Balance Carnitine provides 500mg of pure pharmaceutical grade L-Carnitine (Levocarnitine) Tartrate. L-Carnitine has an important role in fat burning and exercise performance and the metabolism of fat for energy depends on it absorption, converison to fatty acids and glycerols. By promoting the transport and metabolism of fatty acids through the inner mitochondrial membrane, where fat is converted to energy, L-Carnitine can assist aerobic performance, anaerobic capacity and may improve power output and stamina in athletes. Bottle size: 60 Caps Ingredients Each Capsule Contains:   L-Carnitine Tartrate 500mg Equiv: L-Carnitine 340.5mg Recommended Use Adults: Take one to two capsules, at least one hour before exercise... » read more

  How Does the Ultimate Recovery Pack work? The Balance Ultimate Recovery Pack fits perfectly into your training programme. After each session one serve (65g) mixes easily with water for rapid optimum muscle recovery and growth. Fast absorbing carbohydrates have been included in this formula to increase insulin which will assist in driving the other key recovery ingredients into the muscle quickly. Insulin also suppresses cortisol which is a hormone that breaks down muscle tissue, therefore the inclusion of these carbohydrates are crucial for creating a positive  environment for faster recovery and development of your tired muscles. The comprehensive ingredients described hereafter will provide all the nutrients required for your ultimate muscle recovery. What are those essential ingredients included in the Balance Ultimate Recovery Pack? Creatine (5g per serve) Creatine has been the subject of over 400 research studies in the past decade, focusing primarily on muscle performance and muscle development. Creatine is a pivotal ingredient in the Ultimate Recovery Pack for many reasons. Firstly it increases muscle cell size through hydration which creates a positive environment for muscle growth and repair. Creatine provides the powerful energy required to kick start the recovery process (Like the key the starts the engine). Recent research suggests that creatine may increase satellite cell number which may increase the number of muscle cells in each muscle, more muscle cells = more muscle. Creatine has been proven to increase strength which will allow you to train harder so you can improve your performance repeatedly. Beta Alanine (2g per serve) Beta-alanine acts as an intracellular buffer to offset acid production in the muscle which helps delay muscle fatigue, increase power, increase strength and speeds recovery. Beta-alanine is a precursor of carnosine, a naturally-occurring dipeptide found in high concentration in skeletal muscle tissue. Studies have shown that supplementation for 10-12 weeks with Beta-Alanine will increase carnosine in the muscle by up to 80%. Beta-alanine also increases NOS (Nitric Oxide Synthase) which results in an increased production of Nitric Oxide therefore increasing nutrient delivery to exercising or recovering muscle tissue. Beta-Alanine also increases nerve stimulation which may result in the recruitment of more muscle fibers with each contraction therefore immediate strength increases and extreme vasodialation (PUMP) have been experienced by many users. Performance benefits are generally seen within the first 2-3 weeks however some individuals will notice results within a week. The latest innovation in muscle recovery and performance. L-Glutamine (5g per serve) L-Glutamine has recently been re-classified as a conditionally essential amino acid, it is predominantly synthesized and stored in skeletal muscle. While the body can make glutamine, under extreme physical stress, i.e. training or competition, the demand for l-glutamine exceeds the body's ability to synthesize it. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body with approximately 60% of skeletal muscle comprised of L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine is glyconeogenic meaning it may get used for energy therefore protecting muscle tissue from cortisol breakdown. L-Glutamine helps to transport other amino acids into the muscle tissue including creatine, BCAA’s, Beta Alanine and HMB so therefore will enhance recovery, reduce muscle breakdown and improve muscle growth and performance. L-Glutamine is also heavily involved in boosting your immune system and enhancing digestion for better nutrient absorption. Branch Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) (3.5g per serve) The combination of these three essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine make up approximately 1 third of all skeletal muscle in the human body and play an important role in protein synthesis(the development of new muscle tissue). It has been demonstrated th... » read more
