They’re designed for people who struggle to find the energy and motivation to workout. Pre-workout supplements became popular around 15 years ago and have steadily been increasing in popularity ever since. Despite them being on the market for a long time, and despite numerous pre-workout supplements gaining critical acclaim from athletes and users alike, their basic ingredients remain largely unchanged, which is a perfect testament to the old saying that “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. These supplements contain stimulants such as caffeine and taurine, to help provide temporary boosts in energy, stamina, and mental focus. As well as that, many pre-workout supplements also contain creatine, Nitric Oxide, and various amino acids. They’re most commonly found in powdered form, in fruity and sweet flavours such as fruit punch, raspberry, mixed berry, green apple, watermelon etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the benefits of pre-workout supplements?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a number of benefits associated with pre-workout supplements, some of the more prominent examples include the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"They-increase-workout-productivity\"\u003eThey increase workout productivity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn days when you’re tired, struggling for energy, and just simply can’t find the motivation to workout, a pre-workout supplement could be exactly what you need. These supplements help to increase mental focus and physical energy thanks to the stimulants they contain. By the time the supplement kicks in you’ll be raring to go and will have more energy than you knew possible. The Nitric Oxide that many of them contain also helps with oxygen and energy transportation as it helps dilate blood vessels and boost blood flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Theyre-also-great-for-athletes\"\u003eThey're also great for athletes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAthletes can also benefit from using pre-workout supplements in much the same way as gym-goers can. The stimulants will boost energy and mental focus, the NO helps improve blood flow, oxygen transportation and nutrient delivery, and finally as many of them contain creatine, the creatine also helps fuel the muscles by flooding them with their favoured source of energy, Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP). The more energy they have, the more efficient they become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Theyre-great-for-fat-loss\"\u003eThey're great for fat loss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother great benefit of these supplements is that they’ve been found to be extremely beneficial for people looking to burn fat. They’re extremely thermogenic which means the various stimulants and ingredients will help to drastically boost the metabolism, resulting in an increased amount of calories being burnt off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-to-consume\"\u003eHow should pre-workout supplements be consumed?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-workout supplements get their name because they’re only required on training days, specifically just before working out. For optimal results, most pre-workout supplements require users to mix 1 – 3 scoops of the pre-workout powder with water. It should be mixed with a fork or spoon, and not in a shaker cup as the cup could explode and spray the supplement everywhere. The supplement should be taken on an empty stomach which means waiting at least one hour after eating before consuming it. For best results, drink the supplement around 40 minutes before training, so that once you do get started, the supplement will be in full effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Dangers-and-side-effects\"\u003eAre there any dangers or side effects to be way of?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore using the product properly, try mixing just 1 scoop with a glass of water before training and assess your tolerance. If you don’t feel the benefits, increase gradually, making sure not to exceed 3 scoops. Never exceed the stated dosage and never combine with other energy drinks or products naturally high in caffeine. Never consume it too late at night because as it contains caffeine, the stimulants could cause insomnia. Never exceed the stated dosage as too much could lead to headaches, caffeine crash, stomach upset, or something more serious such as a heart attack. If you have any heart conditions or underlying medical conditions this product will not be suitable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"aakg","title":"AAKG (Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate)","description":"\u003cp\u003eArginine Alpha Ketoglutarate is an advanced form of arginine and is approximately 2 times the potency.

L-arginine is basically arginine in its natural form that is then used to create a number of dietary supplements, including AAKG. AAKG is rich in a compound known as alpha ketoglutarate, which is actually a natural derivative of glutaric acid, and is a type of salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-it-works\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAAKG contains different constituents, which each have different roles and functions within the human body. The alpha ketoglutarate for example, actually helps to break down certain amino acids and sugar molecules within the body. It functions as an intermediary within the citric acid cycle, which is also known as the krebs cycle. The krebs cycle is basically a selection of different internal processes which take stored glucose sugars, and break them down before converting them into Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, or ATP for short. ATP is a primary source of energy used by the muscles, so naturally the more ATP there is, the more energy the muscles will have. Not only that, but it also helps enhance cell volume via the increase in energy, which leads to more impressive muscle pumps. Plus, it has also been found to enhance nitric oxide levels, which increase vascularity, and it plays a vital role in protein synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the benefits of AAKG?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"videowrapper\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ja3Jy1waMec?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"236\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the main benefits associated with AAKG include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-muscle-mass\"\u003eIncreased muscle mass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned, AAKG has been found to play a key role in protein synthesis, which is basically a process in which damaged muscles take proteins and amino acids, and use them to grow and repair themselves, most commonly after a workout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Improved-blood-circulation\"\u003eImproved blood circulation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAAKG helps to naturally increase Nitric Oxide levels within the body, which in turn leads to an improvement in circulation.

