Endurox R4 contains the patented 4 to 1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed muscle glycogen replenishment and rebuild muscle protein after exercise, antioxidants to reduce post-exercise muscle damage and glutamine to help reduce muscle stress. Recover faster Recover better Come back stronger Optimal carbohydrate profile with less sugarEndurox R4 Clinical StudiesEffects of recovery beverages on glycogen restoration and endurance exercise performance.This study determined that "The rate of [post-exercise] recovery is coupled with the rate of muscle glycogen replenishment," and that "recovery supplements should be consumed to optimize muscle glycogen synthesis as well as fluid replacement." Eight endurance trained cyclists performed two trials consisting of a 2-hour glycogen depletion ride followed by an exhaustive ride at high intensity. Subjects received either a carb-protein beverage (Endurox R4) or a carb-only sports drink immediately and 2 hours post-exercise. Post-exercise ingestion of carb-protein beverage (Endurox R4), in comparison to the carb-only beverage, resulted in a 55% greater time to exhaustion during a subsequent exercise bout at 85% VO2max. Ingestion of the carb-protein beverage resulted in a 17% greater plasma glucose response, a 92% greater insulin response and a 128% greater storage of muscle glycogen compared to the carb-only beverage.Effects Of Recovery Drinks After Prolonged Glycogen-Depletion Exercise.This study found that "recovery from glycogen-depleting exercise was significantly enhanced by [Endurox R4] Recovery Drink when compared to Gatorade. In addition, [Endurox R4] Recovery Drink decreased the formation of final oxidation products, when compared to Gatorade." Eight male cyclists performed a two-hour cycling exercise bout followed by one to three 5-minute sprints. A four-hour recovery period ensued in which the subjects were given 24 ounces of either Endurox R4 or Gatorade. A performance test to exhaustion was then conducted. The recovery phase showed significant increases in both plasma glucose and insulin following Endurox R4 ingestion as compared to Gatorade. There was an average 66% increase in time to exhaustion during the performance ride following Endurox R4 ingestion compared to Gatorade. Final oxidation products following Endurox R4 ingestion were significantly decreased as compared to Gatorade ingestion.The Effect of Two Sports Drink Formulations on Muscle Stress and Performance.This study demonstrated that "A [carb-protein supplement], by providing additional [carbohydrate] and amino acids, may reduce postexercise muscle stress, as evidenced by a 36% decrease in 24-hour [creatine kinase] levels. Ten college-age males and females completed a 45-minute run, rested in a 10-minute transition, cycled for 90 minutes, and then performed a time trial (TT). During the transition and 30 minutes into the bike segment, subjects ingested either a 15% carb-protein beverage (Endurox R4) or a carb-only beverage.. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for creatine kinase (a biomarker of muscle damage), lactic acid and glucose. There was a 36% reduction for the 24-hour post-exercise creatine kinase level in the carb-protein treatment.Effects of Post Exercise Carbohydrate-Protein Supplement On Skeletal Muscle Glycogen Storage.This study showed that "The greater rate of recovery following glycogen-depleting exercise during the [carb-protein] treatment shown [in previous studies] was likely due to a greater glycogen restoration." Eight endurance-trained cyclists performed two trials consisting of a 2-hour glycogen depletion ride followed by ingestion of 12 oz of a carb-protein supplement (Endurox R4) or a carbohydrate supplement immediately and 2 hours post-exercise. Trials were randomized and separated by 7 days. Blood samples were collected prior to exercise and throughout the 4-hour post-exercise recovery period. Muscle biopsies were taken immediately after and 4 hours postexercise for determination of muscle glycogen content. Ingestion of the carb-protein supplement resulted in a 17% greater plasma glucose response, a 92% greater insulin response, and a 128% greater storage of muscle glycogen compared to the carb-only supplement.Carbohydrate protein complex increases the rate of muscle glycogen storage after exercise.This study found that "post-exercise muscle glycogen storage can be enhanced with a carbohydrate-protein supplement as a result of the interaction of carbohydrate and protein on insulin secretion." Nine men cycled for two hours on three occasions to deplete their muscle glycogen. After each workout they drank a carbohydrate, protein, or carb-protein supplement. The rate of muscle glycogen replenishment in the carbohydrate-protein treatment was 38% greater than in the carbohydrate treatment and more than three times greater than in the protein treatment.Carbohydrate-protein drink improves time to exhaustion after recovery from endurance exercise.This study demonstrated that "a [carb-protein] drink following glycogen depleting exercise may facilitate a greater rate of