MONSTER AMINO
Amino acids are the basic building blocks of protein.
You work hard, really hard. Work means lifting, running, cycling and swimming until your muscles can’t give any more. You put a lot of thought into planning your workouts and structuring your training and schedule to achieve maximum performance. Naturally your nutrition follows the same logic. But does that nutrition include your recovery food?
If you have been lax on optimizing your recovery, then you are really missing out on what your body can accomplish. Monster Amino helps to put back everything you’ve demanded from your body and more.
Monster-sized Demands
If you’ve just put your body through a grueling lifting session, speed workout or time trial, then you want to reap the benefits of all that hard work. Before you can enjoy that on race day, you need to make sure that your recovery is optimized. A complete recovery includes replenishing all the nutrients that you lost during your workout. Monster Amino can help you get to the place you deserve to be after all your hard work.
Amino Acids That Get You Going
Amino acids are the basic building blocks of protein. Since every single cell in your body requires protein that can give you an idea of how important amino acids are to your body. Our body doesn’t actually use protein directly; it is broken down into the chains of amino acids and then processed to be functional for your body.
There are 22 amino acids, eight of which are ‘essential’ meaning your body does not make them and they must come from diet alone. Monster Amino has tons of branched chain amino acids, which are part of the ‘essential’ group that your body cannot produce including: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Leucine alone has been recognized as being vital to the protein synthesis production. Since these amino acids are metabolized the in the muscle rather than the liver, you will have these at your immediate disposal for muscle growth and repair. Several studies have shown the increase in exercise results from those who use amino acids due to increased aerobic and anaerobic capabilities. The amino acids in Monster Amino are micronized, meaning they are even easier for your body to process and to deliver fast and optimal fuel for muscle recovery. Monster Amino also increases nitrogen retention, which is key in building amino acids within your body.
The combination of Maize starch and long chain glucose polymers (or maltodextrin) makes up the 30 grams of complex carbohydrates that Monster Amino provides. These complex carbohydrates help provide rapid amino acid uptake, muscle hydration and glycogen replacement; all of which serves to build and repair your muscles faster. The 100mg of Carbogen help you break down and digest the complex carbohydrates even faster, protecting the muscle glycogen with this more immediate action.
Monster Amino also contains 210 mg of potassium and 110 mg of sodium. Potassium plays a vital role in nerve function, maintaining smooth muscle contraction and blood pressure. Sodium is a nutrient that athletes lose while sweating during intense exercise. Having an improper balance of sodium in the blood can lead to fatigue, cramping and other problems. Potassium and sodium work in conjunction with each other to maintain smooth muscle contraction.
Monster Amino also contains vitamin B6. B6 is essential to getting oxygen to different parts of your body, enabling the facilitation of transmission reactions. This means that b6 helps to drive muscle repair and BCAA utilization at the most basic cellular level.
Build Up the Muscle You've Broken Down
