Let’s take a more in depth look at VasoCHARGE’s ingredients.
CreaSci™ 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.
VasoRush™ 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 VasoCHARGE 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, the included B
vitamins in VasoCHARGE ensure your body has what it needs to perform at its full
potential.
Wrap-Up
VasoCHARGE is formulated to allow you to increase the intensity of your workouts
while delaying fatigue, which results in greater progress being made. VasoCHARGE
increases energy production and power output, decreases H+ accumulation and
fatigue, and increases blood flow and the deliver of amino acids to skeletal
muscle, making it an all-in-one pre-workout powerhouse.
