In all normal metabolic processes, the carbohydrate sources of energy account for 90% of the body’s requirement of energy, especially among non-body builders. For body builders however, and other athletes who are in intensively active lifestyles, carbohydrate sources of energy are sometimes inadequate. And to add on to the energy supply, some non-carbohydrate sources of energy argument. There are however very many misconceptions and fallacies that circulate in the body building industry today, about resultant muscle wastage when the body starts using of energy substrates from non-carb sources.

Different forms of amino acids go through different levels of metabolism. In accounting for the metabolic speed and efficiency of the different amino acid forms, it is useful to consider their bio-availability Bio-availability refers to the speed and ability of nutrients to be absorbed and availed to the tissues after ingestion. More bio-available forms take shorter delays after ingestion before they are available to body tissues. The free-form amino acids for instance, do not require any digestion. They are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream immediately after ingestion without any conversion or breakdown processes taking place. Consequently, the free form amino acids become more available to the muscles than any other amino acid form. Once they get absorbed into blood, the free form amino acids are readily available to the muscles and any other body tissues. One key advantage of ingesting adequate ...
