Acid Reign: Blowout sale on Amino Acids will keep your muscles (and your wallet) from shrinking!

In the old days, it was hard knowing how much protein to take and when to take it, but fortunately the science of sports nutrition (and the generosity of Feel It Nutrition) is making it easier by the day.

Protein (in the form of amino acids) is the basic component of all living cells and provides your body with the materials it needs for muscle growth, repair, and maintenance.

Protein helps you build lean muscle by preventing muscle protein catabolism and stimulating muscle protein synthesis, the means by which resistance training makes muscles grow.

Yet knowing how much protein to consume on a daily basis is not as simple as it sounds -- and not everyone has the time or money to be wolfing down egg whites at the office or pounding a protein shake four times a day.

Enter Amino Acids.

The popularity of amino acid supplements has increased dramatically as of late. Packaged workout and recovery drinks that contain hydrolyzed (pre-digested) proteins and often some free-form amino acids can be found in most gyms. Also tubs of powdered or capsulated amino acids are being used by an increasing number of fighters. The good thing about these supplements is that they don't require digestion like food does.

The term free-form means that they are free of chemical bonds to other molecules and as such move quickly through the stomach, into the small intestines where they are very rapidly absorbed into the blood stream. When absorbed, amino acids are processed by the liver.

Star-divide

The liver can only process so many at one time, so by taking a dose of 3-4g of amino acids these will be rapidly absorbed and would exceed the liver's capacity which would result in the amino acids being directed to the tissues that would require them such as muscle that is recovering from your training. Resistance training generally stimulates both protein synthesis and protein degradation in exercised muscle fibers.

Muscle hypertrophy (growth) occurs when an increase in protein synthesis results in the body's normal state of protein synthesis and degradation. The normal hormonal environment (e.g, insulin and growth hormone levels) in the period following resistance training stimulates the muscle fibers anabolic processes while blunting muscle protein degradation.

Dietary modifications that increase amino acid transport into muscles raise energy availability or increase anabolic hormones should augment the training effects by increasing the rate of muscle anabolism and/or decreasing muscle catabolism. Either effect should create a positive body protein balance for improved muscular growth and strength.

why do they post performance enhancing type substances on tbis site? Nobody even posts, and I therefore realize nobody will see this, lol.
