Animal Juiced Amino

At Animal, we believe in the basics. In an industry that sells you a flashy dream, we strive at all times to keep it real. And just like you know the brand new chrome-plated leg extension contraption at your local fitness megaplex will never replace the barbell squat, you know the slick marketing of the latest nutrition fad likely can’t hold a candle to the staples. There’s a reason weightlifting athletes have been supplementing with amino acids for more than half a century. Because they work. The building blocks of protein, the foundational fuel for all muscle tissue growth, there’s nothing more crucial.

That said, if an amino product was going to be Animal, if it were going to garner that trusted stamp of approval, and reach that threshold of no-nonsense excellence, it would need to be serious. Efficacious doses of the most critical anabolic amino acids—BCAAs and EAAs, gassed up by the inclusion of premium, prized, patented complementary amino compounds, delicious, refreshing taste allowing for ease of use… All with no unnecessary fillers or frills. Just the basics, instantized for easy mixing, delivered raw and uncut from the name you’ve trusted since 1983. That’s Animal Juiced Aminos.

The all-new Animal Juiced Aminos is a powerful amino acid stack that is targeted and strategically enhanced for strength training athletes. What does it contain? Each jacked-up scoop of Juiced Aminos is loaded with instantized branch chained amino acids (BCAA), essential amino acids (EAA), in addition to performance and recovery aminos and key patented aminos. Let’s run through ‘em below.

Animal Juiced Aminos contains a scientifically tested 2:1:1 ratio of BCAA in instantized form. What does instantized mean? It means that the BCAA in Juiced Aminos are able to quickly disperse in water and not clump up. Juiced Aminos can be quickly mixed up in a shaker cup or even with a just a spoon and water. And BCAA are as tried and true as it gets when it comes to aminos. They have both anabolic and anti-catabolic benefits. BCAA are anabolic because of their ability to significantly increase protein synthesis, support hormones such as growth hormone, IGF-1 and insulin, and also help to maintain a favorable testosterone to cortisol ratio.* On the anti-catabolic side, BCAA can help prevent protein breakdown and muscle loss. Bodybuilders and athletes because of the fact that they train hard and often follow strict dieting protocols, have a great need for supplement with BCAA. The three amino acids that constitute the BCAA are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. Led by Leucine, the trigger of the anabolic drive, this trio of protein building blocks is proven to build muscle, maintain lean mass when in a caloric deficit, improve endurance and boost recovery—properties absolutely vital to dedicated physique artists of all levels of experience.

Next up in Juiced Aminos are the additional essential amino acids (EAA). The BCAA make up three of the naturally occurring EAA, but with Juiced Aminos, you get a full, comprehensive EAA profile. It’s designed to deliver the correct ratios of key essential amino acids required for igniting the anabolic drive via increased muscle protein synthesis and decreased muscle protein breakdown. Research suggests that following resistance exercise, only EAA are needed to spark protein synthesis as the non-essential amino acids (NEAA) are not required. What makes Juiced Aminos superior to other amino products is that it contains the right forms of EAA. By using only special free form EAA, Juiced Aminos delivers those critical aminos fast to your muscles.

That covers the EAA and BCAA. But Juiced Aminos doesn’t stop there. This powerful formula is rounded out by a mixture of additional performance and recovery-based amino acids, called the Juiced AA Performance Blend. These ergogenic amino acids, along with the BCAA and EAA, help to not only maximize gym performance but also promote recovery at the same time.* Citrulline malate has been suggested to support plasma arginine levels and nitric oxide even more efficiently than arginine itself. The physiological effect of boosting NO as citrulline malate does, allows for better regulation of blood flow and amino acid delivery to muscle tissue, improved oxygen delivery, enhanced glucose uptake and muscle strength. Citrulline malate also plays a role in reduced lactic acid and ammonia buildup, optimized ATP production, decreased muscle fatigue and helps promote endurance. At the forefront of essential amino acid research and development with the launch of Animal Nitro in 2004, Animal has been touting and standing behind the undeniable muscle-building benefits of EAAs for more than a decade.

A no-brainer addition to Animal Juiced Aminos was L-glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in the body. It comprises more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and greater than 20% of total circulating amino acids and is
