Amino Xtra is now EAA XTRA with a new name and the same formula. Essential Amino Acids (EAA) play an important role in the process of muscle protein synthesis and muscle recovery. EAA XTRA provides a full spectrum of essential amino acids, with 5 grams of fermented BCAAs in each serving. It is also fortified with vegan proteolytic enzymes and glutamine to support amino acid digestion and nutrient absorption. L-Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid and an important source of energy for the cells of the small intestine. Once in the small intestine, it is released into the bloodstream and used for various biochemical reactions, especially during periods of physical stress. EAA XTRA also contains taurine for hydration, vitamin C for immune system support, and citrulline malate for ammonia elimination.
