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 VasoXplode 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 to:
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 VasoXplode ensure your body has what it needs
to perform at its full potential.
