Any specific brand? I don't see any reason why they would hinder UC. When are you taking them? Pre/Post workout to help prevent muscle breakdown? Not sure about your diet but you usually get your amino's from your protein sources.

Before my flare I was taking BCAA powder Xtend by Scivation. However once I started to flare I cut it out because of all the artificial color, and other ingredients. The flavor was Watermelon Madness.

errmm its called maximum strength amino 1500, free form and & peptide bond.

The ones im particularly interested in are l-threonine and l-tyrosine as i have read some kind of reasearch these are beneficial in some way to UC something to do with hormone balances??

Diet reasonably good do have the odd cheat day try to cut out wheat and junk food mostly meals consist of white mean and veg or salad.

Cheers
