AMINOx™ is designed to support:
The carbohydrate is your body’s preferred source of energy. Your body can most efficiently turn a carbohydrate into ATP, which is your body’s form of energy. Carbohydrates consist of sugar molecules and exist in simple and complex forms. The difference between a simple and complex carbohydrate lies within the molecular makeup of the carbohydrate.
Think of carbohydrates as chains of sugar molecules. For the body to use these chains, the chain needs to be broken apart into single links (glucose molecules). The longer the chain, the more complex the carbohydrate, because the longer it takes the body to breakdown the chain and utilize the individual links. These chains can also be branched as well, similar to the branches on a tree. The more branched, the more complex as well.
A basic example of a simple sugar is a single glucose molecule. There is no chain, only the single molecule of glucose. An example of a more complex carbohydrate is maltodextrin, which consists of a chain of glucose molecules. Maltodextrin is still fairly simple, but it is more complex than a single glucose molecule alone.
Why does this matter? Well, the simpler the carb, the more dramatic effect it has on your body as a result of its digestion. If you want immediate energy to burn, simple is the way to go. But for times when you aren’t going to be burning your carbs you ingest immediately, complex is best. I can elaborate on this further if you’d like, just email your questions.
Simple carbs can be found in foods such as soda, candy, white bread, white pasta, fruit juice, and white rice. Complex carbs can be found in whole wheat breads, wheat pasta, fibrous vegetables, and brown rice.
For all goal oriented fit people who crave for carbs and cheat from time to time, eating a Pizza or a plate of pasta, there is the solution:

From building muscle to keeping your immune system running strong, get your body what it needs with amino acids.*
Some of the major areas amino acids can support are:
Make sure to help supplement the protein in your diet by making good use of an amino acid product.
There are many amino acids, and one cannot stress enough the importance of having proper amounts of them in your diet. Whether a limiting nutrient such as a BCAA or one of the many other types of amino acids, all are important for general health as well as physical goals such as building muscle or losing fat.* Any house must have a foundation, so make sure yours is strong with amino acids.
However, keep an eye out for the source your amino acids are derived from in order to make sure the product fits your requirements. Amino acids are commonly derived from meats, fish, vegetables, dairy, or legumes.

| Branched-chain amino acids are three specific amino acids – leucine, isoleucine and valine – that are part of the nine essential amino acids. An interesting aspect of BCAAs is that they are metabolized in the muscle tissue, not the liver. For this reason, BCAAs lend themselves readily to help support muscle recovery as well as offsetting muscle breakdown.* Most notably, leucine has many novel anabolic properties.* Along with stimulating muscle protein synthesis, leucine may also activate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which is responsible for regulating cell growth.* | In addition to delivering the all-important BCAAs, AMINOX™ also contains the essential amino acids L-Taurine, L-Citrulline and L-Alanine. The amino acid citrulline is known for its promotion of nitric oxide production, while taurine promotes the uptake of nutrients into the muscle cells and alanine is known to convert to pyruvate in the body which may help aid in the production of glucose during intense training.* |

| To further amplify the blend, AMINOX™ is an effervescent formula. The use of an effervescent delivery system in this instantized formula allows nutrients to be absorbed rapidly and completely – not to mention the convenience of never having to deal with clumping during mixing.* | With zero calories and zero grams of sugar, this non-caffeinated, instantized amino acid formula is an ideal recovery support agent that can be used anytime, day or night.* |
