Product Review: BodyTech Tech X Pre-Effect Pre-Workout from Vitaminshoppe


This is a winner. Especially when stacked with BodyTech Creatine & Glutamine with Beta-Alanine post-workout.

This pre-workout has everything you need to build muscle at a great price.






Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is made from the three amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. It helps the body regenerate ATP allowing you to keep pushing up weight. Creatine supplementation also helps pull fluid into muscle. The fluid within muscle which expands the tissue and gives it fullness.



Betaine
- Is a key osmotic/cellular hydration ingredient
- Enhances muscle fullness
- Acts as an energy enzyme protector
- Induces the conversion of homocysteine to methionine
- Elevates glutathione levels
- Promotes liver health
- Helps you maintain intracellular electrolytes
- Enhances metabolism 


Leucine
L-Leucine is the MVP of muscle protein synthesis and in anabolic muscle tissue reactions. This makes leucine the most important amino acid for athletes.


Citrulline Malate
Citrulline is converted to arginine in the body. Taking citrulline increases nitric oxide levels better than taking arginine. Citrulline also removes ammonia from the body increasing endurance and delaying muscle fatigue.  Citrulline combined with Malic Acid provides more ATP for muscular energy and endurance.

Beet Root
Beets are natural nitric oxide donors. They are a vegetable that are naturally high in nitrates. The nitrate load in the juice of beets (itself a root vegetable) may significantly reduce blood pressure, hinting that beets can improve NO levels in the body.



Beta-Alanine
In the body, beta-alanine combines with another amino acid, histidine, to form carnosine. Muscles with higher levels of carnosine are more forceful and can provide superior strength, endurance leading to greater mass gains. Studies have shown that subjects taking beta-alanine with creatine gained more muscle and lost more fat than subjects taking just creatine..
