Active Ingredients
BCAAs
BCAA (branched-chain amino acid) is the group term for the amino acids leucine, valine, and isoleucine.
These amino acids are the most specific ones to muscle growth and repair.
BCAAs have been shown to reduce the production of cortisol, a “muscle-wasting” hormone. They can also minimise recovery time (1).
They are all fermented in this formula, which improves their absorption.
Glutamine
Glutamine is an amino acid that’s believed to boost muscle growth.
Research shows that it might not be necessary when BCAAs are already being taken (2, 3).
Citrulline Malate
Citrulline malate is a compound that boosts nitric-oxide levels.
Nitric oxide expands the blood vessels, which can improve blood flow and the “pump” (4).
It also reduces muscle soreness, and may improve recovery time.
An effective dose is 6-8g.
Betaine
Betaine is a compound found in beetroot.
It’s been shown by research to improve power output, and may also increase muscle mass (5).
The effective dose is 2.5g.
Electrolytes
Electrolytes are important minerals, which are often lost via sweat during intense exercise.
Supplementing with electrolytes can reduce the negative effects from this kind of dehydration (6).
Black Pepper Extract
Black pepper contains a compound called piperine.
Piperine is a “bioavailability enhancer” – it increases the absorption of other ingredients (7).
This may improve the delivery and power of the other ingredients in AminoJect.
