What is Nitro Loading?
New developments in the oral administration of
Creatine monohydrate are going to have a major impact on the future
of sports supplementation. MHP's staff of biochemists along with
leading scientists in pharmaceutical time-release delivery have
created a compound that enhances the delivery of Creatine to skeletal
muscle leading to increased muscle size and strength.
This revolutionary compound, TRAC™, increases
the production of Nitric-Oxide (NO) in the body. Research shows
that Nitric Oxide stimulates insulin output and sensitivity without
the addition of carbohydrates. This new approach to mediate insulin
is called "Nitro-Loading".
TRAC™ is the first "Nitro-Loading"
Creatine product ever developed. TRAC™ uses a patent pending
micro-encapsulation time-release system, TRT™, to deliver
its two primary substrate compounds Arginine and Creatine. TRAC's™
proprietary delivery system increases the bioavailability of Arginine
and Creatine releasing them, as they are needed.
By prolonging the delivery and enhancing the bioavailability
of these compounds, not only are athletes who perform short explosive
tasks like bodybuilders, power lifters and sprinters going to benefit,
but for the first time, endurance athletes are also going to benefit
from creatines performance enhancing properties. TRAC™ is
the first and only product on the market with the exclusive TRT™
Nitro-Loading transport. We believe this may be the biggest breakthrough
in sports supplements to date. These developments are going to render
all other current Creatine products obsolete.
How Time Released Nitro Loading works...
In order to fully understand how Nitro-Loading
works and why it is far superior to any other form of loading we
must examine how oral immediate release Creatine Monohydrate and
other loading administration is utilized by the body.
Creatine Monohydrate is transported by the blood
and taken up by muscle cells where it is converted into Creatine
phosphate. The enzyme responsible for this conversion is Creatine
kinase. As Creatine cycles back and forth between Creatine and Creatine
phosphate, it produces energy to the muscle cell but only briefly.
This immediate burst of energy has an extremely
short half-life of about 15 seconds. Dietary supplementation with
large amounts of Creatine, or Creatine loading, has been one way
of attempting to overcome the quick exhaustion of Creatine stores
when there is intense and prolonged activation of muscles during
athletic activity or weight training.
It is believe that by loading the muscles with
extra Creatine, more Creatine would be available for energy production
by the muscles after the initial exhaustion of Creatine reserves.
The common prescribed dose during the loading phase is 5 grams four
times a day (20 grams total) for 4 days followed by a 5-gram maintenance
dose for eight to ten weeks. But the amount of Creatine present
in muscle cells can saturate the sodium transport system responsible
for enabling more Creatine to enter the muscles, reducing the flow
of new Creatine because already present Creatine stores are blocking
the diffusion gradient.
Consuming more immediate-release Creatine does
not necessarily push more Creatine into the muscles because it can
shut down the sodium pump responsible for shuttling the Creatine
into muscle to begin with. In addition, a high Creatine concentration
will down-regulate muscle Creatine transport.
Why TRAC's Sugar Free delivery is superior?
Further research on immediate release Creatine
loading showed even more evidence against its effectiveness. One
study showed that administering a loading phase followed by a 5
gram per day maintenance phase had no greater effect on Creatine
in muscle after 30 days, than administering 5 grams per day with
no loading phase. It has also been determined that most people can
only store 2 to 3 grams of Creatine in the skeletal muscles. So,
any thing more is likely being excreted thru urine or feces.
Later research did however show that Creatine
accumulation could be substantially increased in skeletal muscles
when ingested with large quantities of simple sugars. A 94-gram
dose of carbohydrates in the form of glucose and simple sugars was
needed with each 5-gram dose of Creatine to increase muscle Creatine
by about 25%. This effect is believed to be related to carbohydrate-mediated
insulin release, which presumably would stimulate sodium-dependant
muscle Creatine transport.
The problem is, consuming 94 grams of sugar defies
all sports nutrition principles and is far too much to be physiologically
acceptable for repeated use. Consuming such large quantities of
sugars can have many negative side effects on health and physical
performance, including energy crashes and increased body fat.
TRAC™ eliminates these negative effects
by using TRT™ Arginine as its insulin mediating substance
instead of large amount of carbohydrates. L-Arginine is a precursor
for the formation of Nitric-Oxide (N0). Researchers and scientists
have been studying Nitric-Oxides involvement in a number of physiological
processes. New research has shown that Nitric Oxide can have a substantial
effect on insulin release and sensitivity, blood flow, nutrient
delivery and protein synthesis.
The effects of Arginine and Nitric Oxide
on Creatine transport.
Fairly large doses of Arginine are required to
enhance Nitric-Oxide (N0) production or stimulate insulin release.
