Overview Of San V12 Turbo

By: Russell Davies V12 Turbo is manufactured by US sports supplement company SAN Nutrition. SAN Nutrition was formed in 1996. SAN V12 Turbo is a very popular cell volumising, multi ingredient muscle building compound. Used for muscle building, increasing strength and improving muscle recovery times between workouts. The Supplement contains 5 proven ingredients backed by scientific research.

SAN V12 Tubro contains 4 grams of Tri Creatine Malate, which is made from 3 creatine molecules attached to 1 molecule of malic acid. Tri Creatine malate is more water soluble than standard creatine monohydrate. It may therefore offer greater bioavailability than regular creatine. Creatine is useful to the bodybuilder as it it increases the short bursts of power needed to lift weights. It assists with muscle building as it aids recovery between sets by replenishing ATP stores (muscle energy) quicker.

The second active ingredient in SAN V12 Turbo is 2 grams of Betaine-Glycocyamine, This ingredient is a blend of betaine anhydrous and glycocyamine. Betaine Anhydrous is a vitamin derived from choline. Betaine is essential for the maintenance of intestinal function and cell production. It may also promote lean mass and increase appetite. Glycocyamine is a precursor to creatine, essentially Glycocyamine converts to creatine in the body, the benefit of this is glycocyamine has a high oral bioavailability and is efficiently converted into creatine. This would then offer the same benefits of creatine but benefit "non responders" of traditional creatine. Taking Glycocyamine with Betaine is considered to be safer than taking Glycocyamine alone.

SAN V12 also contains 2 grams of Micronised Taurine, Taurine is an organic acid and a potent antioxidant found in tissues of animals and in plants. Taurine can expand your muscle cells by helping the cell hold water, this is positive for the bodybuilder as the muscles will look fuller and increased hydration can aid protein synthesis. The fact the taurine is micronised means that the actual taurine particles are smaller, meaning a greater surface area, as such the body will absorb the taurine faster, more efficently and the taurine will mixes more easily in water.

The fourth active ingredient is 1.5 grams of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate. This ingredient is formed by combining 2 arginine (an amino acid) molecules with 1 molecule of Alpha-Ketoglutarate. Arginine is important in cell division, wound healing, removing ammonia from the body, immune function and the release of hormones. Arginine is the immediate pre cursor of Nitric Oxide and is necessary for the synthesis of creatine. As a precursor of Nitric Oxide it is used to increase blood flow to the muscle. Arginine also increases the production of growth hormone. Alpha-Ketoglutarate is an important biological compound , one of its functions is to combine with ammonia to form glutamine, useful for muscle recovery.

The Final Active ingredient in SAN V12 Turbo is NAG (N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine) which is an acetylated version of glutamine, NAG is more stable in water than normal glutamine and therefore may offer better absorption. Glutamine plays a role muscle cell volume, glycogen storage, growth hormone and supports the body's immune system.

SAN V12 is a useful supplement, and is generally well tolerated but based on the ingredients users should be aware of the potential side effects. These are (please note there may be others not listed) Diarrhea, Stomach Upset, nausea, bloating, headaches, water retention, body odour.
