Flavones can be safely taken by men and women who want to boost their lean muscle gains without risking hazards associated with taking anabolic steroids. A dose of 400-800 mg can be taken daily, split over two doses. Its effects can be enhanced by taking it with protein due to ability of protein to force nutrients into muscle cells.

Methoxy can also be stacked safely with ZMA to maximise testosterone gains, or ecdysterone to increase protein synthesis, maintain a positive nitrogen balance and keep body in an anabolic state.

Non-essential amino acids are just as important as essential variety and term simply means they can be made by body from vitamins and other amino acids. The non-essential amino acids are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, cystine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine and tyrosine.

The BCAA's are especially important to athletes because they are metabolized in muscle rather than liver. This means that they can be used either to build new proteins or be burned as fuel to create energy. Supplementing with BCAA's has been shown to result in measurable gains in both muscle strength and size. Taken before a workout BCAA's can improve performance and delay onset of fatigue. They also operate as anabolic agents allowing body to burn fat and not muscle.

As a supplement that has no reported side effects, branched chain amino acids offer many benefits to serious bodybuilder.
