what amino acids acids are best while on cycle to promote growth,i know there an essential part of muscle growth , an theirs a million an one answers on google saying different things, so its a bit confusing as to whats really essential

This is what I use bro...nothing fancy, solid company and straight forward.

L-leucine
Leucine is the primary BCAA, and is the BCAA where most benefit is given to. Supplementing Leucine on its own is still beneficial and may be cheaper than BCAA mixes

There's not a elite brand out there per say, just go with a reputable brand, its all the same stuff man.. if its pricey that doesnt mean its better.. I use most all BodyTech by vit-shoppe.. however for better taste I do sub out here and there with other brands

You need to consume all amino acids (i.e. Complete Proteins) to provide the essentials for protein synthesis. However, Google PubMed, and search BCAA and exercise. Fair amount of research supporting the use of BCAA supplementation post workout to promote muscle growth. For example: Activation of mTORC1 by leucine is potentiated by branched-chain amino acids and even more so by essential amino acids following resistance exercise. - PubMed - NCBI

Hey bro? Good post duder...

Cheers guys, some great input

The following is not an amino acid, but just tossing this out for you to consider as another supplement. I take this about an hour before my workout. Tribulus Terrestris. From PubMed: Effects of Tribulus terrestris saponins on exercise performance in overtraining rats and the underlying mechanisms. - PubMed - NCBI
