Vitamin D3 K2 (5000 IU D3, 180 MCG K2)

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble vitamin and hormone precursor that is critical for numerous aspects of your health, including its most well-known role in supporting bone growth and bone remodeling. *

The “sunshine vitamin” also is needed for calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to support normal bone mineralization. *

Vitamin K2

Our D3 K2 supplement contains the premium, clinically-studied form of Vitamin K2 shown to be the most effective: menaquinone-7 (MK-7) as Mena-Q7. *

Vitamin K2 helps synthesize crucial bone proteins, which allows vitamin K2 to further support healthy bone metabolism. It also helps the body properly utilize calcium to build healthy, strong bone tissue. *

Research indicates that vitamin K2 may help attenuate age-related stiffening of the artery walls, enhance vascular elasticity, and Vitamin K2 also supports cardiovascular health by inhibiting calcium deposits in the arteries and blood vessels. *

Why D3+K2?

While vitamin D ensures that calcium is properly absorbed, vitamin K makes sure the calcium is integrated into bones. Without one or the other, calcium cannot do its job effectively. *

Vitamin C 1000mg with Rose Hips

Vitamin C is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, working to protect the body from harmful free radical molecules. It’s found in some concentration in fruits and vegetables; however citrus fruits, strawberries, cantaloupe, tomatoes, broccoli, potatoes and leafy greens are the best sources.

Ascorbic acid is the chemical name for pure Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water-soluble, antioxidant vitamin. Vitamin C is not stored in the body and must be regularly replaced through diet or supplementation. The body cannot make Vitamin C on its own. Deficiency is rare, but smoking, stress and certain illnesses can cause reduced levels.

Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection for many of the body’s important enzyme systems. White blood cells (neutrophils) utilize Vitamin C to help produce cytotoxic enzymes, which they use to eliminate foreign matter. It is important in forming collagen, a protein that gives structure to bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels. Vitamin C also aids in the absorption of iron, and helps maintain capillaries, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C plays an essential role in your body’s immune system. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the p450 enzyme detoxification systems.

NutraBio Vitamin C contains 1000mg of ascorbic acid with 65 mg of Rose Hips, a plant source containing naturally occurring Vitamin C, anthocyanins, and bioflavonoids.

Vitamin B-100 Complex

Vitamin B1 (thiamine): Vitamin B1 may help naturally combat the negative effects of stress while supporting healthy energy levels, a proper nervous system, and muscle function. Vitamin B-1 plays an important part in the breakdown of foods, especially carbohydrates. It helps the body convert carbohydrates into glucose, which is then used to produce energy. Vitamin B-1 is considered an anti-stress vitamin because it supports proper nervous system and muscle functioning and may enhance the body’s ability to withstand stressful conditions. Vitamin B-1 is also necessary for the production of hydrochloric acid, making it important for proper digestion. Because Vitamin B-1 is water soluble, it’s not stored in the body and must be replenished daily. Although thiamine deficiency is rare, it can result in serious health complications involving the nervous system, brain, muscles, heart and gastrointestinal system. Individuals who consume heavy amounts of alcohol or who are chronically malnourished may have a higher-than-usual need for vitamin B-1.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): Vitamin B6 is a precursor to coenzymes involved in the growth and repair of skin and tissues lining the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the synthesis of amino acids. B2 is necessary for the formation of pigments essential to vision.

Vitamin B3 (niacinamide): Niacin is an essential B vitamin that plays many roles, including promoting cardiovascular, brain, digestive and skin health. Niacin is involved in numerous reactions inside of cells that convert food into cellular energy. Niacin is also involved in the activity of enzymes that transport and break down fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and other molecules formed from food. Niacin is particularly helpful in promoting healthy cholesterol levels. A normal function of niacin is to help remove fats (triglycerides) from tissues and the bloodstream.

Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): Vitamin B5 is vital for growth, reproduction, and normal physiological functions. B5 helps the body to combat stress and is vital for growth, reproduction, and normal physiological functions, such as the production, transporting, and release of energy from fats. B5 is the nutrient responsible for activating the adrenal glands, which help the body to combat stress. When it comes to the body’s energy metabolism, B5 plays a very important role. It is a necessary factor for the Kreb’s cycle of energy production, and together with vitamins B1, B2, and B3, helps to produce ATP, the body’s fuel for energy. B5 is required for the synthesis of lipids, as well as the production of steroids and neurotransmitters. Vitamin B5 is needed to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which transports information between vertebral nerve cells. This vitamin also plays a large role in cholesterol management, by synthesizing cholesterol, which is needed to produce vitamin D and steroid hormones. One by-product of pantothenic acid, pantethine, may help lower blood levels of both cholesterol and triglycerides.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl): performs a wide variety of functions in your body and is essential for your good health. Vitamin B6 is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red blood cell metabolism. The nervous and immune systems need vitamin B6 to function efficiently, and it is also needed for the conversion of tryptophan (an amino acid) to niacin. Your body needs vitamin B6 to make hemoglobin which carries oxygen to tissues. Vitamin B6 also helps increase the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin. A vitamin B6 deficiency can result in a form of anemia that is similar to iron deficiency anemia. Vitamin B6, through its involvement in protein metabolism and cellular growth, is important to the immune system. It helps maintain the health of lymphoid organs (thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes) that make your white blood cells. Animal studies show that a vitamin B6 deficiency can decrease your antibody production and suppress your immune response. Vitamin B6 also helps maintain your blood glucose (sugar) within a normal range. When caloric intake is low your body needs vitamin B6 to help convert stored carbohydrate or other nutrients to glucose to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin): Vitamin B12 helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells. It is also needed to help make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. B12 protects brain cells and nerve tissue and promotes better sleep.

Yohimbe (4mg)
- High Performance Weight Loss
- Increase Libido and Nitric Oxide
Yohimbine works by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow in the body. It is also thought to increase fatty acid mobilization. Yohimbe stimulates the central nervous system by causing the body to produce more noradrenaline. Its popularity has been ignited not only by it’s claimed effects to elevate libido, but also new research that shows it could be an herb with very effective antioxidant potential. Nitric Oxide levels also increase which can dilate blood vessels and can potentially allow for increased blood flow. The combination of both increased blood flow and energy contribute to yohimbine effectiveness to help maintain a healthy heart, but yohimbe also has been shown to decrease fat synthesis in the body by increasing fatty acid mobilization.

CLA (800mg)

CLA is an essential fatty acid that helps reduce body fat and increase lean muscle tissue. Studies demonstrate that CLA inhibits lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme which breaks down fat globules so they can be absorbed and stored as fat cells in the body. By inhibiting this enzyme, CLA helps reduce the amount of fat deposited and stored throughout your body.

CLA increases lean muscle tissue while maximizing your body’s fat-burning potential. Muscle tissue is more dense and more compact than body fat, which results in your body being firmer, looking thinner, and feeling more energetic. CLA is best known for helping to reduce body fat and increase lean muscle tissue. CLA is scientifically-proven to help you obtain your diet goal two ways: CLA increases lean muscle mass, which naturally slims your body. Then, the added muscle burns more fat. This way, you lose weight in the right places and drop clothes sizes.

Some scientists have linked the steady rise in obesity in the U.S. over the past 30 years to the reduction of CLA in our diets. There are two reasons: Americans have substantially reduced their consumption of beef and dairy products. Additionally, changes in beef and dairy cattle feed (from pasture grasses to forage) have reduced their production of CLA by 65%.

Glutamine

Gut Health. Muscle Growth

NutraBio L-Glutamine is vegetable based, naturally fermented 100% L-Glutamine manufactured right here in the United States! We do not sell glutamine that is synthetic or made from human hair like much of the cheaper glutamine on the market. This is pure, free form 100% L-Glutamine with absolutely no additives, fillers or excipients!

After an intense workout, the levels of cellular glutamine can drop by 50 percent and plasma levels by 30 percent. This muscle-wasting state is a gateway for the body to use your muscle for energy rather than carbohydrates, but glutamine can help prevent this from happening.

Supplementing with L-glutamine allows your muscles to fight and push a bit further. This boosts your strength and helps repair your skeletal muscles.

