LOADED WITH 23G OF 16 ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

RELOAD is in a classification of its own. A true recovery formula from the most trusted name in sports nutrition, NutraBio, who believes in using only the most efficacious, clinically dosed, and research backed ingredients on the market without all the fluff. RELOAD contain no proprietary blends, fillers, excipients, chemicals, or any other harmful or unneeded additives. Only ingredients shown by science to work and produce results. No corners were cut in making Post Recovery. It covers all the bases to help prevent muscle catabolism (breakdown) and fuel your anabolic desires using the following validated ingredients:

• 8000mg of BCAAs in the scientifically studied 2:1:1 ratio (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) shown to promote muscle growth, recovery, and reduce training related soreness.
• 5000mg of Glutamine to replenish energy for muscles (glycogen) after exhaustive exercise which may lead to quicker recovery.*
• 1500mg of L-Carnitine Tartrate to reduce oxidative muscle damage and muscular fatigue.*
• 500mg of L-Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate which promotes anabolic and anti-catabolic responses in the body which may play a role in boosting recovery.*
• 500mg of the amino acid Glycine; which plays a critical role in repairing damaged muscle tissue and is necessary for the biosynthesis of creatine.*
• 1600mg of Beta-Alanine to buffer the negative side effects of hydrogen ion accumula tion in muscles during and after intense exercise. This accumulation is thought to be the culprit behind DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).*
• 1500mg of Betaine Anhydrous to combat fatigue, lower levels of lactate, and stimulate muscle protein synthesis.*
• 1500mg of Taurine to decrease exercise induced muscle damage.*
• 1935mg electrolyte and hydration optimizer that helps maintain water balance in the muscle, facilitates motor neuron function, and increase exercise capacity.*

THE ULTIMATE POST-WORKOUT POWERHOUSE

While there are a multitude of products on the market that address pre, intra, and post workout supplementation, there are very few that address the nutrient and recovery needs of individuals after post workout supplementation, in between meals, and on non-training days. The strategic timing of proper nutrients, such as those found in RELOAD, taken over a 24 to 48-hour period after your workout ends can greatly affect levels of muscle protein synthesis (MPS); arguably the most important physiological factor in existence when it comes to muscle growth, strength, and recovery.* Without proper nutrients MPS is minimized and the body is thrown into a negative protein balance which may lengthen recovery time, extend muscle soreness, and lessen gains in strength and size.

NutraBio RELOAD was developed to address the time after post workout supplementation and in between meals to keep the MPS machine going. Multiple studies suggest that the ingredients found in RELOAD, coupled with other NutraBio products and a high protein diet, taken at specific intervals throughout the day promote higher net protein gains via increased amino acid availability and more frequent stimulation of MPS over a 48-hour period. This amplifies the muscle building response, ramps up repair, and promotes full body recovery. The chart below outlines a supplementation and diet protocol designed to maximize protein synthesis/recovery on training and non-training days:

FULL THERAPEUTIC DOSAGES FOR NO NONSENSE RESULTS

With RELOAD, you make no sacrifices – you get proven and powerful recovery agents, without the junk. RELOAD represents a commitment to quality NutraBio has made since day 1. This commitment involves using only the highest quality ingredients backed by research, effective doses, and no proprietary blends. Although the industry makes it seems like this is a new trend; the fact is NutraBio pioneered these concepts well over a decade ago. For us, it has never been a question of when a good time to start being honest is. We have always been the innovators, not the imitators. We focused on creating the most superior amino acid recovery solution, and we've done just that with our RELOAD.

No other recovery product on the market matches RELOAD’s level of transparency and potent combination of amino acids, performance enhancers, and electrolytes your body needs to go longer and harder while supporting optimal growth and recovery.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND NUTRABIO RELOAD

A closer look at the 16 ingredients and doses used to make NutraBio RELOAD the most effective and complete recovery formula on the market.

