Targeted Antioxidants

Have you ever fallen ill after an intense training or exercise? Over-training and stress can wear and age your body. When free radicals roam within your body, your immune mechanism is susceptible to attack.

Vitamin C and B Complex are absolutely necessary in times of stress. Vitamin C, one of the most potent antioxidants, supports healthy cells, promotes faster muscle recovery, and increases the performance of the immune system.

The B Complex helps release energy for cellular regeneration and support amino acid and protein synthesis. In addition, the powerful OPC blend (grape seed extract and maritime bark extract) and several other vitamins kick your antioxidant defense up a notch. Your cells stay youthful, and you feel stronger and healthier each day!

Antioxidants care for the health and the youth of your cells. Moreover, they support the immune system and the body in times of stress.

Rapid Replenishment Technology

Is the sports drink you're using effective? Unicity's exclusive Rapid Replenishment Technology not only delivers a blend of essential electrolytes, energy-efficient nutrients and antioxidants, but also delivers it in an effective manner. Our secret? Low osmolality -- hence, "LowOz."

Osmolality is the measurement of solid particles in a liquid. For example, the average osmolality of blood is 250. It's difficult for the body to absorb liquids with osmolality ratings higher than 250. Most of the leading sports drinks have ratings above 250, which means your body doesn't absorb them efficiently even if your body is dehydrated. LowOz's osmolality rating is only 150, which means that the ingredients essential to combating dehydration are quickly and efficiently absorbed by your body.

Low osmolality allows ingredients essential to combating dehydration to be rapidly absorbed by your body.

Adaptogenic Herbs

When your body is under stress, your bodily equilibrium is thrown off balance. Imagine training or competing when your body is off balance -- do you think you can do a good job under such condition? Adaptogenic herbs help your body maintain homeostasis (equilibrium) in the face of stress. With these ingredients, the body is better equipped to cope with these responses. The adaptogenic herbs include Rhodiola rosea, Korean ginseng, and Eleuthero senticosus.

Adaptogenic herbs such as ginseng help the body maintain homeostasis in the face of stress.


protease enzyme and protein

Protein is the foundation for building lean muscle mass, but it is only useful when it is absorbed. QuadPlex™ protein complex includes 4 different proteins for fast and slow protein metabolization.

Whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate are fast-metabolizing proteins, giving you instant protein right after a workout. Milk protein isolate and calcium caseinate are slow-metabolizing proteins?\they take a while to get metabolized, so your body has a steady supply of protein to metabolize throughout the day. This way, your muscles are constantly nourished and results are pronounced sooner.

How else can you improve protein absorption? Protease enzyme is the answer. This special enzyme enhances the absorption of protein and enables your body to utilize more amino acids. Protease enzyme optimizes your protein supplementation.

Ingredients Function Other Notes
Whey Protein Isolate Fast-metabolizing Contains 90-98% protein. Considered the crown of protein supplements.
Whey Protein Concentrate Fast-metabolizing Contains 70-85% protein.
Milk Protein Isolate Slow-metabolizing Takes longer to get metabolized, so your body has a steady supply of protein all day long.
Calcium Caseinate Slow-metabolizing Takes longer to get metabolized, so your body has a steady supply of protein all day long.
Protease Enzyme Enhances protein absorption An ingredient found in high-end and advanced protein supplements.
 

BCAAs

All athletes try to prevent the loss of muscle, so the catabolic effect of using your muscle proteins for energy is not wanted by anyone! The BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) required to maintain muscle tissue, preserve the muscle stores of glycogen, and prevent muscle tissue breakdown during training) are utilized for energy instead of the muscle proteins. All good whey protein should contain plenty of BCAA's.

Does QuadPlex™ have them? Absolutely!


L-Arginine

L-Arginine is an amino acid that helps speed muscle recovey from stress. After a vigorous workout, dietary arginine can contribute to a hormonal environment that produces increased protein synthesis and muscle growth.
