(PRWEB) January 6, 2005 -- Animal, a division of Universal Nutrition, a New Jersey-based sports nutrition and supplement manufacturer, launched a new amino acid supplement with an exclusive delivery system, Animal Nitro G. Animal Nitro G is the first and only supplement on the market that contains a unique blend of essential amino acids plus 35g of dextrose -- a supercharger that helps transport those important amino acids to the muscles.

Just like the original best-selling Animal Nitro which comes in capsules, Animal Nitro G contains the same uncoupled" essential amino acids formula with ratio and types of aminos based on the composition of human muscle protein itself. Uncoupled" forms of essential aminos are free of all chemical bonds, making them extremely efficient and highly utilizable. Animal Nitro G has an added benefit of 35g of dextrose, a simple carbohydrate that assists in transporting the essential amino acids to the muscles to help prevent catabolism and increase anabolism.

According to recent research, small doses of essential aminos have the ability to stimulate protein synthesis, increase anabolism, and promote a positive net nitrogen balance. Only the essential aminos are needed to promote these effects and non-essential amino acids are just not required. For example, in one of the most recent studies done at the University of Texas, a mixture of essential aminos and simple carbs has been shown to help preserve muscle mass in individuals who stopped exercising for 28 days. The placebo group or those who didnt take the essential aminos/carbs combo lost about a pound of leg muscle on average and leg strength. This study looked at the essential amino acids that, unlike their non-essential counterparts, can only be obtained from diet or supplementation. The body cannot manufacture the essential amino acids by itself.

Animal Nitro G offers a choice of essential amino acids in a convenient packet that contains a delicious grape flavored drink that mixes well, tastes great, and goes down easily. If you prefer capsules, you can always choose the original Animal Nitro, which comes in quick-dissolving capsules, eight in each pack. Both Animal Nitro G and Animal Nitro are the new gold standard in amino acid supplementation.

Animal Nitro G can be found in GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and other fine health food stores. For more information, please visit www.AnimalPak.com.
