Don I don't think you're wasting your money on supplemental BCAA's nor would you be wasting it on a whey or any other protein supplement for that matter (I'm not a fan of Soy by the way).

When you think about those of us that are recovering and fighting the long term effects of radiation and our increased need for building blocks, supplementing just makes sense, especially when you consider the intake challenges most of us face.

Getting over 1g of protein/lb of body weight is a steep task via whole foods that even someone without the swallowing issues most of us face would have issues keeping to. I know I've tried it.

I truly believe that "proper" nutrition (not the latest diet fad) is the key to not only recovery (as I think I'm a great example of) but also in our longevity after our cancer ordeal. Always make sure you check this with your physician prior to making any diet changes.


All essential amino acids and BCAAs and will be in a complete source of protein, like Whey, Egg, animal, soy, and other "complete" proteins.
