Aftershock Xtreme Powerzone Nutrition (300g)

Powerzone Nutrition's AFTER SHOCK Xtreme is a unique sports supplement designed to speed muscle recovery and growth following intense exercise.

 

 

AFTER SHOCK Xtreme is formulated based on the documented scientific studies on four important amino acids/compounds Arginine, Hmb, Glutamine, Creatine. However we have taken this combination and literally super-charged it by combining state-of-the-art amino acids peptides and bonded substrates to enhance the uptake and bioavailabilty of this already effective combination!

AFTER SHOCK Xtreme is no doubt the most advanced formulation available on the market, let's take a closer look at what makes it so special.

Five unique ingredients working synergistically to speed muscle recovery like never before.

This is not your standard arginine mixed with standardHmb it is actually the amino acid Arginine bonded to the substrate Hmb! This bond enhances the bioavailability of both compounds and is superior to taking each separately. The scientific research conducted on both Arginine and Hmb is well documented and they do appear to work at a higher level when combined, so you can't get any better than a pure bond of Arginine-Hmb! This is total synergy.

Once again this is NOT your standard Creatine Monohydrate mixed with some Hmb. This is three Creatine molecules bonded to Hmb designed specifically to increase uptake of both components by the muscle cells. There are also numerous scientific studies that sight the positive benefits of combining these two compounds for increasing lean muscle mass, strength and recovery. Imagine what the effects may be when actually bonding three Creatine Molecules to Hmb! 

No doubt you have read or heard about the amazing benefits of supplementing with the amino acid L Glutamine for bodybuilding purposes. We have taken L Glutamine and bonded it to the Krebs cycle intermediary Alpha Ketoglutarate to enhance its effectiveness. Alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) plays a vital role in the Krebs cycle production of energy as it stabilizes blood glucose levels during exercise. It benefits the athlete by supporting protein synthesis, allowing for longer, more intense workouts, and by promoting healthy nitrogen balance.

Studies of patients given supplemental AKG following surgery found a nitrogen-sparing effect and a reduction in loss of lean body mass. AKG helps reduce ammonia levels that may interfere with exercise performance. Glutamine is formed from Glutamic acid and AKG, so by combining L Glutamine with the Krebs Cycle Intermediary AKG we can increase cellular glutamine levels.

Glutamine supplementation is highly popular, and for good reason - it works! Faster recovery, increased cell volumisation, increased growth hormone levels and ultimately more muscular growth. However, it is possible to improve on regular L-Glutamine. Using the latest advances in amino acid technology our industry partners have been able to make a superior form of glutamine called N-Acetyl-Glutamine. N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine is more stable and readily absorbed form of L-Glutamine that increases plasma levels greater than free form L-Glutamine. Ref.New developments in glutamine delivery. Furst, P et al. J Nutr. 2001 Sep;131(9 Suppl):2562S-8S.

L Alanyl-L-Glutamine is a dipeptide of the two amino acids L- alanine and L-glutamine, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine (Ala-Gln). Compared to L-glutamine (Gln),L Alanyl-L-Glutamine  improves viable cell growth, and increases cellular hydration preventing muscle break down after intense exercise. Furthermore,

Ala-GLn itself dramatically reduces the level of ammonia, which is a byproduct of L-Glutamine degradation. Ala-Gln is very soluble in water and stable in solution, therefore it can be utilized to deliver the benefits of glutamine in an easy to mix powder. While many amino acids can be converted into glucose, Alanine and Glutamine are the primary glycogenic amino acids(can be converted by the body into glucose to produce energy). Because amino acids are converted into glucose at different rates, a mixture of glycogenic amino acids permits the blood glucose levels to maintain over a longer period of time. Gluconeogenesis is the process of converting amino acids, lactate and glycerol into glucose for the brain. Mainly this occurs in the liver, although some gluconeogenesis also takes place in the kidneys. This is of vital importance to athletes as low blood sugar when undergoing intense exercise can increase the chances of lean muscle being used for energy.

Muscle Recovery
Because L Alanyl L Glutamine is a Di-Peptide it has in fact been used on numerous occasions in hospitals for critically ill patients who are faced with severe muscle wasting and exhaustion. Because Ala-Gln not only offers enhanced energy production and hydration it also offers protection from muscle wasting.

AFTER SHOCK Xtreme takes post workout recovery to an entire new level. The formula is based on scientific research and uses the latest development in peptide amino acids to speed muscle repair after intense workouts. There is no need to make false claims about these ingredients because there are tons of scientific research papers available to confirm the effectiveness of the combination of these ingredients.
Never before has there been such a comprehensive formula that delivers maximum doses of key amino acid peptides to your muscles.

AFTER SHOCK Xtreme contains all five ingredients in much improved forms and takes this already proven formula to a whole new level. Let's take a look at some of the scientific research. Keep in mind this research is conducted on patients who are not even exercising in any way! Imagine the results when combined with a solid training and nutrition program!

Study 1. HIV patients gained average of 3kgs lean mass in 8 weeks with arginine / hmb / glutamine "Nutritional treatment for acquired immunodeficiency virus-associated wasting using beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, glutamine, and arginine: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study."

RESULTS: Forty three subjects completed the 8-week protocol, (placebo, n = 21; HMB/Arg/Gln, n = 22). At 8 weeks, the subjects consuming the HMB/Arg/Gln mixture gained 3.0 +/- 0.5 kg of BW while those supplemented with the placebo gained 0.37 +/- 0.84 kg (p = .009). The BW gain in the HMB/Arg/Gln-treated subjects was predominantly LBM (2.55 +/- 0.75 kg) compared with the placebo-supplemented subjects who lost lean mass (-0.70 +/- 0.69 kg, p = .003).

Study 2. Cancer patients losing up to 3lbs/month of lean mass gained an average of 1.2kg Fat Free Mass (over 2 lbs) in 4 weeks. Control group continued to lose muscle. "Reversal of cancer-related muscle wasting using oral supplementation with a combination of Hmb, arginine, and glutamine."

RESULTS: Thirty-two patients (14 control, 18 HMB/Arg/Gln) were evaluated at the 4-week visit. The patients supplemented with HMB/Arg/Gln gained 0.95 +/- 0.66 kg of body mass in 4 weeks, where as control subjects lost 0.26 +/- 0.78 kg during the same time period. This gain was the result of a significant increase in fat free mass in the HMB/Arg/Glutamine-supplemented group (1.12 +/- 0.68 kg), whereas the subjects supplemented with the control lost 1.34 +/- 0.78 kg of FFM (P = 0.02).

Study 3. Creatine and beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) additively increased lean body mass and muscle strength during a weight-training program. RESULTS: In summary, CR and HMB can increase LBM and strength, and the effects are additive. Although not definitive, these results suggest that CR and HMB act by different mechanisms.

Study 4. Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate ingestion, Part I: Effects on strength and Fat Free Mass. RESULTS: Although the IRM strength gains were not significantly different, HMB supplementation appears to increase peak isometric and various isokinetic torque values, and increase fat free mass and decrease plasma CPK activity.
