| EAA Stack: Everyday Anabolic Armor |
| by Anthony “Big Ant” DeAngelis, Natural Pro, National-Level NPC Competitor |
| Essential Amino Acids are what I call “Everyday Anabolic Armor”. You see Essential Amino Acids are the nine amino acids essential for humans: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, theonine, tryptophan, methionine, histidine, valine and phenylalanine. In addition, the amino acids arginine, cysteine, glycine, glutamine and tyrosine are considered conditionally essential, meaning they are not normally required in the diet. We all know amino acids are the building blocks of protein and a variety of protein dense foods have different amino acid profiles. But with busy and demanding work schedules, family responsibilities and day to day chores, we can easily miss a protein meal here and there. Therefore, I use this powdered drink mix throughout the day-everyday. Anabolic results: Anabolic processes are and responsible for "building up" organs and tissues. These processes produce growth and differentiation of cells and an increase in body size, what every person who works out and is involved in some kind of fitness-exercise routine wants. Armor: They also aid in recuperation, helping the body recover, energized and ready to hit the weights hard yet again. If you're sore and tired (physically and emotionally), and you're simply showing up to the gym to go through the motions, you should stay at home and rest for another day or two. I have several ways taking my EAA Stack. I put several scoops in my water bottle which is on my desk at work. Every time I refill it with water, it also gets two scoops of EAA Stack. Also at home, before bed, I add three scoops of EAA Stack and one half cup of crushed ice, one cup of ice water, and half a cup of frozen raspberries in a blender to make a delicious anabolic fruit smoothie. Over the weekends, when my schedule is not as regimented, I freeze an ice cube tray of EAA Stack-Juicy Watermelon flavor is my favorite. When frozen, I add three to four EAA Stack ice cubes to my many glasses of water that I drink with my meals. Your body, minus water, is 75 percent amino acids. Amino acid supplements are a safe, highly effective way to improve overall physical well-being and appearance. Amino acids are critically important to life and health--they are crucial for growth, maintenance and repair of the human body as they are involved in the formation of muscle and tissue proteins, skin, hair, nails and enzymes. They are also a vital part of the immune system, the body's defense mechanism. Many body builders know that without enough amino acids in their system, the body tends to feed on its own muscles when faced with an energy crisis. This has led to the interest in aminos in the bodybuilding community. The EAAs ensure that the body has plenty of fuel to build muscle rather than break it down, allowing it to waste away. With EAA Stack I know my body will perform to its fullest potential and with the delicious new Juicy Watermelon flavor, I actually look forward to every serving. |
