You understand that your muscles recover via BCAA and other aminos naturally occurring in proteins, right?
And you need these before the aminos are digested and either converted to glucose or ketones, so you whey from 7am isnt going to help your 6pm post recovery. So you will need to be actively digesting them for recovery. It's just that post workout is the optimal time for recovery. Now drinking a protein shake (again you drink the protein for the aminos to help protein synthesis aka recovery) so stacking with an adequate protein shake might end up having you with excess that is either converted to glucose or ketones, sweated out or expelled via urine.
This type of supplement is actually useful anytime your body is fatigued. I mean you could also eat a meal, but maybe you ate already or don't want to spend the calories on another meal. You can drink an amino shake to then help get you less fatigued. Ofc it only goes so far (like you cant just be sleep deprived and this gets you back in shape like you don't need sleep). by isolating the amino parts of protein we use for recovery, you negate the side effects of your gi having to digest an entire protein shake, I personally can't stand exercising and then drinking an entire protein shake. I much prefer an amino mix post workout, with some GABA.
It's not magic but it does help. Everything you ingest is made up of all kinds of amino acids. It's actually refreshing to see one caffeine free as most have a shit ton of caffeine in it. Though some argue the stimulation from the caffeine helps more effectively deliver the aminos, faster, by increasing your heart rate and all that jazz.
But back to the original statement, ingesting aminos in this manner is actually less taxing on your GI than if you were to ingest complete proteins to achieve the same result.

A regular diet contains more than enough consumption of BCAAs. You don't need this crap.
It's about metabolizing it at peak times. You aren't at optimal protein synthesis when you eat breakfast. It's not just as black and white as consuming enough bcaas in your diet - its about having bcaas actively metabolizing at specific time ranges, based around when your muscles need to recover. Idunno what narrative got y'all thinking supplements aren't for use cases when you need to supplement them. I see this all over BCAA listings and it is like really stupid, it seems like a ploy to sell more whey protein or some shit lol but its funny to see googlers post this without even actually taking any time to understand these supplements, how your body metabolizes them and so forth.
Some of us are in calorie deficits and not eating more protein than we need for optimal protein synthesis. Isn't it 1g = 1lb for peak protein? If your diet consists of that much protein, then good for you. I eat 8oz of beef per day, and some cold cut ham or turkey. Other than that, i have a huel shake with like 25g of protein. This isn't enough if you're exercising and want your muscles to recover as much as possible. But I don't like protein shakes after workout, whey is only good for muscle recovery, because its fastest to break down in the body. so i go for bcaa. It isn't crap at all, you just read a google article. Congrats on your education. They also help when you're fatigued. Could you beat your fatigue by eating protein, waiting for your body to break it down into bcaas, or just take a bcaa supplement. That's why they say during workout, because actively metabolizing bcaas whilst exercising with deliver the bcaas to your muscles -> bcaas are sent to your muscles during metabolism, so if you intake your bcaas pre workout its kind of backwards, like you're starting recovery before you've broken down your muscles. And you have optimal times of recovery for when you break down your muscles, usually being 15-30mins post work out, and while sleeping. So eating protein hours before your workout and thinking those bcaas havent already been metabolized and sent to your non-broken down muscles, you are like just wasting nutrition. Unless you actually exercise daily, in which case it will help from your previous days exercise. At that point, you are just targeting BCAA ingestion for different areas (ie. Your breakfast will help recover from yesterdays arm workout, your dinner will help recover from todays leg workout)
Lmfao i love how you hit the thread with " Wow this supplement is pointless if you don't need to supplement it" XD if you are in a protein rich diet and already taking whey then yea, you get the BCAAs there. But I'd suggest drinking your whey after you work out because that's the best time to do it. B for us who like to fast, negate calories any time we can, and have quicker absorption by negating metabolizing whey and going straight for the good parts of it, then this is a good product. I hate guzzling down whey and feeling bloated after working out. BCAA supplements are already broken down, so you pass up having to break down your whey or whatever you eat for bcaa/eaa post exercise (doesnt have to immediate, even dinner hours later) for recovery.
If what you're saying is true, then supplementing whey is pointless too. Because of you get enough BCAAs/EAAs in your diet, why do you need to supplement whey ? I don't even drink whey protein. I have some casein for when im sleeping or fasting sometimes. Even then i don't really take it that much.
BCAA don't improve your performance - they improve your recovery. So if you better recover during exercise, you could maybe say it helps your performance as far as endurance goes. But it isn't going to make you lift any heavier than you normally would.
