Know of good cheap BCAAs?

I read on bb.com that a constant stream of BCAA is not as good as intermitten protein spikes. Apparently our bodies sense when there is a noticeable sudden change in amino acid levels and this triggers an anabolic state.

I tried to find the exact article but couldn't sorry, but maybe someone can confirm this if they've heard of it before?

Never heard of that one before.

Be good if you could find it, sounds interesting.

i have access to bulk BCAAs(l-valine, l-leucine and l-isoleucine) and various other amino acids[and vitamins as well] such as l-arginine, l-glutamine etc. if anyone is keen, i could flip some off at a reasonable price.

hey man just wondering how much and is it branded?

unbranded as i purchase in bulk(of course). i can provide you with the COA and PA if you like? it would be $85/kg inclusive of freight charges. pm me if you are still interested.

the section that matters:

Now before you ask, let me stop you - I already know what you are thinking. Perhaps it would be best to just slam whey protein drinks all day to keep your system swimming in amino acids, right? Wrong! It may seem counter-intuitive, but it would not keep protein synthesis rates up.2

Just having constantly high levels of amino acids or merely having a positive protein balance doesn't stimulate protein synthesis2,5,11 and doesn't lead to increases in muscle mass.18

Then what does, you ask? All evidence points to the same thing time and time again. It is the acute and large increase in the amount of amino acids in the blood that causes protein synthesis rates to increase.2,5,11,20,15,13 If you were to tap a vein with an IV to crank blood levels of amino acids up and keep them there, we would see a dramatic increase in protein synthesis as well as a decrease in protein breakdown.11,2

However, right around two hours, synthesis rates will level off and return to normal despite the abnormally high levels of amino acids.2 What is even more interesting is that even if amino acid levels are already very high and protein synthesis is dropping, I can consume more amino acids and further stimulate an increase in synthesis rates.11
