Amino Acid Blends

Amino Acid Blends are products made up of a variety of different amino acids. These products are incredibly unique because of the anabolic and anti-catabolic effects they have on muscle tissue.

Taking an amino acid blend product prior to a workout will flood the muscles with anabolic ingredients. So the moment the muscles need to start repairing they are saturated with the pieces needed to do the job. The production of specific growth hormones are accelerated around crucial times -- pre-workout, intra-workout, post-workout-- when these products are used properly. This extra production will enhance muscle revcoery and muscle growth. If muscle gains have been an issue, taking in an amino acid blend product immediately upon awakening and immediately before bed can have a positive effect. These two times are important for the body to have a high amount of amino acids to fuel muscles.

Using an amino acid blend during an endurance activity or common cardiovascular activity will help to stop muscle catabolization. This fact is extremely important for athletes who play highly active sports such as Footy, Rugby, and Soccer. When the body runs out of stored carbohydrates to use as energy it taps into fat and muscles to fulfill it's energy needs. This muscle loss is detrimental to performance and long term health.

An amino acid blend can also be handy on a weight loss diet when calorie consumption is restricted. Consuming an amino acid shake will be virtually calorie free all the while supplying the body with essential nutrients.