The majority of studies conducted with L-Arginine that relate to
the benefits of Nitric-Oxide production or insulin-mediated vasodilatation
have either involved intravenous administration or oral administration
of immediate release formulations in repeated doses throughout the
day.
Single large dosages of Arginine are not well
tolerated and may cause stomach discomfort and diarrhea. In a pilot
study, subjects given 4 grams of L-Arginine freebase experienced
bowel intolerance and diarrhea within a few hours. After a two-week
washout, the same subjects were given the same 4-gram dose again
with the same results. Diarrhea speeds up gastric emptying and shortens
transit time for solutes in the window of absorption.
Surprisingly, when the same subjects were given
TRT™ Arginine, greater absorption was possible due to reduced
bowel intolerance. In this way less L-Arginine is lost to diarrhea,
and more is absorbed for vasodilatation or production of nitric
oxide. TRT™ not only increases the tolerated amount of oral
dosages but also prolongs the supply of Arginine to stimulate insulin
release.
MHP has discovered that by incorporating Arginine
with Creatine, muscle Creatine stores can be increased. An even
more effective formulation for accomplishing Creatine muscle transport
and accumulation is the combination of (TRT™) time-release
Arginine with (TRT™) time-release Creatine.
Time-release Arginine is more effective because
more Arginine substrate is made available through better absorption
in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, more substrate is available
for the production of nitric oxide mediated insulin, which stimulates
better Creatine transport to and accumulation in muscle. Furthermore,
by coupling the slow presentation of both substances simultaneously,
a type of nitric oxide shuttle for more effective delivery of Creatine
to muscle is provided.
By slowing down the rate of presentation of the
Creatine to the liver and the muscles, especially during intense
exercise or bodybuilding workouts, the need for normal Creatine
loading, which is inefficient, is avoided. Instead, the supply of
Creatine is constant, and is not working against a concentration
gradient for entry to muscle. The slow, long term supply of Creatine,
which spans many hours of exercise activity, provides a metered
injection of Creatine as it is exhausted from muscle stores. This
type of system is more effective during intense muscular activity
than during sedentary periods because of the increased catabolism
of Creatine to creatinine.
By slowing down the rate of increased substrate
availability of a nitric oxide and insulin mediating substance such
as Arginine, prolonged vasodilatation can be achieved. Instead of
a sudden burst of nitric oxide and concomitant decay, long term
conversion to NO or stimulation of insulin release can occur. Likewise,
long term vasodialatory effect from insulin and a sustained increased
in blood supply drives Creatine and other nutrient and energy rich
co-factor availability to skeletal muscle. This increased blood
flow and nutrient delivery to muscles can provide tremendous benefits
to endurance athletes.
Nitric Oxide also functions as an anti-oxidant.
Intense exercise increases production of reactive oxygen species
(damaging free radicals). Creatine kinase, the enzyme responsible
for conversion of Creatine to phosphocreatine (Creatine phosphate),
is oxidized (inactivated) by free radicals. The anti-oxidant properties
of nitric oxide enhancement via increased supply of supplemental
L-Arginine should serve to extend and prolong the integrity of Creatine
kinase, and thereby facilitate the cycling of Creatine to phosphocreatine.
This should enhance Creatine stores in muscle cells, and provide
a better environment for the entire process.
Aside from being the most advanced Creatine transport
product ever developed, TRAC™ also provides many additional
muscle building and physiological benefits. TRAC's™ time-released
Nitro-Loading properties also improve the absorption of other nutrients.
That's Right! TRAC's™ sustained production of Nitric Oxide
can increase nutrient delivery (specifically amino acids) to working
muscles. So, any other supplements you are taking, especially proteins,
are going to be better utilized by the body. This is definitely
an added bonus for bodybuilder and athletes.
I'm sure once other supplement companies learn
of the amazing physiological effects of TRAC's™ Nitro-Loading;
they will try to copy this extraordinary compound. However, TRAC's™
unique patent pending formulation and manufacturing process will
prevent others from being able to copy this sophisticated technology.
The Importance of NADH...
Another major component of TRAC™ is NADH
(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Its role as an anti-oxidant
helps to preserve NO and suppress superoxide anion and peroxynitrate
production. Aside from its role as an anti-oxidant, this powerful
co-enzyme of niacin influences many important biological functions
in the body including; the production of ATP, cell regulation and
DNA repair, and stimulation of dopamine, adrenaline, and norephinephrine
production.
NADH is often referred to as the energy nutrient.
NADH is used by the body for the synthesis of ATP, the energy compound
in every living cell. Studies conducted among competitive-level
athletes and long-distance runners taking NADH showed significant
improvements in performance. This increased synthesis of ATP coupled
with the increased production of ATP from Creatine is of a tremendous
benefit to both power and endurance.
