Animal Nitro

Accelerated Amino Transport

Aminos are the basic building blocks of muscle. Aminos can also trigger anabolism, the cornerstone of muscle growth. As a lifter, you need them, especially the right ones. While there are nearly two dozen different amino acids, only a select few are absolutely essential for igniting the anabolic drive, as new research has shown. Not surprisingly, these required aminos are the same ones found in human muscle protein.

Animal Nitro is the first and only supplement that contains the correct ratios of those aminos based on human muscle protein itself. This complex of aminos is appropriately called Human Muscle Protein Complex™ (HMPC™) and they’re only in Animal Nitro. HMPC™ consists of special “uncoupled” aminos exclusively – those that are free of the chemical bonds that can limit maximum utilization. By using only 100% uncoupled aminos in HMPC™, Animal Nitro delivers a precisely controlled dose of aminos that are “targeted” to efficiently enter systemic circulation through a novel amino transport system.

Here’s how it works. Each pack consists of a measured 6,000mg dose of uncoupled aminos (HMPC™). Once ingested, they form a special bolus (a protective “mass”) that allows them to efficiently bypass the liver. Now this is vital as the liver captures and catabolizes regular amino acids (like those found in protein powders such as whey and more conventional amino supplements) to urea, a waste product. Once safely past the liver, this bolus of uncoupled aminos enters systemic circulation, where they can exert their powerful pharmacological actions–vasodilation and anabolism.

When combined with resistance training, Animal Nitro can actually help your body deliver more nutrients to your working muscles, recover more quickly, and build new muscle mass by enhancing protein synthesis, improving net muscle protein balance, and preventing muscle breakdown. Gram for gram, nothing is as pure, as efficient, as potent, and as effective as Animal Nitro. It’s the gold standard among amino-based supplements.

PRODUCT NOTES: Animal Nitro is unique in that it is the only product that utilizes Human Muscle Protein Complex(tm) HMPC(tm) is the precise ratios modeled after actual human muscle itself to help optimize and ensure rapid absorbtion and superior results. Essential amino acids (EAAs) include all three of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine isoleucine and valine.   Other Ingredients: Stearic acid, magnesium stearate, gelatin, titanium dioxide, FD&C red #40, RD&C blue #1. Recommended Use: DOSAGE: After lifting, there is a critical anabolic "window of opportunity" that exists. To take advantage of this nutritional period, take a pack within 15-30 minutes immediately after lifting. Even better, take 2 packs on your training days - the first preworkout, right before lifting, and the second postworkout. If you take a PWO shake, then take the Animal Nitro first, and then wait at least another 30-45 minutes before drinking that shake. When possible take Animal Nitro on an empty stomach, preferably with 8-12 oz of grape or other fruit juice. Warning: Exercise good judgment and keep this out of reach of children.
