You may have heard that Bod•ē Thirst contains amino acids, but unless you’re an athlete or a Registered Dietitian you may not know what amino acids do for your body. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein — and protein builds muscle and supports many critical functions in the body.* Proteins also function as enzymes and transport nutrients for cellular metabolism.*

Because physical activity can put stress on the body’s muscles and tissues, it’s important to supplement the body with protein-building amino acids so it can naturally repair and restore.* Bod•ē Thirst is packed with 1,500 milligrams worth of three amino acids to help support your body during or after a workout: L-alanine, L-arginine, and L-glutamine. By adding Bod•ē Thirst to your workout regimen, you are supporting your overall health, fitness and performance level.* Amino acids can also aid in recovery after a challenging and active day, since stress can also deplete the body’s supply of amino acids.*
