I-LEUCINE = INSTANTIZED LEUCINE = VERY FAST ABSORPTION
Muscle Maintenance
L-leucine, like other essential amino acids, helps maintain muscle mass. For this reason, many bodybuilders and athletes take leucine supplements.
Leucine is one of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids and sometimes referred to as the ‘main’ amino acid due to the most popular benefit of BCAAs (muscle building) being mostly due to leucine.
Leucine is a tad different from the other two BCAAs Isoleucine and Valine as leucine seems to have a fair bit of testing on the amino acid in isolation rather than in a BCAA mixture, whereas the other two BCAAs are not as well studied.
The studies assessing leucine mostly look at muscle protein synthesis when additional leucine is added to the diet or to a test meal, and it appears that leucine is able to reliably increase muscle protein synthesis after test meals. Whether this results in more lean mass over a period of time is somewhat less reliable though, and leucine appears to be more effective at promoting gains in muscle in people with lower dietary protein intake and in the elderly (who tend to have impaired muscle protein synthesis in response to the diet).
The interactions of leucine on glucose are not clear. Leucine possesses both blood sugar reducing properties (can release insulin from the pancreas, can directly stimulate glucose uptake into a cell without insulin) but also the opposite (via stimulating S6K, it can inhibit insulin-stimulated glucose uptake). In a cell culture, leucine stimulates glucose uptake for up to 45 minutes and then hinders itself while in living systems acute doses of leucine do not appear to do anything remarkable (some limited evidence that leucine can be rehabilitative in diabetes, but this is preliminary). Isoleucine is a more potent hypoglycemic agent, but to less inhibition of its own actions.
INOSITOL BENEFITS
Inositol is a vitamin-like substance that is produced naturally in the body. Although supplementation is popular, before increasing the amount of inositol in your diet, it is best to understand what it can do.
Some health conditions cause the body to produce less of this compound, so supplementation is occasionally required. That being said, you can also eat certain foods to increase your levels, such as brown rice, citrus fruits, nuts, wheat germ, green leafy vegetables, cereals, soy flour, and whole grain bread. Lecithin granules and other sources of lecithin are also great sources of this vitamin-like substance. Inositol is found in high concentrations in the brain where it works closely with various neurotransmitters and therefore, is most commonly associated with neural functions. While this is the main aspect of health linked to this chemical, there are many other impressive health benefits you can enjoy by ensuring you have enough of it in your diet.
The most impressive health benefits of inositol include the following:
- Treating anxiety disorders
- Maintaining hormone levels
- Improving fertility
- Treating Alzheimer’s
- Weight loss
- Boosting circulation
- Treating diabetes
BIOPERINE®:
Makes all other ingredient work better!! This what “natural bioavailability enhancer” means.
It is clinically proven to increase the speed of absortpion and the total absotption of any ingredient is supplements and of all the nutrients.
WHAT IS IT AND WHY IS IT IN SPORTS NUTRITION PRODUCTS?
species. BioPerine® from Sabinsa (East Windsor, NJ) is a patented standardized extract from black pepper, containing not less than 95 percent piperine. Pharmacological studies have shown that piperine reduces inflammation and pain, possesses anticonvulsant and antiulcer activity, protects the liver, has deleterious and antioxidant activity. Results from previous studies demonstrated that piperine showed anxiolytic and antidepressant like activity. Piperine also inhibited monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity, and increased the levels of noradrenaline and serotonin in some regions of the mouse brain. All of these characteristics make it perfect for the dieting male or female, but more importantly, it is a clinically proven bio availability enhancer for nutrients. It shows increased blood supply to the GI tract, increased emulsifying content of the gut and increased active nutrient transport. According to the Merck Manuals, bioavailability is the extent and rate within which an active drug enters systemic circulation after passing through the first-pass metabolism sites, namely, the intestinal wall and liver. Bioperine has been shown to boost the bioavailability of nutrients, namely beta-carotene, vitamin B, B6, vitamin C, selenium, and co-enzyme Q10, and other ingredients found in various supplements — including male enhancement supplements. According to research conducted by the manufacturer, bioperine substantially increases the absorption of selenium (30%), beta carotene (60%), vitamin B6 (140-250%) as well as coenzyme Q10. So if your fat burner does not contain bioperine, it should as its clinically been found to enhance the active transport of nutrients and based on a study, it enhances the effect of caffeine.
