Beta-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid that increases muscle power, strength and mass as well as increases anaerobic and aerobic endurance. It also delays muscle fatigue.

Betaine HCL, or HCL for short is a non-essential nutrient source of hydrochloric acid, a chemical found naturally in the stomach (stomach acid) that helps digest food by breaking up fats and proteins. Betaine Hcl is needed for adequate absorption of protein, calcium, vitamin B12 and iron.

Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is also known as Creatine AKG. It is formed by combining ordinary creatine molecule with an alpha-ketoglutarate molecule. Creatine bound to the AKG molecule is preferred over regular creatine because AKG is a Krebs cycle intermediate which means that it can easily enter muscle cells, bringing with it more creatine directly into targeted cells. Higher creatine concentrations in muscles provide greater strength and stamina during workouts. Since creatine-AKG uses AKG as a transporter, the problem of transporter downgrade is also eliminated. Bodybuilders and athletes use creatine primarily for increasing stamina but some research also associates higher creatine levels with increased muscle gains.

Creatine Ethyl Ester is an organic compound formed by the reaction of alcohols and carboxylic acid. The standard creatine monohydrate is effective in increasing the muscle strength, lean muscle and endurance. Creatine ethyl ester is absorbed by the ability of the cells as the body does not absorb it properly. This is the reason that creatine is taken in large dosages. Creatine ethyl ester is a monohydrate associated with ester. This ester has the significance as it is found in the animals fat tissue. Creatine supplements are blended with protein powder. However, if it is taken for a longer period, the body stops producing it naturally and completely depends on the supplement. The creatine monohydrate shows no reports having side effects. Women also take creatine, but consulting the doctor is recommended. Ethyl ester decreases the amount of retained water as it is made with typical fatty acids that occur naturally. Hence, less creatine is stored as water weight out of the nutrient pocket.

Di-Creatine Orotate is the combination of ordinary creatine with Orotic Acid. It is used as a performance enhancement supplement by athletes and body builders to increase muscle gains, muscle strength and stamina. It is believed to offer greater ATP formation and absorption. Di-Creatine oratate increases ATP formation by providing phosphoribosylpyrophosphate, Uridine Monophosphate and by elevation of intracellular glycogen stores, all of these contribute to ATP formation. In experiment on rats it induced increase of very-low-density-lipoproteins, VLDL (fats) in the rats, however Manufacturers claim that the supplement is completely safe for human as the increase in VLDL (fats) is very low.

Glycerol Monostearate also referred to as GMS. It is that fat that is formed when glycerol is esterified with stearic acid. It occurs in the body naturally as a by-product of fats and it can also be found in certain fatty foods. Glycerol Monostearate increases the endurance by retaining water in the body. They glycerol helps lower the body temperature and delay fatigue while increasing the performance. It also helps in reducing the acidity that forms in the muscle. It also improves the absorption of other supplements by helping in the delivery the nutrients in the system. It is also ideal, in losing weight because it enhances the metabolism.

Glycocyamine was sought after because as much as a quarter of the world’s population is unable to supplement creatine, more accurately, the supplementation of regular creatine monohydrate had no effect whatsoever. Glycocyamine is a creatine metabolite, missing just a methyl group. Glycocyamine is guanidinoacetic acid and creatine is methylguanidinoacetic acid. Interestingly enough, glycocyamine is processed by the liver and metabolized into creatine, which allowed the rest of the world to supplement creatine as well. Unfortunately the supplementation of glycocyamine also meant that many methyl groups otherwise needed by the body would be now used up by the synthesis of creatine. For that reason it is generally recommended to supplement glycocyamine together with betaine, in order to provide enough methyl groups for all purposes. The commonly suggested ration is four parts betaine, one part glycocyamine, hence a four to one ratio.

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is the only antioxidant that is soluble in both fat and water, which means it can access all parts of the cell. This gives it the ability to trap free radicals. It is one of the few substances that can cross the blood/brain barrier to enter the brain and go directly where it is needed most. Alpha Lipoic Acid supplementation causes increased levels of glutathione, which assists the body in disposing of toxins. This is vital because glutathione protects the brain from free radical damage. Decreased glutathione levels in the brain are liked with brain disorders like stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. It also speeds up removal of glucose from the blood. Recent studies suggest that R-Alpha Lipoic Acid boosts antioxidant defenses in HIV-positive people.
