Essential amino acids play a vital role in preventing muscle-tissue breakdown, increasing muscle protein synthesis with 6,000 mg, as found in Amino-Phase), and even in promoting muscle growth and performance. However, the timing of amino acid administration is critical. Using the proprietary Duo-Phase™ manufacturing process, Amino-Phase provides the essential amino acids (including BCAAs) during the specific times they are needed to create real results. This includes the all-important pre-workout period to promote positive nitrogen balance, all the way through overnight sleep cycles that can result in a sustained suppressing of muscle breakdown. Only Amino-Phase with Duo-Phase provides vital essential amino acids at the critical times when they are needed most, without having to repeatedly take tablets or consume powders at multiple times throughout the day.
