PUMPS

L Citrulline Malate – powerfully enhances muscle pump, improves blood flow, power output, oxygen consumption and exercise performance. We utilize a monster 6g dose of the superior version “L Citrulline Malate” instead of just L-citrulline like many companies do. The addition of Malic Acid to create L Citrulline Malate provides the one-two punch of bringing additional blood—and subsequently, oxygen and nutrients—to exercising muscles, as well as providing increased energy to boost performance levels.

Agmatine Sulfate plays a role in positively regulating NOS (nitric oxide synthase), the enzyme behind the production of nitric oxide. This increase in nitric oxide activity improves vasodilation, which improves muscle pumps. Muscle pumps not only increase nutrient delivery to muscle tissue, but also impact protein synthesis rates allowing for a potential increase in the rate of muscle tissue growth.

L-Arginine The nitrogen retaining abilities of Arginine are well-known within the bodybuilding and scientific communities. Arginine is also believed to be crucial for muscle growth due to its vasodilating abilities, as well as its ability to participate in protein synthesis.

Taurine is an amino acid that gets stored in muscle cells and pulls more water into them to blow up the muscles even bigger, especially when coupled with the patented Kre-Alkalyn® creatine we have added to L1FT. Clinical research using taurine finds that it can significantly enhance blood flow due to its vasodilating capabilities. As you might know, vasodilation relaxes and widens blood vessels which improves circulation to your muscles, and sets the stage for some serious muscle pumps!

KARBOLYN® is a Fast-Absorbing Carb With Complex Carb Sustainability. Dominating out on the field or getting so pumped in the gym your veins look like garden hoses is based on one major thing: how much glycogen you have jammed into your muscle and liver. Invented by 1Mission Nutrition’s Sports Scientist Dr. Jeff Golini, KARBOLYN® is absorbed into the bloodstream like a simple sugar but without the typical crash caused when your muscles run out of fuel. It has also been shown to be absorbed as quickly as pure Dextrose (a simple carbohydrate). Yet, it still provides sustained energy without “crashing”. The Bottom Line:

KARBOLYN® ensures you are optimizing your glycogen stores before, during and after training.

MUSCLE BUILDING

BETAINE – drives water into the cell causing it to swell! This leads to more muscle growth (Hypertrophy) and muscle cell splitting (Hyperplasia). In other words, it actually helps you grow new muscle cells and makes the ones you already have bigger! Betaine has been proven in studies to increase muscle mass while decreasing body fat!

Choline Bitartrate – Without adequate Acetylcholine levels, it doesn’t matter how much muscle you have, you may fail to complete that last grueling rep of your last set. Acetylcholine supports healthy muscular contractile force. Even the most advanced athlete knows what it’s like to have the muscle to power through that last rep, but failure ensues. With each rep, Acetylcholine levels deplete. That’s where Choline comes in. By supporting Acetylcholine levels, the ability of the nervous system to signal the motor units within your muscle cells increases.

TAURINE – Increases force production, improving endurance and performance during strenuous activities. Taurine also helps the fast-twitch muscles produce peak force by supporting the contractile properties and countering fatigue.

L-Arginine contributes to muscle growth because it is needed for the synthesis of most proteins. While the muscle mass increases, L-arginine also signals muscle cells, encourages the release of growth hormone, and promotes fat metabolism.

STRENGTH

Kre-Alkalyn® – The Kre-Alkalyn® in L1FT represents a major breakthrough in performance supplementation thanks to its multi-patented, pH-Correct creatine stabilization technology. Our scientist at 1Mission Nutrition, Dr. Jeff Golini, discovered that “buffering” to pH-12 produced a stable creatine molecule. Kre-Alkalyn® is the ONLY creatine monohydrate product with a pH level of 12 because its molecules are synthesized with ‘buffering’ agents using a proprietary manufacturing process.

KRE-ALKALYN® CRUSHES STRENGTH GAINS STUDY Twenty-four elite athletes from the Bulgarian National Weightlifting Team† were selected to participate in a double-blind clinical study comparing Kre-Alkalyn® to standard creatine monohydrate. After 60 days, the Kre-Alkalyn® group experienced an overall average strength increase of 28.25% above those in the unbuffered creatine monohydrate group!

BETA ALANINE – improves muscular strength and endurance dramatically by increasing the amount of carnosine in your body, which helps muscles contract with more force. Beta Alanine also impedes muscular fatigue, helping you push harder and longer in the gym.

TAURINE – Increases force production, improving endurance and performance during strenuous activities. Taurine also helps the fast-twitch muscles produce peak force by supporting the contractile properties and countering fatigue.
