MAN Sports Body Octane Product Information
Ultimate Athletic Performance Enhancer For Full Muscle Energy Take performance to the Next Level
with Body Octane, the ultimate athletic performance enhancer.
Engineered to smash the anaerobic and aerobic thresholds, hard training
athletes and fitness enthusiasts using Body Octane will drive
performance like never experienced before. Muscles that are able to work
harder by generating more explosive power and that are able to train
with more resilience are the result of Body Octane detailed engineered
matrix.
Powered by Citrulline Malate, LCLT, and Muscle Carnosine Boosters Beta Alanine & L-Histidine.
Make
no mistake about it, Body Octane sets the stage for unprecedented
athletic performance, but it also speeds recuperation from training.
That means not only will you be able to perform better, harder and
longer no matter what your sport, but you can stay on top of your game,
because Body Octane speeds recuperation to a point of no dispute. So
what's the bottom line? Body Octane is full blown muscle energy!
Athletes from all walks of life will experience the benefits of being
able to train harder and longer while speeding recuperation times.

So what is in Body Octane and what does it do?Citrulline Malate:
Used and proven effective
for over 20 years in Europe as a treatment for fatigue and dementia,
Citrulline Malate (CM) has made its way into the world of athletic
performance thanks to the research and development team at MAN Sports
Products IncTM. This unique combination of the amino acid Citrulline and
the organic salt Malate offers athletes with a new choice in improving
performance and recovery. As an intermediate in the Urea,
Citrulline aids in the removal of endotoxins such as lactic acid and
ammonia1. These endotoxins are produced through intense physical
activity, protein metabolism, and catabolic states. Endotoxins damage
living cells and wreak havoc on athletic performance2.
Researches also point to Citrulline
as possibly a greater alternative to Arginine for enhancing plasma
Arginine levels because of Citrullines effects on endogenous Arginine
synthesis3-meaning that CM may be a superior alternative to Arginine for
regulating Nitric Oxide production, growth hormone release, insulin and
creatine production. And that's not all, it has also been discovered
that supplementing CM at a dose as low as 6 grams a day significantly
reduced muscle fatigue, increased ATP production by 34%, and caused a
20% increase in Phosphocreatine recovery after exercise4. What this
means is that Citrulline Malate improved aerobic metabolism, cellular
energy production, and promoted muscular recovery. When all's said and
done athletes using Citrulline Malate will have more energy to train
better and harder and will recover faster from their training sessions.
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate:
Although referred to as an amino acid,
L-Carnitine is a natural nutrient belonging to the B-Vitamin family
(BT). It is mainly stored in skeletal muscle and the heart and can be
synthesized naturally in the body. However under certain physiological
conditions the body may not produce sufficient levels of Carnitine.
L-Carnitine's main function inside the body is to transport long chain
fatty acids into the mitochondria (furnace of the cell), where fats can
be broken down and converted to energy. As a result, L-Carnitine is
necessary for the production of energy from fat5. Past studies have
revealed the effectiveness of L-Carnitine in relevance to exercise
performance, cardiovascular health, weight management, and much more...
Athletes have long favored L-Carnitine
supplementation for its ability to increase VO2 max6, 7, which is the
highest volume of oxygen a person can consume during exercise. What's
more, L-Carnitine supplementation reduces lactic acid buildup and spares
glycogen and as a result delays fatigue8. And that's not all.
Enter L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate (LCLT).
This new age Carnitine compound has just recently been discovered to
have some fascinating recuperation properties. More specifically,
research on LCLT at a dose of 2 grams a day was shown to reduce the
amount of muscle disruption after weight training9. Circulating markers
of muscle damage after exercise lowered, energy substrate breakdown
during and after exercise lowered and muscle soreness after exercise was
decreased from those who supplemented with LCLT9. Since exercise
depletes Carnitine concentrations in the blood cells, the result is less
than optimal blood flow and oxygen supply to muscles. The positive
results from LCLT administration are believed to be a result of enhanced
oxygen supply to the muscle by means of increased blood flow. In
addition to that, it appears that LCLT may support protein synthesis and
response to exercise by protecting receptors from
excessive damage as a result of resistant exercise10.
In simple terms, the use of LCLT not only will enhance performance and prevent fatigue, but more importantly LCLT promotes recovery.
Muscle Carnosine Boosters Beta Alanine & Histidine:
Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine)
is a naturally-occurring dipeptide discovered in Russia in 1900 and is
made up of amino acids Beta-Alanine and L-Histidine. Carnosine is found
in skeletal muscle, heart and brain. Since much of the research with
carnosine was performed in Russia, it has been largely unavailable to
the Western World until just recently. Carnosine is now becoming more
and more recognized for its remarkable potential as a highly effective
anti-aging nutrient... But there's a lot more!
Antioxidant, buffering, free radical scavenging
and even neurotransmitter properties are attributed to Carnosine.
Carnosine is also found primarily in type II muscle fibres11,12. These
are the 'fast-twitch' fibres that are important for explosive movements
such as sprinting and weight training. Increasing muscle Carnosine
concentrations are important to athletes because Carnosine increases
intramuscular hydrogen ion (H+) buffering capacity. And the production
of H+ is the result of energy release, leading to a burning sensation
and muscle fatigue. Basically what this means is that Carnosine
increases your ability to work harder by preventing your muscle from
becoming too acidic during times of stress by picking up Hydrogen ions.
More Carnosine in muscle means you can keep muscle acid in check and
train harder and longer.13
So why not start mega dosing Carnosine?
Dietary intake of Carnosine gets broken down into the amino acids
Beta-Alanine and Histidine and in turn gets resynthesized into Carnosine
in the muscle. Carnosine biosynthesis is dependent on availability of
Beta-Alanine and L-Histidine. If truth be told, a deficiency in
L-Histidine reduces muscle Carnosine levels, while supplementation with
it increases Carnosine levels14, 15, 16. Another study done on
Beta-Alanine and L-Histidine for 30 days increased muscle Carnosine by
13%17!
The take home message is this. Oral
supplementation of Carnosine can lead to increased concentrations of
Carnosine. Supplementation with Beta-Alanine and L-Histidine may prove
to be a more effective way for getting the benefits of elevated levels
of Carnosine. And with these elevated levels of Carnosine, increased
athletic performance, and a great deal more is the result.
