VASO-PUMP contains 4 of the most potent, natural nutrients to ever be combined in a Nitric Oxide releasing complex. Also, due to its strength and endurance increasing properties, VASO-PUMP is the perfect supplement for anyone who wants to improve their competitive edge in any field of athletic performance. Let's look at each component:
Di-Arginine-Malate (Nitrous MalateTM)
A double bonded amino acid (arginine) molecularly bound to malic acid. Most formulations on the market are single bonds of arginine and are combined with AKG. Malic acid may be a superior substrate to bond arginine to as it has numerous clinical studies supporting its use in athletic performance. Arginine has been proven to support Nitric Oxide production, which leads to increased "cell signaling" and an all day pump. Cell signaling will stimulate protein synthesis and glucose storage in muscles. Hence, "the pump". Researchers were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998 for their work in discovering the nitric oxide molecule. Apparently, there may be a correlation with reduced cardiovascular disease and increased levels of nitric oxide. Benefits from di-arginine-malate include:
*Full body recovery - extends recovery time from hours to all day
*Strength increase - functional muscle strength increase and increased sets/reps
*Increased muscle fiber - rockhard look to muscles, no puffiness or bloating
*Increased body weight - recalibrates natural set-point
*Amplifies and sustains blood flow - widens the diameter of blood vessels and increases blood flow to skeletal muscles, increasing nutrients such as creatine, amino's, glucose, O2 into muscle.
Gynostemma pentaphyllum: (Jiaogulan)
Referred to as the "Herb of Immortality", this adaptogenic herb features gypenoside alkaloids, which have been clinically shown to boost nitric oxide levels, as well as a host of other benefits:
*Adaptogenic - restores homeostasis by balancing the liver
*Decrease cholesterol - increases good (HDL) and decreases bad (LDL)
*Improves digestion - allows an underweight person to increase absorption of nutrients and gain lean muscle weight by assisting liver function.
*Increases strength and endurance
*Boosts immunity - increases white blood cell count
*Lowers high blood pressure
*Assists in natural weight loss - allows the liver to convert carbohydrates into muscle versus triglycerides which store as body fat
L-Citrulline
A non-essential amino acid which is involved in the synthesis of protein and the clearance of ammonia. L-Citrulline converts to arginine in the endothelial cells, making it a natural choice to assist nitric oxide levels. Recent research is indicating that it may be the preferred source of cellular arginine.
*Increases energy
*Stimulates the immune system
*Essential for removal of ammonia from workout stress
Magnesium - Malate
Magnesium is essential for numerous bodily processes and is shown to be deficient in 75% of Americans. Magnesium combines with malic acid in the Krebs' Cycle to form ATP…which is especially beneficial during anaerobic activity (weight - training). Malic acid also has numerous studies supporting its use in athletic enhancement, making it a better choice over AKG which lacks clinical data.
