DESCRIPTION
If you’re serious about gains, you need to start, live, and end your day in an anabolic environment. So, start with ALL DAY YOU MAY. This is exactly what you need for maximum muscle recovery and growth and can be enjoyed throughout the day, between meals, and following a workout.
Unlike lesser quality BCAAs on the market, ALL DAY YOU MAY or simply ADYM, features a number of powerful ingredients to maximize performance including HICA which improves Leucine utilization. What's the point of a clinical dose if you can't get the benefit from it!?
There are also several exclusive blends to provide you with digestive enzymes, joint support, electrolytes, liver support (NAC), and strong intracellular buffer led by beta-alanine to help you push past muscle fatigue. Did we mention that ADYM also tastes insanely good!? Only the best and only from Rich Piana's 5% Nutrition.
BCAA Blend – Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine – 6 Grams
Of the three BCAAs, Leucine is the one that has the most research supporting its ability to stimulate protein synthesis. We use an innovative 10:1:1 ratio which means you’re getting a HUGE 5-gram dose of this powerful anabolic activator in every serving of ADYM for maximum effect. The additional two BCAAs work synergistically with Leucine to promote greater results than Leucine can by itself.(1)
Essential Amino Acid Blend – L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Histidine, L-Methionine – 155 mg
The latest clinical studies indicate that protein synthesis is stimulated to a greater degree if additional EAAs are included, which is why we have added them to the formula.(2)
Conditionally Essential Amino Acid Blend – L-Glutamine, L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, N-Acetyl l-Cysteine (NAC) – 2,800 mg
What are CEAAs or Conditionally EAAs? They are amino acids that cannot be made by the body under certain conditions, such as stress. We can’t think of anything more stressful than the brutally tough workouts you put yourself through several times a week so to us it makes perfect sense to include them in ADYM.
Glutamine - A big part of dealing with the stress of an intense workout is recovery and that’s where Glutamine comes in. This is an amino acid that can help keep you in an anabolic state and it’s no coincidence that it works synergistically with the BCAAs to stimulate protein synthesis, act as an anti-catabolic during training, and promote post-workout recovery.(3)
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – We’ve included this version of Carnitine because it supports testosterone production. It doesn’t get any more anabolic than that!
NAC – One of the drawbacks of bodybuilding is the stress we put on our livers. It just comes with the territory. So we included NAC, a powerful ingredient that supports liver health and function. If you consider all the food and supplements most hardcore bodybuilders take in it should become apparent why you want to think long-term as far as keeping your liver healthy and functioning at peak levels.
Amino Acid Support Blend – L-Taurine, Raw Coconut Water Concentrate, HICA, Bromelain, Blueberry Fruit Powder – 960 mg
Taurine – This is a popular amino acid that’s often included in energy drinks and pre-workouts. We’re using it here for its powerful cell volume effects. Taurine pulls water into the muscles, hyper-hydrating them and blowing them up big time!
Coconut Water Concentrate – If you’re sweating, it means you’re working hard. It also means you’re losing electrolytes. If you don’t replace the electrolytes you’ve lost, you risk muscle cramps as well as dehydration. Coconut Water is a complete fluid replacement ingredient: it has vitamins, the key electrolyte minerals, anti-oxidants, amino acids, and enzymes for advanced hydration.
HICA (Alpha-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid) – This is a metabolite of Leucine that works synergistically with the BCAAs & EAAs to stimulate protein synthesis. Additionally, it binds ammonia in the muscles during hard training thereby blocking fatigue.(4)
Blueberry Fruit – This is amongst the most effective antioxidants on the market and helps your immune system combat workout-induced free radicals.
Bromelain – This is the digestive enzyme that’s found in pineapple and has been added to ADYM to help you digest the high-levels of protein most bodybuilders consume. You want the full benefits of the protein you take in, right?
Intra-Cellular Buffer Blend – Beta-Alanine, Dicalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate – 800 mg
Because the act of training is catabolic it tears down muscle tissue and drains glycogen stores. Your muscles react and a spike in lactic acid levels occurs, downing pH levels to prevent your muscles from enduring more damage. You know this as "muscle failure". We want to interrupt this process so you can push past the point failure and keep going deep into the growth zone.
The intra-cellular buffer helps to form a barrier between your muscles and this dramatic increase in lactic acid as your pH levels decrease in an attempt to halt the muscle breakdown.
Joint Support Blend – D-Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium, MSM – 600 mg
You hit it hard every time you walk in the gym and strap on your belt. You can bet your muscles aren’t the only thing taking a beating. Your joints are too – your knees, elbows, and shoulders the most. That’s why ADYM includes a joint support complex and we’ve used two of the most powerful joint ingredients available. Trust us, you’ll thank us later!
