CREATINE:
Creatine (from the Greek kreas = meat), or methyl guanidinacetate, is an intermediate compound of energy metabolism (tripeptide nitrogen compound) synthesized by the liver and partly also by the pancreas starting from arginine, S-adenosyl methionine and glycine, and is used in mammalian muscles as an energy source during the first few seconds of muscle contraction. About two thirds of creatine is deposited in the body as phosphocreatine (PCr), while the remaining part is stored in free form.
Creatine has become one of the most studied and scientifically validated ergogenic supplements for athletes to promote physical performance during high intensity exercise [1]. Biochemically speaking, the energy provided to refosphorylate adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during and after intense physical exercise largely depends on the amount of phosphocreatine (PCr) deposited in the muscle [2] [3]. With the depletion of PCr stocks, the availability of energy decreases due to the inability to resynthesize ATP in the amount required to continue intense muscle activity (anaerobic alactic metabolism) [2] [3].
Consequently, creatine supplementation favors the availability of PCr allowing an accelerated rate of ATP resynthesis aimed at improving muscle recovery and efficiency [3] [4]. Creatine monohydrate (CM), marketed in the early 1990s, is the most common form of creatine, the basis of most of the most frequently used dietary supplements and food products. Since the late nineties, new alternative forms of creatine have been introduced to the market, aimed at improving some aspects such as solubility and efficacy, although often with little success. Even today, creatine monohydrate is one of the most effective, safe, and well-researched forms of creatine [5].
MID-CHAIN FATTY ACIDS (MCT):
The triglycerides composed of these fatty acids, or MCTs, undergo digestive processes that are substantially different from the triglycerides formed by long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). The digestion of LCFAs requires the activation of pancreatic lipase and bile salts. MCTs, on the other hand, do not require the emulsifying action of bile salts and are absorbed more easily. They are subsequently subjected to beta-oxidation just as quickly, that is the metabolic pathway that takes place in the mitochondrion and which leads to the production of energy starting from fats. Not having to bind to Carnitine to pass through the mitochondrial double membrane, the rate at which they are metabolized will be greater than the LCFAs, and therefore they will provide in comparison, a greater quantity of Acetyl-coA and therefore of energy in aerobic conditions.
The metabolism of MCTs therefore represents in this sense an alternative and / or complementary metabolic path to the carbohydrate and protein one, allowing a saving of glycogen, but also of amino acids in the muscle
ARGININE ALPHA-KETOGLUTARATE (AAKG):
Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate is a saline form, in which two molecules of arginine are associated with one of alpha-ketoglutarate. Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid for humans; in fact, the body is able to synthesize it endogenously through the urea cycle and falls within the group of glucogenic amino acids, from which glucose can be synthesized. Alpha-ketoglutarate is a very important keto acid from a metabolic point of view, since it represents a crossroads between catabolic and anabolic reactions. It is a metabolic intermediate of the krebs cycle, a process designed to promote the production of energy in aerobic conditions; it is part of the gluconeogenesis process, allowing the synthesis of glucose starting from non-carbohydrate sources such as amino acids; it is also a starting substrate for the synthesis of some amino acids such as glutamate (hence glutamine), proline and arginine.
BETA-ALANINA:
Β-alanine is an amino acid naturally present in our human body but is not found in food per se but as a peptide component. The interesting question about this amino acid in sports is that when it is combined with another amino acid, histidine, it forms a dipeptide known as carnosine. This substance is normally present in the muscles, and acts mainly as a buffer (a substance that has a buffering effect) to manage changes in pH and thus delay the onset of lactic acidosis in the muscle (muscle failure)
PHOSPHATIDYLSERINE:
In addition to being an important membrane phospholipid, especially of brain cells, phosphatidylserine participates in numerous neuroendocrine processes. Of fundamental importance is the role that phosphoserine plays in the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis as regards the lowering of blood cortisol levels. This would lead to a lesser sense of fatigue, for better performance and to strengthen muscle mass. [6]
LIPOIC ACID:
Alpha-lipoic acid, also known as thioptic acid, is known above all for its role as an enzymatic cofactor of many metabolic reactions, in the oxidative decarboxylation reaction of pyruvate, alpha-ketoglutarate, branched chain amino acids and above all it seems to be involved in the neutralization processes of reactive oxygen species as a radical scavenger [7-8]
