Amino acids are essential for bodybuilders
Amino acids play a key role in the bodybuilders' diet, supporting both anabolic and anti-catabolic processes. First, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) such as leucine, isoleucine and valine are important in the synthesis of muscle proteins, which leads to muscle mass gain. Leucine especially activates the mTOR pathway, crucial for muscle growth.
Secondly, exogenous amino acids (EAA) provide essential ingredients for muscle recovery after intense workouts, reducing recovery time and reducing the feeling of fatigue. Additionally, the use of amino acids can help reduce muscle catabolism, which is especially important during periods of calorie reduction, where maintaining muscle mass is a priority.
Finally, regular consumption of amino acids can improve physical performance by increasing energy levels and improving endurance, allowing for longer and more effective training sessions.
The HI-TECH Pharmaceuticals Off The Chain Aminos product includes:
Amino Blend - 5 g:
L-glutamine - the most commonly found amino acid in the body, which has a number of very important functions: it influences the process of glycogen replenishment by increasing the rate of its synthesis in the liver, as well as by direct conversion to glucose, it positively influences the rate of protein synthesis and reduces its breakdown, it strengthens the immune system and counteracts diseases that could hinder training, it plays an important role in the transamination process (it enables the synthesis of new amino acids), it is converted into glutamic acid which is a source of energy for nerve tissue, and it has a number of other functions that are important, but less important from our point of view.
L-Leucine - influences skeletal muscle synthesis in several ways: it increases the secretion of insulin, a powerful anabolic agent present in our body, influences the activity of protein kinase S6, accelerates the phosphorylation of eIf4E binding protein and affects the degree of association between (eIF) 4E and eIF4G proteins. All of this, despite the complicated wording and nomenclature, boils down to a very simple claim - Leucine increases the degree, and speed, of protein utilisation for muscle building.
L-Isoleucine - providing large amounts of Leucine reduces levels of the other two amino acids, Isoleucine and Valine, which is why it is so important to use all three compounds together. In addition, Isoleucine is classed as a glucogenic amino acid, i.e. one that the body can easily and quickly convert into the energy it needs to function. This means that we will not only be able to train longer and more intensively, but also recover more quickly.
L-Valine - owes its presence in this list not only to the previously mentioned need to administer all three BCAA amino acids together, but also to its effect on limiting fatigue in the central nervous system. Furthermore, as with the other two amino acids, it is easily converted into energy for working muscles and thus saves glycogen stores stored in the liver.
Taurine - in the brain, it shows the ability to activate GABA receptors, so it can reduce some of the unwanted side effects from taking stimulants. Influences nervous system health, increases glial cell metabolism. Enhances fat emulsification, increases insulin sensitivity, may improve the fight against oxygen free radicals, and enhances the strength of heart contraction.
Citrulline malate - is a precursor of arginine, takes part in the process of muscle contraction and participates in the formation of nitric oxide - a compound responsible for, among other things: dilating blood vessels and thus facilitating the transport of other compounds to and from muscles. Citrulline gives the effect of a muscle pump, which we can take advantage of by using amino acids before training.
Tyrosine - is an amino acid that is directly involved in the synthesis of the adrenal cortex hormones dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. These neurotransmitters have an activating effect on adrenergic receptors, thus providing strong stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. This effect allows an increase in motivation, alertness, concentration and also induces changes in metabolism that provide an increase in energy levels (e.g. increased blood sugar).
L-Arginine - among the best-known properties of arginine is the synthesis of nitric oxide - a substance that dilates blood vessels. Thus, arginine contributes to a more efficient and faster transport of nutrients and oxygen to working cells, as well as the removal of toxic metabolic compounds that inhibit metabolic processes.
L-Histidine - Creates the conditions that allow the construction of the aforementioned macromolecules, especially enzymes and haemoglobin. As a component of haemoglobin, it is involved in the transport of oxygen and is thus responsible for the oxygenation of the entire body. Being the starting compound for the production of histamine, it promotes the relaxation of blood vessels, improving blood flow in the circulatory system. By enabling the synthesis of myoglobin, it participates in the storage of oxygen in striated muscles. By undergoing transformation to histamine, it influences the contractility of muscle tissue. As a component of the antioxidant peptides carnosine and anserine, it reduces the magnitude of oxidative stress, limits the extent of inflammation and promotes the maintenance of optimal pH, mainly in muscles.
L-Lysine - belongs to the EAA group of amino acids, which is why it is necessary to supply it to the body from outside. Lysine plays a significant role in protein metabolism. It will support the rate of regeneration as well as promote the building of muscle mass. Lysine also influences the production of endogenous l-carnitine, which contributes to supporting the acquisition of energy from fats.
L-Phenylalanine - an often underestimated component of proteins with a wide range of applications both in the context of body shape development and anabolic processes, as well as improving focus, coordination or muscle sensation. An adequate dose of this compound contributes significantly to a more efficient functioning of the nervous system. Phenylalanine will affect our mood, sustaining a better sense of well-being, which allows for better training.
L-Threonine - is one of the essential amino acids, and its action is focused around the correct function of the nervous system. Among other things, threonine will influence the correct transmission of nerve impulses, or be responsible for good mood and well-being. Threonine is also known for its supportive effects on the digestive and immune systems.
L-Methionine - is an essential component for the synthesis of glutathione, one of the most important compounds in the context of protecting the body from free radicals and toxins. It appears that taking methionine at the same time as taking paracetamol (or other drugs in this group) may have a protective effect on the liver and kidneys by preventing their damage. It is sometimes used in cases of poisoning with hepatotoxic drugs, alcohol and ammonia. Supports the natural regeneration processes of connective tissue, skin, hair and nails. Often used to alleviate the symptoms of acne.
Energy Blend - 160 mg:
Caffeine - is a stimulant that maintains nervous system activity. Caffeine ensures that you do not run out of energy. Caffeine eliminates fatigue and tiredness and allows you to perform a much more intense workout. What is more, it has a thermogenic effect and supports muscle endurance.
Green Tea extracts - a source of polyphenols used as a natural form of weight loss support. They promote lipolysis, facilitating fat reduction, and may also increase metabolic rate. In addition, green tea extract is recommended during weight loss due to its antioxidant potential. Intensive training supported by a low-calorie diet is an important factor in generating oxidative stress. Reducing free radicals promotes proper regenerative processes, prevents the development of cancer and delays the ageing process.
In summary, HI-TECH Pharmaceuticals Off The Chain Aminos has a comprehensive action, which inhibits catabolism, thus protecting our hard-worked muscle fibres, accelerating regeneration, allowing us to record progress even during the hardest phases of resistance training. In addition, the addition of Methylhexanamine HCL supported with Green Tea extract perfectly stimulates and allows you to feel an incredible kick of motivation and get rid of unnecessary kilograms.
