Food products with BCAA give me anxiety and depression

[Jpg]

Everytime I consume something with BCAA like sports drinks I get these symptoms.

Afterwards I get insane cravings for high protein foods like chicken, im talking about being able to eat 250 grams of protein within 6 hours.

@BrahminBoss any idea what could be behind it?

link to the drinks. Taurine can drop blood sugar by increasing t3 too quickly.

Theres no taurine, just leucine, valine, isoleucine, glutamine and glycine

whats the ratio of glutamate to glycine? Maybe its just over excitation of glutamate receptors. I never sit well with iso caloric sweeteners either you are basically inducing some level of hypoglycaemia because there will be an insulin spike just due to the sweetness. Also if there was tryptophan added you could be getting very high levels of serotonin in your brain due to the Fernstorm ratio and low competing amino acids. Especially if you dont eat a protein rich food before you drank it.
