A method and composition for preserving muscle mass and function by increasing muscle protein synthesis and/or decreasing muscle protein degradation in mammals is disclosed. In one embodiment, the mammals are administered a protein building composition comprising at least two of an essential amino acid, an amino acid derivative, and a nitrogenous organic acid. In a particular embodiment, the protein building composition comprises leucine, L-carnitine, and creatine. The protein building composition can decrease TNF- and increase mTOR expression in muscle.

The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for supporting exercise performance or activities of daily living. The compositions described herein are pharmaceutical or nutritional compositions suitable for enhancing exercise performance. The compositions are based on a specially formulated mixture of essential amino acids (EAAs) with additional components. The compositions target support of muscle protein synthesis and reduction of muscle breakdown during exercise, increasing muscle blood flow during exercise, decreasing the perception of fatigue by supporting optimal availability of neurotransmitter precursors, providing energy for rapids bursts of exertion during exercise, and maintaining adequate electrolyte balance during exercise.
