Garbage Performance Beverage
Garbage Performance Beverage Drink Garbage - Get Big. Get Strong. Get Garbage! • The first “add to bottled water” all-day performance beverage • Easy to pour single-serve packets - 30 per container • Two refreshing flavors - Fruit Punch and Lime Aid • Designed for peak energy, strength, recovery and hydration • Convenient - can be taken anytime, anywhere. Up to 3 times daily Taking supplements isn’t difficult but choosing which one to take and when to take it can be. There are pre-workout formulas, post-workout powders, recovery aids, nighttime compounds and everything in between. All of these supplements are designed to take at a specific time and if they aren’t they lose much of their effectiveness. In a perfect world you would drip nutrients gradually into your system, intravenously priming the blood stream for performance. This would create the anabolic environment every athlete strives for. Enter Garbage®. Garbage® maintains that perfect world environment by priming your system the same way an IV would except it uses water as the means of delivery…more specifically - bottled water. Every serious athlete carries a bottle of water and not just during their training but all day long. Hydration is the key component for optimal muscular function. Garbage exploits this in a positive way by providing cutting-edge ingredients and nutrients necessary for pre, during and post-workout through the use of easy-to-use, single serve packs that can easily be added to any bottled water. The concept of priming the body’s performance needs, by piggy backing the H2O you drink, is where Garbage® break new ground. Garbage® is the original all-purpose, all day, “add to bottled water” supplement. It combines everything you need to gain size, add strength, prolong endurance and increase energy & intensity in just one single-serve packet. Garbage’s refreshing flavors makes hydration a pleasure as well. In a nutshell, Garbage® gets you big and gets you strong…and tastes terrific doing it. What to expect when you drink Garbage?: The Energy: Garbage delivers a steady flow of energy through the water it’s mixed with. Along with the increased energy you will feel mentally alert with a heightened sense of well-being. The onset is subtle but then you realize you feel extremely motivated and ready to work but you don’t feel jittery. This will help push you through the mental & muscular fatigue associated with intense training. The Strength: As you consume Garbage through the day (up to 3 times daily) and as the days pass, you begin to notice better exercise efficiency, stronger muscular contractions and expanding muscle cells in the way of increased blood flow and better protein synthesis. Now you are working out longer and harder and the feeling of added strength breeds motivation by default. The Recovery: With a steady supply of essential recovery nutrients coursing through your body, your testosterone and GH levels rise, protein synthesis is increased, damaging cortisol levels are reduced and all your blood sweat and tears in training are rewarded with new muscle growth, increased strength and greater work capacity. The Hydration: Often overlooked but never disputed as the king of muscular performance - Hydration. Drinking Garbage maintains an ideal intracellular environment, priming the body for better muscular contractions, reduced muscle soreness, increased protein synthesis, and a reduction in early onset muscular fatigue. Ultimately, these are key components to getting big and getting strong. Make sure you get garbage? Ingredient Breakdown: Garbage (TM) Strength/Recovery Enhancers: Tri-Creatine Citrate L-Taurine Glutamine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AKG) Vitamin C Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AKG) Zinc Citrate L-Carnosine Garbage (TM) Energy/Hydration Enhancers: L-Tyrosine Caffeine Glucuronolactone B-Complex blend Potassium Glycerophosphate Magnesium Glycerophosphate Sodium Ingredient Descriptions: Tri ? Creatine Citrate Tri-Creatine Citrate: A highly soluble form of creatine, which is bound to citric acid, thus providing a much greater increase in creatine bioavailability over regular creatine monohydrate. The citric acid helps circulation of tricarboxyl therefore producing more ATP. The compound is three parts creatine bound to one part citric acid which simply means you are getting more creatine by weight than with di-creatine products. Taurine Taurine is the second most abundant amino acid in muscle and is the most voluminous amino represented in striated type 2 muscle fiber. Taurine can act similarly to creatine in that it expands your cells by helping the muscle cell itself hold more water, increasing cell volume. Bodybuilders benefit because expanded muscle cells can increase hydration resulting in a higher rate of protein synthesis causing the appearance of muscle fullness. Glutamine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AKG) Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. It’s concentration is four times greater than all other amino acids. It is metabolized in nearly all tissues and is found in high concentrations in the brain and muscles where it has multiple