In a previous post (can’t find it) Jordan said that a bcaa supplement taken as pre or intra workout won’t interfer with the refractory period of a meal taken prior to the training. How about if you take bcaa or eaa that are mixed with carbs to give you some extra energi. For example I sometime take an EAA that also contains maltodextrin and fructose in my bcaa to keep me a bit more alert. Would that interfer with the refractory period?
Thank you for the input. I appreciate all the time you guys put into this board.
A follow up question: Is there any data on when something start prolonging the refractory period? Does it need to be a solid like a fruit/snacks or is a can of soda (or more likely in my case a glas of milk) between meals be enough to interfer?
