Ultimate Nutrition Muscle Building Kit

This kit combines two of Ultimate Nutrition’s newest products (ArgiNOne & F-16) with a custom designed workout from professional trainer Chad Nicholls. Designed exclusively for Ultimate Nutrition, the two phase, 12 week workout plan is designed to significantly increase size and strength and is not for beginners. This professional workout plan is supported with a special diet program. The Muscle Building Kit includes F-16 “The Fifth Generation of Creatine” in delicious Tropical Fruit Punch flavor, ArgiNOne “The Future of Nitric Oxide”, Chad Nicholls 12-week Ultimate Workout and Diet Plan, free limited edition Ultimate Nutrition T-shirt (XL), and free limited edition Ultimate Nutrition Gym Bag.

Every athlete knows it is important to protect your body before, during and after a workout. Stacking ArgiNOne and F-16 can offer benefits for each of these stages. High carnosine levels are associated with an increase in physical performance, especially anaerobic performance. If your muscles become too acidic due to lactic acid build-up, creatine will not show its full potential. By effectively buffering lactic acid, the carnosine in F-16 supports optimal creatine effectiveness. The creatine in F-16 helps make more "fuel" available to the muscle in the form of ATP. This extra fuel ensures that the muscle works faster and longer and recovers faster after intense exercise or sustained physical activity.

The Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) in F-16 appears to improve tissue oxygenation by changing the dynamics of hemoglobin, which delivers oxygen to the working muscles. IP6 is the only antioxidant that both chelates iron and other heavy metals and incorporates itself into red blood cells thus reducing the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. IP6 enhances the oxygen binding and releasing ability of hemoglobin.

L-Arginine is a wide-known amino acid due to its potential to increase growth hormone(GH) levels. Arginine in the form found in ArgiNOne (Arginine alpha ketoglutarate) also plays a number of other roles in your body, one of them being the production of nitric oxide (NO). Research supports arginine's ability to drive NO synthesis. Nitric Oxide (NO) creates an anabolic environment in your body by increasing blood flow to working muscles to promote muscle growth and increased strength. Dilation of the blood vessels helps to increase blood flow to your muscles, bringing with it much-needed nutrients, oxygen and hormones.

The L-Citrulline and L-Malic Acid in ArgiNOne work by powering ATP production and by eliminating metabolic pollutants such as Lactic Acid and Ammonia from the blood. Citrulline stimulates energy, boosts the immune system, is metabolized to form Larginine and as a result regulates Nitric Oxide production, and detoxifies ammonia.

Taurine, found in F-16, is vital for the proper utilization of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, Taurine can also act similar to creatine in your cells by helping the muscle cell itself hold more water, increasing cell volume. For a lifter or bodybuilder, this is significant because expanded muscle cells can boost hydration resulting in a higher rate of protein synthesis. The carnosine in F-16 can act as a powerful buffer for muscle. It has the ability to neutralize lactic acid build-up in your muscles, and it accounts for the majority of your body’s natural lactic acid buffering action. ArgiNOne also aids in recovery in that Citrulline and Malic Acid aid in the elimination of amino acid byproducts of protein metabolism. They may even help to eliminate the burn associated with lactic acid build-up as well as reduce the negative effects of ammonia and bacterial endotoxins on performance. Subsequent to exercise, muscle levels of creatine phosphate are reduced and it takes some time for levels to be re-elevated. The more Creatine Phosphate your muscles have the stronger and better able to perform they will be. Citrulline and Malic Acid stimulate phosphocreatine recovery after exercise, meaning faster recuperation between workouts, and muscles that are primed for growth and your next training session.

Supplement Facts

Suggested Use: Take 3 capsules with Meal #1 and another 3 capsules prior to workout.

F-16

Supplement Facts

Other Ingredients: Dextrose, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Citric Acid, Sucralose, and
Beet Root Powder (for color).

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. Why dilate the blood vessels?
Dilation is a widening of the blood channels leading to skeletal muscles through the mechanism of amplified blood flow. Dilation is initiated by nitric oxide synthesis. Nitric oxide is the cell-signaling molecule responsible for blood flow, oxygen delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity, power output, and gene-expression, or muscle growth. The channels that deliver muscle-building agents to the muscle cells become forced open and remain that way throughout the day. The results are faster gains in lean mass, greater strength, increased endurance, and complete full-body muscle recovery.

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.
