Amino Acid Synergy
Product information
Designs for Health Amino Acid Synergy™ is a high-quality formula containing free, essential amino acids (EAAs) in capsule form. The product is designed to support protein status, muscle building, and the maintenance of lean body mass, particularly for people who have difficulty consuming or digesting sufficient complete proteins.
What is Amino Acid Synergy™?
Amino Acid Synergy™ provides essential amino acids in a free form , meaning they don't require digestion and are immediately available for absorption. This allows them to be used quickly and efficiently by the body for muscle building, recovery, and protein metabolism, among other things.
The formula also contains alpha-ketoglutarate and vitamin B6 (P-5-P) to further support amino acid metabolism and bioavailability.
What are essential amino acids?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, but also play a role in the production of neurotransmitters, enzymes, hormones and immune substances.
Of the 20 amino acids, the body can only produce 10 itself. The remaining 10 are essential and must be supplied through food or supplements.
Because the body doesn't store amino acids, a daily supply is essential. A deficiency can cause the body to break down its own tissues, such as muscle and bone, to release essential amino acids.
Benefits of Amino Acid Synergy™
The health claims below are pending approval by EFSA.
Essential amino acids can contribute to:
- Supporting muscle health and protein status*
- The maintenance of fat-free (lean) muscle mass*
- Muscle protein synthesis*
- Limiting age-related muscle loss*
- Recovery of amino acid status after physical exertion*
- Support for insufficient protein intake*
*Health claims pending approval by the European Commission
Why alpha-ketoglutarate and vitamin B6?
Alpha-ketoglutarate plays a role in energy production within cells and supports endurance and energy metabolism.
Vitamin B6 (P-5-P) is essential for amino acid metabolism and involved in processes such as neurotransmitter formation (e.g. dopamine) and collagen synthesis.
Factors such as alcohol consumption, coffee and certain medications can affect B6 metabolism, so additional support may be useful.
