    [RC] B.C.A.A. Complex - Rides 2 Far


    I have a tube here from Peak Performance Nutrients called BCAA Complex,
    or "Branched Chain Amino Acids"  Says it combines Branched Chain Amino
    Acids and necessary co-factors in the most complete nourishing formula"
    
    I got it at a ride as a free perk signing up I think.  I'm not quite sure
    what to do with it (except that I want to empty the syringe and use it in
    my icing experiment!)  It's a 2 dose syringe with the screw out measuring
    ring thingy.  But I really do appreciate it when companies give samples
    and want to give them a fair trial.
    
    The guaranteed analysis reads:
    
    Magnesium (Min.) 227 mg
    Zinc (min) 38 mg
    Chromium (Min) 54 mcg
    Vitamin B-6 (min) 1,125 mg
    L-Valine 8,550 mg
    L-Leucine 10,125 mg
    L-Isoleucine 3600 mg
    L-Glutamine 787 mg
    
    Ingredients: Corn Oil, L-Leucine, L-Valine,L-Isoleucine, Magnesium
    Sulfate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, L-Glutamine, Zinc Citate, Lecithin,
    Chromium Picolinate, Calcium Silicate, Polysorbate 80, Sorbic Acid
    
    Directions:  Administer one serving directly from syringe onto back of
    horse's tongue before and after exercise.
    
    So, anybody know anything about this stuff? It tastes awful.  Would
    probably be better with electrolytes packed in it. :-P  I don't know how
    anybody is supposed to put paste on the "back" of a horse's tongue. You'd
    have to stick your arm in up to the elbow cause it's thick and doesn't
    squirt back there like yogurt.  How will these ingredients get along with
    electrolytes? If I use it during competition will it be too much of
    anything?  Is it really helpful in any way?  If it's just a dose of
    vitamins I'll use it and have the syringe empty for my icing experiments.
