MuscleTech Gakic: A new era in musclebuilding performance
GAKIC, chemically known as
glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid, may be new to
Bodybuilders, athletes, and sports enthusiasts, though it has
been in development for 8 years already and many studies have
been done on this supplement. It's not like creatine, a
stimulant or a generic pre-workout supplement. GAKIC is a
pre-workout musclebuilding supplement.
Many studies have been done on this supplement and some have
been published in publications such as Medicine & Science in
Sports & Exercise. In one study, GAKIC supplementation
significantly increased the total muscle work performed during
resistance training by an average of 10.5 percent during the
first 15 minutes. In the same study, GAKIC supplementation was
shown to significantly increase fatigue resistance by up to an
average of 28 percent when compared with the placebo.
To get bigger, the human body has to pass new barriers by
blasting through the body's normal fatigue threshold, also known
as "failure". After years of scientific scrutiny, researchers
believe that one of the key mechanisms responsible for the
performance-enhancing effects of GAKIC is the removal of the
fatigue toxin ammonia, which can interfere with normal muscle
metabolism and generally limit muscular power output. With
decreased fatigue toxin levels, the body can perform more work.
This can eventually translate into better muscular gains as
training intensity and strength improve over time.
In layman's terms, GAKIC is designed to help the body deal with
metabolic fatigue by delaying the moment of failure - helping to
get 1, 2, or even 3 more reps in. Since GAKIC works immediately,
all that is needed is to take it before training. There's no
loading, cycling, or maintenance phases.
What's in GAKIC is chemically known as
glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid
Glycine is a nonessential amino acid, meaning your body's cells
can synthesize sufficient amounts of it to meet physiological
requirements. Studies show that production of growth hormone
(one of the most important musclebuilding hormones) increases in
a
dose-dependent manner with glycine supplementation. Another
thing about glycine is that when it's combined with arginine (as
it is in GAKIC), it has the potential to increase endogenous
creatine levels.
Arginine plays an important role in many bodily functions
including the removal of ammonia from the body, immune function,
and the release of hormones. The body also uses it to produce
nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels.
Alpha-ketoisocaproate represents the "KIC" in GAKIC. KIC is a
branched-chain keto acid (BCKA) that has anti-catabolic effects
meaning it can help prevent muscle loss. BCKAs also aid in a
muscle's energy production while helping to remove ammonia.
Buildups of ammonia are common during intense training sessions,
and have been known to play a part in fatigue.
How Gakic Works
There are two types of failure: that which occurs due to
neurological issues and that which occurs due to metabolic
issues. The former occurs with lower rep training, whereas the
latter occurs with moderate to high-rep training. In the example
above, metabolic fatigue sets in due to the build-up of various
metabolic by-products which negatively affects exercise
performance and inhibits some aspects of the muscle's
contractile machinery. GAKIC helps your body deal with this
metabolic fatigue and thus delays this moment of failure.
Does Gakic contain Creatine?
No. GAKIC is not a creatine supplement. Creatine increases the
regeneration of a primary muscle fuel source called adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). GAKIC works at the muscle fiber level via
different metabolic mechanism than creatine. One of GAKIC's jobs
is to remove fatigue toxins - toxins that prevent your muscles
from making more ATP.
GAKIC is available in either powder or caplet form and can be
found at online retailers such as http://www.bodyconcept.com/
