When you think of recovery in the sense of muscles, what comes to mind? Muscle soreness? Muscle growth? Nutrient replenishment? All of the above? When it comes to exercise, recovery is a necessary response to tearing down muscle fibers and using up key nutrients that allow muscles to function properly and efficiently. Should the muscle not recover properly, it can lead to deficiencies within the muscle, which can then lead to issues in performance and the possibility of muscle catabolism. That’s where EAAs come into the equation.

When it comes to muscle growth, people tend to think very narrow in the sense that it comes down to the actual workout being completed and the recovery process that follows.  While both of those are crucial for improving muscle growth, a vital piece of the puzzle is actually blood flow. The one thing many people chase while in the gym is a pump.  This pump is known more specifically as vasodilation and it’s when the blood vessels expand to allow for greater blood flow which can lead to enhanced muscle growth.
