23 Free-Form Amino Acids Amino Athlete is a balanced blend of 23 amino acids, some of which are involved in the natural maintenance of muscle tissue, while others assist in the utilization of fatty acids for energy. This is an excellent supplement for people who want to maximize the benefits from exercise and competition. KEY FEATURES -
Ensures that all cells, tissues and organs have a ready supply of amino acids. -
Provides the body with the support to produce proteins. -
Supplementation with amino acids is critical for restoration of appropriate amounts of amino acids, which help foster better health. -
Maximizes the benefits from exercise and competition. All life depends on proteins. Proteins carry out all biological functions in living organisms including humans. Proteins are made of amino acids, which are their basic building blocks. Essentially, amino acids are strung like beads in long chains in proteins. In the body, proteins are made from individual amino acids. Therefore, nutritional supplementation with amino acids ensures that all cells, tissues and organs in the body have a ready supply of amino acids. Amino Athlete™ contains many of the most important amino acids and branched chain amino acids for optimal nutritional support. These amino acids, of course, provide the body with the support to produce proteins. Amino acids, however, carry out other important functions. Nutritional supplementation keeps the amino acid supply in the bloodstream within healthy range. Under some circumstances, such as stress whether it is due to high-intensity exercise or other reasons, amino acids in the blood can be depleted so that important substances in the body cannot be produced in the right amounts at the right time in the right place. For example, if serotonin cannot be synthesized in the brain, ordinary stress may be aggravated to bigger problems. Some amino acids, such as glycine, glutamine and, among others arginine, combine with and neutralize toxins. This is of paramount importance for liver health, since detoxification takes place in the liver. Branched chain amino acids (BCAA), valine, isoleucine and leucine, greatly aid detoxification and liver function. Hence, supplementation with amino acids is critical for restoration of appropriate amounts of amino acids, which help foster better health. Amino Athlete™ is a full-spectrum amino acid nutritional aid to that help maintain optimal levels of amino acids in the bloodstream and promote good health at any stage of life. The body does produce certain peptides, such as di-, tri- and tetra-peptides (containing two, three and four amino acids, respectively), but they are a byproduct of the digestive process or the breakdown of food in the body. As such, these peptides are not available for incorporation into the proteins and, therefore, do not serve as building blocks. Amino acids are essential to the human body. Bodybuilders can especially benefit from supplementing amino acids because they aid in repair, growth, and development of muscle tissue. The body, through assimilation of amino acids, produces over 50,000 proteins and over 15,000 enzymes. Amino acids are not only responsible for the production of all the body's enzymes (including digestive enzymes), but they also play a key role in normalizing moods, concentration, aggression, attention, sleep, and sex drive. Suggested Use: 1 to 4 tablets as needed, especially prior to athletic activity. KEEP TIGHTLY CLOSED after each use. Moisture absorption by some amino acids may cause tablet desintigration.
