“Essential amino acids are
necessary for laying down
new tissue in muscle”,
notes Marie Spano,

Strength and Conditioning
Association’s Guide to

The trick, though, is
taking them all at once
and in the correct amounts.

You can tap into Optimum Nutrition’s

of muscle fi bres are key to
muscle health”, Wolfe
observes. “And consump-

He should know.
He’s been grappling
with creating the perfect
amino acid profi le to build
muscle for most of his life.
And after 17 years of
research, million in grants,
and 20-plus human clinical
trials, Wolfe has patented an
essential amino acid
formula that delivers all
nine EAAs (the BCAAs
leucine, isoleucine, and
valine, plus six others:
methionine, phenyl alanine,
tryptophan, threonine,
lysine, and histidine). This
formula provides up to
three times more anabolic
response and a net gain of
muscle protein compared
with the same amount of
whey protein.
Some of his studies
on people confi ned to
bed rest for 30 days even
showed that properly
formulated EAAs actually
reversed muscle loss and
boosted strength by 28%.
That’s huge — proof they
can go right to where
they’re needed, with just the
right ingredients for
maximal muscle response.
Essentially, the EAA
code has been cracked. And
taking a simple supplement

technology can start making
you fi tter, stronger, and
healthier today. OK, you
can pick the dumbbells back
