Recovery is everything in athletics. If you train hard, you want to be able to bounce right back and get training again. When you are training, you are constantly breaking down muscle fibers that need to be repaired in order to get stronger.

The Master Amino Complex from Purium Health Products is one of the best supplements out there. I have taken this product and I can tell you right now that all of my training numbers have improved daily. From weight, to body fat, and even Power (watts), I have felt a significant improvement.

Supplementing with a mixture of amino acids may lead to quicker muscle recovery after exercise and could reduce muscle damage caused by strenuous exercise, reports the Journal of Nutrition (2006;136:538S–43S).

Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins in the body. Twenty different amino acids are used for the growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues, and some of these are also used as an energy source for skeletal muscle. Nine amino acids are considered essential because the body cannot manufacture them, so they must be acquired through diet.

Here is a great overview of the importance and the roles amino acids play in the human body. http://bit.ly/g0nbMX