A study found that glutamine supplementation makes it possible to recover quicker from intense weight training sessions because it improves muscle hydration. This aids the muscle recovery process and reduces recovery time for wounds and burns.

NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) (600 mg)
$15.99 Quick View

NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) (600 mg)

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a more stable form of the amino acid L-Cysteine and is the most effective way to boost Glutathione levels in the body. NAC is a more stable form of L-Cysteine because it has an acetyl group (CH3CO) attached. NAC has all the properties of L-Cysteine but is more water soluble and said to be more bio-available than L-Cysteine.

NAC makes up Glutathione, a critical antioxidant scientifically proven to scavenge free radicals. NAC has the unique ability to maintain healthy lung tissue, support the body’s natural defenses and enhance cellular health and longevity. These qualities make NAC especially beneficial for active people, the elderly and those exposed to polluted environments.

What makes NAC so effective as a glutathione booster is the fact that it is a stable amino acid that can retain up to six times the amount of the sulfur and sulfhydryl groups after digestion. Scientists believe that sulfur and sulfur compounds may be central to glutathione. This is crucial for the body’s life functions, as NAC helps the body neutralize toxins, heavy metals, such as mercury from dental amalgam fillings, cadmium and lead from paint and cigarette smoke. The Sulfhydryl balance has also been linked to enhance resistance to viral infections.

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) provides powerful immune support and also packs a powerful anti-toxin potential. N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine has the ability to neutralize cell and DNA damaging free radicals.

NAC has been shown to play a protective role against a variety of toxic hazards such as cigarette smoke, auto exhaust, certain herbicides, and overdoses of acetaminophen. It can also play a beneficial role in prostate and respiratory conditions. For example, NAC has well established anti-mucolytic (anti-mucous) properties and has been shown to increase mucocilary transport in smokers.

GABA (500mg)

Brain Health. Calming Agent

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid which acts as an inhibitory calming neurotransmitter to regulate brain and nerve cell activity by inhibiting the number of neurons firing in the brain. GABA is referred to as the brain’s natural calming agent, and by inhibiting over-stimulation of the brain, GABA may help promote relaxation and ease nervous tension. Taken at bedtime, supplemental GABA may assist some people in the initiation of sleep and produce a deeper and more beneficial sleep.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is major neurotransmitter widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS). This neurotransmitter appears to have a significant influence on the pituitary gland’s hormone secretion, primarily through its hypothalamic effect.

GABA is also the most important and widespread inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It helps prevent the over-firing of the nerve cells and decreases overall neuron activities in the CNS. Over-firing can cause restlessness, spasmodic movements, irritability and anxiety. GABA is also utilized by the brain to create tranquility and calmness through the brain’s metabolic processes.

GABA stimulates the production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). It is HGH that has been found in studies to facilitate the metabolism of fats in the body. HGH is also known for its powerful muscle-building effects. Increasing HGH can definitely be a good thing, especially for bodybuilders. HGH tends to decrease naturally with age, so the older you get, the harder it is to lose fat. That’s one reason GABA has become so popular.

GABA is usually deficient in both clinical and experimentally induced seizures. Low levels of GABA promote excitatory neurotransmitters and have been found in the brains of patients with multiple sclerosis, action tremors, tardive dyskinesia, and other disorders of movement. Low GABA levels have been found in panic, anxiety, depression, alcoholism, and bipolar disorders.* Vitamin B6, manganese, taurine, and lysine can increase the synthesis and effects of GABA.

Citrulline Powder

Athletic Performance

L-Citrulline is an amino acid that has numerous health and athletic performance benefits.

During the past decade research on L-Citrulline has shown it plays an important role in nitric oxide production, vascular health, muscle protein synthesis, ammonia elimination, and immune function. *

L-Citrulline is converted to L-Arginine in the body to support L-Arginine and nitric oxide levels. Increased production of nitric oxide promotes vascular dilation which improves oxygen and blood circulation throughout the body. L-Citrulline can also improve heart health by increasing the strength of arteries. *

L-Citrulline also relieves muscle fatigue through ammonia elimination. L-Citrulline helps to rid the body of ammonia, a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism and provides a readily available substrate for arginine production. L-Citrulline is involved in the formation of urea in the liver which plays an important part in the removal of waste created by the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of proteins.*

