N’ERGIZED AMINO The performance-driving, muscle-building power of Branched-Chain Amino Acids is now supercharged! Introducing, N’Ergized Amino Instantized BCAAs - a powerhouse of precision formulation. And when we say, "precision," we mean it. You see, unlike "typical" energy and pre-workout products, this dynamic formula is not bogged down by ingredient overload. We are definitely not interested in "wowing" you with a long amino supplement facts panel. We'll leave that strategy for the "other guys." Instead, we are interested in getting you results. N’ergized Instantized BCAAs offers a precise, efficacious dose of four anabolic amino acids: the three Branched-Chain Amino Acids and L-Glutamine.* Why just these four? Of all the branched amino acids, these four may offer the most direct impact on supporting growth, recovery and lean muscle preservation.* Now, we could have included a few more of the essential amino acids into the mix (like other products), but we just didn't see the need. Why would we add more types of amino acids into the formula when we could just add higher amounts of the ones that really matter? Remember, this is a precision formula.

QUALITY

Of course, nothing but the absolute best amino acids available would do for this product. After all, we're Axis Labs. You can count on us to formulate with premium grade ingredients. That's why all of the branched-chain amino acids in INSTANTIZED N’Ergized Amino are only ultra-premium AjiPure® Amino Acids - the pinnacle of quality. Derived exclusively from botanical sources, AjiPure® Amino Acids are instantized for maximum solubility, bioavailability and absorption.* For you, this means easy mixing, a super clean taste, no gritty residue, and ultra-fast amino acid availability.*

PERFORMANCE

The question that may still be burning in your mind is, "Why incorporate caffeine into a BCAA formula?" The answer is really quite simple. We developed N’Ergized INSTANTIZED Amino to deliver pure performance.* Now, let's define "performance." Performance is a term most often associated with physical performance. However, there is such a thing as "mental performance." Incidentally, physical performance and mental performance are not independent. For example, it is difficult to achieve a great workout if you are not focused. Likewise, staying focused during a workout is difficult when your body is sore from the last training session.*

INVIGORATION

Caffeine is a naturally-occurring compound that offers three invigorating benefits.*

First, caffeine is well noted for its role in supporting focus and mental acuity.*
Second, caffeine is associated with influencing lipolysis - the breakdown of stored fats for use as fuel.*
Third, caffeine supports strong muscle contractions through "mind-muscle" connections.*

These powerful factors make caffeine and the Branched Chain Amino Acids a perfect match for a wide range of scenarios. For example, many athletes use BCAAs prior to a training session to support energy production and lean muscle protection.* Regular users of BCAAs report that a mid-afternoon serving helps them to stay energized while supporting recovery.* Still, others consume BCAAs first thing in the morning to start "feeding" their hungry muscles.*

In each of these examples, the mind and muscle-supporting attributes of caffeine offers a complimentary host of benefits.*

RESULTS

INSTANTIZED N’Ergized Amino is the ideal addition to virtually anyone's supplement regimen. Use Instantized N’Ergized INSTANTIZED Amino instead of coffee for a delicious, "eye-opening" jolt of invigorating muscle support.* Use a scoop of INSTANTIZED N’Ergized Amino before a workout to help fully engage the body and mind for an intense training session.* Use mid-afternoon for a muscle-fueling "pick-me-up."* When you need something to clear the mental "cobwebs" at work, try a scoop of INSTANTIZED N’Ergized Amino for support.* Bottom line, INSTANTIZED N’Ergized Amino is all about fueling results.*

A GUIDE TO BCAAS

For years, Branched-Chain Amino Acids have been hailed as having a unique capacity to support performance, recovery and growth…and for good reason.* Human muscle is comprised of a specific sequence and ratio of essential amino acids (EAAs), a substantial portion of that ratio being the BCAAs: L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. Now, intense exercise and sport requires volumes of readily available fuel to power muscles.* As the body's energy reserves become depleted, it may begin converting amino acids into useable fuel. Here is where things get interesting. The BCAAs (and Glutamine) are some of the very first amino acids to be "stripped" from muscle to be used for energy.*

Since such a large portion of muscle protein is comprised of the BCAAs, and because the BCAAs are the first to be "pulled" from muscle during exercise, it goes without saying that re-supplying damaged muscles with BCAAs post-exercise has profound, growth and performance-specific support implications.* This elevates the role of amino acids post-workout from being a suggestion to a necessity for the long-term development of your muscles.

THE POWER OF INSTANTIZED BCAAS (IBCAA)

At Axis Labs, we always take the science of performance supplementation to the next level. You see, we simply could have just formulated a standard BCAA recovery product and launched it as something "new and exciting." However, our integrity and pride for excellence continually guide our every move.

As such, we tasked ourselves to develop a truly unique BCAA supplement. So, we went back to the proverbial "drawing board" of BCAA research. What we found was "instantized" AjiPure® BCAAs. This was groundbreaking news. You see the BCAAs are, by nature, are rapidly assimilated into the body. However, through instantizing technology, BCAAs may be launched at hyper-physiological speeds to hungry muscles.* Simply put, ultra-fast absorption of BCAAs offers the potential for them to support performance, growth and recovery faster, and more efficiently than previously possible.* Our muscle recovery, amino acid products allows you to better maintain your gains after your intense workout sessions.

THE 2:1:1 FACTOR

Although all three of the Branched-Chain Amino Acids are highly important, one of them stands apart as a growth-inducing juggernaut*; L-Leucine.

L-Leucine triggers an array of "downstream" metabolic pathways that directly and indirectly support performance.* For example, not only does L-Leucine support protein synthesis (that's muscle growth), it also functions as a trigger for insulin production and release.* Insulin, as you may well know, is a highly anabolic hormone that "delivers" nutrients to tissues; thus supporting performance, growth, and recovery.* In order to take full advantage of the power of L-Leucine, we formulated INSTANTIZED N’Ergized Amino with a 2:1:1 ratio (L-Leucine: L-Isoleucine: L-Valine).

L-GLUTAMINE

Glutamine, by far, is the most abundant free amino acid in the body, and in muscle tissue. Furthermore, Glutamine is used in a broad range of physiological processes that are not necessarily "bodybuilding" related.* In fact, much of naturally produced Glutamine may be quickly "ravaged" by the body before it even has a chance to go to work in muscle recovery. This makes Glutamine a "conditionally essential" amino acid for tissue repair. In other words, in times when your body can't make enough of its own Glutamine to sustain all of its needs, it "becomes" essential.* Therefore, supplemental Glutamine may be incredibly beneficial. So, we obviously had an obligation to include a dose of Glutamine in our new formulation. True to our nature, we didn't just go with just "any old" Glutamine—that is not the Axis Labs way. We chose the very best source of Glutamine we could find—AjiPure® Glutamine, to be specific. AjiPure® Glutamine is a premium, pharmaceutical-grade product produced under stringent cGMP manufacturing regulations.

Don’t trust just any muscle recovery pill for your post-workout program. You can rely on Axis Labs to provide you with the best amino acid supplements for muscle recovery. INSTANTIZED N’Ergized Amino is clearly the only logical choice for serious athletes. It’s delicious, refreshing, and engineered for optimal amino acid performance.
