can you recite the alphabet backwards
0:01
but eaa is still leaving you a bit
0:03
confused ever heard someone talking
0:05
about eas and thought they might be a
0:08
ott well you might want to keep watching
0:13
i'm katie broughton product developer at
0:15
my protein and i'm going to give you the
0:19
could be you knew this
0:21
first things first what are eaas ea
0:24
stands for essential amino acids which
0:27
are the building blocks of protein
0:29
imagine them as a chain of compounds
0:31
made from the elements carbon nitrogen
0:33
hydrogen and oxygen and when these
0:36
smaller chains combine together they can
0:38
make a larger protein molecule for us to
0:40
be able to use the protein that we eat
0:42
our bodies have to break it down into
0:44
individual amino acids which can then be
0:47
used for functions like supporting
0:48
muscle during training and creation of
0:51
new muscle mass there are nine essential
0:53
amino acids sometimes called
0:55
indispensable amino acids so called
0:57
because our bodies can't make them and
0:59
so they must come from our diets some of
1:01
the most common sources of these are
1:03
poultry meat and eggs so our vegan
1:06
friendly impact eas can be particularly
1:08
useful for those following a plant-based
1:11
diet or as a more cost-effective way to
1:13
get the nutrients you need for your
1:15
macro goals especially if you have a
1:17
high protein target to try and achieve
1:19
which can mean a lot of food and time
1:21
spent meal prepping or cooking so why
1:23
choose impact eaas our impact eaa powder
1:27
blend contains all of the eas and an
1:30
optimal four one one ratio of bcaas
1:34
branched chain amino acids leucine
1:36
isoleucine and valene these have been
1:39
shown in clinical studies to induce fat
1:41
loss promote muscle growth and maintain
1:43
overall exercise performance the ratio
1:46
is important because each of the amino
1:48
acids do different things
1:50
leucine is one of the most important for
1:52
protein creation and muscle growth hence
1:54
why it's included at a higher ratio than
1:56
the other two as two additional helping
1:58
hands isoleucine's primary function is
2:01
to boost energy and recovery and veiling
2:03
works to repair and maintain healthy
2:07
what's the difference between impact
2:08
eaas and whey protein well both eaas and
2:13
the whey protein have the same amino
2:15
acid profile but eaas contain an added
2:18
quantity of the bcaas in the optimal
2:20
ratio for muscle building plus unlike a
2:23
protein powder like our impact whey
2:25
protein where you're looking at 100
2:27
calories a shake for those all-important
2:29
aminos impact ea contains zero calories
2:32
and zero sugar yep you heard that right
2:35
zero some people will find that super
2:36
helpful especially if they're working
2:38
towards a weight loss goal or are
2:40
following a restricted calorie diet you
2:42
can still get amino acids you need to
2:44
support your training without having to
2:45
worry about it not fitting in with your
2:48
plus if you're looking for a lighter
2:50
drink or impact eaa blend mixes to be
2:52
more like a refreshing juice than a
2:54
milky protein shake the pink grapefruit
2:56
is a personal favorite so which one
2:58
should you choose both impact whey
3:00
protein and impact eias are a great
3:02
choice if your priority is muscle
3:04
building so it all comes down to
3:06
personal preference as mentioned impact
3:09
eaas might be a better choice if you're
3:10
trying to reduce your calorie intake and
3:12
prefer a lighter shake with our impact
3:14
eia blend you can be safe in the
3:16
knowledge you're getting the optimal
3:17
ratio of amino acids to hit your goals
3:20
why not try them both and see what works
