Glycocyamine/Guanidineacetic Acid
Glycocyamine (which is a naturally occurring compound in the human body that's actually the precursor of creatine), Betaine, and Electrolytes. Glycocyamine delivers creatine-like results, including improved performance, delayed muscle fatigue, and greater-than-normal gains in both muscle size and strength. Electrolytes are there to keep the body energized and hydrated.
Also called guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), glycocyamine (pronounced gly-ko-sigh-a-meen) is a naturally occurring compound in the human body that's actually the precursor of creatine. In other words, it's creatine before creatine takes its final form. Like creatine, GAA is found naturally in your body.
Glycocyamine can appears to be very effective for those who see no benefits from creatine. In other words, it turns creatine "non-responders" into "responders." Scientists think this nutrient might also boost your own creatine production. Many creatine users don't realize that creatine is found naturally in your body. By increasing the body's own creatine production, researchers think that it's possible to magnify the effects of supplemental creatine and end up bigger and stronger.
A series of studies showed that a combination of betaine and glycocyamine improves the symptoms of patients with chronic illness, including heart disease, without toxicity. Betaine can provide a methyl group to glycocyamine, via methionine, for the formation of creatine. [1] In overal, such treatment led to less fatigue, greater strength and endurance, and an improved sense of well-being. The patients with cardiac decompensation (arteriosclerosis or rheumatic disease) [2] and congestiveheart failure [3] had improved cardiac function. The patients gained weight (improved nitrogen balance) and saw lessened symptoms of arthritis and asthma and increased libido, and those people suffering from hypertension experienced transient reduced blood pressure. Also the studies shows the increase of glucose tolerance in both diabetic subjects and subjects without diabetes.
