Essential Amino Acid Supplement

3 Ingredient EAA Gummies for More Lean Muscle & Better Sleep

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are the building blocks of protein. They’re ‘essential’ because the body can’t synthesise them itself, and they must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It can be difficult to eat enough high-quality protein to give your body the optimum amount of EAAs, especially if you’re active, recovering from injury, or want to stay active as you age.

EAAs support metabolism, protein muscle synthesis, workout recovery, bone density, hormone balance, mental focus and sleep. This recipe combines the benefits of all 9 essential amino acids from the Apple & Kiwi flavour Love Life Supplements Essential Aminos Drink, with the benefits of gelatine. Gelatine is high in glycine, an amino acid that your body uses to create proteins and stimulate the production of collagen for hair, skin and joint health. Gelatine also enhances muscle and gut health, improves sleep, as well as being a powerful antioxidant and a key component in detoxification.

Use these low-carb gummies to support both activity and rest; take 2 before a workout to support muscle building, and 2 before bed to support your sleep.
