Essential Amino Powder 300 grams YAMAMOTO
Essential AMINO Powder is a matrix composed of from essential amino acids obtained through vegetable fermentation . Essential amino acids (EAA – Essential Amino Acid) are those that the human body is not able to synthesize autonomously in sufficient quantities to satisfy its needs, and which must therefore be necessarily taken through the diet . It is important to remember that some EAA branched chain amino acids, known as BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acid), and that amino acids are the organic molecules that our body uses to form the proteins .
What is an essential amino acid supplement for? When diet alone is not enough to meet requirements or when the amount of certain foods consumed is reduced, EAA supplements are certainly a valid aid in providing the body with everything it needs for protein synthesis.
Essential AMINO is characterized by the presence of a ratio of l-leucine, l-isoleucine and l-valine of 2:1:1, therefore with greater presence of leucine : this amino acid is in fact Essential for protein synthesis . Furthermore, the 2:1:1 ratio of amino acids is the most common in nature. Essential AMINO also contains all 8 EAAs in an optimal ratio to maximize their bioavailability and minimize the production of nitrogenous waste.
What are the essential amino acids (EAAs) for humans? For humans (adults), there are 8 essential amino acids, and specifically we are talking about:
-
Lysine : Found primarily in milk, soy, and beef, but almost absent in cereals, it is needed for the formation of carnitine and vitamin B3. For athletes, it can speed up post-workout recovery.
-
Tryptophan : Found in milk and dairy products, eggs, legumes, meat, and fish. It is an important amino acid in protein synthesis and is the starting point for the synthesis of serotonin and niacin.
-
Phenylalanine : Found in most animal and plant proteins, including meat, organ meats, fish, eggs, and even brown rice. It is involved in many metabolic processes, serving as a building block for proteins, and participates in the formation of thyroid hormones.
-
Threonine : Found primarily in corn, soy, eggs, mushrooms, cod, pork, lamb, rabbit, and veal. It is one of the amino acids most commonly lacking in a vegan diet. It is a component of antibodies and therefore plays a fundamental role in maintaining the immune system.
-
Methionine : Found in dairy products, egg whites, sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, cod, and soy protein. Methionine is essential for the production of carnitine and cysteine, as well as creatine, taurine, and vitamin B12. It chelates some heavy metals and, when present in sufficient quantities, acidifies urine pH.
-
Leucine : Milk, corn, chicken, and eggs are the main dietary sources of this amino acid. It plays an important role in muscle growth and is an alternative energy source during intense physical activity.
-
Isoleucine : Found primarily in corn, potatoes, chicken, eggs, peanuts, bresaola, and lamb. It is closely linked to glucose requirements (in fact, it is considered a glucogenic and ketogenic amino acid), prevents the catabolism of structural proteins, and promotes recovery after prolonged exercise.
-
Valine : Egg white powder, soy protein, spirulina algae, dairy products, and other sources are rich in it. It plays an important role, especially in tissue reconstruction.
Of these 8 EAAs, the last 3 described (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) are called BCAA (from the English Branched Chain Amino Acid), or branched-chain amino acids , which have in common the presence of a branched lateral chain.

Our advice We recommend splitting your daily amino acid intake (2 scoops) between pre and post workout, so 1 scoop in the pre-workout and 1 in the post . In this way, both the anabolism processes will be supported and the muscle catabolism processes will be counteracted. supporting muscle growth but preserving the tissues subjected to stress , as well as effectively supporting hydration.
Frequently asked questions
Should they be taken before or after training? Taking EAAs is a good strategy for both pre- and post-workout: they are extremely effective in both situations. They counteract muscle catabolism following intense physical activity and simultaneously replenish muscle with plastic material. Therefore, our advice remains to split the intake between pre- and post-workout.
I take essential amino acids: is it correct to also add protein intake? Most high-biological-value proteins contain a full spectrum of essential amino acids. In situations such as low-calorie or high-protein diets, increased needs, or even sarcopenia, EAA intake is important. Whether or not you consume protein and amino acids together is important. it depends on the quality (biological value) of protein and total daily protein intake. If you can't get all your EAAs from protein alone, supplementing with EAAs is recommended. Similarly, if you take EAAs but don't meet your protein requirement, you can also take protein.
