Beta-Alanine Powder Overview
BodyStrong’s Beta Alanine Powder contains bulk 100% pure beta alanine, shown in clinical studies to delay muscular fatigue, increase intramuscular carnosine concentrations, increase strength and improve power output in humans. Supplementing with beta alanine may help increase muscle gains and anaerobic endurance through these mechanisms. *

Beta alanine is a precursor to muscular carnosine, an important factor in buffering lactic acid. Lactic acid comes into play when you experience muscular fatigue, it’s that “burning” sensation that you feel when you push long sets and go the distance. A 10-week study showed that twice daily 400-800mg beta alanine supplementation increased intramuscular carnosine concentrations by an average of 80%. Beta alanine can make a big difference for over-trained bodybuilders and especially athletes who are looking to run faster, jump higher and lift heavier. *

Beta alanine is also famous for producing the pins and needles flushing effect in the skin experienced by many who supplement with it. This effect is known as paresthesia and is completely harmless. In fact, many actually really enjoy it and look forward to getting the “beta tingles” each time they supplement with beta alanine. Getting the beta tingles is also a tell tale sign that you’re supplementing with pure, unadulterated beta alanine like the one offered by BodyStrong *

L-Tryptophan (500mg) Overview
Body First’s L-Tryptophan is a 100% pure, free form version of the amino acid L-Tryptophan. L-Tryptophan is a natural precursor to both melatonin and serotonin within the body. It can also be used to naturally produce Niacin within the body. Supplementing with L-Tryptophan has been shown to support a positive mood, regular sleep patterns, relaxation and natural feelings of well-being. *

After absorption, L-Tryptophan is able to convert to 5-HTP and eventually to serotonin. This process of conversion can further continue by serotonin converting into melatonin. When you supplement with L-Tryptophan, your body does a great job at releasing the correct amount of conversional enzymes to ensure the right amount of each hormone is produced. Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter found in various places throughout the body and is an important contributor to producing feelings of happiness. Melatonin is a hormone that plays a role regulating circadian rhythm, influencing regular sleep patterns by promoting feelings of relaxation and drowsiness. Supplementing with L-Tryptophan at night has been shown to promote positive mood and improved sleep. *

Hydroxy Methyl-Butyrate Overview
BodyStrong’s HMB contains 100% pure Calcium Beta-Hydroxy Beta Methylbutyrate. HMB is a metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid l-leucine and is naturally synthesized in the body from l-leucine. HMB is thought to be the powerhouse behind the muscle building and anti-catabolic effects of l-leucine. HMB has been shown to support muscle tissue growth, prevent muscle catabolism, increase muscular endurance and increase protein synthesis. When used in conjunction with a sound diet and structured training program, HMB can add significantly to quality lean muscle gains as well as aid in lean mass preservation during dieting phases. *

How HMB Works to Build More Muscle

HMB enhances protein synthesis primarily through the mTOR pathway, a key growth regulatory pathway in skeletal muscle. mTOR regulates muscle cell growth, cell proliferation, protein synthesis and transcription among many other key cell functions. It also interacts with insulin, growth factors like IGF-1 and IGF-2 as well as all other amino acids. HMB is thought to increase localized levels of specific growth factors, increase protein synthesis for all other amino acids and enhance the anabolic effects of insulin on muscle cells and nutrient uptake.*

Many bodybuilders report that taking between 3-4 grams of HMB each day hits the “sweet spot” for noticeable lean mass gains. Typically, results are noticed after 3-4 weeks of supplementation and significant improvements after 7-8 weeks. You do not have to cycle HMB, it is completely all-natural and can be taken year round. HMB should be a staple of every bodybuilders supplement regimen and is now proudly offered by BodyStrong at a price everyone can afford.

Amino Complex (1500mg) Overview

When you ingest a protein, the body will break it apart into individual amino acids, reorder them and then turn them into whatever it needs at the time. BodyStrong's Amino Complex contains 17 different amino acids from hydrolyzed protein. Rather quickly, your body absorbs these aminos, where the muscles put them to work, encouraging tissue repair and stimulating new growth. Amino Complex is a perfect supplement for those looking to provide their muscles with extra amino acids during heavy weight training, endurance training, in between meals or while dieting.

Beyond being the basis for muscle growth, amino acids are essential for synthesizing proteins, enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters and just about every other body function you can name.

BodyStrong's Amino Complex encourages positive nitrogen retention in between meals and during intense metabolic resistance training. Amino Complex can be used as a functional, pre- and post-workout nutrition supplement, supplying key amino acids to muscles during those crucial times. Take it after a workout when your protein synthesis is low to jump start muscle repair.

BodyStrong Amino Complex is rich in glutamine, arginine, glycine and Branched-chain amino acids to facilitate better recovery and bigger muscle pumps. The body cannot naturally produce BCAAs L-leucine, L-valine and L-isoleucine, so they must be taken as a supplement or sourced from foods. These three amino acids, along with glutamine, also promote protein synthesis and prevent muscle breakdown.

Glutamine is the most common amino acid found in your muscles, plus it is 19 percent nitrogen, making it the primary nitrogen transporter to your muscle cells. As you train, your glutamine levels deplete rapidly, decreasing your strength and stamina. Supplemental glutamine can help restore these levels and minimize muscle breakdown.

Arginine is a great nutrient for heart health. It helps relieve congestive heart failure and improves stamina.

Glycine helps promote muscle growth and improves digestion performance. It also repairs and protects joint and cartilage, slows the effects of aging and supports the immune system. It's also good for the brain.

Amino Complex is also a great tool for those on strict diets. Many bodybuilding enthusiasts have popularized the method of “pulsing” aminos, or taking them between meals. While dieting, this method may preserve and even build lean mass when cutting calories. Research shows you can pulse your amino acids between meals to increase protein syntheses without hindering the anabolic effects of your regular meals.

Highlights

• Blend of 17 Powerful Amino Acids
• Provides an Anabolic Environment for Muscle Repair and Growth
• Helps Maintain Positive Nitrogen Retention in Between Meals
• Perfect Anytime Source of Amino Acids
