WHAT DOES TIME 4 EAA CONTAIN?

Time 4 EAA Professional is a specially formulated combination of evidence-based ingredients. These include:

Essential Amino Acid Blend

(L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine, L-Lysine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Histidine, L-Methionine, L-Tryptophan)

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They play a vital role in many vital processes in the body, including muscle growth and repair, energy production, cell signalling, and immunity. There are 20 amino acids that make up the estimated 2 million different types of proteins. Of these 20, 9 are referred to as ‘essential’ because they cannot be produced by the body and so must be obtained from dietary sources.

L-Glycine

Glycine is an amino which plays an important role in many processes essential for good health and optimal performance. These include protein synthesis, reducing muscle wasting and the production of creatine. Although it is not an essential amino acid, it is considered to be ‘conditionally essential’ because it is almost impossible to satisfy daily requirements from diet alone when engaged in high intensity exercise. Glycine has been shown to enhance the absorption of the EEA, Leucine, which provides the signal to switch from a catabolic state, in which muscle tissue is being broken down, to an anabolic state in which it begins to rebuild. It also helps to protect against gastrointestinal distress and assist nutrient uptake during intense exercise.

L-Glutamine

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body, accounting for approximately 60 percent of our skeletal muscle. It supports the gastrointestinal tract during exercise by maintaining gut barrier integrity, reducing inflammation, and aiding nutrient absorption. It also helps replenish glutamine levels depleted during intense activity, preventing gut permeability, protecting against exercise-induced digestive issues, and supporting immune function in the vunerable post-workout period.

L-Taurine

Taurine is an amino acid which is highly expressed in various tissues, including skeletal muscle. It plays an important role in numerous processes essential for health, performance and recovery, including reducing muscle damage and delayed onset muscle soreness and maintaining fluid-electrolyte balance. It has also been shown to reduce muscle loss, by inhibiting the expression of atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, two key molecules involved in the atrophy process.

Green Tea Extract (50% EGCG)

Green tea extract is the concentrated form of green tea, which provides a rich source of a range of health and performance enhancing substances. It has been specially selected for inclusion in Time 4 EAA Professional due to its high Epigallocatechin and epicatechin content. These powerful flavonoids have been shown to inhibit the activity of myostatin, a type of regulating protein released by muscles, which suppresses muscle growth.

Sodium Chloride

Sodium chloride is a key electrolyte that helps to maintain fluid balance in the body. It enhances the body’s ability to retain water, which is crucial for staying hydrated during and after exercise, and plays a vital role in nerve function and muscle contraction, helping to prevent cramps and maintain performance during prolonged physical activity.

AstraGin®

AstraGin® is a 100% natural compound made from the plants Panax notoginseng, commonly known as Chinese ginseng, and Astragalus membranaceus, a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. It supports increased absorption of a wide range of nutrients, including amino acids.

Potassium Chloride

Potassium chloride is a crucial electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction. It works in conjunction with sodium to regulate the body’s hydration levels. This is vital for overall performance and recovery, and helps to ensure muscle function by preventing muscular fatigue and cramps, which can be common during prolonged and demanding physical activity.

Calcium D-Pantothenate

Calcium D-Pantothenate is a form of vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid. It plays a crucial role in metabolising carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which helps to maintain energy levels during intense physical activity. It is often referred to as the ‘anti-stress vitamin, as it helps produce stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands, which can be beneficial during strenuous exercise.

Tri-Sodium Citrate

Tri-Sodium Citrate is an electrolyte that helps to maintain the balance and absorption of other electrolytes and nutrients,which is crucial for optimal hydration and muscle function during exercise. It also acts as a buffering agent, helping to neutralise lactate produced during intense exercise, which reduces muscle fatigue and improves endurance.

Niacin

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3 or Nicotinamide, is a water-soluble vitamin that helps to optimise exercise performance and recovery in a number of ways. These include enhancing the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate for energy production, and increasing the blood supply to the working muscles, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients. It also aids tissue repair, protects cells from oxidative stress and enhances sleep.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is water-soluble vitamin, which plays an important role in many processes essential for good health and optimal performance and recovery, including the production of red blood cells and nerve function. It has been specially selected for inclusion in Time 4 EAA professional due to its ability to enhance energy production and reduce fatigue, allowing you maintain your performance during demanding high-intensity training sessions. Vitamin B12 aids digestive health by helping to maintain the lining of the gut and encourage a healthy balance of bacteria, which aids the absorption of nutrients

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is a water- soluble vitamin sometimes referred to as Pyridoxine. It plays an important role in many processes essential for good health and optimal performance and recovery. It has been specially selected for inclusion in Time 4 EAA Professional due to its ability to enhance energy production, reduce fatigue, and support muscle protein synthesis and muscle function. It also plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism and the absorption of amino acids.

Folic Acid

Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, is a type of vitamin B9. It plays a vital role in many processes in the body essential for optimal performance and recovery. These include muscle growth and repair, energy production and blood flow.

What’s so special about Time 4 EAA Professional?

Firstly, Time 4 EAA Professional provides the full range of essential amino acids at levels and a ratio shown scientifically to maximise muscle growth and repair. While amino acids can be produced by a variety of different methods, including a harsh acid-based process that extracts them from animal products, such as duck feathers, fur and even human hair, you can rest assured that those used in Time 4 EAA Professional are produced by fermentation. This is a natural process which involves fermenting plant-based ingredients with microorganisms, like probiotic bacteria. To optimise the absorption and effectiveness of the amino acids we have added a range of supplementary evidence-based ingredients.

The benefits of Time 4 EEA essential amino acid formula do not end there, as it has been designed to function as an intra-workout supplement with the inclusion of a specially formulated combination of nutrients to be consumed during training session to help optimise performance and recovery via range of mechanisms, including increased muscle protein synthesis and nutrient absorption, enhanced energy production and muscle function, and increased blood flow. An often-overlooked aspect of nutrition is hydration. Suboptimal hydration levels are not only associated with a decline in all aspects of performance, such as strength, power, and endurance, but also poor absorption of nutrients including amino acids. To address this, we have included a bespoke hydration formula. This dual-approach not only provides great results, but also saves you buying two supplements, giving you more ‘bang for your buck’. Time EAA Professional is suitable for Vegetarians and is gluten & soy free.
