Why you need AX Ultra Reps

What’s better than a guarantee? I mean, if a product guarantees results, what’s better than that? Results are better. A guarantee is a fine thing to put on the label, and we love the added bonus. The key factor is in the results. A product that offers a guarantee is almost like a test for customers. It says, “try me, I’m gonna work.” Well, that is not always the case. Fortunately for the masses, the word is out, and Ultra Reps works! Tried and true is coming for you!

What is Ultra Reps?

The first response is usually, “it’s a pre-workout, right?” or “Is a pre-workout or is an an endurance supplement?” This product goes well beyond the simple pre-workouts or endurance products on the market today.  It’s in it’s own category really.  It hits hard with proven ingredients that work. The ingredients are a potent group that provide you with 20 solid workouts per bottle. Oh, and a steady rep increase. This not only means additional strength, but size as well. So, when you have; weakened endurance, muscle fatigue, or issues with lactic acid, count on ULTRA REPS!

What are the ingredients?

Talk is one thing, but putting the proof in the pudding is another. The ingredients are nothing less than stellar, and we will look at each one in detail.

Enterically coated L-Carnosine (b-Alanyl-l-histidine
L-Carnosine is a dipeptide of two amino acids; beta-alanine and histidine. Carnosine is highly concentrated in various tissues throughout the body and specifically within muscles. Carnosine has the ability to increase the working threshold of muscles, thus allowing people to extend workouts. This translates into more reps, sets, and improved recovery. This addition to the ingredient profile is a no-brainer, it’s a must-have addition for its many benefits, specifically those who exercise. Ultra Reps is the first and only supplement to utilize this and you feel it working with your first dose.

Disodium Adenosine-5′-triphosphate
This is basically a supplement version of ATP. If you are not aware, ATP provides the initial burst of power and strength throughout the first few seconds of the lift. Adding ATP via supplement form provides an even greater benefit to increased power, recovery, and replenishment of ATP. The benefits of supplemental ATP are endless as ATP provides the body with endless benefits. ATP is pretty much the body’s version of green energy, as it is continuously recycled and replenished (there are different chemicals necessary to complete the recycling process). Another no-brainer, must-have addition!

German Creatine Monohydrate (Creapure)
The name creapure may ring a bell. The makers of creapure set out to make a standard of creatine that was not a level below perfect. Their focus is on pure quality. They choose quality raw ingredients, and test each batch for purity with chemical analysis. The step by step process is documented to ensure that each step is following protocol. Each bottle that is stamped with the creapure logo has the purest and highest quality form of creatine monohydrate. Creatine helps boost ATP stores to increase performance and strength in short bouts. If you are looking for a few extra reps per set, creapure is the answer.

N-Acetyl-l-tyrosine
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine is a form of Tyrosine, which is an amino acid. Tyrosine is a precursor to neurotransmitters and is known to increase levels of dopamine and norepinephrine. This form of tyrosine has an acetic acid attachment to increase the absorption of tyrosine and boost effectiveness. One trait of tyrosine is that it can help fight fatigue during exercise. Exercise can increase levels of serotonin and result in an increased ratio of serotonin to dopamine. Tyrosine may help reduce this ratio and help reduce the perception of fatigue. Again, the end result is YOU doing MORE reps.

Taurine
Taurine is listed as an organic acid. It is essential to the body for various skeletal muscle, cardiovascular, and central nervous system functions. Exercise capacity is reduced significantly without the presence of taurine. A study conducted on mice showed an 80% reduction, and it’s theorized that these results would translate similarly in humans. Simply put, if you want to move, you want taurine.

Trisodium Citrate dihydrate
This is a salt, and is comprised of 3 salts along with a few other atoms to make it a complete formula. Trisodium citrate has shown benefits, especially in runners, for improving performance. This product has many benefits geared towards bodybuilding and endurance. Especially since it can help buffer lactic acid which tends to build up during longer bouts of activity. When you begin to feel the burn on reps 10 and 11, thank trisodium citrate, as the burn could’ve kicked in a lot quicker!

Theobromine anhydrous
This is an alkaloid of the cacao plant. It is naturally found in chocolate. “Wait? Chocolate in pre-workout? seriously?” Yes, chocolate, in your pre-workout, oh you are most welcome! Now, it’s not exactly chocolate, but a component of chocolate. Theobromine acts mainly as a vasodilator based on its’ effects on the heart. Theobromine also is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor which raises intracellular cAMP. This makes it an important booster to round out the ingredient profile.

You may be thinking, “is that it?” Yes, that’s the extent of the list. The powdered workout products on the market are a kitchen sink full of items. As Marty Huggins would say, “It’s a MESS!” Yes, we brought in the broom, and cleaned it up. It’s time to get down to the basics, and keep the ingredients and there doses a bit more apparent. Like a good chef, the exact quantity of each may not be revealed, but the limited list definitely helps determine what’s in the product (and approximate amounts). The list of 30 ingredients could simply have sprinkles of what is listed. It shouldn’t be like that. The K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle rings true with AX!
