Hey everyone I have heard that I should be taking BCAA's while cutting to maintain muscle mass. Anything else that helps keep muscle or anything that you have personally used that helped while cutting?

A proper diet will help you more than BCAA's. Make sure you aren't cutting too many calories too fast.

Cutting is the diet and cardio. Calorie deficit, to be more specific.
BCAAs help reserve muscle mass, it has nothing to do with helping you cut.

I understand that and I am on a good diet (not dropping calories too fast), but just supps that are useful when cutting (whether or not they are specifically FOR cutting).

Agree with this one. BCAAs are anti-catabolic, which is what you need when cutting