The essential amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine collectively form what is referred to as the Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). These amino acids are essential because they cannot be produced in the body and must be provided though supplementation or diet. BCAAs comprise approximately 30% of the total muscle protein pool and are the primary amino acids oxidized in the muscle during exercise and catabolic stress. For these reasons athletes supplement with BCAAs for the purpose of increasing muscle mass, reducing muscle damage, blunting fatigue, and increasing energy during exercise.

Hundreds of studies exist on the ergogenic benefits of BCAAs. The majority of them show that BCAAs, whether consumed throughout the day or pre, during, or post-exercise; decrease protein catabolism (breakdown) and support muscle protein synthesis…a physiological process responsible for muscle growth and repair. Furthermore, BCAAs are vitally important to glucose (energy) production; contributing to greater than 40% of glucose production during sustained endurance exercise.*

A study done in 2009 found that subjects who supplemented with BCAAs while following an 8-week resistance training program had a greater decrease in body fat, an increase in lean mass, and greater strength gains on the bench press and squat compared to the non-BCAA group.

The BCAAs found in NutraBio RELOAD are in the researched backed ratio of 2:1:1 (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) and come from plant sources as opposed to animal sources such as feathers or hair.

L-LEUCINE (4000 MG)

• Leucine is one of the essential branched chain amino acids (BCAA). By itself it can stimulate muscle protein synthesis; the process responsible for muscle growth and recovery. This is why it is often referred to as the “main” amino acid.*
• Supplementation with at least 2/grams daily leucine has been shown decrease muscle soreness, lessen recovery time between workouts, and increase lean muscle mass.*
• Howatson et al. (2012) discovered that leucine (combined with isoleucine and valine) administered before muscle damaging resistance exercises reduced indices of muscle damage and accelerated recovery in resistance trained males.*

L-ISOLEUCINE (2000 MG)

• Isoleucine, like leucine, is another BCAA that can stimulate muscle protein synthesis, but to a lesser when not combined with the other BCAAs. However, Isoleucine significantly increases glucose uptake and the usage of glucose during exercise; leading to greater energy production.*
• Nishimura et al. (2010) found that mice consuming a high fat diet in conjunction with isoleucine gained less fat mass than mice not receiving isoleucine. This was due to isoleucine’s ability to stimulate receptors (PPAR) that inhibit fat storage and increase fat burning.

L-VALINE (2000 MG)

• Valine, the third BCAA, promotes muscular endurance and decrease fatigue during exercise.*
• When exercising tryptophan is converted to serotonin and signals the brain that the body is fatigued…ultimately leading to a decrease in muscle strength and endurance.
• Since Valine competes with tryptophan for entry into the brain, and prevails, less serotonin gets to the brain; ultimately leading to stronger muscular contractions, quicker recovery between sets, and prolonged muscular strength and endurance.*

L-GLUTAMINE (5000 MG)

• L-glutamine is the most prevalent free amino acid in plasma and one of the most prevalent found in muscle tissue.
• L-Glutamine stimulates muscle protein synthesis and is effective at replenishing energy for muscles (glycogen) after exhaustive exercise which may lead to quicker recovery.*
• L-Glutamine may also increase cell volumization (hydration) and lead to increases in muscle hypertrophy.*
• L-Glutamine may also reduce protein breakdown and support immune function.*
• Lehmkuhl et al. (2003) found individual supplementing with glutamine and creatine monohydrate for 8 weeks increased body mass, lean body mass and initial rate of power production compared to placebo.

L-CARNITINE (1,500 MG)

• L-Carnitine is an amino acid that is derived from lysine and methionine and is essential for trans porting long-chain fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria for subsequent fat break down and energy production.*
• L-Carnitine has also been shown to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, muscular fatigue, and reduce soreness.*
• A study conducted by Volek et al. (2002) found that supplementation with L-Carnitine daily for one week in healthy resistance trained men was able to reduce markers of muscle damage after weight lifting. It was also discovered that biomarkers of oxidative damage reduced to baseline sooner than placebo.*
• Ho et al. (2010) discovered that middle aged males and females who supplemented with L-Carnitine over a 24-day period experienced less muscle damage and soreness following exercise and had less oxidative markers in serum after exercise.*