FREE ACID HMB = HMB THAT REALLY WORKS!
HMB is proven to reduce significantly the damage of your muscle tissue that training causes.
When compared to leucine, HMB appears to be significantly more potent on a gram per gram basis at attenuating the rate of muscle protein breakdown but is less effective than leucine at inducing muscle protein synthesis. Due to this, HMB is marketed as an anti-catabolic agent (purposed to reduce the rate of muscle breakdown) rather than an anabolic agent (purposed to increase muscle mass).
Human trials don’t normally tend to be structured to properly assess the effects of HMB, as most of the studies are a standard diet paired with an exercise regimen investigating the role of HMB in promoting muscle protein synthesis (of which it is similar to leucine in the sense that there are positive results, but quite unreliably so); the limited evidence that assesses HMB during periods of muscle loss are either underpowered or not in athletes. HMB, currently, appears to be a pretty interesting supplement for the purpose of reducing muscle wasting during periods where muscle atrophy is accelerated (cachexia, AIDS, bedrest) and should theoretically work in athletes on a calorie restricted diet but is not fully established for this role yet (which is a notable issue, since Glutamine has a large dichotomy between clinical and healthy populations).
ORNITHINE AKG – PURE ENERGY
L-ornithine is crucial for removal of bodily wastes while it helps boost your energy level and provide your body with many other significant benefits.
It helps your body produce huge amounts of energy during training while it delays the time you feel tired (exhaustion time)
The Urea Cycle – Energy production and dispose of ammonia
When your cells break down nitrogen-containing compounds such as proteins, they produce ammonia as a byproduct. This can be toxic if not removed. In the urea cycle, liver cells convert ammonia into urea, a waste product eliminated by your kidneys — ornithine is central to this process and gives the cycle its alternate name, the ornithine cycle. When a problem develops and ornithine can’t participate effectively in the urea cycle, potentially serious conditions can result, including one called ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. Allowing ammonia to accumulate in the blood, and this can cause lack of energy, seizures or other symptoms. Your kidneys convert ornithine into arginine, another amino acid that benefits your body in several ways. Arginine is a precursor for a compound called nitric oxide, which helps dilate your blood vessels when you require extra blood to your tissues. Arginine also helps your muscle cells produce creatine, a compound they need to contract. Research suggests that consuming extra ornithine can help promote physical strength and endurance. For example, a study published in the November 2008 issue of “Nutrition Research” found that healthy subjects who took extra ornithine experienced less exercise-induced fatigue than a placebo group. The authors concluded that ornithine promotes more efficient energy usage by cells, and they recommend it as an nutritional supplement to prevent fatigue. Other Effects Supplementing with ornithine helps you:Anti-Fatigue Benefits – Save your muscle tissue
D ASPARTIC ACID
Helps your body produce more testosterone. This helps you keep training harder and longer
First of all testosterone directly effects your protein synthesis levels therefore it is key as an athlete to ensure your natural testosterone levels are high. This way you can be sure that your ability to repair damaged muscle fibres as well as add lean muscle mass to your frame is optimized because your body is able assimilate a higher percentage of your dietary proteins. Furthermore, healthy testosterone levels support fat loss because your body is able to assimilate fat more effectively as an energy source. Finally, high natural testosterone levels are very important for any serious male athlete because testosterone allows for higher levels of strength and energy, meaning that you can add more muscle as well as burn more body fat. Essentially testosterone is an absolutely critical hormone for any male athlete therefore it is in your best interests to utilize quality natural supplements such as DAA to ensure you’re in the best possible shape.
