Did some googling.....

BCAA:

http://www.247bodybuilding.com/bcaa.htm

Whey powder:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whey_protein

Whats the difference? Which is better(more suitable) for me?

Simon Dean SG

After reading you still cant find the difference?

Let me put it simply, besides the difference was already answered in your previous thread.

BCAAs is taken for the body to synthesize the protein better and whey protein is taken to increase the amount of protein in your diet.

The difference here is SYNTHESIZE and INCREASE

What if it has both?

I have already ordered this btw. 2lb-> what does this mean?

galapogos SG

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.

BCAA is a group of 3 different amino acids

Whey protein consists of all the 20+ amino acids.

Hope this helps

davidche SG

ohoh, so within this 20+ amino acids contain the group of 3 different amino acids. Am i correct to say so?
To quote "Whey protein contains a high concentration of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's)"

So whats up with the 2lb or 5 lb?
