Current scientific literature classifies the damage of skeletal muscle in two stages called primary and secondary damage. The primary damage can be subdivided into two possible mechanisms: metabolic and mechanical. This damage arises because intense anaerobic (lacking oxygen) weight training or high intensity endurance training drains the fuel sources and produces waste which needs to be cleared in order for the muscles to recover and repair themselves.
Amino Shock…. A Highly Efficient and Economical source of Leucine, Valine, and Isoleucine in a dosing level that optimizes and insures that your body will actually incorporate these amino acids without waste or inefficiency.
Loaded with l-glutamine
Many athletes believe that more is better, but when it comes to the amino acids, it is the ratios and levels that increase the efficiency and recovery cycle after training. The key is the window of opportunity that occurs immediately after exercise, when the muscle is especially receptive to nutrients and the blood flow to the exercised muscles remains high. Prolonged exercise and periods of heavy training are associated with a decrease in the glutamine concentration.
Fortified with SAA’s (Silk Amino Acids) and Citrulline malate.
A more complete amino acid pool.
The main components in silk are two types of proteins called Fibroin and Sericin. Out of these, Sericin is what is being used to provide these SAA’s. It is a protein that is comprised of 18-19 different amino acids. Of these, only five of these are actually used to make what is known to the sports nutrition community as SAA’s. The specific amino acids are: Alanine, Glycine, Serine, Valine, and Threonine. Increases in amino acid transport are greater after exercise than at rest. Increases in muscle protein synthesis are also greater after exercise.
It is well established that improving recovery from muscle fatigue after exercise thereby contributing to the restoration of muscle function is a beneficial physiological effect.
