What does Amino Energy do for you?

Amino acids are often referred to as the 'building blocks of proteins, and they play many critical roles in your body. They're vital for the building of proteins and the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters.

Optimum Nutrition Essential Amino Energy is an excellent supplement for anyone wanting to reap the benefits of having a high amino acid level. Amino acids help promote lean muscle growth, increase endurance, prevent muscle damage and reduce fatigue and muscle soreness.

BCAASs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids), especially leucine, help regulate and improve muscle protein synthesis for growth and repair. Endurance athletes often work out in fasted states, which can increase the risk of your body breaking down your muscles for fuel. Taking an amino acid supplement before a workout can help prevent this damage by jumpstarting muscle protein synthesis for muscle repair.

Is Amino Energy a pre-workout?

Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy provides the great benefits of amino acids and provides a significant energy boost before workouts. Simply changing the servings and dosage can take this great supplement from a hydrating muscle recovery drink to a fantastic energy booster to help you perform your exercise harder, without many of the traditional side-effects of pre-workouts shaking or varied sleep patterns.

The green energy matrix of the green tea extract and caffeine from the green coffee in the formula makes Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy a great alternative to other pre-workout products, giving you either an afternoon pick-me-up or a much-needed energy boost before long-form exercise. Simply using multiple scoops can take you from mild to intense energy support.

Is Amino Energy good for weight loss?

Amino acids, especially BCAAs, have been shown to help athletes burn more body fat. Amino acids promote muscle building, and muscle tissue uses more energy than fat tissue. As you build up muscle, your metabolism improves with it, and you burn more calories.

The energy boost that Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy gives to you before a workout also allows you to exercise for longer and therefore burn more calories in the gym or on the track.

Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy is also sugar-free, so it is an excellent alternative to coffee or tea, where one may consume extra calories in the form of milk or cream.

Can you take Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy every day?

Amino acid supplements are incredibly safe to use, and many athletes and bodybuilders use them daily. Like all supplements, there are potential dangers if these products are abused. A few groups of people should use these kinds of supplements with caution, such as those with kidney or liver problems.

The amount of amino acids you should take daily largely depends on your health and fitness goals, as well as your usual diet. Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy can be taken daily as a great source of nutrition and hydration or as an effective pre-workout; plus, at only ten calories per serving, it won't affect the rest of your daily intake needs or compete with foods or other supplements.

Flavours like Peach Lemonade, Fruit Fusion and Blue Raspberry help keep your supplement routine varied and tasty every day!
