Isopure Aminos – “Not All Amino Acids are Created Equal” #Isopure

Did you know the average man doesn’t eat enough protein? This building block does more than sculpt abs and build muscle tone. After water, protein accounts for the second most influential factor in your being. Researchers are discovering that the once recommended 56 grams of protein a day isn’t adequate for the average man. In fact, it could be way off. A protein deficiency will leave you feeling and looking lethargic, overweight, or worst “skinny fat,” so what can you do?

Men should be honest about their weight and aim to eat 0.77 grams of protein per pound of body weight if they train intensely at a gym (5 times a week). That means if you weight 180 pounds, you ought to be eating at least 139 grams of protein a day. Guys who don’t work out should eat 0.44 per pound or 79.2 grams. Any less, and even a man who doesn’t exercise won’t be able to maintain his muscle mass or bone density over time.

This vast difference of opinion might explain why men are finding it harder to look good and shed the fat. An easy way to lose weight, get buff, and increase your energy is to use a quality protein supplement. However, the protein powder is not enough. You need to combine quality Amino BCAA’s in addition to your protein!

It’s like a supplement for your protein supplement #Isopure Aminos #behindthemuscle read the review on MaleStandard.com #fitness #motivation @isopure

Real Men Get Results #Behindthemuscle

Not all proteins are the same. If you want to increase your muscle mass, you need a ‘complete protein.’ This means it contains the right levels of amino acids that your body can digest. For example, in order to get the same gram for gram of usable protein, you would need to eat three times as many legumes as red meat or eggs because legumes are not easily digested (they’re high in fiber). Animal proteins are complete and offer the highest natural source of protein, but they can be expensive and exclude vegetarians and vegans.

A protein supplement is an affordable and easy way to increase protein in your diet without blowing the bank or spending all day grazing like cattle. Like red meat and eggs, the amino acids are easily digested, but unlike foods, they won’t blow your calories out of the water (it would be almost impossible to hit your protein goals without excessive exercise). For this reason, we recommend all men consider the benefits of a BCAA supplement like Isopure® Aminos in conjunction with positive lifestyle choices.

To find out more, we spoke with industry leaders and innovators Isopure®, who created the game-changing Isopure® Aminos for guys looking to get the best possible nutrition from their Isopure Aminos BCAA powder.

Isopure® Aminos

While getting a complete protein is good, we know you want great! That’s where Isopure® Aminos comes in. Think of Isopure® Aminos like a supplement for your supplement! Isopure® Aminos goes in your usual shake, and adds a nutritious blast of Tart Cherry (an anti-inflammatory that relieves intense stress from exercise), and L-Theanine for a calm, relaxed mind. Together they help you make the most of your recovery and hit it harder the next day. Packed with antioxidant Vitamin C, they’ve crafted a lean amino acid powder unlike any other – and the only from pure Isopure®!

This BCAA’s Isolate is a fantastic addition for active men who want to build a better version of themselves, but even guys who wish they had more time for the gym can benefit. One of the reasons we love Isopure® is that their formula also targets men’s mental health and offers a powerful mind-body connection that encompasses vitality and recovery. Trust us when we say, you can spend every minute in the gym trying to get the perfect body, but without a strong mind you will not get the results you want.
