Orotic Acid for Muscle Growth and Faster Recovery

Bulksupplements Pure Orotic Acid Powder (100 grams) 

From the manufacturer:

Regarded as an effective sports supplement, Orotic Acid (OA) is a pyrimidinecarboxylic acid typically used as a mineral carrier in order to increase bioavailability. On its own, OA is supplemented to enhance athletic performance, promoting muscle growth and faster recovery. For maximum results in the gym, OA is frequently stacked with Creatine to boost power production.

Stack with Essential Amino Acids or Whey, Ecdysterone, Taurine, Betaine and Glycine for a better recovery boost. Take all as directed.

Maximize Your Muscle Building and Recovery with Cellucor Alpha Amino

Cellucor Alpha Amino Acid Supplement with BCAA, Fruit Punch, 13.4 Ounce

Kick-start your recovery and muscle building with Cellucor's new Alpha Amino. I tried three flavors including Icey Blue Razz, Lemon Lime and Watermelon. My favorite turned out to be Lemon Lime although all were very good. Some amino acid drinks have a strong aftertaste. This was not the case with Alpha Amino.

As far as the blend, you know I am a huge believer in BCAAs and Cellucor has provided the right amount along with essential amino acids (EAA) to complete the formula. Think of it this way. BCAA's start the engine and EAA's fuel the muscle repair.

Additionally, I typically experience muscle cramps after leg days and Cellucor provides a remedy in the form of coconut water and chia seed powder.

All in all I rank this a one of the best amino acid products produced this year.

Cellucor Alpha Amino Contains:

5,000 mg
Leucine - the king of protein synthesis kicks off muscle building via mTor pathway.
Isoleucine - prevents muscle protein deterioration during exercise.
Valine - fuel for muscle building reactions and used in muscle protein synthesis.

2,500 mg
Glutamine - recovery and anti-catabolic.
Alanine - converted by the liver to glucose during strenuous exercise.
Arginine - nitric oxide production and protein synthesis.
Citrulline - nitric oxide production and reduces lactic acid and ammonia.
Tyrosine -converted into dopamine and norepinephrine resulting in increased energy and focus.
Histidine - converts to histamine, a powerful blood vessel dilator.
Lysine - precursor for L-Citrulline and L-Carnitine and is crucial for the formation of collagen.
Phenylalanine - raises insulin secretion which can help with muscle growth following workouts.
Threonine - supports cardiovascular, liver, central nervous, and immune system.
Methionine - Creatine precursor and supports joint heal.

Hydration Blend
Taurine - pulls fluid in the muscle expanding the tissue creating greater potential for growth.

Yeah... of course epidemiologists count this as a "red meat meal" - it has "red meat" in it... wait, ah yeah: More likely pink slime, with some totally benign ammonia in it, you are right ;-) Those of you who have been around here at the SuppVersity for some time, may have

High or Low Protein? Milk, Whey, Casein or Soy? In the End It Could Make Less of a Difference Than You Thought!

Image 1: All macronutrient ratios aside, my gut tells me that I cannot go wrong with something as delicious as a piece of steak (img. picturesdepot.com) - I don't know if that is what scientists call the "gut brain axis", though *lol* At least those of you who make sure, they get their daily dose of SuppVersity news should actually remember the "Bray study" (cf.

Set to Be Obese? Epigenetic Programing in Utero - The Roles of Over- & Undernutrition, High & Low Protein, Fruits, Veggies, Zinc, Magnesium, Chromium, Vitamins & More

Image 1: Your mother's diet is not the sole cause of your love handles and health problems, but it could well have tipped the scale to your fat disadvantage. Don't be resentful, but don't repeat the same mistakes, either! While it is certainly false to assume that anyone can't help but to get obese, it's similarly hard to deny that some people just have to cut back on the coke and sweets they

A Tale of Macro- & Micronutrient Modifications: Eating "Unlimited Protein" Will Make You Fat. A Hypercaloric Low Protein Diet With a Large Amount of Arginine Won't!

