Dicreatine Malate
Dicreatine Malate is creatine molecularly bound to malic acid resulting in an extremely water soluble form of creatine. 1 The more water-soluble the creatine the greater the absorption and bioavailability. The greater the absorption the lower the required dose and enhanced function. Creatine (N-Methyl-N-guanylglycine) is a nitrogenous organic acid that is found in muscle and nerve tissue. The body forms creatine from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine. Creatine is stored as creatine phosphate (phosphocreatine) in the muscle cells. Phosphocreatine donates its phosphate to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and thus increases the rate of ATP regeneration, which promotes enhanced strength and endurance. Creatine is also thought to promote muscle mass via an increased intracellular concentration of water, which is thought to activate protein synthesis and thus contribute to increased strength, endurance, recovery, and fat free mass. 2,3
Glycocyamine / Betaine
Glycocyamine (guanidinoacetic acid) is an analog of the amino acid glycine and a direct precursor in the formation of creatine in the liver. 4 Betaine or Trimethylglycine is a choline derivative that donates its methyl groups in various biochemical reactions in the body. When both compounds are ingested simultaneously betaine acts as methylating agent thus allowing glycocyamine to form natural creatine. Research has shown that oral human ingestion of these two compounds is an effective method to increase the biosynthesis of creatine. 4 The supplementation of a highly water soluble form of creatine such as Dicreatine Malate coupled with the ingestion of potent creatine precursor like Glycocyamine enables the body to increase plasma creatine via two separate pathways. This dual pathway may enhance the body's ability to store creatine since natural creatine production is not being down regulated, which can occur when creatine is ingested without Glycocyamine. Another method to increase creatine uptake via enhanced creatine transport is to combine it with either insulin releasing or mimicking compounds such as Guanidinopropionic acid, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Taurine
3-Guanidinopropionic acid
Guanidinopropionic acid (N-(aminoiminomethyl)-beta-alanine) is an aminoguanidine analog that enhances insulin sensitivity and may decrease body fat stores. 5 Guanidinopropionic acid causes the body to produce less insulin due to enhanced insulin function. This may cause a decrease in body fat since less insulin is being produced. Guanidinopropionic acid enhances insulin function and therefore may also be combined with other insulin mimicking agents in order to enhance their function as well.
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is the naturally occurring active form of Alpha Lipoic Acid resulting in greater physiological actions. 6 Synthetic Alpha Lipoic Acid consists of a racemic mixture of R+ and primarily of S- form alpha lipoic acid, which is thought to limit overall effectiveness since the S- form is poorly metabolized. Pure R- alpha lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that mimics the actions of insulin and promotes insulin sensitivity.
Taurine
Taurine acts as a cell volumizer, insulin sensitizer, and nitric oxide potentiator. 7,8 Taurine appears to have the ability to increase insulin sensitivity and thus exerts a synergistic effect with Guanidinopropionic acid and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid in order to enhance creatine transport into the muscle cell. All of the previous mentioned nutraceuticals are designed to harness the ergogenic and anabolic benefits of creatine and the powerful hormone insulin. Taurine also possess the ability to release nitric oxide, which causes increased blood flow to the muscle cells resulting in greater amino acid and glucose uptake, enhanced muscle recovery, increased protein synthesis, and immense pumps.
L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (A-AKG)
L-Arginine is a naturally occurring basic amino acid found in most dietary proteins. It is involved in several biochemical reactions in the body. One of the most well researched reactions is the formation of nitric oxide. L-Arginine is a direct precursor to nitric oxide production, which also results in the formation of the amino acid L-Citrulline. 9 Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is L-Arginine molecularly bound to the Kreb's cycle intermediate Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid. Oral ingestion of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate results in enhanced delivery of L-Arginine and thus a superior nitric oxide release. L-Arginine and Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid also reduce the negative by-products of exercise such as ammonia and lactic acid. 10
Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)
Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) is a plant that grows wild in Asia. Jiaogulan is sometimes called "Southern Ginseng", since it grows in south central China and because of its similarity to ginseng in chemical composition and function. Gynostemma pentaphyllum contains various saponins such as gypenoside alkaloids, which have been shown to induce nitric oxide release. 11 These saponin alkaloids also possess strong antioxidant properties that have been shown to increase cardiac output, increases oxygen utilization, and improve recovery from exercise. 12,13
N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is the most abundant free form amino acid in the blood and in muscle tissue. The supplementation of L-Glutamine can cause an anti-catabolic effect and contribute to cellular volumization. Intense training causes muscle cell glutamine levels to decrease thus allowing for muscle or protein breakdown. The ingestion L-Glutamine causes an anti-catabolic effect by keeping these levels elevated thus preserving muscle mass and improving nitrogen balance. L-Glutamine also contributes to cellular volumization, which may activate protein synthesis. N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine is more stable and readily absorbed form of L-Glutamine that increases plasma levels greater than free form L-Glutamine. 14
Glucuronolactone
Glucuronolactone (D-Glucurono-g-lactone) is a metabolite formed from glucose. Glucuronic acid is the immediate precursor and occurs in plants and is also a constituent of fibrous and connective tissues in animals. The available data from humans indicate that when glucuronolactone is administered orally it is rapidly absorbed, metabolized and excreted. Glucuronolactone is thought to positively affect cognitive performance and endurance. 15
