What is GlycoCarn® and how does it work?
Our Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine (GPLC) is Sigma-tau brand and coined GlycoCarn®. (The only proven GPLC)
GlycoCarn is proven to increase nitric oxide (NO) levels
in humans. Higher NO levels increases blood flow to skeletal muscle and
the heart, leading to greater oxygen and nutrient delivery both during
and after exercise -- aiding in both performance and recovery.
How is GlycoCarn better than other NO boosting products?
You have also probably seen L-arginine and arginine based amino
acids such as arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) and arginine esters
being pushed by supplement companies as being the holy grail at
increasing NO production.
However, This is a lie.
The truth is, research clearly shows that oral supplementation of
arginine based amino acids do not increase circulating NO levels or
enhance blood flow, even at doses as high as 20g/day. (1-3) The only
time arginine has ever shown a positive effect on blood flow is by
large dosages given via intravenouss injection. (1)
While arginine may be the primary precursor to NO biosynthesis, it
has not been found to be the rate limiting component of NO production.
Rather, nitric oxide synthases such as endothelial nitric oxide
synthase (eNOS) appears to be the primary rate limiting factor. (4)
This is where Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine (GlycoCarn) comes to
dominate the market. GlycoCarn has been proven to increase the
endothelial nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide (NO) levels in human
muscle. (5) Human clincal trials have also demonstrated Glycocarn to
increase nitric oxide (NO) levels from exercise stimulation -
What results can I expect?
The following results may be noticed in as soon as 1-2 weeks -
- More stamina & power
- Bigger, fuller muscles
- Faster recovery
In fact, GlycoCarn is the ONLY ingredient that has been proven to
raise NO levels and provide a performance boost in humans after oral
supplementation.
Just take a look at the boost in sprinting performance from GlycoCarn supplementation -
How does Glycocarn enhance stamina?
Aside from increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to the heart
and muscles, Glycocan can also control lactic acid levels. (6) Lactic
acid is the burn you get in your muscles when they are about to fail.
This attribute is extremely popular in athletes, bodybuilders, and endurance trainers.
Athletes from this study who supplemented with 4.5 gram of GlycoCarn
achieved lower levels of lactic acid buildup compared to placebo (despite producing more power than the placebo group) –
How much should I take?
You NEED to be taking at least 4.5 grams of GlycoCarn to experience
its effectiveness. This is noted in the studies done on GlycoCarn.
Don’t waste your time anything less than the full clinically proven dose of GlycoCarn.
