Amino acids are very important because they are the building blocks of protein. Your body uses amino acids for many bodily functions, including (but not necessarily limited to) making hormones, building muscle, and repairing tissue.
I started using an amino acid blend, NutraBio’s ‘Intra Blast,’ after having it recommended to me by my dad. The first time that I used it was in the middle of a weightlifting session, and I quickly noticed a difference. That is anecdotal evidence to be sure, but I have also recommended this blend to friends and family and they also say that it has benefited their fitness journeys.
Below is an embedded video of a recent product review that I posted on the Older Muscles YouTube channel focusing on the Intra Blast powder mix. The review also features a couple of other amino acid options that I compare to each other.
