Was bringen essentielle Aminosäuren EAA der Muskulatur beim Sport?

What is the meaning of taking essential amino acids EAAs during sport?

As building blocks of protein, amino acids are crucial for building muscle and repairing tissue. After intensive training, they help to repair damaged muscle tissue and promote muscle growth. Even more, the intake already during exercise accelerates recovery. The branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine are associated with improved recovery after training, as they initiate muscle protein synthesis.

Why EAAs are important for muscles and workouts

Some amino acids can be produced by the body itself and are therefore called non-essential. While others - the essential amino acids (EAAs) - need to be ingested through food or dietary supplements so that the body can maintain and fulfil all its functions. During intensive physical activity such as endurance or strength training, the body also uses muscle protein and thus breaks down muscle mass. Providing sufficient energy and amino acids can help to minimise this muscle breakdown. Some amino acids, especially L-glutamine, serve as food for the intestinal flora, which supports the immune system. The body is particularly susceptible to infections after intensive workouts or during periods of stress. An adequate supply of high-quality proteins directly after training supports the immune system. Taking EAAs can help to optimise athletic performance by supporting training and regeneration capacity for endurance, strength and overall performance.

EAA powder, BCAA capsules & more: our amino tips

Add L-GLUTAMINE and/or BCAA INSTANT to protein or recovery shakes to support regeneration, the immune system and muscle maintenance. Add BCAA INSTANT powder to sports drinks or protein shakes to delay the breakdown of the body's own protein structures during weight training and endurance training and to maintain muscle mass. Use AMINO EAA tablets with essential amino acids in strength and endurance training to support muscle building and muscle maintenance, as AMINO EAA covers the need for all essential amino acids with a low-calorie intake. Use AMINO 12500 Shot with 12.5 g amino acids per serving in a rapidly available form: Bodybuilders take one ampoule before training or with a protein shake after the session. Endurance athletes take a shot every two to three hours during exercise (bike ride, long jog, etc.) or immediately after hard training.

Frequently asked questions about EAAs & essential amino acids

AMINO EAA from SPONSER contains the eight essential amino acids L-leucine, L-lysine, L-valine, L-isoleucine, L-isoleucine, L-threonine, L-phenylalanine, L-methionine, L-tryptophan and the three amino acids that are categorised as semi-essential: L-tyrosine, L-histidine and L-cysteine. All amino acids are present in free form. Ideal for strength and endurance athletes who do not want to consume additional calories. Dosage and ideal amount to take: one portion before and one portion after exercise.

AMINO EAA is vegan and therefore suitable for anyone on a plant-based diet. The following supplements are also free from animal-derived ingredients: EAA INSTANT, BCAA CAPSULES, BCAA INSTANT, BETA ALANINE, CARNIPURE and L-GLUTAMINE.

EAA INSTANT is a tasty amino acid drink powder that provides 11 essential and conditionally essential amino acids in free form. The drink is equally suitable for strength and endurance athletes who want to limit their protein supply to the essentials and do not want to consume additional calories. One serving of EAA INSTANT contains only 1.2 g of carbohydrates and 0 g of fat.

The rule of thumb for sports is 20-30 g of protein or 10-15 g of EAAs per intake or meal. Those who train particularly intensively can also consider a higher dosage. In any case, the basis is a balanced and varied diet that is rich in natural sources of protein and EAAs.

If you exercise as part of a diet or fasting programme, your body runs the risk of falling into an energy deficit during training and breaking down muscle protein. We recommend AMINO 12500 to prevent the «self-destruction» of the muscles and to protect them quickly and effectively already during exercise. The highly concentrated amino acid shot with 12.5 g of amino acids and peptides in a rapidly available form helps to maintain a more even protein balance during exercise.

BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) are a special group within the EAAs. BCAAs include the amino acids valine, isoleucine and leucine. In contrast to the other amino acids, which are mainly metabolised in the liver, our body breaks down BCAAs directly in the muscle. They are therefore not only involved in building muscle, but also serve the muscle cells as an energy supplier and for energy production.
