Proteins & amino acids
Before proteins can be absorbed, they are broken down by digestive enzymes into dipeptides, tripeptides and amino acids. The amino acids that enter the bloodstream are then transported into cells. There, they are used as building blocks for new body proteins.
The amino acid leucine, in particular, plays an important role in stimulating this process and acts as a signal for the formation of new body proteins.
Essential amino acids (EAAs)
Nine amino acids are considered essential, meaning the body cannot produce them on its own and must obtain them from protein-rich foods. For optimal formation of body proteins, all essential amino acids must be available. If one essential amino acid is missing, this process can be limited, even if the other amino acids are present.
In a varied diet, this is usually not a problem, as different protein sources together provide all essential amino acids. However, if the intake of essential amino acids is insufficient over a longer period of time, this may limit the body’s ability to build new proteins.
That is why Ultimate EAA Formula contains all nine essential amino acids in free form, providing 5 g per serving. It is not a proprietary blend, but a transparent formula.

For whom is the Ultimate EAA Formula?
NoordCode Ultimate EAA Formula is developed for everyday use for those managing protein intake as part of daily nutrition:
- To complement dietary protein intake
For example, on days when meals are lighter or when total protein intake varies.
- Before or during training on an empty stomach
Protein contributes to:
- the growth of muscle mass
- the maintenance of muscle mass
- the maintenance of normal bones
