Alpha Amino Gummy Bears

Hey all! I was inspired by recipe I had seen for Cellucor C4 gummies...so here is my modified version featuring the Alpha Amino gummies!  Alpha Aminos contain 5g of BCAAs and 11 additional amino acids including glutamine.  Amino acids are quickly absorbed into the blood stream and don't need to be digested--so they can fuel your muscles faster and more efficiently.  The alphas contain leucine too, maximizing the body's ability to fuel muscle, preserve muscle glycogen stores and reduce protein breakdown.  It's chia seed extract contains all eight essential amino acids as well as omega-3s, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium and fiber.  The Alpha Aminos are available at cellucor.com.
