Let’s take a more indepth look at Primal N20's ingredients.
N20 Drive ™ Blend
(Creatine Monohydrate, Di Creatine Malate)
Creatine is used in the high-energy phosphate or ATP-PCr system to
regenerate ATP. ATP, the body's main source of energy, is a molecule of
adenosine (adenine + the sugar ribose) linked to three phosphate
molecules by high-energy bonds. Breaking of the two outer bonds results
in the release of energy. When the most outer bond is broken, the energy
is released and ADP and Pi are left behind. Creatine, which is bonded to
a phosphate ion, transfers energy to the ADP and Pi molecule by breaking
its own bond. This regenerates the ATP molecule, which means one now has
more energy to use. Skeletal muscle has a limited storage of creatine.
Therefore supplementing with creatine increases your ability to form ATP
and therefore increases the available energy for exercise (Casey et al.
1996 & 2000). Creatine has been shown to:
Increase muscle size and strength (Willoughby, 2001)
Increase power output (Becque, 2000)
Increase high-intensity exercise performance (Tarnopolsky, 2000)
Increase work capacity (Rico-Sanz, 2000)
Creatine is one of the most scientifically proven-effective supplements
on the market, with creatine monohydrate being the form used in most
studies.
CreaPrime™ Blend
Citrulline Malate, L-Arginine Alpha KetoGlutarate 2:1, (Di-L-Arginine)-L-Malate,
Citric Acid, (Di-L-Arginine) Orotate
The rate-limiting step of amino acid uptake into skeletal muscle is the
transportation of the amino acids through the blood to the skeletal
muscle, which is governed by blood flow (Wolfe, 2004). NO vasodilates
blood vessels, thereby increasing blood flow. This increase when
combined with exercises means greater blood flow and greater amino acid
deliver and uptake in the working skeletal muscle. Exercise itself
results in an increase in NO production, and the increased blood flow
created by exercise is believed to be linked to the increase in protein
synthesis post workout (Douglas et al., 2004). Di-Arginine Orotate, AAKG,
Di-Arginine Malate, and Citrulline Malate all increase NO production and
blood flow to skeletal muscle.
Citrulline-Malate has been shown to increase the rate of oxidative ATP
production during exercise and the rate of phosphocreatine replenishment
post exercise (Bendahan, 2002). Increasing the rate of ATP production
during exercise would increase performance and energy.
Citrulline-Malate also has anti-fatigue properties due to its ability to
decrease ammonia levels and prevent against metabolic acidosis (Callis,
1991). Decreasing the sensation of fatigue would allow one to workout
harder and longer, and thereby burn more calories and lose more fat.
Both Citric Acid and Malic Acid (Malate) are intermediates in the Kreb’s
cycle, which produces ATP. Adding citric acid and malic acid to N20 aids
in ATP production.
H-Primer Blend
(Beta-Alanine, NAC)
Beta-Alanine - It has been shown that skeletal muscle carnosine levels
are correlated with performance during high-intensity exercise (Suzuki,
2002). Carnosine is an important metabolic buffer in skeletal muscle
(Suzuki, 2002), which means it helps maintain the acid-base balance in
the presence of high H+ concentrations. High levels of H+ during
exercise cause fatigue and decrease performance.
Beta-alanine is one of the two amino acids (histidine being the other)
that makes up the dipeptide carnosine (L-beta-alanyl-L-histidine).
Growing research shows Beta-alanine to be a very effective performance
enhancers and lean mass building supplement. Research shows:
Beta-Alanine availability is the limiting factor in muscle carnosine
synthesis (Hill, 2007).
Muscle carnosine levels were higher after 10 weeks of beta-alanine
supplementation than after 4 weeks, showing that beta-alanine’s effects
are best experienced over long term supplementation (Hill, 2007).
Beta-alanine supplementation increases total work done during aerobic
exercise (Hill, 2007).
Beta-alanine enhances endurance performance (Zoeller, 2006)
Beta-Alanine delays the onset of neuromuscular fatigue (Stout, 2006)
Adding beta-alanine to creatine supplementation leads to greater
increases in lean mass than creatine alone (Hoffman, 2006).
It is clear that current research shows Beta-Alanine to be an effective
performance enhancer and enhances lean mass gains when combined with
creatine.
NAC
N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is derived from the non-essential amino acid
cysteine. Because cysteine is very unstable, supplementing with NAC
allows one to get the benefits of cysteine. NAC is an antioxidant itself
(Aruoma, 1989) and is also used to synthesize the antioxidant
glutathoine. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and also regenerates
vitamin C and E (Bounous, 1999)
Since intense exercise depletes glutathione (Sen, 1999), supplementation
of NAC can is beneficial to increase glutathione levels. Oxidative
stress caused by free radicals (H+), causes fatigue and muscular
soreness. Supplementing with NAC will enhance athletic performance by
scavenging these free radicals (Lands, 1999).
BrainDrive Blend
(N-Acetyl Tyrosine, ALCAR, Caffeine)
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine - Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acids used to
make the catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and
epinephrine, thyroid hormones, and the skin pigment melanin. Stress,
such as exercise, depletes the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine in
the brain. Tyrosine supplementation has been shown
Decrease the negative effects of stress (Banderet, 1989)
Decrease fatigue and increase cognitive performance (Neri, 1995)
Decrease cardiovascular stress and enhance cognitive activity (Dollins,
1995)
ALCAR - The amino acid L-Carnitine plays a vital role in energy
metabolism, specifically the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria
where they can be oxidized. ALCAR is the acetylated form of carnitine
and is the most popular form of supplemental carnitine. ALCAR is a
potent antioxidant shown to have anti-aging, cardio-protective,
cognitive enhancing, and adaptogen properties. ALCAR increases exercise
performance by
Increasing fat oxidation (Hongu, 2003)
Decreasing muscle soreness (Giamberardino, 1996)
Decreasing lactic acid accumulation (Siliprandi, 1990).
Caffeine - Caffeine, a plant alkaloid belonging to the drug class
methylxanthines and is found in natural sources such as coffee beans,
tea leaves, cocoa beans, and other plants, is the world’s most widely
used stimulant. Caffeine is a Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulant
shown to delay fatigue and improve cognitive performance. Caffeine acts
as an adenosine receptor antagonist. Adenosine decreases the release of
stimulatory/excitatory neurotransmitters (i.e. norepinephrine [NE]).
Therefore, blocking the adenosine receptor allows a greater excitation
to occur by increasing NE’s ability to activate the adrenergic
receptors. Caffeine inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE), causing a build-up
of cAMP levels and greater effect of NE on fatty acid lipolysis. PDE
blunts lipolysis; therefore inhibiting PDE allows lipolysis to proceed
at an accelerated rate. The end result is there are more fatty acids
available for oxidation after consumption of caffeine, which is one of
the ways caffeine is believes to increase performance.
D,L-Phenylalanine - D,L-Phenylalanine is a 50/50 mix of D-Phenylalanine
and L-Phenylalanine. L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid while
D-Phenylalanine is a non-protein amino acid that is not used in protein
synthesis. Phenylalanine can be metabolized to PEA and is also a
precursor for norepinephrine and dopamine.
B-Vitamins
(50mg B6, 50mg B5, 100 mcg B12, 75mg Niacin)
The B vitamins are essential to whole body energy metabolism, they
included the B vitamins in N20 to ensure your body has what it needs to
perform at its full potential.
