Grenade Defend, a full spectrum amino acid supplement primarily designed for use during or immediately post workout. If you're lifting heavy and often and you want your muscles to grow to their maximum potential, you need to protect them from catabolic forces whenever possible. That means preventing muscle breakdown! The most basic, unavoidable reality when it comes to muscle growth is that you must ensure that more amino acids are entering the muscle tissue throughout the day than are leaving it. To achieve this delicate but crucial balance, you've got to be regularly making the most important amino acids available to your muscles.
worth a try at that price, never used BCAA's before but for 10p a serving it's worth a go

A very unscientific way of making a supplement decision, also how will you percieve/attribute any effects from the supplement without ruling out Placebo? You won't be able to is the answer. It's cheap so I might as well try it, chalk is cheaper, and unlikely to have any significant detrimental health effects, you might as well try eating chalk based on that reasoning.
not useless then. 1.5g of protein per kg of body weight! Do you know the rda according to popular practice?

Only playing Devil's Advocate here. Just making people think possibly and that's usually a good thing. People often pop a supplement without considering so many factors which are bioavailability, is there any scientific basis to actually take the supplement in the first place? These are just some questions people should really ask themselves. It really doesn't matter how cheap the supplement is, how will you determine if it works for you in all honesty?
If it boils down to well I might as well take it because it's cheap and it might do something, for me that's never a reason to take a supplement.

In terms of chilling out you could try L-Theanine or Agmatine. I wouldn't recommend something like Phenibut for any more than a few days. There's so many things that could possibly chill some one out, even a beer. Due to complex biochemistry and genetic polymorphisms, not everything works in the same way for all people. The complexity is the problem and further complexity is added when you consider that general supplements are not tested for bioavailabity and effect anywhere near pharmaceuticals are. In fact pharmaceuticals take so long to market because they have to pass Phase III trials. Then you have the added complexity of generic pharmaceutical formulations once the original patent has expired.
I speak the truth, what little I know of it. Science knows little truth but aims to find it. We should always reason our choices with ourselves.

Just because I said I'd never used BCAA's before doesn't mean I have no knowledge of them, I haven't tried them before but have been pushing my training on recently and this price tipped me over the edge to trying them - Feel free to follow my Instagram page @islebefit for regular updates on my training progress and you can see I do know what I am doing food and supplement wise (though my latest post is of a dominos pizza but enough about that...)

I think most people who don't even go to the gym or body build etc will eat 1g/kg per day without really trying.
These supplements are almost wholly marketed to bodybuilders/gym goers who tend to already eat a very high protein diet under the promise of increased muscle growth and repair. You already get these effects from eating enough protein in general as well as all your amino acids and so this product is pretty much a waste of money.
Spend it on creatine instead, one of the few supplements proven to do something. :smiley:

This supplement is a godsend if training in a fasted state. Great for people on an Intermittent Fasting "diet" who are done with training a few hours before breaking fast. Barely lost any gains I made when I went into a cut, as opposed to previously, where I would lose a decent amount of gains.
