Find out exactly what the 8 never before combined Bioactives in Clout™ are and
what they do:
What Is It? Orotine™ (Tricreatine orotate) complex is a proprietary 3:1
molar ratio of creatine to Orotic Acid. In Clout™ its inclusion is at a dose to
deliver the exact dose of creatine proven to enhance muscle creatine stores.
Orotic Acid (OA) is bond to creatine and also supplied to exactly match orotic
acid doses in human studies shown to enhance performance [10]. So why do
creatine and OA work so well together? And how do they work in synergy?
How Does It Work? Declining muscle pH can detrimentally affect muscle
function and one possible way to prevent this decline is by enhancing the
systems that prevent this fall. Think FIRE-EXTINGUISHER. Two central components
of these systems are phosphocreatine and carnosine. True to form Clout™ yet
again delivers the exact dose of creatine shown to elevate muscle
phosphocreatine levels.
Clout™ also provides the exact level of Orotic Acid shown to work effectively on
three levels:
1. Enhancement of performance. This may have been achieved by a selection of
Mechanisms but of most importance is as a precursor for carnosine synthesis. In
fact research proves that Orotic Acid is very much a nutrient that can increase
muscle carnosine levels [11].
2. Orotic Acid has been shown to increase muscle Uridine levels. Work by
Rosenfeldt et al. (1998) showed under hypoxic (lack of oxygen) conditions (found
following anaerobic exercise) elevation of intramuscular Uridine levels
increased muscle phosphocreatine and creatine levels 38% and 3%,
respectively[12]. Elevated Uridine levels, a RNA base, have been shown to
increase muscle contractile capacity.
3. Lastly, Orotate salts being neutrally charged pass easily through cell
membranes [13]. In effect, orotate shuttles the mineral atoms into cells and
tissues, producing higher concentrations. Considering the creatine’s inherent
issues with bioavailability and stability bioavailability, orotic acid is
advantageous in resolving those issues. OA thus improves creatine’s efficacy and
rate of target tissue saturation of phosphocreatine.
That's Not All...Orotic Acid Has Been Proven To:
1. Enhance and Maintain ATP pools
2. Increase Glucose Uptake
3. Increase Ribose Moieties (R-1-P & R-5-P) Leading to Enhanced Ribose Formation
4. Increased Muscle Carnosine Stores
5. Support and Enhance Muscle Hypertrophy (via RNA synthesis support during
growth)
What Evidence For Performance Effect?
Golf et al. (1998) carried out a human trial using again the exact dose
delivered with Clout™ [10]. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of
Magnesium-Orotate on swim, cycling and run performance. Performance was enhanced
with supplementation but backing up the influence of orotate rather than
magnesium was the measured lower hydrogen ion levels. This is suggestive of
enhanced buffering capacity via orotate by elevated muscle carnosine contents.
Therefore, these two ingredients may set off each others functions in many ways.
Orotic Acid and creatine both enhance your muscles buffering capacity, literally
putting out the fire. As an added bonus orotic acid may help preserve creatine
levels during intense hypoxic (lacking oxygen) exercise [12].
Bioactive #3 Beta-Alanine
What Is It? Beta-alanine is the direct precursor and to date the most
effective enhancer of carnosine. This exciting nutrient is making a major impact
in the sports nutrition arena thanks to BodyOctane High Voltage™ and has been
proven to be effective in humans for enhancing muscle performance [14]. As
previously mentioned, Clout™ has placed in the exact amounts of each ingredient
proven by research to enhance performance and the content of Beta-alanine is no
different. Many other companies are now figuring out what MAN has spent years
researching and formulating in our products, calling beta-alanine the “next
creatine”.
How Does It Work? Beta-Alanine works by enhancing the buffering capacity
in our muscle. It does this by elevating carnosine stores a highly effective
cellular pH buffer [14, 15]... In fact the most effective cellular pH buffer.
What Evidence For Performance Effect?