functions critical to athletic performance. Exercise creates a deficit in the body’s glutamine stores making a possible decrease in muscle protein synthesis. This contributes to the muscle wasting seen in severe illness and trauma and can also happen with intense exercise .Glutamine helps the metabolic processes associated with recovery as well. Recovery is paramount to muscular hypertrophy. Garbage uses Glutamine AKG, a more advanced an easily absorbed version of L-Glutamine. Vitamin C Vitamin C is an essential vitamin to the human body and is probably one of the most important vitamins. Vitamin C keeps testosterone levels high by making the ratio of cortisol to testosterone decrease. There are many additional benefits attributed to Vitamin C, including strengthening of connective tissue, aiding in the healing of wounds, and increasing the performance of the immune system. Some studies even show that Vitamin C reduces ones stress level. Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (A-AKG) A:AKG is a powerful growth enhancing hemodilator that has been scientifically formulated to boost nitric oxide levels in the body resulting in a dramatic increase in muscle size, strength, endurance, power output, load capacity and a perpetually pumped up physique. This ingredient synergizes the effects of creatine. L-arginine, when administered in the correct doses, stimulates pituitary release of growth hormone. Zinc Zinc is involved in several hundred enzymatic reactions, and assists the function of several hormones, such as growth hormone, testosterone and insulin. It is essential to cell division, growth, and repair. Zinc helps with digestion and increases the production of protein. It also helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels in the body. Low zinc intake can adversely affect sex hormones and lead to muscle atrophy. Recent studies show that people who work out and exercise are more likely to be Zinc deficient and, consequently, need more Zinc. L Carnosine Carnosine is great for those of us who want to increase the intensity of our exercise and elevate the training threshold in activities characterized by prolonged periods of anaerobic work. Carnosine (beta-alanyly-L-histidine) is a combination of two amino acids, histidine & beta-alanine. Carnosine has relatively high concentrations in skeletal muscle. Studies have shown that athletes supplementing with Carnosine were able to both work-out longer and harder. L - Tyrosine Tyrosine is a precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine, as well as a precursor to the adrenal hormones norepinephrine and epinephrine. L-tyrosine helps athletes avoid overtraining, due to its ability to offset fatigue. Because L-tyrosine is a precursor of Dopamine, L-tyrosine heightens mental alertness, increases feelings of well being, and will offset physical and mental fatigue. People suffering from obesity may benefit from supplemental L-tyrosine as well. The thyroid is responsible for the manufacture of thyroxin and L-tyrosine influences the manufacture of thyroxin, which influences basal metabolic rate. Because of this, L-tyrosine may prove effective for weight loss. Caffeine Caffeine is a stimulant to the Central Nervous System. It creates energy and mental alertness. When combined with physical activity caffeine intensifies performance while at the same time delaying the onset of musclular fatigue. Glucuronolactone Glucuronolactone (glucuronic acid lactone) is a natural metabolite found in the body. Glucuronolactone not only supplies energy but it is purported to fight fatigue and also increase a sense of well-being. Glucuronolactone has been clinically proven to reduce sleepiness and sleep-related car accidents. It improves mental performance, reaction time, concentration and memory. B Complex These include thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin, folic acid and the cobalamins (vitamin B12). In the stomach B-vitamins help absorb and digest macronutrients, which in turn help you get more out of what you eat. They have individual properties too. B6 is a good for your liver, B9 is good for facilitating absorption in cells, and B12 is needed for energy. Potassium Glycerophosphate Potassium (K) is a mineral that performs many functions in the body. Potassium plays a key role in the function of nerve firing and muscular contraction. Potassium helps reduce muscle soreness and a deficiency may result in decreased strength, and the early onset of exercise induced fatigue. Potassium helps to regulate water balance and is also needed for the synthesis of dietary proteins. Potassium Glycerophosphate is one of the most absorbable and bioavailable forms of potassium available. In the glycerophosphate form, the potassium is highly soluble in water. Magnesium Glycerophosphate Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell of your body. About half of your bodys magnesium stores are found inside cells of body tissues and organs. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body including maintaining normal muscle and nerve function. It is also involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Supplementation is deemed necessary for anybody training daily
