Ingredients
Protein powder
Protein is an important composition of
tissues. Protein powder is extracted from the egg and milk
protein. It’s easily absorbed by human body. Muscles needed
protein powder can increase the positive nitrogen balance.
The keep of positive nitrogen balance can make muscle
growth.
Creatine
Creatine is also called guanidine acetic
acid, it is natural nutrients in
our body, the main functions
is to make muscles stronger and more solid, to help muscle
cells to store energy and prevent the body to produce too
much lactic acid, thereby reducing fatigue of muscle cells,
increased exercise tolerance.
Glutamine (Gln)
Glutamine plays an important role to
maintain the level of skeletal muscle protein, to maintain
immune system function, and regulation of glucose or
glycogen metabolism. After exercise training, the
concentrations of glutamine decreased significantly.
Glutamine decline marked the decomposition of muscle tissue.
Therefore, after exercise should be added glutamine.
Branched chain amino acids
Branched-chain amino acids
are defined as a group of amino
acids whose structure contain branch chains, including
Leucine, Isoleucine and
Valine. Branched-chain amino acids in skeletal muscle
during training the consumption are very fast, before or
during exercise supply branched-chain amino acids can
improve exercise capacity and delay fatigue. Immediately
after exercise or after exercise with food, branched-chain
amino acid can not only rapid recovery levels of muscle
branched-chain amino acid and reduce the level of cortisol,
but also stimulate the production of insulin and to promote
the absorption of other amino acids in the muscles. The most
important functions of branched-chain amino acids are to
promote protein synthesis after exercise metabolism,
accelerate muscle synthesis and reduce muscle tissue
decomposition, contribute to the increase of muscle mass.
Fish oil
Fish oil is the special nutrition which
can prevent muscle reduction. Strength training, stress,
saturated fat and simple sugar consumption can produce E2 (a
kind of hormone can accelerate decomposition and catabolism
of protein). Fish oil produced E1 can inhibit E2, and
stimulate growth hormone
production. Achieve the desired effect of promote muscle
growth.
Arginine
The functions of
arginine are that it can increase collagen synthesis,
stimulate hormone, increase serum
concentrations of insulin, inhibit of protein metabolism,
increase lymphocyte proliferation and disinfection, improve
immune function and promote wound healing.
Vitamin C
In heavy exercise, human body oxygen
consumption increased, oxidative stress of body can
produce free radical increased to
2-3 times relative to usual level, caused by membrane
damage.
So antioxidant supplementation is
necessary.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E can prevent oxygen free
radicals on skeletal muscle damage, repair damaged cells,
leading to better recovery, in
order to achieve the goal that power growth and muscle
increased.
Zinc
Production of testosterone and growth
hormone are requiring enough zinc. Normal serum testosterone
level of training allows athletes to maintain good condition
and to improve muscle size and strength through training.
Magnesium
Magnesium took part in the growth process
of the body, protein synthesis, muscle contraction and body
temperature regulation. ATP synthesis can not
generate without magnesium.
Magnesium took part in muscle
contraction, improve glucose tolerance capabilities,
it can enhance the muscle strength. Long-term
movement athlete will have an accident in case of magnesium
deficiency. Therefore long-term movement athlete must intake
enough of magnesium to protect body from accidents and
unfortunate.
L-carnitine
L-Carnitine is a carrier of fatty acid
transporter, is a necessary prerequisite of fatty acid
oxidation for energy supply. L-Carnitine can promote the
oxidation of use of branched-chain amino acids, ensure the
ongoing movement, help the body remove excess lactic acid,
accelerates the fatigue recovery.
Weight gainer powder
Weight gainer powder is a kind of
high-calorie nutritional supplements. Its main components
include carbohydrate, protein, vitamins and trace elements.
Some of weight gainer powder also added creatine, glutamine,
branched-chain amino acids, and so on. Additional training
may be required to maximize the variety of nutrients.
HMB
HMB can prevent muscle protein
degradation. It also can significantly increase muscle size
and strength. Reduce the catabolism of the body after a long
campaign. It has an effect on increasing muscle with taking
creatine at the same time.
Sodium-free electrolyte
Sodium has an effect on water status
under the skin. To reduce sodium intake will increase muscle
definition. One week before competition athletes need to
limit sodium intake. This product don’t limit intake of
other electrolytes. So it’s significant for athletes.
