BUILD YOUR GAINS FASTER THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE
CVOL is a sugar-free post-workout recovery drink designed to deliver increases in muscle strength & volume. CVOL has been formulated with 5 g of a Creatine Chelate Complex including Creatine Magnesium Chelate. CVOL also contains 2.5 g Taurine, 1 g L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, 1 g Betaine, and 800 mg Beta-Alanine; a rock-star list of the “go-to” ingredients, dosed at effective levels for rapid recovery from intense training.
CREATINE
High levels of Creatine in your muscles are essential to creating the high-intensity, short-burst power that you need to push up the big weight on the bench or get explosiveness off the line. Increased Creatine stores in your muscles help generate this power. As you get stronger with each workout, your muscles grow very quickly to overcome the progressively increased resistance (weight or speed training).
Why supplement with Creatine post-workout? Two words, delivery, and absorption. Creatine must get into the bloodstream, where it can be delivered to waiting for muscle cells, once in the bloodstream, it must be actively absorbed by muscle cells. But when your body has not been through an intense workout, your muscles are not ready to absorb Creatine.
Creatine is very heavily used during high-intensity weightlifting. When Creatine stores (Phospho-Creatine) are depleted, the body goes to work to replenish them as quickly as possible. Since the absorption of Creatine into muscle cells is regulated in part by specialized insulin receptors, Post-Workout is the ideal time to supplement with Creatine. It is in this Post-Workout state that muscles actively take in nutrients, including Creatine. Which makes CVOL the perfect Post-Workout Recovery Drink.
BETA-ALANINE
Most people take Beta-Alanine in their Pre-Workout because “they can feel it working”. But the “pins and needles” effect, called paresthesia, has nothing to do with improving your workout.
There is a common misunderstanding as to how Beta-Alanine works. The body needs Beta-Alanine to make Carnosine. Beta-Alanine is paired with L-Histidine to form Carnosine. With the ongoing use of Beta-Alanine, the body increases its levels of Carnosine. Because there is a ton of Histidine in the body, the addition of Beta-Alanine ramps up Carnosine production. Once the levels build up, the performance effects begin to take place. Best of all, even if Beta-Alanine supplementation is stopped, it can take as much as two weeks for the Carnosine levels to drop.
Additionally, by promoting high intra-muscular Carnosine concentrations, Beta-Alanine acts as a precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO) production and works to reduce intra-muscular acidification created by intense exercise and heavy training. In simple terms this means that Beta-Alanine helps to buffer the pH levels in your muscles, preventing the acidity that occurs during exercise. A decrease in the pH balance or increase in muscular acidity leads to that muscle burn you’ll experience that often prevents gains. Beta-Alanine provides the stimulus to push through this.
L-CARNITINE L-TARTRATE: Post-Workout Recovery Powerhouse
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT) acts as a kind of “shield” for your muscles during intense workouts. It protects your muscle tissue from damage that would normally take place as you train. Studies have shown as much as 40% reduction in Post-Workout muscle tissue damage. Most impressively, it has been shown to protect not only the muscle but the hormone receptors on the muscle cells. Supplementation with LCLT has been shown to increase androgen receptor levels in muscle biopsies. LCLT lets your muscles recover faster and grow more quickly in response to your workout.
L-Carnitine enhances performance by increasing the body’s reliance on fat for energy; this reduces the depletion of muscle glycogen. By reducing muscle tissue lactic acid build-up, performance athletes using L-Carnitine can extend the duration of muscular exertion before fatigue. L-Carnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fats into the cell for energy production. L-Carnitine taps into your fat supply and may provide support to burn it as fuel, resulting in increased energy. Without L-Carnitine, these fats cannot be burned for energy and are instead shunted to stored body fat.
TAURINE
Taurine is an abundant intracellular amino acid in skeletal muscle and similar to creatine, Taurine draws water in muscle cells and acts as a cell volumizer. This in turn draws additional nutrients for recovery and growth, increasing cell volume and enhancing muscle fullness. And like Creatine, Taurine is not present in whey protein, whereas all other essential and nonessential amino acids are.
With intense exercise comes changes in electrolyte concentration both inside and outside of the cell. Taurine regulates water and mineral salts in the blood. It maintains the movement of potassium, magnesium, and sodium across the cell membranes and regulates ion balance between cells. Due to its ability to regulate electrolytes, it may play a role in preventing muscle cramping.
Taurine also plays a role in muscle contraction, as it has been shown to increase the rate at which the sarcoplasmic reticulum accumulates Ca2+ in both types I and type II muscle fibers. Thus, it enhances the ability of the muscles to generate force by increasing the uptake and release of calcium ions. Muscle contraction leads to an increase in nitric oxide synthase and/or nitric oxide (NO).
Increases in NO have been shown to enhance glucose uptake in skeletal muscles which may enhance exercise intensity and post-exercise recovery. Taurine plays a role in Nitric Oxide production (NO gas present during muscle contraction and blood vessel dilation) and therefore may enhance the workout session and lead to a more rigorous workout.
A study posted in FASEB found several exercise-related benefits of L-Taurine. Specifically, severe restriction of TAURINE reduced mobility of skeletal muscle, while supplementation improved skeletal functions and provided an energizing effect. Moreover, lab tests have shown that muscle cells treated with taurine show significant enhancements in maturation thereby contributing to the process of muscle recovery.
BETAINE
Betaine, usually found in super-foods like wheat bran, spinach, and beets, has been included to further enhance strength and power output, and not in a small dosage either – 1,000 mg a day! Betaine has been shown in new research to improve exercise performance.
Participants actually improved their squat muscular endurance and performance. These statistically significant results were shown in just 2 weeks! These massive gains are likely due to the effect of Betaine to increase muscle-promoting growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor with a simultaneous decrease in exercise-induced cortisol.
Betaine, in comparison to Taurine, has also been shown to function as an organic osmolyte, maintaining cellular fluid balance. Moreover, Betaine has been shown to elicit a protective effect against heat-induced denaturation of citric synthase. Given that citric synthase is a critical mediator of whole-body energy production, preventing its destruction is sure to promote massive energy gains.
CREATINE ABSORPTION COMPLEX
The Absorption Complex starts with CinnulinPF, the only patented ingredient standardized for doubly linked Type-A Polymers. Science confirms this product’s ability to affect glucose transport through insulin signaling mechanisms. Combined with Creatine in the body, this patented ingredient can improve the level of absorption specific to muscle tissue.
Prickly Pear Extract (Opuntia phaeacantha), has a well-documented insulinogenic effect. Insulinogenics have the ability to reduce blood sugar and increase the uptake of nutrients such as Creatine without the presence of sugars, (typically required to assist in the absorption of Creatine.)
Bitter Melon Extract (Momordica charantia) affects insulin receptors by helping to maintain a healthy normal level of function. Scientists have recently discovered a functional unit found in a bitter melon extract that physically binds to insulin receptors and stimulates their activity, facilitating enhanced glucose uptake.
The result – a complex of potent ingredients designed to make CVOL unmatched in its ability to drive the effectiveness of patented, clinically tested ingredients to a completely new level.
