AMINO ACIDS

Magnesium is especially important for athletes. The modes of action includes restoration of the electrolyte balance in the body and contribution to a normal energy metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to normal muscle function and normal protein synthesis. The latter is important so that the muscles are sufficiently supplied with nutrients and can work on building up new muscle mass smoothly. Finally, protein is the essential building block when it comes to the formation of new muscle fibres. Furthermore, magnesium supports normal function of the nervous system and mental health.

Magnesium is present in a large number of foods that we take in the daily diet to meet our basic metabolic rate. The magnesium requirement of athletes is much higher, so dietary supplements like BODY ATTACK Magnesium Liquid can be useful to prevent deficiency. The product BODY ATTACK Magnesium Liquid contains 1,400 mg magnesium per 100 ml, 640 mg ascorbic acid as well as a total of 7 g carbohydrates. This drink is fat-free and has a low calorific value, which is why it may be taken during a diet.

Magnesium is also interesting for strength athletes because it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue of the body. Reduction in fatigue can crucially help to improve performance, especially during intense competitions and demanding workout phases. Taking BODY ATTACK Magnesium Liquid has been proven to be useful for a wide range of athletes. This includes not only amateurs and professionals in strength training, but also endurance athletes such as runners, and many other athletes.

Worth knowing: What is magnesium?
Magnesium is one of the 10 most important elements that the body requires. Besides magnesium, these also include oxygen and carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulphur, as well as phosphorus, potassium, calcium and iron. Finally, magnesium is continuously used in human metabolism, which is why sufficient supply of it is an absolute necessity. The magnesium-rich foods include whole grains, legumes and nuts. Should these sources be insufficient, dietary supplements may be taken.

Which products can the BODY ATTACK Magnesium Liquid be combined with best?

• With the BODY ATTACK Endurance Booster, an amino acid / carbohydrate supplement to increase the short and intense athletic performance.
• In conjunction with the BODY ATTACK BCAA shots, a hydrolysed whey protein, to build up muscular mass proteins.
• Together with the BODY ATTACK Testo Shock 2.0, a popular muscle build-up supplement for bodybuilders and strength athletes.

An important prerequisite for the physical and mental performance is a balanced diet. This ensures that the human organism is supplied with all the essential nutrients required for the various metabolic processes. These nutrients are divided into micro and macro-nutrients.

The first category includes vitamins and trace elements. The daily requirement of macro-nutrients, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and water is very high. This must be provided to the body in sufficient quantity through the food intake. BODY ATTACK Isotonic Sports Drink can be a diet supplement here, because the organism receives fluid and various vitamins and minerals.

The drink which is produced from the powder also contains magnesium.This mineral contributes to normal muscle function, reduction in fatigue and influence of the energy metabolism.

Worth knowing: Why does the body need fluids?

The human body consists of about 65% water, which is distributed in the cells, the intracellular space and the blood. A highly complex system ensures that enough liquid is available for the organism, so that all body functions can be met.

Physical exertion consumes energy, and thus water. Therefore, the rule of thumb applies: For each calorie used up, the organism should be supplied with about one millilitre of fluid. That?s about 2.5 litres a day. A drink such as BODY ATTACK Isotonic Sports Drink can be a useful alternative, which supplies the body with essential nutrients at the same time.

Worth knowing: What is the acid-base balance?

The acid-base balance is also precisely controlled by the organism similar to many other processes in the body. Acidosis or high alkaline hydrolysis can cause severe damage to organs. The normal pH of the blood is about 7.4. A deviation occurs when the value is lower (acidosis) or higher (alkalosis) than the normal value.

The causes of a disorder in the acid-base balance are varied. This also includes an unbalanced diet, shallow breathing or excessive athletic activity. The first signs of deviation of the pH in the blood are, e.g. muscle cramps, fatigue, headache, nausea and vomiting. In this situation, a balance between acids and bases must be restored.

Through its various ingredients, BODY ATTACK Isotonic Sports Drink can support the organism in this progress.

Wich products can it be combined with best?

1. With the BODY ATTACK Natural Sports Water - the bottled water for sportsmen.
   
2. In conjunction with the Power Protein 90 powder that supports the maintenance and development of muscles.
   
3. With the BODY ATTACK 100% Pure Creatine to raise performance during short and intense strength training.

Green tea extract is one of the premium dry extracts from the leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) - and is rich in the ingredient polyphenols. This plant material is as important for our health as vitamins. Since polyphenols occur mostly in fruits and vegetables, the BODY ATTACK Green Tea Extract Capsules can be a helpful supplement to an unstable and unbalanced diet. The Asians drank green tea as a refreshing drink even thousands of years ago. Usually loose dried tea leaves were used for the preparation, as they contained the highest amount of polyphenols.

