Ross Nutrition Juven Orange 30 pckts

Juven Overview

Juven is a Latin word meaning "young" or "youthful" and is the origin of the word "rejuvenate". Juven is also the name a very popular muscle-support supplement that is formulated to rejuvenate muscle. The special formula is ideal for older individuals and is measured into convenient single-serving packets for ease of use. Juven is designed to support the growth and maintenance of muscle tissue, and contains a patented blend of three key amino acid compounds including HMB, L-arginine and L-glutamine.

HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine. It is often used as a supplement by bodybuilders and athletes undergoing intense strength-training regimens. HMB's main benefits are minimizing muscle loss, maintaining muscle mass and supporting muscle repair during post-workout recoveries or long periods of inactivity.

The formula also contains L-arginine, which is not considered an essential nutrient under normal circumstances, but becomes an essential nutrient in humans under severe metabolic stress. These conditions can occur when an individual faces malnutrition syndromes or is recovering from wounds or surgery. L-arginine is also involved in supporting the immune system and in the release of anabolic human growth hormone.

Like L-arginine, L-glutamine is another conditionally-essential amino acid. It is involved in many different processes throughout the body including muscle growth and maintenance, pH balance, detoxification, immune function and intestinal function. Muscle tissue in the body contains most of our glutamine and muscle acts as the body's reservoir of glutamine. When the body needs glutamine, muscle tissue can and will be cannibalized (broken down) to release stored glutamine for use elsewhere. Juven acts as a source for glutamine when the diet or natural production fails to meet demands. This helps prevent the need to dip into muscle stores, preserving muscle mass and reducing waste. For individuals that are trying to maintain bodyweight and muscle mass, it's important to have a dietary source of glutamine available. Bodybuilders have known this for decades, which is why supplemental glutamine is popular amongst those that are trying to build or preserve muscle mass.

Ross Nutrition has formulated Juven into a pleasant tasting drink mix that should be easy for anyone to use. The drink mix is pre-measured into packets and is designed to dissolve completely for a smooth, fresh-tasting drink you'll love. The supplement has an orange flavor and is perfect as a pre-meal treat or post-workout boost. All three of Juven's primary ingredients are natural and easy on the stomach. Any adult can use Juven to safely support muscle growth and lean body mass retention.
