Ultimate Nutrition introduces New Liquid
Amino; a fast-acting, easily-digested liquid
concentrate that provides a full spectrum of
essential and non-essential amino acids.
Each serving contains 22 grams of
high-quality protein, derived from natural
enzyme-hydrolyzed gelatin and whey protein
isolate. Amino acids are the building blocks
of protein in the body; as such they are
essential for the synthesis of structural
proteins, enzymes, and some hormones and
neurotransmitters. Amino acids are also
involved in numerous metabolic pathways that
affect exercise metabolism.
Athletes are accustomed to viewing
carbohydrates as the “exercise
macronutrient”. Carbohydrates, primarily in
the form of muscle glycogen, supply the
majority of fuel at the beginning of
high-intensity training. However, amino
acids, which are supplied via breakdown of
muscle protein, contribute an increasing
amount of energy during prolonged endurance
activity. Infact, research has shown that
exercise burns up to 15% of the total amount
of calories from protein by extracting amino
acids from muscle tissues. If athletes do
not supply this protein as part of their
diet, lean muscle tissue will be used.
Without amino acid replenishment, as
athletes exercise longer, their performance,
recovery, and immune system are compromised.
Liquid Amino is a combination of proteins
that provide complete support for an
athlete’s diet. Each delicious Fruit Punch
flavored serving provides 22 grams of high
quality protein derived from natural enzyme
hydrolyzed gelatin and whey protein isolate.
Whey protein is excellent for enhancing
recovery. Whey protein has the highest
biological value (BV) of any protein source.
Whey protein’s amino acid profile contains
the highest percentage of essential amino
acids, 25% of which are BCAA’s. Whey is also
a rich source of two other important amino
acids, methionine and cysteine, which
stimulate the natural production of
glutathione, one of the body’s most powerful
antioxidants and a major factor in
maintaining a strong immune system.
Glutathione also supports healthy liver
function.
Bovine gelatin has been marketed
worldwide for many years as a food and as a
protein and joint health supplement.
Collagen is an essential structural protein
that forms an important part of bones,
tendons, and connective tissues. It is a
tough insoluble protein that is essential
for keeping the many cells and tissues of
the body together. Gelatin contains an
exceptionally high content of two amino
acids, which play an important part in
collagen formation; proline and glycine. The
intake of hydrolyzed gelatin gets
chondrocytes and osteoblasts (cartilage
producing cells and bone forming cells)
ample amounts of these important amino acids
for making structural proteins.
