Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy

Your search for the absolute best alternative to coffee is finally over! With Amino Energy, Optimum Nutrition has once again proven that they know their stuff. This high-quality formula contains clinically researched ingredients for ultimate muscle recovery, as well as performance-enhancing amino acids and nootropics to provide your body with high levels of energy when you need it. We all have been there before: the alarm goes off and our mood couldn’t be any worse. What we need now is a source of energy to kickstart the day! It's even worse if you've recently given up coffee or pre-workouts. As the most widely used stimulant in the world, caffeine is often referred to as the king of all stimulants. It is used to boost energy levels in the morning, crank up the intensity and enhance performance.

Boosts energy levels.
Reduces fatigue.
Speeds up recovery.
Coffee-alternative.
Comprehensive amino blend.

Each single scoop Amino Energy serving combines an amino acid blend with an energy blend to boost energy levels, enhance cognitive functions, maximise muscle recovery, reduce fatigue and improve blood flow. Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy contains all essential amino acids your body needs for ideal recovery after a tough workout session. As the building blocks of protein, amino acids also play an important role in reducing fatigue, boosting cognitive function, speeding up muscle growth, increasing endurance, and supporting repair processes. Taurine, Citrulline and Beta-Alanine have been added to this amino blend to enhance nutrient uptake and reduce the negative impacts of lactic acid through increased buffering capacity.

Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy’s energy blend contains naturally occurring caffeine from green coffee and green tea. This blend allows a natural steady release of caffeine for enhanced cognitive function and performance. Green coffee and green tea give you the caffeine buzz you need without the jitters. This allows you to be more productive throughout the day without bouncing off the walls. Furthermore, it is easier to focus as it contains an amino acid called L-theanine that helps the brain. The combination of this amino acid and caffeine leads to better brain function and improved focus. Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy can be used multiple times per day to boost your energy levels or improve muscle recovery around exercise. Simply combine it with cold water and enjoy this powerful support formula!

We believe Boomers is the best natural protein powder because it is sourced from only the highest quality milk from grass fed, hormone-free cows, it contains abundant naturally-occurring branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s) and 3 essential amino acids that produce glutathione which is vital for recovery, growth and disease resistance.

Boomers whey protein powders are produced using the most delicate and in our opinion, the best possible extraction method, being ultra-filtration and cross-flow microfiltration. The manufacturing process is all done cold so that the end result is undenatured whey protein, the best possible amino acid profile with a great tasting natural flavour. By using this strictly controlled manufacturing process and only the highest quality raw materials, there is no need for us to “spike” the powder with additional amino acids for example.

What is in the bag? When we say 100% whey protein, we literally mean it. There is nothing else in the bag other than premium quality, natural protein powder. During manufacture a negligible amount (about 1%) lecithin is added so that the powder will mix easily. Boomers adds no flavouring, sweetener, bulking agents, additives, preservatives or anything else. Boomers is just the good stuff – Nothing else!

Some suppliers blend their protein powders – Boomers has never done this, not since the day we were established in 1997.

A commonly asked question is what is the difference between Boomers Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)?

They are similar products and it essentially boils down to personal preference and budget. WPC requires less processing during manufacture and so it is less expensive. Some people prefer WPC over WPI for these reasons. When whey protein powder is made, the filtration process removes some of the naturally occurring carbohydrate and fat. For WPI, additional filtration occurs to remove almost all of the carbohydrate and fat in order to “isolate” the protein.

It is common to hear that WPC is for adding weight and WPI is for “leaning out” or that WPI is “better” than WPC. The facts are that the average difference will be only a few kcal per serve (depending on the brand) so in reality, both can be used for either goal.

Boomers 100% Creatine Monohydrate

Our “go to” supplement for anyone looking to get the most out of their training in the gym or other athletic activity.
Inexpensive and very effective.
Very fine micronised powder that mixes easily in water and is highly absorbable.
For most people, a 3 to 5 grams (5 grams = 1 teaspoon) per day creatine dosage is sufficient to achieve full saturation of the muscles within 2 to 3 weeks of continued use.

Why Creatine Monohydrate?
Other forms of creatine supplements are available, and may claim to be absorbed quicker or you need less because it’s concentrated for example. Creatine monohydrate saturates creatine stores 100% and is the cheapest available option.

What is creatine and how does it work?
Creatine is found in meat and fish, but some is “cooked off” during a meal preparation. Most people can store and use much more than is found in a regular diet. For an example, you need 1.1 kg of raw beef to get 5 grams of creatine (Harris, 1992). For most individuals, you get a benefit from creatine without "diminishing returns" from 0.05 grams of creatine/kilogram of bodyweight (Examine, 2016). This translates to 5 grams per day for a 100 kg individual, many users opt to increase intakes to 5-10 grams per day because it is an inexpensive supplement and there is the possibility of increasing the effects.

Creatine works in your phosphocreatine energy system to create ATP (energy) through the phosphagen energy system, this is the “shortest” energy system lasting 10-30 seconds, it resynthesizes stored creatine phosphate in skeletal muscles. Any athlete who expends very large amounts of energy in short time periods benefits the most from creatine monohydrate supplementation. Supplementing with creatine may help you in increasing the length of time you can use the phosphagen system and the amount of times you can resynthesize creatine phosphate for more ATP production, for instance grinding out an extra few reps or sets or holding on to a sprint for longer.

Research and FAQ about Creatine...
Is Creatine Safe?
Creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements available, it is safe to use (Shao, 2006). If there are issues it is likely to do with taking too much too quickly or from not drinking enough water when you are supplementing creatine. Issues with bloating, diarrhoea and cramping have been noted but mainly with insufficient water intake (Groeneveld, 2005).

Do I need to cycle or load Creatine?
In our view, cycling creatine is unnecessary, it has not been shown to have any benefit and long-term creatine use has been shown to have very few side effects in most individuals (Groeneveld, 2005). Loading creatine monohydrate is useful if you want to saturate the creatine content in your muscles faster - Take in 4x the regular daily intake for one week (Examine, 2016). Be careful with jumping straight into loading if you’ve never tried creatine before and drink plenty of water!

When is the best time to take Creatine?
Our advice is take your creatine at whatever time of day is most convenient, whether it be in the morning, just before or just after exercising - It really comes down to personal preference.

In our view, exactly when you take creatine probably makes little difference because once your body has reached full creatine saturation (within 2 to 3 weeks of continued use) it is always readily available to your muscles. In addition, regardless of the time of day you take your creatine, it will eventually be absorbed by the muscles.
