What is EvoEaa's?

EvoEaa's by HSNsports is a flavored food supplement powder, suitable for vegetarians and vegans, without lactose, gluten or egg, formulated with a complete essential amino acid spectrum. It contributes to preserving and gaining muscle mass!

Amino acids are the smallest units that make up protein and they are responsible of its effects in the organism. There are a total of 20 amino acids in the body that make up our muscles. 9 of them are essential, which means that we need to take them because our body is unable to synthesize them.

EVOEAA's is a product that contains all the essential amino acids in their free form in order to improve their absorption! [1]

Why take EvoEaa's?

But, if amino acids help us gain muscle mass... What is the difference between them and a protein?

A protein is a long chain of bound amino acids, so it is not absorbed as such. It has to be broken down during the digestion so that our body will be able to absorb the free amino acids.

EvoEaa's is a product that provides the 9 amino acids that your body needs in its free form; this is quite useful, since amino acids are quickly absorbed due to the fact that they cross the intestinal cell barrier, skipping all the previous stages for the breakdown that every protein chain has to go through, which delay its absorption. [2]

Once the amino acids reach the blood, they can be used to keep the bones healthy, as well as to increase the muscle mass.

When we work out, the body increases the blood flow to the muscle so that the amino acids can enter the muscle cells. When the workout is over, the muscle system sets a series of processes into motion in order to repair the damaged muscle, using these amino acids as if they were 'bricks' in order to create big protein structures. Consequently, our muscles will grow bigger and stronger in order to face the hardest workouts! [3]

EVOEAA's provide quality amino acids in adequate proportions!

The amino acids from EvoEaa's have been formulated with an L- isomer (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-Valine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-histidine and L-phenylalanine). The L- form is the one that our body is capable of transporting through the bloodstream with more efficiency, the amino acids with a D- isomer use the same transport system but they do not have the same affinity, which makes their absorption more difficult.

The EvoEaa's are obtained through a vegetable fermentation process, avoiding the extraction of said amino acids from animal sources which tend to use the hair or feathers, as well as fish remains [4]. Actually, this is a very common practice in the food industry that reduces the production costs considerably, but it heavily conditions the final product.

Our amino acids come from vegetable sources. Thus, they are suitable for vegetarians and vegans!

EvoEaa's have more essential amino acids than other high quality protein sources such as chicken breast.

A serving of EvoEaa's (13.5g) provides the same amount of essential amino acids than 107g of chicken breast!

When is the best time to take EvoEaa's?

EvoEaa's is made up by the 9 essential amino acids from protein. Therefore, you can take it at any time of the day, just like protein. But, thanks to their free form, they have been specially designed for those moments when you need to take a quick protein supply [1] such as before, during and after the workout.

Graphic that shows the how the amino acid discharge to the bloodstream is faster; the dashed line is for the free amino acids and the continuous line is a complete protein. [1]

How to take EvoEaa's?

EvoEaa's is a powdered product and it has been designed to mix it in water. We suggest not mixing more than an 8% of solid elements (amino acids, mineral salts, carbohydrates...) in the drink in order to keep a good hydration. [5]

How can we combine EvoEaa's?

• Evocarbs: A combination of carbohydrates and electrolytes that will help you stay hydrated and improve your recovery.
