L-Arginine is an amino acid (building block of protein) that also provides the nitrogen used to make nitric oxide (NO), once known as endothelial-derived relaxing factor. NO acts on the smooth muscle of the small blood vessels (e.g., in the capillary beds of skeletal muscle) to cause vasodilation and increase blood flow to tissue. (Nitroglycerin, a common treatment for poor coronary artery blood flow, works by producing NO.) Oral arginine (e.g, 5g / day) normalizes NO levels in those with low NO production(1) and may therefore enhance blood flow during and after exercise. Additionally, by impr

Ascorbic Acid, aka Vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin that must be obtained in the diet by humans. Absence of this vitamin (as seen in ocean-crossing sailors living without fresh produce for several months) brings about scurvy (general weakness, joint pain, tendency to bleed, etc.). These symptoms appear because Vitamin C is a necessary component for collagen formation, one of the primary connective tissue fibers. (Connective tissue forms the fascia that gives muscle shape and strength, tendons, ligaments, bone and cartilage.) Vitamin C is therefore essential for tissue healing, such as fro

The "branched chain" amino acids (BCAA's), leucine, isoleucine and valine are so called because the side chains of these amino acids (the part of the molecule that differentiates the amino acids) are made up of non-linear (branching) carbon chains. The BCAA's are essential amino acids, meaning that they must be consumed in the diet (rather than manufactured in the body) and constitute a more than one third of the amino acid composition of skeletal muscle(1). During high intensity exercise, the BCAA's are oxidized for use as fuel and to maintain oxidative metabolite concentration(2). Supplement

BCAA 2:1:1 Peptides are made by a proprietary process that binds free form branched chain amino acids (BCAA) to BCAA peptides isolated from fresh sweet whey using advanced fractionation and separation technologies. This unique technology results in 50% BCAA content in 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine.DirectionsAs a dietary supplement, mix 1-2 servings of material with approximately 12-16 floz of your favorite beverage. Stir, and enjoy!IngredientsBCAA Peptides (Milk).Additional Flavoring Ingredients (if selected):Premium Flavoring:Flavoring (Natural and Artificial Flavoring and Col

Creatine (CR) is a naturally occurring substance, produced in our bodies in the liver from the amino acids L-Arginine, L-Glycine and L-Methionine(1). Daily turnover of creatine occurs at a rate of ~2g/day via non-enzymatic, irreversible degradation of creatine and creatine phosphate to creatinine(2). Creatinine freely diffuses out of the cell and is easily filtered by the healthy kidney(3). This loss is normally replaced by endogenous CR synthesis, as well as exogenous (dietary) sources of creatine such as meat(4). However, vegetarians typically have lower levels of creatine in serum and muscl
