ENERGY

Insufficient protein/peptides in the diet may prevent the body from producing adequate levels of peptide hormones and structural proteins to sustain normal, and therefore optimal bodily functions.

Protein and peptides are involved in countless processes that account for energy development, as they:

✓ Regulate metabolism
✓ Aid in digestion
✓ Provide the building blocks for ALL bodily processes
✓ Are the “fuel” for cells

Creatine is a natural compound that is a combination of the three amino acids; arginine, glycine, and methionine and assists in the production of energy, and the building of muscle. Arginine and methionine does not survive the pasteurization that is involved in the digestion of all whey proteins and Casein products. A deficiency of these two amino acids will result in low creatine production.

Three amino acids; leucine, isoleucine and valine form the category known as BCAAs. These aminos are critical for muscle growth and important for energy production. The BCAAs, unlike most other amino acids, are used directly by the muscles for fuel during exercise.

After workouts, the muscles rely mostly on fat for energy, which allows the BCAAs to be used for muscle growth. BCAAs also blunt fatigue during workouts by keeping the central nervous system fired up.

Keep in mind

Not only the BCAA’s (leucine, iso-leucine, valine) are important, 18 out of the 22 amino acids are needed for sustainable muscle build-up, maintenance and endurance. All amino acids play their role. If one is missing the whole process stops. A lack of one or more amino acids can mean less or no muscle build-up or regeneration of muscles mass, less endurance and strength, hampered recovery, immunity, concentration and stress resistance etc

Further information

For amino acids to work they have to be digested fully. Digestion means that the protein in food have to be broken down to small amino acids chains called peptides. Healthy people can only transfer mono peptides, bipeptides and tripeptides into the blood. Those amino acids that are too long, or are mutated by heat, sun, chemicals and/or fluids cannot be absorbed into the blood. It is simple: if a good amino acid complex does not give you energy, you might want to look for another product.

Amino acids at work for your energy level

Glutamine (Non-essential Amino Acid)

has shown promise in the treatment of fatigue
is important along with glucose in supplying the brain with energy
increases mental alertness
to nutritionally boost the nervous system
supports concentration and mental performance under conditions of mental or physical exertion

Proline (Non-essential Amino Acid)

helps in the strengthening of the heart muscle

Lysine (Essential Amino Acid)

a deficiency could result in fatigue, lack of concentration, irritability, bloodshot eyes and anaemia

Aspartic Acid (Non-essential Amino Acid)

increases stamina and is good for chronic fatigue

Taurine (Non-essential Amino Acid)

strengthens the heart muscle
helps physical and mental performance in cases of temporary stress
helps to delay the onset of fatigue
enhances endurance and helps to maintain peak effort during times of high physical demand
is important for the energy metabolism – the transformation of food into energy

Tyrosine (Non-essential Amino Acid)

acts as a mood elevator
limits mental fatigue during exposure to environmentally adverse conditions
has been used to help chronic fatigue
clinical studies indicate that Tyrosine can be helpful in reducing the fatigue of PMS sufferers
helps maintain physical and mental concentration in cases of temporary stress
