FAST&UP

While amino acid based supplements are present in the market in different formulations, FAST&UP is a unique product because it is generated by the effervescent technology that allows a greater bioavailability of its active ingredients. Therefore FAST &UP is almost completely assimilated. By complete dissolution in water FAST & UP is the ideal supplement for people who have swelling difficulties (elderly, debilitated, cachectic etc), for people who do not like ingesting capsules or tablets, or people who have digestive problems because FAST & UP does not need to be dissolved or digested by gastric secretion (that occurs with capsules and tablets) but it is already solubilized in liquid (preferably water).

What are the characteristics of FAST & UP and its beneficial use?
The main components of FAST&UP are the branched chained amino acids (BCAA, leucine, isoleucine and valine), glutamine, creatine and taurine. This combination is synergistic to improve the athletic performance and accelerate the recovery post –training or post-race.
The BCAA represent the 40% of the daily demand of essential amino acids of the body; their main characteristic, once absorbed and transported in the blood, is that they do not pass through the liver but they are directly taken up by the skeletal muscles.
The administration of BCAA before training counteracts the muscle catabolism, slows down the lactic acid build-up and stabilizes the glycemic index allowing a greater and prolonged physical performance. BCAA have a pro-energetic action favoring the production od alanin, source of glucose, and promoting formation of glutamine; they compete with triptophan in the central nervous system reducing serotonin synthesis that is responsable for the development of fatigue, somnolence and decline of attention typically occurring after an intense exercise.
The administration of BCAA after physical exercise, favors the maintenance of the lean muscle mass as these amino acids directly feed the skeletal muscle, potentiating its function; furthermore, BCAA accelerate the recovery processes allowing to anticipate the muscular compensation to the training stimuli improving the future performance. The more rapid the entry of BCAA into the muscle, the greater the speed and the ability for the muscle to recover. The effervescent technology of FAST&UP allows maximizing this critical phase.

Creatine is an amino acid derivative (alpha –methyl guanidil acetic acid) that in the phosphorylated form plays a role in the maintenance of the energy resources of the organism. The body’s capacity of regenerating ATP depends on the creatine’s storage that prevents the body from utilizing the energy derived from the glyocolysis that in turns produces lactic acid.
This “creatine-derived ATP” minimizes the production of lactic acid, permitting a more intense and prolonged training; this beneficial effect is useful during brief or long lasting exercises.
In summary, the presence of creatine in FAST&UP offers the following advantages:

Rapidly available energy
Increased resistance to fatigue
Increased strenght
Cellular hydration
Greater recovery
Incresaed buffer capacity
Maintenance of muscular tone
Increased metabolic activity

Taurine is an amino acid (with chemical structure different from amino acids)) that plays important role in several physiologic functions associated to the neuronal activity, the central nervous system, and the conduction of the impulses in the neuromuscular system, participating in the regulation of the electrical activity of the cell membranes, optimizing the entry of nutrients and the efflux of cellular debris.
Particularly important is taurine’s capacity of detoxifying metabolic substances that accumulate during intense training and physical efforts.
The use of taurine has beneficial effects on cardiac activity, muscular contractility as well as physical recovery. Almost fifty years ago in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that taurine acts as an insulin analog on carbohydrate metabolism improving the transport of creatine and amino acid inside the cells.

Glutamine is an amino acid that is converted to glutamic acid that is necessary for the synthesis of gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) and folic acid. Glutamic acid is an important metabolic factor in the production of energy; it works with vitamin B6, niacin (vitamin B3), and magnesium, and it is part of the glucose tolerance factor.
Glutamine per se contributes to the nitrogen balance content of the organism, it diminishes the craving for sugar and detoxiyfies the brain from NH3+ groups.

Athletes who consume FAST&UP regularly have confirmed the effects we have predicted based on FAST&UP composition.
If FAST&UP was taken before the physical effort, the athletes have noticed a greater level of energy, promptness of reflexes and mental lucidity; these effects were lasting during the exercise.
The consumption of FAST&UP after 1 hour and half of training has been described useful to maintain high levels of energy and delay the physical and mental fatigue.
When the athletes took FAST&UP immediately after the training they observed a more rapid recovery process. This last phase was particularly emphasized during the following day in which muscle pain and fatigue were remarkably reduced permitting to continue their regular training even in the case of a daily intense exercise.
In addition, the athletes who assumed FAST&UP noticed improvement of the quality of sleep, probably due to the action of taurine and glutamine, and a reduced stress that typically alters the sleep and tends to delay the sleeping time; the preservation of the quality of sleep induced by FAST&UP contributed to a better recovery from the physical and psycological stress of the competition.
Try FAST&UP then, the evolution of amino acid based supplements, and determine yourself the level of physical and mental improvement you can possibly experience.
