Best BCAA ratio?

What's the best ratio? And are they even worth the moeny?

No, in most cases they are a waste of money.

Depends on what your diet looks like and your goals imo.

I agree with doc IF your diet is dialed in. If you are eating correctly you will get all the amino acids you need from your food, plus whatever protein supplements you take if you use them.
If you do decide to buy BCAAs though, 2:1:1 ratio will be the best. Higher ratios are just marketing schemes to jack up the price or beat other brands , but 2:1:1 will be the best. Recommended to drink them around your workout time, before/during/after

Thanks for the help I won't bother. What's the opinion on creatine?

It's worth buying? Or can I get enough from red meat

You'd need to eat several pounds of red meat each and every day to get the same effect as supplementing with 3-5g of creatine daily.

I take BCAA's its cheap and effective. I think its good before and after training. Try ON brand seems to work well. You don't need it. But, if you can't put down a meal right after or even a shake this will hold you over

I noticed that I could go longer in the gym and not feel as drained when using bcaa's.