The Green Tea Extract Capsules from BODY ATTACK deliver 1,050 mg of green tea extract per serving (3 capsules) with 84 mg caffeine.

The Green Tea Extract capsules may also be used as a high-quality alternative by all those who want to give up the pleasure of coffee beans – e.g. shift workers, students in examination phases or athletes.


What are the other active substances in the BODY ATTACK Green Tea Extract Capsules?

60 mg ascorbic acid is also added to the BODY ATTACK Green Tea Extract. Ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that is active in the body as a powerful antioxidant. It helps protect our body cells in e.g. blood vessels, muscle fibres, skin and tendons from oxidative stress. Moreover, ascorbic acid can recover the Vitamin E rendered inactive by free radicals. Ascorbic acid has another important function: it is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as epinephrine and norepinephrine, which can help reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Worth knowing: What are polyphenols and how do they act?

The polyphenols in green tea are the so-called phytochemicals, which are primarily known for their antioxidant activity. This is because they have the ability to trap free radicals and thereby protect cells from antioxidative stress.

Which products can the BODY ATTACK Green Tea Extract be combined with best?

With the BODY ATTACK B-Complex to help reduce fatigue and tiredness during physical and mental effort.
With BODY ATTACK Calcium + Vitamin D3 to support normal muscle function during a low-calorie diet.

Calcium is needed by the body to maintain normal bone and teeth as well as blood clotting and muscle function. It is best integrated into the bone with the help of vitamin D. The vitamin D3 activates the calcium-binding proteins in the intestine and contributes to the absorption and utilisation of calcium, maintenance of a normal muscle function, and normal functioning of the immune system.



For people who do not absorb enough vitamin D through exposure to the sun or vitamin D-rich foods, such as mushrooms, eggs, margarine, liver and salmon, BODY ATTACK Calcium + D3 can be a useful supplement. One serving (2 tablets) of BODY ATTACK Calcium + D3 has 1,200 mg calcium carbonate and 10 μg Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).

Which products can the BODY ATTACK Calcium + D3 be combined with best?

Until the age of 35, human beings should ensure adequate calcium uptake, since the maximum bone calcium store can be built up to that age. This is marked by the onset of age-related degradation processes and low stores of calcium in the bone may lead to premature bone weakness. Vitamin D3 is not only important for bone metabolism, but also takes over numerous other tasks in the body: It is involved in cell division, growth and maturation and is also responsible for the activity of the immune system. It also ensures a balanced calcium metabolism, which regulates the transmission of signals between neurons and muscle cells. Vitamin D is also believed to have an important role in muscle development. It is believed that vitamin D promotes the influx of calcium into the muscle fibres. The influx of calcium plays an important role in strength development, because calcium activates the enzymes (ATPases) that release energy for muscle contraction in the muscle cells.

Worth knowing: What is the vitamin D3 requirement in the human body?

The daily diet of youth and adults has on an average between 2 to 4 μg vitamin D3 per day. An amount that is insufficient to compensate for the lack of endogenous vitamin D3 during the dark winter months; it is synthesised by exposure to sunlight during summer. The vitamin D requirement of children, youth and adults is 20 micrograms a day. The amount is needed by the body for normal calcium and bone metabolism. That is, vitamin D can help better incorporation of the calcium into the bone tissue.

Which products can the BODY ATTACK Calcium + D3 be combined with best?

• With the BODY ATTACK 3-XT Protein, a multi-component protein with creatine, to help build muscular mass and sprint power.
• With BODY ATTACK BCAA Shots before workout, which provide whey proteins for the increase in muscular mass.
• 
  With the BODY ATTACK Power Protein 90, the all-rounder among fitness shakes with biologically high-value proteins, which may contribute to the preservation and the development of muscular mass.

The 100% Rice Protein from My Supps contains vegetable protein which has been extracted from brown rice, and is accordingly a pure vegan protein powder.Normally vegetable proteins may be broken down in an inferior manner by the body, which can be attributed to the plant fibres and the protein inhibitors. However, the 100% Rice Protein from My Supps has a high biological value due to the use of the most up-to-date technologies available for extracting protein which can compete with that obtained from animal protein sources.

Product Highlights:

• approx. 4000 mg of BCAAs
  
• approx. 24g of protein
  
• 100% vegan
  
• Sugar free
  
• Free of lactose
  
• Gluten-free ingredients
  
• Low-carb and low-fat
  
• Ingredients not produced by genetic engineering

One shake (30 g of powder) provides, depending upon flavour, up to 24 g of Protein and and up to 4400 mg of BCAAs, die fur die Ziele, which are extremely suitable amounts for achieving objectives such as muscle building, muscle definition, losing fat and weight management.

For whom is the 100% Rice Protein suitable?

