View Full Version : Supps Question
Ok, I searched all over the supps forum for an answer to this next question. If I missed it, I apologize for sounding repetitive. I know the whole supps thing gets a bit overloaded with the same questions being asked over and over. I didn't find this one, so my question is about BCAA stack and Storm. Post workout..can you take both together or is that too much? I have Nitro too..but I don't take the caps post workout...for now. I use the Nitro paks on my off days and my cardio days.
So, can we do the BCAA stack and Storm together? Also...would you take Storm in your cutting/dieting phase? So far, I do not see myself retaining water from the creatine. I only have one time a month where I retain a lot of water..sorry, had to go there. I know many worry about water retention from creatine. I don't really see this with Storm and I especially like that.

If ya want to be absolutely sure, take free form aminos like those find in BCAA Stack or EAA Stack or Animal Nitro, alone. You don't want the aminos possibly competing for absorption with other compounds. Remember, the growing body of science looking at EAAs didn't look at them combined with other compounds. If you're taking BCAA Stack, I'd just take it with Animal Nitro immediately after lifting. Then, a short while after, take Storm with your regular PWO shake.

Now you can never be sure if a compound/ingredient is going to compete with free form aminos or negatively impact it in any way. Since free form EAAs and BCAAs are expensive, why take a chance? That's my feeling. All the solid EAA studies looked at EAAs and nothing else. Until studies come out looking at free form EAAs combined with, say, creatine, I'll stick to what's been researched.