then you may wish to consider beta-alanine supplements. Commonly used by athletes and bodybuilders to help enhance their overall athletic performance, beta-alanine is proving to be an extremely popular supplement. Here’s everything you need to know about beta-alanine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"What-is-it\"\u003eWhat is Beta-Alanine?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid, which basically means that the body can naturally synthesize it internally, so for that reason, it does not have to come from dietary sources. However, don’t let this fool you, because although it is non-essential, experts have found that beta-alanine supplementation can provide a whole host of various health and fitness benefits. It is actually a building block for another amino acid known as carnosine, which is a dipeptide that assists with the removal and buffering of harmful byproducts in human cells, including lactic acid. Experts have found that highest concentrations of carnosine, which is created as a result of beta-alanine, will be found in both, fast, and slow-twitch muscle fibres. This is especially important because fast and slow-twitch muscle fibres can both enhance athletic performance in different ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-it-works\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned, one of the main reasons why bodybuilders and athletes tend to use beta-alanine, is due to the fact that it has been proven to help improve athletic performance. Studies have revealed that beta-alanine can not only help improve muscular strength, but it can also help improve muscular endurance as well, down to the fact that it increases the amount of naturally occurring carnosine in your skeletal muscles. When you exercise, beta-alanine functions as a buffer, protecting your muscles against fatigue and the effects of harmful by-products of exercise, including lactic acid, which can cause painful muscle cramps and fatigue. Unlike various other amino acids however, beta-alanine does not play a direct role in protein synthesis, but even so, it still assists the muscles as it allows them to function more efficiently and for longer, before they do begin to break down and fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the benefits of Beta-Alanine?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the most prominent benefits of using a beta-alanine supplement include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Enhanced-exercise-capacity\"\u003eEnhanced exercise capacity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very prominent benefit associated with beta-alanine, is the fact that it has been found to increase a person’s exercise capacity. In basic terms, this means that the supplement can help enable you to train harder, and for longer, thus making your workouts more effective. This is ideal because not only can it increase muscular strength, it can also increase your endurance as well, giving you the best of both worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Improved-weight-loss\"\u003eImproved weight loss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough beta-alanine doesn’t primarily target your body fat stores, it can still help you to burn body fat and lose weight, due to the fact that it increases your endurance, energy levels, and stamina. The more energy you have, the more exercise you can do, and the more exercise you can perform, the more calories you will burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-muscle-mass\"\u003eIncreased muscle mass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother benefit of beta-alanine supplementation is the fact that it can also help you to build muscle mass in the gym. This again, is down to the fact that it allows the muscles to work harder and for longer before they fatigue, so again, the more resistance exercises they can perform, the more muscle will be built as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Reduced-fatigue\"\u003eReduced fatigue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s nothing worse than wanting to be able to exercise for longer, only to find that your body and your muscles just cannot cope, and therefore let you down.

Whilst L-Carnosine supplements are indeed beneficial, to get the best results in terms of athletic performance, beta-alanine is considered to be the superior product. This is largely because L-Carnosine supplements are poorly absorbed compared to beta-alanine, so you basically don’t receive all of the benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Stack\"\u003eWhat can you stack it with?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs beta-alanine is considered to be a supplement based upon athletic performance, you can stack it with a wide range of different supplements, all based upon your goals and targets.

Some of us want to build muscle, whilst others may want to burn fat. Some of us however, may be looking to simply boost our health and well-being, which is where certain supplements can really show their true worth. Betaine Anhydrous for example, is a prime illustration of how a supplement can not only help you look better, but can also help you to be fitter and healthier. If you’ve never heard of betaine anhydrous then you’ll want to read the following, very carefully indeed as we delve deeper into the world of Betaine Anhydrous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"What-is-it\"\u003eWhat is Betaine Anhydrous?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetaine anhydrous is actually a type of vitamin which is derived from choline – another important nutrient. It is found commonly in a number of whole foods, including: seafood, grains, cereals, spinach, and sugar beets. It also actually occurs naturally within the human body and it provides a whole host of health and fitness-related benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-it-works\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimarily betaine anhydrous is used by the body to help naturally reduce and regulate homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is actually a potentially toxic ingredient which is produced via the ingestion of meat. Experts have linked homocysteine with a number of harmful medical conditions, including osteoporosis, ocular deformities, skeletal abnormalities, and cardiovascular thrombosis. Betaine anhydrous however, has been found to lower a person’s natural homocysteine levels. The benefits don’t stop there however, as betaine anhydrous has also been found to help play a crucial role in cell function and intestinal function. It is also known as being ‘lipotropic’ which means that it can assist the body with the breakdown of stored body fat, where it is then converted into energy, making it a very potent weight loss supplement in the process. Its precursor is choline, which means that choline must be present for it to work its magic. On top of that, folic acid, and vitamins B12 and B6, are also required for the betaine to function at its full capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the benefits of Betaine Anhydrous?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the primary benefits of betaine anhydrous include the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Health-and-well-being\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eHelps support liver function\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, one of the biggest benefits associated with betaine anhydrous, is the fact that it can help promote health and well-being in individuals of all ages, genders, shapes, and sizes.