Beta Alanine Powder

Beta-Alanine Boosts Muscle Endurance and Strength

Beta-Alanine is a lactic acid buffer that increases training capacity giving you the ability to train harder and longer. Weight training and athletic activities cause your body to produce lactic acid. This causes muscle pH to drop and become more acidic due to the large amount of hydrogen ions produced. As muscle pH drops, your muscle’s ability to perform at its peak level decreases. Beta Alanine works by increasing muscle carnosine levels, which in turn, works as a muscle buffer by soaking up these extra hydrogen ions. In scientific studies, beta Alanine has been shown to increase strength, power output, endurance, exercise capacity, muscle mass, and delay the onset of neuromuscular fatigue. Beta Alanine is perfect for anyone who practices a sport where strength, power and endurance are needed.

Beta-Alanine increases intra-muscular Carnosine concentrations, thereby improving working capacity and performance by up to 20%. Scientific research has demonstrated that Beta-Alanine taken with creatine monohydrate produced additional synergistic effects, including fat free mass gain, increased strength and increased body fat reductions. Beta alanine will give you a more effective workout and is the great addition to your supplement regimen.

Much of Beta-Alanine beneficial effects come through increasing the synthesis of carnosine, a powerful intracellular buffer. Carnosine is found in both type 1 and type 2 muscle fibers, though in significantly higher concentrations in type 2 fibers (the fibers we use in high intensity strength workouts and which are most responsive to growth). To function effectively, muscle cells rely on buffers like carnosine to avoid becoming acidic (low pH) during exercise. In order for muscles to remain strong and maintain powerful contractions, they need to be in an optimal pH range. If the pH drops below that optimal level your muscles will have significantly less strength and will fatigue more quickly.

You know the pH is dropping when you feel that familiar lactic acid burn in your muscles. Lactic acid builds up largely as a result of an increase in hydrogen ions which build up when you exercise. Beta-Alanine helps to increase carnosine which acts to buffer lactic acid and return pH level within muscle cells back to optimum levels.

- NO Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharin, Xylitol or Acesulfame K.
- 2.5G Leucine
- 1.25G Isoleucine
- 1.25G Valine
UNFLAVORED BCAA:Our unflavored BCAA has a bitter and what some consider to be an unpleasant taste. This is because we do not add flavoring to mask the taste of the individual amino acids. If you want a BCAA that tastes great, try our grape, watermelon or lemon lime. Our unflavored version is recommended for advanced users who have experience with it.

BCAA 5000 combines the powerful muscle regenerating benefits of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Collectively made up of leucine, isoleucine, and valine, BCAAs are known as essential amino acids because the human body cannot produce them and they must be consumed through diet or supplementation. Independently, each BCAA plays an important physiological role in the body. However, it is their synergistic combination that produces one of the most important processes involved in muscle building and recovery—muscle protein synthesis (MPS).

Top 10 reasons why BCAAs should be a part of your supplement regimen. As a whole, BCAAs support:
- Improved muscle protein synthesis
- Assist in maintaining an anabolic (muscle building) environment – Exercise can put the body in a catabolic state (muscle breakdown). When this happens, BCAAs are used for energy as opposed to growth and repair. BCAA supplementation can improve nitrogen retention by sparing other amino acid groups, which ultimately keeps the body in an anabolic state.
- Lean mass growth – BCAAs activate satellite cells that travel and attach to individual muscle fibers, helping the stressed or damaged muscle as a whole grow in size.
- Increased muscle strength – Going hand in hand with benefit #3, increases in lean mass mean large muscle fiber sizes and greater cross-sectional areas, which equates to greater increases in muscle strength.
- Improved glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity – While isoleucine improves glucose tolerance on its own, the whole trio of BCAAs can support improved insulin sensitivity and metabolic rate for improved body composition.
- Endurance performance – During prolonged exercise, BCAAs are taken up by the skeletal muscle rather than the liver in order to contribute to energy production (oxidative metabolism). They also can help prevent muscle damage during long-duration endurance sports by protecting muscle tissue
- Decreased post-exercise soreness – Also known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). BCAAs help repair the muscular structural damage caused by strenuous exercise that is thought to be responsible for DOMS.
- Maintaining lean muscle mass during periods of calorie restriction – When calories are cut as a whole, this usually means a drop in protein consumption. Not enough protein and muscles may start to atrophy. Studies have shown BCAA supplementation during periods of calorie restriction can assist in maintaining lean muscle mass while also decreasing fat mass.
- Blunting muscle fatigue – Valine competes with tryptophan for entry into the brain and prevails. This means less serotonin gets to the brain, ultimately leading to stronger muscular contractions, quicker recovery between sets, and prolonged muscular strength and endurance.

