| Incarnate Palo Alto Labs Supplement Ingredients Beta Alanine : Beta-Alanine is an amino acid. Beta-Alanine combines with L-Histidine to form the naturally-occurring dipeptide Carnosine. Beta-Alaine, as a means of elevating Carnosine concentrations in muscle, is useful for anyone participating in explosive sports, such as sprinting, basketball, football and weight training. Carnosine is found primarily in type II muscle fibers. These are the "fast-twitch" fibers that are important for explosive sports, such as sprinting and weight training. Increasing the concentration of carnosine in muscle is important to athletes because Carnosine increases intramuscular hydrogen ion (H+) buffering capacity. The production of H+ leads to painful muscle fatigue and slow recovery time. Carnosine significantly increases your ability to work harder by preventing your muscle from becoming too acidic during intense physical exercise. The more Carnosine your muscle maintains the lower levels of acidity muscle, allowing you to train harder and longer. Cissus Quadrangularis 20% Ketosterones: Cissus Quadrangularis provides a unique array of vitamins, minerals, and plant sterol compounds (ketosterones) that work to develop and fortify muscle, bone and cartilage. While acting as conduit for nutrient delivery to tendon related injuries, Cissus Quadrangularis works to reduce pain from injuries to joints, muscles and cartilage. Studies have shown anabolic/androgenic compounds are well known to act as antagonists to the glucocorticoid receptor, it has been postulated that Cissus Quadrangularis possesses anabolic and/or androgenic properties.

Betaine HCl: Betaine hydrochloride is a non-essential nutrient and a source of hydrochloric acid, a naturally occurring chemical in the stomach that helps digest food by breaking up fats and proteins. In particular, Betaine HCL is necessary for adequate absorption of protein, calcium, vitamin B12 and iron. It is also known as hydrochloric acid and stomach acid. The low pH of the stomach's hydrochloric acid also destroys ingested bacteria and microorganisms. |