In nature for example, caffeine is found naturally in tea and coffee plants, and it actually serves as a self-defence mechanism in these plants, due to the fact that it acts as a pesticide. It acts as a pesticide to help prevent bugs and insects eating the leaves of the plants. In human beings however, caffeine is quite safe, providing it is used sensibility, and it functions very differently. Rather than acting as a pesticide in humans, caffeine actually acts as a natural stimulant, providing temporary increases in energy and mental focus. As mentioned, caffeine is found in natural sources, including coffee beans and tea leaves, which is why these caffeinated beverages help wake us up once the caffeine enters our system. However, it is also added to many energy drinks and fat burning supplements, as well as being available in pure form, to be used naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-does-it-work\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasically, caffeine works as a stimulant due to the fact that it has been found to alter the chemistry of the human brain, blocking various actions of regular brain chemicals that help us feel tired, sleepy, and lethargic. Adenosine for example, is a chemical responsible for lethargy that binds onto specialist adenosine receptors within the brain. Once binded, nerve cell activity is reduced, but once caffeine is consumed, to specialist nerve cells, the caffeine looks almost identical to adenosine, and so it too will bind to these cells. However, caffeine behaves very differently to adenosine, as rather than promoting lethargy and drowsiness, caffeine instead provides stimulating effects, making us feel more energized and alert. Caffeine also blocks the adenosine, so more neurons are able to fire in the brain, and again, more energy and focus will be achieved. Things don’t stop there. As adrenaline is also produced, the pituitary gland senses that something is different, sending a message to the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline, also known as epinephrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the main benefits of caffeine supplements? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough we know the main benefits associated with caffeine, let’s take a look at some of the other benefits we may not have previously considered.

Despite the fact that it can be produced naturally by the body, studies have found that increasing your citrulline malate consumption on a regular basis, can provide a number of benefits for the human body, which we’ll be covering shortly. Believe it or not, but Citrulline malate is actually primarily found in melons and apples, as well as various other foods. In melons for example, citrulline is present, whereas the malate is a natural derivative of apples. If you’re wondering if it would be cheaper to just buy a whole mass of apples and melons instead, the answer is no because to get sufficient enough quantities in order to boost athletic performance and fitness, you simply would not be able to eat enough fruit in one sitting, which is why the supplements are so important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-it-works\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasically, cirtulline can be naturally obtained via food, or, the human body can actually produce it via ornithine, which is another amino acid that is obtained via dietary sources. The citrulline is created via the urea cycle, which is a natural process that rids the body of ammonia, lactic acid, and other harmful compounds. Citrulline malate has also been found to naturally increase arginine levels, which in turn helps to create more Nitric Oxide. NO, works to help increase circulation and blood flow, which is one of the main reasons why citrulline malate is considered so beneficial for people looking to increase and improve their athletic performances. The reduction in ammonia and lactic acid, which can cause muscle fatigue and muscle cramps, is also very beneficial, as that can help the muscles work harder and for longer, before they fatigue. It has even been found to help increase ATP, or Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, which is a primary energy source used by the muscles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the benefits of taking Citrulline Malate supplements?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of athletic performance, there are a number of benefits associated with citrulline malate, so let’s take a look at some of the more prominent examples, shall we?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Improved-athletic-performance\"\u003eImproved athletic performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, one of the biggest benefits associated with this supplement is the fact that it increases athletic performance by such a great deal. To begin with, it helps increase NO levels, which in turn help to increase circulation, allowing oxygen and energy-rich blood to be carried around the body in larger quantities. It also increases ATP as it functions as an intermediate in the krebs cycle, making it a fantastic supplement in terms of athletic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Reduced-muscle-cramps-and-fatigue\"\u003eReduced muscle cramps and fatigue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou could argue that this could be associated with being able to increase athletic performance, and whilst that is true, it still deserves its own little sub-section for different reasons. As it helps to reduce ammonia and lactic acid production, the muscles can work harder and faster, and for longer, before they fatigue. Muscle cramps and fatigue can lead to reduced athletic performance and can increase your chance of injury, which is why citrulline malate is considered so beneficial for anybody looking to avoid injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"More-vascularity\"\u003eMore vascularity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bodybuilders and people generally looking to get in shape, citrulline malate is ideal as the Nitric Oxide works as a vasodilator, dilating the blood vessels and allowing more blood to flow through them.

This is beneficial because oxygen, nutrients, and other compounds used as energy, are transported to cells around the body, via the blood stream. The more blood that is carried around the body, the more oxygen, energy, and nutrients will be delivered to the cells. This in turn will assist with muscle contractions, it will allow the muscles to work harder before they fatigue, and it will also help to eliminate lactic acid and other harmful by-products of exercise and athletic performance, that can lead to feelings of fatigue and lethargy. On top of that, there is evidence that suggests that GPLC can also reduce body fat levels in the process. Studies have found that GPLC could prevent fats from being transported into fat cells, which means that obviously they cannot be stored as body fat, and so must be used as a primary source of energy instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the main benefits of GPLC supplements?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the primary benefits associated with GPLC supplementation include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Improved-athletic-performance\"\u003eImproved athletic performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned, due to the fact that GPLC has been found to greatly increase Nitric Oxide levels within the human body, more oxygen and nutrients can be transported to the awaiting muscle cells, and as a result, the muscles can function more efficiently before they begin to tire and fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Better-vascularity\"\u003eBetter vascularity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bodybuilders and anybody trying to look lean and ripped, increasing your vascularity is a great way of doing just that.

HBCD is produced via cutting edge processes, in which a specialist enzyme is added, allowing the molecules to form cluster-like structures from the starches. This in turn basically means that the dextrin is more soluble and is therefore easier to be absorbed by the body.

