Carbonox™ during most important moments… YOU WILL NOT LACK ENERGY!

Carbonox™ - unique composition based on the most effective carbohydrate sources.
Carbonox™ is based on carefully combined carbohydrates sources, selected according to precisely defined profiles of the rate of digestion and release of monosaccharide into the bloodstream. The proportions of carbohydrate sources selected by a laboratory of high (glucose) and medium (maltodextrins) and low (innovative isomaltulose of extended release period) glycemic indexes ensure the stable saturation of the blood with the energy ingredients for a period of 2 hours from the time of taking the preparation.

The universal application – designed having in mind the needs of the most demanding users: before, after and during exhausting training.

The universality of the composition makes Carbonox™ a product, which can be successfully taken both after and during training, constituting a continuous source of energy for continuing long-term sports exercise. The high content of isomaltulose and maltodextrins ensures maintaining a stable insulin level during exercise, at the same time guaranteeing a stable effective supply of necessary energy ingredients for the working muscle cells.

The idea of using a comprehensive carbohydrate formula in Carbonox™ is also based on the assumption of the quickest possible and optimally high saturation of blood with monosaccharide, which is so necessary after exhausting training. The quick supply of easily absorbable energy ingredients in a state of the extreme exhaustion of the body ensures the highest possible utilisation of the body’s regeneration abilities, achieving the peak values during the post-training "anabolic window" (20-40 minutes after the end of exercising). The use of isomaltulose of extended release results in more effective regeneration of glycogen resources, because glucose and fructose released during its decomposition, more effectively rebuild together the muscle and liver glycogen.
For the first time the highly-efficient carbohydrate nutrient fed with the power of L-arginine and a complex of 12 vitamins
Carbonox™ is also enriched by L-arginine, whose especially effective action in increasing the production of nitrogen oxide affecting the widening of blood vessels, has been scientifically proven many times. The process of adding this active amino acid is supposed to increase the blood flow through the muscles in order to supply the muscles more quickly and effectively with oxygen, anabolic hormones and nutrients. The addition of L-arginine makes Carbonox™ even more effective, because the regeneration of the resources of liver and muscle glycogen occurs a lot more effectively.

The complex of as much as 12 vitamins from all major groups substantially increases the absorption of carbohydrates and intensifies the metabolic transformations. Additionally, the high anti-oxidising potential disclosed by some of the vitamins stops the post-training damage to structural proteins of muscle cells and at the same time accelerates their regeneration at a molecular level.
Who is the product for?

Carbonox™ is recommended primarily for all individuals doing sports disciplines (both on an amateur and professional basis) and can be successfully used in the majority of sports disciplines. Carbonox™ is specifically recommended for individuals undergoing intensive physical exercise, during which the glycogen resources accumulated in the body might be insufficient.
It is also dedicated for the sportsmen, who would like to achieve as quickly as possible the maximum over-compensation of energy ingredients after an exhausting training session to be ready for further exercise. Anyone needing quick and maximally effective energy supplement for exercise will find an ally in the form of Carbonox™.

Glucosamine Chondriotin & MSM 90 Tablets

Osteoarthritis is associated with a breakdown of cartilage in joints and commonly occurs in the hips, knees and spine. Osteoarthritis occurs when there is significant wearing of the articular cartilage of the joint. As the articular cartilage is worn down, swelling and pain occur due to inflammation. Chondroitin and glucosamine, as dietary supplements, are used together to help ease the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is an amino sugar normally produced in the human body. It is necessary for the construction and repair of connective tissue and healthy joint cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate also occurs naturally in the body. Like glucosamine, chondroitin is a building block of proteoglycans: large protein molecules that give cartilage elasticity. Chondroitin sulfate acts by attracting fluid into the proteoglycan molecules and stimulates collagen production. MSM is useful for relieving inflammation and pain in joints that are associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle pain, fatigue and back pain. MSM relieves inflammation and pain by helping to equalize cell pressure.

Branch Chained Amino Acids X 1mg X 60 Capsules

One of the challenges in maintaining focus during intense training and physical exercise is mental fatigue. Whereas most athletes worry about and take corrective action to ward against muscle fatigue, mental fatigue must be combated as well. In fact, recent research has placed increasing emphasis on mental fatigue during exercise. This mental fatigue is commonly referred to as central fatigue because of the involvement of the central nervous system. While central fatigue does not affect muscles, it can reduce the capacity to perform optimally. There is a correlation between the amino acid tryptophan in the brain and the degree of mental fatigue. Upon entry into the brain, tryptophan has the ability to "calm" the central nervous system, causing sleep and drowsiness.

Normally, there are sufficient amounts of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) circulating in the bloodstream to control the entry of tryptophan into the brain. During long-term and sustained exercise, however, muscles use large amounts of amino acids as a source for energy. The body prefers to use BCAAs for energy, since they readily replace glucose in the energy production pathways. As muscles begin to use BCAAs, the amounts of these amino acids drop, which allows tryptophan to enter the brain, inducing fatigue and tiredness. Research shows that supplementation with branched-chain amino acids can prevent central fatigue by tightly regulating the influx of tryptophan to the brain.

Supplementation before and during exercise has been proven to enhance performance. Branched-chain amino acids include leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids are needed for the maintenance of muscle tissue during physical stress and intense exercise. From the perspective of athletes, BCAAs function as anabolic agents and induce sparing, which allows the body to burn fat and not muscle.

Nutrient needs often increase faster than calorie needs in athletes. Ultimate Nutrition is committed to providing athletes with the best products to fulfill exactly those needs. Ultimate Nutrition's 100% Crystalline BCAA is one product designed to increase endurance, lengthen the time to fatigue and improve performance.
