OPTIMUM NUTRITION – ESSENTIAL AMINO ENERGY ELECTROLYTES Mix up ESSENTIAL AMIN.O. ENERGY™ ELECTROLYTES anytime you want a fruit flavored boost of energy with amino acids for muscle supports and electrolytes to help replace what’s lost through sweat. You can determine what’s appropriate for any situation, adding a 2-scoop serving to cold water for an afternoon pick-me-up or increasing the performance matrix to 4 or 6-scoops. WHAT’S IN IT? ELECTROLYTE BLEND – 440MG SODIUM CHLORIDE Sodium Chloride is an electrolyte that regulates the amount of water in your body. Sodium also plays a part in nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Sodium chloride is used to treat or prevent sodium loss caused by dehydration, excessive sweating, or other causes MAGNESIUM OXIDE Magnesium is used in just about everything your body does to effectively exercise and build muscle, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and energy production POTASSIUM CHLORIDE Potassium is an electrolyte necessary for nerves to relay messages for our muscles to move and contract. It helps our heart beat and influences the fluid balance in our bodies. Another key function of potassium is fluid management in the bloodstream and cells. Both sodium and potassium levels contribute to blood pressure, and the process of balancing fluid throughout the body is depended on having the right ratio of each electrolyte. Amino Blend – 5g Micronized Taurine Taurine improves endurance (even after a single use), but there are also improvements to focus and mental performance when using it.Taurine acts as an osmolyte to help drive water into the cells of your body, helping wherever it goes. Hydrating muscles provides a “cell volumizing pump“. Micronized L-Glutamine L-Glutamine accelerates muscle growth and aids in recovery by prevent DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) .Glutamine is also an energy source for intestinal and immune cells. It also helps maintain the barrier between the intestines and the rest of your body and aids with proper growth of intestinal cells. Micronized L-Arginine L-arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide that is known to improve blood flow, which in turn may aid the delivery of important nutrients to working muscles and assist with metabolic waste product removal. L-arginine has also been shown to increase growth hormone levels in the blood Micronized L-Leucine Leucine an essential amino acid. Of all the Branched Chain Amino Acids Leucine is the most abundant and most important. Research has shown that Leucine’s major role is as a protein synthesis regulator and if you add Leucine to a high protein meal you can increase protein synthesis by up to 40%. L-Leucine can be used in conjunction with meals that are already high in protein to help accelerate the recovery of muscles. Many athletes add extra Leucine to their diet to help reduce the breakdown of muscles during training and to reduce the soreness of muscles after training. CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine Beta Alanine is a strong lactic acid buffer, converting into beta-Carnosine it reduces lactic acid accumulation in your muscles during exercise, which leads to improved athletic performance and decreasing muscle fatigue. Micronized Citrulline Increases Nitric Oxide levels, which leads to increase in strength and endurance, through the increase in blood flow, glucose uptake and oxygen delivery to the muscles. It also produces positive effects in the muscle by stimulating protein synthesis and decreasing amino acid breakdown. Micronized L-Valine Valine promotes optimal nitrogen balance in the body which supports protein synthesis (Protein absorption) and muscle hypertrophy (muscle gain). Valine is also an incredibly efficient source of energy for your muscle tissue and this is why it’s considered one of the best workout support supplements to take during exercise. Micronized L-Tyrosine This compound crosses the blood-brain barrier to improve mental focus and is a staple in many nootropic supplements. As an amino acid it stimulates two of the most important neurotransmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine. It enhances working memory and executive function through chemical signalers in the prefrontal cortex. A quintessential limitless nootropic, it can increase focus, internalized motivation, boost inspiration of creative flow, and enhance a state of wellbeing through cortisol reduction. Micronized L-Histidine L-histidine to produce various enzymes, including gastrin, an enzyme which promotes healthy digestion and helps us actually absorb nutrients and minerals from the food we are so careful about eating. L-histidine also helps our bodies produce of histamine, which is very important for immune system health, heart health and a strong circulatory system. Histidine also helps the body maintain the optimal balance of important minerals, including zinc and iron. It actually binds with zinc and carries zinc to our cells where it is put to good use. Micronized L-Lysine Lysine is an essential amino acid therefore it must be obtained from the diet as the body cannot produce its own. It is an essential building block for all protein in the body and performs many useful functions in the body and has proved to be especially useful in treating herpes and cold sores. Lysine also increases the absorption of calcium so it may help to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Micronized L-Phenylalanine L-Phenylalanine plays a key role in the production of tyrosine, epinephrine and norepinephrine (important stress response molecules), and the happy hormone dopamine which can help you learn and form memories.L-Phenylalanine is important for building muscle and repairing soft tissue and improves skin pigmentation with UV exposure. Due to its link with signalling brain health, it could be useful for feelings of wellbeing and a healthy mindset. Micronized L-Threonine Threonine is an essential amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks the body uses to make proteins. The “essential” amino acids are those that cannot be made by the body and must be obtained from the diet. Threonine is changed in the body to a chemical called glycine. Glycine works in the brain to reduce constant and unwanted muscle contractions (spasticity). Threonine also is responsible for producing tooth enamel, collagen, and elastin in the skin, while aiding in fat metabolism in the liver. Micronized L-Methionine L-methionine is an essential sulfur-containing amino acid that is soluble in water. It is a powerful antioxidant, assists in the breakdown of fats, and helps inactivate free radicals. Because it is an essential amino acid, it must be supplied in the diet. Signs of L-Methionine deficiency include poor skin tone, hair loss and impaired elimination of toxins. Energy Blend – 160mg Caffeine (From Green Tea) Caffeine stimulates the release of the catecholamine’s Adrenaline and Noradrenaline, which provide mental energy, and has been linked to directly increasing both strength and endurance performance when consumed pre-workout. Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis)(Leaf)(Standardized For EGCG) Green Tea Extract is when it comes to fat loss and weight control. There are multiple valid studies which demonstrate it assists with fat mass, fat oxidation and lipid peroxidation as well as reductions in LDL. Green Tea Extract contains catechins which are a category of polyphenols. Being a powerful antioxidant will help curb free-radical damage after intense workouts Green Coffee Extract Naturally containing high levels of chlorogenic acid, a polyphenol antioxidant that researchers speculate may promote weight loss by reducing the absorption of fat and glucose in the gut, and lowering insulin levels to improve metabolic function Directions For Essential Amino. Energy: Mix two scoops of ESSENTIAL AMINO ENERGY in 10-12 oz of cold water. FOR AN AMINO ACID BOOST: Consume one or more servings first thing in the morning and/or between meals. FOR PRE-WORKOUT ENERGY: Take 1-3 servings 20-30 minutes before training. FOR POST-WORKOUT RECOVERY: Take 1-2 servings immediately after training. TIPS: ESSENTIAL AMINO ENERGY contains 50 mg of caffeine per scoop, so do not consume after 5:00 PM if you have difficulty sleeping. ESSENTIAL AMINO ENERGY also contains beta-Alanine and may cause a temporary tingling sensation on your skin. This is normal. With continued use, the intensity of the sensation will decrease or disappear. Also, some people may have a sensitive stomach and will not tolerate green tea extract well on an empty stomach. If this is you, be sure to take with meals. *Do not exeed more than 5 servings per day.
