Information About The Key Ingredients Within Pre-Workout Supplements

mardi 26 mars 2013

Pre-workout supplements are dietary supplements commonly used by those involved in bodybuilding and athletics. The ingredients among the most widely used pre-workout supplements contain beta alanine, caffeine, creatine, nitric oxide booster (such as arginine, or citrulline), and more. Each ingredient generally improves your overall performance and it helps increase your strength, focus, endurance and energy. Here are the key ingredients and its functions:

Beta Alanine

Beta Alanine is an important ingredient which boost our muscle output and strength, and increases our muscle mass. Muscle recovery and production is what Beta Alanine do. It is part of what makes up the amino acid Carnosine. Carnosine is a powerful buffer that works in the cells of our body.

Creatine

Creatine enhances the ability of the muscle to maintain power output during brief periods of high-intensity exercise. The common mechanism for creatine supplementation is known to be the increase of intramuscular creatine stores. An interesting effect of creatine supplementation appears to be enhanced ability for the muscle to store glycogen.

Creatine enhances the ability for the muscle to store glycogen which is used to fuel anaerobic activity (i.e. activity that is too intense to allow the cardiopulmonary system to deliver adequate oxygen). This is good for those body builders who wants high intensity in their workout.

*What about Creatine and Endurance Excercise ?

Studies show that the possible effect of creatine on long duration exercise may help your endurance by reducing the effect of lactic acid buildup in your muscles, which allows fatigue to take longer to set in.

Caffeine

Caffeine is a well known, popular drug. Seen nearly everywhere these days, within coffee, soda, tea, and in pill form. As it relates to exercise, caffeine has been shown to increase endurance and enhance performance. As well as focus and mental clarity.

DMAA (1,3 - Dimethylamylamine)- Banned Substance

DMAA (1,3 - Dimethylamylamine) is a banned substance which you should avoid when you see it in a label of any pre workout drinks you have. Actions have been taken against DMAA to have it withdrawn from selves by U.S., Canada, Denmark, New Zealand and Australia. Consumers must not purchase products with this substance.

Niacin (Vitamin B3)

Production of energy within our bodies is the primary function of Niacin and all the other parts of the B vitamin complex.

BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids)

Including leucine, isoleucine, and valine these three may help with muscle synthesis and recovery folowing exercise. they can also compete with the AA called Tryptophan which eventually acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, to signal the brain to feel fatigue.

Arginine

Arginine increases the amount of nutrients being fed to your muscles during your workouts and it is also used in our body to make nitric oxide, which dilates your blood vessel.

Taurine

Helping to increase your oxygen consumption and prolonging exercise time before exhaustion is what Taurine do. It has antioxidant properties and has been found to help maintain heart function after your workout and improve workout capacity.

L-Citrulline

Can help stimulate muscle protein synthesis, improve energy levels,enhanced immune system function, extend muscular endurance and increase nitric oxide levels.

Glutamine

Reducing the amount of ammonia buildup in the bloodstream during prolonged periods of strenuous exercise has been found to be the function of Glutamine. One sign of fatigue is ammonia buildup.

Electrolytes

We need electrolytes during long periods of exercise which is crucial to keep the body running smoothly. It helps maintain our energy levels through exercises.

Increasing your overall performance at the gym is the main goal of pre-workout supplements. Nobody needs it, but it gives you the motivation to work harder in your workout to maximize your potential.
