BEYOND PROTEIN SHAKES...WITHOUT THE EXCESS CALORIES
Muscle is made of protein, and amino acids are the building blocks used to
make that muscle protein. Most of these amino acids can be created by your body
as needed except for the essential amino acids (EAA's). These you need to get
from protein-rich foods in your diet, such as meat, fish, eggs, soy, dairy products
or your protein shakes. Problem is all of these may have an excess amount of
calories associated with them depending on how much you eat. Not with AMINO
SHOOTER - AMINO SHOOTER is just pure free-form essential amino acids that you
mix in water and drink giving you the anabolic potential found in a protein
shake, but with far less calories per gram.
Use Amino Shooter to:
- Increase Protein Synthesis and Recovery Rate!
- Reduce Muscle Breakdown resulting from exercise!
- Increase Caloric Efficiency for more muscle with less fat!
- Reduce Fatigue and Soreness!
AMINO SHOOTER is an entirely new approach to the formulation and use of tried
and true amino acids. It is based on the latest research into previously unknown
actions of the Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s). Amino acids make up almost
the entire structure of your body’s muscle and tissues (except for fats).
Individual amino acid supplements have been around for thirty years, yet this
supplement could not have been designed even five years ago - The knowledge
of how to combine certain amino acids to yield the benefits shown by these recent
studies did not yet exist. What are those newly discovered benefits?
1. Muscle growth is directly proportional to the level of EAA’s in your
blood - consume more EAA’s, grow more muscle!
2. Reduce the amount of muscle breakdown that results from training - though
scientists recently realized that the largest amount of muscle breakdown occurs
3 - 4 hours after training - not during training, as was previously thought,.
EAA’s play an important role in minimizing the effect of post-workout
exercise induced catabolism (a.k.a. exercise induced catabolism).
3. A dramatic improvement in “caloric efficiency” when compared
to common protein drinks - calorie for calorie you get more of what it takes
to grow and recover with no unnecessary calories that can lead to fat!
4. A significant reduction in fatigue during training and soreness during recovery
- besides allowing you to train harder, this helps you control cortisol, a powerful
inhibitor of muscle growth.
Let’s look at each of these actions in detail:
1. Muscle Growth is Directly Proportional to the Level of Essential Amino Acids
in your Blood Stream!
Your body is made up of about 22 amino acids. Most of these can be created by
the body as needed, except for the nine Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s)
which you must receive directly from the food you eat. A recent group of studies
created excitement among researchers when they showed that muscle growth (muscle
protein synthesis) is directly proportional to the amount of Essential Amino
Acids in your blood stream during the critical hours of training and recovery
– if you Double your EAA’s you can more than double your rate of
growth and recovery. In one study researchers infused Essential Amino Acids
into subject’s blood stream and found a direct and powerful relationship
between the amount of EAA’s in the blood stream and protein synthesis!
Doubling the blood EAA level from 1.3 (mmol/l) to 2.6 (mmol/l) resulted in nearly
a four-time increase in protein synthesis!
2. Reduce the amount of muscle breakdown that results from training.
When you begin training, your body signals for enzymes that tear up your hard-earned
muscle. This damage continues to accelerate for several hours after exercise
even though you are eating and resting. If you are having trouble making gains,
chances are that virtually 100% of your recovery is spent regenerating this
damaged muscle, leaving nothing for growth. A recent study showed nearly a 50%
reduction in the amount of post-exercise muscle damage with a 6 gram dose of
the EAA, Leucine – exactly the amount in two servings of Amino Shooter.
3. A dramatic improvement in caloric efficiency when compared to common protein
supplements - this makes Amino Shooter the most calorically efficient supplement
on the market today!
Caloric Efficiency is defined as the ratio of muscle protein synthesis to calories
consumed. Higher caloric efficiency means you will gain more muscle and less
fat, or if you are dieting, you will lose more fat and less muscle. As an example,
a recent study compared 6 grams of pure EAA’s to 6 grams of a mixed Essential
and Non Essential amino acid blend and found that the pure EAA’s stimulated
double the muscle growth! In another study, a group of subjects were given 18
grams of EAA’s, while a second group received 18 grams of EAA’s
along with 22 grams of NAA’s, which is similar to a normal protein serving.
While calories were more than double in the second group, the amount of protein
synthesis was identical for both groups! It is clear that the non-essential
amino acids did nothing to enhance muscle growth, they are simply extra calories.
It was only the essential amino acids that caused muscle growth! Keep in mind,
that the second ate what is considered an idealized protein. It contained no
carbohydrate or fat, it was already in the form of amino acids with the perfect
EAA to NAA ratio and it was 100% bio-available. Yet it was not as efficient
as pure EAA’s. Calculations based whey formulations currently on the market
show an even lower caloric efficiency, making Amino Shooter as much as 300%
better. The bottom line is that athletes can now grow faster while consuming
fewer calories and gaining less fat. By using Amino Shooter bodybuilders can
stay leaner while growing in the off-season, and greatly increase their ability
to become ripped during pre-contest dieting.
4. A Significant reduction in fatigue and soreness
By reducing muscle breakdown EAA’s also reduce the inflammatory process
that causes soreness. The same inflammation that causes soreness also signals
cortisol production – a hormone that causes muscle loss, fat gain, and
inhibits recovery. Reducing this cortisol spike after training means you recover
faster and build more muscle. Amino Shooter also helps reduce central nervous
system fatigue during training - you will be able to train harder longer and
create a greater stimulus for muscle growth. By decreasing the impact of all
these stress factors Amino Shooter also helps reduce the potential for overtraining.
Conclusion
When utilized properly and regularly, this supplement will help you enhance
muscle growth, reduce muscle breakdown, decrease body fat, lower fatigue, and
soreness and give you a potent competitive edge!
