Muscle Clinic PumpUp is a powdered preparation containing AAKG, i.e. arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, which supports the work of the circulatory system, among others, by dilating blood vessels, increasing the pump and muscle endurance.

AAKG is a combination of arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, which is characterized by high stability and efficiency in the body compared to arginine alone. Arginine is an endogenous amino acid, which means that the body is able to synthesize it on its own, but in some cases supplementation may be required, especially in people training strength and endurance sports.

Greater muscle pump

AAKG increases the production of nitric oxide , which affects the dilation of blood vessels, which improves blood flow to the muscles . As a result, more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to them, which is important in the process of their regeneration and growth.

In addition, a larger amount of nitric oxide can increase the feeling of a muscle pump , which is a side effect of using AAKG and is often appreciated by people training at the gym. The sensation of a muscle pump is due to the increased blood flow to the muscles and the increase in the volume of muscle tissues, which is important in the process of building muscle mass.

Impact on muscle endurance

The improvement of blood supply to the muscles affects the supply of more oxygen and glucose to them, which accelerates obtaining energy to perform more intense muscle work. Thanks to this, the body can perform exercises with greater intensity , which promotes the growth of muscle strength and endurance.

In addition, the increased availability of oxygen to the muscles reduces the secretion of lactic acid , which is a byproduct of glucose metabolism under anaerobic conditions. Lactic acid lowers the pH of the blood and muscles, which causes fatigue and muscle pain. The improvement of blood supply to the muscles enables more effective use of oxygen and reduces the production of lactic acid, which allows the muscles to work longer and more intensively without feeling pain.

Cardiovascular system and sexual performance

By increasing the production of nitric oxide, arginine can improve the blood supply to the genitals and improve sexual performance . Nitric oxide is a substance that affects the expansion of blood vessels, increasing blood flow and improving the function of the genitals.

In addition, nitric oxide affects the tone of blood vessels, which is important for regulating blood pressure . By dilating blood vessels, nitric oxide reduces vascular resistance, which can lower blood pressure .

The use of Muscle Clinic PumpUp 30 minutes before training will provide you with better blood transport to the muscle.
