VITAL AMINO COMPLEX -(PROTEIN POWDER)

L-Leucine
L-leucine is one of the most important branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) for muscle anabolism. It directly activates the mTOR signaling pathway, which is responsible for initiating protein synthesis in muscle fibers. Its presence is crucial after exercise, as it promotes recovery, growth, and prevention of catabolism.

L-Isoleucine
L-isoleucine is a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) essential for muscle recovery, energy balance, and glycemic regulation. Unlike leucine, its primary role is in the metabolic reutilization of glucose and the maintenance of energy levels during exercise or periods of caloric restriction.

L-Valine
L-valine is an essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that plays a key role in muscle recovery, nitrogen balance, and energy production during physical activity. It is fundamental for maintaining muscle tissue integrity, as it acts as a direct energy source when glycogen stores decrease.

Inulin
Inulin is a polysaccharide composed of fructose subunits, known as fructans. This compound is naturally present in various species such as bananas, barley, chicory, garlic, artichokes, leeks, onions, wheat, and agave. The inulin used by Elevaté comes from agave.

L-Phenylalanine
L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid and a precursor of key molecules in the nervous system, such as tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Through this biosynthetic pathway, phenylalanine directly contributes to the regulation of mood, motivation, attention, and the stress response.

L-Threonine
L-threonine is an essential amino acid indispensable for the synthesis of structural proteins—especially collagen, elastin, and mucins—which maintain the integrity of tissues, skin, joints, and the intestinal mucosa.

L-Lysine
L-lysine is an essential amino acid required for the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and structural enzymes, contributing to the maintenance of bones, tendons, skin, and blood vessels.

L-Methionine
L-methionine is an essential sulfur-containing amino acid, a key component in the synthesis of proteins, enzymes, and glutathione—one of the body’s primary cellular antioxidants. Its structure allows it to function as a methyl-group donor through S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), essential for DNA methylation, neurotransmitter formation, and liver detoxification.

L-Tryptophan
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid with a dual role: it serves as a structural component of proteins and as a biochemical precursor of key molecules involved in the body's homeostasis. Its integration into protein chains contributes to tissue formation and repair, as its indole ring provides three-dimensional stability and hydrophobic properties to proteins, enabling proper folding and biological function.
