It increases growth hormone output
It is a precursor to nitric oxide. It aids in vasodilation, supporting muscle growth and promoting protein synthesis

SIP THROUGHOUT WORKOUT

2) “Xtreme Formulations ICE, 2 Lbs” (Fruit Punch Flavor. NOT ARTIC LEMON FREEZE)
Description:
Stimulates protein synthesis within the muscles to create an anabolic environment.
Speeds recovery by reducing soreness following workouts

POST WORKOUT:

1) “GENR8 Vitargo S2”
Description:
Simple sugars or maltodextrin (in liquid forms) are usually recommended as the best post-workout recovery drink in between lifting and liquid protein consumption. It is pertinent to replenish glycogen stores as quickly as possible following workouts.
Vitargo beats these ‘old-school’ methods because it gets though the stomach and into the bloodstream twice as fast as these conventional carbohydrates. It also digests twice as fast as conventional carbohydrates. This allows muscle and liver glycogen to be replenished twice as fast!
Vitargo does NOT cause the bloating that conventional post-workout carbohydrates do!

2) “CytoSport EvoPro, 2.25 Lbs.” (Chocolate or Vanilla flavored)
Description:
I like this protein for 2 reasons: It contains L-Glutamine Peptides (which speed up muscle recovery) AND it is one of the tastiest protein powders out there. I have all of my girlfriends hooked on it, even the friends that don’t lift weights ☺

3) “Universal Creatine Chews, 144 Chews” (Grape Flavored)
Description:
Quick and intense bursts of energy via muscular contraction rely on the quick energy provided by the breakdown of ATP into ADP.
Creatine combines with ADP, converts ADP back into ATP, and therefore, increases the availability of ATP.
More ATP=More energy!
Creatine also increases the amount of water within the muscle bellies. This leads to increased muscle volume and size.

2) “NOW L-Ornithine, 500mg/120 Capsules”

L-Ornithine is a non-essential free-form amino acid that synthesizes L-arginine and other amino acids (L-Arginine was recommended earlier).
Supports immune system function, heals wounds faster, repairs the liver, rejuvenates the thymus gland/heart/skin/ and other tissues.
Accelerates the healing process after muscle or bone trauma
Increases the body’s production of human growth hormone. Growth hormone is secreted most during sleep, hence this product’s use before bedtime. We want high HGH because of its fat-burning and anti-aging properties
