SO WHAT ARE THE RESEARCHED
BACK INGREDIENTS IN High-Voltage BODY
OCTANE™ AND WHAT DO THEY DO?
CITRULLINE MALATE
Used and proven effective for
over 20 years in Europe as a treatment for fatigue
and dementia, Citrulline Malate (CM) has made
its way into the world of athletic performance
thanks to the research and development team
at MAN Sports Products Inc™.
This unique combination of the
amino acid Citrullline and the organic salt
Malate offers athletes with a new choice in
improving performance and recovery. As an intermediate
in the Urea Cycle, Citrulline aids in the removal
of endotoxins such as lactic acid and ammonia1.
These endotoxins are produced through intense
physical activity, protein metabolism, and catabolic
states. Endotoxins damage living cells and wreak
havoc on athletic performance2.
Researches also point to Citrulline
as possibly a greater alternative to Arginine
for enhancing plasma Arginine levels because
of Citrullines effects on endogenous Arginine
synthesis3 -meaning
that CM may be a superior alternative to Arginine
for regulating Nitric Oxide production, growth
hormone release, insulin and creatine production.
And that’s not all, it has also been discovered
that supplementing CM at a dose as low as 6
grams a day significantly reduced muscle fatigue,
increased ATP production by 34%, and caused
a 20% increase in Phosphocreatine recovery after
exercise4. What this
means is that Citrulline Malate improved aerobic
metabolism, cellular energy production, and
promoted muscular recovery.
When all's said and done athletes
using Citrulline Malate will have more energy
to train better and harder and will recover
faster from their training sessions.
L-CARNITINE L-TARTRATE (LCLT)
Although referred to as an amino
acid, L-Carnitine is a natural nutrient belonging
to the B-Vitamin family (BT). It is mainly stored
in skeletal muscle and the heart and can be
synthesized naturally in the body. However under
certain physiological conditions the body may
not produce sufficient levels of Carnitine.
L-Carnitine’s main function
inside the body is to transport long chain fatty
acids into the mitochondria (furnace of the
cell), where fats can be broken down and converted
to energy. As a result, L-Carnitine is necessary
for the production of energy from fat5.
Past studies have revealed the effectiveness
of L-Carnitine in relevance to exercise performance,
cardiovascular health, weight management, and
much more…
Athletes have long favored L-Carnitine
supplementation for its ability to increase
VO2 max6,7,
which is the highest volume of oxygen a person
can consume during exercise. What's more, L-Carnitine
supplementation reduces lactic acid buildup
and spares glycogen and as a result delays fatigue8.
And that’s not all.
Enter L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate (LCLT).
This new age Carnitine compound has just recently
been discovered to have some fascinating recuperation
properties. More specifically, research on LCLT
at a dose of 2 grams a day was shown to reduce
the amount of muscle disruption after weight
training9. Circulating
markers of muscle damage after exercise lowered,
energy substrate breakdown during and after
exercise lowered and muscle soreness after exercise
was decreased from those who supplemented with
LCLT9. Since exercise
depletes Carnitine concentrations in the blood
cells, the result is less than optimal blood
flow and oxygen supply to muscles. The positive
results from LCLT administration are believed
to be a result of enhanced oxygen supply to
the muscle by means of increased blood flow.
In addition to that, it appears that LCLT may
support protein synthesis and anabolic response
to exercise by protecting anabolic receptors
from excessive damage as a result of resistant
exercise10.
In simple terms, the use of LCLT
not only will enhance performance and prevent
fatigue, but more importantly LCLT promotes
recovery.
MUSCLE CARNOSINE BOOSTERS
BETA ALANINE & L-HISTIDINE
Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine)
is a naturally-occurring dipeptide discovered
in Russia in 1900 and is made up of amino acids
Beta-Alanine and L-Histidine. Carnosine is found
in skeletal muscle, heart and brain. Since much
of the research with carnosine was performed
in Russia, it has been largely unavailable to
the Western World until just recently. Carnosine
is now becoming more and more recognized for
its remarkable potential as a highly effective
anti-aging nutrient...But there’s a lot
more!
