I started mixing BCAA powder with my creatine pre-workout. seems to be working nicely. However, the powder I get (Protein Customizer) doesn't seem to dissolve very easily in the water and I'm using a teaspoon in 25oz. Is that the norm or does some one use a different BCAA powder that dissolves much easier.

LOL...I like drinking it throughout my workout. After every set I take a couple of sips. I think it's been helping my traing a lot. I don't want to walk around the gym with a pocket full of horse pills. Plus the pills will take longer to dissolve and absorb. The only thing is that the powder tastes awful though.

Those gel caps from schwartz have powder in them, and they aren't that big. I pop a couple after each exercise... and they disolve quick, because occasionally I burp them - nasty!

Yea the bcaa powder doesn't mix well with any fluid. What i usually do is mix it with my protien shakes in the morning and after a workout.

I had a thread on this a while back as well. basically the powder is crap for mizing with fluid and tastes like hell..

I tried mizing with just about every kind of juice and water protein and milk... nothing ever killed that taste and nothing mixed well.

What I finally found that actually is easier... is I take a big scoop of the powder and dump it in my mouth and then wash it down with a big swig of water... over instantly and the taste is gone right away... still used powder form. Voila. Nice solution for me anyway...

Give it a try... much better than adding it toa drink and then suffering through that taste the whole time you drink your protein or whatever...
