MuscleTech Gakic Hardcore

Your Frequently Asked Questions about MuscleTech Gakic Hardcore

Q: After experiencing the instant HIGH (surge in strength and focus - as it says do not take within 5 hours of bed) is there an expected LOW were you feel tired after?    Read...
A: There should be no "crash" after taking Gakic Hardcore. Gakic Hardcore is an amino acid formula & shouldn't leave one feeling flat. This with its muscle building, revovery & lactic acid buffering benefits is why Glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic Acid (Gakic) is so popular.

Q: Does GAKIC Hardcore contain creatine?   Read...
A: No. GAKIC® Hardcore is not a creatine supplement. Creatine increases the regeneration of a primary muscle fuel source called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). GAKIC Hardcore works at the muscle fiber level via a different metabolic mechanism than creatine. One of its jobs is to remove fatigue toxins – toxins that prevent your muscles from making more ATP. A whole new supplement category was created for bodybuilders and other athletes with the introduction of the original GAKIC. The newly developed hardcore version falls into the same classification. With two separate studies backing the effectiveness of glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid calcium, you know this stuff is for real.

Q: Can you tell me more about the studies backing the effectiveness of GAKIC Hardcore?   Read...
A: In a double-blind, randomized, crossover-designed study conducted at the University of Florida by Stevens et al. (2000), participants ingested either glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid calcium, the primary ingredients in GAKIC® Hardcore, or a placebo (9.46 g sucrose) prior to exercise. After supplementation, subjects performed consecutive isokinetic knee concentric and eccentric contractions. Measurements were taken during the last 5 reps of each set. Sets were performed at 0 minutes, 5 minutes and 15 minutes. Significant changes in Fatigue Resistance Index of up to an average of 28 percent were recorded when compared to the placebo (see Table 1). Treatment also increased the mean total work per set by an overall 10.5 percent over the 15-minute period (see Table 1). Based on this study, the researchers concluded that glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid calcium treatment increases the ability to sustain muscle force, delays fatigue and increases total muscle work.

Q: Will I feel anything after taking GAKIC Hardcore? If so, how soon after?   Read...
A: That's where GAKIC® Hardcore is different from anything else you've ever tried before. One study shows that subjects using GAKIC Hardcore experienced an immediate 10.5 percent increase in strength after their very first dose! Just imagine if GAKIC Hardcore could do the same for you. Imagine stepping in the gym with more strength than you've ever had before. Imagine heading into your set ready to make your previous best look like a warm-up. The science shows that this incredible strength-enhancing supplement can do this. And it shows that instead of “hitting the wall” when you normally would, GAKIC Hardcore can help you lift longer than before. In the same study mentioned above, subjects supplementing with GAKIC Hardcore significantly increased muscle growth stimulus by up to 28 percent vs. a placebo. You do the math. More strength equals better muscle gains. In another double-blind, randomized, crossover-designed study conducted by Buford et al. (2004), subjects were given glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid calcium or a placebo before exercise and were monitored during repeated bouts of anaerobic cycling performance. Subjects performed a series of five 10-second sprints against resistance. Results indicated glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid calcium treatment significantly decreased the drop in mean power between the first and second sprints, resulting in a longer time taken to fatigue. The researchers concluded the findings obtained from this study supported the work of Stevens et al. (2000) at the University of Florida.

Q: How does GAKIC Hardcore work?   Read...
A: While training, metabolic fatigue sets in due to the build-up of various metabolic by-products. This negatively affects exercise performance and inhibits some aspects of the muscle's contractile machinery. GAKIC® Hardcore helps your body deal with this metabolic fatigue and thus delays this moment of failure – helping you get more reps in. Powered with Nanomolecular Hyperdispersion Technology™, GAKIC Hardcore goes to work faster, fueling your muscles for more strength, power and performance. Once you train with GAKIC Hardcore, you'll never want to train without it!
