BetaGen HP
EAS Betagen, 90 servings
EAS BetaGen is the new “high performance” version of the original BetaGen—the
first formula to combine University-tested HMB (ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate
monohydrate) with Phosphagen brand creatine. Supplementing your comprehensive
exercise routine with BetaGen may:
- Increase lean mass and strength
- Suppress muscle protein breakdown
- Enhance muscle energetics and recuperation
Betagen is a great tasting drink mix that's simple and convenient to use.
This remains one of the most popular creatine products on the market.
EAS Betagen Q&A
Q: What is different about BetaGen HP from the original BetaGen?
A: Several additions have been made to BetaGen HP to enhance the overall
effectiveness of the product. These improvements include:
More glutamine (2g)—Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle
tissue, and among other functions, is responsible for recovery and repair of
muscle tissue1. Research has found evidence that glutamine is important for the
maintenance of skeletal muscle protein levels. For individuals engaged in
intense exercise, glutamine may exert a beneficial effect on immune system
strength, cell volumization, and protein synthesis.
More taurine (500mg)—Early research on the amino acid taurine showed that it
possesses insulin-mimicking characteristics that may be valuable for nutrient
transport. Current investigation of taurine demonstrates its involvement in the
control of muscular contraction. Significant losses in taurine may decrease
muscle contractility, and consequently, exercise performance. By offsetting
taurine loss, the benefits of high intensity exercise including strength and
lean mass gains may be increased.
Vitamins C and E—Whether you lift weights or run, the body produces free
radicals. The body's internal antioxidant defense systems can handle the
challenge of dealing with free radicals at low levels of exercise intensity,
however elevated intensity levels may require supplemental defense. The addition
of vitamins C and E may support the overall recovery process, as they provide
immune system support and antioxidant protection from free radicals. These
powerful antioxidant vitamins may help hard-training athletes avoid the negative
consequences of overtraining. Research on the effects of vitamin C on exercise
performance indicates that ascorbic acid may prevent the formation of
exercise-induced free radicals. In a study investigating the effects of vitamin
E on recreationally weight trained subjects, it was determined that a decrease
in muscle membrane disruption and oxidative stress was evident. What may be even
more interesting about the supplementation of these two vitamins is that vitamin
C is thought to regenerate vitamin E7, making it advantageous to use both in
conjunction to ensure optimal availability in offsetting free-radical damage.
This antioxidant combination in BetaGen HP may help individuals recover faster
from intense workouts by diminishing the harmful effects of free radical
production.
B-vitamin complex—The B-vitamin complex serves a wide variety of functions in
the body, including growth and repair of body tissues, healthy cell development,
nervous system function, and metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. In
particular, vitamins B6, B12, and Folic acid are important for the synthesis of
hormones and red blood cell production. Paying major attention to vitamin and
mineral intake, specifically B vitamins, zinc and chromium, is required to
optimize carbohydrate metabolism, the ultimate limiting factor for sport
performance. Ensuring that sufficient levels of the B-complex are available in
the body may optimize the function of the nervous system and metabolically
active tissues (muscle) to achieve maximal athletic performance.
