Essential AMINO Powder is a matrix composed of essential amino acids obtained by vegetable fermentation. Essential amino acids (EAAs - Essential Amino Acids) are those which the human body is unable to synthesise independently in sufficient quantities to meet requirements, and which must therefore be obligatorily taken in via the diet. It is important to remember that the EAA also includes branched chain amino acids, known as BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids), and that amino acids are the organic molecules that our bodies use to form proteins.
**What is an essential amino acid supplement for? When food alone is not enough to meet requirements or when the amount consumed of certain foods is reduced, EAA supplements are a valuable aid in providing the body with everything it needs for protein synthesis.
Essential AMINO is characterised by the presence of an l-leucine, l-isoleucine and l-valine ratio of 2:1:1, therefore with greater presence of leucine: this amino acid is in fact essential for protein synthesis. Furthermore, the 2:1:1 ratio of amino acids is the most naturally occurring. Essential AMINO also contains all 8 EAAs in an optimal ratio to maximise bioavailability and minimise nitrogenous waste production.
**What are the essential amino acids (EAAs) for humans? For the (adult) human being, there are eight essential amino acids, specifically:
- Lysine: found mainly in milk, soya, beef, but almost absent in cereals, it is used to form carnitine and vitamin B3. For athletes, it can speed up post-workout recovery.
- Tryptophan**: found in milk and dairy products, eggs, legumes, meat and fish. It is an important amino acid in protein synthesis, and is the starting point in the synthesis of serotonin and niacin.
- Phenylalanine**: found in most animal and vegetable proteins, i.e. in meat, offal, fish, eggs and even brown rice. It is involved in many metabolic processes, also used as a 'structural building block' of proteins, and is involved in the formation of thyroid hormones.
- Threonine**: found mainly in maize, soya, eggs, mushrooms, cod, pork, lamb, rabbit and veal. It is one of the amino acids most easily missed in the vegan diet. It is a constituent of antibodies, and therefore plays a key role in maintaining the immune system.
- Methionine: found in dairy products, egg whites, sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, cod and soy protein. Methionine is the basis for the production of carnitine and cysteine, as well as creatine, taurine and vitamin B12. It has a chelating effect on certain heavy metals and if present in sufficient quantities acidifies the pH of urine.
- Leucine: milk, maize, chicken and eggs are the main dietary sources of this amino acid. It plays an important role at the muscular level, and is an alternative source of energy during intense sporting activity.
- Isoleucine: found mainly in maize, potatoes, chicken, eggs, peanuts, bresaola, lamb. It is closely linked to glucose requirements (it is in fact defined as a glucogenic and ketogenic amino acid), prevents structural protein catabolism and promotes recovery after prolonged exertion.
- Valine**: the following are rich in it: egg white powder, soya protein, Spirulina algae, dairy products and dairy products. It plays important roles particularly in tissue reconstruction.
Of these 8 EAAs, the last 3 described (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) are known as BCAAs (from Branched Chain Amino Acid), i.e. branched amino acids, which are characterised by the presence of a branched side chain.
DIRECTION (1 serving = 8,5 g)
Dissolve 8,5 g (2 scoops) in 200 ml of water. Stir well and take once a day.
We recommend splitting your daily amino acid intake (2 scoops) between pre- and post-workout, so 1 scoop pre-workout and 1 scoop post-workout. This will both support anabolic processes and counteract the processes of muscle catabolism, supporting muscle growth but preserving tissue under stress, as well as effectively supporting hydration.
STORAGE
Store in cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
