When I was in TO I'd order everything online from across the border. There shouldn't be any customs issues with BA.

boo i want this stuff now, any particular brands to look for or are they all alike?

Thanks for the article! I've been ignorant of BA and it's effects because I've never really been interested in these types of supplements, but now that I read about the benefits I might give it a try sometime down the road.

David, any chance on writing an article like this on Creatine? I'm afraid I missed that bandwagon too

Dave, what is your personal recommendation on dosing?

How Do I Use It?

Like creatine monohydrate, BA is loaded for a period of weeks before decreasing to a maintenance dose. Commonly a total of 8g is used in divided doses for ~20 days. Once saturation is reached, 6g is used in divided doses.

I usually prefer bulk supplements to specific products. The latter often have superfluous "bells and whistles". BA from reputable sources should be the same.

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "these types of supplements"...?

Like creatine monohydrate

Every clinical study I've ever read suggests that creatine monohydrate works fine without the loading phase, meaning just beginning supplementation with say, 5g per day. Do you feel loading is necessary to gain a specific advantage over use without it?

[David Barr]

I totally agree that loading is not necessary. That said, I often employ a more realistic loading phase (20-25g a day is just ridiculous) simply because it provides faster results. Creatine is so cheap that it's not a big deal.

In short, the only advantage it confers is one of quicker saturation.
This is great for impatient people with ADD (like me).
