Get This Essential Workout Formula - Shabbazz Organics LLC

This Essential Workout Formula is a recipe of essential amino acids and minerals that I’ve formulated for the purpose of helping individuals interested in building a more perfect body.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine): (part of the 9 Essential amino acid group I’ll be adding below – just showing it is a part of this blend.)

Play a role in muscle protein synthesis and can be used for energy during exercise.

Citrulline:

Can increase blood flow, potentially enhancing performance during exercise.

Citrulline for Exercise Performance

Citrulline may help improve exercise performance and reduce muscle soreness after exercising. It fuels muscles by boosting nitric oxide production to increase blood flow for greater oxygen and nutrient delivery. Muscles work more effectively when oxygenated and replenished.

Taking NO boosting supplements like citrulline may allow individuals to work out harder for longer. Citrulline also helps build lean muscle by stimulating protein synthesis and preventing the breakdown of amino acids that also help build muscle. Citrulline also clears away waste products that contribute to muscle fatigue.

Beta-Alanine:

Can improve muscular endurance and reduce muscle fatigue by buffering the buildup of acid in muscles during intense exercise.

Boosts muscle carnosine levels to buffer lactic acid during intense exercise.
Delays muscle fatigue during high-intensity training to improve workout performance, endurance, and strength.
May enhance lean muscle gains over time.
Inhibits processes that contribute to aging, including protein alteration, protein misfolding, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation.
Acts as an antioxidant and protects the nervous system by supporting enzymes like SOD and reducing damage to proteins and fats.

Glutamine (GLN):

Can be used as fuel by rapidly growing cells, including immune cells, and is involved in glucose synthesis.

Glutamine and the Immune System

Glutamine acts as a fuel source for leukocytes, a type of white blood cell that defends the body against diseases.

Leukocytes prefer glutamine over glucose for energy, as glutamine provides faster energy. Leukocytes can’t synthesize glutamine and must obtain it from other tissues or dietary sources. Insufficient glutamine can compromise immune functioning.

Glutamine for Muscle Soreness and Exercise Performance

Athletes may benefit from adding glutamine supplements to their pre workout drink. One study found that glutamine supplements helped athletes recover faster following intense exercise.

The same study reported that glutamine reduced muscle soreness after exercise.

Another clinical trial noted that glutamine reduced inflammation caused by intense aerobic exercise. A faster recovery, reduced inflammation, and less soreness after exercise may allow athletes to train harder with less downtime between workouts.

Glutamine can also help attenuate exercise-induced damage to immune cells.

Magnesium:

This mineral is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of cells. Magnesium deficiency can lead to fatigue and weakness.

Zinc:

Zinc is essential for cell growth, immune function, and metabolism. It plays a role in energy production and physical performance.

9 Essential Amino Acids

Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine

Muscle Growth and Repair: EAAs are fundamental to muscle protein synthesis, aiding in muscle growth and repair, particularly after intense exercise. Leucine is particularly important to drive this process, stimulating the mTOR pathway to promote muscle building.

Enhanced Athletic Performance: EAAs help boost athletic performance and reduce fatigue during and after physical activity by supporting muscle recovery and reducing exercise-induced muscle damage. EAAs can also reduce perceived exertion during exercise.

Immune System Support: EAAs facilitate antibody and immune cell production, helping to maintain a robust immune system.

Metabolic Health: EAAs participate in various metabolic pathways that influence energy production, fat metabolism, and blood sugar regulation.

Mood and Cognitive Function: Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin neurotransmitters that help regulate mood and cognitive function. Numerous studies show that tryptophan can improve mood and relieve apprehensive feelings.
