Athletic performance
(pre-activity prep)
Taurine and carnitine supplementation improve the time to exhaustion endurance exercise performance and related human fatigue factors.
IV taurine may be effective upon reducing neuromuscular fatigue and blood lactate accumulation after performing maximal athletic activity.
Pre-exercise carnitine supplementation delayed blood lactate formation and, as a result, fatigue occurred later.
IV taurine may be effective upon reducing neuromuscular fatigue and blood lactate accumulation after performing maximal athletic activity.
L-arginine is converted into nitric oxide which relaxes blood vessels which is vital for healthy blood flow to the heart and organs throughout the body.
L-ornithine is involved in the body’s urea cycle, which makes it possible to eliminate excess nitrogen (ammonia) from the body.
L-citrulline boosts the production of nitric oxide in the body which acts to relax the arteries for improved blood flow throughout the body.
Lysine is involved with collagen production, tissue growth, recovery and rebuilding of muscle.
How we can help
Provide nutrients to increase nitric oxide production and blood flow to muscles
Provide prophylactic hydration to prevent severe fluid loss and electrolyte imbalance after athletic activity
