9 EAAs + L-Arginine · ~3.25 g Per Scoop

Why MuscleRescue

A precision blend built around all 9 essential amino acids plus L-arginine - not just the 3 branched-chain aminos found in typical BCAA powders.

Backed by science

The 9 essential amino acids and L-arginine are amino acids involved in muscle protein synthesis, the biological process the body uses to build and repair muscle tissue after exercise or during periods of reduced activity.

The CanPrev difference

Each scoop delivers a complete 10-amino-acid precision blend (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, plus L-arginine) - vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free and made in Canada.

Advanced Ingredients, Superior Results

Ten real amino acids in one precision blend - each with a distinct role in muscle protein synthesis, recovery and everyday amino acid needs.

L-Leucine

The most studied essential amino acid for muscle protein synthesis - leucine directly activates the mTOR signaling pathway, the body's key trigger for building muscle tissue after eating or exercise.

1191.20 mg per scoop

L-Lysine

An essential amino acid the body cannot make on its own; it is a building block for muscle protein and is involved in the body's normal growth and tissue repair processes.

497.45 mg per scoop

L-Valine

One of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs); valine contributes to muscle protein synthesis and is broken down into metabolites released by muscle during exercise.

327.27 mg per scoop

L-Isoleucine

A branched-chain amino acid distinct from leucine's signaling role; isoleucine has been studied for its role in glucose uptake into skeletal muscle.

317.45 mg per scoop

L-Arginine

A functional amino acid and the primary substrate for nitric oxide synthesis in the body, supporting healthy blood flow to tissues including skeletal muscle.

294.54 mg per scoop

L-Threonine

An essential amino acid the body cannot produce; threonine is a structural component of muscle and connective tissue proteins.

278.18 mg per scoop

L-Phenylalanine

An essential amino acid required for normal protein synthesis; the body also uses it to make other important compounds.

199.64 mg per scoop

L-Methionine

A sulfur-containing essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and normal metabolic function.

98.18 mg per scoop

L-Histidine

An essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and tissue maintenance, and a precursor the body can use to form other nitrogen-containing compounds.

49.09 mg per scoop

L-Tryptophan

An essential amino acid the body cannot make; it is a building block for protein synthesis and for other nitrogen-containing compounds the body produces.

1.96 mg per scoop

What the research says about essential amino acids & L-arginine

Peer-reviewed studies and reviews on the essential amino acids and L-arginine in this formula - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. MuscleRescue's own claims are the statements authorized under its Natural Health Product licence, NPN 80113660.

Protein Synthesis

Peripheral EAA levels drive muscle protein synthesis

A study compiling data across multiple protein and free-amino-acid formats found that a 100% increase in peripheral essential amino acid concentration was linked to about a 34% increase in muscle protein fractional synthetic rate.

Human study
Church et al., Nutrients (2020)
Protein Synthesis

Free-form EAA formats support anabolic signaling

A review compared free-form essential amino acids, intact protein and mixed meals, concluding that EAA-driven feeding strategies can be leveraged to support muscle protein synthesis and whole-body protein turnover.

Review
Gwin et al., Nutrients (2020)
Protein Synthesis

A complete amino acid profile beats isolated BCAAs

A narrative review update concluded that while branched-chain amino acids can activate anabolic signaling pathways, their stimulatory effect on muscle protein synthesis is smaller than the response to a complete protein source providing the full complement of essential amino acids - the rationale for a full 9-EAA blend rather than BCAAs alone.

Review
Kaspy et al., Nutrition Research Reviews (2023)
Muscle Preservation & Aging

Umbrella review on nutrition for sarcopenia

An umbrella review of systematic reviews evaluated nutritional interventions - including essential amino acids and leucine - for muscle mass, strength and physical performance in older adults, finding leucine had the best evidence for supporting muscle mass in sarcopenic seniors.

Umbrella review
Gielen et al., Nutrition Reviews (2021)
Muscle Preservation & Aging

Protein and amino acid intake in sarcopenia prevention

A review of nutritional factors in age-related sarcopenia highlighted protein and essential amino acid intake, alongside physical activity, as the main anabolic stimuli for muscle protein synthesis in older adults.

Review
Yanai, J Clin Med Res (2015)
Muscle Preservation & Aging

Combined exercise and nutrition in older adults

A systematic review of 37 randomized trials found physical exercise consistently improved muscle mass and function in adults 60 and older, with dietary supplementation (including essential amino acids) providing an additional benefit in a subset of studies.

Systematic review
Beaudart et al., Osteoporos Int (2017)
Post-Exercise Recovery

Leucine and leucine-glutamine speed recovery

A double-blind trial found that oral leucine, and leucine plus glutamine, increased the rate of strength and jump-height recovery compared with placebo after eccentric exercise.

Human RCT
Waldron et al., Amino Acids (2018)
Post-Exercise Recovery

Leucine and post-exercise force output

A study found that leucine supplementation around eccentric resistance exercise helped maintain peak isometric force output across the following days compared with placebo.