Basically, once leucine enters the body, a certain percentage of it is broken down and metabolized into HMB. Because leucine, and by default, HMB, is so essential for protein synthesis, and for the metabolism of new muscle tissues, HMB is considered an extremely beneficial supplement for strength athletes, bodybuilders, and individuals looking to increase their muscle mass and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-it-works\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned, once leucine is consumed, it is then converted into HMB, which provides a number of benefits, which we’ll cover in just a moment. HMB however, cuts out the middleman, so instead of having to first break down the leucine and convert it into HMB, the body instantly has access to HMB, so it can get started right away. When an individual takes part in resistance training, or when the muscles are placed under any form of stress, ordinarily they would become damaged, fatigued, and worn down. HMB however, helps to prevent the degradation of muscle tissue during periods of resistance training and exercise. Put simply, HMB helps to ensure that the muscles don’t become damaged or worn down when you exercise, which means that you can exercise harder, and more intensely, and that the muscles not only will be able to function more efficiently, but that they will also be protected against damage caused via the exercise. It is an anti-catabolic supplement that has been popular for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the main benefits of HMB?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you can see, some of the main benefits associated with HMB supplementation, are based around muscle growth and repair.

To begin with, HMB helps assist with protein synthesis, so new muscle tissues and proteins can still be synthesised, but on top of that, it also helps prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue, making the muscles bigger and stronger, so they can perform harder when you exercise. The harder you train, the more muscle you can potentially build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Prevents-muscle-breakdown\"\u003ePrevents muscle breakdown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main benefit of HMB however, is the fact that it has been found to help prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue during bouts of intense physical exercise, which in turn will help preserve the muscles and allow them to work harder before they eventually fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Boosts-general-health-and-well-being\"\u003eBoosts general health and well being\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough these benefits aren’t focussed on a great deal, many experts have revealed that HMB can boost a person’s general health and well-being in a number of ways.

Lecuine for example, is essential for protein synthesis and is therefore essential for the growth of new muscle tissue.

Just because it is non-essential however, this does not mean that arginine supplementation is not beneficial, because truthfully, it is, for a variety of different reasons. Studies have found that increased L-Arginine consumption, can provide a number of benefits for the human body, as well as for the physique, and athletic performance in general. Athletes and bodybuilders often supplement with L-Arginine, and include it in part of their muscle-building supplement stack. The benefits of L-Arginine come from the fact that it plays a vital role in protein synthesis, as well as helping to function as a precursor for the production of Nitroc Oxide, which in itself, helps provide numerous athletic performance advantages to the human body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-it-works\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasically, within the body, L-Arginine is converted into Nitric Oxide, which in turn then causes the blood vessels to widen and dilate, due to the fact that Nitric Oxide functions as a potent vasodilator. As the blood vessels widen and expand, this in turn allows more oxygenated blood, rich in nutrients, to pass through the vessels and be transported around the body and delivered to the major organs that happen to require it. On top of that however, it has also been linked with an increase in insulin production and growth hormone production, making it highly beneficial for bodybuilders and individuals looking to increase their lean muscle mass. On top of that, it has been found to play a crucial role in protein synthesis, making it essential for the growth and repair of muscle tissues, especially tissues following an extensive workout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the main benefits of L-Arginine?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve touched upon the main benefits associated with L-Arginine, now it’s time to look at them in more detail.

This Nitric Oxide dilates the blood vessels and allows more oxygenated rich blood to be carried around them. More oxygen and nutrients can therefore be supplied to the awaiting muscle cells in the body, which in turn will help to provide them with more energy, so they will be able to function harder and for longer, before they begin to fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-muscle-mass\"\u003eIncreased muscle mass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-Arginine also plays a key role in protein synthesis, which is when the body synthesises new muscle proteins to replace worn and damaged ones as a result of an extensive workout or bout of strenuous physical exercise. Protein synthesis plays a key role in post-workout growth and recovery, making L-Arginine a very beneficial amino acid in terms of post-workout recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-muscle-pumps-and-vascularity\"\u003eIncreased muscle pumps and vascularity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOk, whilst vascularity and muscle pumps don’t provide any long-term benefits, they are able to serve as very beneficial motivational tools in the gym, which could help to spur you on and keep your motivation levels through the roof.

In actual fact, over the years, as well as proving very beneficial for our mental health and well-being, L-Tyrosine has also been found to help increase a person’s muscle mass and post-workout recovery rates in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-does-it-work\"\u003eHow does L-Tyrosine work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-Tyrosine works in a number of different ways, and can therefore provide a number of different benefits to the human body, which we’ll be looking at in just a moment. To begin with, Tyrosine helps the body to manufacture vital neurotransmitters that help to regulate your mood, concentration, and focus levels. For example, one of these neurotransmitters is dopamine, which is a chemical that helps us to feel happy and relaxed. Other transmitters include epinephrine and norepinephrine, which help regulate stress responses. Another vital role associated with L-Tyrosine, is that it plays a vital role in protein synthesis, in which the body synthesizes new muscle proteins to replace old or damaged ones. In total, around 20 amino acids are required for protein synthesis to occur, and Tyrosine is one of those 20 and is one of the most important. Protein synthesis is not only essential for muscle growth and repair, it is also vital for the growth and regeneration of new cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the main benefits of L-Tyrosine?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many different benefits associated with L-Tyrosine supplements, so let’s now take a look at some of the most prominent examples.

