Gakic

GAKIC is the biggest bodybuilding breakthrough ever! 

New to bodybuilders, athletes, and sports enthusiasts, GAKIC, also known as glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid has been in development for 8 years. 

That's 8 years of research including, testing, clinical studies, and refinement. Why 8 years? Well, we all know that greatness takes time. A great mind takes years to develop, a great physique takes years to build, and a great supplement should be no different.

1. What is GAKIC™?

GAKIC (chemically known as glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid) is an advanced technological breakthrough that can help athletes immediately increase strength by 10.5%, and increase fatigue resistance by 28%.

GAKIC has been engineered to work quickly at the muscle fiber level, without the need for stimulants. GAKIC is truly revolutionary, as no one else in the industry has even come close to producing a supplement like it. So much time and effort went into the product that it took over eight years to research!

2. What's in GAKIC?

GAKIC is chemically known as glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid.

Glycine is a nonessential amino acid, meaning your body's cells can synthesize sufficient amounts of it to meet physiological requirements. Studies show that production of growth hormone (one of the most important musclebuilding hormones) increases in a dose-dependent manner with glycine supplementation. 

Another thing about glycine is that when it's combined with arginine (as it is in GAKIC), it has the potential to increase endogenous creatine levels.

Arginine plays an important role in many bodily functions including the removal of ammonia from the body, immune function, and the release of hormones. The body also uses it to produce nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels.

Lastly, alpha-ketoisocaproate represents the “KIC” in GAKIC. KIC is a branched-chain keto acid (BCKA) that has anti-catabolic effects meaning it can help prevent muscle loss. 

BCKAs also aid in a muscle's energy production while helping to remove ammonia. Buildups of ammonia are common during intense training sessions, and have been known to play a part in fatigue.

3. How does GAKIC work?

When training, metabolic fatigue sets in due to the build-up of various metabolic by-products which negatively affects exercise performance and inhibits some aspects of the muscle's contractile machinery. 

GAKIC helps your body deal with this metabolic fatigue and thus delays this moment of failure - helping you get 1, 2, or even 3 more reps in. 

That's what GAKIC can do for you. And that's why it's so revolutionary. Once you train with GAKIC, you'll never want to train without it.

4. Will I feel anything after taking GAKIC? If so, how soon after?

That's where GAKIC is different from anything else you've ever tried before. Studies show that subjects using GAKIC experienced an immediate 10.5 percent increase in strength after taking it. 

Not days or weeks later, but right after the very first dose! Just imagine if GAKIC could do the same for you. Imagine stepping in the gym with more strength than you've ever had before. Imagine heading into your set ready to make your previous best look like a warm-up. 

The science shows GAKIC can do this. And it shows that instead of “hitting the wall” when you normally would, GAKIC can help you lift longer than before. In the same above-mentioned study, GAKIC supplementation was shown to significantly increase fatigue resistance by up to an average of 28 percent when compared with the placebo. 

You do the math. More strength plus less fatigue equals better gains.

5. Can you tell me more about the studies on GAKIC?

The research detailed below explains the efficacy of GAKIC for its ability to increase muscle performance within minutes after recommended intake.

In a double-blind, randomized, crossover-designed study conducted at the University of Florida by Stevens et al. (2000), participants ingested either GAKIC (glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid calcium) or a placebo (9.46 g sucrose) prior to exercise. 

After supplementation, subjects performed consecutive right knee concentric and eccentric contractions.

Measurements were taken during the last 5 reps of each set. Sets were performed at 0 minutes, 5 minutes, and at 15 minutes. Significant changes in time taken to fatigue of up to an average of 28 percent were recorded when compared to the placebo (see table 1). 

Treatment with GAKIC also increased the mean total work per set by an overall 10.5 percent over the 15-minute period (see fig. 1 and table 1). Based on this study, the researchers concluded that GAKIC treatment increases the ability to sustain muscle force, delays fatigue, and increases total muscle work.

The Average Strength Increase: 10.5%

Subjects using GAKIC experienced a 12% increase in strength on the first set, a 9% increase in strength on the second set, and then an 11% increase in strength on the third set.

In another double-blind, randomized, crossover-designed study conducted by Buford et al. (2004), subjects were given GAKIC or a placebo before exercise and measured during repeated bouts of anaerobic cycling performance. 

Subjects performed a series of five 10-second sprints against resistance. Results indicated GAKIC treatment significantly decreased the drop in mean power between the first and second sprints, resulting in a longer time taken to fatigue. 

The researchers concluded the findings obtained from this study supported the work of Stevens et al. (2000) at the University of Florida.

6. Does GAKIC contain creatine?

No. GAKIC is not a creatine supplement. Creatine increases the regeneration of a primary muscle fuel source called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). GAKIC works at the muscle fiber level via different metabolic mechanism than creatine. One of GAKIC's jobs is to remove fatigue toxins – toxins that prevent your muscles from making more ATP.

The fact is, GAKIC is in a league of its own – a whole new category that bodybuilders and other athletes have yet to take advantage of until now.

7. How do you take GAKIC?

For GAKIC Powder
As a dietary supplement, take 1 serving (1 scoop) up to 45 minutes before a high-intensity workout. Do not exceed 1 serving (1 scoop) in a 24-hour period. Mix in a shaker cup with 8 oz. of water. Serve immediately. One bottle contains 544 grams.

For GAKIC Caplets
As a dietary supplement, take 1 serving (8 caplets) up to 45 minutes before a high-intensity workout. Do not exceed 1 serving (8 caplets) in a 24-hour period. One bottle contains 128 capsules.

8. Should I take GAKIC on days when I don't work out?

Due to the potent nature of this product, which works immediately, GAKIC should only be used on days that you work out and at no other time.

Jay Cutler - 3-time Arnold Classic Champion

“After using GAKIC, I noticed that this year, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. I’ve been able to push myself to the limit. All my movements have switched to free weights. I don’t use the machines at all anymore. My movements are all compound.”

“I’ve never trained this hard before. After using GAKIC, I’ve been able to perform at my best. I’m in the gym four times a day; I do two cardio sessions and two weight-training sessions daily. I’m 282 pounds, and I've gained an extra 5 pounds of sheer muscle this year.”
