Amino Acids

Amino acids – sports nutrition 

Amino acids are an important but often overlooked part of sports nutrition. Amino acid supplements are there to boost your performance in a targeted way. They may be able to help you with many of your goals, such as growing muscle, working out for longer or even assisting with recovery. If you’re looking to take your performance to another level, amino acid supplements can help you get there. So, what should you know about amino acids?

Types of amino acids in sports nutrition 

There are a few ways we can classify amino acid sports nutrition supplements.  

Some amino acid supplements contain the same amino acids as the ones that we use to build muscle. These include the BCAA supplements. Often times these amino acids have their own effects on the body alongside helping build muscle. 

There are amino acids that the body doesn’t use to build muscle, such as l-citrulline malate. These amino acids for women and men can help boost performance.   

Alternatively, you can categorize amino acids by goal. 

Certain amino acids, like BCAAs can help you with growing your muscle mass.  

Other amino acids, such as citrulline malate or beta-alanine can help you power through tough workouts. They can help delay fatigue and reach new personal bests. 

Finally, there are the amino acids that can help with recovery. That’s especially useful if you have many back-to-back training sessions. For example, glutamine can be a useful amino acid supplement for recovery. 

Some amino acids may have more than one benefit, and therefore can be classified into multiple categories, so they can help you meet multiple goals. 

How to take amino acids correctly 

Should you take amino acids before a workout or should they be taken at another point? It can be hard to understand when to take amino acid supplements, especially if you’re just starting out. 

The best way to understand how to take amino acids correctly is by consulting the supplement usage instructions. That’s because different amino acids will have different functions and therefore should be taken at different times.  

As a general rule, most amino acid supplements will need to be taken around 45-30 minutes before a workout. That allows them to be absorbed and reach your bloodstream in time for your workout. This will often be the case with amino acids that help delay fatigue or form pre-workout complexes.  

BCAA amino acids for men and women can usually be taken at any point during the workout. This means that you can take them before, during and after a workout and still get all of the benefits.
