AminoDEX 120 tablets YAMAMOTO

Yamamoto® Nutrition AminoDEX is a food supplement made with essential amino acids of plant origin

AminoDEX's unique feature lies in its sourcing from plant-based ingredients, which makes this amino acid pool considered "pharmaceutical purity." They are not peptides; they are free-form amino acids that enter the bloodstream and muscles much more quickly than any other protein source. All of this contributes to significantly improved nitrogen utilization.

AminoDEX also contains the dipeptide L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, which adds further value to the product. Involved in the exchange of nitrogen between tissues and in the production and storage of glucose, it also plays a crucial role in hydrating muscle cells.

The function of essential amino acids

If we were to rate a basic supplement to aid recovery and muscle rebuilding, amino acids would receive top marks, so much so that we strongly desired these essential "building blocks" for synthesizing new proteins to be part of the Yamamoto® Nutrition line. Let's first consider their function. The most important nutrient to take post-workout to trigger recovery processes is protein, and in "more metabolic" and ready-to-use terms, the most ideal choice for the body at that time are essential amino acids. They are what it "seeks," what it "needs," and they are, in fact, ESSENTIAL for the synthesis of new proteins. Suffice it to say that just 6 grams of essential amino acids can have a real effect on protein synthesis, and this can be applied to any goal an athlete wishes to pursue, from carb-restricted diets for weight loss to those consuming high calories for muscle building. The "plastic" activity occurs. And always focusing on recovery and how to promote it, I once again sought to find a sort of amino acid excellence that could be the ideal choice to deliver to the muscles during such a delicate and complex "peri-workout" moment, where for every action of any nutrient there is a correlated biochemical reaction that favors the muscle recovery processes.

The current protein landscape

There are already milk protein isolates, whey or casein protein hydrolysates, and essential amino acids, including the good old BCAAs. All protein forms can be absorbed quite quickly, and very rapidly, like hydrolyzed (predigested) forms, for example. All are more than respectable in their function and effectiveness. Studying the fastest and most efficient forms to maximize amino acid bioavailability to the muscles, I formulated "AminoDEX." What makes our AminoDEX so special from other essential amino acid products?

The innovation brought by AminoDEX

First of all, from its derivation, as AminoDEX has been formulated with free-form essential amino acids of plant origin (such as legumes), with the addition of L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, raw materials of excellent quality. These free-form amino acids obtained curiously have a structure very similar to that of human skeletal muscle and become bioavailable more rapidly than any other amino acid/protein form. Therefore, without engaging the digestive tract, they reach intestinal absorption in a matter of minutes. Not only that! The other "strong point" and very precious is its absolute effectiveness on nitrogen retention, reaching practically 98/99% utilization, with a drastic (almost zero) reduction in the production of nitrogenous waste, thus protecting the body's "filters" (liver and kidneys). Practically all the amino acid material is available for its "plastic" repair capacity. Furthermore, another effective addition to the beloved "8" essentials is Sustamine, the alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide with significantly superior absorption characteristics compared to simple L-glutamine for maximum cellular hydration during and/or after training, promoting the healing processes that will be triggered after training, and supporting, starting from the intestinal wall, the immune system as well. Therefore: rapidly available amino acids, 98-99% available for faster and more effective recovery. And the sooner you recover, the sooner you can train again and...the sooner you reach your goals.

It was 2017 when the Yamamoto® team decided to launch an amino acid product that was "different" from the norm. Studying the fastest and most efficient forms to maximize amino acid bioavailability to the muscles, they created "AminoDEX."

What sets our AminoDEX apart from other essential amino acid products? 1. Its sourcing from plant-based ingredients ensures this amino acid pool is considered "pharmaceutical purity." 2. The addition of the dipeptide L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine adds further value to the product. Involved in nitrogen exchange between tissues and in the production and storage of glucose, it also plays a crucial role in hydrating muscle cells. 3. The other key advantage is its absolute effectiveness in nitrogen retention, achieving a utilization rate of 98-99%, with a drastic (almost zero) reduction in the production of nitrogenous waste.
