- Purus Labs - AminoD Essential Amino Acid Repletion Drink Blue Razz Lemonade - 225 Grams (7.9 oz.) Purus Labs Amino D Essential Amino Acid Repletion Drink is a pre-, intra-, and post- MPS enhancer. The importance of amino acids, concerning muscle protein synthesis, has long been accepted and validated; however, which exact amino acids at what specific ratios are the more important questions, along with what total dosage amount and when should it be consumed. Purus Labs utilized a meta analysis on over 10 years of ergogenic amino acid research to bring you the most comprehensively anabolic amino acid composition available. It even outperforms whole protein. 36% Aminoblast L-Leucine 14% L-Phenylalanine 12% L-Valine 10% L-Threonine 8.5% L-Isoleucine 8.5% L-Histidine Constituents Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) have consistently outperformed whole protein and other mixed amino acid formulas regarding stimulating Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) and maintaining a positive net protein balance (NPB). Succinctly, AminOD utilizes 7 of the 10 EAAs, based upon the 6g composition derived from Tipton, Borsheim, et al. data and strategically merged with the ratios from Pasiakos' studies using heightened L-Leucine content. It is devoid of L-Methionine due to life extension purposes discussed in detail below. Whole protein, consumed either pre or post exercise, was proven inferior at enhancing muscle amino acid uptake and muscle protein balance when compared to EAA + Carbohydrate (CHO) solution taken at either of the same time-points (Tipton 2007). Consuming this 6g mixture 1 and 2 hours post, without CHO, was also shown to be 2x more impactful on stimulating net muscle protein balance when compared to another 6g blend of EAAs and Non Essential Amino Acids (NEAAs), much like whole protein (Borsheim 2002). This study was powerful as it proved there is no need for NEAAs regarding muscle protein synthesis (MPS), only EAAs. It also let them know they could drop the 35 CHO, as it proved they had no added benefit on MPS. Furthermore, EAAs, not NEAAs, were shown to individually stimulate MPS when administered in bolus dosages (Smith et all 1994), further sustaining that NEAAs are irrelevant. The research speaks, a carefully designed EAA formula is more anabolic than whole protein...and a ton cheaper! The 6g EAA composition, used by multiple researchers as depicted above, served as their base structural formula for AminOD, as it was designed specifically to mimic muscle tissue amino acid content (Borsheim, et al. 2002) and had consistent human, oral research surrounding it. Purus Labs chose to enhance the Leucine content based on Dreyer's work showing Leucine enriched EAA + CHO formula, consumed post resistance training, increased mTOR activation leading to greater MPS (Dreyer et al. 2008). Purus Labs used another, more current, EAA composition to determine AminOD's amino acid ratios, with the goal of enriching the L-Leucine content within their dosage. This particular 10g EAA composition with 35% Leucine elicited a 33% greater MPS response compared to another 10g identical composition with 18.6% Leucine. The other EAAs within their composition are reduced parallel to this study's ratios, to allow 35% Leucine enrichment (Pasiakos 2011). For inquiring minds, aromatic amino acids L-Tryptophan and L-Tyrosine do not appear within their formula, despite being essential amino acids. Researchers did not include these within their EAA spectrums possibly due to interference with anabolic branch chain amino acid (BCAA) absorption, as they compete for the same receptor, LAT1 (Large Neutral Amino Acid Transporter). The enhanced BCAA:Tryptophan ratio allows for increased BCAA transport and reduced fatigue. Additionally, Tryptophan is a precursor to Melatonin which promotes sleep; most users would find drowsiness as an unwelcome effect as this product will be consumed around training and/or throughout the day. L-Methionine has also been omitted, by them, due to many lif
