Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)

Muscle growth (hypertrophy) is primarily driven by resistance training, adequate protein intake, and sufficient caloric surplus, leading to increased muscle size and strength. Hormonal factors, rest, and genetics influence the rate and extent of this process.

Muscle mass increases when resistance training is combined with sufficient amino acids, particularly essential amino acids, to fuel muscle protein synthesis. This leads to repair and growth of muscle fibers, enhancing strength and lean body mass.
