Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are essential for health, recovery, and performance. There are approximately 20 amino acids that have been identified, but only nine are deemed essential because the body cannot synthesize them on its own. So it’s important to consume a sufficient amount of essential amino acids (eaas) on a daily basis through food and/or supplementation. The Grind is our premium eaa, bcaa, + hydration formula that’s designed to be used before, during, and/or after training to enhance recovery, hydration, and performance. In total, you’re getting 7.5 grams of amino acids in every scoop, which will help boost recovery by decreasing muscle protein breakdown and increasing muscle protein synthesis. In addition to the Eaa’s and Bcaa’s, The Grind contains several ingredients that further promote recovery, hydration, and performance, such as: l-glutamine, raw coconut water concentrate, betaine anhydrous, l-ornithine akg, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) it’s versatile, tasty, and excellent for boosting recovery, performance, and hydration. Since The Grind doesn’t contain any stimulants, you can take it any time of the day, even on rest days. Not to mention, The Grind uses fermented amino acids, so it's vegan-friendly!
