And they quote two Med. Sci. Sports Exerc. articles in support. So I've just read them.
In the stomach, "Gakic" breaks into glycine, arginine, and ketoleucine (produced in the body by leucine transamination). Nothing special about these. No wonder both papers that report the improved performance, required 12h fasting prior to the experiments comparing "Gakic" to placebo. It seems a lot cheaper to take some freaking whey, or maybe eat closer than 12 hours before the workout :-)

I haven't read the full article, and I don't feel like walking over the college library, but it does seems like whey would work just fine. Leucine is more effective than ketoleucine at improving skeletal muscle glucose uptake, anyway.

Good point.
Odd, the more a product is "hyped", the more suspicious I am of it.
Maybe I'm just a cynic. ;-) -- Om.

From what I have read on different types of protein powders, Milk or Whey proteins are highest in BCAA's in general, as well as Glutamine. -- Om.

And to quote OLN:
"Gakic crosses the blue line and passes to Hoodia. Hoodia takes the shot, rebound to Gakic. Gakic deeks the defenseman. HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES! Gakic put a wrist shot right through the 5 hole!"
