BetaGen is the first formula to combine university-tested EAS HMB (ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate monohydrate) and Phosphagen creatine monohydrate.

Betagen HP is the first formula to combine university-tested EAS HMB (ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate monohydrate) and Phosphagen brand creatine monohydrate along with the amino acids taurine and glutamine — the two most abundant amino acids in muscle tissue. This formula is now improved with the addition of more glutamine, more taurine, plus the antioxidant vitamins C and E, and a full array of B-vitamins.

Several additions have been made to BetaGen HP to enhance the overall effectiveness of the product. These improvements include:

More glutamine (2g)—Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue, and among other functions, is responsible for recovery and repair of muscle tissue. Research has found evidence that glutamine is important for the maintenance of skeletal muscle protein levels. For individuals engaged in intense exercise, glutamine may exert a beneficial effect on immune system strength, cell volumisation, and protein synthesis.

More taurine (500mg)—Early research on the amino acid taurine showed that it possesses insulin-mimicking characteristics that may be valuable for nutrient transport. Current investigation of taurine demonstrates its involvement in the control of muscular contraction. Significant losses in taurine may decrease muscle contractility, and consequently, exercise performance. By offsetting taurine loss, the benefits of high intensity exercise including strength and lean mass gains may be increased.

Vitamins C and E — Whether you lift weights or run, the body produces free radicals. The body’s internal antioxidant defense systems can handle the challenge of dealing with free radicals at low levels of exercise intensity, however elevated intensity levels may require supplemental defence. The addition of vitamins C and E may support the overall recovery process, as they provide immune system support and antioxidant protection from free radicals. These powerful antioxidant vitamins may help hard-training athletes avoid the negative consequences of overtraining. Research on the effects of vitamin C on exercise performance indicates that ascorbic acid may prevent the formation of exercise-induced free radicals.

B-vitamin complex The B-vitamin complex serves a wide variety of functions in the body, including growth and repair of body tissues, healthy cell development, nervous system function, and metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. In particular, vitamins B6, B12, and Folic acid are important for the synthesis of hormones and red blood cell production. Paying major attention to vitamin and mineral intake, specifically B vitamins, zinc and chromium, is required to optimise carbohydrate metabolism, the ultimate limiting factor for sport performance. Ensuring that sufficient levels of the B-complex are available in the body may optimise the function of the nervous system and metabolically active tissues (muscle) to achieve maximal athletic performance.
