Amino acids, essential for optimal health and athletic performance, serve as the building blocks of proteins. Vital Aminos is a revolutionary product designed to deliver crucial essential amino acids (EAAs) and additional amino acids with specific benefits. Essential amino acids, including phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine and histidine, are vital for muscle growth, tissue repair, hormone synthesis, and neurotransmitter function.
Understanding the difference between essential amino acids (EAAs) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) is key. BCAAs, a subset of EAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine), play a unique role in muscle metabolism. However, to fully support muscle recovery and protein synthesis, incorporating all nine EAAs is crucial.
