Build Muscle – Fast!
Recover Faster

Gain More Strength
Utilizes a Revolutionary Carbohydrate Source!

Omega Sports has re-launched itself with the introduction of Omega ONE: Optimal Nutrition Enhancement.

So sure are we of this product, that we have staked our entire company on its shoulders. We firmly believe ONE will become the pre and post workout product of choice for the masses. Here’s why: When formulating ONE, we were faced with literally infinite possibilities. We could have created the end-all, be-all of supplements, but of course the price would have been astronomical.

So we set some priorities. First, we wanted this affordable. Check. Second, we wanted this to include the necessities to facilitate muscle recovery, growth and hydration. Check. Third, we wanted to keep the formula relatively simple...you simply do not need 37 different ingredients in your pre and post workout choices. Check. Lastly, we wanted this to be the best tasting Leucine based product around. Check mate.

Let's start off with Leucine. Now leucine is about a sold-school as you can get. But, few things, if any have shown the ability to potentate protein synthesis (muscle growth) as well as leucine has in controlled, human studies and real-world feedback. Quite simply, leucine is the most anabolic nutrient available today. Not very sexy, but research shows it works and works well.

Next is the carbohydrate source. Remember the endless possibilities? Well choosing a carb source is easier said than done. Whether it be simple maltodextrin or dextrose or the new 'designer" carbs such as palatinose or trelahose, everyone and their mother has an opinion on what the best carb source is and how to incorporate it in an anabolic cocktail.

For ONE, we went with Hydrolyzed Rice Syrup. Now before you freak out and associate 'syrup' with high glycemic sugars, let me tell you that HRS is indeed a low-glycemic carb source. We strongly feel the HRS will be the next big thing in the bodybuilding community. Here's why:

The company who makes this product primarily markets it as an oral re-hydration solution for people with dehydration from acute or chronic diarrhea. They often can't absorb any food at all, and glucose-based drinks aren't effective or just make them worse. The rice-based carb, however, gets rapidly absorbed and doesn't seem to have the side effects (gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort) of the glucose drinks. This is significant for athletes as well.

HRS is made up of both short and long chain carbohydrates, so it has the advantages of BOTH simple and complex carb sources. It enters the bloodstream faster than glucose, but because of the different chain lengths it doesn't spike insulin like maltodextrin or dextrose.

HRS works better than any other carb source we know of to shuttle nutrients into the muscle cells without insulin spikes, bloat or simple sugars. Welcome to "force feeding" your muscles!

And that is just the beginning of all the benefits of HRS to athletes!

We then rounded out ONE with Glutamine AKG for superior recovery and a very substantial dose of KIC and L-Phenylalanine.

KIC together with L-Phenylalanine and Leucine round out the perfect trio for anabolism. Research shows that they all work in conjunction to further facilitate muscle recovery and growth over the same components when used by themselves.
When compiled together, the individual ingredients in Omega ONE are incredibly synergistic.

Never before has a single pre or post workout product held as much potential as Omega ONE. We do not hide behind outrageous gimmicks and proprietary blends. Get ONE today and take your body to the next level!

HRS is made up of both short and long chain carbohydrates, so it has the advantages of BOTH simple and complex carb sources. It enters the bloodstream faster than glucose, but because of the different chain lengths it doesn't spike insulin like maltodextrin or dextrose.

The HRS short chain carbs that get absorbed very quickly, and thus will raise insulin levels enough to prevent catabolism and lower cortisol levels. But the insulin spike will not be so severe that it leads to body fat accumulation, as could potentially happen when huge amounts of glucose polymers are absorbed at one time. HRS is different because in addition to the short chain carbs, it also has longer chain metabolites that are absorbed at the brush cell border (after the short chains have already been absorbed) along with electrolytes and water. Thus it provides both the immediate impact on insulin and a more sustained impact over time.

The company who makes this product primarily markets it as an oral rehydration solution (ORS) for people with dehydration from acute or chronic diarrhea. They often can't absorb any food at all, and glucose-based drinks aren't effective or just make them worse. The rice-based carb, however, gets rapidly absorbed and doesn't seem to have the side effects (gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort) of the glucose drinks. This is significant for atheletes as well.

You see the rehydration quality of a carbohydrate is measured by its OSMOLALITY. Dextrose and maltodextrin have osmolality measurements of 350, whereas HRS has a measurement of <235! That is almost 70% better than dextrose, glucose or maltodextrin.

Muscle glycogen is massively depleted during your workouts. By using the HRS pre and post workout you will be combating fatigue better than dextrose and maltodextrin can do. Not only that, but HRS contains natural electrolytes. Electrolytes in turn speed up the absorption of amino acids into the bloodstream and cells where they can be used for muscle growth.

Because there is a direct correlation between the rate at which amino acids enter the blood stream and muscle growth, HRS theoretically will result in greater muscle growth than dextrose or maltodextrin. Several studies show that the faster amino acids and creatine enter the muscle cell, the greater the muscle growth.

