FAQ

Will I feel a rush when I drink Focus Zone? No. Focus Zone provides energy in its purest form. Subsequently, there is no "crash" associated with drinking Focus Zone. What you will notice is your body continuing to perform at the peak of your ability and your mind able to remain focused over a longer period of time.

What are amino acids? Amino acids are simply the building blocks of all proteins. By ingesting protein in its simplest form, you save your body a step in the digestion process, absorbing it more quickly than a heavy protein bar or shake, and realizing the benefits more quickly.

How do amino acids help me stay focused? Amino acids promote focus by blocking tryptophan from producing excessive amounts of serotonin in the brain, which makes you feel tired and sleepy. By limiting the amount of serotonin in the brain, the effects of mental fatigue are reduced, thus helping you think more clearly and remain focused. If that isn't enough to convince you, then take it from the hundreds of professional athletes who rely on Amino Vital® products every week to help them stay focused and consistently performing their best.

Are Amino Vital® products approved sports supplements? Yes, every production batch from each Amino Vital® product is analyzed and certified by the BSCG (Banned Substance Control Group). The BSCG is an independent organization, which assists responsible dietary supplement manufacturers who wish to ensure that their products do not contain dangerous banned substances.

Amino Vital® ships a sample of each batch to a state-of-the-art anti-doping research laboratory that has been designated by the BSCG. The laboratory analyzes the sample for over 160 substances that are banned by sports organizations such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Football League (NFL), and many other professional and amateur sports leagues. A product that bears the BSCG seal lets the customer know that the product has received BSCG Certification and that no banned substances were found above detection limits. For more information on the BSCG, visit www.bscg.org

Amino Vital® has also been approved for use by the USOC and the PGA.

Are Amino Vital® products safe? Amino Vital® products contain AJIPURE, the highest-quality pharmaceutical grade amino acids (between 99%-100% pure) available anywhere. Our parent company Ajinomoto was one of the first to make pharmaceutical-grade amino acids, literally inventing the process and is currently the global leader in the research, production and sales of amino acids. AJIPURE amino acids are widely used in intravenous solutions, infant formulas, prescription medications and other specialty medical products.