L-ORNITHINE ALPHA-KETOGLUTARATE 2:1 REACTED (OKG) (500 MG)

• OKG is a combination of two molecules of the nonessential amino acid, ornithine, bound to alpha-ketoglutarate. OKG has been shown to stimulate an increase in arginine, plasma gluta mate, and intramuscular glutamine, as well as stimulate production of nitric oxide synthesis, HGH, and IGF1.* The increases in these substances due to OKG promote anabolic and anti-catabolic responses in the body which may play a role in boosting recovery.
• OKG may also improve exercise performance by reducing ammonia concentrations in the blood thus lessening fatigue of working muscles.*
• OKG plays a supporting role in muscle protein synthesis*
• Suqino et al. (2008) found those supplementing with L-ornithine for 6 days were able to reduce perceptions of fatigue by 52% compared to placebo. The author also observed that ammonia accrual during exercise was reduced compared to placebo.
• NutraBio’s OKG is fully reacted, which means it is positively bonded. It is the exact same form that the positive research studies were based on.

GLYCINE (500 MG)

• Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that is used to help generate muscle tissue, assist with proper cell growth and production, and convert glycogen into energy. It also plays an important role in proper nervous system function.*
• Glycine is required for the biosynthesis of creatine. Glycine increases the body’s creatine levels and helps prevent the breakdown of muscle.*
• In the absence of glycine, damaged muscle tissue cannot be repaired.*
• Current research has suggested that glycine supplementation may support growth hormone (GH) levels 3-4 hours post exercise via its stimulatory agents acting upon the pituitary gland.* This support for GH theoretically could lead to faster recovery times and greater muscle growth.*

BETA-ALANINE (1,600 MG)

• Beta-alanine (BA) is a version of the amino acid alanine which serves as the precursor to carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) in skeletal muscle.*

BETAINE ANHYDROUS (1,500 MG)

• Betaine, scientifically referred to as Trimethylglycine, is a metabolite of choline. Betaine’s two main functions in the body are as a methyl donor and osmolyte. As an osmolyte, betaine protects proteins, cells, and enzymes from heat, dehydration, and other physiological stresses. As a methyl donor, betaine is used to convert homocysteine to L-methionine, and is therefore, a precursor to creatine.
• Doses of 2500-6000mg betaine daily may increase muscular strength, endurance, and total training volume.
• Betaine also plays a role in hepatic fat metabolism, promoting muscle protein synthesis, and has been suggested to increase nitric oxide levels.*
• A study conducted by the University of Connecticut found that individuals supplementing with 1.25 grams of betaine twice/daily increased bench press power 20%.

TAURINE (1,500 MG)

• Taurine is one of the most important, useful, and safest amino acids. Taurine is best known for its beneficial effects on the heart and cardiovascular system.* Early clinical research also suggests that taurine, in combination with caffeine, can produce improvements in mental performance. When the body engages in extreme physical activity, it no longer will be able to produce the necessary amounts of taurine, therefore supplementation becomes necessary.*
• Taurine is involved in the regulation of core body temperature and may help prevent heat stress and stroke.
• Taurine is also acts is an osmolyte; assisting the body in maintaining proper water balance.
• Zhang et al. (2004) found that individuals who supplemented with taurine for 1 week before an exhaustive exercise bout significantly improved time to exhaustion, VO2 max, and maximal workload. It also decreased exercise induced DNA damage.*

CALCIUM PHOSPHATE (176 MG), SODIUM PHOSPHATE (157 MG), POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE (102 MG)

• Calcium, potassium, and phosphorus are vital electrolytes needed to maintain bodily water bal ance and facilitate motor neuron function.*
• Electrolytes have been shown to prevent muscle cramps and are essential to normal muscular contractions.
• As we exercise electrolytes are lost through sweat and must be replaced in order to prevent decreases in performance.*
• Sims et al. (2007) discovered that pre-exercise ingestion of a high-sodium beverage increased plasma volume before exercise and involved less thermoregulatory and perceived strain during exercise and increased exercise capacity in warm conditions.
