Millennium Sport Tec Citruvol Ultra

Citruvol-ULTRA™

Citruvol-ULTRA™ is a target response endurance and nitric oxide potentiator that incorporates the power of Citrulline Malate, Beta Alanine (1000mg), Cordygen5™, Cnidium Monnier and L-Taurine AKG to maximize Nitric Oxide and ATP production as well as aerobic and anaerobic endurance. The ingredients in Citruvol-ULTRA™ have been clinically proven to enhance oxygen utilization and stamina.  Whether you are a bodybuilder, power lifter, triathlete, runner, cyclist, swimmer, boxer, martial artist, baseball, basketball or football player, athletes at all levels can improve their game using Citruvol-ULTRA™.*

Why Citrulline Malate?

1. Bolster Nitric Oxide Production  

Interesting to all athletes is its role of regulating nitric oxide (NO). The sport nutrition industry has been recently bombarded with nitric oxide formulas comprised of the amino acid L-Arginine and other L-Arginine salts (AAKG), which until today have been the most effective manner of bolstering nitric oxide production. It is well known that L-Arginine is a substrate for production of nitric oxide, as well as catalyst for other metabolic processes including its effects on insulin, various hormones and creatine synthesis. Nitric oxide is the cell-signaling molecule that has a part in regulating blood flow, oxygen delivery, glucose uptake, muscle firepower, and muscle growth. Obviously the ability to control these physiological effects can be of enormous value to athletes. Many of citrulline's functions come primarily from its ability to increase serum levels of arginine in the body and what is really exciting about citrulline is that it increases serum (plasma) arginine levels better than taking the same dose of the amino acid arginine itself, without pH buffering or time release technology.  Just remember that citrulline malate's nitric oxide enhancing properties are just the tip of the iceberg for benefits this compound offers to athletes. If the enhanced pumps and improved nutrient delivery properties are the reason you are using arginine based NO products, you need to take a serious look at citrulline malate.*  

2. Reduction in Lactic Acid and Ammonia  

L-Citrulline is an intermediate in the urea cycle. The urea cycle is a system in the liver where carrier molecules and enzymes convert nitrogenous wastes into urea and eliminates them from the body. The production and removal of urea is essential for the elimination of ammonia and toxic nitrogen metabolites. Ammonia is an extremely toxic compound to all cells and excessive levels may cause severe health effects and even death. Even in healthy athletes, the build up of ammonia can lead to extreme fatigue and poor performance. Ammonia also reduces glycogen formation, and inhibits the energy cycle. Ammonia build up is detrimental to all athletes. All forms of exercise, whether anaerobic or aerobic produce an abundance of ammonia. Ammonia also forms when intestinal flora (healthy bacteria) in the digestive tract break down protein. The higher the ammonia levels in your bloodstream, the poorer your athletic performance. Citrulline Malate aids in the elimination of amino acid byproducts of protein metabolism. Research suggests that citrulline malate may help to eliminate “the burn” associated with lactic acid build up as well as reduce the negative effects of ammonia and bacterial produced toxins on performance. The metabolic actions of citrulline malate explain the anti-fatigue properties in human studies and shows excellent application for its use as a performance enhancer for all athletes.*  

3. Increases ATP and Phosphocreatine Recovery  

One study shows that citrulline malate can help athletes by revving up aerobic energy production.  The study shows subjects using citrulline malate have an increased rate of muscle ATP (Andenosine Triphosphate) production during exercise and an increased phosphocreatine recovery after exercise.  Taking citrulline malate results in muscles that can keep performing over and over, completely smashing the aerobic threshold! These effects are more than likely brought on by the malate portion of the citrulline malate compound, which is an intermediate in the krebs cycle. The krebs cycle refers to a portion of the metabolic pathway of amino acids in the conversion of sugars and fats into ATP, and the role of mitochondria in our cells. The krebs cycle happens in the mitochondria, where sugar and fat are shuttled in and burned for energy, with a number of weak amino acids acting as catalysts. Impaired ability to make ATP results in premature fatigue and "hitting the proverbial wall", unable to continue intense exercise. It appears that malate is synergistic when bonded to citrulline and this peptide may work better than supplementation of L-citrulline alone.*  

Beta-Alanine (β-Alanine)

The addition of 1000mg of beta-alanine is the difference between the original Citruvol™ and Citruvol-ULTRA™. Beta-Alanine is an intramuscular carnosine booster that contributes to explosive power, strength and endurance. During periods of intense training or heavy lifting the muscles produce hydrogen ions (H+) that lower the pH in the muscle creating an acidic environment that is inefficient for optimal muscle performance. Beta Alanine works by increasing intramuscular carnosine levels to buffer fatigue & acid causing Hydrogen Ions allowing you to train more intensely for longer periods of time. Carnosine is primarily found in fast twitch muscle fiber responsible for explosiveness and power.  By buffering hydrogen ions carnosine allows these fast twitch fibers to fire more efficiently and fatigue slower, increasing overall strength, power & endurance.*

What Is CORDYGEN5™?

CORDYGEN5™ is a super potent blend of pure, 100% organic, bio mass grown Cordyceps Sinensis Hybrid, CS-4 Cordyceps Sinensis, Cordyceps Militaris, Cordyceps Sobolifera and Cordyceps Ophioglossoides and is exclusive to Millennium Sport Technologies.  CORDYGEN5™ has the ability to enhance oxygen utilization and ATP like no other cordyceps blend available. You are probably thinking “I’ve tried cordyceps before and it really wasn’t anything to write home about”. Well you haven’t tried the CORDYGEN5™ blend. The problem with nearly all of the cordyceps on the market is that it is imported from overseas manufacturers who have rapid cultured inferior products.  For example, most CS-4 on the market is cultured incorrectly yielding an ineffective product. CS-4 can be labeled as CS-4 whether cultured for 6 days or 6 months.  The potency of the CORDYGEN5™ cordyceps blend comes from the proprietary combination of cordyceps strains and the way these strains are cultured. The competition simply doesn’t come close.
