Amino Acids

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, without them the human body can't grow muscle tissue.

Amino acid supplements are especially popular among athletes and body builders. These supplements help them enhance their performance and also help them increase muscle mass. For instance, a supplement, containing a mixture of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), arginine and glutamine, can help quicker recovery from the muscle fatigue that follows eccentric exercise training. Blood oxygen carrying capacity of the athletes can be increased and chances of muscle damage can be decreased with the help of these supplements.
