Optimising performance with amino acids
The capacity for digestion is substantially reduced during exercise since blood is diverted to the muscles to provide extra oxygen and nutrients and to efficiently remove waste products. So where do the amino acids come from during exercise? Here, Hugh explains that you get your high-demand amino acids from the breakdown of your own muscle proteins.

- Your performance
- Recovery
- Your ability to maintain muscle mass.