Dopamine for example, is a neurotransmitter that helps us to feel happy, relaxed, focussed, and content, and so the happier we feel, the less likely we will be to suffer from mental health disorders such as stress or depression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-muscle-mass\"\u003eIncreased muscle mass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother key benefit of L-Tyrosine, is the fact that it has been proven to increase a person’s muscle mass, due to the fact that it plays a vital role in protein synthesis. When muscle tissues become damaged and destroyed when we exercise and workout, they need to be rebuilt and replaced by bigger and stronger tissues, which is what happens via protein synthesis. If protein synthesis does not take place however, the muscles cannot be replaced or rebuilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-post-workout\"\u003eIncreased post workout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only can protein synthesis help assist with muscle growth, it can also assist with muscle repair, and it can therefore allow you to recover from a workout much quicker than usual.

Despite this however, just because the body can produce it naturally, that does not mean that increased concentrations in the body won’t be beneficial, because they are. Not only is it produced by the body, it is also found naturally in sources including fish, meat, and dairy produce. Taurine plays a number of key roles in the healthy functioning of the human body, and what’s more, according to health experts, if the body fails to produce enough, or if not enough is obtained from dietary sources, taurine supplementation will be essential. The amino acid is rich in sulphur, and in reality, the word ‘taurine’ has Latin origins, as it is derived from the word ‘Taurus’ which means ‘Bull’. Forget those absurd rumours you’ve probably read on social media, about how taurine is ‘derived from Bull sperm’ because that is complete nonsense, as in reality, it comes from their bile.

It also helps to improve brain health and function and can help prevent conditions such as dementia. In terms of weight loss and athletic performance however, taurine functions as a vasodilator which widens the blood vessels and allows more oxygenated blood to be carried to the awaiting cells throughout the body. Because of this, it can function as a stimulant, without the extreme effects associated with other stimulants such as caffeine. In terms of bodybuilding however, taurine really comes into its own as it speeds up protein synthesis, all the while increasing insulin sensitivity in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the main benefits of Taurine supplements?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the main benefits of taurine include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-muscle-mass\"\u003eIncreased muscle mass\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned, many bodybuilders now include taurine as part of their supplement stacks, due to the fact that it enhances protein synthesis.

It contains a series of potent ingredients including rosin, salidroside, rosarin, and rosavin, which are all the primary components of Rhodiola Rosea’s powerful adaptogenic properties. These components help to provide psychological benefits for the human body, as it can help it to function as a stress-reducing supplement which can help to stabilize a person’s mental health and well-being. On top of that however, it can also function in many different ways, especially where physical endurance is required. Rhodiola Rosea has been found to help assist with weight loss, as well as with muscle growth. Rhodiola supplements have been proven to help enhance ATP, or Adenosine Tri-Phosphate levels, similarly to how creatine monohydrate does. ATP is a primary fuel source used by the muscles to function, so the more ATP they have, the more energy they have, and the more efficiently they will be able to work. During exercise, it also enhances glycogen stores within the muscles, which again, are used to power the muscles. The more energy the muscles have, the harder they will work, and the more effective your workouts will become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the benefits of using Rhodiola Rosea supplements?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the primary benefits associated with Rhodiola Rosea supplements include the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Fat-loss-and-muscle-growth\"\u003eFat loss and muscle growth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned, Rhodiola has been found to increase natural energy levels within the human body, particularly within the muscles.