‎Saturday, ‎February ‎11, ‎2012, ‏‎12:50:46 AM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

Image 1: The main message of the Bray study (according to Bray himself is) that you won't get away with consuming way more energy than you need - no matter how much of this energy comes from protein. Even if you have not read it on the SuppVersity Facebook page, or in the comment section of one of the previous posts, I am sure that most of you all will have heard, or rather read, the fuss

High Carb vs. High Fat for Obese Type II Diabetics and What Really Happens, When Science Meets Real Life

‎Monday, ‎February ‎06, ‎2012, ‏‎11:12:35 AM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

Image 1: "You told me to eat more protein and this burger has both meat and cheese!" - This and other mishaps are among the reasons why calories still count in the books of most dietitians. Today's SuppVersity post fits in nicely with the latest installment of the Intermittent Thoughts from yesterday and the post on the "heart-healthy low fat diet" from Friday, as it is about one of the few

Sugar Addicted or Just Stressed Out? Study Investigates Modulatory Effects of Different Macronutrient Compositions on Serotonin in the Presence and Absence of Stress

"Sugar addiction" is a recurring theme in the blogosphere and whether it exists or not and what potential causes and

You Don't Want to Gain Muscle? Then You'd Better Avoid Animal Protein. Additional(!) 200g of Pork a Day Build Lean Mass and Improve Blood Lipids and Glucose Levels.

Image 1: I don't know about the barbecue sauce, but without it, this lean pork fillet would be a healthy muscle builder (image by Wikipedian Kbh3rd) "Meat is unhealthy!", "Muscle is unaesthetic!" and "I don't want to look like a man!", if you recognize your own line of thinking in these statements, you probably are a women and certainly not a regular visitor of the SuppVersity.

Despite the Fukushima disaster and the possible contamination of seafood and algae from the pacific ocean, seaweed still has a very good reputation among the health & longevity "experts" (especially those who happen to sell respective supplements). Figure 1: Algae cake (left) and differently processed algae (right); pictures as they appear on homepage of Dr V Sivasubramanian And though I do

Green Tea Inhibits Fat Gain, But Will It Also Hinder Muscle Gain? Decreased Protein Absorption in Rats Supplemented With Green Tea Extract

‎Monday, ‎April ‎04, ‎2011, ‏‎8:40:00 PM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

It has gotten relatively quiet around green tea within the past weeks. Everybody knows about its anti-oxidant effects, its modest efficacy as a weight loss supplement and the relaxing effect of taking a time-out from the stressors of daily life with a good cup of freshly brewed tea. Now, scientists from Poland (Bajerska. 2011) found another interesting, yet not so beneficial property of green tea

Effects of Macronutrient Composition on Metabolic Signaling: Higher Protein Diet Favors Glycogen Storage in Muscle Over Adipose Tissue

Those of you who have already listened to the latest, revamped (and improved) episode of Dr Scott Connelly's BodyRx Show will already have heard of Suzanne Devkota's and Donald K Layman's study (Devkota. 2011) on the effects of different meal compositions on the postprandial glucose disposal.

Protein's Effects on Gene Expression: Higher Protein Lower Carbohydrate Diet Spares Gylcogen, Lowers Insulin and Reduces Lipogenesis

‎Wednesday, ‎March ‎23, ‎2011, ‏‎12:51:04 AM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

High protein diets have become the "gold standard" within the fitness community. On the countless bodybuilding, fitness and weight loss related bulletin boards on the Internet, athletes, gymrats and even overweight house-wives report outstanding benefits of a higher than normal protein intake on weight gain and/or fat loss. French scientists (Stepien. 2011) have now taken a closer look at the

Hungry? Better Eat Whey than Soy! Rats Receiving Soy Supplement Consume More Calories.

‎Thursday, ‎February ‎24, ‎2011, ‏‎8:20:00 PM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

Lately, whey protein is all the rage. Rightly, as it seems! A recent study on the effect of protein supplementation on appetite and calorie consumption in rats showed that whey is way superior to soy protein in inducing satiety and reducing caloric intake. For 10 weeks rats were fed a standard diet (control), or a high protein diet, with either 24% whey or isoflavone-free soy protein added to

Overweight Korean Adults Benefit from Protein Rich "Oriental" Diet - More than from Conventional Diet Program.

‎Wednesday, ‎February ‎23, ‎2011, ‏‎12:16:05 AM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

Americans and Europeans are by no means the only people with unhealthy weight problems. Korea, where the traditional diet is gradually replaced by an Americanized fast-food diet, faces a similar obesity epidemia. The solution, on both sides, appears to be the same: a significant increase in protein intake. Compared to a 2006 conventional dieting regime the subjects who participated in the 12

High Protein Diet Safe for Bones! Acid Load due to Meat Protein does not Compromise Calcium Metabolism.

