5% Rich Piana: ALLDAYYOUMAY

Anyone familiar with Rich Piana’s philosophy will know that when it comes to progression and adding muscle size, nothing can replace food. During your training, however, you need nutrients to help you push through those last reps and give all you have. This is where 5% Nutrition's ALLDAYYOUMAY comes into play. It aims to deliver the nutrients you need to optimize your training, improve muscle recovery and health while contributing to improved joint function. That is a lot of different goals for one product to achieve so let's look at how ALLDAYYOUMAY seeks to accomplish this.

10:1:1 BCAA's for Muscle Recovery and Growth

ALLDAYYOUMAY includes 6g of BCAA's in every serving. BCAA's have been shown to have multiple positive effects from reducing muscle soreness, and decreasing muscle breakdown to improving performance during your workout and helping to repair muscle tissue broken down during exercise faster than whole proteins. BCAA's also help support the immune system while having the ability to help users retain more muscle mass when dieting.

ALLDAYYOUMAY has boosted the regular 2:1:1 bcaa ratio to 10:1:1 meaning there is 10 parts leucine to each part of isoleucine and valine. With leucine being the most important of the three branched chain amino acids the extra dosing will help boost recovery and growth more than a regular 2:1:1 BCAA supplement.

Essential Amino Acids

Essential amino acids are classed as such because whereas some amino acids can be synthesised by the body, EAA's must come from the diet and if they are not provided both health and physical performance suffers. BCAA's are themselves essential amino acids but ALLDAYYOUMAY adds in another three which together amplify the effects of BCAA's in supporting training performance and recovery. One of the essential amino acids in ALLDAYYOUMAY, L-Phenylalanine, can also help improve exercise performance by increasing your output of adrenaline and noradrenaline and thereby increasing central nervous system activation and boosting energy levels.

Conditionally Essential Amino Acid Blend

ALLDAYYOUMAY includes three amino acids which your body struggles to synthesise in the required quantity when subjected to intense workouts. 

Glutamine - Critical for optimal immune system function and muscle recovery.

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate - This form of carnitine improves the utilisation of fat as a fuel source as well as helping to combat muscle damage and improve endurance. L-Carnitine L-Tartrate has also been shown to upregulate androgen receptors meaning it can both support optimal testosterone function and if using a testosterone booster enables them to work better.

Recovery, Electrolytes and Endurance Support

The inclusion of HICA and beta-alanine are two key factors that help separate ALLDAYYOUMAY from many other intra-workouts. HICA has been shown to help stimulate muscle protein synthesis while beta-alanine extends workout performance by improving lactic acid buffering capability. The addition of creatinol-o-phosphate adds a nutrient which has been shown to both boost performance as well as improve recovery. This same ingredient is also found in Kill It making that an ideal pre-workout to stack with ALLDAYYOUMAY.

The presence of coconut water concentrate in ALLDAYYOUMAY gives users the benefits of an electrolyte rich food which ensures that workout performance does not suffer due to depletion of electrolytes. For endurance athletes in particular this will be of particular importance.

Joint Support Blend

This is a first for a product of this kind as far as we can recall. ALLDAYYOUMAY provides 600mg of a blend of nutrients which help to repair and rebuild soft tissue structures which can take a battering when training.

The Final Word

As you can see the presence of so many performance and recovery enhancing ingredients in ALLDAYYOUMAY makes this product something which is quite unique and a great choice for users looking for not just an intra-workout but a general repair and recovery supplement.