supplement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplement industry is constantly changing and evolving every single day, with countless products being brewed up in labs all across the globe. Using health and fitness supplements provides the user with numerous benefits, due largely to the fact that there is so much to choose from. We have supplements for stamina, supplements for health, supplements for strength, supplements for muscle growth, supplements for athletic performance, and supplements for virtually anything else you can think of. When you hit the gym, you walk in there with a purpose. You don’t simply work out to just go through the motions, you are going in there to meet your health and fitness goals and objectives, whatever they may be. Sometimes however, we simply cannot seem to find the mental or physical energy to get off our backsides and to get moving, and our motivational levels may plummet to near zero. In these instances, an effective pre-workout supplement will prove worth its weight in gold. The problem however, is finding the right formula. The latest pre-workout to hit the streets is C-PRE, and it is already proving to be innovative and to be a real game changer. Here’s a look at what it is that makes C-PRE so effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"What-is-it\"\u003eWhat are pre-workout supplements and what is C-PRE?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-workout supplements are specially formulated products which have been specifically designed to help you to perform more efficiently in the gym, or during any other form of exercise. They are enriched with stimulants, amino acids, herbal ingredients, creatine, and other potent and powerful substances that have been designed to help provide physical, and mental, energy. Generally pre-workout supplements work especially well when you are physically tired, or when you can’t quite seem to get your head right mentally, and so you may lack motivation. They provide a temporary, yet potent, burst of energy that will help provide you with one of the most productive workouts you could ever wish for. C-PRE provides all of the above, and much more besides. C-PRE is a new pre-workout supplement on the block, enriched with scientifically proven ingredients of the highest quality, designed to provide energy, focus, power, endurance, and more, all in one handy and delicious product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Why\"\u003eWhy choose C-PRE?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many pre-workout formulas currently on the market, so why should you choose C-PRE? Well, there are a number of reasons as C-PRE provides countless benefits including the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Energy\"\u003eEnergy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, perhaps the most productive benefit associated with C-PRE, is the fact that it provides you with so much physical energy. C-PRE is enriched with stimulants, including caffeine, which provide temporary increases in energy levels that make you feel more awake and more alert than ever. What’s more, it also contains amino acids and creatine, which also helps to fuel your body to get it through the workout you’re performing. The creatine for example, results in an increased production rate of ATP, which the cells in the muscles use as their primary source of energy. The more ATP the cells can absorb, the more productive the muscles become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Focus\"\u003eFocus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical energy is not the only benefit provided by C-PRE, as it also provides you with a great deal of mental energy as well, as it helps you to focus and concentrate. Caffeine in particular, has been found to have a positive effect on the brain, helping to improve the rates in which you focus. This in turn helps you to increase your motivational levels, plus it proves useful in establishing a more productive mind-muscle connection during your workouts as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Power\"\u003ePower\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we exercise and lift weights our muscles become weaker as we work through our energy supplies. This can be problematic as if you are weaker than you should be, you may struggle to break through plateaus and to lift heavier weights than you may be accustomed to. C-PRE however, has been specially formulated to provide increased levels of explosive power and strength, meaning you can handle heavier weights and increased workloads. It achieves this in a number of different ways, though again, one of the main reasons is down to the increased rates of ATP. If the muscle cells have more energy, the muscles can work harder, and if they can work harder, they can generate more power and help keep fatigue at bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Scientifically-proven\"\u003eScientifically proven and specially formulated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs if all of the above wasn’t reason enough for you to add C-PRE to your supplement stack, how about the fact that the ingredients and the formula in general, has been scientifically proven and specially formulated to provide you with the best results going? There are many pre-workout supplements on the market, so finding a product that you trust is absolutely essential. Many companies make bogus claims regarding their formulas and ingredients, but C-PRE actually backs up its claims with science. The ingredients and the end formula all undergo stringent testing in labs overseen by true experts in their respective fields. The end result is a supplement which contains not only ingredients which have been proven to work, but in ratios and dosages that are designed to work in synergy with one another to provide the absolute best results you could wish for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Ingredients\"\u003eWhat are the main ingredients?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s easy to talk about how a product contains this and that, and to make outrageous claims without any proven evidence, but that does not mean that that is the right way to go about things. The guys behind C-PRE know this, which is why they have chosen scientifically proven ingredients, and have been perfectly clear about what their pre-workout formula contains, and why it is so effective. The main ingredients found in C-PRE include the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Caffeine\"\u003e1, 3, 7 Trimethylxanthine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'What on earth is that'? We hear you cry, well, don’t worry, it isn’t some bizarre new compound that we know very little about, it is actually another term used for caffeine. Caffeine is the primary ingredient found in virtually all pre-workout supplements (other than the stim-free varieties) and it is contained in them for a very good reason. Caffeine acts as a potent and powerful stimulant on the human body, helping to make you feel more awake, more alert, and more mentally focussed. Caffeine helps get you fired up and energized when your physical and mental energy levels are low, which is ideal for anybody about to hit the gym.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Beta-alanine\"\u003eBeta-alanine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta-alanine is a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid that can be synthesized in small doses in the human body, plus it is commonly found in many meat and seafood sources. Beta alanine is so useful in C-PRE because it helps to increase natural concentrations of a buffering agent known as carnosine, which keeps fatigue at bay. Beta-alanine enhances anaerobic endurance in the muscles, it can boost muscle mass, it boosts stamina, and it helps prevent lactic acid build ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Creatine-monohydrate\"\u003eCreatine monohydrate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine monohydrate is another naturally occurring compound that the human body produces in small amounts. Creatine helps to increase ATP concentrations in the body, which is then used to fuel the muscles before you train. When the ATP is absorbed by the cells in the muscles, they have more energy and so they can work harder for longer, which in turn means your training sessions are a great deal more productive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"AAKG\"\u003eAAKG\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate is an amino acid which is commonly found in nuts and meats, as well as various forms of dairy. This amino acid is beneficial as it helps to enhance hormone production, including anabolic ones such as HGH and testosterone, plus it enhances circulation. It is a precursor to Nitric Oxide, which is a vasodilator which dilates the blood vessels and allows more oxygenated blood to pass through them. This is useful because more oxygen means more energy, so again, you can work harder in the gym. You will also get a better pump and will see increased rates of vascularity, which will make you look better whilst training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Citrulline-Malate\"\u003eCitrulline Malate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis non-essential amino acid is also very important because it helps to improve your tolerance to strenuous exercise, allowing you to perform longer, and to exert more effort before you begin to tire and fatigue. The benefits in this instance are pretty self explanatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Piper-Nigrum\"\u003ePiper Nigrum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiper Nigrum, better known as Black Pepper Extract, is very useful because it has been found to provide such a substantial increase in a person’s metabolism. It boosts the metabolism substantially, which means that your energy levels increase as you burn through calories and stored body fat. This, along with the caffeine, means that your body fat levels drop drastically as you are literally fuelling your workout with your own body fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedicinal Ingredients (per 1 scoop):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCaffeine (1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine) .......................... 200 Milligrams\u003cbr\u003eBeta-Alanine (3-Aminopropanoic acid) .......................... 3000 mg\u003cbr\u003eCreatine monohydrate (N-(Aminoiminomethyl)-N-methylglycine monohydrate) .......................... 5000 mg\u003cbr\u003eL-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate  .......................... 4200 mg\u003cbr\u003eCitruline malate  .......................... 3000 mg\u003cbr\u003eBlack pepper (Piper nigrum, Fruit) .......................... 14 mg (95 Percent Piperine, 4 : 1, QCE 56 mg)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citric acid, Natural and Artificial Flavouring, Sucralose, Silicon Dioxide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural Versions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Flavouring, Stevia, Silicon Dioxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Recommended-Use\"\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorkout supplement.

