Description

Ultimate Nutrition’s Amino Gold delivers naturally occurring amino acids for optimal nutritional support. Amino acids are responsible for the production of over 50,000 proteins and 15,000 enzymes (including digestive enzymes) in the body. They are required to build the proteins used for the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues, including muscle. Amino acids also play a key role in concentration, sleep, sex drive, and liver detoxification.

Amino Gold contains the highest quality amino acids derived from 100% natural enzymatic digests of whey protein isolate. Whey protein is one of the two main proteins in milk (casein is the other milk protein). Whey proteins contain an optimal combination and concentration of amino acids that promote positive nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein). Amino Gold’s whey protein enzymatic digest maintains high levels of protein in the muscle for optimum muscle mass and repair.

Amino Gold also includes the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. As people grow older, methionine and cysteine levels decrease considerably. Studies suggest that these amino acids may help promote life span. One study showed that cysteine supplementation prolonged the life span of guinea pigs. This suggests that maintaining optimal levels of methione and cycteine may help prolong longevity in humans.

Taking a full spectrum amino supplement such as Ultimate Nutrition’s Amino Gold can help support optimum health, promote maximum muscle growth and enhance muscle repair.

Pros

Ultimate Nutrition’s exclusive, specially processed enzymatically digested whey protein isolate increases protein digestion and amino acid absorption for easy assimilation into the body. Amino Gold contains all of the predigested whey protein fractions such as Beta Lactoglobulin, Alpha Lactalbumin, Glycomacropeptide, Immunoglobulins, Proteose Peptones, Serum albumin and Lactoferrin.

The nutrients in Amino Gold have numerous benefits including:

• Promotes optimum health
• Supports maximum muscle growth
• Enhances muscle repair
• Prevents amino acid deficiencies

Cons

Ultimate Nutrition recommends taking 3 capsules three times daily, which adds up to 9 capsules a day. For some people, this can be a lot of capsules to take on a daily basis. However, many will find that the results are worth the inconvenience, delivering a full spectrum of amino acids to promote optimum health.

Although few side effects have been reported with the short-term use of amino acids, mega-dosing may result in potential side effects. This may include excess nitrogen to excreted as urea in urine, which has been linked with reduced kidney function.

People with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), depression, Reye’s Syndrome, kidney or liver disease should not supplement with amino acids without consulting a physician.

Be aware that some drugs may interact with the nutrients in Amino Gold including:

• Chemotherapy
• Cisplatin
• Cyclophosphamide
• Docetaxel
• Fluorouracil
• Methotrexate
• Paclitaxel
