The moment you step into a gym, you’ll hear 2 different opinions:
“Take Aminos, they’re essential”
“Aminos are useless “… So which one right?
Let’s break it down in simple words.
What Aminos actually do, and whether you really need them.
- What are Aminos? (BCAA & EAA)
Amino Acids aren’t magic, they do have a real role when used correctly.
They are the building blocks your body uses to create protein.
How do they work?
When you consume protein (like Whey), your body breaks it down into amino acids before absorbing it.
Amino supplements provide these amino acids in a ready to use form, allowing faster absorption.
- What do Aminos actually do
Aminos are not a replacement for protein or food.
During intense workouts, your body produces signals that make you feel fatigued because your brain secretes a substance called Serotonin, which makes you feel lethargic and fatigued (Central Fatigue).
Aminos, specifically BCAAs, can help delay this fatigue by preventing Serotonin from entering its receptors. This helps you stay focused and train longer.
- The Real Question- Do you really need Aminos?
The answer is yes if:
. If you train fasted
. Your workouts are long and highly intense
. You experience fatigue or slow recovery
- Common Myths:
. “Aminos are a substitute for protein and build muscle on their own”—- Not true.
Aminos are not a substitute for your Whey protein scoop or your meals. Their main function is recovery and protecting your muscle fibers from breakdown (Anti-Catabolism). Aminos shorten recovery time, provide “backup fuel” for your muscles, and prevent DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) that leaves you feeling stiff and unable to climb stairs the day after a workout.
Think of Aminos as support and no the main source of protein.
. “Aminos cause kidney damage”—- Not true for healthy individuals.
Aminos are safe for healthy individuals when used properly and with adequate hydration (3-4 liters of water a day).
It is “digested” protein, meaning your kidneys handle it just like a piece of steak—only more elegant and easier to process.
. “Aminos cause hair loss”—- No evidence.
They do not interfere with hormones or genetic.
. “Aminos cause tingling feeling” —-It can happen.
If you take a product like Amino Energy and feel a “prickling” or tingling sensation in your face, don’t worry. This is the effect of Beta-Alanine, proving the supplement is authentic and active in your system.
Pharmaceutical Tip:
If you are consuming a high-quality whey protein, you’re likely getting a solid dose of BCAAs with every scoop.
iFIT Quality Standard
Why the Source Matters
Commercial Fraud: The biggest issue in the market is product authenticity and quality.
Some counterfeit supplements are fake and exact copy of the real products from the outside, the products may:
. contain less active ingredients as stated
. not stored properly, in the right conditions indicated for the product. This can affect its quality.
At iFit, products are sourced from trusted suppliers that ensures you get what you pay for.
Proper Storage with Pharmaceutical Standards:
Aminos have “weak” chemical bonds that need to be stored in controlled temperature of 25°C, otherwise the molecules break down and become “useless powder.”
At iFIT, storage is handled according to pharmaceutical standards that ensures the quality of the product remains the same till it reaches your doorsteps.
Authenticity Guarantee:
We stand behind the authenticity of every product we sell. If a product is proven non- authentic, we compensate you with 5x the product price.
iFIT- Your Safety Shield.
⚠️ Pharmaceutical Warning (iFIT Medical Integrity):
Beta-Alanine Interaction: If you have heart conditions or extreme sensitivities, note that Beta-Alanine causes Paresthesia (tingling). While safe for the healthy, consult your physician if you have a medical history.
Summary: Aminos are a powerful “weapon” for endurance and recovery, provided they are authentic and stored correctly. Don’t gamble with your health.
