My Amino Acid bottle says take 2-3 times daily. I usually popped one in the morning upon waking up, one immediately afterworkout (before protein shake) And the other between meals during the day or right before bed.

I just take it right before i take my protein shake after i workout(helps break down protein)....but it would also be a good idea to take it right before bed.

AA dont help break down protein, they are the end result of broken down protein. It is good to take AA right after workout because then your body has AA for protein synthesis instead of having to wait to break down protein to AA.

your not going to get much from taking the serving 2-3 times a day and if you mean one pill when you say one thats even worse. The pills are way too expensive. When i work out i take 30g bcaa and 20g for cardio. Thats the equivalent of 50 pills for the workout. Dont buy the pills, dont take miniscule doses that arent going to do anything.
