Maximizes lean muscle tissue
Exercise, aging, and illness all have one thing in common: they increase the bodys demand for essential and non-essential amino acids. Amino EDGE is a protein blend that features a superior amino acid profile to help preserve and maximize lean muscle tissue, maintain immunity and offset the natural decline in lean body mass that occurs with age. The amino acid profile closely matches that of egg protein and offers increased levels of leucine and glutamine for muscle protection and tissue repair.
While the muscles contain the richest storage of amino acids in the body, amino acids are also used prominently in brain metabolism, neurotransmission, gastrointestinal health, immune function and cardiovascular health. Amino acids can also contribute to energy production through their conversion into glucose via gluconeogenesis.
Amino acids can be considered essential, non-essential or conditionally essential given the body’s ability to synthesize what it needs for metabolic maintenance. While hundreds of different amino acids exist in nature, there are only 20 main amino acids used for protein biosynthesis as directed by genetic coding; depending on the organism, certain amino acids can be synthesized and others (termed essential) must be derived from the diet. These amino acids are required daily due to the body’s relatively low storage capacity.
Dietary proteins are often referred to as either complete or incomplete; a complete protein contains at least all 9 essential amino acids while incomplete food proteins do not. Animal-based foodstuffs are typically considered complete proteins (meat, poultry, fish, milk and eggs) while plant foodstuffs (on an individual basis) are considered incomplete proteins. The one exception to this is soy, which contains all 9 essential amino acids. Otherwise, plant-based foodstuffs can be combined to form complete proteins typically by combining grains, legumes or nuts/seeds in certain order.
Undenatured whey protein in Amino EDGE contains bioactive immunoglobulins and helps induce the production of glutathione. Amino EDGE has a mild flavor, mixes easily and contains no sugars or artificial sweeteners.
Dosage:
Mix 2 level scoops of Amino Edge in 8 oz. of cold water or other beverage and mix well. Use 1 to 3 servings per day.
