The HDAA Revolution: Elevate Your Fitness and Wellness

Aspartic acid, like ornithine, is very important for removing waste nitrogen by helping the body to form urea.. Aspartic acid also has many functions in the body including nerve transmission, resorption of sodium in the sweat and the enhancement of energy metabolism. This amino acid is also a critical component needed to make the special bases that are used to construct the body's DNA and RNA. So...

Ornithine is not used for making proteins, but has many roles important roles in daily metabolism and supporting an active lifestyle. As a high demand amino acid, it is used in multiple metabolic pathways to form key components in the body and it is also lost in great quantities in sweat. Ornithine plays a very important role in the removal of waste nitrogen, helping the body to form urea. If this...

Are you interested in losing fat? Finding it hard to shift weight on various diets? You need to have enough of the right resources to enable your body to utilise and burn off the fats. Lysine is an essential amino acid that we need to take in the diet. It has a very special function where it is used to build carnitine to enable you to use fats for energy. If you are not getting enough lysine, then...

In this episode we explore the various attributes of serine, a very important high-demand amino acid. Serine is needed to make the complex lipid molecules that form your membranes in the body - this is especially important for keeping the brain healthy and functioning at its peak. As a follow-on, healthy membranes in the brain can also help you sleep better. And the better you sleep, the better yo...

Whilst amino acids are generally available from foods, highly active humans or those with chronic health issues, may not receive appropriate proportions of the HDAA to meet the daily requirements. Understanding their roles and how they are used up faster than other amino acids allows us to for an efficient strategy for effective supplementation. Join Hugh and Tim as they talk about the amino acid...

Welcome to the second season of “The HDAA Revolution”, where we will take you through a journey to discover what the high-demand amino acids can do for you. Your hosts Hugh Dunstan and Tim Roberts have over 30 years of research experience and will introduce each of the HDAA to show you just how important they are to sustain good health and wellbeing. Our goal is to bring to light key features of h...

It is important to understand how fluid loss during exercise impacts your capacity to perform. In the loss of sweat fluid, you lose electrolytes and high-demand amino acids. By taking fluids electrolytes and HDAA, you can comprehensively replenish vital components that help you maintain your focus, concentration and full functionality of the body.

When you sweat, you can easily lose 500mL to 2 litres of fluid per hour. You can lose more in hot conditions and when it is hot, manual laborers can lose 10-14 litres per day . Most people know that you lose electrolytes in this sweat fluid and that it is important to replenish electrolytes as well as fluid. But most people do not realise that you also lose amino acids. In particular, you lose a g...

The immune defence system uses vast quantities of amino acids to build the necessary immune proteins your need to fight infection. When you are ill, the body will need to break down muscle proteins to supply sufficient quantities of amino acids to meet the demands of the immune defence. Supplementation with HDAA can help reduce the levels of muscle wasting.

Undertaking exercise to stimulate muscle repair and growth is vital as we get older, and it is also important to provide the HDAA to help reduce the need to break down muscle proteins.

Whilst amino acids are generally available from foods, highly active humans or those with chronic health issues, may not be receiving appropriate proportions of the HDAA to meet the daily requirements.

Utilisation of the HDAA during normal daily activities are much higher than the other amino acids. It is important to replenish these amino acids in appropriate proportions to meet the daily requirements to support well-being. Welcome to The HDAA Revolution, where science meets everyday fitness and wellness. In this ground-breaking series of podcasts, hosts Hugh Dunstan and Tim Roberts, seasoned b...

Today we are going to introduce to you the exciting new concept of high-demand amino acids - known as HDAA - and begin to show you how supplementation with these amino acids could really help you achieve your goals for a healthy and active lifestyle.
