ESSENTIAL AMINO SUPPLEMENTS

Essential amino acids, as the name implies, are essential because they can’t be made by our bodies, like all the other amino acids. Instead, we have to get them from our diet- primarily protein rich foods. Nutrition companies have started promoting more types of amino enriched products often called BCAAs.

The role of amino acids goes beyond building blocks – they are essential for the synthesis of proteins, enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, metabolic pathways, mental stabilization, and just about every function that takes place within the human body. Essentially, amino acids aid in maintaining muscle growth and prevents fatigue.

Due to its benefits, this supplement is great to use at any point during your workout.

Most people can get enough protein from a healthy, varied diet. This product aids in the synthesis of the protein. However, if you’re having trouble meeting your daily protein needs due to a medical condition, ask your doctor if amino supplements are right for you.
Be sure to always read the ingredients label while some supplements contain whey protein and can be harmful to those with dairy allergies. It’s also important that you read the ingredients list, because some of them can have unhealthy additives like refined sugar.
