Ribose 2G 200gms Sci Fit
Sci-fit Ribose 2G Each container of Sci-fit Ribose 2G contains 200 grams. Sci-Fit Ribose 2G (2nd Generation) is a powerful precisely formulated cocktail of three popular and effective energy (ATP) enhancers during and after exercise. Creatine Monohydrate is a non-protein amino acid that may have an energy generating action during anaerobic exercise. Creatine, Creatine Kinase, and phosphocreatine make up an intricate cellular energy buffering and transport system connecting the sites of energy production with the sites of energy consumption. During periods of intense exercise and skeletal muscle contraction, energy generation in the cells switches from oxidative phosporylation to anaerobic glycolysis. The amount of energy generated by glycolysis is limited by levels of phosphocreatine, therefore supplemental creatine may increase phosphocreatine levels in skeletal muscle tissue and increase energy available to the muscles during maximal exercise. One researcher recently reviewed the creatine data and discerned a possible ergogenic effect in weighlifting.1 L-Glutamine Powder is a protein amino acid found in proteins of all life forms. L-Glutamine is considered an conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body produces enough under normal circumstances. However, when undergoing extreme metabolic stress the body can become L-Glutamine deficient, which can cause immunosuppresion and skeletal muscle catabolism.2 Ribose is a naturally occurring five carbon sugar found in all living cells. Ribose is very essential for life, since some of the most important biological molecules in the body contains ribose, such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate, all the nucleotides and nucleotide coenzymes and all forms of RNA (ribonucleic acid).3 Ribose supplementation has been shown to enhance the rate at which ATP is replenished in skeletal muscle tissue, decreasing recovery time from exercise dramatically. 1.
