This supplement helps to produce a balanced mixture of amino acids in the body to support healthy tissue growth and repair. The body uses amino acids to build protein, which is the main component of muscles, skin, hair, nails, eyes, and enzymes. Protein, which is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, is essential to forming infection-fighting antibodies, and it is also essential to growth and maintenance of all tissues. Eight amino acids are “essential”—they cannot be manufactured in the body and must be consumed. Adequate amounts of the essential amino acids should be consumed daily for optimum health.
There are numerous studies covering the positive benefits and importance of amino acids for muscle building and repair in athletes.
No side effects expected at recommended dosage.
Consult a health care professional before using if you have any serious medical condition or are on any medications.
Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of reach of children.
The eight essential amino acids, which cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from the diet, are isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
