Amino Balance for Longevity and Healthy Aging

  Optimal health, energy, strength, recovery, fat loss, beautiful skin, mood and brain function, muscle growth -- these are but a few of the benefits of the free form amino acids in Anabol Naturals’ Amino Balance. But why are so many people and athletes not aware of the differences in amino acids and proteins, the differences in their form and the best way to take them?

What are Amino Acids?
  Amino acids are the smallest molecules that comprise protein, commonly referred to as the “building blocks of life” -- they build all body and tissue protein. Seventy-five percent of the body’s solid weight is made up of proteins and their constituent amino acids. Unable to be efficiently stored in the body, amino acid reserves must be resupplied continuously.
   Twenty three amino acids support the growth, repair and maintenance of about 1600 different types of proteins in the human body, including muscles, connective tissues, hormones, enzymes, antibodies, hair, skin, nails and blood. 

What are Free Form Amino Acids?
  Free form amino acids are singular molecules, not attached by peptide bonds to other amino acids.
   Crystalline free form amino acids do not need to be digested. They are assimilated directly into the body and ready to be utilized. Food proteins, so called “pre-digested” protein hydrolysates and peptide bond amino acids require from four to six hours to digest, in an energy depleting process. Food proteins and hydrolysates are often incomplete and malabsorbed, even resulting in extreme intestinal discomfort and flatulence.

What are the benefits of Free Form Amino Acids (FFAAs)?

Bioavailability.
  Crystalline FFAAs are absorbed into the bloodstream and are available to the tissues within 20 minutes, requiring no digestion to be utilized. This ensures that the appropriate amino acids can be available immediately after exercise when the muscle is especially receptive to nutrients and blood flow remains high. FFAAs are not affected by other important factors that limit protein amino acid bioavailability: (1) the structural nature of the food -- as well as fat and calorie content (2) the cooking of the protein (3) the metabolic efficiency of the digestive system as influenced by genetics, age, overall health, specific diseases and illnesses.

Hypoallergenic.
  FFAAs are hypoallergenic (extremely non-allergic). Many sources of animal and plant proteins cause allergic reaction. Amino Balance is molecularly pure and appropriate for the lactose intolerant and those who suffer a variety of food allergies. Protein toxicity is a common problem for athletes, especially bodybuilders who create serious liver and kidney conditions due to overconsumption and malabsorption of protein. To protect against protein toxicity, Amino Balance is used instead of protein, or as a digestive aid to improve assimilation of food protein.

Fat Loss.
  To promote fat loss several FFAAs in Amino Balance increase the mobilization and circulation of stored fats in the body. Amino acids also convert fat to energy at the cell’s energy source, the cell mitochondria. With many caloric reduction diets, Amino Balance provides not only fat burning benefits, but also a low calorie, low food volume source of protein with specific benefits to the muscles, liver and immune system critical to optimal health.

Enhanced Muscle Growth.
Specific amino acids, notably L-Leucine, L-Valine, and L-Isoleucine prevent muscle tissue breakdown during exercise. Amino Balance’s free form amino acids accelerate muscle tissue healing and growth by providing a specific amino acid profile where they are needed, directly in muscle tissue. The result is faster muscle and strength gains, as well as enhanced recovery.

Energy.
FFAAs provide two of the bodies important energy fuels: creatine phosphate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). These are non-carbohydrate compounds that provide a direct source of energy for power, growth and vitality.

Why you need a Multinutrient Vitamin-Mineral Supplement
           
ACCIDENTS, ILLNESS & CHRONIC DISEASE.
Burns, surgery, wounds, infection and broken bones increase the need for amino acids. Vitamins E, B6, and C, as well as minerals zinc, calcium and magnesium are all essential for cellular repair.

ALCOHOL.
Alcohol damages the lining of the intestinal tract, liver and pancreas, all vital to digestion, absorption and metabolism of nutrients. Regular use of alcohol increases the body’s need for vitamins A, B complex and C as well as minerals zinc, calcium and magnesium.

ANTIBIOTICS.
Some antibiotics kill healthy bacteria and create deficiencies in B complex vitamins which can result in nervous disorders.

ATHLETES.
Athletes consume large amounts of foods and undergo extreme physical stress which creates a wide range of needs for amino acids, B complex, vitamin C, iron and potassium.

BIO-INDIVIDUALITY.
Individuals, especially those with high physical demands such as athletes and laborers, may have nutritional requirements that exceed official amino acid, vitamin, and mineral recommendations.

BODY RESERVES.
While the body is able to store vitamins such as A and E, autopsy data has shown that up to 30% of the population have “at risk” deficiences of vitamin A.

COFFEE, TEA & SPICES.
may irritate and inflame digestive linings, reducing digestive fluids and the absorption of vitamins and minerals from food.

