AMINO SWITCH contains ALL 9 Essential Amino Acids (the ones you cant make internally) and is rapidly absorbed. This makes it a perfect alternative to protein shakes or food immediately after training.

WHAT IS NNU & NPU?
NNU (Net Nitrogen Utilization) or NPU (Net Protein Utilization) is the same thing. Nitrogen is a word that essentially means protein. NNU or NPU is the ratio of amino acids absorbed verse the amount of amino acids supplied. In other words, how much protein (amino acids) is consumed verse what is excreted or wasted. AMINO SWITCH™ provides the highest possible NNU of 99% vs Whey at around 16%.

Yes. AMINO SWITCH™ contains all three (3) BCAA’s plus the additional six (6) Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s) required by the human body. In fact Tipton et. al., has performed research on both BCAA's and EAA's and his conclusion in a recently published paper (circa 2017) suggests EAA's may provide 50% greater results than using BCAA's alone.
WHY HAVE YOU ADDED SCHISANDRA TO AMINO SWITCH™?
Schisandra chinensis is a key ingredient in AMINO SWITCH™. This berry has been used as an adaptogen for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Adaptogens by nature allow our bodies to respond more positively and adapt faster.