Human study
Kirby et al., Amino Acids (2011)
Post-Exercise Recovery

Leucine-enriched BCAA and recovery after resistance exercise

A controlled trial examined whether enriching a standard BCAA supplement with extra leucine improved recovery of power output and muscle soreness after high-intensity resistance exercise.

Human RCT
Osmond et al., Int J Sports Physiol Perform (2019)
Arginine & Circulation

L-arginine is the primary substrate for nitric oxide

A review described L-arginine as the essential substrate for nitric oxide synthesis in the body, with oral arginine intake within physiological ranges linked to increased nitric oxide production and blood flow to tissues including skeletal muscle.

Review
Wu et al., Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (2021)
Arginine & Circulation

Nitric oxide precursors and muscle performance

A review of nitric-oxide-stimulating supplements described how L-arginine, as a NOS-dependent precursor, supports endothelial relaxation and blood flow that may favorably affect skeletal muscle performance.

Review
Gonzalez et al., Nutrients (2023)
Arginine & Circulation

Nitric oxide metabolism and exercise

A review of nitric oxide metabolism explained the arginine-dependent NO synthase pathway and its role in regulating vascular tone and skeletal muscle contractile function during exercise.

Review
Jones et al., Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2021)
Low-Dose Efficacy

A low-dose EAA/protein blend outperformed a whey recovery drink

A study found that a low-dose composition of free-form essential amino acids plus whey protein (6.3-12.6 g total) produced a greater anabolic response, per gram of product, than a popular whey-based recovery beverage.

Human study
Park et al., J Int Soc Sports Nutr (2020)
Low-Dose Efficacy

Low-dose whey with leucine or EAAs matched a full protein dose

A controlled trial found that supplementing a small 6.25 g whey protein dose with leucine or additional essential amino acids stimulated postprandial muscle protein synthesis as effectively as a full 25 g whey protein dose at rest.

Human trial
Churchward-Venne et al., J Physiol (2012)
Low-Dose Efficacy

Leucine enrichment lets a lower dose match a higher one

A randomized trial found that a lower-protein beverage supplemented with a higher dose of leucine stimulated muscle protein synthesis comparably to a much larger 25 g whey protein dose.

Human RCT
Churchward-Venne et al., Am J Clin Nutr (2013)
Inactivity & Disuse

EAAs may help offset muscle loss during immobilization

A review of dietary protein and amino acids in immobilization and aging concluded that acute essential amino acid ingestion (with sufficient leucine) can help restore the postprandial muscle protein synthesis response that is blunted during bed rest or immobilization.

Review
Cholewa et al., Amino Acids (2017)
Inactivity & Disuse

Disuse atrophy occurs with unloading, from bed rest to spaceflight

A review described how skeletal muscle mass, strength and function decline under conditions of low mechanical load - including bed rest, immobilization and spaceflight - and discussed nutrient supplementation as one intervention of interest.

Review
Brooks & Myburgh, Frontiers in Physiology (2014)
Inactivity & Disuse

Essential amino acids as a bed rest countermeasure

A review on bed rest and sarcopenia in older adults concluded that essential amino acid supplementation shows promise as a therapeutic strategy to minimize the muscle and functional decline associated with unanticipated bed rest or hospitalization.

Review
Coker & Wolfe, Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care (2012)
Safety & Tolerability

Establishing a safe upper intake for leucine

Dose-ranging studies in young and elderly men identified the leucine intake level at which blood ammonia rose above normal, informing a tolerable upper intake level for daily leucine supplementation.

Review
Elango et al., J Nutr (2016)
Safety & Tolerability

Arginine safety in adults

A review of oral L-arginine safety in adults concluded that arginine supplementation has been used safely in several populations, with an observed safe level for oral intake of about 20 g per day and no serious adverse effects at higher short-term doses tested.

Review
McNeal et al., J Nutr (2016)
Safety & Tolerability

Risk assessment for common supplemental amino acids

A quantitative risk assessment of taurine, L-glutamine and L-arginine found no consistent pattern of adverse effects in human trials at typical supplemental intakes, supporting their favorable safety profile.

Risk assessment
Shao & Hathcock, Regul Toxicol Pharmacol (2008)
Protein Quality & Timing

Distributing protein intake boosts 24-hour synthesis

A crossover trial found that spreading protein intake evenly across breakfast, lunch and dinner stimulated 24-hour muscle protein synthesis about 25% more than skewing most protein toward the evening meal.

Human RCT
Mamerow et al., J Nutr (2014)
Protein Quality & Timing

Amino acid completeness shapes the anabolic response

A review comparing plant- and animal-based proteins concluded that a relative lack of specific essential amino acids (and lower leucine content) in some plant proteins can reduce the muscle protein synthetic response compared with proteins carrying a fuller essential amino acid profile.

Review
van Vliet et al., J Nutr (2015)
Protein Quality & Timing

Why a full essential amino acid profile matters

A review examined the theoretical and empirical basis for BCAA-only supplementation and concluded that, because the other essential amino acids needed for new muscle protein can only come from dietary intake or existing muscle breakdown, a complete essential amino acid supply is needed to support net muscle protein synthesis.

Review
Wolfe, J Int Soc Sports Nutr (2017)
