FOOD SUPPLEMENTS

VITAMIN C FOOD SUPPLEMENT Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) plays a very important role for our body because it stimulates cellular metabolism, acts as a catalyst in cellular respiration and is useful for collagen formation (intercellular cement of connective tissues), which is fundamental to maintain cartilage tissues, blood vessels, bones and teeth elastic. Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant: increases resistance to infectious diseases, contributes to recovery from physical fatigue and fights nitrosamines.

Glutamine Peptide is a more soluble and stable form than normal glutamine (1,5 g of glutamine peptide correspond to about 4,5 g of normal L-Glutamine). Dipeptides are used for Total Parenteral Nutrition as released forms of L-Glutamine. Since high concentrations of L-Glutamine find difficulty in solubilizing in water (1 g dissolves in 28,4 ml of water at 300°C), the choice of glutamine peptides helps to solve the problem. Glutamine Peptide is one of the most essential amino acids and is definitely the most required nutrient by athletes. It has an immune modulatory and anti-catabolic / anabolic activity (prevents the breakdown of muscle proteins after hard training and forms others), it also acts to protect the intestinal mucosa barrier, can be an antioxidant, favours recovery and increases cell volume, being vehicle of water and other nutrients.

ZMA™ is an anabolic action supplement made with Zinc Monomethionine, Magnesium and Vitamin B6, dosed according to the original American patented formula (Patent 4,764,633). ZMA™ is a natural product, clinically tested, which significantly increases hormone levels; in fact, Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6 are helpful nutrients in cases of food shortages or increased requirements that may occur in active and dynamic people. ZMA™ supplement, born from the studies conducted by researchers Brilla and Conte from Western Washington University in California, was the most used by American Olympic athletes in the last Olympic Games. The research has shown that Zinc Monomethionine is the most absorbed and effective saline form. In muscle development sports, Zinc, in addition to its involvement in the plastic function as a muscle and bone constituent, is the cofactor of an enzyme that plays an important role in the anaerobic metabolism of lactic acid. Zinc also stimulates the secretion of growth hormone (GH or somatotropin) and, by binding to hemoglobin chains, increases its affinity for oxygen favoring aerobic metabolism.

AMINO 4-Complex is a branched chain amino acids (B.C.A.A.) sport supplement with Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate enriched with Zinc Monomethionine and Vitamin B6. It facilitates the development of muscle mass, the recovery from fatigue and provides energy in endurance and power sports. In particular, branched chain amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) make up 30% of muscle protein and are a source of primary energy in muscle tropism. AMINO 4-Complex contains Zinc Monomethionine, a combination in which zinc is linked to the essential methionine sulfide amino acid and constitutes a fundamental catalyst for important metabolic processes, including: protein synthesis, cognitive function, fatty acid metabolism and DNA reproduction. AMINO 4-Complex intake is indicated for athletes during diets and in times of definition to compensate for nutritional deficiencies and/or increased metabolic demands. In fact, the amino acids immediately bioavailable can be taken to elevate blood concentration, both before training and during physical activity or even at the end of work-out to restore natural reserves. With the nitric oxide synthase enzyme, Arginine participates in the conversion to citrulline, producing nitric oxide which acts as a vasodilator and is also involved in the endogenous synthesis of creatine.

Hyalo is a supplement based on hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, which offers numerous benefits for joint health and skin beauty. By combining these ingredients, Hyalo can improve joint mobility, reduce pain and signs of skin aging, while promoting a younger appearance and healthier skin. Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes up a significant portion of the body's connective tissues, including skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones. The hydrolyzed collagen used in Hyalo is a form of collagen that has been broken down into smaller peptides for better absorption. It helps maintain the integrity and strength of joints, reducing joint pain and improving mobility. It improves skin elasticity and hydration, reducing wrinkles and promoting a younger, healthier appearance. It supports skin tissue regeneration. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body's connective tissue. It has the unique ability to retain large amounts of water. It lubricates joints and connective tissue, reducing friction and pain. It supports the regeneration of cartilage tissue and improves joint function. It deeply hydrates the skin, keeping it soft and supple and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, promoting brighter, healthier skin. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin essential for collagen synthesis and acts as a powerful antioxidant. It supports collagen production in joints, contributing to their strength and integrity. It has antioxidant properties that protect joints from oxidative stress and stimulates collagen synthesis in the skin, improving its elasticity and firmness. It reduces damage caused by free radicals and promotes an even and radiant complexion. Recommended dose : take 1 capsule per day.

