What Is GAKIC?

A lot of athletes are always looking for a way to get a competitive advantage. They want to lift heavier weights, increase their power output and break personal bests. This often leads them down the road of supplementation. By far one of the most popular supplements of choice to build muscle and gain strength has been creatine. But now there is a new product on the market that is starting to gain momentum for its benefits to the body, and it is called GAKIC.

  1. Features

    • GAKIC is a product made by Muscletech and it was originally started at the University of Florida after eight years of research. The actual word "GAKIC" stands for glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid calcium which is a key ingredient in the formulation. This formulation of nutrients delivers fast absorption to the muscles which increases muscle strength and muscle endurance enabling you to lift more weight for a longer duration.

    Failure

    • When you are working out, you generally lift a given amount of weight for a given amount of time until your body does something called "failing." When this happens, you cannot push the weight any more and you are basically out of gas. This is often caused from a build-up of a substance called ammonia in the body which is a fatigue toxin. Supplementing with GAKIC will take this fatigue toxin out of the equation which ultimately translates into more muscle being gained.

    Free

    • There is a lot of talk in sports these days about banned substances. Steroids and any type of hormonal supplements are not allowed and news about banned substances is often in the media. That being said, there is an organization called the National Science Foundation that polices substances used in the NFL, MLB and various bodybuilding associations. GAKIC has been tested and certified by them.

    Identification

    • A lot of supplements make claims about their effectiveness and how much of a difference their product can make in your workouts. But often, there is no research to back this up. GAKIC on the other hand has a handful of actual studies that were done by Dr. Bruce R. Stevens that prove its efficacy (see References for studies).

    Usage

    • GAKIC comes in capsule form and it is sold in bottles that have 128 capsules in them. A serving is eight capsules and these are to be taken somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes before your workout. GAKIC is only to be used on the days of your workouts, not on your off days. If you work out four times a week, then a single bottle will last you a month. It is also recommended to drink 80 oz. of water daily when you use GAKIC.
