New
And Improved Betagen Now Helps Even More!
Betagen
HP is the first to combine university-tested EAS HMB and Phosphagen
brand creatine monohydrate along with the amino acids taurine and
glutamine - the two most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue. This
formula is new and improved with the addition of more glutamine, more
taurine, plus the antioxidants vitamin C and E, and a full array of
B-vitamins.
This
Product Was Designed To:
*
Increase lean muscle mass and strength
* Supress muscle protein breakdown following exercise
* Enhance muscle energetics and recuperation
What
is different about Betagen HP from the original Betagen?
Several additions have been made to Betagen to enhance the overall
effectiveness of the product. These improvements include:
More
glutamine (2g)-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle
tissue, and among other functions, is responsible for recovery and
repair of muscle tissue1. Research has found evidence that glutamine
is important for the maintenance of skeletal muscle protein levels.
For individuals engaged in intense exercise, glutamine may exert a
beneficial effect on immune system strength, cell volumization, and
protein synthesis.
More
taurine (500mg)-Early research on the amino acid taurine showed
that it possesses insulin-mimicking characteristics that may be valuable
for nutrient transport. Current investigation of taurine demonstrates
its involvement in the control of muscular contraction. Significant
losses in taurine may decrease muscle contractility, and consequently,
exercise performance. By offsetting taurine loss, the benefits of
high intensity exercise including strength and lean mass gains may
be increased.
Vitamins
C and E-Whether you lift weights or run, the body produces free radicals.
The body's internal antioxidant defense systems can handle the challenge
of dealing with free radicals at low levels of exercise intensity,
however elevated intensity levels may require supplemental defense.
The addition of vitamins C and E may support the overall recovery
process, as they provide immune system support and antioxidant protection
from free radicals. These powerful antioxidant vitamins may help hard-training
athletes avoid the negative consequences of overtraining. Research
on the effects of vitamin C on exercise performance indicates that
ascorbic acid may prevent the formation of exercise-induced free radicals.
In a study investigating the effects of vitamin E on recreationally
weight trained subjects, it was determined that a decrease in muscle
membrane disruption and oxidative stress was evident. What may be
even more interesting about the supplementation of these two vitamins
is that vitamin C is thought to regenerate vitamin E7, making it advantageous
to use both in conjunction to ensure optimal availability in offsetting
free-radical damage. This antioxidant combination in BetaGen HP may
help individuals recover faster from intense workouts by diminishing
the harmful effects of free radical production.
B-vitamin
complex-The B-vitamin complex serves a wide variety of functions in
the body, including growth and repair of body tissues, healthy cell
development, nervous system function, and metabolism of fats, carbohydrates,
and proteins. In particular, vitamins B6, B12, and Folic acid are
important for the synthesis of hormones and red blood cell production.
Paying major attention to vitamin and mineral intake, specifically
B vitamins, zinc and chromium, is required to optimize carbohydrate
metabolism, the ultimate limiting factor for sport performance. Ensuring
that sufficient levels of the B-complex are available in the body
may optimize the function of the nervous system and metabolically
active tissues (muscle) to achieve maximal athletic performance.
Directions:
Add 2 scoops or 1 tablespoon to 4 oz of water or juice, and stir/mix
until dissolved. Use 3 servings daily. Do not exceed recommended servings.
