Key Takeaways

• Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the building blocks for the body’s muscles, and when supplemented, lead to optimized performance and a quicker recovery.

• Creatine, when supplemented, is critical for increasing muscle strength and volume–it also improves cognitive functioning.

• When EAAs and creatine are taken together, recovery will be quickened and muscle volume will increase.

• Strength training, endurance-focused workouts and active lifestyles are all benefited from daily consumption of a balanced blend of EAAs alongside creatine.

• Enhance gains with Oh!mino® Muscle Synthesis Activator and Creatine Complex, delivering all nine essential amino acids, including BCAAs, electrolytes, and adaptogens to accelerate muscle growth, recovery, and performance.

Optimizing Performance: EAA + Creatine Stacks

Many athletes use many supplements in order to increase performance.  This may look like energy drinks, pre-workout powders or herbal supplements.  While these products may have their places, two supplements stand out from the rest: Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) and Creatine.  Below, we will explain what these supplements are and how, when combined, they will radically improve your athletic output.

Essential Amino Acids

Many products claim to consist of EAAs, yet not many products have balanced ratios.  Unbalanced ratios will not harm the consumer, but it will be money wasted on inefficient products.  What are EAAs and how does one properly consume them?

What are Essential Amino Acids?

Essential Amino Acids are the building blocks for muscle growth.  Some products advertise Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) efficacy, however, your body does not wholly benefit from BCAAs alone.  Protein molecules are made of amino acids, but not enough for optimal muscle synthesis.  Your body can produce some amino acids, but it cannot produce EAAs, even though they are essential for more efficient muscle growth and recovery.  When the body has enough EAAs, muscle growth is quickened and recovery times are shortened because the body has what it needs!

Benefits

Quicker muscle growth and a speedier recovery window will follow EAA consumption.  It will reduce fatigue during workouts and give you improved mental focus.  After a workout, muscles are in a state of disrepair.  In order to fix the inflicted microtears and feel energized the following day, EAAs are required.

Through Diet or Supplementation?

Fish, eggs, meat and dairy all contain EAAs; eating protein-rich meals is crucial for health and longevity.  However, the amino acids found in these foods will digest slower and are not in high enough ratios to promote intense muscle synthesis.  EAA supplements drive the amino acids straight into your system in a ratio optimized for muscle.  Our Muscle Synthesis Activator has a complete, patented blend of EAAs, alongside electrolytes for hydration and herbal adaptogens for increased absorption.  For EAAs, supplementation is the way to go.

Creatine

Creatine has become widely used in the athletic space due to its high efficacy and zero drawbacks (for healthy adults).  Many brands sell creatine with varying dosages.  Our patented Creatine Complex uses two micronized forms of creatine for efficient absorption and muscle volume increase.

What is Creatine?

Creatine was discovered in the 20th century as molecules in meat that grows muscle.  Olympians began supplementing it before the rest of the population started consumption.  It has been through over 1000 clinical trials, proving its safety and efficacy.

Benefits

Creatine stimulates more muscle growth, leading to more volume.  It also improves cognitive functions, heart health and may assist in the treatment of concussions.  It may also be beneficial for the health of pregnant women.  Unless one has a preexisting health condition (always consult first with a doctor), creatine is completely safe for consumption by healthy adults.

Through Diet or Supplementation

Though creatine is found in meat and fish, it is not in a high enough quantity for meaningful body composition change.  By supplementing creatine, one is giving the body enough to actively increase muscle volume.  Supplementation is key for creatine.

Stacking

“Supplement stacks” have increased in popularity in recent years.  What exactly does this entail and is it useful?

What is Supplement Stacking?

Supplement stacking entails consuming two or more supplements per day in order to maximize benefits in different capacities.  One may drink a pre-workout, take BCAAs, consume herbal pills, chew on a multivitamin and then take fish oil.  Any combination of fitness-related products constitute a stack.

What Does a Proper Stack Look Like?

A proper stack is whatever one’s fitness goal is at the moment.  However, the more products added to a stack, the more money each month is spent on supplements.  It can add up quickly.  Being mindful of the body’s true needs can mitigate this spending, which is why stacking EAAs with creatine is all you need for improved athletic performance.  

How to Best Stack EAAs with Creatine

It is simple: take EAAs with creatine!  They will collaboratively enhance performance and lead to larger muscles with quicker recoveries. 

Performance

A change in performance is the most critical measure when discussing fitness supplements.  If it is not increasing endurance or strength, then it is not worth the money.  How does performance realistically differ between workouts without supplements and workouts with EAAs and creatine?  

Performance Without Supplements

Without taking EAAs and creatine, gains will be slow.  Muscle recovery may be hindered by inflamed tissue and energy levels will fluctuate significantly.  Progress can still be made, but it is at the cost of longer recoveries and more tissue wear.

Performance With EAAs

With EAAs, muscle synthesis will be improved, recovery time will be shortened and you will experience increased focus.  The adaptogens in our Muscle Synthesis Activator will improve your mood while reducing tissue inflammation and supporting improved blood flow.  You will also feel less sore after workouts! 

Performance With Creatine

With creatine, muscle volume will be increased.  Your body must respond to the intake of creatine, leading to improved muscle recovery and muscle size.  By stimulating ATP production, the body’s muscles will be able to lift stronger and push harder, leading to greater gains.

A Stacked Performance

Together, improved athletic performance will result.  You will have more energy for each workout and increased strength.  By giving your body what it needs for recovery and strength, you are priming yourself for a life of health and longevity.

Dosing and Timing

What is the best timing to take these supplements?  Is performance affected by how much you take?  Does it matter?

For EAAs

With our Muscle Synthesis Activator, it is best to prep your body with one to two scoops about 20-30 minutes before working out.  Taking one scoop of our MSA intra-workout will give you continued focus and energy.  After exercising, take one to two scoops of our MSA within 30 minutes in order to stimulate muscle synthesis when your body needs it the most.

For Creatine

Timing matters less for creatine, but some studies have shown taking it after a workout yields efficient results; as long as you supplement daily, the body’s ATP stores will remain high.  If you are new to creatine and wish to start strong, take five to six scoops per day for five to seven days, followed by a daily dose of one to two scoops.  Otherwise, stick to one to two scoops of our patented Creatine Complex each day! 

For Example   

Take one scoop of our Muscle Synthesis Activator 20-30 minutes before a workout.  Drink one scoop of our MSA intra-workout.  Take one to two scoops of creatine and one scoop of our MSA post workout!

Benefits for the Everyday Warrior

Consuming EAAs and creatine provide the athlete with numerous benefits.  However, it also benefits active adults and those who strive to prioritize their health.

Strength Training

For those who prefer weight lifting, EAAs are vital for muscle recovery.  The all-natural ingredients found in our MSA will maximize focus and improve blood flow.  You will notice more reps and bigger pumps.  Creatine will increase your muscle volume; the results you work hard for will be more noticeable.  Soreness will be lessened, allowing you to hit the gym daily.

Endurance Training

Those who opt for cardio will be benefited by the increased blood flow and energy provided by EAAs and the herbal adaptogens in our MSA’s blend.  The electrolytes present in our MSA will keep you from dehydration as you break plateaus.  Endurance will be increased and you will be able to approach each session with renewed energy.

Active Lifestyle

For those who lead active lifestyles, the benefits from EAAs and creatine are for you, too!  Our MSA will keep your muscles supplied and the electrolytes in our blend will keep your hydration balanced.  Creatine will improve your cognition and keep your body ready for action.  This truly is a winning combination.