SODIUM PHOSPHATE TRIBASIC – THE ENDURANCE SALT
Sodium Phosphate improves exercise performance
Sodium phosphate loading, has been shown to influence the maximal and run performance in seven male competitive runners. Phosphate loading also significantly increased maximal oxygen uptake (6–12%), which was also noted in another study conducted on 10 well-trained distance runners.
Studies are also reporting improved endurance performance in competitive cyclists.
SODIUM BICARBONATED – MORE OXYGEN INTO YOUR CELLS
- Sodium bicarbonate has the chemical formula NaHCO3. It’s a mildly alkaline salt made up of sodium and bicarbonate ions.
- Sodium bicarbonate clears acid out of muscle cells, helping restore an optimal pH. This may decrease fatigue and increase performance.
- Sodium bicarbonate may help improve performance in the later stages of high-intensity exercise.
- Sodium bicarbonate likely improves the body’s ability to perform during interval training, which may benefit performance in many sports.
- Sodium bicarbonate may improve muscle coordination and increase strength. It could also increase the number of heavy-weight repetitions you can do at the gym
To understand how sodium bicarbonate works, it is helpful to first understand the concept of pH.
In chemistry, pH is a scale used to grade how acidic or alkaline (basic) a solution is. A pH of 7.0 is considered neutral. Anything lower than 7.0 is acidic and anything above that is alkaline. As humans, our pH is naturally close to neutral. It normally stays around 7.4 in blood and 7.0 in muscle cells. You function best when your acid-alkaline balance remains close to this target, which is why your body has various ways to maintain these levels. However, certain diseases or external factors can disrupt this balance. One of these factors is high-intensity exercise, also known as anaerobic exercise. During anaerobic exercise, your body’s demand for oxygen exceeds the available supply. As a result, your muscles cannot rely on oxygen to produce energy. Instead, they must switch to a different pathway — the anaerobic pathway. Creating energy through the anaerobic pathway produces lactic acid. Too much lactic acid decreases your muscle cells’ pH below the optimal 7.0. This disrupted balance limits energy production and may also reduce your muscles’ ability to contract. Both of these effects ultimately lead to fatigue, which reduces exercise performance. How Sodium Bicarbonate Helps Maintain pH Sodium bicarbonate has an alkaline pH of 8.4 and can therefore raise your blood pH slightly. Higher blood pH allows acid to move from muscle cells into the bloodstream, returning their pH to 7.0. This enables the muscles to continue contracting and producing energy. Scientists believe this is the primary way that sodium bicarbonate can help you exercise harder, faster or for longer. Sodium bicarbonate is especially helpful for high-intensity exercise that lasts between 1 and 7 minutes and involves large muscle groups. Additionally, most improvements seem to take place near the end of a workout. For example, a recent study observed a 1.5-second performance improvement in the last 1,000 meters of a 2,000-meter (1.24-mile) rowing event. The results are similar for cycling, sprinting, swimming and team sports. However, the benefits can vary from person to person. They may also depend on the type of activity, gender, personal tolerance and training level. Interval training is when a person alternates between intense and less-intense exercise during a single session. Some examples of this type of training include forms of running, cycling, rowing, swimming, Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit. Studies that looked at this type of exercise found that sodium bicarbonate helped prevent decreases in performance. This generally led to overall improvements of 1.7–8%. Interval training is very common in many sports, and studies find that sodium bicarbonate intake can benefit judo, swimming, boxing and tennis. Finally, the ability of sodium bicarbonate to help you push through the final stages of your workout may also improve your workout results. For example, participants who took sodium bicarbonate during an 8-week interval-training program had cycled for 133% longer by the end of the study period. Sodium bicarbonate may also help increase strength. In one study, experienced weightlifters who took sodium bicarbonate 60 minutes before a workout were able to do 6 more squats in their first of three sets. This suggests that sodium bicarbonate can enhance performance, especially at the beginning of a session. In addition, sodium bicarbonate may also benefit muscle coordination. For example, one study found that it helped maintain tennis players’ swing accuracy. Another study found similar benefits for boxers’ punch accuracy. These outcomes suggest that sodium bicarbonate could have effects on the brain.
