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.

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
  
• High biological value

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.

BODY ATTACK 100% Casein Protein
The BODY ATTACK 100% Casein Protein is different from other milk protein supplements on the sports market: Through this milk protein mixture, a protein content of 90% can be achieved. Thus, the casein protein is ideal to maintain muscle mass and build up new muscles.


Moreover, the BODY ATTACK 100% Casein Protein (30 g powder per serving) contains less than 1 g lactose, and less than 0.5 g fat. This makes it ideal for people who prefer a low-carb or low-fat diet. BODY ATTACK Casein Protein is also suitable for people who are affected by mild or moderate lactose intolerance.

BODY ATTACK 100% Casein Protein powder is not only well soluble in liquid, but also impresses with its creamy taste. Therefore, it can also be cooked in water with reduced calorie intake instead of skimmed milk.

What are the other substances still active in the BODY ATTACK 100% Casein Protein?

The BODY ATTACK 100% Casein Protein contains a BCAA content of about 17 g per 100 g of powder and is rich in amino acids. Moreover, the casein proteins are rich in calcium, which plays an important role in muscle function and also provides for a normal function of the digestive enzymes. Calcium is also actively involved in energy metabolism of the nutrients. The BCAA, and the L-Glutamine contained serve as essential building blocks for the body to synthesise body tissue, hormones, enzymes, and neurotransmitters. Since the amino acids are the building blocks of the endogenous proteins, these amino acids are also involved in build-up and maintenance of muscle mass.

Which products can the 100% Casein Protein be combined with best?

• With the BODY ATTACK Omega-3 capsules, essential fatty acids, which can contribute to the normal heart function.
• With the BODY ATTACK Clarinol CLA capsules, polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels through the diet.
• With the BODY ATTACK Daily Vital capsules and tablets to ensure all the necessary essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and fatty acids are supplied through the diet.

As a result, some of your hard-earned muscle mass may soon waste away. And that is precisely what you need to protect against.

When people speak of amino acids in relation to dietary supplements, the terms non-proteinogenic or proteinogenic amino acids are used.

The body draws on proteinogenic amino acids in order to build up body tissue, while the non-proteinogenic amino acids are found more frequently in bodily fluids (e.g. Taurine, Beta Alanine).

20 amino acids are currently known, and they may form elements of thousands of protein compounds in the body. Eight of these compounds are essential to the body. This means that the body cannot produce them itself and is reliant on absorbing them as part of daily nutrition.

My Supps Power Amino Liquid delivers the important amino acids in a liquid form. This is intended to ensure that the body is better able to absorb and exploit the constituents.

My Supps Power Amino Liquid is a protein hydrolysate. The porcine proteins were broken down in their constituent parts, the amino acids, by enzymatic reaction. Amino acids represent the basic building blocks for proteins and hence supply the body?s protein metabolism. My Supps Power Amino Liquid can therefore serve as a natural support and dietary supplement with protein-enhanced nutrition. Sufficient protein intake of should represent the basis for anyone wishing to build muscle mass. After all, nutritional proteins contribute to the growth of muscle mass.

Worth knowing: What other substances are active in My Supps Power Amino Liquid?

This product is enriched with additional vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 plays an important role in the human body and is involved in the energy metabolism.

This vitamin can also influence functions within the protein metabolism and the exploitation of Cysteine. Cysteine is an amino acid found in human tissue such as hair, skin and the nails. It is also needed for normal cell division and blood formation.

My Supps Power Amino Liquid is available in the flavours orange and cherry.

Which products can I combine sensibly with MySupps Power Amino Liquid?

1. In combination with BODY ATTACK Vitamin C Depot plus Zinc, because the water-soluble vitamin and the mineral contribute to normal collagen formation, protein synthesis as well as normal cartilage metabolism
   
2. With BODY ATTACK Power Protein 90, to increase biological value and help build muscle mass.
   
3. Together with BODY ATTACK Calcium plus Vitamin D3, because calcium is needed to maintain normal bones and vitamin D is required to preserve normal muscle function.