muscle glycogen resynthesis than a [carbohydrate-]only beverage, hasten the recovery process, and improve exercise endurance during a second bout of exercise performed on the same day." Ten male athletes completed a long workout on stationary bikes, then drank either a carb-protein sports drink (Endurox R4) or a carb-only sports drink. After a two-hour rest the subjects completed an endurance bout to exhaustion. The athletes went 20% longer with the carb-protein sports drink than with the carb-only sports drink.Early post-exercise muscle glycogen recovery is enhanced with a carbohydrate-protein supplement.This study showed that "a [carb-protein] supplement is more effective for the rapid replenishment of muscle glycogen after exercise than a [carb-only] supplement of equal [carbohydrate] or caloric content." Subjects completed a very long workout on stationary bikes and then drank either a carb-protein sports drink (Endurox R4) or a carb-only sports drink of equal calories. Four hours later, muscle glycogen was significantly greater in those given the carb-protein sports drink.Postexercise protein intake enhances whole-body and leg protein accretion in humans.This study found that post-exercise consumption of a carbohydrate-protein supplement increased protein synthesis in exercised muscles and throughout the body compared to a carb-only supplement and placebo. Five men and five women completed a one-hour stationary bicycle ride. Upon completion of the workout, subjects were randomly given either the placebo, the carb-only supplement, or the carb-protein supplement. The test was repeated until all subjects had received all three treatments. The carb-protein supplement increased plasma essential amino acids 33%, leg uptake of glucose 3.5-fold, and leg and whole-body protein synthesis 6-fold and 15%, respectively. Whereas post-exercise intake of either placebo or the carb-only supplement resulted in a net leg release of essential amino acids and net loss of whole-body and leg protein, the carb-protein supplement resulted in a net leg uptake of essential amino acids and net whole-body and leg protein gain.References:1.

Scivation Xtend - Watermelon Madness
Scivation Xtend is scientifically formulated to maximize training intensity and promote optimal muscle protein synthesis and recovery while you train. Xtend is formulated with a precise PentActive blend of actives, synergistically involved in key cellular processes to optimize muscle performance and response.1. Research validated 2:1:1 ratio of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine, to stimulate and support muscle protein synthesis and provide metabolic energy while you train.2. Glutamine to promote muscle intracellular BCAA metabolism down the correct energy and protein synthesis pathways via the BCAA aminotransferase enzyme.3. The rate-limiting cofactor Vitamin B6 to ensure optimal BCAA aminotransferase reactions.4. Bonded Citrulline Malate to help facilitate rapid ATP turnover and lactate reabsorption to support higher training volumes at a given exercise intensity.5. The three most vital electrolytes - Potassium, Chloride and Sodium - to optimize cell hydration and muscle contractile function while you train under the most brutal of conditions.Q: What is Xtend?A: Xtend is the ultimate, sugar-free, BCAA-containing drink mix to be consumed during exercise (intra-workout). Whether you're a physique athlete, strongman, powerlifter, traditional athlete (e.g., football, basketball, baseball, soccer, etc), endurance competitor, or just looking to significantly change your body composition through resistance training and nutrition, Xtend is ideally formulated to maximize training intensity and support your goals. Xtend was the first and has become the most well-recognized and used intra-workout catalyst product because it not only works.... but it tastes great too! Xtend contains an incredible:7000 mg of BCAAs in an ideal 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine3500 mg of Leucine2500 mg of Glutamine1000 mg of Citrulline Malate1171 mg of Electrolytes640 mcg of Vitamin B6And, ZERO Carbohydrates or SugarXtend was recently reformulated to dramatically improve taste and ingredient solubility - Xtend is now spoon-mixible - and to provide added functionality for workouts or events under the most grueling of conditions. Xtend is available in 6 mouth-watering, refreshing fruit flavors to make every workout an incredible one.Q: Who should use Xtend?A: Xtend was designed to be used effectively by anyone, male or female, who want to perform at their best - from serious athletes to anyone that's just serious about performance or changing their physique. Though ideal for strength or bodybuilding training, or for persons on a reduced carbohydrate diet, Xtend can also be used very effectively in a "bulking phase" or by endurance athletes during training and competition. That is, Xtend works whether it's used as formulated and indicated, or whether you choose to combine Xtend with supplemental carbohydrates based upon performance needs and duration.Q: When's the best time to