Gary Brecka says most people are amino-acid deficient, which blocks collagen and muscle synthesis. His morning stack: Perfect Amino Acids, H2Tab for molecular hydrogen, and Baja Gold Mineral Salt. He claims it doesn't break a fast and costs little.

I don't care how hard you train, if you're not recovering, you're actually destroying your training goals. So I always use minerals, Perfect Amino Acids, and hydrogen because hydrogen is a selective antioxidant. Amino acids— many of us are not even protein deficient, we're actually amino acid deficient. Amino acids are not proteins, they are the building blocks of proteins. We build all kinds of structures from amino acids: collagen, elastin, fiber, and we build muscle. We actually build natural killer cells, our immune cells. from amino acids. This is my favorite morning stack because it doesn't even break a fast. So I take a scoop of Perfect Aminos, I take a scoop of, um, H2Tab— I mean, I take a tablet of H2Tab, and I take 2 squirts of Baja Gold Mineral Salt, just getting those minerals right from seawater. This is not expensive. I do this every single morning without failure. We'll mix this up, and I whack it back before I train, and that puts you on the road to recovery.
