Working as a sales associate for
GNC I am able to get first hand insight on every supplement that goes thru our inventory, and over the past year, the
Amino Acid category has been booming- and for good reason.
Aminos are proven effective and should be used by any and everyone regardless of goals and experience. They are anti-catabolic, they help reduce DOMS from strenuous training, and maintain proper Ph levels in the muscle cell. Of the 20 total
Aminos, The most important are
BCAA's (leucine, Isoleucine and Valine)for maintaining anabolic state,
L-Glutamine to repair damaged muscle fibers, and L-
Arginine for vasodilation- this product offers a great ratio of 10:1:1 (5000gr
BCAA/5000gr Glut) and they are in a micronized form for advanced absorbsion. Retail price is 39.99 but pick up during Gold Card plus BOGO 50% off and its a good deal... I tried the Watermelon and found that it was easily drinkable, and this can also be added to several other powder mixes- Example on heavy leg day I mixed 1 scoop of
Amino Decanate w/ 2 scoops C4
preworkout, and threw another scoop and half in with a large
Gatorade for fast carbs during 90 min workout(Carbs from G2 also helps
Drive the
BCAA's into the cell by
Boosting
IGF-1)Back squatted up to 535lb X5 and fronts up to 405X6- next day i was sore but still able to walk so its apparent that my
recovery was phenomanol.! overall i was very pleased w this product and recommend this and
Xtend as top
Amino products. There are 5 critical times one can use
BCAA products; Immed upon waking, Pre, During, Post-workout and before bed.. If strictly dieting can be used btwn small meals to avoid catabolism (muscle wasting) at any time. Thanks for reading!
