f40417f4-eec9-4c91-bd57-de42557dcd04 BCAAs vs EAAs Dr Francesca Alves , PhD Most people are aware of the importance of adequate protein intake to maintain and build muscle mass. Just like carbohydrates are broken down into glucose to fuel energy, proteins are broken down into amino acids to fuel muscle synthesis and a range of other important biological functions depending on the composition of amino acids. Understanding the structure and function of amino acids can help you personalize amino acid supplement profiles to achieve maximum health benefits. First, let's understand the basic structure and amino acid groupings. There are 20 common amino acids that can be grouped according to their chemical compositions. All amino acids consist of an amino acid backbone with a central carbon atom (called the alpha carbon) bonded to four groups: a hydrogen atom, an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain (R group), which varies among amino acids. Three of these amino acids—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—have a ‘branched’ R group. These are called "branched-chain" amino acids (BCAAs) because of this unique chemical structure. BCAAs primarily promote muscle protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown during exercise1. Leucine, in particular, plays a critical role in stimulating muscle growth2. Another way to group amino acids is based on their availability. The human body can synthesize a subset of amino acids—called ‘non-essential’ amino acids—but 9 other amino acids must be sourced from the diet. These ‘essential’ amino acids (EAAs) sourced from diet and supplements include the BCAAs. An EAA supplement will cover all essential amino acids, which is great for supporting a broader range of physiological functions, including tissue repair, nutrient absorption, and neurotransmitter synthesis (e.g., tryptophan is a precursor for serotonin—a neurotransmitter required for healthy cognition)3. EAA supplements are particularly beneficial for individuals with restricted diets (i.e., vegetarians and vegans) as it is more difficult to achieve adequate EAA absorption. However, the level of BCAAs in a general EAA supplement may not be maximized for the specific function of muscle protein synthesis and repair1. Thus, stacking a BCAA supplement may be necessary (or ‘essential’) for active or metabolically stressed (i.e., age-related disorders) individuals to enhance exercise performance, reduce fatigue, and aid in muscle recovery4.

88632be2-0a95-4dab-9b8c-088ad204b352 Amino K.E.M. EAA Dr Francesca Alves , PhD Getting a ‘muscle pump’ is desirable not just because the veins be popping - but because the combination of increased blood flow, fluid accumulation, and nutrient delivery to the muscles (which is what contributes to temporary swelling of muscle volume and enhanced muscle definition) can also improve performance, facilitate muscle growth and improve recovery. While the pump itself is temporary, it can be a valuable tool for long term gains. Amino K.E.M by Evogen is a supplement designed to maximise muscle pump based on increasing nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide increases blood flow by inducing vasodilation through the relaxation of smooth muscle cells in the blood vessels to improve mechanisms contributing to skeletal muscle performance, hypertrophy, and strength adaptations[1, 2]. Think of it as instantly adding several more lanes on a busy highway. The added lanes facilitate not only increased delivery of essential nutrients like essential amino acids, oxygen and glucose BUT also the removal of metabolic waste products such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. This enhanced replenishment and removal between repeated exercise sets can delay fatigue and allow for a greater training volume which could improve the anabolic stimulus and subsequent muscular adaptation[3]. Put simply, Amino K.E.M pumps up the volume in more ways than one! So down some Amino K.E.M. and test it out for yourself with these top 5 muscle pump inducing exercises: Bicep Curls Tricep Pushdowns Leg Extensions Chest Flyes Lateral Raises References 1.

71f06f03-b208-4cd8-bc90-98a042008ab1 The Benefits of L-Citruline Malate Dr Francesca Alves , PhD L-Citrulline Malate is a compound that combines L-citrulline, a non-essential amino acid, with malate, a derivative of malic acid. Combining L-Citrulline with malate (malic acid) in the form of L-Citrulline Malate is believed to enhance the benefits of both components. But first, let's break down the individual molecular benefits. L-citrulline: Once ingested, L-Citrulline is converted into L-arginine in the kidneys. L-arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide synthesis and is utilized by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) to produce nitric oxide. Increased NO levels lead to vasodilation, which improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to tissues, especially muscles. L-Citrulline also helps in the urea cycle by detoxifying ammonia, a byproduct of protein metabolism. Lower ammonia levels reduce muscle fatigue and promote better endurance. Increased blood flow and waste removal can have an immediate benefit on performance. Indeed, several studies have shown an acute benefit of maximum output after ingesting 4-10 grams of citrate malate approximately 1 hour before exercising1-4. Malate: Malate is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), which is crucial for the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell. Indeed, in one study using the same dose present in Stimul8 (6g), citrate malate ingestion resulted in a significant reduction in the sensation of fatigue and a 34% increase in the rate of oxidative ATP production during exercise5. In summary, synergizing L-Citrulline with malate (malic acid) in the form of L-Citrulline Malate is believed to enhance the benefits of both components. The combination of increased blood flow and metabolic waste removal with an energy resource can help improve energy production during exercise, leading to enhanced performance and reduced fatigue.
