- ADVANCE MUSCLE RECOVERY*
- STIMULATE MUSCLE GROWTH AND ATP PRODUCTION*
- PROMOTE VASODILATION AND CELL VOLUMIZATION FOR GREATER AMINO ACID DELIVERY*
- REDUCE POST-EXERCISE MUSCLE DAMAGE AND SUPPORTS HEALTHY CORTISOL LEVELS*
- ELIMINATE FATIGUE AND LACTIC ACID BUILD UP, ALLOWING YOU TO TRAIN WITH THE SAME INTENSITY THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE WORKOUT*
After an intense workout, your muscles necessitate the most complex selection of nutrients to minimize the wearing and tearing elicited by your training session. It is imperative for your body to receive the proper recovery in order to obtain optimal results. Infinite Force offers the most advanced combination of vitamins and amino acids to help increase muscle growth, reduce cortisol levels and ensure the fastest recovery period possible.*
BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids)
BCAAs are the essential aminos: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. The combination of these amino acids makes up approximately one third of skeletal muscle tissue in the body. As the building blocks of protein, they play a major role in the process of protein synthesis. As food goes through the digestion process, the protein that the food contains is broken down into individual and short chains of amino acids; they are then minute enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream. After a training session, the body is in a catabolic state – breaking down of muscle tissue – with a deficit in protein synthesis. This is due to the MAPK signaling pathway that is activated post exercise, which is the body’s own way of signaling muscle growth. The purpose of this pathway is to increase protein synthesis, however it is not as effective as when combined with the BCAA signaling cascade. These two pathways act independently from one another, so when adequate amounts of BCAAs are consumed after a workout, the body enters a greater state of hypertrophy with a positive amount of protein synthesis.*
It is because of this that Infinite Force is a vital component to any post-exercise regimen. Making sure you incorporate these BCAAs into your diet will decrease your time to recovery while simultaneously increasing the rate at which lean body mass is constructed.*
L-Glutamine
Of all the amino acids found in the human body, glutamine is the most abundant amino, making up over 60% of the skeletal muscle tissues. Glutamine plays an essential role in anti-catabolism, protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and increased production and secretion of Growth Hormone (GH). It is the primary source of energy for the immune system and maintains the structural integrity of the lining of the intestines. In the brain, it is converted to Glutamic acid and promotes the synthesis of GABA, an important brain neurotransmitter that may potentially enhance cognitive function.*

Beta-Alanine
Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid and is the only naturally occurring beta-amino acid. Beta-alanine’s effects are realized by enhancing the synthesis of carnosine, a dipeptide (two amino acids) intracellular buffer. When beta-alanine is combined with BCAAs is suggested to reduce post workout muscle soreness from exercise, suggesting that beta-alanine in combination with BCAAs have syntergistic effects on speeding up the recovery process.* Beta-alanine can also enhance creatine’s ability to reduce body fat and build lean muscle tissue in combination with resistance training.*

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine is a form of the amino acid tyrosine that is much more bioavailable than regular tyrosine supplements. It is utilized in the body to produce numerous hormones and neurotransmitters, including dopamine, thyroid hormone, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. The addition of the acetyl group to tyrosine elicits an increased ability to enter the brain, thusly making its effects more concentrated and enhancing the effectiveness of tyrosine. N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine serves as a building block used to make various proteins and chemicals that the body can utilize.*

L-Phenylalanine
L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid essential to the process of protein synthesis. L-Phenylalanine can be converted into the amino acid L-tyrosine and later to norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine. L-Phenylalanine may also aid in the regeneration of damaged muscle tissue, often caused by strenuous sports and activities that require muscular endurance.*
