INFRARED??is a ?non stim? pre-workout that uses quality ingredients in effective concentrations and supports genuine cellular energy production that you can feel, without the need for caffeine and / or stimulants. This is a ?formulated supplementary sports food? designed to enhance the quality of athletic performance and provide sportsmen and sportswomen with an unfair but totally legal advantage over the competition.

INFRARED is the result of thousands of hours of research, clinical and university studies on the properties of key performance enhancing botanicals, amino acids and electrolytes. It provides athletes with more than the result of that key ingredient research because when their properties are combined, the synergy will help athletes to gain superior results and to achieve their ?personal best? performance.

What can INFRARED do for you?

• Go harder for longer with less pain
• improve power
• Improve endurance
• Enhance vasodilation of peripheral vasculature to enhance blood flow to your muscles and brain

Enhance stamina and endurance and delay onset of fatigue and weakness by:

• Enhancing genuine energy production
• Buffering metabolic waste
• Reducing the production of metabolic waste
• Enhancing intramuscular antioxidants and acidity buffers
• Supplement, support, restore and maintain electrolyte balance for ideal intracellular: extracellular water ratio.

INFRARED Product Ingredient Summary

Beta Alanine ? for boosting muscle carnosine levels

Beta Alanine supplementation increases muscle carnosine better than taking carnosine itself. Muscle carnosine is an intramuscular acidity buffer and antioxidant. Beta alanine increases stamina and endurance by buffering metabolic acid and waste as it is made. This means less muscle pain and greater muscle performance.

During high intensity exercise, there is a greater reliance on ATP production from glycolysis and phosphagen systems resulting in exercise-induced metabolic acidosis. This waste has been implicated as the cause of muscular fatigue and decreased muscle contractile function. By buffering exercise-induced acidity, muscle carnosine enhances performance. Especially in events with prolonged bouts of high intensity exercise.

Muscle carnosine works as:

• Intramuscular antioxidant
• Intramuscular buffer for exercise-induced acidity
• Regulates calcium sensitivity and excitation?contraction coupling. Calcium influx triggers neuromuscular junctions and can trigger contractions, twitches, taps, cramps and spams. Carnosine can prevent muscle
• spasms, cramping and loss of coordination.
• Protects against glycation. Glycation is a process whereby sugars attach to proteins and oxidise, causing damage to muscles, collagen and connective tissue.

Citrulline malate

• More power, for longer with less pain and faster recovery time.
• Increases energy production, reduces lactic acid and fatigue
• Improves stamina and resilience
• Anti-catabolic
• Citrulline and L-aspartate combine to create arginine in your body and subsequently nitric oxide in the systemic circulation for maximum vasodilation pump and power.

Beta vulgaris

• Source of nitrates to fuel nitric oxide vasodilation.
• Improves endurance.
• Increases exercise duration until exhaustion.

Schisandra chinensis

• Adaptogenic; helping the body adapt to physical and mental stress.
• Improves dexterity, focus and co-ordination.
• Corrects respiratory acidosis and improves performance. One study on thoroughbreds showed an improvement of 6 lengths in an 800m race.
• Synergistically enhances vasodilation when used in combination with other vasodilators.

Betaine / Trimethylglycine (TMG)

This is a recent addition and upgrade to INFRARED and works via multiple mechanisms.

Methylation

Methylation for efficient conversion and deactivation of waste, stress chemicals and neurotransmitters is important during exercise to aid performance. But more so in the recovery phase as methylators are essential for DNA methylation to make protein synthesis and recovery capable of happening.

Dimethylglycine

Trimethylglycine (TMG) enters the methylation cycle, uses a methyl group to deactivate a toxin / chemical and then converts to the beneficial Dimethylglycine and will supply the same benefits as the original dimethylglycine (DMG) which is used to aid oxygenation of tissues and aid performance.

Osmolyte

Osmolytes regulate osmosis ? intercellular and intracellular water movement in the body. Like Creatine, TMG can enter our cells and drag water inside to rehydrate the cell.

Unique?Electrolyte Mix

Quality electrolytes magnesium L-aspartate, potassium L-aspartate, calcium citrate and sodium citrate. These electrolytes perform the following functions.

• Restore and maintain ideal intracellular: extracellular water ratio
• Maintain nerve and muscle function
• Prevent cramping and anxiety
• Ultimate alkalizers to prevent metabolic acidosis
• Citrates have superior absorption and distribution and synergistically supply citric acid to fuel the ?citric acid cycle? (a.k.a. Krebs cycle), which is the series of chemical reactions that occurs within the cells of our body to
• generate energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
• L-aspartate forms supply the L-aspartate to work synergistically with Citrulline for arginine production
