EAA plus Endurance Factors 500g

BCAA+Endurance Factors Contain BCAA's, EAA's, and Endurance Factors (Beta Alanine & Citrulline Malate)

What are EAA's?

EAA stands for Essential Amino Acids.  Protein is made up of 18 Amino Acids; 8 Essential (you must consume them), and 10 Non-Essential (your body can create them).  3 of th 8 Essential Amino Acids are known as BCAA's - Branch Chain Amino Acids.

What is Beta Alanine and Citrulline Malate?

Both Beta Alanine and Citrulline Malate can increase your strength and endurance, and buffer fatigue. Specifically, supplementing with Beta Alanine increases intramuscular carnosine concentrations which results in increased muscular strength and endurance, and delays fatigue.  Citrulline Malate increases Nitric Oxide production, reduces lactic acid and ammonia, and increases ATP and Phosphocreatine recovery. This means more reps in the gym, longer distances in the pool, and quicker lap times on the track.

Why use EAA's if they are already in foods and protein shakes?

The advantage of using EAA's is their perfect bioavailability.  Within 10 minutes of ingesting a free-form EAA drink the aminos are in circulation around the body and able to start repairing and building muscle tissue.

Even though certain foods may be high in amino acids, the bioavailability of those amino acids may be poor.  Factors that can diminish bioavailability of aminos in food include; cooking (heat can damage or destroy aminos), the physical nature of the food and how well it can be digested, and the age and status of the digestive system of the individual on how well they can utilize the nutrients.

Secondly, the ratio of Essential Amino Acids : Non-Essential Amino acids is vital.  Although foods may contain a broad range of amino acids, if they are low in EAA's and specifically low in BCAA's, their usefulness in the body for athletic purposes is severely limited.  Fitness Central EAA+ has been specifically formulated to be high in BCAA's which are the limiting factor in protein synthesis.  By being high in BCAA's and the other 5 EAA's, you have a perfect recovery and muscle building kickstarter.

How Can EAA+ benefit the Athlete?

• Increase Strength
• Increase Endurance
