The key to recovery, muscle repair & growth.

Muscle protein synthesis is vital for rebuilding and strengthening muscle fibers, a key part of the body's ongoing protein turnover process. This process involves the continuous breakdown and reconstruction of muscle proteins.

 

When the rate of muscle protein synthesis surpasses protein breakdown, muscle growth occurs. Essential Amino Acids are crucial in this equation—they are the building blocks that fuel the creation of new proteins. 

 

Effective Muscle Protein Synthesis, particularly after exercise or as we age, requires a reliable supply of these essential nutrients, highlighting the importance of adequate dietary intake or supplementation.

Why a Leucine-Enriched EAA Formula is Key to Better Performance

Why a Leucine-Enriched EAA Formula is Key to Better Performance

Faster Recovery

EAAs are the building blocks of protein, helping your muscles recover faster after intense workouts. Since your digestion slows with age, supplementation ensures that you’re getting highly potent supply of essential amino acids that absorb quickly—right when your body needs them.

Enhanced Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)

Leucine is a critical amino acid for muscle growth. Since your muscles oxidize leucine quickly, our leucine-enriched formula ensures there’s extra leucine to power Muscle Protein Synthesis, helping you maintain lean muscle mass as you age.

Improve Strength & Endurance

By providing your muscles with the necessary building blocks for repair and growth, EAAs allow you to maintain peak performance in activities like crossfit, running, cycling, and trail running—no matter your age.

Reduce Soreness & Boost Recovery

EAAs help reduce muscle soreness by accelerating the repair process post-exercise, allowing for quicker recovery and more consistent training.

THE ROLE OF EAA'S IN PROTEIN

Step 1:

The role of protein 

Protein is composed of essential amino acids (EAAs) and non-essential amino acids (NEAAs). When you consume protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs, or supplements like whey protein, your body breaks down and digests these proteins into individual amino acids before absorption. This step is crucial for muscle maintenance and overall bodily function.

Step 2:

The Role of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)

Research shows that while non-essential amino acids support various bodily functions, they do not play a direct role in muscle protein synthesis—the body's process for building and repairing muscle tissue. Only EAAs stimulate this vital process, acting as the true drivers of muscle growth and repair.

Step 3:

Why Supplement with Pure EAAs?

Supplementing with a pure EAA formula provides your body with the building blocks it needs for effective muscle repair and growth, without the unnecessary NEAAs that don’t contribute to muscle protein synthesis. This focused approach ensures that your muscles receive what they truly need, optimizing recovery and growth.

Step 4:

Superior Absorption & Utilization

 Our EAA formula is scientifically proven to be rapidly digested and absorbed, with an impressive utilization rate of up to 99%. This means a prolonged and more effective muscle protein synthesis response, leading to faster recovery, enhanced performance, and a steady boost in natural energy. The targeted nature of EAAs ensures that your muscles are continually stimulated, supporting peak physical function.

Step 5:

The Body’s Recycling Process

 When you supplement with EAAs, your body intelligently recycles non-essential amino acids from existing muscle tissue. The body has an abundant supply of NEAAs - especially if you have a good dietry intake of protein, and can efficiently reuse them, ensuring nothing goes to waste while maximizing the benefits of essential amino acid supplementation.

Bare Aminos compared with other protein sources.

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the core building blocks of protein. Unlike standard protein supplements that take time to digest, EAAs are rapidly absorbed and go straight to work. This means your muscles get what they need faster, helping you recover quicker and giving you more energy for your next workout.

 

Free form EAA's require no digestion and are rapidly absorbed into muscle tissue.  

Stimulates Muscle Protein Synthesis better than protein shakes.

Up to 99% Utilized to build new proteins. 

Leucine Enriched

Bare Aminos is enriched with extra Leucine—a key amino acid that plays a critical role in muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Studies show that Leucine is rapidly oxidized by muscles during exercise, which is why we’ve added more to ensure you get the maximum benefit. This means enhanced recovery and better muscle growth.

 

Churchward-Venne et al. (2012). 

 

Hypothesis: The study hypothesized that leucine-enriched EAAs could enhance muscle protein synthesis more significantly than EAAs alone after resistance exercise.

 

Overview & Findings: The findings confirmed the hypothesis, revealing that leucine-enriched EAAs significantly increase muscle protein synthesis rates post-exercise compared to standard EAA mixes. This effect was attributed to leucine's ability to activate the mTOR pathway, which is critical for muscle building. 

 

This study emphasizes the importance of leucine concentration in EAA supplements for athletes and individuals looking to maximize muscle recovery and growth.

Recommended by ISSN for Exercise & Recovery

The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) has released a position stand highlighting the benefits of essential amino acid (EAA) supplementation for exercise and performance. Drawing on numerous studies, they conclude that EAAs (especially in free-form) not only stimulate muscle protein synthesis more rapidly than certain intact protein sources (e.g., whey isolates) but also support greater gains in muscle mass, reduce muscle damage, and enhance recovery—particularly in older or clinical populations. 

 

The paper underscores that EAAs are safe, easily absorbed, and most effective when combined with exercise, due to an interactive effect in which activity-driven blood flow boosts EAA delivery to working muscles. 

 

  • ISSN-Approved: Backed by the International Society of Sports Nutrition’s official position
  • Faster Muscle Growth: Free-form EAAs stimulate muscle protein synthesis more effectively than some complete protein sources
  • Superior Recovery: Helps reduce exercise-induced muscle damage and shorten downtime
  • Ideal for All Ages: Proven safe and particularly beneficial in older or clinical populations with muscle weakness
  • Synergistic with Exercise: Maximize results by pairing EAAs with workouts to boost delivery and anabolic effects

FAQs

Got questions? We’ve got answer...

What are EAAs and why are they important?

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are amino acids that your body cannot produce on its own, so they must be obtained through diet. They are crucial for muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and overall athletic performance. Our Hydrating Aminos contains all 9 EAAs in optimal ratios.

How do electrolytes enhance hydration?

Electrolytes help regulate fluid balance in your body, enabling proper hydration at the cellular level. During exercise, you lose electrolytes through sweat. Our formula contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to replenish these essential minerals and maintain optimal hydration status.

Is this product suitable for vegans?

Yes, Bare Aminos is 100% plant-based and suitable for vegans. Our amino acids are derived from fermented plant sources rather than animal products.

How does this differ from BCAA supplements?

While BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) contain only 3 of the 9 Essential Amino Acids, our Hydrating Aminos contains all 9 EAAs plus electrolytes. Research shows that EAAs are more effective than BCAAs alone for muscle protein synthesis and recovery.

When is the best time to take Bare Aminos?

On training days, you can take Bare Aminos before, during or immediately after training. On none training days, you can take in the morning or inbetween meals.
