It is known that when stress increases, total caloric needs increase and are usually met by the breakdown of protein into amino acids, sugars and phosphate bonds. At least 30% of the diet should be made up of amino acids when the body is under stress because stress breaks down protein at an amazing rate. This formula contains those amino acids known to act within the body in a regulatory capacity on overall protein metabolism and protection; these amino acids are used in larger amounts, more than any other during stress. These specific amino acids act to complement the body's natural powers of inhibiting needless breakdown of protein material as well as inhibiting the inappropriate cannibalistic utilization of other amino acids, keeping the body's fund of amino acids safe from being leached by needless stress. As the body stops this breakdown, the emotional effects and physiological feedback of stress and anxiety are also diminished.

Also of some secondary interest to athletes, these same amino acids used by the body to inhibit the breakdown of protein are used by the body to build up muscle tissue. When exercising, stress is encountered within the body and if sufficient free form amino acids are not available, especially those amino acids found within this formula, catabolic (the breaking down of cellular material) reaction will not be offset by anabolic (building up) reactions.