consume Xtend?A: Two university studies confirm that Xtend is significantly effective at increasing muscle mass and strength, and reducing body fat when consumed during exercise or immediately prior to and after training. It's recommended that you begin consuming Xtend immediately prior to, and continue sipping on Xtend throughout your training or competition. Many users also report significantly improved gains when Xtend is consumed immediately upon waking-up in the morning and/or sipping on Xtend throughout the day.Q: How much Xtend should I consume for it to be most effective?A: For best mixing results and taste, pour 8 fluid ounces of filtered water into a shaker cup. Add 1 scoop of Xtend. Cover or close the shaker cup. Swirl the shaker to create a vortex effect and draw the Xtend powder into solution. Then, once the Xtend powder has fallen into solution, shake vigorously for about 25 shakes. Enjoy! For endurance athletes that may add Xtend to their hydration pack, it is recommended that Xtend be mixed in a shaker cup or pitcher and then poured into the hydration pack (as opposed to mixing directly within the hydration pack, as doing so may cause the hydration tubing to become blocked). NOTE: If you find that some of the BCAA material settles at the bottom of the shaker cup, you may not have used the correct dilution ratio of 1 scoop of Xtend per 8 fluid ounce of water.Q: What results will I achieve from using Xtend?A: Two clinical studies support the effective use of Xtend, when combined with exercise.Xtend Increased Lean Body Mass by 2x MORE than Whey Protein and 3x MORE than Carbohydrates in just 8 weeks!Xtend Decreased Body Fat by 2x MORE than Whey Protein and 3x MORE than Carbohydrates in just 8 weeks!Xtend Increased the Bench Press Weight Used on a 10-reps to failure test (10-RM) by 2x MORE than Whey Protein and 3x MORE than Carbohydrates in just 8 weeks!Xtend Increased the Squat Weight Used on a 10-reps to failure test (10-RM) by 2x MORE than Whey Protein and 3x MORE than Carbohydrates in just 8 weeks!Other results you can expect from using Xtend include:Increased Exercise Training Volume (More Volume/More Total Work = Greater Adaptation or More Muscle)Increased Muscle Protein SynthesisReduced Muscle Protein BreakdownIncreased Muscular EnduranceIncreased Energy & Endurance CapacityImproved Blood Glucose Disposal & Insulin ResponseIncreased Power OutputIncreased ATP Synthesis/ResynthesisIncreased Nitric Oxide (NO)Delayed Onset of Muscle Fatigue/Increased Time to ExhaustionImproved Neuromuscular Responsiveness & RecoveryImproved HydrationQ: How fast will I see results from using Xtend?A: Most Xtend users report an immediate, acute response during training. Variables such as training volume, reduced fatigue, and increased muscular endurance and power output are common to first-time Xtend users. For body composition and strength changes, Xtend studies support significant improvements in as little as 8 weeks.Q: Is Xtend safe?A: Not only do each of the individual ingredients used in Xtend have an incredibly high dosing threshold of safety and many years of validated clinical trials to support safety across a wide range of consumers, but Xtend did not adversely affect any measures of safety in either of the two clinical studies in which it was used chronically and at high doses for up to 10 weeks. Additionally, each batch of Xtend undergoes rigorous quality assurance and analytical testing to validate ingredient purity and potency, and is blended and packaged in an NSF for Sport® certified facility to ensure no banned substances are inadvertently introduced into the manufacturing process while producing Xtend.Q: How does Xtend work?A: Xtend is formulated with a precise PentActive blend of key ingredients, synergistically involved in cellular processes to optimize muscle performance and response:Stage 1: 7000 mg of BCAAs, in a 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine is used to provide metabolic energy while you train, as well as to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.Stage 2: 2500 mg of Glutamine is used to increase extracellular concentrations of Glutamine, which helps to promote muscle intracellular BCAA metabolism down the correct energy and protein synthesis pathways via the BCAA aminotransferase enzyme.Stage 3: 640 mcg of Vitamin B6 serves as the rate-limiting cofactor involved in optimal BCAA aminotransferase reactions.Stage 4: 1000 mg of Citrulline Malate help support rapid ATP turnover and lactate reabsorption to support higher training volumes at a given exercise intensity. Citrulline also serves as a secondary signal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, most likely arising from its ability to promote increased blood flow via increase nitric oxide (NO) and/or improving the energy state of a cell by promoting lactate reabsorption .Stage 5: 1171 mg of an extensively studied Electrolyte blend, consisting of Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate, Potassium Chloride, and Sodium Chloride, help to optimize muscle contractile function and promote cell hydration u

