Power Supplements Essential Amino Acids 350g
Most powerful protein supplement for a workout/training
Consider this special mix of essential amino acids (EAA) as the most concentrated and powerful 'protein supplement' for peri-workout nutrition (the period right before, during and after a workout or training session). Here is why:
- 100% protein as amino acids
- 100% absorption without needing further digestion
- this mix of essential amino acids can be seen as a protein supplement with the absolute highest PCDAAS score (‘protein digestion corrected amino acid score’). The PCDAAS is the ultimate determination of how valuable a protein is in its ratio of amino acids and the digestibility.
Distinguished quality of ´Essential Amino Acids´ by Power Supplements
- The ratios between the 9 amino acids are based on research done on the use of essential amino acids during strength training. When one out of 9 essential amino acids is lacking, the other 8 amino acids cannot be used by the body for muscle synthesis.
- All essential amino acids are present, including L-tryptophan. L-tryptophan is also an essential amino acid. Yet it is often not present in other EAA-blends. However , a supplement with essential amino acids without tryptophan has a biological value of 0.
- The 9 amino acids are produced by 2 Japanese manufacturers. These are world famous because of their expertise about amino acid production.
- These essential amino acids are produced by means of (vegan-proof) fermentation rather than from offal, feathers or hair.
The only exception is L-methionine which cannot yet be produced by means of fermentation. This has been produced entirely by means of biochemical synthesis and is 100% identical to natural methionine. It is therefore also vegan-proof - this supplement does not contain synthetic sweeteners
Comparing EAA with BCAA
- ´Essential Amino Acids (EAA´s) consists for 40% out of the 3 well known BCAA amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. Two dosages of EAA contain well over 6 gram of BCAA in the well known 2:1:1 ratio.
- Along with the BCAA this superior EAA supplement also contains 6 other essential amino acids.
- A high dosage of BCAA may cause a deficit in other amino acids because some other amino acids can no longer be synthesized.
It is therefore recommended to take EAA instead of simply BCAA. This is especially valid when someone trains on an empty stomach and has not yet ingested (essential) amino acids from food. - A high dosage of BCAA can limit the uptake of the essential amino acid tryptophan into the brain. This may result in a diminished production of the sedative neurotransmitter serotonine. A decent EAA mix therefore also contains tryptophan, so there will not be a deficit in tryptophan.

Forget about exercising to lose weight: you can't outrun a bad diet!
A few days ago, an article showed up in my newsfood about a remarkable result of research done on the Hadza tribe in Tanzania, which still leads a traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
Despite walking an average of a multiple of ten thousands of steps every day, they barely need more calories than the average couch potato in a Western country.
That same day I discussed with an old friend who had read the same news story. He told me how he had trained for a marathon in the past, but barely dropped any weight while doing so. Only when he spent a week on liquid foods at a spa, he succeeded in losing weight which he mostly thanks to the relaxed environment. Otherwise it was next to impossible. Apparently his body really clung to its precious body fat!
But how was this possible? We didn't really know though we had our suspicions. I I could tell much about the same story. Yes, I'd drop weight pretty fast in the first few weeks of the cycling season or on a longer cycling holiday, but would get stuck at my regular (still too heavy) summer weight while I wasn't really inhaling tons of food. Except then for the Route des Cent Cols during which I could barely eat enough to stay fit and sleep well for all those mountains.
Let's find out more about this particular research!
“Don’t expect any meaningful weight change in the long term from exercise alone.”
What Pontzer and his fellow researchers discovered flew in the face of received wisdom about how our metabolism works. Although the Hadza lead far more active lives than ours – routinely walking long distances, they undertake more physical activity daily than the typical American does in a week – their energy expenditure was no greater. They were burning the same number of calories as men and women from industrialised populations. Our bodies, concluded Pontzer, seem to maintain daily energy expenditure within a narrow window, no matter what lifestyle we lead. While obesity is largely caused by overconsumption, it appears there’s little we can do to change the calories we burn.
recommended use
A dosage consists of 3 scoops (~8 gram). Mix the 3 scoops with a minimum of 150ml water, fruit juice or sports drink. By shaking briskly even the less easily dissolved amino acid L-leucine will be dissolved.
Take one dosage before a workout and another one afterwards. You may also divide intake over a workout.
It is recommended to consume proteins from a meal or a protein shake (preferably within one hour) after your workout.
