Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An adequate quantity of lean body mass is vital for optimal health and performance, and is accrued when net protein balance (NPB) is positive. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and when consumed following resistance exercise, significantly improve NPB.

However, no study has investigated how a supplement of all of the essential amino acids (EAA) affects NPB following resistance exercise in a free-living, home-based setting, particularly when compared to a supplement of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA).

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a novel EAA supplement on anabolism (e.g., NPB) as compared to BCAA and placebo supplements following home-based resistance exercise.

Novel essential amino acid supplementation (EAA+)

Arm will investigate the effect of a novel essential amino acid-based formula (essential amino acids enriched with active botanical compounds; EAA+) developed by Iovate Health Sciences International Inc. on post-exercise anabolism. The formulation was recently granted a Natural Product Number (NPN: 80087022) and approved by the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate of Health Canada.