In 2003 Harris et al.[13] investigated Beta-alanine supplementation and its
influence on the capacity to undertake intense exercise normally associated with
lactate accumulation [14]. The dose of beta-alanine delivered in Clout™ enhanced
maximal workout puts over a 4 minute maximal exercise test. Again authors
suggested these beneficial performance effects down to increased muscle
buffering capacity which aids the maintenance of muscle pH.
Bioactive #4 N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)
What Is It? Acetyl group donation as mentioned earlier a donor of acetyl
groups could radically impact performance by activating the PDH complex. One
such acetyl donating nutrient is the antioxidant N-Acetyl cysteine. However, the
great effects of NAC don't stop at delivering acetyl groups.
How Does It Work? N-Acetyl Cysteine again is a powerful antioxidant and
its main influence on muscle damaging free radicals is its influence at
enhancing muscle and other cell glutathione levels [15]. Secondly, it can also
provide acetyl groups which could be used for entry into the Krebs cycle and
energy generation overcoming deficiencies in the PDH complex.
What Evidence For Performance Effect? There are two immense
supplementation studies that show the influence of cysteine donors on
performance. Sen et al. (1994) gave 200 x 4mg/day of NAC and an 800mg bolus
before a maximal bike test [16]. Clout™ delivers probably the highest amounts of
NAC in any sports supplement many times above the cysteine and acetyl groups
delivered in these studies! OK back to the outcome of the Sen study, NAC
resulted in a higher net post exercise antioxidant capacity [17]. But can
elevating oxidative capacity through cysteine donation influence performance?
The answer is simply YES! A study presented at the ACSM on whey protein
delivering similar cysteine levels to those in Clout™ improved muscle fatigue
during fatiguing leg extension exercise [18].
Bioactive #5 Inositol HexaPhosphate (IP6)
What Is It? IP6 is simply inositol hexaphosphate where 6 phosphate groups
are bound to a 6 carbon skeleton (the backbone in organic chem.).
IP6 is a novel phosphate donor, which reduces the GI distress of traditional
mineral phosphate loading. This compound is being studied for its
anti-carcinogenic effects and further promoted by longevity researchers. As far
as IP6 is concerned, research has shown that IP6 a compound ingested is actually
IP3 as the bio-active (and what's in the cell) with the anti-carcinogenic
effects. This means 3 phosphates are "freed" and hence donated. Phosphate
"donation" would theoretically lead to enhanced athletic performance as
mentioned below. IP6 is one of those exciting compounds if you read on the
longevity sites and far more beneficial than just as an ergogenic. AMP
(adenosine monophosphate) in the mitochondria of the cell requires one more
phosphate to make ADP, and yet another to produce ATP. ATP is your basic energy
molecule and perhaps the most essential in the idea of ergogenics and athletic
performance. Phosphate maybe one of, if not the most important mineral
constituent required for cellular activity due to its biological interactions
with metabolic intermediates and energy producing compounds. Changes in cellular
phosphate levels have been linked to enhanced exercise capacity time and time
again. Supplementation is a proven method to achieve this guaranteed performance
effect.
How Does It Work? There are many possible Mechanisms proposed for the
proven influence of phosphate including:
1. Phosphate-stimulated glycolysis (enhanced energy production capacity)[19]
2. Increased red blood cell 2,3-DPG levels (Enhancing oxygen delivery to working
muscles)[20]
3. Enhanced creatine phosphate synthesis (increased creatine stores)[21].
Therefore, it is easy to see how phosphate addition can further extend the
influence of Clout™ as the ultimate creatine and performance enhancer.
What Evidence For Performance Effect? There are many studies proving the
performance enhancement of phosphate loading for athletes. Kreider et al. (1992)
assessed the influence of 1000mg of phosphate 4 times a day for 3 days or a
maltodextrin placebo. The results backed many other studies and showed that
phosphate loading could enhance maximal exercise performance (40km time trial).
