Fortitude is your all-day, everyday amino acid supplement, specifically formulated to supply your body with all of the essential amino acids (EAAs) and branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) needed for muscle growth, tissue repair, and protein metabolism.
Fortitude is stimulant-free and can be consumed before, during, or after your workout to support muscle building and protect against muscle breakdown. It isn’t only for the gym though – use it any time of the day to help increase water intake or use it as a low-calorie snack between meals to promote anabolism. Every serve of Fortitude also includes valuable electrolytes to optimise hydration and refuel mineral stores.
Leucine is the powerhouse that flips the switch on muscle protein synthesis, the process which aids in muscle repair, recovery, and growth.
Leucine’s ‘little brother’, isoleucine stimulates protein synthesis however to a smaller degree than leucine. Isoleucine also enhances glucose utilisation during exercise, allowing for better energy production.
Valine supports energy conversion and glycogen synthesis in muscle tissue. Equally important is its ability to boost endurance and delay the onset of fatigue due to valine ‘blocking out’ tryptophan uptake into the brain. Valine and tryptophan compete for the same receptor in the brain, with valine winning each and every time. As a result, tryptophan cannot enter the brain and be converted into serotonin which ultimately offsets fatigue.
Complementing the three BCAAs are the other six essential amino acids (EAAs) required for muscle protein synthesis. Among these EAAs are lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine, and methionine. In addition to their role in supporting protein synthesis, the EAAs serve a critical role in cell repair, energy production, digestion, and neurotransmitter synthesis. They also help protect against unwanted muscle breakdown, which can occur during intense training.