Antioxidant, buffering, free radical
scavenging and even neurotransmitter properties
are attributed to Carnosine. Carnosine is also
found primarily in type II muscle fibres11,12.
These are the “fast-twitch” fibres
that are important for explosive movements such
as sprinting and weight training. Increasing
muscle Carnosine concentrations are important
to athletes because Carnosine increases intramuscular
hydrogen ion (H+) buffering capacity. And the
production of H+ is the result of energy release,
leading to a burning sensation and muscle fatigue.
Basically what this means is that Carnosine
increases your ability to work harder by preventing
your muscle from becoming too acidic during
times of stress by picking up Hydrogen ions.
More Carnosine in muscle means you can keep
muscle acid in check and train harder and longer.13
Another thing you need to know
about Carnosine is that it is a natural substrate
for the production of Nitric Oxide18.
In fact it is the true substrate for NOS (nitric
oxide synthase) activity, which is the true
enzyme that is responsible for generating Nitric
Oxide. Are you starting to see what a versatile
and truly remarkable compound Carnosine is?
There is more.
Carnosine prevents muscular injuries
and speeds up recovery times in sports. An explanation
to this is that high-intensity performance causes
oxidative stress in the muscles and this result
in depleted Carnosine stores. The free radicals
produced through high intensity muscular activity
cause lipid peroxidation as well as carbonylation
of proteins and phospholipids.
This causes proteins to break
up in a process known as proteolysis. Since
protein carbonylation precedes the loss of membrane
integrity, it may be associated with the toxic
process leading to cell aging and fatality.
Carnosine combats these reactions if there is
enough of it in the muscles.
So why not start mega dosing Carnosine?
Dietary intake of Carnosine gets broken down
into the amino acids Beta-Alanine and Histidine
and in turn gets resynthesized into Carnosine
in the muscle. Carnosine biosynthesis is dependent
on availability of Beta-Alanine and L-Histidine.
If truth be told, a deficiency in L-Histidine
reduces muscle Carnosine levels, while supplementation
with it increases Carnosine levels14,15,16.
Another study done on Beta-Alanine and L-Histidine
for 30 days increased muscle Carnosine by 13%17!
The take home message is this. Oral supplementation
of Carnosine can lead to increased concentrations
of Carnosine. Supplementation with Beta-Alanine
and L-Histidine may prove to be a more effective
way for getting the benefits of elevated levels
of Carnosine. And with these elevated levels
of Carnosine, increased athletic performance,
and a great deal more is the result.
GLUCURONOLACTONE (DGL)
D-Glucurono-y-lactone, or in
organic chemistry nomenclature, D-glucurono-3,
6-lactone (henceforth referred to as DGL) is
a natural metabolite of glucose and regulates
the formation of glycogen. DGL is most likely
hepatoprotective19,
meaning it will reduce ill effect or even improve
the physical state and function of the liver,
which is where the metabolism of glucose begins
enzymatically. By protecting glycogen stores
and their synthesis, DGL is a ergogenic aid
that can help fuel both exercise/athletic performance
and recovery.
Some of its positive properties/benefits
of DGL have been known to include acting as
a stimulant, helping in memory retention, concentration
and reaction time and promoting a positive mood20,21.
ASPARTIC ACID
Aspartic acid
also known as aspartate is a non essential amino
acid. Research indicates that aspartic acid
may act as an excitatory neurotransmitter in
the brain. Of further interest to bodybuilders
and athletes, aspartic acid is a metabolite
in the urea cycle, aiding the body in removing
detrimental ammonia. It also participates in
gluconeogenisis, which is the process in which
the body generates glucose from non-carbohydrate
sources.
Studies show
that aspartic may increase resistance to fatigue
and increase endurance. Low levels of aspartic
acid have been associated with chronic fatigue.
Aspartic acids antifatigue and energizing effects
may be a result of its role in the kreb cycle.
During the kreb cycle, aspartic acid aids in
the production of asparagine, arginine, lysine,
methionine, threonine, the BCAA isoleucine and
many nucleotides, all important amino acids
and biochemical’s that support energy
and fight fatigue.