Bioactive #6 Vinpocetine
What Is It? Vinpocetine is an extract from lesser periwinkle plant (Vinca
Minor). Because we know exercise performance is related to our ability to
generate ATP and deliver oxygen the possible enhancing influence of Vinpocetine
on these energy-generating systems made its inclusion in Clout™ essential!
How Does It Work? Vinpocetine has been shown to be effective by
increasing 2,3 DPG levels (Oxygen delivery capacity)[24], ATP (energy
levels)[25], and antioxidant activity[26].
What Evidence For Performance Effect? The effects on exercise performance
of Vinpocetine at this point do not exist. What dose exists for the effects in
human studies looking at enhancing chemicals that we know can elevate
performance capacity. In a study by Tohgi et al. subjects were given 15mg of
Vinpocetine per day (a dose lower than that contained in Clout™) for 3 weeks
[25]. By the end of the supplementation period there were huge increases in
cellular ATP as well as an increase in 2, 3 DPG [25].
Bioactive #7 Magnesium Orotate
What Is It? As we described at the beginning of this article magnesium is
inextricably linked to countless cellular functions. As such the importance of
magnesium as a performance enhance cannot be denied [27]. It has been research
for several decades now with postoperative cardiac surgery patients with
phenomenal success in the form of magnesium orotate, which is also called
magnerot. [28] Magnesium plays a number of roles in the body, being required for
more than 325 enzymatic reactions, including those involved in the synthesis of
muscle protein, as well as muscular contraction and relaxation (including the
heart). The synthesis of ATP depletes magnesium-dependent enzymes, known as
ATPases. Further, a large-scale survey of athletes in one study were
significantly deficient in magnesium, at only 70% of RDA on average. [29] The
RDA, does not even represent optimal nutrient intakes for performance
athletes/bodybuilders, meaning they may have only been getting half as much as
they needed.
How Does It Work? Clearly, the safety and efficacy is apparent in that it
is used in hundreds of studies and often with a critically fragile population.
Further, this is human data…not rats…not extrapolated interpretations of some
“similar compound”. So many compounds being released by the supplement industry
may be unsafe or lack efficacy where there is no relevant study data published
at all. Magnesium-Orotate pushes the performance enhancing potential of Clout™
through the roof!
What Evidence For Performance Effect? In a recent study on magnesium
restriction with athletes over 3 months the results were dramatic. For a given
workload, peak oxygen uptake, total and cumulative net oxygen utilization and
heart rate all were significantly increased during the study period. The amount
of the increase direct correlation to the degree of magnesium depletion. These
results show in dramatic form the impact of deficiency of this crucial mineral
on performance. [30]
Bioactive #8 Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL (ALCAR)
What Is It? To quote the Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR): “Supplemental
acetyl-L-carnitine may have neuroprotective activity. In addition, it, like L-carnitine,
may have cardioprotective activity and may beneficially affect cardiac function.
It may enhance sperm motiliy. Acetyl-L-carnitine may also have cytoprotective,
antioxidant and anti-apoptotic activity.” [31]
How Does It Work? ALCAR has a more a rapid and efficacious nootropic
effect over standard carnitine because it crosses the blood-brain barrier
better. The improved mental performance (nootropic) effect of acetyl L-carnitine
often is seen with mood enhancement or well-being. ALCAR and carnitine have
numerous important roles in humans. These nutrients shuttle both acetyl groups
and fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production, thereby yielding an
ergogenic effect. With the absence of carnitine, fatty acids cannot easily enter
into mitochondria.
What Evidence for Performance Effect? The acetyl group of acetyl L-carnitine
is used to form acetyl-CoA, the primary intermediary in the production of energy
from amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates. Therefore, acetyl L-carnitine acts as
an energy reserve of acetyl groups and both acetylcarnitine and carnitine help
enhance ergogenesis for the athlete. The acetyl group of acetyl L-carnitine is
also used to make the critical neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Research also
shows that ALCAR may act as a neurotransmitter itself. [32,33,34]
