The Facts About Protein, Aminos Acids and EMEND™

I would take a moment to clarify something about EMEND™, our Heat Recovery Formula, and amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks that make up proteins. Typically, these aminos are not separately listed on the ingredient labels of protein containing products. One exception is when individual amino acids are added to the product, over and above what is normally found in the protein used. For example, in EMEND™, we use high quality whey protein isolate (after an extensive international search to find this protein). This high quality whey protein isolate supplies an industry leading amount of component amino acids, and therefore we do not add extra amino acids to the formula. It is for this reason that EMEND™ does not have these aminos listed separately.

For your convenience, we have listed them out for you below so that you can see exactly what you are getting from each serving (3.8grams/8 oz) of the particular brand and type of whey protein isolate we use. For more information on protein, see “Science of EMEND™” under “Protein” and “Crash Course” at www.emend.cc .