Reading the caption of this post, some of you may rightly ask themselves: "Why does he even mention this? Of course, meat is safe - meat is natural and eating meat is what man is made for!" So, if you already knew all that, you can stop reading now. If, however, you still belong to the misguided brotherhood of the followers of the holy food pyramid with your "healthy" grains, pasta and cereals at

Macronutrient Ratio of a Meal does not Impact Psychological and Physiological Stress Response

‎Saturday, ‎February ‎12, ‎2011, ‏‎5:58:51 AM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

Many people say: "I need my carbs to relax!" But is it actually true that high-carb meals facilitate better stress management? According to a recently published study (Lemmens. 2011) this claim belongs to the realms of nutritional mysticism - at least in the short run. Subjects (n = 38, 19m/19f, age = 25±9 yrs, BMI = 25.0±3.3 kg/m2) reported to the lab

Lower Protein to Carb Ratio Impairs Akt/TOR Signaling Pathway after Fasting in Rainbow Trout

‎Wednesday, ‎January ‎12, ‎2011, ‏‎8:06:00 PM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

"Boy, you need your carbs post workout!" This cornerstone of conventional bodybuilding wisdom is crumbling and a new study, if it had been done in humans, not in rainbow trout, would potentially refute this myth once and for all - at least, if one follows the popular (but false) assumption that it is because you are in a carb depleted or overall fasted state after a strenuous workouts. A group

1.86 g EPA + 1.5g DHA Augment the Hyperaminoacidemia-Hyperinsulinemia–induced Increase in the Rate of Muscle Protein Synthesis

‎Sunday, ‎December ‎26, ‎2010, ‏‎12:59:28 AM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

MPS, the acronym for "muscle protein synthesis", certainly is an eye-catchers for everyone interested in building sleeve bursting arms. Obviously, the at which (dietary) proteins are incorporated into muscle tissue is an important factor in how much and how fast your muscles will grow. Scientists from the Washington University, School of Medicine (Smith. 2010) have now conducted a randomized

Both, Protein and Carbohydrate After Workout Ineffective in Ameliorating CK-Response and Muscle Soreness After Exercise

‎Friday, ‎December ‎17, ‎2010, ‏‎8:31:00 PM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

While people keep debating, whether you need or you do not need carbs post workout, a very recent US-study (Dahlstrom Burnley. 2010) shows that neither protein nor carbs effectively protect against CK-elevation and muscle soreness following an excentric strength training session. Figure 1: Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity according to treatment. *There was no significant difference

Dieting: Nutrient Composition Probably Less Important than On-Going Low vs. High Carb Debate Suggests

In a soon to be published study Kerksick, et.al. (Kerksick. 2010) investigated the effect of 6 dietary regimens on weight loss in 141 obese women (38.7 +/- 8.0 yrs, 163.3 +/- 6.9 cm, 93.2 +/- 16.5 kg, 35.0 +/- 6.2 kg*m-2, 44.8 +/- 4.2 % fat). Interestingly, the members of all groups with restricted dietary intake + exercise achieved similar rates of weight loss (cf. Figure 1) Figure 1: Changes

I think while I do not have to repeat the importance of a healthy diet, especially the women among you may still think of pasta, rice, grain and vegetables as being the primary or even single ingredient in such a diet, so I consider it my duty, to report the results of a 2010 study (Jung. 2010) published in the October issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.

Further Evidence: High Protein Diet Conserves Lean Mass

‎Thursday, ‎September ‎30, ‎2010, ‏‎12:09:00 AM | noreply@blogger.com (Adel aka Dr. Andro)

It is becoming common knowledge that consuming a diet (relatively) high in proteins conserves muscle mass. Thus, a recent study by Case & Haub (Case. 2010) only confirms what regular visitors of the SuppVersity obviously knew. The scientists investigated the effect of either a high carbohydrate (CHO; 65% carbohydrates, 15% protein and 20% fats), a "high protein" (PRO; 40% carbohydrates, 30%

In a study published in the most recent issue of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition of Morenga et al.
