Combines two major classes of nutritional supplements in one product

I am an athlete (climber, fighter) and have not missed training since 1977. Therefore, the topic of dietary supplements is important to me. I have been taking BCAA and amino complex supplements for many years. I also add L-carnitine (commonly used in "night fat burners"). Every night I make my own combination of amino acids and L-carnitine. When I saw the FLEXX product I thought: "How clever! Same combination, but already done for me. They add some flavors (which I think taste amazing) but other than that they keep it simple. The supplement seems to be better. As a result, the customer spends a lot of money. So I buy a few specific key ingredients rather than a company's eclectic mix. The pack says "Pre/Intra/Post" but it's really a nod to the idea that you need to take something just before your workout (you don't and it's useless) during your workout (just another pointless, unproductive distraction) and post-workout. After causing cell damage and triggering an adaptive response during a hard workout, your body begins the repair process. It takes days, not minutes (which is why we have separate programs). So if you want to benefit from this supplement, you need these amino acids in your body on a regular basis, not just right after a workout or at some other specific time. The exception is that taking amino acids before bed provides these building blocks for muscles to use while you sleep. Taking L-Carnitine (the other active ingredient in this supplement) at this time also means you are burning fat while you sleep. But you should also consume these amino acids and L-carnitine during the day and at any convenient time. Remember that these amino acids are acids. That means you need to wash them off your teeth (at least) after drinking the drink you make from this powdered supplement. I really like this supplement and will be ordering more soon.
