REASON 1 – Muscle

We provide 99% absorption

The averrage utilisation rate for protein is 27% (AAU)

The secret to staying young
and powerfull

We provide all the building blocks of the human body

They cross the blood-brain barrier and the heart barrier

They are so perfect and small that are accepted directly in the brain and in the heart to repair damaged cells

1. Muscle growth

1. Muscle Growth, Protein Synthesis, Body Growth

L-Leucine (39%) in the formula – stimulates muscle protein synthesis, being directly involved in the functions of anabolism or body growth and development[1].

REASON 2 – DNA matrix

2. DNA structure and repair

L-Lysine – Basic DNA structure; If not in sufficient quantities can cause vitamin B3 deficiency (also known as Niacin), and leads to a very low rate of connective tissue repair. It can also contribute to the release of growth hormone, which significantly helps to restore tissues[2].

REASON 3 – Sugar regulation

3. Sugar regulation

3. Regulate sugar and energy

L-Isoleucine – is an important regulator of blood sugar, muscle repair and energy regulation[3].
The same important functions are sustained by L-Leucine.

REASON 4 – Regeneration

4. Regeneration

4. Regeneration and repair – Optimal Nitrogen levels

L-Valine – is both an EAA and a BCAA. It is needed for muscle, tissue repair and maintaining an optimal level of nitrogen in the body. Along with leucine and isoleucine, it helps protect muscle tissue[4].

REASON 5 – Immunity

5. Immunity

5. IMMUNITY

L-Threonine – is important for the production of antibodies, for the immune system and can be converted to glycine and serine. It also contributes to the synthesis of collagen, elastin and tooth enamel and helps in liver metabolism[5].

REASON 6 – Neurons

6. Neurons

6. Neurons, neurotransmitters and hormones

L-Phenylalanine – stimulates the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters and hormones such as dopamine and norepinephrine, substances necessary for the optimal activity of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. They are basically the two neurotransmitters that make us “feel good” and get over an intense pain or an unpleasant event more easily[6].

REASON 7 – Antioxidants

7. Antioxidants and detoxification

L-Methionine – provides the body with sulfur – sulfur is very important in the synthesis of glutathione – the most powerful antioxidant in the body, the synthesis of cysteine, taurine, as well as other compounds necessary for optimal functioning, growth and regeneration, detoxification[7].

LEARN MORE

REASON 8 – Anti-inflammatory

8. Anti-inflammatory and health

L-Histidine – previously considered non-essential for adults, histidine is involved in important mechanisms involving the immune, inflammatory and digestive systems. It is a precursor for a powerful antioxidant and for an effective UV light protector[8].

LEARN MORE

REASON 9 – Sleep

9. Sleep, recovery and brain functions

L-Tryptophan – helps release basic neurotransmitters, hormones for well-being and sleep. Examples include serotonin (the “hormone of happiness”) and melatonin (the hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle)[9].
