I work out a lot and stopped the BCAA a month or so before treatment so it was out of my system. Best to be on the safe side.

Hello and welcome to the forum! The recommendation is to avoid any supplements during treatment with any protocol. The protein addition would depend on the reason, type and quantity. I would try and keep my protein intake based on proper dietary sources versus supplemental powders. The BCAA's would be something I would avoid. They are an amino acid supplement and could present an adverse reaction with the drugs action and/or an alteration of your blood test results.

The best advice I can offer would be to avoid them on treatment. I also recommend discussing it with your doctor before considering their use. Good luck, let us know how things progress.
