GAKIC^® is an advanced technological breakthrough that can help athletes immediately increase strength by 10.5-percent, and increase fatigue resistance by 28-percent.

GAKIC has been engineered to work quickly at the muscle fiber level, without the need for stimulants. GAKIC is truly revolutionary, as no one else in the industry has even come close to producing a supplement like it. GAKIC is the result of more than eight years of research at the University of Florida.

When training, metabolic fatigue sets in due to the buildup of various metabolic by-products which negatively affects exercise performance and inhibits some aspects of the muscle's contractile machinery. GAKIC^® helps your body deal with this metabolic fatigue and thus delays this moment of failure – helping you get more reps in. That's what GAKIC can do for you. And that's why it's so revolutionary. Once you train with GAKIC, you'll never want to train without it.

That's where GAKIC^® is different from anything else you've ever tried before. Studies show that subjects using GAKIC experienced an immediate 10.5-percent increase in strength after taking it. Not days or weeks later, but right after the very first dose! Just imagine if GAKIC 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 GAKIC can do this. And it shows that instead of “hitting the wall” when you normally would, GAKIC can help you lift longer than before. In the same above-mentioned study, GAKIC supplementation was shown to significantly increase fatigue resistance by up to an average of 28 percent when compared with the placebo. You do the math. More strength plus less fatigue equals better gains.

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^®, or a placebo (9.46 g sucrose) prior to exercise. After supplementation, subjects performed consecutive right 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 at 15 minutes. Significant changes in time taken to fatigue 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.

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.

No. GAKIC^® is not a creatine supplement. Creatine increases the regeneration of a primary muscle fuel source called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). GAKIC works at the muscle fiber level via a different metabolic mechanism than creatine. One of GAKIC's jobs is to remove fatigue toxins – toxins that prevent your muscles from making more ATP.

A whole new supplement category has been created for bodybuilders and other athletes. And with two separate studies backing the effectiveness of glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid calcium, you know this stuff is for real.

You should begin by reading the entire label carefully before use.
