Cortisol/Testosterone Study

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether short-term amino acid supplementation could maintain a short-term anabolic hormonal profile and decrease muscle cell damage during a period of high intensity resistance training (overreaching), thereby enhancing recovery and decreasing the risk of injury and illness. The results indicate chronic Nutri-Build II supplementation which is high in branched chain amino acids can augment significant increases in circulating testosterone while suppressing training induced increases in cortisol and muscle tissue damage.

Major Findings of This Study

Nutri-Build II, an amino acid supplement high in branched chain amino acids, is capable of significantly decreasing the elevated cortisol response of intense resistance training.

Testosterone levels may be significantly increased during intense training if accompanied by the use of the supplement, Nutri-Build II

Markers of skeletal muscle damage in response to chronic high intensity resistance training can be significantly decreased with concomitant Nutri-Build II usage.
