Amino acids are one of the basic building blocks of the human body. They are constantly being converted, broken down and rebuilt. Amino acids are involved in almost all metabolic processes in humans and are therefore indispensable in the human organism for a healthy body with a strong immune system. As protein building blocks, they form muscles, organs, skin and hair, but are also components of enzymes, hormones and immune cells. A distinction is made between essential, non-essential and conditionally essential amino acids. A balanced supply of essential amino acids through diet or targeted supplementation is therefore important not only for athletes, but also for people with increased physical or mental stress. In contrast to the latter two groups, essential amino acids cannot be produced by our body itself and must therefore be supplied in sufficient quantities through food.
During prolonged exertion, the body increasingly draws on its own protein structures, which can lead to muscle breakdown. The targeted intake of essential amino acids, especially BCAA and leucine, weakens this process and shortens the catabolic phase. For longer activities in cycling, triathlon or trail running, we recommend taking one ampoule of Amino 12500 or Amino EAA Tabs every two to three hours. This stabilises the protein and amino acid balance and protects the muscles from breakdown – especially in the event of an energy deficit, when the body uses muscle mass for energy. In addition, it is recommended to consume another ampoule of Amino 12500 immediately after intensive training sessions. The BCAA, L-arginine and L-ornithine contained in the product have an anti-catabolic effect, i.e. they inhibit muscle breakdown.
