What are the key ingredients of Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy?

Leucine is largely considered the amino acid responsible for protein synthesis (muscle growth) and can be used directly by the body for energy when under stress. It can be very beneficial at regulating blood sugar levels, therefore, making it popular while people are dieting or on a calorie restricted diet.

Taurine is well known for being an ingredient in energy drinks. This is because it helps glucose flow to the muscles, which helps to produce more energy. Furthermore, it has been found that when taurine and caffeine are taken in conjunction, some studies have found improvement in mental performance. Taurine is an amino acid that also supports nerve growth and lowers blood pressure.

Caffeine improves mental focus and alertness. But there are many other health benefits that come with consuming caffeine. Caffeine has been found to increase endurance, leading to enhanced sports performance. It also has been proven to boost mood, improve the immune system and prevent some degenerative diseases. The caffeine in Main Optimum Nutrition Amino is a naturally occurring caffeine.

Citrulline is an amino acid that boosts the immune system and helps with heart and blood vessel health. Citrulline has been proven to widen blood vessels, allowing for better blood flow and improved circulation. Improved circulation promotes good health within the body and can help to prevent a number of heart related diseases.

Beta Alanine is another amino acid that is naturally produced within the body. Supplements included beta alanine can be taken to reap further health benefits of the amino acid.