ASHWAGANDHA 60 CPS ANDERSON Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also known as Indian ginseng, is a herbaceous plant in the Solanaceae family. It is a small shrub with yellow flowers and red, berry - like fruits. Withania somnifera has been used for over 3,000 years. It has been a key component of Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine in India, where it is considered a Rasayana, or rejuvenating herb, believed to promote longevity and vitality. It has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its adaptogenic properties, or its ability to help the body manage stress. The root and berries of the plant are the parts most commonly used to extract withanolides, the plant's primary active compounds, which are responsible for many of Ashwagandha's benefits. Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Ashwagandha, thanks to its adaptogenic properties, can help reduce levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, helping to improve stress management, reduce anxiety, maintain high energy levels and reduce fatigue. Improved cognitive function: useful for improving memory, concentration and cognitive abilities, thanks to its neuroprotective properties. Immune System Support: May improve immune function due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Improved Sleep Quality: Ashwagandha is often used to promote restful sleep and improve overall sleep quality. The benefits of using Ashwagandha in sports are diverse and may include supporting the increase in muscle mass and strength as well as improving aerobic and anaerobic endurance, increasing exercise capacity and reducing post-workout recovery time. As an adaptogen, Ashwagandha helps the body respond better to physical stress, making athletes more resistant to intense and prolonged efforts. Recommended dose : take 1 capsule per day with a glass of water.

Gymnema sylvestre is a plant with multiple health properties, in fact, the gymnemic acids present in the dry extract reduce the absorption of sugars in the digestive tract, helping to stabilize glucose levels and avoiding glycemic peaks. Furthermore, they reduce the desire for sugary foods and contribute to better control of body weight. Alpha Lipoic Acid and Banaba improve the sensitivity of cells to insulin, facilitating the entry of glucose into muscle and fat cells; this effect helps reduce blood glucose levels. Cinnamon contains bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, which may improve insulin sensitivity. Berberine, which is a key regulator of energy metabolism, improves insulin sensitivity. Chromium contributes to normal blood glucose levels. Directions: Take 2 tablets a day with a glass of water.

Fish Oil is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, minerals and trace elements. Omega 3, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids (EPA / DHA), are beneficial natural substances, characterized by antiplatelet, vasodilator and antioxidant actions. Omega 3 promotes blood circulation with high-density lipoproteins formation, enabling the removal of cholesterol deposited in the arteries, whereby protecting the heart and reducingthe risk of heart attack. Vitamin E helps to protect cells from oxidative stress.

Alpha lipoic acid is classified among the fat soluble vitamins with the peculiarity to function both in fats and in the liquid (water). Lipoic acid has two main functions: acts as a coenzyme in cellular metabolism and protects the body from oxidative stress. Due to these its antioxidant lipoic acid may be useful for muscle protection from oxidative damage, resulting exercise. Lipoic acid would therefore be useful in the sports field to the antioxidant action so far described, and for that metabolic-energy acting on the improvement of performance and strength, thanks to its ability to stabilize blood sugar levels and simultaneously increase the availability of sugars used by the muscle for energy production. These features make the lipoic acid useful during diets being able to optimize the consumption of carbohydrates. ALA-FX also contains Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10, along with two powerful antioxidants which can further prevent the formation of free radicals and promote muscle development.

