Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)

Information

Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC ALCAR) is an acetylated form of active vitamin-carnitine. It shows the metabolic effects, antioxidant and neuroprotective. The high potential neuroprotective antioxidant and is used in the treatment of neurological conditions of deep stress and depression. It affects insulin sensitivity of tissues and intensifies a long chain fatty acids action in the production and expenditure of energy, thereby increasing the metabolic effects, which improve the aesthetics and body composition. ALC used in medicine for the prophylaxis and treatment of male infertility. ALC supplementation is recommended for people who are physically active and mentally burdened with deep stress and relieve depression. Reduces fatigue and its perceptibility. Supports the processes of fat reduction.
Dosage: usually used in supplementation - 500-1000 mg / day in 1-3 doses before exercising.

Alpha-GPC

Information

Alpha GPC (L-Alpha Glucerylphosphorylcholine, alphaglycerylphosphorylcholine) occurs naturally in the brain and milk. It is a chemical compound (a derivative of choline and its provider in the body) providing a precursor for the synthesis of acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter. Probably it has an impact on the secretion of the growth hormone that allows the intensification of tissue regeneration and it is improving the general condition and forming of proper body building.
The medicine uses it in the neurological treatments (stress, depression). In the sports supplementation is rarely used. It is a part of the supplements supporting a night renewal process.

Dimethylethanolamine (DMAE)

Information

Dimethylethanolamine (DMAE) is an organic chemical compound, which in certain amounts is also present in the brain.

DMAE stimulates the secretion of acetylcholine - one of the most important neurotransmitters of the central nervous system. It is believed that it is a more effective acetylcholine precursor than choline. This is related to the fact that DMAE provided from outside effectively crosses blood-brain barrier.

As a precursor of acetylcholine and the compound counteracting the aggregation of the so-called “age pigment” (related to the drop of cognitive functions), this compound increases the ability to concentrate, improves psychomotor efficiency and positively influences well-being.

It is an ingredient of dietary supplement with nootropic effect. By applying DMAE, we may obtain the benefits in the form of better focus and alertness, mood improvement and effective memorization. As a dietary supplement, it is recommended to intellectually active people, those who lead an active lifestyle or are prone to frequent or strong stress.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid)

Information

Vitamin B5 (calcium pantothenate, pantothenic acid, pantotenol) is part of a complex of B vitamins affects the development of the central nervous system, is the building substance of cells. In the body synthesized by the intestinal bacteria. It occurs in animal products (meat, kidneys, liver) and plants (wheat germ, wheat bran, nuts, grains, green vegetables). Prevents fatigue and excessive stress, accelerates the healing of cuts and wounds, acts as a stimulant for the side effects of the use of antibiotics. Deficiency causes skin changes, and difficulty in blood clotting.

Vinpocetine

Information

Vinpocetine - ethyl apovincaminate - it is an alkaloid derived from eburnamenine of plant origin (Vinca), improving blood supply to tissues (mainly nervous), improves insulin metabolism and increases the level of the basic intracellular energy carrier (adenosine triphosphate - ATP). A positive impact on the exercise capacity during workout and improves concentration. Enhanced activity was reported in interaction with caffeine, hesperidin, vinburmine and vincamine. In the supplementation it is a component of pre-workout supplements and creatine stacks, available in residual quantities at www.muscle-zone.pl, as a result of the provisions of WADA and the Polish regulations it is to be withdrawn from dietary supplements as an illegal substance.
Dosage: the lack of defined standards. Customarily 5 - 15 mg / 24h

Huperzine A

Information

Huperzine A - an alkaloid of plant origin having the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, it is a negative catalyst for the degradation of acetylcholine, that improves nerve conduction and having a significant impact on the concentration, cognition and memory. It helps mitigate the effects of oxidative stress, and prevents the depressions, has neuroprotective actions improving well-being. In the sports supplementation it is recommended at pre-workout, pre-effort and during workouts in order to improve concentration, as an component of advanced creatine stack, no-boosters as well as herbal remedies that improve mood.
