TIME 4 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS (EAAs) | Fermented Amino Acid Blend – 50 Servings – 350g Tub

What are Time 4 Nutrition Essential Aminos?

Like constructing a house, building, & maintaining a healthy, fit, lean & muscular body requires building blocks. In the human body, these are the amino acids, organic compounds composed of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen, which combine to form the various proteins needed by the body for numerous important functions, including tissue growth & repair, immune function & energy production.

There are 20 amino acids that make up the estimated 2 million different types of proteins. Of these 20, 9 are referred to as ‘Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)’ because they cannot be produced by the body & so must be obtained from dietary sources.

In addition to tissue growth and repair, Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are involved in numerous important functions within the body, ranging from immune function to energy production.

What are the benefits of supplementing with Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)?

Supplementation with Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) has been shown scientifically to provide several potential benefits for health & performance.

These include, but are not limited to:

• Increasing muscle protein synthesis
• Increasing muscle mass
• Reducing exercise induced muscle damage
• Enhancing post-exercise recovery
• Reducing exercise induced fatigue
• Enhancing the effect of mTOR

Why Time 4 Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)?

Time 4 Nutrition Essential Aminos is a potent, specially blended formula of all 9 Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) needed by the body to optimise muscle growth, repair & recovery. We only use plant based fermented amino acids so this product is also suitable for vegans. We have also added Glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in the human body. It makes up approximately 60 percent of our skeletal muscle & plays an important role in protein synthesis. Muscle tissue is a major site of Glutamine production, where it forms the anabolic precursor for muscle growth.

In addition to Glutamine, our Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) also contain Vitamins B6 & Vitamin B12, due to their important role in amino acid metabolism, & Vitamin D which has many benefits.

Several recent studies have highlighted Vitamin D’s role in building & maintaining muscle, particularly when used in conjunction with the supplementation of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) & resistance exercise. This is because the exposure of skeletal muscles to Vitamin D influences the genetic processes that enhance muscle cell type, function & growth. At the same time, Vitamin D suppresses the expression of Myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle size by inhibiting growth.

In addition, vitamin D increases the number of type II or fast twitch muscle fibres and in particular that of type IIA cells, resulting in an increase in muscular power output, while its deficiency causes type IIA cell atrophy and a loss of strength. The importance of vitamin D supplementation becomes evident when we consider that 50% of the population are vitamin D deficient.

To help to ensure that you get the maximum benefit from our Fermented Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) product we have included AstraGin®, a 100% natural plant-based compound that increases absorption of many vital nutrients including amino acids.

Time 4 Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are derived from corn and do not contain any animal by-products making them suitable for those consuming a plant-based diet. Our Essential Amino Acids EAAs are also sugar, fat, gluten, GMO and dairy free.

MANUFACTURED IN THE UK – Time 4 Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) were developed in the UK by a team of professionals from the fields of nutrition, biochemistry & exercise with decades of industry experience & is manufactured in a BRC, ISO & GMP accredited facility to give you complete peace of mind. We employ an evidence-based approach to all our products & provide access to peer-reviewed research papers from some of the leading scientific journals to support their use. A full explanation of all technical terminology is provided so that you fully understand exactly what is contained within our supplements & the potential benefits for health & performance they may provide you with. While many of our products are aimed at increasing muscle size & strength & reducing body fat, we also understand how important your health is & have developed various supplements that promote general health & well-being to enable you to become the best you can be.