Bromelain is a complex of enzymes that helps digest proteins, and is particularly effective in breaking them down into peptides and amino acids. Bromelain is active in a wide pH range, being stable and functional in various conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. One of the distinctive characteristics of bromelain is its ability to remain active even after oral intake, partially resisting degradation by gastric acids and intestinal enzymes. The benefits of Bromelain are many and include: • Anti-inflammatory Properties - Bromelain is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It is often used to reduce inflammation and swelling associated with sports injuries, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. It works by reducing the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and thromboxane. • Improved Digestion - Bromelain aids in the digestion of proteins, helping to reduce symptoms of dyspepsia, such as bloating and flatulence. It is especially useful as an adjunct for people with pancreatic insufficiency, as it helps compensate for the lack of digestive enzymes. • Anti-Edemic Effect - This enzyme is effective in reducing tissue edema caused by trauma or surgery. It works by improving lymphatic drainage and reducing fluid accumulation in tissues. • Immunomodulatory Action - Bromelain has shown positive effects on the immune system, modulating the immune response and potentially improving resistance to infections. It can influence the activity of white blood cells and promote immune response. • Cardiovascular Support - Some studies suggest that bromelain may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health by helping to prevent platelet aggregation. Bromelain is a versatile supplement with multiple health benefits, supported by several scientific evidences. Its ability to reduce inflammation, improve digestion and support the immune system makes it a great ally for wellness. Recommended dose: take 1 capsule daily with a glass of wat

Integrator in soluble powder of the amino acids Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine with Vitamin B6 and without sugars, formulated to facilitate the recovery from fatigue and provide energy in sports of strength and power. Branched amino acids (BCAA or leucine, isoleucine and valine) make up about 30% of muscle proteins. A presence so abundant within the muscles prefigures a great importance in metabolic processes so that the BCAA is attributed, by many researchers, the ability to stimulate the release of some hormones of our body. BCAAs can be used by our body to build muscle proteins; the increase in the release of hormones allows the body to promote faster growth of the muscles and certainly reduce recovery between workouts. Vitamin B6 performs its functions on energy metabolism, as it participates as a coenzyme for the transformation and utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is also essential to activate the release of stored energy reserves in the form of glycogen in muscles and liver. Closely related to this aspect is the contribution of vitamin B6 in combating states of tiredness and fatigue. The intake of AMMO ZERO is useful to increase the blood concentration of BCAA both before training, both during physical activity or even at the end of training to restore the natural reserves.

Glutammene is a food supplement available in both powder and tablets, containing 100% L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine is one of the most important body amino acids: it is present in large amounts and takes part in determinant metabolic roles. It enables the formation of cellular energy reserves in certain tissues, such as muscles, and rienforces the immune system by releasing ATP. In fact, it participates in protein synthesis and helps to increase muscle cell volume, attracting water and electrolytes within them. After an intense physical workout, due to protein catabolism, muscles can lose up to 40% of their glutamine reserves with a consequent reduction of muscle mass. Under physical stress conditions or illness and especially under intense muscle training, the muscle can produce lactic acid and ammonia, a toxic substance that glutamine is delegated to eliminate. Therefore, it is evident how important it is to have a correct integration with a source of glutamine.

Crea-6 contains six different forms of Creatine: Creatine Pyruvate, Creatine Taurinate, Creatine Hydrochloride, Creatine Monohydrate, Creatine Alkaline and Tri-creatine Malate. It’s a food supplement particularly suitable for sports people. With a daily intake of 3 grams, Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise. This formula is enhanced with the MealshapeTM Ceylon Cinnamon extract.

100% CREATINE CREAPURE® Creatine monohydrate in tablets and powder Createne Simplex contains the purest form of Creatine, the monohydrate one (Pure Creatine Creapure). Creatine monohydrate, in tablets or soluble powder, in its purest form (purity 99,5 / 99,9% – HPLC – Pharmaceutical grade), is an amino acid derivate found in many high-energy foods (200 g of red meat bring about 1 g of creatine). Creatine is synthesized in the liver and its distribution in skeletal muscle tissues is important to increase energy levels of cellular substrates. When energy reserves are needed in dealing with repetitive muscle strain, its intake can improve muscle contractile power, recovery, strength, muscle volume and can increase the fatigue and energy threshold. Its purity grade and the absence of harmful substances to the body, make it perfect even in the case of prolonged intake. Createne Simplex is useful in cases of food shortages or increased needs that may occur in active and dynamic individuals and is particularly useful in vegetarian and low-meat diets.

