EAA Hydrate - GymBeam

EAA Hydrate is a powdered sports drink designed to replenish fluids and selected nutrients before and during training, as well as on hot summer days. It combines essential amino acids and electrolytes, so you do not need to take them separately.

EAAs make up 55% of its weight, providing 5,000 mg per serving. The body cannot produce these essential amino acids on its own, so they must be obtained from the diet. Three of them are BCAAs, or branched-chain amino acids. Together, they provide 2,550 mg per serving, with leucine accounting for half, giving a ratio of 2:1:1.

The electrolyte blend contains magnesium, calcium, sodium and chloride, supplemented with coconut water powder. The formula also includes 50 mg of coenzyme Q10 and 200% of the NRV (nutrient reference value) for vitamins B6 and B1.

During a demanding workout, you lose two things at once. You lose electrolytes (minerals) through sweat, while exercise increases your muscles’ need for amino acids. Most people address this with two separate products: an electrolyte drink and EAAs.

EAA Hydrate combines both in one scoop. You get 5,000 mg of all essential amino acids along with 4 electrolytes: magnesium, calcium, sodium and chloride.

Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance, helping maintain the right levels of important ions in the body. It also supports normal muscle function, helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Each serving provides 75 mg (20% NRV).

The magnesium in this product also comes in the form of highly absorbable magnesium citrate, an organic salt.

It is accompanied by 120 mg of calcium (15% NRV), which contributes to normal neurotransmission. Nerve impulses are the signals the nervous system sends to muscles to tell them to contract.

The electrolyte blend also includes 600 mg of coconut water powder.

Coenzyme Q10 is found throughout the body, hence its other name, ubiquinone. It is particularly abundant in mitochondria, the parts of cells where nutrients are converted into energy, and in organs with the highest energy demands.³

It is part of the electron transport chain, where it acts as an electron carrier. It receives electrons from substances produced during the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats and passes them on, thereby contributing to the production of ATP, the form of energy that cells actually use.³ EAA Hydrate contains 50 mg per scoop.

• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. It is an excellent addition to an amino acid-based drink because amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and glycogen is the fuel your body uses during training. Vitamin B6 also contributes to normal energy metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is included for the same reason. It contributes to normal energy metabolism, supports the normal functioning of the nervous system, and contributes to normal psychological function.

Each serving contains twice the reference intake of both vitamins. Together with magnesium and calcium, the product offers more than 20 approved health benefits.
