Amino acids have become a major part of athletes' supplementation, especially among bodybuilders. Amino acids are needed to maintain and repair muscles, tendons, skin, ligaments, organs, etc. They also aid in the production of hormones, neurotransmitters, and enzymes that play a role in various bodily functions.

Eating highly nutritious, high protein meals is the most familiar way to get amino acids into the diet. Even some vegetables and legumes can offer high levels of most amino acids. However, for serious athletes and those on the run, protein supplements and pure free-form amino acids provide a convenient and effective way to supplement dietary needs. Ultimate Nutrition amino BOLIC is a free-form amino acid complex that supplies several of the amino acids most needed by the body, in easy to swallow (and easy to take along to the gym) caplets. The benefits of using free-form amino acids are such that because they're small molecules, they are much easier to digest and absorb while exercising and they don't cause bloating or gas.

With amino BOLIC you get:
* Increased protein synthesis and recovery rate
* Over 6000mg of leucine per serving to blast your body into an anabolic state
* Reduced muscle breakdown resulting from exercise
* Reduced fatigue and muscle soreness after workout
* NO STIMULANTS!

As athletes know, physical activity and bodybuilding have distinct effects on protein metabolism. Amino acid supplements can increase muscular development, particularly when involved with heavy resistance training. Research on amino acid supplements shows that athletes achieve muscular strength much quicker and experience less physical exhaustion while taking amino acid supplements or amino acid rich foods. Amino acid supplements can benefit all athletes as well as anyone wanting to ensure a balanced diet.

amino BOLIC includes BCAAs that act as a fuel source for skeletal muscle during times of trauma or stress and help prevent catabolism, all the while encouraging protein synthesis. The BCAAs are especially important to athletes because they are metabolized in the muscle rather than the liver. This means that they can be used either to build new proteins or be burned as fuel to create energy. Supplementing with BCAAs has been shown to result in measurable gains in both muscle strength and size. Taken before a workout BCAAs can improve performance and delay the onset of fatigue. They also operate as anabolic agents, allowing the body to burn fat and not muscle.

From the stressed to the mentally fatigued, bodybuilders to endurance athletes, and for anyone who may not be getting a balanced diet in amino acids, amino BOLIC can offer the powerful nutrition tool you need.