In fact, it is sometimes known as choline alfoscerate. Basically, it is a combination of choline and a molecule known as \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGlycerylphosphorylcholine\u003c\/span\u003e. It is a phospholipid which is actually isolated from soy. Recently it has created waves in the world of health and fitness as there is very strong evidence to suggest that this supplement not only supports cognitive health and function – making it great for the brain, it also helps to promote increases in muscle strength and power outputs, and it can potentially help stimulate the production of growth hormone, which is essential for muscle growth and recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpha GPC works in a variety of ways. Because of its molecular structure, it contains a lipid tail which enables neuronal cell membranes to incorporate it and absorb it. Now bound to the membranes of said cells, this choline-containing molecule provides the cells with the required compounds needed to enable them to perform acetylcholine neurotransmitter synthesis. Basically, in simple terms, Alpha GPC helps to positively stimulate systems in your body which are responsible for cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, and reacting. This is why Alpha GPC is renowned for its Nootropical benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the benefits of Alpha GPC?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a number of key benefits associated with Alpha GPC, these include the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImproved cognitive health and function\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, we’ll begin by looking at what helped to get Alpha GPC where it is today. As we looked at above, Alpha GPC works by stimulating the cholinergic system in the body, which is responsible for cognitive health and function. It helps provide cells with the compounds needed for them to function as they should. Alpha GPC can not only improve short and long-term memory, it has also been found to potentially help protect against degenerative conditions affecting the brain such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s. This in itself, makes it a very promising supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncreased strength and power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo far, we’ve focussed on the cognitive health benefits of Alpha GPC, but now we’re going to look at the reason why bodybuilders and strength athletes are also supplement with this product. Studies have found that Alpha GPC can help individuals to generate more explosive strength and power.

