Product features Betalmax - MAXIMIZE

Beta alanine - an important amino acid as it is part, together with histidine, in the synthesis of carnosine. Carnosine is a very important dipeptide in the cellular economy (especially muscle), as it acts as a buffer against the acidosis that occurs at the muscular level following rapid and intense exercises, which require the activation of the metabolism anaerobic lactate.

In fact, several studies show that supplementation with B-alanine can increase muscle carnosine pull, concentrated mainly at the level of white fibers (characterized by a predominantly anaerobic metabolism), highlighting how this amino acid is the factor limiting the synthesis. Given the role of beta alanine, several researchers have experimented with its use in sports, recording a decrease in pH, post-training lactic dehydrogenase levels and the sensation of fatigue, with a consequent improvement in athletic performance.

It should be emphasized that these results were obtained in short and intense training, while there were no particular benefits in endurance performance, nor in improving the body's ventilatory capacities.

L-Taurine - defined as a conditionally essential amino acid, actually differs structurally and functionally from other amino acids. It originates in the presence of Vitamin B6, starting from sulfur amino acids such as methionine and cysteine, mainly in the liver; subsequently it is stored in skeletal muscle, cardiac and cerebral level. The quantity of taurine produced endogenously, estimated at a maximum of 400mg / day, seems to be insufficient for athletes, given the reduction in muscle pull and the increased urinary excretion, which is observed following exercise. Vegans represent another risk category, for which its integration could become necessary. While not falling, like other amino acids, in protein synthesis, taurine is still included in other important biological reactions, such as the synthesis of bile salts and the maintenance of cellular hydrosaline homeostasis; it also performs a cardioprotective, immunoregulatory and antioxidant action.

Supplements based on this molecule are generally used to benefit from the energizing effect, which however is not scientifically proven. The improvement in athletic performance is mainly due to the antioxidant effect of taurine, which by reducing the oxidative insult derived from intense exercise can preserve cellular functionality and support athletic performance.

Arginine ketoisocaproate : ester of the conditionally essential amino acid arginine. Arginine is produced endogenously in the liver and kidneys, starting from ornithine and citrulline, in quantities not always sufficient to satisfy the daily requirement; however, this can be easily achieved through a healthy diet, being present in good quantities in peanuts, legumes and meats. Arginine plays a central role in various biological functions, ranging from protein synthesis to the urea cycle, from regulation of the immune response to creatine synthesis, ending with an induction action on the release of GH (growth hormone) and nitric oxide (powerful vasodilator). These last two functions also represent the goal that athletes wish to achieve with oral supplementation.

It is important to remember that numerous studies have evaluated arginine incapable of stimulating GH secretion in healthy individuals subjected to physical exercise, while the ergogenic capacity of this amino acid, when associated with antioxidants and creatine, and catabolic, if associated, appears to be more realistic. to BCAA.

Rationale for use in sports

Beta alanine: several studies have shown effective integration of this amino acid, in improving performance in intense exercises, in delaying the feeling of fatigue, by buffering the acidosis that occurs during intense physical activity.

Taurine: it has been shown for taurine, an important role in the protection against damage induced by intense exercise, with a decrease in markers of oxidative and cellular damage, and consequent improvement in performance.

Arginine: from the various studies the ergogenic and myoprotective role of this amino acid emerges, while the stimulating function on the release of GH in healthy and trained individuals is somewhat uncertain.

Recommended use by the company - Betalmax - MAXIMIZE

Take 1-2 capsules a day, before training.

Use in sports Betalmax - MAXIMIZE

Beta-alanine : the dosages proposed by the various studies are between 4 and 6 gr / day, divided into different assumptions, for at least 3 weeks

Taurine: in various studies, the most effective dose to counteract the oxidative damage induced by intense exercise is that of 3 grams per day

Arginine: also for this amino acid, the proposed dosages vary a lot, remaining in a range between 2 g and 8 g / day. However the most accredited dosage seems to be that of 3 gr / day for at least 4 weeks, divided into various moments.

Given the concentration of the various elements in this supplement, it is particularly difficult to reach the doses used in sports. For example, to reach the 3 grams of taurine it would be necessary to take 12 capsules a day, which however would give a quantity of beta alanine greater than 6 grams, with the related side effects (redness, heat, paresthesia)

The association of beta alanine with taurine in the same supplement is quite unusual.

In fact, several studies show that intestinal transporters for taurine PAT1 and TauT are also effectively linked by beta alanine.

Concomitant administration of these two amino acids could therefore give rise to competition phenomena for intestinal receptors, with a consequent reduction in the availability of both.

Betalmax side effects - MAXIMIZE

Taurine: Not yet well documented are the side effects of this substance, which seems to be safe at a dose of 3 grams per day. However, cases of hypertension are documented.

Arginine: The most common side effects, recorded in large doses, are vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps at doses above 9 grams per day. Massive doses, generally higher than 30 g, may originate nephrotoxicity, hypotension, headaches.

Beta alanine: doses higher than 10mg / kg, can cause skin redness, heat and paraesthesia.

Precautions for use Betalmax - MAXIMIZE

The product is contraindicated in cases of renal or hepatic disease, cardiovascular disease and / or hypertension, during pregnancy, lactation and under 12 years.

Drug interactions could be achieved with antiepileptic and anti-pumping drugs.
