MP AMINO 1 BLACK LABEL

MusclePharm Amino1 Black is part of MusclePharm’s new Black Label Series. As the name implies, Amino1 Black is an amino supplement designed to enhance energy, stamina, hydration, and recovery.

Let’s take a closer look at everything there is to know about MusclePharm Amino1 Black to see if it is worth checking out, and I will also let you know how my experience was with it.

An Overview of Ingredients

MusclePharm Amino1 Black is packed with several different amino acids as well as an energy and hydration system. Here’s a closer look at several important ingredients in MusclePharm Amino1 Black’s profile:

Each serving provides  glutamine, which is an amino acid supplemented with to improve immune function and gut health. Glutamine also is used to provide fuel for several important cell functions and is also shown to improve muscle function by increase glutamine stores in some individuals. [1]

Taurine has been noted as being able to improve blood flow. People who do anaerobic exercise supplement with taurine to improve the muscle pump–aka skin splitting pumps.

MusclePharm Amino1 Black also provides BCAAs in a 3:1:2 ratio, L-leucine, L-valine, L-isoleucine. BCAAs are used to combat delayed onset muscle soreness post workout, and l-leucine has even been studied for its ability to improve muscle protein synthesis.

To boost energy, MusclePharm throws is caffeine anhydrous and green tea leaf extract, both of which are taken to provide  steady boost of energy to enhance workout performance.

Coconut water powder tops off MusclePharm Amino1 Black, providing an additional boost to stay hydrated during intense workouts.

I would have loved to see more amino acids that improve muscle pump, like citrulline malate and arginine.

However, there are already quite a bit of amino acids, and the formula is fairly well-rounded. And the fact the the ingredient amounts are listed is a big plus to consumers. So, bravo to MusclePharm for that.
