Amino Acid Supplements

Amino acids are the building blocks of muscle and regulate many of the body’s anabolic processes. Of the amino acids some are considered essential, these Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s) play key roles in thousands of important functions in the body. These essential amino acids contain the Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) which are massively important for muscle recovery and growth. The BCAA Leucine and its derivatives such as HMB, have been shown to be the key players in stopping muscle breakdown and promote muscle building. For this reason amino acids are a key ingredient in many intra-workout supplements.
Some non-essential amino acids, such as Glutamine , are recommended for those under intense periods of exercise due to its muscle sparing and immune boosting properties. Whatever your training goal, amino acids are a quick and easy way to supply your body with key raw materials to help you recover and grow.
