Ditch the Poor Performance & Sluggish Recovery Today.

As we age, we need more EAA's while our absorption of them reduces. Essential Amino Acids are the building blocks of all protein our scientific blend can help improve recovery, support lean mass & boost athletic performance.

The key to building & supporting lean mass

Muscle protein synthesis is vital for rebuilding and strengthening muscle fibers, a key part of the body's ongoing protein turnover process. This process involves the continuous breakdown and reconstruction of muscle proteins. 

When the rate of muscle protein synthesis surpasses protein breakdown, muscle growth occurs. Essential amino acids are crucial in this equation—they are the building blocks that fuel the creation of new proteins. 

Effective muscle protein synthesis, particularly after exercise or as we age, requires a reliable supply of these essential nutrients, highlighting the importance of adequate dietary intake or supplementation.

How & Why EAA Supplementation works.

Leucine, a critical player in the muscle-building process, significantly enhances the body's ability to perform muscle protein synthesis. EAAs with a higher ratio of leucine are specifically formulated to maximize this process, ensuring that your muscles have the best support for repair and growth after every workout. The presence of leucine accelerates the repair and building of muscle fibers, making it a key nutrient for maintaining muscle strength and function. Research on leucine's effects

The distinct advantage of EAAs lies in their "free-form" state, which does not require digestion. This means they can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream immediately after ingestion, providing a rapid supply of the essential nutrients needed for muscle repair and growth. This quick absorption is crucial for initiating the recovery process right when your body needs it the most, ensuring that no time is wasted in beginning the muscle repair process.

As digestion and nutrient absorption can become less efficient with age, older adults need a more direct and less taxing means of receiving these vital nutrients. EAAs fulfill this need perfectly, providing older individuals with a reliable, digestion-free source of essential amino acids. This is especially crucial for combating age-related muscle loss, known as sarcopenia, and maintaining muscle mass and strength, essential for an active and independent life. EAAs offer a powerful tool for enhancing muscular health and athletic performance, especially in older adults who benefit most from their efficient and direct nutritional support. They stand out as a superior choice compared to other protein sources, offering immediate benefits that are crucial for maintaining vitality and physical performance as we age.

Dr. Robert Wolfe has conducted extensive research in this area, demonstrating that the ingestion of free-form EAAs leads to a more immediate and efficient synthesis of muscle protein than consuming the same amino acids through dietary protein. This is because EAAs in supplement form do not require the breakdown and extraction processes that whole food sources do. We will display a graph based on Dr. Wolfe's study, illustrating how free-form EAAs achieve higher muscle protein synthesis rates compared to EAAs derived from dietary proteins, emphasizing their direct impact and efficiency.

EAA's or essential amino acids, are the amino acids that we can only get from diet for supplementation. There are nine essential aminos, which are crucial for most bodily functions. When taken in a concentrated supplement dose, they assist the body in improving exercise recovery and performance. 

All our products are manufactured in South Africa using third-party world class labs & manufacturing facilities. 

Simply add 1-2 scoops with at least 500 mls of cold water and shake/mix. Add ice for freshness.

AA's are a natural product and very safe. Studies show that taking anymore than 15g (3 servings) will lead to no additional benefits (unless there are unique circumstances). Studies have also shown that a human can consume around 100g of EAA's before becoming unsafe. 

Whey protein in classed as an intact protein, as it contains none essential amino acids and other nutrients such as fat and lactose. While whey protein is a great source of extra protein in a diet, studies have shown that EAA's are much better for stimulating Muscle Protein Synthesis due to their fast & easy absorption into the body. 

Unlike Whey protein, EAA's require little to no digestion and absorb quickly. This means they won't cause any gut discomfort. Those who experience issues with whey protein may find EAA's very beneficial as a recovery method.

EAA's contain all nine essential amino acids, where as BCAA's contain only three - Leucine Valine & Isoleucine. EAA's also contain these, and research has shown that all nine essential amino acids are consumed together to receive the full exercise benefits. 

We ship from Durban. We normally require 1 day to process the order, from there you can expect your order to be delivered between 1-4 days later depending on where you are in the country.
