JAKARTA - PT Ajinomoto Indonesia entered the health drink market by launching AminoVITAL, the Number 1 Sports Drink in Japan. This is because the public is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of maintaining health and endurance since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Head of Processed Foods Dept. PT Ajinomoto Sales Indonesia Revi Havier said, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of maintaining health and endurance is one way to do it is by exercising. Therefore, armed with decades of research on food, nutrition, and amino acids. Ajinomoto presents aminoVITAL, the Number 1 Sports Drink in Japan, which is now available in Indonesia.

"The drink was originally developed to improve the performance of Japanese athletes," explained Revi in a press statement, quoted Monday, March 29.

According to Revi, the apple-flavored amino acid jelly drink is the No. 1 Sports Drink in Japan, made with 3,000 mg of amino acids and 1,640 mg of BCAAs (Leucine, Soleucine, Valine) and has been certified halal for athletes and sports enthusiasts.

In addition to water and fat, the human body also consists of protein. Protein is made up of 20 types of Amino Acids, which consist of essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids. There are nine essential amino acids in the body. All of these essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body naturally.

That means, continued Revi, the body can only get these essential amino acids from the intake of food sources. Whereas body parts such as eyes, ears, hair, blood, hormones, and even the body's immune system consist of this protein essence, namely Amino Acids.

Revi said, Ajinomoto Co. Inc., which has studied Amino Acids for more than a hundred years, made it the basis for answering these needs through product development. Unlike protein, amino acids are the smallest components of protein and can be directly absorbed in the body within 30 minutes.

"Based on the information obtained, protein takes up to 3 to 4 hours to be digested and absorbed in the body," he concluded.
