Amino acids
What is an amino acid?
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. There are 20 different amino acids in total. 9 of them are considered ‘essential,’ which means our bodies can’t manufacture them and we have to get them via food, drink and/or supplements.
What is the difference between protein and amino acids?
To repair proteins and produce new ones—and ultimately boost your ability to repair muscle—after exercising, your body needs an adequate amount of protein building blocks, molecules called amino acids. Protein needs to be digested before being absorbed.
What is an EAA (Essential Amino Acid)?
9 of the 20 amino acids we are made from are considered ‘essential,’ which means our bodies can’t produce enough of them on its own and we have to get them via food and/or supplements. The others are considered non essential as you can manufacture them from the 9 essential ones.
Does Amino contain any allergens?
We have full certification that our products are allergen free and non GMO.
What is a BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acid)?
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids are grouped together because they are the only three amino acid to have a chain that branches off to one side. Their main role and function is to stimulate protein synthesis in muscle.
What is the difference between a BCAA and an EAA?
BCAA are part of the EAA group, so EAAs contains the BCAA alongside the other 6 essential amino acids.
Why is protein and amino acids important?
Physical activity increases protein turnover in the muscles. Very hard exercise also causes an increase of muscle breakdown and because of this the muscles need to be “repaired”. Therefore, its important to get protein/amino acids when exercising. The better you recover, the harder you can train.

B vitamins are crucial for optimal health and you have to get them from your diet. They support crucial processes like detoxification, hormone balance and are used in every cell in the body. Amino acids supplements increase B vitamin turnover and so we have added them in to balance to formula.