We hear you cry, well, don’t worry, it isn’t some bizarre new compound that we know very little about, it is actually another term used for caffeine. Caffeine is the primary ingredient found in virtually all stimulant supplements and it is contained in them for a very good reason. Caffeine acts as a potent and powerful stimulant on the human body, helping to make you feel more awake, more alert, and more mentally focussed. Caffeine helps get you fired up and energized when your physical and mental energy levels are low, which is ideal for anybody about to game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"L-Theanine\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Taurine\"\u003eTaurine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTaurine works on a number of levels within the body, and functions in a number of different ways. For example, taurine protects the heart and cardiovascular system, due to the fact that it functions as an antioxidant which can prevent the oxidation of harmful LDL cholesterol. It also helps to improve brain health and function. In terms of weight loss and athletic performance however, taurine functions as a vasodilator which widens the blood vessels and allows more oxygenated blood to be carried to the awaiting cells throughout the body. Because of this, it can function as a stimulant, without the extreme effects associated with other stimulants such as caffeine. In terms of bodybuilding however, taurine really comes into its own as it speeds up protein synthesis, all the while increasing insulin sensitivity in the process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"L-Tyrosine\"\u003eL-Tyrosine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eL-Tyrosine works in a number of different ways, and can therefore provide a number of different benefits to the human body. To begin with, Tyrosine helps the body to manufacture vital neurotransmitters that help to regulate your mood, concentration, and focus levels. For example, one of these neurotransmitters is dopamine, which is a chemical that helps us to feel happy and relaxed. Other transmitters include epinephrine and norepinephrine, which help regulate stress responses. Another vital role associated with L-Tyrosine, is that it plays a vital role in protein synthesis, in which the body synthesizes new muscle proteins to replace old or damaged ones. In total, around 20 amino acids are required for protein synthesis to occur, and Tyrosine is one of those 20 and is one of the most important. Protein synthesis is not only essential for muscle growth and repair, it is also vital for the growth and regeneration of new cells.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Citrulline-Malate\"\u003eCitrulline Malate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBasically, cirtulline can be naturally obtained via food, or, the human body can actually produce it via ornithine, which is another amino acid that is obtained via dietary sources. The citrulline is created via the urea cycle, which is a natural process that rids the body of ammonia, lactic acid, and other harmful compounds. Citrulline malate has also been found to naturally increase arginine levels, which in turn helps to create more Nitric Oxide. NO, works to help increase circulation and blood flow, which is one of the main reasons why citrulline malate is considered so beneficial for people looking to increase and improve their performances. The reduction in ammonia and lactic acid, which can cause muscle fatigue and muscle cramps, is also very beneficial, as that can help the muscles work harder and for longer, before they fatigue. It has even been found to help increase ATP, or Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, which is a primary energy source used by the muscles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Alpha-GPC\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ALCAR\"\u003eAcetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAcetyl L-Carnitine basically helps the body to metabolize body fat as you exercise and exert yourself physically. It is able to do this by lessening the passage of long chain fatty acids through the walls of the mitochondria within the cells. During the initial stages of exercise, glycogen stores quickly diminish and so the body is forced to find an alternate source of energy, which it gets in the form of body fat. Your endurance will help determine how much fat you actually use up. Acetyl L-Carnitine however, basically helps to ensure that you burn more fat and therefore not only lose weight, but also that you have more energy in the process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"CoQ10\"\u003eCoQ10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAs mentioned, CoQ10 plays a key role in the production of energy required for the growth and maintenance of cells within our body. Our cells utilize glucose sugars in order to generate energy required by the body to perform various tasks, and it is during this process that CoQ10 really comes into its own, as it plays a key role in this very process. On top of that however, it also functions as a potent and powerful antioxidant, which has been found to help promote general health and well-being by boosting the immune system. When toxins and free radicals invade the body, they can attack our cells and can change them molecularly. Eventually, the cells could turn pre-cancerous, and even cancerous, resulting in cancer. CoQ10 however, helps to eradicate free radicals and toxins from the body, before they have chance to do any real damage to the cells. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Panax-Ginseng\"\u003ePanax Ginseng\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAs panax ginseng provides so many different benefits for the human body, understanding how it works can be tough, due to the fact that it works differently for each benefit that it provides. For sex drive and libido for example, panax ginseng is thought to assist due to the fact that it functions as a potent stress-eliminator, and it promotes a healthy libido and sex drive as a result. The supplement also enhances circulation and blood flow, resulting in increased levels of arousal, and more prominent erections in men. However, it is also rich in potent antioxidants that help eradicate free radicals and toxins from the body, preventing them from attacking our cells and altering their molecular shapes. For the heart, the antioxidant properties are also beneficial, due to the fact that panax ginseng helps to reduce LDL cholesterol. The ginseng is also rich in nootropic compounds that help boost brain health and brain power, whilst reducing stress, depression, and anxiety. The ginseng also provides stimulant-like qualities, similar to those created by caffeine, which can increase physical performance and mental alertness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"GABA\"\u003eGamma Amino-Butyric Acid (GABA)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGABA, or Gamma-aminobutyric acid, as it is formally known, is a type of supplement that has been specially designed to help improve a person’s mental health and well-being. Mental health disorders are now more common than ever before, and they are becoming a huge cause for concern, and rightfully so. Not only is GABA available as a supplement, it is also naturally synthesized in the human body, and it has been found to play a crucial role in how your nervous system functions. Because of this, GABA supplements are considered beneficial, not only for a person’s mental health and well-being, but it is also beneficial for anybody looking to increase their lean muscle mass in the process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"5-HTP\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Rhodiola-Rosea\"\u003eRhodiola Rosea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRhodiola Rosea is considered to be an adaptogen which are phytochemicals that can help to enhance the body’s ability to adapt to certain stressors. It contains a series of potent ingredients including rosin, salidroside, rosarin, and rosavin, which are all the primary components of Rhodiola Rosea’s powerful adaptogenic properties. These components help to provide psychological benefits for the human body, as it can help it to function as a stress-reducing supplement which can help to stabilize a person’s mental health and well-being. On top of that however, it can also function in many different ways, especially where physical endurance is required. Rhodiola Rosea has been found to help assist with weight loss, as well as with muscle growth. Rhodiola supplements have been proven to help enhance ATP, or Adenosine Tri-Phosphate levels, similarly to how creatine monohydrate does. ATP is a primary fuel source used by the muscles to function, so the more ATP they have, the more energy they have, and the more efficiently they will be able to work. During exercise, it also enhances glycogen stores within the muscles, which again, are used to power the muscles. The more energy the muscles have, the harder they will work, and the more effective your workouts will become.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Gingko-Biloba\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedicinal Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTaurine\u003c\/span\u003e ....................................\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e500 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eL-Tyrosine\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e500 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCitrulline (Citrulline malate)\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e340 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCholine alfoscerate\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e250 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eL-Theanine\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e200 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePanax ginseng 4:1 extract (root)\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e200 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGABA\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e200 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCaffeine\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e140 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCoQ10\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e100 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRhodiola 10:1 extract (Rhodiola rosea root; 1% Rosavins, 3% Salidroside)\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e100 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAcetylcarnitine (Acetyl L-carnitine hydrochloride)\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e....................................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e50 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, DL-malic acid, Maltodextrin, Silicon dioxide, FD\u0026amp;C Blue No. 1, FD\u0026amp;C Red No. 40, FD\u0026amp;C Yellow No. 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Recommended-Use\"\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelps (temporarily) to relieve fatigue, to promote endurance, and to enhance motor performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Duration-of-Use\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Dosage\"\u003eDosage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirections for use (Adults 18 years and older): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMix product well in 1-2 cups of liquid (water, juice, etc.) immediately before consumption.