The rice protein is ideal for persons who wish to meet their daily protein requirements and increase their intake. As a pure vegetable product is involved here, it is ideal for vegans and vegetarians. The rice protein, which is considered hypoallergenic, is also an excellent alternative for allergy sufferers who, for example, cannot tolerate milk or soya products. Moreover, it is free from lactose. Only gluten-free ingredients are used.

With which products can the 100% Rice Protein from MySupps be suitably combined?

1. With the My Supps Maltodextrin, in order to replenish the carbohydrate store before or after a workout.
2. BODY ATTACK CREAZ, in order to build up more speed strength during the training phase and to produce a higher performance level.
   
3. My Supps 100 % EAA Powder for the optimisation of the amino acid Profile.
4. My Supps 100 % BCAA plus L-Glutamine in order to meet the amino acid requirement.

The ideal protein shake, not just for vegans
Although there is a wide range of vegan foods such as tofu on offer, there is a definite lack of vegan protein powders. My Supps 100% Vegan Protein is suitable for training beginners and also hobby and professional athletes. This product makes it easier to satisfy the daily protein requirements of a healthy and balanced diet.

Highlights

• Pea protein with an 80 % protein content
  
• Delivers more BCAAs per 100 g than beef
  
• High content of L-Glutamine, L-Aspartic acid and L-Leucine
  
• Free of lactose
  
• Good alternative to milk proteins (e.g. casein or whey)
  
• Without added aromas, sweeteners or thickening agents
  

100 % Natural Vegan Protein is another product in the My Supps Natural Series. It is pure protein powder, offered entirely free of additives. The neutral products have high biological value and effectively support muscle growth. Among them 100% Natural Vegan Protein, which appeals to a broad target group.

In addition to vegetarians and vegans, people with lactose intolerance and Muslims seeking to do without products from animal protein sources can benefit from this vegan protein. The neutral powder, mixed with water or a low-fat soy drink to produce a shake, supports the preservation of normal bones and muscles in addition to boosting muscle growth.

Muscles can only grow in a positive energy balance. Even if fat delivers the greatest volume of calories, proteins remain the basic building blocks that the body uses to produce muscle. Fat and carbohydrates do not have this capacity, although they deliver energy to ensure that the metabolic processes run smoothly. This also includes building up muscle mass.

The vegan protein powder can promote the preservation of muscle during phases of diet. Reduced calorie intake during these phases means that increasingly, the body?s own muscle proteins are used in the form of energy as the body seeks to restore equilibrium in the energy balance. And if it receives inadequate amounts of energy from outside, the body will fall back on its own reserves such as muscle proteins.

This is prevented effectively by taking My Supps 100 % Natural Vegan Protein. It means the muscles you worked so hard at developing will be preserved even during a diet.

Which products can I combine sensibly with My Supps 100% Natural Vegan Protein?

1. With My Supps 100% Soy Isolate to balance the limited amino acids and hence to boost biological value.
   
2. With My Supps 100% Maltodextrin to cover the increased calorie requirements during a growth phase and to quickly replenish the carbohydrate reserves.
   
3. With the My Supps Flavouring System for an improved taste.
   
4. People seeking to lose weight can also produce a mix with the BODY ATTACK Energy Kick to further optimise fat metabolism.

Sufficient supply with protein is one of the most important conditions for successful strength training. During training, the body need proteins for the supply of energy; after training, the proteins are used as the most important building blocks in the growth of new muscle mass. But protein is not just involved in the growth of new muscles, it also plays a role in the preservation of already existing structures. MySupps 100 % Natural Casein offers proteins in a high concentration, which additionally supply the body with amino acids for a particularly prolonged period.

MySupps 100 % Natural Casein offers a high ratio of BCAAs, the amino acids that are of relevance for the protein metabolism. The special feature of the product is the creation of gel-like structures in the stomach, hence ensuring that the amino acids are released into the blood in a slow but steady stream. The body can be supplied with amino acids for up to eight hours in this way. This helps strength athletes prevent any deficiencies in the supply of amino acids during longer competitions or demanding training sessions. Additionally, the drink has a particularly high satiety effect.

In each 100 g, the product MySupps 100 % Natural Casein contains 89.1 g of protein, of which BCAAs account for 18.1 g. Further, the dietary supplement only contains 0.2 g of carbohydrate and 1.2 g of fat, meaning that the drink can also be taken without any concerns during diet phases. Dietary supplements such as this help strength athletes cover their daily requirements in amino acids and other important nutrients.

It is recommended to take the product as a pre-workout or post-workout shake. To make a shake, mix 20-30g of the powder into 200-300 ml of liquid with a high carbohydrate ratio (e.g. fruit juice) or skimmed milk, and take both before and after intense exertion.

What products can I combine sensibly with My Supps 100 % Natural Casein?

• With My Supps Flavouring System aromas for different kinds of delicious protein shakes.
• In combination with the BODY ATTACK Magnesium plus Calcium, a mineral supplement that can help to maintain normal muscle function.
