Amino acids are essential components in the human body and are also known as the building blocks of life. The totality of all the different proteins in a living being is called the proteome. The human proteome consists of between 500,000 and 1,000,000 long amino acid chains.

The human organism is a permanent construction site where amino acids are the most valuable, but non-storable building material. Newborns receive the optimal mixture through their mother's milk. Absorbed through food, they serve the entire organism as a source of energy and building material for protein, the body's own receptors, enzymes, neurotransmitters, hormones, muscle building and much more.

Proteinogenic amino acids are typically divided into non-essential and essential amino acids. Nine of them cannot be produced by the body itself. These are therefore also referred to as essential amino acids and can only be ingested through food or dietary supplements.

Proteins are the essential components in the human body. They are needed for the formation of structures, functions as well as the regulation of every body cell, tissue and all organs. Amino acids are used in the body to build proteins. Each protein consists of a specific string of them. How they are arranged is stored in the DNA as a genetic code.

Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins. When protein-containing food is ingested, it is digested and broken down into individual amino acids. In this way, they can be absorbed by our body and used for its own building processes. Free amino acids, such as those contained in PRO'TECT and A'MIN, do not have to be broken down first, but can be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes and enter the bloodstream.

In general, anything that has calories is a meal. Even a coffee with sugar. Isolated amino acids, however, do not have to be digested and only become noticeable as food when the liver converts glucogenic amino acids – such as glutamine – into glucose. However, this is not always the case. A'MIN is occasionally allowed as a snack (separate from meals) during intermittent fasting, and can be taken after vigorous exercise, for example (which we even recommend).

Good physical resistance and energy, the right balance between effective training and recovery sessions, combined with a balanced and healthy diet, are important elements for performance improvement and muscle building in sports. Accordingly, amino acids play a crucial role. Unlike fat, they can hardly be stored. Then the body is faced with the choice of either not producing the necessary substance in sufficient quantities or sacrificing its own tissue. To prevent this from happening, it makes sense to regularly supply the body with essential amino acids through an appropriate diet.

Free amino acids can be consumed immediately after training and are available to the organism in a few minutes. In case of increased stress or low-protein diet, it is recommended to consume 5-6 g two times per day. An increase of the dosage recommendation in case of intensive exercise should be discussed with a doctor or therapist. Absorption is highest on an empty stomach (at least half an hour before eating). However, intake can occur at any time due to high bioavailability and no need for digestion.

Instead of isolated amino acids, humans consumed mainly proteins throughout their history so far. We need enzymes to break down protein into the individual amino acids. Stress and industrial food can inhibit these digestive enzymes by up to 90 %. (Caso, Leza, & Menchen, 2008) Studies have shown that on average we can only absorb 15 to 30 % of a protein shake. (Oben, Kothari, & Anderson, 2008) Free amino acids are absorbed quickly, are immediately usable by the body, and do not need to be digested. They can be consumed immediately after exercise and are available to the body in minutes. 

BCAAs help build and protect muscle. The abbreviation of BCAAs stands for Branched-Chain Amino Acids. These denote branched-chain amino acids, consisting for example of L-valine, L-leucine and isoleucine, which belong to the essential amino acids and are a very important source of energy, especially for the muscles.

Even though animal foods are often associated with high protein and amino acid content, obtaining amino acids for sports and fitness products does not necessarily rely on animal sources. Among other things, amino acid preparations can also be made from fermented vegetables and from plants.

The production takes place in Japan at the two best manufacturers in the world for fermented amino acids with pharmaceutical grade purity. We rely on the uncompromising quality of the world market leaders. The amino acids used are manufactured under cGMP conditions (current Good Manufacturing Practice, describes specifications for ensuring the product quality of drugs and active ingredients). In addition to the obligatory release tests, our products undergo regular independent quality controls at accredited laboratories (Kölner Liste, Eurofins, Fresenius) and comply with the pharmacopoeia guidelines.