In summary:

Better absorbed
No huge insulin spikes that can lead to fat gain or sluggishness
Better Hydration
Contains natural electrolytes
Shuttles nutrients into muscles faster than other carb sources
Theoretically will lead to faster muscle gains than other carb-based products

Welcome matpal!

Nice to see you here. If you don't remember me, I we exchanged e-mails about creating a product a while back. This product definitely has my interest.

[Garzanamos]

This looks like it should be pretty good, will there be any samples for us to try??

samples would be great!!

[AuggieC]

looks cool. good luck with it

[lionelxxl]

Hey Mat, awesome looking product you brought out there. 1 question though, is this product meant to be taken as it is, immed pwo or is it better off stacked with a quality whey product?

I understand that you wanted a leucine only product but wouldn't a full range of amino acids be much more beneficial?

If we go by what this product was intended for, leu only and pwo, did you have something like this in mind:

Immed PWO: 1-2 servings ONE
20-30mins PWO: Whey shake with mod/low gi carbs?

[B-natural]

sounds promising, samples do help, at least send some to the mods, we can spread the word :D

Yes, we do recommed stacking it with protein for maximum benefits. We wanted to keep cost down and thing people like taking their tried and true favorite protein anyway, so that is what we did.

I like to bookend the workout session with 2 scoops of one and 1 serving of protein.

problem is, this is not an instant gratifcation product like a stimulant or something. So samples would really be pretty useless.

Maybe some testers would be a different story...

Sounds good to me. I nominate B-Nat for testing:D .

[B-natural]

hmmmm, well this is interesting, I posted an article in the science section on glutamine/leucine. Not to downplay your supp in the least, but I thought that equal ratio's of the 3eaa's was good, otherwise it was inefficient or toxic to the body. the 2:1:1 ratio Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine

[solomon1979]

BTW, I'm really liking the ingredient profile on this one. Omega One appears to be pretty solid. How's the taste?

Thanks Matt. I'd love to give it a go as well. I've been on REPLENISH the past 3 weeks and its workoing awesome. Would love to see how this matches up to that.

[RisingAgainst]

I'll second that one :)

[bigpetefox]

There are many similar traits, only Replenish has protein in it while ONE has 5g.. You want to compare? Mix 2 scoops ONE with 40g whey isolate like Scivation Substance, or Syntrax Nectar.. ;)


How you been, Matt?

Yup, planning to do that pete. Will be getting it soon.

For those sulking and complaining about its price, do note that its for 60 servings (i'll be taking 2 scoops per serve so it'll come up to 30days). And these 30 days are just WORKOUT days! If you workout 4 times a week, this tub will last you close to 2 months. Not dirt cheap, but ain't as expensive as you thought.

[matpal]

Excellent point.

B-nat, email me your info and I will get a jug out to you.

Some initial feedback:

Here is some very initial feedback on ONE:

I've used for a total of about 3-4 workouts so far, as well as incorporating into meals with shakes. Trust me when I say this thing is phenomenal when used pre, or peri workout. ONE delivers more of a consistant workout PUMP than anything I've ever used. Trust me, I've used a lot and have experimented with quite a few NO products. Anabolic Pump even, there is some overall fullness, but nothing has held a candle to Omega ONE. Gym members must think I'm crazy because I think I've literally LOL after a couple sets that first day or two. I'm not a pump junkie by any means, yet I really like whatever is happening here....link (http://forum.*****************/showthread.php?t=1986031)

===================

I trained legs on friday, and although I'm very limited to what I can do with my current training situation, I hit them harder than I've done in the last couple of months and to my surprise I got very little DOMS in the coming days. Very pleased with this product so far...

I decided to split my dose up yesterday, 1 scoop pre/intra and the other post. WOW he was correct on the pump thing. Very profound. Also I had quite possibly the best chest/tri workout I've had in months. Every single thing I did felt light and I easily pushed through my sets and was still fired up at the end so I did some yard work...
link (http://forum.*****************/showthread.php?t=1899031)

=================

Workout = Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Total sets = 30
Total time = 80 minutes
Strength - 5/5
Stamina - 5/5

Another great workout. I had a crazy pump going, and I had a ton of energy. I set a couple of PRs as well, so I was extremely happy with todays workout....link (http://forum.*****************/showthread.php?t=1927161)

===================


Right now, these are the only three people running logs, but I am very confident feedback will only get better and better with time!

what about post workout with glucophase?

[Brent]

Excellent point.

B-nat, email me your info and I will get a jug out to you.


Lucky!........

[lionelxxl]

Excellent point.

B-nat, email me your info and I will get a jug out to you.

Would love to try it out too.. ;)

it'll be great comparison to REPLENISH. Protein source aside, it'll be a battle of the carbs.

Do log it b nat!

[matpal]

what about prost workout with glucophase?

I think that would be a bit overkill.

[txcrusher]

i thought it was somewhat of like geting an insulin spike right after a workout? and glucophase is to help with insulin uptake or resistance?
