The Breakdown:
Amino acids:
EAA/ *BCAA: Lysine, Threonine, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Methionine, *Leucine, *Isoleucine, *Valine.
BCAA 2:1:1 is a supplement made up of the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. It comes at a ratio of 2:1:1 which is believed to be the optimal ratio for muscle protein synthesis and preventing the breakdown of muscle protein. It is known for reducing fatigue during exercise and serving as a source of energy. It is also known for relieving muscle damage and soreness. Although BCAAs stimulate mTOR and are anti-catabolic to increase protein synthesis you need all nine essential amino acids. Including the full spectrum of amino acids provides all the benefits of BCAAs while getting a stronger anabolic response.
Non-essential Amino acids: Tyrosine, Cysteine as (N-Acetyl-Cysteine)
Tyrosine is the precursor of several essential catecholamine neurotransmitters that are attributed to smooth brain functioning such as dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine or NAC helps to replenish glutathione levels in the body, which can increase nitric oxide levels in the body. NAC is also utilized by the body to build antioxidants.
Uptake support: Astragin
AstraGin helps the absorption of several nutrients including amino acids for increased nutrient uptake. By promoting tight junction functioning and healthy gut lining, AstraGin promotes a reduction in inflammation experienced around the intestinal lining.
Performance support
Coconut water is known for supporting rapid hydration thanks to its electrolyte content in addition to a being a good source of B-complex vitamins. Betaine Anhydrous also supports hydration and has been shown to stimulate water-based pumps and improve power. AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate) is known to stimulate pumps as well as by maintaining a constant release of arginine in the body. Taurine according to research may help improve energy levels, combat exercise-related fatigue, and reduce muscle damage. Lastly for energy L-Carnitine L-Tartrate which utilizes long-chain fatty acids can play a crucial role in helping your body oxidize fat for fuel.
