Q&A about this product
Question and Answer time!<br />Q: Does this have all of the essential amino acids and in the proper ratio?<br />A: This has EIGHT essential amino acids (arguably the most important for muscle retention) and according to TrueNutrition's website it is the &#34;perfect ratio&#34;.<br /><br />Q: It says 10g per serving, do I need to buy a gram scale to use this properly?<br />A: Nope! It comes with a scoop (may take some digging to find it) BUT the scoop should not be measured to the top. There is a small but very visible ring a few mm below the top that you should aim to a fill for. If you fill to the top you will be close to 13.5g (I did buy a scale when I purchased this and have now verified the weight)<br /><br />Q: Does it really taste that bad and how do I hide the taste?<br />A: It really does taste... not good. The best way to hide the taste is with quality not overly-sweetened lemonade preferably without artificial sweeteners or HFCS. Do NOT take this with any drink containing fats or protein (see next question for details).<br /><br />Q: When is the best time to take this?<br />A: This part is very important. You should take this no sooner than 4 hours after a meal with protein or fats. You should also not eat any fats or proteins for up to 30 minutes after consuming these EAAs. Doing this ensures proper absorption by the digestive system. I take mine in the morning before working out, again right before lunch, and again before dinner.<br /><br />Q: Have you noticed any differences while taking this?<br />A: I've only been taking for a week or so and I immediately noticed I had significantly more energy and was able to push more during my workout. I've also noticed my hunger being decreased quite a bit. Before taking these, if I didn't eat something within about a 4 hour period I would start to get shakey and jittery like I had low blood sugar (I've been tested and not in the hypoglycemic range). Since taking these EAAs I haven't had that happen once.
