Amino Acids and aging

Trailrun23 · ‎05-31-2022

Have seen new amino acid products that promise to help rebuild lost muscle mass and thicken hair that is due to aging. Apparently the specific amino acids help the body process protein better so it can do its job. The claims seem pretty miraculous....have you tried Perfectaminos? I was just curious about anyone's experience with it.

Never heard of it, but after seeing you're supposed to take 5 big chalky pills a day, I'm out.

Try Googlng Perfect Aminos Reviews. Specifically, you might want to look at the one by illuminate Labs. Some interesting stuff there to consider.

My questions would be do you really need this? Can you increase your muscle mass by incorporating a little strength training? Also what are any side effects of the individual ingredients?

I found, for example, that supplemental amounts of biotin-- sold as an innocuous hair grower--can cause insomnia. It did with me, big time.

Read the ingredient list carefully! Some of those advertised "youth" compounds contain HGH in some form or other.

@Trailrun23 I do a lot of research before considering supplements....especially one that requires ingesting 5 huge pills with several complaints of powder in the bottle. You might want to take a look on Amaz-- for BCAA bulk supplements vegan in powder form....over 10,000 reviews, if you decide to take this route.

If you want to go this route (main reason for amino acids is for recovery from strenuous workouts). I would be sure that my lifestyle is supporting my goals (in your case weight loss/hair growth) before resorting to supplements. How is your diet, sleep, exercise, stress levels. I might suggest you use Chronometer (free) to see what is nutritionally lacking and where and if supplementation might play a role.

Wishing you the best!

Why would someone question a supplement to others and not ask their doctor about it first?

Only a certified and licensed medical doctor can prescribe a HGH. It is considered a controlled substance by the FDA.

Yes, I understand what those are. But those supps do not contain actual human growth hormone. They contain 'booster' and 'releaser' substances which are suppose to increase our body's natural HGH levels by stimulating the hypothalamus gland. Possession of any HGH-containing supp can land you behind bars. It's a controlled substance and the DEA will be knocking on your door if you have it w/o a Rx.

HGH is administered by injection. If you ingest HGH it won't do anything b/c stomach acids destroy it before it can get absorbed into the bloodstream.
