Yeah, there are plenty, but none of them are legal.

nimbleskipper89 said:...I honestly think you need to dig a little deeper here. You can't just list Whey as if it were a single amino acid, and BCAAs aren't actually all the essential amino acids—there are nine total, but when people say BCAAs, they’re specifically talking about those three branched-chain ones: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. There's a lot to learn about supplements, and you really have to steer clear of that "all protein is the same, so just buy the cheapest one" mindset. It's an unknown, for sure—speaking from my own experience, and my professional background is actually pretty closely tied to what I'm writing about here.

Let's try looking at it this way:

Whey is a protein.
Proteins are made up of amino acids (notice the plural there!) held together by peptide bonds.
So, if we follow that logic, whey is basically—well, what?

No matter how much someone tries to twist the argument, at the end of the day, whey is essentially just amino acids.

nimbleskipper89 said:...I honestly don't see what the big deal is here. I mean, we all learned back in elementary school that proteins are basically just chains of amino acids, right? So if you're listing out amino acids, sure, you can toss in L-glutamine or some BCAA, but where would you even put Whey in that list—would it be essential or non-essential? And don't even get me started on creatine, because is that even an amino acid or what? My point is, if you're going to try and dive deep into the science of it all, you really shouldn't offer up surface-level info, or worse, just plain wrong information.

Whey definitely belongs in that lineup just as much as BCAA does.
The real issue is that you were trying to correct someone using information that just isn't quite right. Saying Whey isn't made of amino acids is just silly. Just because the label on the tub says "Whey" instead of "Amino Acids" doesn't change the chemistry of what it actually is. Now, creatine isn't an amino acid—that’s true, but I wasn't even addressing that part.

Whether the amino acids in Whey are considered essential or non-essential really just comes down to the specific amino acid profile of whatever brand you're buying, so you'd actually have to check the fine print on the back of the container to know for sure. To make it a bit easier to understand, most supplements are a blend of both essential and non-essential amino acids, whereas the essential ones are often isolated into their own specific supplement known as BCAA.👍

nimbleskipper89 said:I’m honestly not quite sure where you were going with that, but I have to say, what you wrote just isn't right. Creatine isn't an amino acid, and if we're calling Whey an amino acid, then I guess we might as well just say steak is an amino acid too. It seems like you might be a little bit out of the loop on this one, which is probably why that girl jumped in trying to act like she knows everything.

Well, actually, meat is made of amino acids, among other things. Anything that carries even a single milligram of protein is essentially delivering amino acids.

At the end of the day, proteins are really nothing more than amino acids held together by peptide bonds.😉

nimbleskipper89 said:(whey, creatine, L-glutamine, BCAA, they're all just amino acids) ...

See, those aren't actually amino acids.

So if they aren't amino acids, what on earth is whey then?

Honestly, pulling something like that at two in the morning is just straight-up nightmare fuel for most people. I mean, sure, the folks who actually showed up for the concert probably had a blast, but I didn't come here for the music—I came for the party, and let me tell you, I'm definitely not feeling it right now...

Rachel Bennett2 said:Man, I was just looking at the ticket listings and honestly, people are absolutely losing their minds over this. The demand for tickets is just through the roof right now—it feels like everyone and their mother is trying to snag a seat at the exact same time. It's kind of wild how fast things are moving.
I honestly think the organizers completely undershot what this crowd could handle; they really didn't account for how many people would actually show up. 😢

Honestly, after catching that show, I can't shake this feeling that the only thing actually being undervalued there was the crowd itself.

Honestly, the whole thing was just a total organizational disaster from start to finish.

I'm looking to grab a ticket ASAP, and honestly, I don't even care what the price tag looks like right now.