My Supps 100% L-Citrulline Malate is suitable for athletes placing a strain on their energy and protein metabolism due to high levels of physical exertion. This is due to the fact that in periods of exertion such as sport, ammoniac forms as a result of the break-up of muscle protein, hence leading to premature fatigue. Additionally, My Supps 100% L-Citrulline Malate is suitable for persons consuming low levels of energy while exposing their bodies to significant exertion.

Worth knowing: What is Citrulline?
The name Citrulline comes from Citrullus vulgaris = the watermelon, as high concentrations of this amino acid are found in the rind of this fruit. Citrulline is responsible for important bodily functions. For instance, it is a player in the urea cycle, which takes place mostly in the liver and kidneys. The urea cycle is an important element of the protein metabolism, as build-up and break-down processes take place there. This is where useless proteins are broken down, hence producing acidic metabolites such as ammoniac. The body must dispose of this ammoniac to ensure smooth functions of the energy and protein metabolism. After all, the enzymes asked to build up proteins and energy-rich substances such as creatine phosphate and adenosine triphosphate in the body respond very sensitively to acids.

Worth knowing: What is Malate?
Malate is an organic fruit acid, also known as ?salt of malic acid?, and is found in unripe fruit and in wine. The body also produces the organic compound in the so-called tribcarboxylic acid cycle, in which all important biochemical reactions take place and also all endogenous substances can be replenished. in this, Malate is an intermediate product and is used as a carrier substance for the processes of building up and breaking down as they progress. Seeing as the body is familiar with this substance, it can be drawn easily into its own metabolism.

It is frequently said that organic compounds can be absorbed more easily by the body than anorganic compounds that the body is unable to produce itself. In My Supps 100% L-Citrulline Malate, the Citrulline molecules are bonded with the organic compound Malate to enable the body to absorb the Citrulline more readily.

Which products can be sensibly combined with My Supps 100% L-Citrulline Malate?

• With My Supps 100% Arginine, an endogenous amino acid, also involved in the regulation of the acid alkaline balance and in replenishing NO
• With My Supps 100% Creatine Monohydrate, which can increase performance during brief and intense muscle training
• With My Supps 100% BCAA + L-Glutamine, a popular amino acid supplement, taken preferably before and after intense strength and endurance training

My Supps L-Arginine Powder is suitable for mixing into protein shakes and can also be taken with fruit juice. It is pure Arginine powder without any additives.

Arginine is one of the semi-essential amino acids and is therefore crucial in some of the body?s metabolic situations. As endogenous production is not always sufficient, it must be consumed with our daily nutrition. For instance, Arginine is found in prawns, chicken, soy beans, tuna and hazelnuts.

Arginine plays a role in the production of the substance NO (nitric oxide), which causes the blood vessels to dilate that in turn is involved in the tension of blood vessels, blood flow and circulation of blood in the organs.

Furthermore, Arginine also participates in the replenishment of creatine in the liver, from where it is transported to the muscles, heart and the brain via the bloodstream. Creatine allows the body to produce the high-energy substance adenosine triphosphate, hence maintaining the energy metabolism. Additionally, the creatine phosphate reservoirs in the muscles can hence be supplied continuously with new creatine molecules. There may be an elevated need for creatine, especially while dieting or after training.

The amino acid is not merely involved in the production of creatine and NO, it is also involved in the hormone metabolism. The discovery of Arginine?s biochemical properties prompted significant interest, particularly among bodybuilders and strength athletes. My Supps L-Arginine Powder is now among the most popular amino acid supplements in strength sport and is preferably taken before and after training. The increased protein metabolism also makes it one of the standard supplements for competition.

This is because Arginine is involved in the urea cycle in the liver, in which larger numbers of acidic metabolites such as ammoniac accumulate. They must be removed from the metabolism to ensure that the protein and energy metabolism can continue undisturbed.

Worth knowing: Who should take particular care to ensure sufficient consumption of Arginine?

Given that Arginine is one of the semi-essential amino acids, endogenous production is insufficient in some situations, and the body is reliant on intake with our nutrition. Children in growth phases, pregnant women, people with weak immune systems, chronic illnesses or patients with arteriosclerosis and competitive athletes should all take care that their Arginine intake is sufficient.

