Looking for amino
acids
and ZMA
supplements? If you are
training hard and are
interested in lean muscle
gains, BCAA’s
are one of the
first things recommended to
add to your regimen. They aid
recovery, help fuel workouts,
help prevent protein
catabolism, and promote
protein sysnthesis.
* L-Carnitine - Found in
foods such as lamb, beef,
dairy, and avocados the body
creates it from lysine and
methionine it improves and
stimulates the heart's
function as well as converting
food into usable energy
* Taurine - Crucial to
muscles cells in that it
increases the size enabling
them to hold water, allowing
them to better utilize
protein. Bodybuilders also
like the fact that hydrated
muscles appear bigger
* L-Arginine - Muscles
need nitrogen to synthesize
protein and l-arginine helps
them to hold on to it. It also
boosts immunity and promotes a
healthy Thymus gland.
* L-Histidine - Important
for synthesizing healthy red
blood cells, it also helps
heal and repair muscles
* L-Lysine - Builds
muscles and speeds up healing
when injured. It also helps
the body maintain calcium
reserves and absorption. Food
sources are fish, dairy,
legume, and meat
* L-Tyrosine - Helps
minimize effects of strenuous
workouts including muscle and
mental fatigue. It can be
found in meat, seafood,
oatmeal, and wheat
* Glutamine - Metabolizes
protein and helps increase
cell size, making the muscle
tissue less likely to break
down. It's important for
digestive health and some
claim it can cure ulcers
* Leucine - One of the
three BCAAs it helps maintain
the correct blood sugar level,
heal stressed and overworked
muscles, and promote human
growth hormone production
* Isoleucine - Another
BCAA it also helps muscles
recover after a workout or
other stress. It's necessary
in the production of
hemoglobin and aids in forming
blood clots. It also regulates
blood sugar levels
* Valine - The third BCAA
helps maintain balanced
nitrogen levels, which is
important to growing lean
muscles. It also helps repair
damaged or overworked muscles.
Some believe it aids in
restoring brain function
damaged by drug and alcohol
abuse or neurological
diseases |
