Ajinomoto Amino Vital Pro Canister, 20 Servings, Grape

Recommended for longer and higher intensity workouts or competitions requiring the replenishment of electrolytes and additional amino acid and carbohydrate energy. Rich in BCAAs as well as arginine, Amino Vital delivers the power your muscles need for sustained exertion. Studies also show that this unique combination of amino acids results in lower creatine kinase (CK-MM) levels in the bloodstream, which can be a symptom of muscle damage and exhaustion. Requiring no digestion, Amino Vital passes from the stomach into the intestines and from there to the rest of your body as quickly as possible. In addition, the osmotic pressure of Amino Vital is designed to allow a fast but steady rate of absorption, so more fluid reaches your body tissues when you need it most. Amino Vital also encourages fat burning by helping your muscles perform at peak efficiency and thus burn more fat calories. Over the long term, an increased muscle-to-fat ratio results in a higher metabolism, making it much easier to take - and keep - weight off.

A plentiful supply of BCAAs supports the psychological effect of "focus" during exercise. When your body is low on BCAAs, there's a relative increase in production of the potent brain neurotransmitter serotonin, which makes you feel sleepy and unfocused. Amino Vital ensures optimum levels of BCAAs, so serotonin won't get in the way of workout. Amino Vital provides the nutrients - BCAAs, and arginine - your muscles need to rebuild themselves faster with less soreness. Arginine also helps remove toxins that accumulate during muscle exertion.
