They fuel muscle gain and other physiological functions, including enzyme production, hormone regulation, cognitive ability, neurotransmitter balance, metabolism, and energy production. As we age, we lose muscle mass, which can cause other health issues, so it is important to support the growth of lean muscle mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmino acid cofactors are necessary for energy production in the citric acid (Krebs) cycle within the mitochondria of cells. It’s the process that converts the nutrients from food into energy to fuel cellular activity that powers everything you do – from moving muscles to thinking.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOf the 20 amino acids that make up protein, nine are classified as essential amino acids (EAAs), those the body cannot produce itself. Therefore, they must be consumed through diet and supplementation to support the body’s internal production of energy.  Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) are EAAs that must be consumed daily – these are leucine, isoleucine and valine – and are needed for muscle building, muscle strength, exercise recovery and energy during exercise.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEAAs benefit the body in multiple ways: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor pre \u0026amp; post-workout muscle recovery, reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding lean muscle mass and supporting strength gains  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreasing cellular energy production and supporting connective tissue strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting healthy blood sugar balance for healthy metabolic and cardiovascular function \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWho can benefit from amino acid supplementation?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s not just athletes, weekend warriors or gym-goers who benefit from amino acid supplementation for its post-workout benefits. Because amino acids are a fundamental building block for all protein-based tissue throughout the body (including muscle, skin, hair \u0026amp; various enzymes), amino acid supplementation is helpful for everyone!
