What are amino acids?

Put simply – protein breaks down into amino acids and amino acids are building blocks for the body. Different protein sources have different amino acid profiles and different amino acids exert different effects on the body.

Branched chain amino acids consist of Leucine, Iso-leucine, Valine and are the amino acids most responsible for protein synthesis (preserving, repairing and building muscle).  We can easily obtain BCAA’s from food such as quality meats, eggs, and dairy products - these sources yield approx 18-25% BCAA. The protein in foods such as beans and nuts yield about 2-4% BCAA. BCAA’s are said to comprise approximately 25% of our muscle tissue and are also the only amino acids that directly enter muscle tissue without having to be first metabolized by the liver.

Branched chain amino's are a main ingredient in Young Living's workout/recovery supplement AminoWise. Sipping on a quality BCAA supplement such as Aminowise around your workout supplies your muscles with immediate support and fuel - without the body having to spend time or energy on digestion. These amino acids are immediately available to your body and muscles, which will prevent excess muscle break down and damage from intense workouts. BCAA’s are extremely low in calories (basically zero) making them especially useful for low calories diets or for those who practice Intermittent Fasting and typically workout in the morning on an empty stomach.

Ingesting BCAA’s around your workout has been shown in human studies to support and increase youthful, muscle building hormones such as testosterone and HGH, while also increasing muscle protein synthesis and reducing post workout muscle soreness!

In addition to BCAA’s, Aminowise also contains the amino acids: L-Citruline, L- Glutamine, B-Alanine, L-Arginine and L-Taurine which all have varying, unique benefits from further supporting our muscular system, fighting excess lactic acid buildup from exercise, providing antioxidant benefits, and increasing Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide dialates blood vessels thus lowering blood pressure and promoting better blood flow. Better blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients to our muscles, which will also contribute to faster recovery. The faster and better we recover, the quicker and harder we can workout again.

The problem with most amino acid supplements (and sport/workout supplements in general) is that the majority are loaded with artificial sweeteners, colors, dyes, fillers, binders, and sometimes excess caffeine and even dangerous/unproven stimulants. Not want you want in a health product!

Aminowise has a light, refreshing, natural flavor. If a supplement taste like cough syrup you probably won’t be too excited or consistent about taking it. We mix one scoop with 20oz of filtered water and start sipping on it before, and during our workout. If we are going to be performing a particularly hard workout, and or have not consumed much protein before that workout, we will take a second scoop.

What truly sets this supplement apart from other amino acid supplements is that it is flavored with Young Living’s lemon and lime essential oils along with Ningxia wolfberry powder - all of which posses antioxidant properties making it unlike anything else on the market! Vitamin E (another powerful antioxidant) has also been added in along with zinc. Zinc is a mineral many athletes are deficient in due to it being easily lost through sweat and this mineral is absolutely critical for proper immune system function and hormone production . An electrolyte blend has also been added in to support hydration.

Now let us be 100% real here, no natural supplement will alone burn pounds of fat or add slabs of muscle to your frame. Anyone who tells you differently is being dishonest, or just doesn’t know any better. You have got to put in the work and be consistent with a smart training program that focuses on constant progression (not just how much punishment and torture you can withstand).

What a supplement like Aminowise can do for you is support your muscles, hormones, energy, and overall recovery allowing you to push a little harder during your workout and recover a little quicker afterwards. These benefits can go a long way in regards to keeping you on track with your training program and allowing you to hopefully meet your fitness goals a littler quicker. But make no mistake, you still have to put in the work!

This is an amazing supplement and since we began supplementing with it, our recovery and overall performance in the gym has reached new levels! Put this on your next Essential Rewards order for reduced shipping rates and $$ back! It will be cheaper, cleaner and far superior to other amino acid workout type supplements on the market!

Thank you for reading!
