Nice read. For musclebuilding, energy and fat loss, the king of amino acids is the BCAA variety.

I'm personally not a big fan of amino acids supplements since they are basically proteins you can get from food and also our bodies produce most of them. This goes for majority of supplements as well.
The only supplement that definitely matters in my book is Whey protein. Amino acids supplements are effective, don't get me wrong, but many bodybuilders live without them. Besides, today's whey proteins contains plenty of BCAAs and other aminos.
