RECOMMENDED
FOR:
- Promoting muscle development.
- Enhancing stamina and endurance.
- Helping maintain a positive physical athletic image.
- Improving vitality.
- To help increase proteins synthesis for those undergoing physical
therapy or with degenerative muscle disorders.
- For optimal results, this formula should be taken with Super Spots
Creatine.
- Desiccant pads are included in Super-Sports Amino Acid Formula, as
well as all of Montiff's highest quality nutraceuticals, to insure
optimal freshness.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Take 2 to 6 capsules-(depending upon bodyweight),
15 - 20 minutes before workout. Vitamins & minerals should be taken
within 2 hours of taking free-form amino acids because while proteins
are made of amino acids, protein synthesis cannot take place without B
vitamins & minerals. However because some people – (mostly women), get
stomach upset from taking B vitamins on an empty stomach it is O.K. to
take the B vitamins with a meal either before or after the workout.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFICIAL
PROPERTIES OF THE INGREDIENTS OF SUPER-SPORTS FORMULA?
- BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (L-LEUCINE, L-ISOLEUCINE AND L-VALINE)
- {See
Branch-Chain
information Page},
are included in the proper balance. These amino acids increase protein
synthesis and anabolic hormones, while decreasing the amount of
protein catabolism. They may also increase energy and aid in repair
and recovery, which is important to the athlete during regular
physical training.
- GLUTAMINE, the most abundant amino acid found in muscle tissue,
increases anabolic activity, as well as having beneficial antioxidant
and hepatoprotective properties. It helps support muscle hypertrophy,
effects growth hormone and testosterone levels, and is important for
neurological and gastro-intestinal health.
- CARNITINE (Fumarate) is an essential for the metabolism of fats,
and is an energy source. It may also have a hypertrophic effect on
skeletal muscle and is important for myocardial health. Fumarate (fumaric
acid) aids in the citric acid cycle.
- ARGININE (HCL) is important for the athlete in producing GH
secretion, and stimulates insulin, leading to anabolic and
anticatabolic effects on skeletal muscle. It helps increase lean body
mass and strength and has an important role in nitric oxide
production, which is important in cardio-vascular health and in
preventing hypertension.
- TAURINE is the second most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue
after glutamine, and it influences the anabolic process through the
control of the ionic flux and effects on osmoregulation. It has many
other important roles in the body including antioxidant properties,
balances and stabilizes minerals, and has a protective effect on
joints.
- TYROSINE is important for proper chemical balance of the brain,
and depletions have been associated with depression and memory
deficiencies. It is essential for production of catecholamine
neurotransmitters, producing norepinephrine leading to adrenaline
production. It is the precursor for the hormone thyroxine from the
thyroid gland, and growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary.
- GLYCINE is a glycogenic amino acid, and is an important
constituent of collagen, increases GH, and is necessary for
neurological health.
- METHIONINE has many functions in the body, including increasing
protein synthesis and is essential in the formation of creatine.
- CREATINE PHOSPHATE is the major phosphorylated compound in muscle
tissue, and is important for increasing lean body mass, strength and
stamina.
- ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is an important antioxidant combating "free
radicals" that occur with physical exertion, and protects the liver
against toxins. CO-ENZYME Q-10 is also an antioxidant and is important
for cardio-vascular health.
- ORNITHINE-a-KETOGLUTARATE is a powerful compound and is the
precursor to Arginine, Glutamine, Proline and Alpha-Ketoisocaporate,
as well as making the branched-chain amino acids. It has an effect on
insulin and GH, and is important for protein synthesis.
- LYSINE is an essential amino acid and it has an inhibitory effect
on viruses, such as the herpes virus. Low levels can slow protein
synthesis and effect muscle and connective tissue health. It is
important to be in the proper balance with Arginine.
- THREONINE is generally low in vegetarian diets, and is lacking in
other diets as well. Low levels may interfere with proper protein
synthesis.
- HISTIDINE converts to histamine and is a powerful vessel dilator.
It has a direct effect on the central nervous system.
- ASPARTIC ACID has affect on reducing toxic ammonia levels in the
urea cycle, which becomes high during intense physical exertion that
athletes undergo during regular training. This eliminates the fatigue
caused by ammonia, allowing for increased stamina.
- L-ALANYL-L-GLUTAMINE is a unique di-peptide, which quickly breaks
down and produces energy, as well as helping to support muscle
hypertrophy.
If you are supplementing with an amino acid formula, such as
Branched-Chain Amino Acids, Gluca-Balance, Neuro-Balance, or Super
Sports, it is important to also take Vita-Minz-Plus, a
multi-vitamin-mineral, in order to maintain proper metabolic balance.
