Essential amino acids

To tell you more about how EAAs work, let's start with a short explanation about amino acids. These are the building blocks that make up proteins. There are two types of amino acids, the essential and non-essential amino acids. The essentials cannot be produced by our body, but must be obtained through food or dietary supplements. You need this as a building block for your body's own protein. With our EAA food supplements you can be sure that you are getting enough of these essential amino acids. These essential amino acids are: phenylalanine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.

Benefits of EAAs

You need essential amino acids and cannot be produced by the body itself, that is clear. But what exactly is the effect of EAAs on your body? And perhaps more importantly, what are the benefits of EAAs?

EAAs ensure healthy muscles. They not only promote muscle growth, but also reduce the breakdown of muscle mass. With the help of EAAs you can work on rebuilding lean muscle mass and EAAs also contribute to the maintenance of normal bones.

Did you know that EAAs are not only beneficial for athletes, but the elderly can also benefit from them? For example, a high leucine content in food also has a positive effect on protein synthesis for the elderly. Just like athletes, the elderly also have a higher need for proteins, because muscle breakdown as you get older goes faster than muscle building.

BCAA or EAA: Which is the Best Choice for You?

EAA is sometimes confused with BCAA. BCAA stands for Branched Chain Amino Acids. What is the difference between these two and which is the best choice for you? We are happy to explain it to you!

BCAA consists of about 40% essential amino acids, these are leucine, isoleucine and valine. You can also get these amino acids through food, but for avid athletes, extra supplements are often necessary to get enough. Unlike BCAA, EAA contains nine essential amino acids. The best choice for you depends on your training goal. If you are not sure about this, we are happy to help you with the choice! In addition to EAAs, our range also includes various types of BCAAs .