Muscle Growth & Recovery

Duck feathers and human hair? Yuck! Not in our BCAA’s. NutraBio branched chain amino acids and our free-form Leucine, Isoleucine and valine are all 100% vegetable based. No hair, feathers or any other weird stuff. They are manufactured through natural fermentation of vegetable based ingredients, and except for flavoring, they have absolutely no additives, fillers or excipients!

BCAA 5000 supports new muscle growth and prevents muscle breakdown. BCAA 5000 contains a potent balance of Branched Chain Amino Acids which are building blocks of muscle mass and size. Metabolized directly in the muscle, BCAAs, may improve nitrogen retention by sparing other amino acid groups for repair and rebuilding. The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s), so named because of their unique branched chemical structure, are essential in that the body cannot make them from other compounds. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anti-catabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and muscle building effects.

Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is the name given to three of the eight essential amino acids needed to make protein: leucine, isoleucine and valine. They are called branched-chain because their structure has a ‘branch’ off the main trunk of the molecule. The combination of these three essential amino acids makes up approximately one-third of skeletal muscle in the human body. The body cannot produce BCAA’s on its own, but must obtain through diet or supplementation. In order to get energy, the body can actually break down muscle to get these BCAAs. By supplementing BCAAs during and after your workout, you can prevent muscle tissue breakdown, which occurs as a natural part of metabolism.

Almost 1/3 of muscle tissue is composed of BCAA which are needed for muscle growth, the maintenance of muscle tissue and to preserve muscle stores of glycogen. BCAA’s can turn on the main muscle growth pathway in muscle tissue which can increase protein synthesis and help prevent muscle tissue breakdown after strenuous exercise. Each serving of NutraBio ultra-micronized, NutraBio’s BCAA provides the three free form branched chain amino acids; L-Luecine, L-Valine and L-Isoleucine in the proper 2:1:1 ratio and is available in either pure powder or capsules.

Supplementing with BCAA supports: Muscle tissues are comprised of two proteins, actin and myosin. The main components of the two proteins are leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which are called branched chain amino acid (BCAAs) for their molecular structures. BCAAs accounts for about 35% of the essential amino acids contained in myoproteins. Replenishment of BCAAs increases the raw materials for muscle tissues, contributing to muscle building.

BCAAs make up one third of muscle protein. During intense exercise the BCAAs are expended from muscle tissue at a rapid rate, leading to increased muscle tissue breakdown. BCAA-5000 is a high potency formula with a specific ratio of branched chain amino acids designed to enhance absorption and muscle tissue recovery. Amino acids play a vital role in muscle growth and recuperation, weight management and many other important bodily functions. BCAAs are metabolized directly in the muscle and are especially useful to athletes because they may improve nitrogen retention by sparing other amino acid groups for repair and rebuilding.

Arginine AKG Powder

Boost Nitric Oxide

Boost Nitric Oxide to extend muscle pump, enhance muscle growth and get rock hard muscle: Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) can boost short term nitric oxide (NO) levels which creates a muscle growth environment in your body by increasing the volume of blood flowing through muscle tissue which leads to increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity and power output. AAKG helps amplify muscle-growth signals giving faster gains in lean mass and accelerates both fast and slow twitch muscle fiber for greater strength, improved muscle recovery, and increased endurance.

Arginine-AKG promotes increased nitric oxide (NO) production for enhanced blood flow and better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscle. That means faster muscle growth and rock hard muscle.

Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is for anyone who wishes to extend their muscle pump – signal muscle growth, speed recovery, increase their strength, and stamina. In addition, L-Arginine stimulates the production of Growth Hormone (GH), a chemical produced by the body that promotes growth and plays an essential role in metabolism. Growth Hormone (GH) is popular among athletes because it’s believed to play a part in building lean muscle mass and increasing strength. Used in conjunction with your exercise program, AAKG may support myodilation, the expansion of muscle tissue. This product contains 100% Arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate in its purest form to give you continuous pumps and rock hard muscles.

Arginine-AKG is a more bio-available form of Arginine (or L-Arginine) which is a crystalline free-form amino acid involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry, including muscle metabolism, ammonia detoxification, hormone secretion and the immune system. L-Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid, because although it is normally synthesized in sufficient amounts by the body, supplementation is sometimes required. Arginine supports protein synthesis as it is involved in the transport and storage of nitrogen and is important for proper physical performance because it is used by the body to produce creatine.

An additional function and benefit of L-Arginine-AKG is its role as a precursor in creatine and glutamine production. Daily supplementation of L-Arginine-AKG has been shown to increase the body’s creatine and glutamine stores. This may lead to improvements in performance, strength and recovery for athletes.

Arginine Powder

Nitric Oxide & Circulation

Our free-form L-Arginine is HPLC verified ultra-pure for maximum bioavailability and effectiveness. Arginine (or L-Arginine) is a crystalline free-form amino acid involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry, including muscle metabolism, hormone secretion, ammonia detoxification, and the immune system. Arginine promotes nitric oxide production, which helps support circulation and muscles.

L-Arginine is one of 20 amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Arginine can serve as a source of energy, and is involved in various pathways throughout the body. Arginine supports the effect of exercise and is one of the most important amino acids involved in immune function.L-Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid, because although it is normally synthesized in sufficient amounts by the body, supplementation is sometimes required. Arginine supports protein synthesis as it is involved in the transport and storage of nitrogen and is important for proper physical performance because it is used by the body to produce creatine.

L-Arginine is required for the synthesis of nitric oxide, a secondary messenger involved in blood flow. Nitric oxide is a compound that helps keep blood vessels dilated to promote healthy blood flow. Arginine also stimulates protein synthesis and has been studied for wound healing, bodybuilding, enhancement of sperm production (spermatogenesis), and prevention of wasting in people with critical illness. L-Arginine is beneficial for overall cardiovascular maintenance as well as other areas that depend largely on healthy circulatory status.

Arginine Improves Growth Hormone (GH) levels:

Arginine stimulates the natural release of growth hormone and is a far safer and more cost effective alternative to growth hormone treatment such as HGH injections. Growth hormone is one of the most powerful hormones in the human body which promotes the growth of lean muscle tissue and the loss of fat. As you age, growth hormone levels drop, which is one reason you lose muscle and gain fat. In a controlled trial, when arginine and other amino acids were combined with weight training, a greater decrease in body fat was obtained after only five weeks than when the same exercise was combined with a placebo. Arginine is also needed to increase protein synthesis, which can in turn increase muscle growth. [1,2].

Growth Hormone (GH) for the athlete:

Athletes involved in intense exercise on a regular basis need Growth Hormone (GH) to increase energy, enhance lean body mass and to maintain strong bones and keep their weight under control. Availability of GH in systemic circulation also helps increase strength, burn fat, enhance libido, boost immunity and support tendons and ligaments. By inducing the secretion of GH from the pituitary, arginine and lysine stimulate muscle metabolism and, hence, provide nutritional support for the athlete.

Acetyl L-Carnitine (500mg)

Improves Exercise Capacity & Fat Loss

Acetyl L-Carnitine is a stabilized and more absorbable form of the amino acid L-Carnitine. Acetyl L-Carnitine plays an important role in protecting and supporting brain and muscle function. As an antioxidant, Acetyl L-Carnitine protects neurons from damage caused by superoxide radicals.

Acetyl L-Carnitine is involved in aspects of neuronal metabolism because its molecular structure resembles the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Supplementing with Acetyl L-Carnitine may improve acetylcholine production and stimulation of protein and membrane phospholipid synthesis.

