Essential Amino Acids X BCAAs
Our body can produce most of the 20 amino acids from other amino acids. For example, if I have proline available and I need glycine, my body can produce proline from glycine.
Of these amino acids, there are nine that are classified as Essential Amino Acids, meaning that they cannot be produced in our body and need to be ingested through diet or supplementation.
For the longest time in sports nutrition, 3 of these EAA, known as BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine), were the only ones popular in sports nutrition. They play a crucial role in protein synthesis, metabolism, and energy production, and are considered valuable supplements for muscle building.
However, as new research emerged, it was discovered that something (literally) essential was missing.
Science shows that BCAAs have value and are anabolic in triggering muscle protein synthesis; however, all of the nine essential amino acids are required for complete muscle repair and growth to occur. If these EAA aren't available, you are essentially triggering growth and rebuilding, but not providing the raw materials to build with!
When the nine essential amino acids are consumed in the ideal proportions and doses (there is no point in using smaller doses), muscle protein synthesis is greatly amplified and more muscle protein is produced.
In addition, the 9 Essential Amino Acids are also precursors of neurotransmitters, act on metabolism, improve your sleep and mood, and are responsible for dramatically accelerating the muscle repair process.
It is well established that the 9 Essential Amino Acids are a much more efficient option than BCAAs alone. They cost a little more, but the result is proportionately better, which guarantees a much better cost-benefit.
Of course, it is possible to consume these amino acids through the diet. But from food, you will get small doses of each with each meal. Nothing wrong with that. But this may not be the best scenario.
Over the years, science has discovered that certain amino acids acquire unique properties when consumed and absorbed in large quantities at once.
When we provide high and easily absorbable doses of specific amino acids to our body, Hyperaminoacidemia occurs.
An example is that when we consume and absorb large amounts of Leucine, we experience significant mTOR activation, which is a chain of reactions that governs muscle protein synthesis.
DR. FEAAR - your greatest ally in the search for Muscle Growth
Dragon Pharma utilized this scientific knowledge to develop the new and improved DR. FEAR.
DR. FEAAR contains clinically tested doses of the nine essential amino acids. It has a 4:1:1 ratio of BCAAs and has been fortified with an electrolyte and hydration matrix to enhance absorption even further.
This means that you have high amounts of essential amino acids that will be absorbed instantly, putting you in an immediate state of anabolism.
The highlight of DR. FEAAR is the stimulus to increase protein synthesis, which the 9 essential amino acids can dramatically stimulate.
When we train, we essentially “break” muscle to stimulate protein synthesis and build new, larger, and stronger muscle.
When we consume adequate amounts of the nine essential amino acids, we also stimulate protein synthesis to the same extent as if we had undergone a training session.
And there´s more. This is good news. Studies show that there is a cumulative effect between training and ingesting essential amino acids. That is, when you take DR. FEAAR and train, your protein synthesis - the ability to build muscle - is amplified.
Beyond Aminos, Beyond Your Expectations
In addition to the nine essential amino acids, which are crucial for protein synthesis, we have included other ingredients to further enhance their performance and results.
PeakO2 is an adaptogenic compound formed by extracts from six mushrooms found in the USA. It significantly increases oxygen uptake and working capacity while helping to lower lactate levels. This allows you to train harder for more extended periods.
We also offer a Hydration and Electrolyte Matrix that helps you maintain higher muscle hydration levels throughout your workout, while optimizing nutrient absorption and muscle contraction.
The Word of the Expert
We spoke with Drew Peters, Director of Scientific Affairs—the person who formulates and flavors all of our products—to find out what's new in DR. FEAAR.
-What´s the difference between the old and new formula?
The new formula of Dr. FEAAR was reinvented to accomplish a variety of things. First and foremost, I adjusted the ratio of amino acids to provide a more strategic balance of all essential amino acids (EAA), especially by increasing methionine, which is a primary precursor to the production of many other amino acids. The ratio will optimally support protein synthesis and recovery while delivering endurance enhancement from the Peak02 and hydration from our unique hydration matrix. Last but not least, the flavor system has been completely re-done to create an incredible experience for all.
The flavor has improved significantly. DR. FEAAR is even more delicious than before. We know pure aminos taste like Sh*#. How did you accomplish that?
Aside from adjusting the amino acid ratios, I spent a considerable amount of time in the flavor lab fine-tuning the flavor system. I experimented with various flavor combinations and utilized the natural bitter notes of the aminos to select flavors that were complementary to the product, helping to deliver the best possible flavor system. With 10g of EAA per serving and 1g of Peak02, flavoring this was no easy feat. Still, I feel that the Apple Juice, Raspberry Lemonade, and Peach Guava are all flavors that have a natural synergy with how the aminos taste, creating a great experience.
-Why not just take BCAAs?
First, realize that BCAAs are part of the group referred to as EAA (essential amino acids, meaning the body cannot produce them and must be ingested).
Delving a little further into this, there is some debate between BCAA alone and a supplement with all EAA. If you are training in a fasted state or there aren't adequate amino acids available through protein intake, research has suggested that BCAAs can be catabolic and break down tissue to feed the mTOR process. In a simple way of putting it, BCAA initiates protein synthesis (leucine triggers and insulin response, isoleucine makes cells receptive to said insulin response, and valine prevents fatigue). If you are ingesting BCAA without the other amino acids available, you're basically hiring a construction crew to build without giving it the 'bricks' per se.
-Please, tell us how the Electrolytes and Hydration Matrix can help during the workout session.
DR. FEAAR is designed to be used intra-workout to fuel recovery and prevent muscle breakdown. The hydration matrix helps ensure that you are getting crucial electrolytes that you lose from sweat and help you keep performing optimally.
-DR. FEAAR can be stacked with other supplements?
For best results, stack DR. FEAAR intra-workout with Venom or Mr. Veinz pre-workout and IsoPhorm post workout for optimal performance, endurance and recovery.
