These convenient packets of great-tasting granulated powder deliver branched-chain amino acids, arginine, glutamine plus 10 key vitamins and minerals. Consume directly from the packet and chase with water or juice for accelerated recovery — with much less soreness — even after the toughest workouts.

Energizes, While Combating Fatigue

Rich in BCAAs as well as arginine and glutamine, Amino Vital delivers the power your muscles need for sustained exertion. Studies also show that this unique combination of amino acids results in lower creatine kinase (CK-MM) levels in the bloodstream, which can be a symptom of muscle damage and exhaustion.

Increases Fat Burning with Exercise

Amino Vital encourages fat burning by helping your muscles perform at peak efficiency and thus burn more fat calories. Over the long term, an increased muscle-to-fat ratio results in a higher metabolism, making it much easier to take — and keep — weight off.

Helps Maintain Focus During Workouts

A plentiful supply of BCAAs supports the psychological effect of "focus" during exercise. When your body is low on BCAAs, there's a relative increase in production of the potent brain neurotransmitter serotonin, which makes you feel sleepy and unfocused. Amino Vital ensures optimum levels of BCAAs, so serotonin won't get in the way of workout.

Encourages Muscle Recovery & Repair

Amino Vital provides the nutrients — BCAAs, arginine and glutamine — your muscles need to rebuild themselves faster with less soreness. Arginine also helps remove toxins that accumulate during muscle exertion. The result, as serious athletes report, is much quicker recovery, with greatly reduced soreness, stiffness and fatigue after even the most strenuous workouts.
