NTEL Nutra: Acid 9

It is important to supplement the body with protein to help maintain and build muscle mass. Muscle protein synthesis is responsible for turning protein and amino acids into hard earned muscles. In order to do this, the body needs all the 9 Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) these amino acids also includes the BCAA's – including Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine.

Why take a simple BCAA product with only 3 ingredients, when you can take a product which includes all 9 essential amino acids? Acid 9 contains the full spectrum of amino acids that your body needs to gain muscle.

The 9 essential amino acids that are within Acid 9 are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. Essential amino acids mean that the body cannot produce them, and therefore they have to be obtained within the diet or through supplements. The best dietary sources of essential amino acids are animal proteins such as red meat, eggs and poultry. In order to have the full spectrum, the diet has to be very varied and often this is difficult to achieve. Using supplements to increase the intake of EAAs is a quick and convenient way to increase overall amino acid concentration in the body.