CONVENIENCE FOODS.
Diets with a high percentage of highly refined carbohydrates such as sugar, white flour and white rice require greater demand for additional sources of B complex vitamins to process these carbohydrates.

CROP NUTRIENT LOSSES.
Research has shown that intensive agriculture has overworked and depleted our soil of trace elements resulting in decreased vitamins and minerals available in food crops.

DIETS.
Unsupervised, abnormal diets which exclude entire food groups or even low fat diets can be deficient in vitamins and minerals. Vegetarian diets, which exclude meats and animal sources, must be careful to balance amino acids and include vitamin B12.

FOOD PROCESSING.
Highly processed breads and oils, as well as frozen foods, may increase shelf life of products but can lower nutrient levels, especially the important anti-oxidant vitamins A and E which defend against oxidation damage to all tissues.

LIGHT EATERS.
Individuals who eat sparingly, including the average woman who maintains her weight at 1800 calories per day, have been shown to be low in thiamine, calcium and iron.

ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES.
Oral contraceptives, taken by a significant percentage of women, increase the need for folic acid, B6, C, riboflavin and zinc.

P.M.S.
Up to 60% of women may suffer from premenstrual tension such as headaches, irritability, bloatedness, breast tenderness, lethargy and depression, and have an increased need for amino acids and B complex vitamins.

SMOKING.
A smoker has greatly increased metabolic requirements for the important anti-oxidant and immune function provided by vitamin C.

STRESS.
Chemical, physical and emotional stress increase the need for amino acids, the B complex vitamins, and vitamins C and E.

Creatine Monohydrate is a product that has recently generated astounding results and excitement among athletes around the world.

Offset Fatigue for Awesome Workouts
            Creatine supplementation has been shown in several research journals including Clinical Science and Annual Review of Biochemistry, to increase muscle stores of Creatine by as much as 50%.  Increases in Creatine content in muscle has delayed the onset of muscular fatigue, enabling powerful workouts without the perceived fatigue usually associated with an intense training.

Muscle Energy
            Most athletes have heard of ATP -- Adenonsine Triphospate -- from which energy is derived during daily activity and exercise. In the body,  Creatine is a part of what is known as the Creatine Phosphogen system, which helps to maintain high intracellular ATP/ADP.  As your body consumes ATP, the energy is created when the molecule gives up its phosphate component.  When this occurs the power needed to generate an intense muscle contraction is created.  The resultant power enables the capacity to train harder and longer, including heavier lifts.  Lack of Creatine in the body has been shown to be the major limiting factor for the continuation of physical effort.

Buffer Lactic Acid Buildup
            The studies performed by the scientific community have shown the Creatine Monohydrate taken several times a day can increase total Creatine content in the muscle.  Another benefit of Creatine Monohydrate is that it can help buffer lactic acid buildup; lactic acid buildup can limit the duration of any training session.
            Research has also indicated that vegetarians and athletes who eat small quantities of meat may take in little or no dietary Creatine.  These athletes tend to have lower plasma and urinary levels of Creatine and may have dramatic results with Creatine supplementation.

Two Phases:  Loading and Maintaining
            Further research has supported a rationale for a two phase Creatine supplementation program.   Phase One is a muscle loading program in which muscle tissue is saturated with 20-30 grams of Creatine per day for three days.
Phase 2 is a muscle creatine maintenance program of 1-3 grams per day.
            In summary, Creatine increases the body's regenerative production of ATP--the body's ultimate fuel source of muscle contraction, elevated energy and strength, as well as improved recovery.  ATP also prevents muscle fatigue and enables prolonged intensity, greater strength and may significantly increase muscle size.

DHEA – Rejuvaplex

A potent new formula with 50 mg dehydroepiandrosterone, 350 mg of pure L-Glutamine and 50 mcg of sublingual crystalline Vitamin B12 – each pharmaceutical grade, free molecule.

DHEA – Dehydroepiandrosterone

DHEA is the body’s most abundant naturally occurring hormone, converting to or stimulating the production of estrogens, testosterone, progesterone and many other hormones as the body needs them. The body’s production of DHEA decreases with age after 25. Called the “Fountain of Youth” hormone by many experts, DHEA has been the subject of over 2000 studies and may have numerous positive effects on the body:

• Reduce body fat
• Increase muscle mass
• Regulate hormones, maintaining optimum levels and balance of hormones
• Increase IGF-1, a growth hormone
• Increase vitality
• Balance insulin
• Curb appetite
• Relieve stress
• Strengthen bones
• Improve and maintain brain function

Over the last decade, studies have demonstrated that declining levels of DHEA are linked to such conditions as diabetes, obesity, elevated cholesterol levels, heart disease, arthritis, and other age-related health conditions.

