Leg Resistance Exercise Study

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel study; 20 healthy young males (aged 20-40 years)

Results: Supplementation with 5g essential amino acids⁺ increased muscle protein synthesis by 77.1% compared to baseline after one bout of acute resistance exercise in participants.¹

^†Although the essential amino acid blend used in this study was not Amino-9 Essentials^™ Powder, we expect our product to have similar results as the functions of essential amino acids are similar.

Lower Body Resistance Exercise Study

Randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled parallel study; 20 recreationally active males

Results: Supplementation with 4g essential amino acids⁺ moderately reduced muscle damage in participants when administered before resistance exercise when compared to placebo.²
