F-16 by Ultimate Nutrition is a revolutionary new Fifth Generation of Creatine that neutralizes that lactic acid burn that would normally cause you to do seven reps on your last set instead of the ten you wanted to do. F-16’s B-Power™ ingredients provide and help produce carnosine to buffer against the lactic acid that limits your short term burst of power during exercise. F-16’s V-Power™ ingredients then provide a new cell volumizing technology that enhances the amount of phosphate taken up by a muscle cell helping the creatine form the high energy compound creatine phosphate.

Using F-16 will help you:

• Extend your workouts to achieve every last rep you desire.
• Increase your overall strength and endurance
• Maintain your initial muscular power from the beginning of your workout until the end
• Allow you to achieve that final burst at the end of your sprint.

F-16 is a fifth generation creatine product that allows your muscles to build and repair during your workout. F-16 combines creatine monohydrate with the following revolutionary ingredients. Beta Alanine, Histidine, and Carnosine which directly influence muscle strength by buffering acid build-up in the muscle which can help prevent muscle loss commonly resulting from acidosis. Beta Alanine, Histidine, and Carnosine also aid in the volumization effect of creatine, meaning fuller muscles. IP-6 may enhance the amount of phosphate taken up by a muscle cell and therefore helping creatine form the high energy compound creatine phosphate. It also appears to improve tissue oxygenation by changing the dynamics of hemoglobin which delivers oxygen to the working muscles. Taurine aids the movement of potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium in and out of cells and thus helps generate nerve impulses. It has cell-volumization and insulin mimicking properties. It has also been shown to aid in cardiovascular health.

Suggested Use:

1. One serving = two scoops.

2. For the first five days (loading stage); take two servings daily, one serving in the morning and another serving 12 hours later, or right after you work out.

3. For the next ten days (maintenance stage); take one serving immediately after you work out. On non-workout days, take one serving in the late afternoon.

4. For best taste, mix each scoop of F-16 with 6 oz. of water. Add more water if the taste is too strong. F-16 may be stacked with Ultimate Nutrition’s ArgiNOne.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Where is IP6 found naturally?

IP6 (inositol hexaphosphate) is a component of fiber primarily found in whole grains and legumes. Although IP6 is found in substantial amounts in the fiber component of whole grains and beans, supplementation with purified IP6 offers several advantages. Firstly, in grains and beans the IP6 exists primarily as a poorly absorbed form because it is complexed with protein and minerals like calcium, magnesium or potassium to form a salt. Therefore, in its natural state IP6 is poorly absorbed. Studies have shown that pure IP6 is significantly more bioavailable that the IP6 found in whole grains and beans.

2. What benefits does IP 6 provide?

IP6 maximizes creatine usage by providing vital phosphate molecules. It is the storage of phosphate bound to creatine that allows for the immediate replenishment of Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP). IP6 enhances the oxygen binding and releasing ability of hemoglobin. The enhanced ease of which oxygen can be released from the hemoglobin gives increased availability of oxygen to the tissues. When the blood is rich in oxygen that can be readily released to the tissues, the heart doesn't have to work as hard.

3. What exactly is Carnosine?

Carnosine is the dipeptide of histidine and alanine, and functions primarily as a buffer in muscle tissue. High carnosine levels are associated with an increase in physical performance especially anaerobic performance. Carnosine has been reported through studies, revealed that carnosine administration can, indeed, benefit the immune responsiveness. Carnosine is best known for its ability to buffer lactic acid in muscle tissue and for its multiple antioxidant capabilities.
