I have a shake powder suppliment that I take every day at least once, sometimes 2x a day. It has all of the bcaa's in it and I can drink it in water, juice or milk. I tried to take the pill suppliments, THEY ARE TOO BIG TO SWALLOW! I tried cutting them in half........don't do that! The pills have jagged edges that cut you all the way down your throat....IF you can get them down! P-A-I-N! So, the shake form was better.
Honestly, (I am going to sound like a stupid girl, now...I realize this) I don't know what the benefits of drinking a protein shake with the amino's are! I just do it because I was told it is essential to my "training".
I think the shake is called "Renew" at GNC? It tastes pretty good as far as chocolate shake mixes go.
