Who is MASS PAK for?

MASS PAK was created for people practicing various sports disciplines, especially strength, endurance and endurance training (i.e. intense and exhausting). Remember that the use of carbohydrate-protein supplements depends on the type and intensity of training, as well as on the level of advancement. And why do we use these types of products at all?

We use carbohydrate-protein products when a balanced diet with proper training is not enough to achieve the intended goals.

If you do not see progress in building your muscle mass, if you are an ectomorphic person (i.e. you find it difficult to gain weight) or simply if you need more carbohydrates as energy fuel - supplements that are a combination of carbohydrates and protein are a great choice. MASS PAK has been additionally enriched with creatine, taurine and L-glycine.

Energy and glycogen

The availability of energy during exercise modulates the physiological response to training. Currently, glycogen is considered not only as an energy substrate, but also as a regulator of signaling pathways regulating adaptations in response to exercise. It has been observed that the anabolic response after resistance training depends on the state of glycogen stores.

What is glycogen really?

Carbohydrates are stored as liver and muscle glycogen. Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose in which cells store and use glucose to meet their energy needs. Muscle glycogen is the primary source of energy during sustained, medium-to-high-intensity exercise. The development of fatigue during strenuous exercise is often associated with low muscle glycogen concentrations. Muscle glycogen levels are usually restored to pre-workout levels within 24 hours if sufficient carbohydrates are provided. Therefore, nutritional recommendations for endurance athletes suggest a high availability of carbohydrates for post-exercise recovery to replenish glycogen stores.

Protein as a nutrient is also important

Protein contributes to the growth of muscle mass and helps maintain it, and supports the maintenance of healthy bones. Knowing the role and importance of proteins and carbohydrates, we can certainly say that combining them in one product makes sense. In addition, current research suggests that a distinct advantage in post-exercise muscle glycogen storage can be achieved by adding protein to a carbohydrate supplement.

Creatine - what do you know about it

Creatine belongs to the group of amino acids and is found mainly in muscle tissue (approx. 95%). It is available in the form of phosphocreatine and free creatine, the sum of which for an average-sized man is about 120 g. The energy supplied during and after intense exercise depends largely on the amount of phosphocreatine stored in the muscle. As phosphocreatine stores are depleted during intense exercise, energy availability decreases due to the inability to resynthesis ATP at the rate required to sustain high-intensity exercise. As a result, the ability to maintain maximum effort decreases. The availability of phosphocreatine in the muscle can significantly affect the amount of energy produced during short periods of high-intensity exercise.

Interesting information

A scientific publication published in 2007 in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition reviewed research on creatine. According to the data provided in the article, several hundred scientific studies have been conducted to evaluate creatine monohydrate supplementation in improving exercise performance. Nearly 70% of these studies reported a significant improvement in exercise capacity with creatine supplementation, with average increases in performance typically ranging from 10 to 15%. It was also indicated that almost all studies show that supplementation with creatine monohydrate increases body weight by about 1-2 kg in the first week of loading. The authors report that this may be the result of an improved ability to perform high-intensity exercise through increased phosphocreatine availability and improved ATP synthesis, thereby enabling athletes to train harder and promote greater muscle growth.
