Professional Supplements- Pure Karbolyn
The benefits:
• Each gram of glycogen forced into the muscle pulls in 4 grams of water, keeping muscles hydrated and full
• High molecular weight, relatively complex carbohydrate that passes through the stomach and is immediately absorbed in the small intestine to be shuttled straight to the muscles glycogen stores
• Increases endurance and recovery by supplying the muscle with the glycogen it needs for energy
• Acts as a “pump”, literally forcing other nutrients into the muscle for faster absorption, thereby drastically increasing the recovery rate of the muscle tissue
• Will not cause bloating or cramping like other carbohydrates such as maltodextrin, dextrose, pasta, rice, etc…
• This is one of the few products on the market today that you or your clients will feel working in your body with the very first serving
Understanding Carbohydrate Supplementation: Here is the science as to how and why using Karbolyn Pre and Post workout is so effective:
Of the three classes of nutrients (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates), carbohydrates are the most active source of fuel during exercise. While blood glucose can be utilized immediately for energy, it may also be converted to glycogen for later use. Glycogen, which is stored mainly in the muscles and liver, represents the bodys principle energy reservoir during anaerobic and aerobic exercise. The level of stored glycogen will vary from person to person, but people typically store 300 to 400 grams of glycogen in our muscles, and another 80 to 100 grams in the liver. This may be considerably higher in athletic individuals with significant muscle mass and training. Glycogen stores are usually sufficient to provide energy for 90 to 180 minutes of moderate intensity exercise; however in high intensity exercise they may be depleted in as little as 30 minutes. This will result in a significant decrease in performance, and will cause the body to rely on less efficient sources of fuel.
The key here is to use the best sources of carbohydrates based on which ones have a lower “GI (glycemic index) rating”. So slower digesting carbohydrates would be most beneficial for someone looking to control weight gain, and protect overall health in general. To put it simple, fast digesting carbohydrates will be the highest on the glycemic index and will cause the fastest increase in blood sugar levels, and also tend to increase the likelihood of body fat retention.
Insulin sensitivity, amino acid transport, and protein synthesis potential in the muscles are intensified during the post-exercise recovery period. Studies show that a combination of protein and carbohydrates during this period maximizes protein synthesis rates and the retention of glycogen, and minimizes protein catabolism.
Essential Amino Acids-(meaning: Amino Acids the body cannot synthesize, and can only get them from food or supplements)
Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Valine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan
Non-Essential Amino Acids
Alanine, Arginine, Asparagine, Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glutamine, Glycine, Proline, Serine, Tyrosine
Branched Chain Amino Acids
Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine are classified separately from other essential amino acids. These Amino’s are highly prominent in muscle tissue, and account for 14 to 18% of its amino acid makeup.
Arginine
Arginine helps the body increase growth hormone levels and nitric oxide production, supporting gains in muscle mass, strength, and overall performance.
Beta-Alanine
Beta-Alanine increases tissue carnosine levels, serves as a pH buffer, thereby enhancing muscle endurance, muscle mass, and strength.
Glutamine
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the extra-cellular pool in the body. This amino acid is active beyond its role as a component of tissue proteins, and is involved in a variety of metabolic functions including supporting the immune system, gastrointestinal integrity, insulin secretion, neurological activity, and muscle protein synthesis.
These are the top rated anabolic supplements, most likely to help increase muscle size and strength when taken in conjunction with intense resistance training:
Supplement Daily Intake
Arginine 3-9 grams
Beta-Alanine 3-6 grams
Branched Chain Amino’s 5-20 grams
Creatine 3-5 grams
Glutamine 10-30 grams
Protein 1.5-2 grams per pound of lean body weight
