InnovAAte products contain six High-Demand Amino Acids (HDAA)—the amino acids most rapidly lost through sweat, stress, and exertion. Each one can play several vital roles, including:

Building energy systems and fast tracking recovery
(glycine, histidine, lysine)

Collagen formation and skin resilience
(glycine, serine, histidine)

Immune and hormonal function
(histidine, glycine)

Mental sharpness and neurotransmitter balance
(aspartic acid, glycine, serine)

Detoxification and energy regulation
(ornithine, glycine, aspartic acid)
Why High-Demand Amino Acids (HDAA) Matter
When you sweat, your body loses more than just water.
It loses key amino acids—the tiny building blocks your body needs to repair muscle, build energy resources, support your immune system, and keep you performing at your best.
These are called High-Demand Amino Acids (HDAAs)—and your body burns through them fast when you’re under physical stress, like exercise, illness, or heat.
Here’s the catch: Two of these amino acids are essential—your body can’t make them on its own. If you don’t get enough from what you eat or drink, your body starts breaking down muscle to get them — putting your performance and recovery at risk. Although the body can make the other four HDAA, it can't always keep up with demand during exercise and an active healthy lifestyle. So again, your body starts breaking down muscle to get them.
And what about other sports drinks and protein powders? They don’t replace these HDAA fast enough—or at all. Protein powders need to be digested, which means support is hours away.
InnovAAte is different.
We use free-form amino acids your body can absorb right away—no digestion needed. That means less breakdown of muscles and therefore faster recovery, less soreness, and more energy to do the things you love—without running on empty.
Latest Insights
When it comes to fuelling exercise and speeding recovery, most athletes reach for protein shakes. They’ve become the go-to solution for muscle repair and performance support. But here's the truth: protein shakes alone are not enough—especially during and immediately after intense physical activity.
While many are aware of the need to replace lost fluids and electrolytes, there's a lesser-known yet crucial component to consider: High-Demand Amino Acids (HDAAs).
When it comes to post-exercise recovery, most athletes and fitness enthusiasts focus on replenishing fluids and electrolytes. However, recent research highlights a critical oversight: the significant loss of High-Demand Amino Acids (HDAAs) through sweat during exercise.
