R1 PERFORMANCE BLEND

3.5g L-Leucine (Fermented):

Leucine an essential amino acid. Of all the Branched Chain Amino Acids Leucine is the most abundant and most important. Research has shown that Leucine’s major role is as a protein synthesis regulator and if you add Leucine to a high protein meal you can increase protein synthesis by up to 40%. L-Leucine can be used in conjunction with meals that are already high in protein to help accelerate the recovery of muscles. Many athletes add extra Leucine to their diet to help reduce the breakdown of muscles during training and to reduce the soreness of muscles after training.

2.5g L-Glutamine (Fermented):

L-Glutamine accelerates muscle growth and aids in recovery by prevent DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) .Glutamine is also an energy source for intestinal and immune cells. It also helps maintain the barrier between the intestines and the rest of your body and aids with proper growth of intestinal cells.

Valine promotes optimal nitrogen balance in the body which supports protein synthesis (Protein absorption) and muscle hypertrophy (muscle gain). Valine is also an incredibly efficient source of energy for your muscle tissue and this is why it’s considered one of the best workout support supplements to take during exercise

1.75g L-Isoleucine (Fermented):

Isolecuine is essential for a number of fundamental processes in the body and may enhance insulin sensitivity in the body thereby increasing the efficacy of essential and non-essential amino acid absorption.

It is also incredibly beneficial for protecting muscle tissue (particularly whilst dieting or performing high volume style training) and for repairing lean tissue which is subjected to microdamage from weight training.Isoleucine is a separate amino acid to leucine and has a different chemical structure. The two are derived from different sources and need different enzymes to be synthesised by the body. Isoleucine is manufactured by plants and some microorganisms and needs the metabolic compounds pyruvic acid and alpha-ketoglutaric acid to be created. Both of these compounds promote better aerobic respiration in the body’s cells.

1.5g Citrulline Malate (1:1): Increases Nitric Oxide levels which may lead to increased strength and endurance, through the increase in blood flow, glucose uptake and oxygen delivery to the muscles.It may also produce positive effects on muscle by stimulating protein synthesis and decreasing amino acid breakdown.

500mg Taurine: Assists the transport of electrolytes into the muscle cell, which must occur for hydration to take place. It may also assist muscular uptake of amino acids and creatine, making it a particularly valuable performance booster.

500mg Raw Coconut Water Powder: Rich in the naturally occurring electrolyte potassium. Potassium is essential for healthy muscle contractions.

ELECTROLYTE BLEND
240mg Chloride: Chloride is an ion which frequently bonds with sodium or potassium. People take chloride supplements when they want to increase their energy or regulate the acids in the body.

180mg Sodium: Sodium can help regulate muscle contraction, nerve function and blood volume. It also regulates fluid levels in your body. “Low sodium levels can cause dehydration, muscles cramps or even organ failure

70mg Potassium: When you sweat, you lose several electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Potassium is also essential to the process of breaking down glycogen in the muscle cells, which helps fuel these cells as they contract repeatedly during endurance exercise. As glycogen is broken down, the muscle cells are depleted of potassium as it flows into the bloodstream before leaving the body through urination or sweat.

20mg Calcium: Taking calcium before exercise may help keep blood levels more stable during exercise and regulate blood glucose. Calcium also helps strengthen bone density.
