Description:

Real Fuel It is a supplement created specifically to improve mental concentration and physical performance in any sport that involves mixed high intensity efforts such as Cross Training or team sports such as Football, Rugby, Volleyball, Basketball, Water Polo, Hockey, and also in combat sports such as Boxing, Judo, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, Ju-Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA. Creatine, L-Citrulline, L-Argininine promote a sudden restoration of ATP reserves for prompt energy and a reduced latency time between one contraction and another; β-Alanine allows an extension of the contraction time, delaying the onset of fatigue; Taurine guarantees and promotes muscle contraction as well as performing an anti-stress function; Caffeine, L-Theanine and Rhodiola Rosea help increase concentration during the training or competition session; BCAAs and B vitamins guarantee a substrate for all cellular processes during exercise; turmeric extract attenuates mild states of anxiety related to sports performance, as well as providing anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory protection; black pepper is an adjuvant to maximize the absorption of curcumin.

 A 15 g dose consists of:

- 3g of Creatine (Creapure™) for an instant increase in phosphocreatine (CP) stores[1], which is fundamental for ATP synthesis in high intensity efforts of short and medium duration; to ensure adequate hydration and hypertonicity of the cell[2], given the loss of liquids due to physical activity; for a reduction in fatigue[3] in chronic states and sleep deprivation[4]; for a better uptake of glucose into the cell[5] and therefore for its adequate use for energy purposes; for the increase in lean mass and diameter of type I, IIa and IIx muscle fibres[6].

- L-Citrulline it is an amino acid that promotes the synthesis of nitric oxide (NOS)[16,17] which doubles the levels of L-Arginine and L-Ornithine already present in the body[15], thus increasing the vasodilatory effect and therefore a greater influx of nutrients. Citrulline promotes glycogenolysis and glycolysis, thus increasing the production of ATP[18], essential for continuous muscle contraction. It also attenuates the depletion of phosphocreatine stocks (active form of creatine) and promotes its restoration[19], thus decreasing the waiting time in replicating an explosive gesture. 

- L-Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate is an amino acid that directly induces the synthesis of nitric oxide[20], thus increasing blood flow thanks also to the adjuvant action of Citrulline[21]. The administration of L-Arginine has been shown to increase anaerobic performance in sprints and delay the time to onset of fatigue symptoms[23]. L-Arginine also has a protective function of the β cells of the pancreas and improves insulin secretion[22]. The combination of L-Arginine and Creatine increases anaerobic performance and muscle mass, as well as improving the rate of ATP resynthesis during muscular effort[24].

- There Taurine It is another amino acid that is essential for muscle function, both in the osteomuscular and cardiac systems, as well as in the ocular system. In sports it is very useful in performance by improving aerobic capacity [26,27]. 

- There β-Alanine It is a modified version of the amino acid ⍺-alanine, and is the most important extracellular substrate for increasing the concentration of Carnosine inside the cell[28], responsible for the buffering effect on intramuscular pH, as well as a powerful  anti-aging molecule[29] and antioxidant[30], reducing protein degradation by reactive oxygen species (ROS)[31], reactive nitrogen species (RNS)[32], and advanced glycation end products (AGEs)[33]. β-Alanine has been shown to increase the expression of power in endurance strength[34,35] and in sprinters' endurance in repetition of maximal efforts[36]. β-alanine is particularly effective in all those sports where performance varies from 60 to 240 seconds[37], as in all sports with intermittent efforts.

- There Caffeine It is a natural alkaloid classified as a nootropic, that is, a stimulant that acts on the brain giving greater focus, reactivity and cognition, but it is also a mild anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, associated with the prevention of digestive system neoplasms [38,39]. L-Theanine is an amino acid contained in tea which together with Caffeine works synergistically in increasing concentration, mitigating the unwanted effects of the latter if in excess[40].

- A pool of branched chain amino acids, BCAA in a ratio of 2:1:1 (L-Leucine 1.0 g; L-Isoleucine 0.5 g; L-Valine 0.5 g), it promotes first of all glucose uptake via the PI3K/aPKC pathway, independent of the mTOR pathway and its use in the cell[7][8][9]. Furthermore, they perform a particular neuronal activation function[10], since they would compete with the same tryptophan uptake pathway[11], responsible for the increase in fatigue during training, so their integration before and during training would increase neuronal excitation via mTOR[12], thus allowing greater focus and a delay in the onset of fatigue[13][14].

- There Rhodiola Rosea It is an adaptogen that is associated with a reduction in physical and mental fatigue[41], an increase in cognitive function[42,43,44,45] and neuromotor function[43], a reduction in the margin of error[43], an increase in the attention span[46] and reaction time to stimuli[46], and more generally an improvement in the sense of well-being[43,44].

- There CAVACURMIN® It is a registered trademark dry extract of curcumin. Curcumin has been shown to prevent and block the degeneration of cognitive function in states of chronic stress [47,48], furthermore curcuminoids reduce depressive symptoms by increasing well-being [49,50,51,52]. Curcumin at the endothelial level has a protective function and increases the production of nitric oxide [53,54], and has finally been shown to be a molecule with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties [55]. Piper nigrum l. increases the absorption of curcuminoids by twenty times[56].
