The effectiveness is achieved only through the interaction of all ingredients. Key functions include:
Potassium regulates the water-electrolyte balance and is required for nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction. Additionally, the mineral is needed for information transmission to muscle and nerve cells. Potassium regulates blood pressure and heart rate.
Iron is a component of red blood cells and is necessary for the transport and storage of oxygen. As a component of many enzymes, the trace element is involved in cellular energy production, the synthesis of various messenger substances, and cell division. Additionally, iron protects cells from free radicals and strengthens the immune system.
Coenzyme Q10 is a very effective antioxidant that can regenerate oxidized vitamin E. Furthermore, the coenzyme promotes the stabilization of cell membranes, increases immune competence, and is necessary for normal heart function.
L-Carnitine supports energy and fat metabolism and is involved in the oxidative breakdown of fatty acids. In addition to its antioxidant protective function, L-carnitine strengthens the immune system and has a generally performance-enhancing effect.
Glycine is a building block of almost all proteins. Glycine accounts for about 33% of collagen, making it an important structural protein of connective tissue, bones, teeth, skin, and tendons. Glycine also plays an important role in the synthesis of heme, the iron-containing pigment of red blood cells, which serves oxygen binding.
Creatine is used by many athletes because of its performance-enhancing effect. In the form of creatine phosphate, the substance is an energy store and a characteristic component of skeletal muscle. It plays a central role in the energy metabolism of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, the central nervous system, and sperm.
Ornithine supports the production and release of hormones such as norepinephrine, glucagon, insulin, prolactin, and growth hormone, which keep the body young and support fat burning. Therefore, ornithine has a muscle-building (anabolic) effect.
Taurine is a component of bile acids, acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, supports nerve functions, regulates heart rate and blood pressure, participates in fat metabolism, supports the immune system, and protects cells from oxidative damage as an antioxidant.
L-Valine is present in all important proteins, especially in muscle tissue. Valine stimulates insulin secretion, thereby regulating blood sugar. Valine is also significantly involved in the resynthesis of all proteins and thus in the maintenance and regeneration of muscle tissue.
