CarbTech

• Creatine Monohydrate 2000mg
• Creatine Gluconate 2000mg
• Magnesium Creatine Chelate 1000mg

Creatine is one of the most clinically validated supplements with over 200 studies to date. The primary benefit of creatine is an improvement in strength and power output during exercise. When used in conjunction with resistance exercise, it helps to increase lean mass. It has also been shown to increase anaerobic exercise capacity.

Each serving of CarbTech contains 5,000mg of a synergistic creatine blend.

1. Creatine monohydrate is the most common type of creatine
   on the market. It is also the form that has been most
   scientifically researched and tested.
2. Creatine magnesium chelate is produced by binding
   magnesium to the creatine molecule. A study from 2003
   suggests that creatine magnesium chelate could improve
   performance without the added water weight that
   creatine usually brings [2].
3. Creatine gluconate gluconate is produced by binding
   gluconic acid to the creatine molecule. Creatine
   gluconates is more soluble than regular creatine
   monohydrate thanks to the higher solubility of gluconic
   acid.

• Beta Alanine 2,000 mg
• Sodium Bicarbonate 500 mg

During short term (anaerobic) exercise, ATP and creatine phosphate are used up within the first 7 seconds of training. This signals the metabolism of glycogen to produce energy for your body. This process is known as glycolysis. Lactic acid is a biproduct of glycolysis created by the breaking down of pyruvate.

Taurine is the most abundant amino acid in type 2 muscle fiber and acts similarly to creatine in that it expands muscle cells and helps increase cell volume. A 2003 study published by Japanese researchers examined men who were told to perform bicycle exercises until they were exhausted. After taking taurine supplements for seven days, the men showed significant increases in VO2max and time until exhaustion sets in [4].

When beta-alanine is ingested, it turns into the molecule carnosine, which acts as an acid buffer in the body. Increased stores of carnosine offer protection from exercise-induced lactic acid production. In a 4-week study with 20 elite combat soldiers, beta-alanine improved jumping power, shooting speed, and marksmanship [5].

Sodium bicarbonate is a compound that naturally occurs in our blood. Sodium bicarbonate has as a buffer effect and helps neutralise the acid released during exercise.

Minerals help your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. The body uses minerals to perform many different functions — from maintaining bone health to transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are even used to make hormones or maintain a normal heartbeat.

Electrolytes provide critical nutrients for energy production, muscle function and fluid balance. Any loss of body fluids, for example perspiration, increases the need for electrolytes.
