Which are better? Can i get more protein from these pills than i would get from a protein shake? What amino acid pills should I take? because I looked up amino acid pills and there are a bunch of different types of amino acids. Thanks.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. So, your protein shake contains many of these amino acids. It is probably easier to go with the protein shakes because when you buy amino acid pills you have to buy a bunch of different kinds and take them all daily. That can add up to a lot of pills to swallow. Some of the more advanced athletes and bodybuilders have protein shakes plus add a few amino acid pills like carnitine, arginine, ornithine, and BCAAs.

Just remember there are 11 essential amino acids. They are capable of creating the others should there be needed. But essential means just that.. Necessary for the body. So make sure they are included in the list.
May want to check the protein drink and see if they are included also.

A PROTEIN SHAKE WORKS FASTER, IT GETS TO YOUR BLOOD STREAM IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES, NOT THE CASE WITH THE PILLS. BY THE WAY, AMINO ACID PILLS AND PROTEIN PILLS, ARE THE SAME THING.
