SportsZyme 

SportsZyme provides a stable energy source to assist in exercise and competition. 

THE ENERGY YOU NEED TO COMPETE

60 capsules per bottle. No fillers. 

Recommended Usage: 
2 - 3 capsules taken prior to physical activity or exercise. Best results occur when taken with fruit juice or vegetable juice. 

Formulated for athletic or sports minded people, SportsZyme provides a stable source of energy during exercise or competition. Adenosine triphosphate is the common energy source used for all biological work done within cells. The energy gained following the breakdown of ATP to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) is used for skeletal muscle contraction during exercise. In addition to ATP, skeletal muscle has another high-energy phosphate, called creatin phosphate (CP), which can be used for the resynthesis of ATP. Physical activity in the form of muscular work or exercise demands large quantities of immediate energy.

Component Benefits:
Yerba mate leaf is an herb containing high quantities of nutrients. In fact, a group of investigators from the Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific Society concluded that Yerba mate contains practically all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life. It is difficult to find a plant in any area of the world equal to Yerba mate in nutritional value. Additional clinical studies done in France, Germany, Argentina and other countries conclude that Yerba mate leaf may be the most powerful rejuvenator known to man. Yerba mate rejuvenates the body and increases mental awareness through its wealth of nutrients. Unlike other rejuvenators such as caffeine, Yerba mate does not cause side effects such as nervousness and jitters.

Sida cordifolia is an ancient thermogenic herb from India. It is only now being discovered by Americans concerned with weight control. This herb will cause a slight increase in body temperature so that your body must burn more calories to maintain the increase.

Creatine phosphate serves as a reservoir of high-energy phosphate bonds in muscle and nerve tissues. This helps to maintain the ATP levels during muscular activity which quickly depletes the ATP. Therefore, increases in creatine phosphate levels should theoretically delay fatigue in repetitive, exhaustive, short-term exercise. Creatine phosphate is considered the high-energy phosphate "reservoir" used for the resynthesis of ATP, providing the most rapidly available source of ATP for muscular contraction.

CoEnzymeQ10 is the enzyme necessary for the mitochondria to work. It is present in the electron transport system in the mitochondria. This co-enzyme also participates in the Krebs cycle known as succinate dehydrogenase-co-Q-10 reductase. Cells do not use nutrients consumed in the diet for an immediate supply of energy. Instead, they prepare an energy-rich compound called ATP ­ the fuel used for all the energy-requiring processes within the cell. CoQ10 is an enzyme which helps change nutrients into ATP. CoQ10 deficiency can result in premature aging and obesity.

Glutamine is necessary for connective tissue and musculoskeletal healing. Much recent study has shown glutamine as being exceptionally important to metabolism. Dr. Douglas Wilmore of Harvard Medical School says glutamine is a key to metabolism and maintenance of muscle. In addition, it is essential for DNA synthesis, cell growth and repair, and is a primary energy source for the immune system. Dr. Alan Gaby reported in the Townsend Letter for Doctors that glutamine can reduce allergic reactions. It also promotes mental alertness and gives a lift to those who are tired or depressed. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found glutamine is an effective way to raise hormone levels. During times of stress, muscles discharge glutamine into the bloodstream. The older your get, the more stress effects your body, resulting in depleted levels of glutamine in your muscles. Energy and nucleic acid metabolism in immune cells also depend on an adequate supply of glutamine. Research indicates trained athletes have less stored glutamine in their body.

Protease is the strongest antioxidant known to man and is in this formulation for this very reason. Protease will assist in the delivery of nutrients and be a beneficial assistant in the blood.
