Xxtra Fitness Nutritionals - Low Oz

Whether you’re an accomplished athlete or just starting to exercise, you’re already familiar with how hard it is to stay motivated, properly hydrated, remain injury-free, and to build lean muscle.

Xxtra Fitness Nutritionals from Unicity eliminates many of the barriers that can slow and even stop you from continuing with your workout plans. These state-of-the-art formulas address the four major areas of concern of any exercise program:

Energy
Hydration
Strength
Recovery

ENERGY Pre-workout and daily energy boost. Does your workout require mental focus as well as physical stamina? Peak physical performance requires maximum energy and mental focus. Fatigue and lack of focus often lead to injuries and poor results. Add a pre-workout energy boost for your body and mind, so you can accomplish more!

HYDRATE During workout. Ever get thirsty while working out? Dehydration can occur long before you even become thirsty. In fact, without sufficient fluids, your body is less capable of moving nutrients through your system and distributing oxygen. The result? Fatigue and muscle cramps.

Research shows that dehydrating muscle by as little as three percent can result in a 12 percent decrease in strength. Plus, as you become dehydrated, you lose essential electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, which are critical for bodily functions. Hydrate your body during your workout or competition and you will notice a marked difference.

STRENGTH Fuel to amplify and maximize your workout. Protein is the cornerstone of any exercise program. Protein is essential to providing the necessary materials for strength, lean muscle building, and every other major metabolic process that your body goes through in a 24-hour period.

Creatine provides energy to your muscles for movements, especially quick and explosive movements. Whenever you run fast, jump high, or lift a lot of weight, your body relies on its immediately available source of energy, which creatine provides.

RECOVERY Post-workout. Have you ever felt muscle pain the day after an intense workout? This is your body's natural way of telling you that your muscles were stressed and need proper time and nutrients to recover. Most people don't know that the recovery phase (resting, sleeping) can be enhanced with the proper blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids.

LowOz™Ultimate Hydration: Rapid Electrolyte Replenishment.

LowOz features exclusive Rapid Replenishment technology that delivers a blend of essential electrolytes, energy-efficient nutrients, and antioxidants, and delivers them in an effective manner. Our secret? Low osmolality—hence: "LowOz."

Osmolality is the measurement of solid particles in a liquid. For example, the average osmolality of blood is 250. It's difficult for the body to absorb liquids with osmolality ratings higher than 250. Most of the leading sports drinks have ratings above 250, which means your body doesn't absorb them efficiently even if your body is dehydrated. LowOz's osmolality rating is only 150, which means that the ingredients essential to combating dehydration are quickly and efficiently absorbed by your body.
Profile Science Ingredients

Q. Do I use LowOz during or after training?
A. It's important to ensure proper hydration and electrolyte balance during training. LowOz should be consumed during your workout regimen for best results.

Q. Can I mix LowOz with fruit juice?
A. Because of the unique carbohydrate blend that controls the low osmolality of LowOz, it should be mixed only with water for best results and maximum absorption.

QuadPlex™Advanced Protein Technology.

Protein is the foundation for building lean muscle mass, so choosing a good protein source is extremely important.

Most of the protein powders you find in stores contain whey protein concentrate with a small amount of whey protein isolate mixed in. Isolate is more expensive than concentrate because it contains more protein per serving. Usually, isolate contains 90-98% protein while whey concentrate contains 70-85%.

QuadPlex stands up to the test because it contains more isolate and utilizes a patented enzyme system to enhance the absorption of protein. QuadPlex gives you 28 grams of truly absorbable protein to support lean muscle mass.

All athletes try to prevent the loss of muscle, so the catabolic effect of using your muscle proteins for energy is not wanted by anyone! The BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) required to maintain muscle tissue, preserve the muscle stores of glycogen, and prevent muscle tissue breakdown during training are utilized for energy instead of the muscle proteins. All good whey protein should contain plenty of BCAA's.

QuadPlex includes a special anti-aging blend of vitamins and minerals that protect you from free radical damage, no wonder you are looking stronger and younger each day!
Profile Science Ingredients

Q. When is the best time to take protein?
A. It's good to divide your protein intake evenly throughout the day. Some fitness experts recommend you eat five small meals a day. If you're working out and increasing your requirements, then a protein drink after your workout can be beneficial. Either way, protein is critical in giving hard-working muscles the nutrients they need to repair, rebuild, and grow.

Q. What is the difference between meal replacement drink mixes and QuadPlex?
A. Meal replacements offer a nutritious alternative to a meal for people concerned with weight management. QuadPlex is a dietary supplement formulated to provide a nutrient-rich, high-quality protein supplement to people whose lifestyles demand extra protein.

Creatine Now!™

High Performance Creatine and Glutamine Blend.The main function of creatine is providing energy to your muscles. Whenever you run fast, jump high, or lift a lot of weight, your body relies on an immediately available source of energy, which is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Unfortunately, there's only a limited supply in muscles, and once you use a molecule of ATP, it can't be used again unless creatine is present.

It's creatine that essentially allows the new formation of ATP, so intense muscular contractions can continue. Therefore, ingested creatine allows you to use more ATP in a period of time, which is important to any athlete involved in short-term, high intensity workouts.

In addition to high quality creatine, Creatine Now! includes glutamine to help maintain muscle cells and supports important metabolic functions. Glutamine has been linked to protein synthesis and muscle recuperation. It helps prevent muscle from being catabolized (eaten up).

B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B12, vitamin B5) are absolutely necessary for normal body metabolism and enzyme function; they're used in our bodies to process fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Energy stores can naturally be increased by supplementing with B vitamins.

Vitamin C, one of the most potent antioxidants, supports healthy cells, strengthens bones and connective tissues, and increases the performance of the immune system.
Profile Science Ingredients

Q. How much research is available on creatine? Does it work?
A. More than 80 clinical studies published by various organizations have shown creatine's effectiveness in delaying muscle fatigue, enabling you to work out longer, and develop stronger, larger muscles, and greater results.

Q. What are the benefits of the Creatine Now! effervescent delivery system?
A. This unique, patented delivery system allows for complete dissolution of Creatine Now! in water. A creatine formula in traditional tablet or capsule dosage forms does not fully dissolve in water, leading to clumps or a gritty taste. Higher dissolution of our effervescent formula ensures proper absorption and assimilation of ingredients.

MyoCap™Post-Workout Recovery Blend.

The recovery phase can be enhanced with the proper blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids. With MyoCap, you can work out as intensely as ever, but the results don't have to be as uncomfortable.

MyoCap contains an exclusive blend of nutrients that promote recovery after training and exercise and helps support the recuperative process, so your muscle pains are minimized.
L-Arginine is an amino acid that helps speed muscle recovery from stress. After a vigorous workout, dietary arginine can contribute to a hormonal environment that produces increased protein synthesis and muscle growth.

OPC (Oligomeric Pronathocyanidins) and ORACTIVE are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds in fruit, vegetables, and bark). Bioflavonoids have been reported to seek out and subdue free-radicals and form a protective shield.

Vitamin C reduces strength loss in muscles after exercise and promotes faster recovery. Vitamin C supplementation also reduces the intensity of soreness.

Vitamin B Complex (thiamin and B6) helps release energy for cellular regeneration and support amino acid and protein synthesis.
Ingredients

Q. Do I take MyoCap before or after exercise?
A. It's best to take it following your workout; however, you can also take it before your workout to help your muscles take the strain more efficiently, thus leading to faster recovery time.

Q. Does this product contain any analgesics?
A. No. There are no pain-killing chemicals in this product. It supports your body by giving muscle tissue nutrients needed to recover after physical training.
