essential ammo INGREDIENTS
- 2:1:1 ratio BCAA’s
- all 9 essential amino acids
- added electrolytes
- Histidine: Vital for the growth and repair of tissues, histidine is also a precursor to histamine, which plays roles in immune response and digestion.
- Isoleucine: Involved in muscle metabolism and energy regulation, isoleucine is essential for endurance and repair of muscle tissue.
- Leucine: Key for protein synthesis and muscle repair, leucine also regulates blood sugar levels and contributes to growth hormone production.
- Lysine: Important for protein synthesis, collagen formation, and calcium absorption, lysine also supports immune function and energy production.
- Methionine: Acts as a precursor for other amino acids and compounds, methionine is crucial for metabolism, detoxification, and tissue growth.
- Phenylalanine: A precursor to tyrosine, which regulates neurotransmitters like dopamine and adrenaline, phenylalanine is also involved in protein synthesis and thyroid function.
- Threonine: Supports protein balance, immune function, and central nervous system health, threonine also plays a role in collagen and elastin production.
- Tryptophan: Precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and sleep, tryptophan is also vital for protein synthesis and immune function.
- Valine: Involved in muscle metabolism and tissue repair, valine also contributes to energy production and mental vigor.
RESULTS/EFFECTS
The complete amino acid profile of Nexus Sports Nutrition Essential Ammo containing both BCAAs and EAAs is a crucial aspect of it’s formulation. Ensuring that you are maximising your protein synthesis, supporting lean muscle, improving glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity, decreasing post-training soreness and preventing muscle breakdown. BCAA include the amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. Individually, they each play a powerful role in the body upon ingestion.
Essential amino acids, more commonly known in short as EAA include the 9 amino acids Methionine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan as well as the 3 BCAA Leucine, Isoleucine & Valine. They are all considered ‘essential’ as the body can’t produce them on its own and are responsible for a variety of functions. Included in such is stimulating the production of cellular energy and promotion of cellular repair, initiation of the creation of the critical enzymes necessary for healthy (and complete) digestion, preventing muscle breakdown during periods of intense physical stress, and the enhancement and protection of the mitochondria. nexus sports nutrition essential ammo review
SIDE EFFECTS
Although very rare, some people have been known to have allergen reactions to BCAA products. If you’re aware of this then a vegan/fermented BCAA might be more suitable to your needs.
FLAVOURS
Nexus Essential Ammo currently comes in 4 flavours at the time of this review, including a limited edition flavour. All flavours are top of the line addictive! The list of current flavours are: Red Frog, Grape Xplosion, Arctic Slushy and Kiwi Strawberry.sports nutrition essential ammo review
Now we have personally tried all 4 flavours and unanimously agree that they are all amazing! No bullsh*t! But the Arctic Slushy takes the prize for our favourite and not just for Ammo but of all amino acid supplements!
