Frequently Asked Questions  

What are EAAs?

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are amino acids that the body can’t produce enough of on its own, including leucine, isoleucine, valine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan. EAAs support muscle growth and recovery.

What does “bioavailable” mean?

Bioavailability is the measure of the amount of a nutrient used by the body on a cellular level after ingestion.

First of its kind recovery solution that preserves muscle in a fasted state or calorie deficit + promotes muscle growth in a calorie surplus. Di-Leucine – A potent di-peptide form of leucine that activates protein synthesis 60% more effectively than standard leucine. HMB – A powerful leucine metabolite that helps shield muscle from breakdown in a catabolic state. EAAs – A complete blend of essential amino acids to fuel muscle repair, recovery, and growth.
