Nutrex: Volu-Gro

Nutrex Research Inc. has developed VOLU-GRO, which uses 60 grams of a very unique and ultra high-molecular weight carbohydrate called Long Chain Waxy Maize Starch per serving to accelerate creatine transport. Waxy Maize Starch is equally as strong in stimulating insulin as dextrose and maltodextrin, yet unlike these two sugars, Waxy Maize Starch is completely sugar free. Waxy Maize Starch has been suggested to pass through the stomach faster than dextrose or maltodextrin and therefore may not cause discomfort. In doing so Waxy Maize Starch acts like a pump, pulling creatine and water along with it into the bloodstream. This ensures that creatine and insulin are present in the bloodstream at the same time. A much greater amount of creatine can now be transported into the muscles due to synchronized levels of creatine and insulin in the blood.*

Additionally, if taken immediately after training, the Waxy Maize Starch element in VOLU-GRO may support restored muscular glycogen (muscle energy) faster than dextrose or maltodextrin.* This makes VOLU-GRO a valuable post workout creatine formula since it may support enhanced delivery of creatine to the muscles, but may also replenish glycogen stores much quicker causing the muscle cells to become super-hydrated.* The overall result is much greater muscle cell volumization, which may promote protein synthesis and nutrient transport; all major factors contributing to the continued support of muscle growth.* The fusion of creatine with long chain waxy maize starch as seen in VOLU-GRO has set a new standard in creatine supplementation.*

Sugar-free ultra-high molecular weight waxy maize starch is an efficient source to load glycogen and creatine into muscles. Waxy maize starch has an extremely low osmolarity rate and forms a very hypotonic solution when mixed with water. These two factors allow waxy maize starch to pass through the stomach quicker than any other carbohydrate. In doing so it acts like a pump pulling creatine and fluids along with it into the bloodstream.*

Consisting of 99% amylopectin waxy maize starch, it is suggested to encourage a prompt and pronounced insulin spike allowing for glucose and creatine to be pressed into muscle cells for cell expansion and super-hydration.* Creatine and glycogen loading may be maximized.*

Nutrex formulators believe that Waxy maize starch is one of the best carbohydrate sources for post-workout recovery as it replenishes muscular glycogen stores at a lightning fast speed hence supporting full-body recovery.*

Creatine supplementation is essential to enhancing the capacity of energy production during high-intensity workouts. Creatine has proven itself, time and time again, to improve exercise performance accounting for gains in strength, power, and repetitive speed work.* Long term creatine ingestion also accounts for significant gains in muscle mass accounted for intensity of workouts increasing due to more energy availability and augmentation of myosin heavy chain expression.* The harder you train, with increased myogenic regulatory factors from creatine supplementation, the more apt you are to experiencing considerable hypertrophy.*

Creatine monohydrate has also claimed its remarkable absorption capacity especially when in conjunction a powerful carbohydrate source like ultra-high molecular weight waxy maize starch.*

Magnesium makes a significant contribution to the glycogen loading system of VOLU-GRO. Muscle and liver glycogen formation from blood glucose may be enhanced as a result of magnesium supplementation.* Magnesium also serves as an electrolyte, especially when combined with potassium.

Phosphorous is a significant component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP), and phosphocreatine. All three are essential to providing energy to the body for all biological processes, enhancing energy provided for exercise performance.*

Potassium serves as an imperative electrolyte component for efficacious absorption of nutrients as well as clearing waste products from the body.* Furthermore, potassium serves to optimize muscle action and stimulation from respective nerve impulses.*
