In 1995, Ajinomoto sports scientists set out to create an advanced sports performance supplement that would safely and effectively deliver all the energizing, restorative and fitness-enhancing power of amino acids. The end result of their efforts is Amino Vital, the first sports performance supplement formulated with precisely the right combination of amino acids your body needs for greater fitness and higher performance.

Product Benefits

Energizes while combating fatigue. Rich in BCAAs as well as arginine and glutamine, Amino Vital delivers the power your muscles need for sustained exertion. Studies also show that this unique combination of amino acids results in lower creatine kinase (CK-MM) levels in the bloodstream, which can be a symptom of muscle damage and exhaustion.

Ensures fast absorption to help prevent dehydration. Requiring no digestion, Amino Vital passes from the stomach into the intestines and from there to the rest of your body as quickly as possible. In addition, the osmotic pressure of Amino Vital is designed to allow a fast but steady rate of absorption, so more fluid reaches your body tissues when you need it most. See Chart

Increases fat burning with exercise. Amino Vital encourages fat burning by helping your muscles perform at peak efficiency and thus burn more fat calories. Over the long term, an increased muscle-to-fat ratio results in a higher metabolism, making it much easier to take - and keep - weight off.

Helps maintain focus during workouts. A plentiful supply of BCAAs supports the psychological effect of "focus" during exercise. When your body is low on BCAAs, there's a relative increase in production of the potent brain neurotransmitter serotonin, which makes you feel sleepy and unfocused. Amino Vital ensures optimum levels of BCAAs, so serotonin won't get in the way of workout.

Encourages muscle recovery and repair. Amino Vital provides the nutrients (BCAAs, arginine and glutamine) your muscles need to rebuild themselves faster with less soreness. Arginine also helps remove toxins that accumulate during muscle exertion.

Fitness, Health and Wellbeing for the Long Haul!

Unlike many other sports "energy" supplements, Amino Vital was developed to support long-term conditioning. A perfectly proportioned combination of the five Vital Amino Acids (BCAAs plus arginine and glutamine) Amino Vital delivers the nutrition you need to restore muscle fibers to their optimal state over the long term. After just a few weeks of using Amino Vital, you'll notice an improvement in how your muscles handle strain and exertion.

Over the long haul, Amino Vital will help keep your muscles primed for top performance and your body conditioned for greater fitness and overall health. A constantly adequate supply of the amino acids your body needs most will help you achieve a better fat-to-muscle ratio, greater resistance to injuries and even a stronger immune system.

BCAA's Plus Arginine and Glutamine - Power for Muscular Exertion

Scientists have learned that three linked essential amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine), called Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)serve as a critical source of muscle energy as well as nutrition for muscle repair. In fact, the very fibers that make up muscles are themselves "constructed" of these BCAAs. Unlike other amino acids, which are mostly metabolized in the liver, BCAAs are metabolized in the muscle tissue itself.

Without a sufficient supply, your muscles begin to feel tired and sore during exercise. In contrast, a plentiful supply of BCAAs makes you feel energized and helps muscles recover and rebuild much faster. And during and after exertion, two other amino acids, arginine and glutamine, work to synthesize proteins, remove harmful toxins and strengthen the body's immune system.
