BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS

Used before endurance training, the Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine can help spare muscle. Primeval Lab's EAA MAX provides a 5000 mg blend of the three branched chain amino acids in every serving. The branched chain amino acids (BCAA's), so named because of their unique branched chemical structure, are essential in that the body cannot make them from other compounds. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anticatabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and anabolic (muscle building) effects.

Used after strength training, they help kick-start protein synthesis which plays an important role in muscle building.

ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS

Amino acids are the building blocks for all proteins, making them essential for a number of body functions, including fluid balance, enzyme production, cellular repair and energy metabolism. Amino acids also provide a readily available form of nitrogen, a critical element that forms various compounds such as neurotransmitters and creatine. In humans, protein is composed of 20 amino acids, only some of which the body is able to produce. Of those, there are 11 non-essential Aminos and nine essential amino acids (EAA). "Essential," in this case, means that your body does not produce them, therefore, you need to get them via food or supplementation.

OPTIMUM HYDRATION MATRIX

EAA Max supplies a well-rounded blend of essential minerals and electrolytes, including magnesium, sodium, and potassium, from highly bioavailable sources such as pink himalayan salt and coconut water concentrate.

Electrolytes are vital to maintaining a high level of performance while delaying the onset of fatigue as they play critical roles in the contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle tissue as well as regulate fluid balance inside and outside of the cell. Even as little as 2% drop in hydration is known to induce premature fatigue, reduce performance, and decrease stamina.

EAA Max supplies valuable electrolytes to support hydration, cell volumization, and performance so that you can train harder for longer.

MUSCLE & ENERGY NUTRIENT DELIVERY

Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (2,000mg) is the ideal carbohydrate you want going into an intense workout. It's unique molecular structure facilitates rapid digestion with no GI upset or "carb coma" like other functional carbohydrates.*

Cluster Dextrin doesn't raise blood sugar or insulin, yet gets immediately transported into muscles where it can provide a reliable source of energy and enhance nutrient delivery, thereby supporting muscle growth and repair. This is the exact carbohydrate you want packaged with your essential amino acids for maximal nutrient transport and absorption!*

D-Ribose (500mg) is a supplemental variation of ribose, a sugar produced from the digestion of glucose, that combines with adenine to form ATP, the primary energy driver of cellular metabolism.
