Understanding sports – training is only half the journey!

Muscle growth, increased strength, better endurance — these are the goals of every athlete. But many forget: training is only the stimulus that tells your body to adapt. Real growth, performance gains, and adaptation all happen during recovery. Without sufficient amino acids, antioxidants, omega-3, minerals, and energy, your body cannot regenerate, cannot grow, cannot get stronger. In fact: overtraining without proper nutrient support leads to muscle breakdown, injuries, a weakened immune system, and performance stagnation.

Muscle growth: how it really works

When you train, microscopic tears form in your muscle fibers. That’s the stimulus. During recovery, your body repairs these micro-tears and rebuilds the fibers stronger and thicker so they can handle the next training load. This process is called supercompensation — and it requires three things:

1. Amino acids — the building blocks of muscle protein
2. Energy — for cell repair and growth hormone release
3. Time — enough sleep and recovery

If even one of these is missing, your body builds little to no muscle — and in the worst case, starts breaking it down.

MyAMINO – 99% net amino acid utilization with no metabolic burden

Most athletes rely on whey protein or low-quality amino powders. But whey has a net utilization of only 16–32% — the rest becomes metabolic waste that strains your kidneys and liver. Whey also contains lactose (digestive issues!), calories (100+ kcal per shake), and often sugar and artificial flavors.

MyAMINO® is completely different: it delivers all 8 essential amino acids in the optimal ratio (MAP — Master Amino Acid Pattern) with a net utilization of over 99%. That means: almost everything is used for muscle building, and almost nothing becomes metabolic waste. MyAMINO® is nearly calorie-free (just 1 kcal per serving!), vegan, sugar-free, filler-free — and absorbed by your cells in just 23 minutes.

Perfect for:

1. Strength athletes — maximum muscle growth, minimal metabolic load
2. Endurance athletes — fast recovery without heavy digestion
3. Cutting & definition — muscle preservation in calorie deficit, almost zero calories
4. Vegans & vegetarians — complete amino profile without animal products
5. Older athletes — gentle on kidneys and liver
6. Fitness enthusiasts — firm tissues, collagen building, no unnecessary calories

Recovery — the most underestimated performance factor

Many athletes train too much and recover too little. The result: overtraining. Muscles don’t grow, performance plateaus, fatigue increases, injury risk rises.

Muscle growth does not happen in training — it happens during recovery, especially during sleep.

While you sleep, your body releases growth hormone, repairs cells, and builds muscle — but only if the right nutrients are available: amino acids for protein synthesis, antioxidants for oxidative stress, omega-3 for inflammation control.

MyAMINO provides the building blocks for nighttime muscle regeneration. Glutathion comp. protects your cells from oxidative stress and supports nighttime detox. AlgaeDHA (omega-3) reduces inflammation and boosts recovery speed.

Oxidative stress — the dark side of training

Training is healthy, but intense exercise also produces large amounts of free radicals. These aggressive molecules damage your cells, muscles, mitochondria, and DNA. The more intensely you train, the more free radicals you produce — and the more antioxidants you need to neutralize them.

Without enough antioxidants, training accelerates aging, weakens your immune system, and increases injury risk.

Active H® provides the highest redox potential of all known antioxidants. It neutralizes free radicals at the cellular level, protects your mitochondria, and supports ATP production. Glutathion comp. adds your body’s most important antioxidant for cellular protection and regeneration. eyeCQ combines astaxanthin (one of nature’s strongest antioxidants), vitamin C, and Q10 — for comprehensive muscle, mitochondrial, and heart protection.

Over-acidification — soreness, cramps, and performance loss

Intense training produces lactate (lactic acid) — your body becomes over-acidified. Over-acidification leads to muscle soreness, cramps, performance drops, and slow recovery. Your body pulls magnesium and calcium from your bones to buffer acids — resulting in mineral deficiencies and increased injury risk.

VitalBASE® with apple pectin balances over-acidification with alkaline minerals, provides electrolytes (magnesium, potassium), and binds toxins in the gut. For faster recovery, less soreness, and better performance.

Omega-3 — for balanced inflammation in muscles and joints

Intense training causes micro-inflammation in muscles and joints — this is normal and necessary. But chronic inflammation (through overtraining, poor diet, low omega-3) slows recovery, promotes injuries, and causes joint pain.

Omega-3 fatty acids like EPA help maintain balanced inflammation, reduce soreness, protect joints, and promote faster healing.

AlgaeDHA provides EPA and DHA from pure algae — for healthy inflammation levels, mobile joints, and fast recovery. Free from additives, 100% vegan, sustainable.

Q10 & mitochondria — energy at the cellular level

Your mitochondria are the power plants of your cells — they produce ATP, the energy behind every muscle contraction. The more mitochondria you have and the better they work, the more energy you have for intense training. Coenzyme Q10 is essential for ATP production.

But from age 30 onward, your natural Q10 production declines — resulting in fatigue, slower recovery, and decreased performance.

eyeCQ delivers high-dose Q10 combined with astaxanthin and vitamin C — for powerful mitochondria, more energy, and better endurance. Active H further supports ATP production with its unique redox potential.

Firm tissue & collagen — for definition and stability

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body — giving your skin firmness, your tendons stability, your joints elasticity. Without enough protein, your body can’t build a strong collagen network.

Firm, tight tissue is a key goal for many athletes: reducing cellulite, improving definition, tightening skin. But no cream in the world can supply collagen from the outside — it must be built from within.

MyAMINO® supplies the building blocks for fresh collagen — for firm connective tissue, elastic joints, and strong tendons. Nearly calorie-free, highly bioavailable, vegan.

Vegan muscle building — can it work without animal protein?

Yes — with the right amino acids. Many vegan protein sources (rice, pea, soy) have incomplete amino profiles or low utilization. MyAMINO delivers all 8 essential amino acids in the optimal ratio — 99% efficiency, vegan, no soy, no gluten.

Perfect for vegan athletes who want to build muscle without animal products.

How to train and recover optimally

The golden equation: Training + Nutrition + Recovery = Success

1. Training: 3–5 times per week, mix of strength and endurance
2. Nutrition: High-quality protein (1.6–2.2 g per kg body weight), healthy fats, fiber, plenty of vegetables & fermented foods
3. Recovery: 7–9 hours of sleep, 1–2 rest days per week, active recovery (yoga, walking)
4. Nutrients: MyAMINO® (muscle growth & recovery), AlgaeDHA (omega-3), VitalBASE® (acid–base balance), EyeCQ (vitamin C, antioxidants, Q10)

Give your body time: 8–12 weeks for visible results. Muscle building is not a sprint — it’s a marathon.

Beauty from within — why no cream will ever be enough

Glowing skin, shiny hair, youthful radiance — it all comes from within. Your skin reflects your cellular health: oxidative stress, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, low collagen — all show up as wrinkles, dullness, and pigmentation. No cream can replace what’s missing on the inside.

The solution: antioxidants (Active H, Glutathion, eyeCQ) protect your skin cells, omega-3 (AlgaeDHA) reduces inflammation, amino acids (MyAMINO) build collagen, vitamin D (VitaDK plus) supports cell renewal. From the inside out — for radiant, healthy-looking skin.