Acetyl L-Carnitine facilitates the metabolism of fatty acids for energy generation. A greater reliance on fat for energy can result in a sparing of muscle glycogen, an enhancement of exercise performance and a reduction in stored body fat. Acetyl L-Carnitine has profound effects on endurance and exercise performance by reducing the respiratory exchange ratio and reducing lactic acid accumulation in muscles extending exercise capacity before fatigue.

Carnitine comes in both L- and D-carnitine forms. However, only the L- form is biologically active. The D- form is completely inactive and in large quantities and particular conditions, the D- form may inhibit the utilization of L-carnitine. NutraBio L-Carnitine supplements contain no synthetic D-Carnitine or DL-Carnitine. D-Carnitine and DL-Carnitine are less effective than L-Carnitine. D-Carnitine and DL-Carnitine are not recommended because of their adverse physical side effects.

CarboMax Maltodextrin

CarboMax is a source of pure complex carbohydrates made from LCPF-50 (long-chain polymetric fraction) maltodextrin for quick and sustained energy. CarboMax contains complex glucose polymers that are metabolized at a slow, steady rate in a time released fashion making it the smartest choice for athletes who want to increase muscle endurance and mass without the complications of simple sugars. CarboMax can be used for pre-workout energy, post workout recovery, carb loading, or can be added to your favorite protein to create the perfect MRP to your own specifications.

CarboMax is an energy drink for athletes and exercise enthusiasts which contain both long and branched chain carbohydrates. Scientific research as far back as the late 1970s indicates that the digestion of long and branched chain carbohydrates is extremely efficient. In fact, there is evidence that absorption becomes more efficient as chain length and branching increase.

CarboMax contains the highest percentage of long and branched chain carbohydrates, more than any other carb drink. CarboMax gives you quick, consistent energy when you need it, with no unnecessary fat, protein or fiber. It won’t leave you feeling sluggish and full when you need to feel light and energized. CarboMax is smooth and mixes easily, with no oily or bitter aftertaste. You can drink CarboMax before and throughout workouts, to replenish fluids and energy.

CarboMax is a 100% pure complex carbohydrate supplement derived from a specialized high-polymerization maltodextrin, an easily digestible complex carbohydrate from corn starch. Maltodextrin contains glucose polymers, linked sugar compounds that are easier for the body to assimilate and use. Glucose polymers are metabolized at a slow, steady rate that can help to sustain energy levels during endurance-oriented workouts and/or athletic events and support weight gain. CarboMax is a convenient source of energy for professional athletes and active individuals.

CarboMax is not the standard low-polymerization maltodextrin sold by most companies. These cheaper maltodextrins are made from corn starch that has been so heavily processed that it barely qualifies as a complex carbohydrate. They are broken down so quickly that they virtually act like simple sugar. CarboMax contains: 3.5% mono and disaccharides, just enough for immediate energy requirements without any excess conversion to fat, 34% oligosaccharides, or medium chain carbs designed for glycogen replenishment and mid-term energy needs, and over 62% long chain polysaccharides that are slowly broken down to glucose of the next 2 hours to supply the body with a controlled, time released, continuous source of energy.

Caffeine Anhydrous (200mg)

Caffeine has been shown to enhance fat-loss, maximize energy, increase performance in aerobic and anaerobic events, and works in synergy with other substances such as choline and acetyl l-carnitine (ALCAR). Caffeine is primarily used as a power and energy accelerant! It’s perfect to super energize your body for powerful workouts. This fast-acting substance delivers the right molecular structure to your energy systems for maximum energy and power output. Caffeine is fast-acting because it stimulates the central nervous system so you’re neurologically charged to increased levels of alertness and focus.

Caffeine is one of the most popular fast acting stimulants. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, increases the release of adrenaline, acts as a thermogenic agent (raises metabolic rate and core body temperature), increases the use of body fat for fuel, and spares muscle glycogen increasing endurance.

Studies suggest Caffeine has significant effects on physiological response and performance of trained athletes. Caffeine should be taken approximately Three hours before training for maximum benefit with ample fluids. If Caffeine is taken on a daily basis, the positive benefits to training will be diminished. Caffeine ingested through foods and beverages should be limited to ensure a maximum training effect.
