Benefits of each active ingredient:
- Creatine is an organic compound made up of three amino acids: arginine, glycine and methionine. Creatine increases the body’s ability to create energy rapidly, meaning you can train harder and more often- which means faster results! Research shows that Creatine is most effective in high-intensity training and explosive activities, such as weight training, and sports that require short bursts of effort (rugby, football, tennis etc). Creatine is an osmotically active substance, which basically means it draws water into your muscle cells, which increases protein synthesis (faster muscle gain). Because of this, Creatine will increase weight gain rapidly. Creatine is very effective for people looking to increase weight quickly. Weight gain is usually around 2-4 lbs for the first week of training with Creatine. After that, the weight gain is usually an increase in muscle mass as your body can handle a larger workload. Please note that as this product already contains creatine, you need to reduce other sources of creatine to match goals.
- Arginine is an amino acid, which is converted in the body into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator which means that it dilates blood vessels. This can help with many issues, such as erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease. Studies have also shown it can help with fertility in males. As well as L-Arginine increasing the amount of nitric oxide in the body, it can also help with healing of wounds due to the increased blood flow. L-Arginine can also help the immune system. L-Arginine can also increase insulin sensitivity, thus helping to control blood sugar levels.
- Citrulline Malate is an amino acid which is a precursor to L-Arginine. L-Arginine can become less effective over time, so by taking a supplement of Citrulline Malate, you can enhance and prevent the body from getting used to L-Arginine. Citrulline is used for erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease. Citrulline supplementation can help energy levels, and athletes use it to increase performance
- Beta-alanine research shows that taking beta-alanine modestly improves some measures of physical performance, especially during high-intensity exercise and strength training. Beta-alanine supplements might also improve physical performance and delay muscle fatigue in older adults. Other research shows that products containing beta-alanine, creatine monohydrate, arginine, and leucine might increase fat-free mass and strength in men participating in resistance training.
- Taurine is an amino acid which can promote cardiovascular health, increase insulin sensitivity, balance electrolytes, and can help to stimulate the immune system. Taurine supplementation can strengthen heart muscle cells, protects them from damage, while reducing many of the factors that produce atherosclerosis and its deadly consequences. Atherosclerosis is hardening of the arteries. People with higher levels of taurine have significantly lower rates of dying from coronary heart disease, and have lower blood pressure, lower bad lipid levels, and generally people who consume higher levels of taurine also have lower BMIs.
- L-Leucine cannot be made by the body, and must be acquired through food or dietary supplements. L-Leucine has many beneficial effects on sports performance. It helps preserve lean muscle tissue, it supplies the body with energy when under stress (i.e. when engaging in athletic activity), it preserves muscle glycogen (glucose stored in muscle tissue used to power muscular contraction), it maintains nitrogen balance, and it enhances thinking abilities that can decline as physical activity becomes more intense. It also works to heal bone, skin and muscle tissue.
- L-Tyrosine is involved in many vital functions that and is considered is an all-purpose amino acid. The body tries to manage and balance the level of tyrosine, depending on the life circumstances of the individual. High levels of stress daily may result in the depletion of tyrosine from the body. Tyrosine can reduce depression, mood disorders, Parkinson’s disease and in some cases Alzheimer’s disease. Tyrosine can also be effective in making muscle stronger and so can help increase size, strength and endurance of muscles.
- Caffeine seems to increase physical strength and endurance and delay exhaustion. It can also reduce feelings of exertion and improve performance during activities such as cycling, running, playing soccer, and golfing.
- Vitamin C helps to prevent scurvy. It is a potent antioxidant, meaning it can help prevent ageing, and could also help prevent against certain cancers. It can help increase the immune system and can also help with energy levels. Vitamin C can also increase gum health, preventing gingivitis and tooth loss. Vitamin C is also used in the body’s production of collagen, which can help decrease wrinkling and cellulite.