Vitamin B-12 Synergist: Enhance Muscle Synthesis, Offset Fatigue and Energize

Vitamin B-12 promotes muscle tissue protein synthesis and is critical in the formation of red blood cells. It also increases and improves learning rate and ability by increasing RNA synthesis in brain neurons. Vitamin B-12 is very poorly absorbed through the stomach. The sublingual form of Vitamin B-12, crystalline cyanocobalamin, bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the oral mucosa, providing superior utilization. This sublingual form is similar to receiving a Vitamin B-12 injection, which has long been used to rejuvenate, to offset fatigue and increase energy.

L-Glutamine Synergist: Critical to Muscle Growth

L-Glutamine promotes muscle tissue protein synthesis, increasing lean muscle tissue and muscle mass, while reducing the catabolic effect of stress hormones related to rigorous exercise and mental stress.  L-Glutamine is normally depleted by physical and mental stress. Research indicates strenuous exercise consistently decreases intramuscular L-Glutamine concentrations. Because the stress of rigorous training exerts a catabolic effect, the decrease in intramuscular
L-Glutamine appears to be the biochemical mechanism by which stress decreases lean muscle mass.

Four Times the Fat Loss – Eight Times the Mass

A six week double blind study conducted on over 140 weight training subjects indicated those subjects supplementing with L-Glutamine averaged a two per cent reduction in body fat in six weeks versus an average of one-half per cent reduction in body fat by the group taking the placebo. Four times as effective for reducing body fat! Furthermore, those using L-Glutamine averaged an increase in lean muscle mass of four to eight pounds in six weeks versus an average increase of one-half to one pound by those in the control group. Eight times as effective for increasing lean muscle mass.

Brain Fuel

L-Glutamine is also known for its positive effects:

• As a brain fuel improving memory and clarity
• Reducing craving for alcohol and sweets

Anti-Oxidant

L-Glutamine raises blood level of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, and appears to do so much more efficiently than taking glutathione. This strong anti-oxidant free radical scavenger helps minimize free radical release that accompanies rigorous exercise.

Direct Absorption: Sublingual for Efficacy and Safety

As a 100% Pharmaceutical Grade nutrient formula, Rejuvaplex is best taken sublingually, under the tongue. The sublingual delivery ensures the maximum absorption, utilization and safety. Sublingual DHEA is absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the blood vessels under the tongue and in the cheeks, bypassing digestion and liver processing.

High intensity training is the fast track to strength gains and muscle mass -- to a point.   Overtraining and exhaustive workouts can lead to muscle tissue breakdown: inhibiting  muscle protein synthesis and activating protein catabolism, actually impeding growth.  Amino Nitro Max's advanced high nitrogen formula contains crucial crystalline free from amino acids to prevent tissue catabolism, to enhance tissue repair, recovery, endurance and growth.
L-Glutamine
            L-Glutamine is highest free form amino acid found in muscle.  Research is replete with studies conveying  the importance of muscle glutamine levels in regulating muscle protein synthesis and catabolism.  Numerous studies have unequivocaly  documented L-Glutamine's ability to increase nitrogen and preserve skeletal muscle mass in patients suffering from burns, trauma, sepsis, cancer and other catabolic conditions.  L-Glutamine is anti-catabolic and is considered a powerful anabolic amino acid.

BCAA's:  L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine
            L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine (BCAA's) are metabolized directly  inside muscle tissue and  are a source of metabolic energy, in the form of Adenosine Triphophate (ATP).  BCAA's are critical for two of the most desired results in sports performance:  energy production for muscular work and anabolic processes within muscle cells.  L-Leucine stimulates the release and activation of growth hormone and insulin, and thus exerts direct anabolic effects.  BCAA's dramatically increase protein synthesis and decrease protein breakdown in muscles.

Tuarine and L-Alanine
            Taurine is the second highest concentration free amino acid found in muscle tissue.  Taurine is an important  constituent of muscle tissue fiber and is powerful in offseting muscle tissue turnover and breakdown.  L-Alanine is crucial for maintaining blood glucose levels.

OKG -  L-Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate
             Numerous clinical and laboratory trials of supplementary OKG have demonstrated  anabolic effects:  increased nitrogen retention and increased lean body mass in patients recovering from burns, trauma, or other conditions associated with abnormal muscle catabolism.  OKG accomplishes nitrogen retention in three ways:  (1) enhances insulin with glucogon production within 60 minutes (2) enhances GH release and (3) reduces catabolism of amino acids, stabilizing pools of branched chain amino acids.  OKG has also been observed to dramatically increase the blood levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 -- one of the most important anabolic hormones.

Chromium Picolinate 
            Chromium Picolinate enhances  muscle building and fat loss by improving the efficiency of the important anti-catabolic hormone insulin.  It stimulates amino acid uptake, accelerates muscle tissue protein synthesis and prevents muscle protein breakdown.
