Amino iQ²

L-Leucine - Is often referred to as the ‘master’ branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) because it’s the most effective at activating mTOR, a pathway that induces muscle protein synthesis, muscle growth, and recovery.

L-Isoleucine & L-Valine - Are the other two of the three branched-chain amino acids that work synergistically to support increased muscle protein synthesis, muscle growth and recovery. Isoleucine has been shown to promote glucose consumption and uptake and has roles as an anti-catabolic agent without promoting synthesis, similar to HMB.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine – Also known as ACLAR, acetyl-L-carnitine has similar benefits to the amino acid L-carnitine but crosses the blood-brain barrier more efficiently. Carnitine creates energy from fat in the mitochondria of the cell and has been proven to reduce fatigue, improve mood, mental energy, brain function, decrease inflammation, boost circulation and improve overall focus.

L-Tyrosine - An amino acid that is used in the body to produce noradrenaline and the “feel-good hormone” dopamine. Tyrosine has been shown to reduce stress, increase focus, mood and memory.

Choline - A nootropic molecule that has been shown to boost cognitive function by increasing acetylcholine, a chemical often referred to as the “learning neurotransmitter”. Acetylcholine is used in the brain for nerve cells to transmit signals. Thus, acetylcholine plays a crucial role in many brain functions such as learning, focus, memory and mood.

Deanol - Also known as DMAE, increases the production of acetylcholine, a chemical that helps nerve cells transmit signals. It can also protect neurons and other cells from the harmful effects of certain types of oxidation by acting as an antioxidant.

Caffeine - Classified as a nootropic because it sensitizes neurons in the brain and provides mental stimulation. Caffeine has been proven to improve reaction time, alertness, memory and mood. Caffeine also works synergistically with other nootropics to enhance the overall experience.

Black Pepper - Proven to significantly increase the bioavailability of ingredients in dietary supplements.

Mix 1 scoop (9.3g) of AMINO-IQ² with 6-12 oz of cold water immediately before consumption and drink it 45-90 minutes before your workout or as a nootropic aid during periods requiring mental alertness.

Warning: If you are a tested athlete, it is your responsibility to check with your sporting organization’s rules and regulations or with designated athletics staff before using this or any supplement to be sure all ingredients are safe for your sport.