Which products can be sensibly combined with My Supps L-Arginine Powder?

• With MySupps 100 % Whey Isolate, a whey protein without additives, which can contribute to preserving and building muscle mass
• With MySupps 100 % Citrulline, a non-essential amino acid, the precursor to Arginine, that flows into the Arginine metabolism
• In combination with MySupps 100 % CEE, a certain form of creatine designed to enhance performance during brief and intense strength training

The My Supps 100% L-Arginine HCL delivers 5,000 mg pure Arginine per daily serving. L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. Thus, L-Arginine can be synthesised endogenously, however under certain circumstances, such as high intensity of physical exertion, stress, during a diet or build-up phase the body might not be able to produce the amount that is needed.

Function of L-Arginine in protein metabolim
In the protein metabolism L-Arginie plays an important role in the urea cycle. It helps with the detoxification of ammonia that is excreted as such via the kidneys during protein degradation.


Foods that are rich in L-Arginine
Nuts, legumes and pork contain high amounts of L-Arginine. In a one-sided, unbalanced diet or during a strict diet phase, L-Arginine can be a a useful dietary supplement.

MySupps 100% Essential Amino Acids contains the essential amino acids Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine, Tryptophane, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Lysine and Methionine. Essential means: vital for humans as the body is unable to produce these amino acids itself.

Worth knowing: What are essential amino acids?
A total of 20 amino acids are known, acting as the smallest building blocks in proteins and assuming a variety of tasks within the body. A distinction is made between essential, semi-essential and non-essential. The first are vital for the human organism, as the body is unable to produce them itself. The semi-essential amino acids are only essential in certain situations, as the body is unable to produce sufficient quantities by itself, e.g. during illness or significant exertion during sport. The body produces its own non-essential amino acids. This is why they require no supplement in daily Nutrition.

Worth knowing: What effects do amino acids have on the body?

• Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are among the BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids). They are involved in the energy metabolism.
• Tryptophane plays a part in important metabolic processes.
• Threonine is a significant building block in many proteins and is found with particular frequency in collagenic connective tissue. It shares responsibility for strong bones and teeth and also for elastic sinews and tendons. Threonine is also involved in the immune system, as it is an important building block in antibodies.
• Among other things, Phenylalanine is a precursor substance for the amino acid Tyrosine, which is produced in the liver. It plays a part in the production of insulin, melanin and the thyroid gland hormones.
• Like Threonine, Lysine is also important for the stability of collagenic connective tissue and is also an element in many enzymes, hormones and antibodies. Lysine is also involved in the production of L-Carnitine and therefore indirectly influences lipometabolism.
• Methionine plays a part in many detoxification processes in the body and also in the regulation of the acid alkaline balance.

What products can I sensibly combine with MySupps 100% Essential Amino Acids?

1. With BODY ATTACK Power Protein 90, which can improve building and preserving muscles during intense muscle training.
2. With MySupps 100% Creatine Monohydrate, which can improve performance in brief muscle training.
3. With L-Arginine 6000, which activates blood flow of the muscles during training.

Carnosine, produced after intake of Beta Alanine, can help balance the Carnosine reserves and postpone acidification of the muscles. It is therefore particularly suited to athletes wishing to prevent premature muscle fatigue.

100% Beta Alanine by My Supps is a non-essential amino acid of natural prevalence which bonds with the amino acid Histidine upon entering the body. In general, Histidine is always present in the body, provided nutrition remains rich in protein, e.g. by consuming sufficient food stuffs such as chicken, soy beans and tuna.

Carnosine is produced in the body from the bonding between the added amino acid Beta Alanine and the endogenous amino acid Histidine.

Carnosine has the task of buffering and neutralising hydrogen ions. This buffering means that the pH value in the muscles does not sink, hence preventing any acidification and premature muscle fatigue.

Lactic acid is produced in large quantities, especially during brief, intense training such as weight training.

100 % Beta Alanine by My Supps is also ideal for people wishing to maintain a carbohydrate-rich nutrition while eating only small amounts of white meat.

Worth knowing: What is Carnosine?

Carnosine is found primarily in the white muscle fibres, where it joins with magnesium and calcium in normal regulation of the pH value.

