What do amino acids do?
Amino acids are molecules that are considered vital to maintaining life. They play an integral part in muscle building because they are literally the ‘building blocks’ of protein. There are two main classes of aminos, namely essential and non essential. The former are as their naming implies, vital to life, while the latter may not be literally vital but none the less play a part in general wellbeing. Apart from their integral role in protein, amino acids have a myriad of functions within the body related to maintaining cellular health and acting as a precursor to the synthesis of a great many vital hormones and nutrients. A few aminos play a strong role in muscle creation including Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, and Valine

Amino Acid supplements
Serious body builders can not afford to be unaware of the huge advances that have occurred in supplement technology. In a marketplace as competitive as the body building supplement scene, every advance in knowledge and delivery systems creates an advantage that is quickly seized upon. So it is not surprising that body builders often sound like bio-chemists when they talk about supplements and nutrition. But you don’t need a science degree to gain an understanding of just how important amino acids are.
Why take amino acid supplements?
Put very simply aminos are the building blocks of muscle. If you do not have enough, or you do not have the right proportions, anabolic growth may be compromised and you may even lose muscle. Today’s body builders are leaving no stones unturned din their quest for the optimal nutrition, designed to help add and retain muscle like never before.
What are some amino acid supplements?
There is a huge range of supplements on the market containing amino acids. Probably the single biggest advance in recent years is greater bio-availability, namely advances in how these supplements are ingested by the body and how quickly and completely nutrients are made available. Some key amino acid supplements include:
- Universal Animal Nitro is based upon the fact that of all the amino acids, not all are vital to muscle growth, so a select ratio has been chosen for this formulation to give you exactly the right blend of aminos essential to anabolic growth. This supplement is specially configured so that the aminos will bypass the liver, where all too often they are eliminated with urine, and can go straight into your system. Each serving contains Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, and Valine in a balance specially formulated for maximum muscle gains.
- Muscle Asylum Project Anabolic OD (Optimal Dose) is designed for those body builders who want a freakish physique as quickly as possible. A source of key amino acids and creatine this supplement has been designed around a delivery system that gets nutrients to hungry muscles faster than ever thought possible, and helps stimulate muscle cells like never before. It is a post workout formula that also helps with increasing strength. It contains a blend of the aminos required for muscle growth including Valine, Leucine and Isoleucine. It also contains a range of other nutrients designed to support general wellbeing. Overall it is said to be the most potent mix of hardcore body transforming nutrients presently available as a post workout supplement.
Clearly the power of amino acids to change your physique is something that no serious body builder or supplement company is prepared to overlook.
