I like taking a 50/50 mix of malto/dextrose. There is a lot of controversy over "waxymaize starch" and it's ability to absorb quickly. I've tried it, and admittedly it is lighter on the stomach but I went back to the basics.

I agree, BCAA drinks are good to sip on if you are on a calorie deficient diet, or prepping for a contest. The thing is almost all protein shakes already have all the aminos ya need.