Athletes with short, intense bursts of strength exertion especially have higher Carnosine reserves due to the anaerobic metabolism.

Exertion during anaerobic training means that the body gets out of breath, hence producing an oxygen deficit. Although carbohydrates are burned mainly in this metabolic situation, it does lead to an accumulation of lactic acids.

Lactic acid slows down the flow of energy and forces the muscles to prematurely discontinue strength exertion.

Carnosine and the mineral play an important role in maintaining the pH value of the muscles, primarily by neutralising the accumulated acids. This stabilises the pH value at 7 and hence preserves ongoing production of energy in the muscles.

This means: The muscles will be in a position to produce greater quantities of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from creatine phosphate (KP) during short and intense training exertion.

ATP is the direct muscle fuel while training; it can be produced from fats, carbohydrates and also proteins. During explosive power training or weight lifting, the main sources of energy are carbohydrates and creatine, as they are able to supply the largest quantities of energy in the shortest time.

Given that anaerobic metabolism goes hand in hand with oxygen deficiency and the production of lactic acid, the body is forced to use Carnosine and the minerals in order to safeguard the flow of energy. After all, ATP deficiency would endanger the survival of muscle cells.

This is why the body produces Carnosine in the fluid spaces where more acids are produced during metabolic processes.

Carnosine, magnesium and calcium ensure that normal energy metabolism can continue in the musculature. The two minerals also contribute to normal protein synthesis and regular muscle functions. This is why it is recommended to complement My Supps 100% Beta Alanine by taking BODY ATTACK Magnesium + Calcium.

Which products can be sensibly combined with My Supps 100% Beta Alanine?

1. With My Supps Creatine Ethyl Ester Malat, which can enhance physical performance during brief and intense explosive power training
   
2. With My Supps 100% Dextrose, a pure dextrose concentrate to replenish energy reservoirs after intense training
   
3. With My Supps L-Arginine, an endogenous amino acid that fulfils a key function in the protein metabolism and in the production of creatine

The My Supps 100%* Beta Alanine provides the body with amino acids which are synthesised in various body tissues, especially in muscles, to form the natural buffer substance, Carnosine. Carnosine is responsible for a stable pH in the muscles under physical training. This is because the muscles can become acidic during workout, decreasing the pH and causing a burning sensation in the muscles. Should the muscles stay strong, they must have an optimum pH.

Worth knowing: What is Carnosine?
Carnosine is found mainly in the muscles. Carnosine stands for the Latin word "Carnis" and means meat. In the daily diet, we take Carnosine mainly in the form of white meat (e.g. chicken). It does not occur in plant foods such as whole-grain bread, pasta, etc. Carnosine is also responsible for a stable pH in the muscles under physical training by neutralising the acidic hydrogen ions and the lactic acid resulting in short and intense plyometric workouts.

Nowadays, the functional properties of Carnosine and beta alanine are increasingly known in performance and leisure sports. Therefore, particularly athletes subject to short and intense physical strain use such amino acids supplements like My Supps 100% Beta Alanine. Many athletes also combine it with BODY ATTACK 100% Pure Creatine and BODY ATTACK Calcium + Magnesium, as the mentioned nutrients are involved in the energy metabolism (ATP synthesis) and muscle contraction.

Worth knowing: What is beta alanine?
Beta alanine is a non-essential amino acid, which serves as an intermediate carrier in the body and is synthesised in various body tissues to form the natural buffer substance, Carnosine. If insufficient amounts of beta alanine amino acid are present in the body, the body cannot synthesise enough Carnosine during muscle metabolism. Beta alanine occurs in white meat (e.g. turkey, fish) at low concentrations. In a low-meat and high-carbohydrate diet, the uptake of beta-alanine may be insufficient. Therefore, Beta Alanine from My Supps may be a useful dietary supplement to the daily diet.

Beta alanine can be useful especially for athletes who subject their muscles during training to brief and intense physical strain. For example, for power-endurance athletes, such as sprinters, weightlifters, bodybuilders, martial artists, boxers, swimmers, track and field athletes, ice hockey players, basketball players, etc.
