| PeptoPro® |
PeptoPro® is unique in being a pre-digested milk protein, derived from casein, which is neutral in taste. The secret lies in a patent-protected enzyme that reduces the typical bitter taste at the same time as generating tiny protein fragments (so-called peptides) that are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and so fuel the muscles.
- Accelerates recovery from exercise
- Helps faster recovery
- Helps enhance endurance
- Increases the time to fatigue during exercise
- Helps better performance
- Helps to increase physical performance
- PeptoPro® as pre-digested protein is a recovery ingredient for fast muscle refueling
- The protein in PeptoPro® aids the body in supplying longer-lasting energy
- PeptoPro® protein helps an athlete recover faster after a period of exercise
- PeptoPro® offers all the biological benefits of natural milk protein without the side effects associated with consumption of lactose Provides nutritional support for muscles during times of strenuous activity
- PeptoPro® for Fast Muscle Refueling
- The protein in PeptoPro® encourages muscle recovery and repair

| Carnosine & Histidine |
Carnosine is variously described as a hydrogen ion buffer, H+ buffer, acid buffer or lactic acid buffer.
Carnosine is a dipeptide, that's to say, it's formed from two amino acids. These are beta-alanine and L-histidine. Within the body carnosine has the property of mopping up excess H+ ions effectively and does so precisely in the physiological pH range found in muscle.
It is the L-histidine that has the ability to 'mop up' excess H+ ions released by the lactic acid in a one-to-one ratio. But this only happens when it is modified by being bound to beta-alanine. Free L-histidine would only be effective far outside of physiological range. |
| Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate or OKG |
| Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) helps your body cope with physical stress - increasing strength and endurance
A nutritional supplement developed to improve the performance of athletes, is now proving to be extremely beneficial in speeding the recovery time.
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate or OKG as it's more commonly called, is a potent muscle food. It increases energy, endurance and muscle mass whilst inhibiting muscle breakdown, fatigue, and the build up of fat. Add to this its ability to speed up recovery time and it's not hard to understand why it is such a popular choice among many sportsmen and women.
L-Ornithine and alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) work synergistically in Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) to induce favourable conditions for any exercise or training regimen by regulating L-Glutamine levels - another amino acid - in your body. L-Glutamine is an essential source of cellular fuel, which helps drive metabolic processes.
Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) component of Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) curbs this breakdown of muscle by combining with ammonia - a toxic by-product that accumulates during intense workouts - to restore glutamine and hence energy levels back to normal. This prevents the attack on lean muscle mass and the accumulation of ammonia, which is highly toxic and can cause impaired cognition. |
| Carbohydrates |
Carbohydrates provide the quick, sustained energy source in most gels. Normally around 85% are complex carbohydrates from maltodextrin and 15% are simple carbohydrates from fructose.
(Although Fructose is a simple carbohydrate it has a low GI (23). WHASP fructose comes from the honey) |
| Branch Chain Amino Acids |
2 typical ones are the two of the three branch chain amino acids Leucine and Valine which are two vital amino acids that help maintain muscle protein and aid with recovery. |
| Antioxidants |
Vitamins C and E are important antioxidants.. They help protect against tissue damage from free radicals, which are produced by the muscle's burning of oxygen. Vitamins C & E also protect your skin tissues; help reduce soreness and aid with recovery. |
| Propolis |
Benefits of Propolis…
- Propolis has been rediscovered by western medicine relatively recently as a natural product with vast potential for human and animal health. However, it has been widely and successfully used in medicinal practice for centuries in Eastern Europe and Asia.
- Worldwide research shows it offers antiseptic, antibiotic, antibacterial, antifungal, and even antiviral properties and has been proven to be effective in:
- Stimulating the immune system
- Alleviating joint and muscular pain, arthritis and rheumatism
- Treating skin complaints such as eczema and psoriasis
- Healing wounds and burns
- Treating gastro-intestinal problems and blood disorders
- Relieving asthma, bronchitis, sore throats and respiratory problems
- Aiding the regeneration of tissue and reducing bleeding and pain
- Providing a natural immunity to common viruses, including the various strains of flu
- Working against harmful bacteria without destroying the friendly bacteria the body needs
- The greatest strength that Propolis has is its ability to treat so many different ailments. These unique properties all found in one product make it the ultimate holistic ‘medicine’ – by stimulating the immune system in the body to fight off infection as a whole.

| D-Ribose |
Supports the Energy Cycle.
(Ribose is the sugar that begins the metabolic process for production of adenosine triphosphate (or ATP). ATP is the major source of energy used by cells including muscle tissue for normal function.) |
| L-Glutamine |
It aids in the recovery process after training or racing.
Glutamine supplementation minimizes the amount of muscle pain experienced after strenuous exercise. |
| MCT |
Medium Chain Triglycerides, Immediate energy and also stabilizers your blood sugar level. |
| Green Tea |
| Anti Oxidant, which removes free radicals from the system by neutralizing the free radicals in the body. |
