Description
It's a basic bread and butter supplement. A
staple. A must have that you should include in your
nutritional arsenal along with a good multi like Animal
Pak and protein. It's Animal Nitro.
"I started out not sure what to
expect, but my strength went up about 15 pounds on the
bench, 20 on the squat and a good 30 on the deadlift. I
also did some checking with my cleans while I was
testing. My weight went up a good nine pounds, which
doesn't seem like much, but in a competition that makes
a big difference. I'd say it is a good investment as all
people who train with strength can attest to the value
of a good amino supplement."

to date for the serious lifter who's looking for
something more. Listen, amino acids have been around for
decades and have been used by countless athletes. As
supplements, they've stood the test of time. They've
also been studied in great depth over the years. And
those studies are always moving forward. Recent research
has shown that amino acids are anabolic. But that
research has also shown that timing, dosages, and the
mix of aminos are all extremely important. To get things
rolling, you gotta start with the right mix, forms and
types of aminos to gain the maximum anabolic advantage.
Animal Nitro's got it all.
Animal
Nitro has the right types of aminos (essential aminos),
forms ("uncoupled"), dose (6 grams per pack), and the
right blend of aminos (Human Muscle Protein ComplexT).
Recent published studies have shown that to stimulate
protein synthesis and spark anabolism, only essential
amino acids (EAA) are necessary. Non-essential amino
acids (NEAA) aren't (protein powders have both EAA and
NEAA). You don't need a lot either. EAA are so
efficient, researchers have found that only 6 grams,
orally-delivered, are necessary (this is the precise
amount in each pack of Animal Nitro). However, it's not
just a matter of throwing in 6 grams of EAA. For
example, you can't put them into tablets. Tablets, with
all the fillers and coatings, prevent the EAA from being
utilized by the body efficiently. That's why Animal
Nitro comes only in quick-dissolving capsules. The ratio
of EAA are important too. We'll talk about this in a
second.
We covered the types of
aminos that are important. But the forms are important
too. That's why we use only "uncoupled" essential amino
acids. Uncoupled aminos are a special form of amino
acid-they are free of chemical bonds. Because of this,
uncoupled aminos are rapidly absorbed by the body-far
more rapidly and efficiently than protein powders like
whey. Uncoupled aminos, unlike intact proteins (such as
from foods or protein powders) can exert powerful
pharmacological and physiological actions such as
hormone regulation (insulin, growth hormone),
immunomodulation, and anabolism. Just as importantly,
uncoupled aminos can bypass the liver. The liver acts as
a kind of gatekeeper. When you eat chicken or drink a
protein shake, the liver deaminates much of the aminos,
and those aminos are ultimately converted to urea. Not
good.
Uncoupled amino acids, on the
other hand, have the ability actually bypass the liver.
Once ingested, uncoupled aminos in Animal Nitro can form
a "bolus" or a special protective mass of aminos. Due to
this protective bolus, when the uncoupled aminos reach
the liver, they can escape the liver's processing and
enter into systemic circulation quickly and reach their
target areas to exert the pharmacological and
physiological effects. And this is one of the reasons
why Animal Nitro is superior to regular protein powders.
Animal Nitro contains valuable essential aminos acids in
"uncoupled" forms that can rapidly reach target tissues
and exert anabolic effects.
While
the form and types of aminos are important, so too is
the blend. You need the right ratios of EAA to extract
the maximum benefits. Animal Nitro has the right ratios.
Animal Nitro is the only amino acid supplement that
contains Human Muscle Protein ComplexT. We used the
amino acid profile found in actual human muscle protein
itself when we created Animal Nitro. Why? By matching
the types and ratios of amino acids to human muscle, you
can potentially increase the availability of each
individual essential amino acid in proportion to its
requirement for enhancing muscle protein synthesis. In
other words, if your muscles are a hand, then Animal
Nitro's Human Muscle Protein ComplexT is the glove.
We think Animal Nitro is going to be
a solid addition to your nutritional arsenal. As a solid
amino-based supplement, it can appeal to a broad range
of strength athletes, including powerlifters,
bodybuilders, and anyone who requires strength and power
as a foundation. It can be used during a cutting or
bulking cycle. It can be used by lifters who are looking
for improved recovery, more energy, and greater
strength. Because it consists of such fundamental, basic
ingredients, amino acids, and because it offers so much
nutritional flexibility, we think Animal Nitro will
quickly become a staple supplement for lifters
everywhere. For some frequently asked questions about
Animal Nitro.
Required For
. Competitive strength & power athletes
. High-intensity training
. Athletes
who are dieting
. Individuals bulking on
higher protein diets
. Lifters looking for an
anabolic edge
Daily Dose
When lifting, there is a critical 4-hour
anabolic "window of opportunity" that exists. To take
advantage of this window, take 1 pack within 30 minutes
following resistance training. For even better results,
take 2 packs daily - the first immediately before
lifting, and the second within 30 minutes after. If you
use a post-training protein shake, wait at least another
30-45 minutes after you've taken the Animal Nitro pack
before drinking your shake. Always take Animal Nitro on
an empty stomach, preferably with 8 oz. of grape or
other fruit juice.

Recommended Stacks
Like Animal Pak, we think Animal Nitro is a
"foundational" supplement. It should be a staple in your
nutritional arsenal. Animal Nitro can provide the body
with the basic building blocks it needs to grow. You can
stack it with Animal Pak or any other Animal supplement
depending on your goals.