CLA (CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID) Omega-6 essential fatty acid Conjugated Linoleic Acid is an Omega-6 essential fatty acid, very important for many metabolic functions.Linoleic Acid contributes to the maintenance of normal levels of blood cholesterol. Its antioxidant properties and its ability in stimulating lean body mass and reducing the fatty one are known. It only contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid CLARINOL CLA 80. This fatty acid, called Conjugated Linoleic Acid helps the preservation of lean body mass at the expense of fat deposits, encouraging the use of fat for energy and so a saving of muscle glycogen.

XAMIN is characterized by a formulation that contains all essential amino acids (Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Lysine, Methionine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Phenylalanine), which our body cannot synthesize and therefore must be taken with food. Essential amino acids optimize plastic-structural synthesis with their proteic nitrogen intake, improve muscle growth, increase strength and endurance and facilitate post-fatigue recovery. Xamin integration is useful for athletes who generally require more protein fraction and is really useful in low calorie diets aimed at weight loss fatigue recovery. Xamin provides a protein content equal to that in 500 grams of defatted meat and has about 40 calories. Its correct intake reduces the feeling of hunger, promotes weight loss, helps to maintain ideal weight, keeps tissues firm and elastic and is useful in providing a supplement to the diet in cases of reduced supply or increased need of these nutrients. Therefore, Xamin intake is indicated in sports, while on a diet and in times of definition to compensate for nutritional deficiencies and/or increased metabolic demand.

HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) is a natural substance produced in the body as a derivative of the branched LEUCINE. Not being an essential molecule can be synthesized by the body as needed and all'introito the diet. It can be used for anti-catabolic and anabolic activities that would promote the increase in lean body mass when combined with body building. Decrease, also, protein catabolism and facilitate recovery processes, would increase lean body mass when combined with weight training exercises would lower cholesterol levels, would increase muscle strength and improve performance. The mechanisms of action of HMB may be either a direct intervention in inhibiting muscle catabolism induced by the stress of exercise, or act indirectly with its deficit in muscle tissue that occurs during physical stress. Here is the idea of its supplementation with the intent of slowing the catabolism and accelerate muscle anabolism.

BRANCHED CHAIN (B.C.A.A.) AND GLUCOGENIC AMINO ACIDS TRIAMIN, with branched chain(B.C.A.A) and glucogenic amino acids, is a food supplements particularly useful for athletes and people involved in muscle strengthening, where a higher muscle growth and fiber repair is required. This formula provides, in the metabolism anabolic phase, the nutrients needed for muscle growth and fiber repair and glycogen stores rebalancing; in fact, glucogenic amino acids(glutamine-alanine-glycine) help both in energy release and in post-workout recovery. The integration of the various nutrients also helps the optimization of the proteic fraction required by the body and provides energy for the work-out, especially in anaerobic activities. The special glucogenic amino acid mix present in Triamin helps both recovery and sports performance improvement. Alanine is not only used for a plastic purpose, but even as a carrier of nitrogen groups to purify the body. Glycine and Alanine can also participate in a faster glucose synthesis and they consequently provide a higher energy reserve during exercise. Triamin contains all three branched chain amino acids ( leucine, Valine, isoleucine) that have the advantage compared to other amino acids, of not being absorbed directly by the liver, arriving in high percentage directly to muscles.

REACT is a dietary supplement that releases a considerable amount of energy both immediate and prolonged in time, thanks to a balanced formula in which simple and complex carbohydrates (VITARGO® in particular) interact synergistically with Taurine and Carnitine. Mineral Salts and Vitamins make ReACT especially suitable in aerobic sports in which fluid losses are significant and not sufficiently reintegrated just with water. The amino acid Taurine improves oxygen exchange between blood and tissues, facilitates fatty acids mobilization and burning, allowing a saving of glycogen and the possibility of maintaining energies longer. Taurine also reduces fatigue, maintains a high sense of wakefulness and response to stimuli, very important requirements during workouts with an improvement of muscle contractility and physical recovery. Acetyl L-Carnitine helps to restore aerobic energy and to metabolize fatty acids, facilitating long chain lipids passage within the mitochondria where oxidation takes place with energy production. It is particularly useful when energy is reduced up to 60% with age due to the decrease of mitochondrial activity. Its intake can improve performance and lower triglycerides levels; therefore, it allows fat mobilization using it for energy.
