iThrive Essentials EAA Protein Support is 100% pure EAAs including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) with the power of Creapure® Creatine, Glycine & AAKG in clinically studied ratios proven to naturally boost energy, improve cognitive performance, build lean muscle, and enhance athletic recovery.* iThrive Essentials EAA - Protein Support is sugar-free, additives/preservatives-free, vegan, non-GMO, soy-free, and gluten-free. Amino Acids are okay! But what's the role of Creatine, Glycine & AAKG in Everyday Aminos? We have added 2.5 gm of Creapure Creatine Monohydrate which is the most purest form of creatine that contains up to 99.99% creatine. Creatine is among the most well-studied and effective supplements for improving exercise performance. It does this mainly by increasing energy availability during high-intensity activity. Creatine also provides cognitive and mental health benefits when taken apart from workouts. Glycine is included because we simply need it in higher quantities because of a lot of important functions it plays in the body. Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid with a number of important functions in the body. Glycine acts as a neurotransmitter, a component of collagen, and as a precursor to various biomolecules (e.g., creatine, heme), among other roles. AAKG (Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate) is included for superior amino acid absorption and bioavailability. Suggested Use: Dissolve 1 sachet (11 gm) into 200-300 ml of room temperature water/fruit juice/smoothie of your choice & consume 1-2 times daily between meals, post-workout or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. Note - Because it doesn't have any sweetener, masker, or flavor, it might taste bitter (As amino acids are bitter in taste). We would suggest using it in smoothies or shakes if you don't like the taste. People who have insulin resistance or blood sugar issues should consume it in plain water to get additional blood sugar control benefits.