CytoSport Muscle Milk - Chocolate Malt
New Lipids Burn Fat... Instead Of Storing It!Leading scientists "rethinking" for the role of fats in increasing lean muscle growth have shown all fats are not created equal. The type of fat determines whether you use it for muscle energy or store it as body fat! "Good Lipids" used in Muscle Milk promote fat loss 3 ways:MCTs, the predigested "fatless fats", are more likely burned for muscle energy and heat than stored as fat. 20% of human milk and Muscle Milk lipids are MCTs. MCTs also promote positive nitrogen balance.Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are also less likely to be stored as fat. We use special enzyme engineering to make these lipids even more functional, promoting anti-inflammatory effects and enhanced mineral retention.Recent research reveals calories with engineered lipids, taken before and during workouts, promote leanness. It is thought that these calories are used for workout energy, with less deposited as fat.So while Muscle Milk may contain slightly more fat than older ultra-carb products, our Lean-Lipids™ are designed to help you get leaner.Muscle Milk helps grows muscle faster than gainers, whey or even creatine. This increased muscle growth is possible because Muscle Milk is the first product patterned after Nature's ultimate anabolic food-human mother's milk.Locked within human mother's milk are long-held secrets to muscle growth potential previously considered impossible. After years of study, we've unlocked these secrets! We then took the next step and actually duplicated these important muscle growth factors into Muscle Milk.Muscle Milk helps you grow muscle like never before, even for the hardest gainers!Growth promoting as human milk is, we found ways to improve on it for even greater muscle synthesis. For example, we reduce lactose and fat, while discovering a way to recreate the lean-promoting lipids in human milk. Plus, we add a breakthrough that enables you to make more of your own creatine.Muscle Milk triggers new levels of muscular growth in 3 ways other products can't:Creatine GCC- Help Support Your Body's Own Creatine Production.We discovered a revolutionary method to increase your body's own production of muscle energy critical creatine. These creatine factors help your body to produce more creatine than normal. Creatine supplements are good, but so is your body's making more of its own. Plus, Creatine GCC scavenges toxic homocysteine, an enemy of muscle growth.EvoPro™ Nature's Ultimate Anabolic Protein-Amino Blend.Human milk is composed of highly unique and complex proteins, peptides and amino acids, which is why it grows human muscle tissue so rapidly. EvoPro includes these alpha and beta micellar caseins, a-Lactalbumin, lactoferrin, glutamine peptides and more. Nature created this precise mix to stimulate muscle growth to higher levels, and EvoPro is the ultimate nitrogen source to deliver it.LeanLipids™ - "Good Fats" That Help You Get Leaner.Human milk contains custom fat structures that actually promote leanness, while retaining more energy in the body. This promotes thermogenesis, enabling protein and amino acids to be used for muscle growth at higher levels. LeanLipids even help retain minerals critical to muscle contraction, and are a great source of these customized lipids for serious athletes.

When you are into bodybuilding, you will most likely need supplements to make your workout effort more effective and fruitful. This means seeking the help of mass-building vitamins and minerals like BCAA’s or branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, essential fatty acids and prohormones.
During workout supplements are available in multiple forms such as powder (for drinks and shakes), pills, capsules or bars. The most popular form is the powder form since you can easily incorporate it to your meals – whether it’s your juice, steamed veggies or shakes. Most bodybuilding supplements are bringing in additional protein to your body, which aids in building more muscles and strengthening your bones.
BCAA’s provide additional amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. Naturally, more building blocks means more protein built in your body. This process happens inside your stomach and intestines. Glutamine is naturally lost during exercise and it is one of the essential types of amino acids in your body. Supplements that focus more on glutamine are meant to be taken after a workout session to help replenish your stock of glutamine in your body.
Essential fatty acids aim to put in more good oil into your system such as omega oil, flaxseed oil (which are not naturally present in the human body). Meal replacements or MRP’s are often pre-packed to serve as substitutes to the typical home-cooked meal. Calories of these packages are well calculated to provide you just enough calories for the meal and at the same time, provide extra vitamins and minerals beneficial in bodybuilding.
Depending on what type of supplements you would be more comfortable with, the current market is offering you a lot of options for your bodybuilding needs.
