Major ingredients in Yok3d

Arginine Nitrate

Arginine Nitrate is an arginine molecule compound that has bonded with a NO3 molecule (a nitrate). The reason for adding Arginine Nitrate (1 nitrogen and 3 oxygen atoms) over other forms of Arginine (L-Arginine, Acetyl-L-Arginine) into Yok3d is apparent when seeing the increase in water solubility. This allows the Arginine in Yok3d to absorb into the bloodstream and muscles at much faster and efficient rate.

Arginine is a semi essential amino acid which is responsible for a wide array of physiological and chemical functions. It is also a precursor for many hormones and compounds which develop in the human body.

Arginine has the following potentially beneficial properties

• Protein synthesis which promotes muscle building.
• Increase growth hormone secretion which allows building lean muscle.
• Arginine also is essential for creatine production which has numerous benefits of importance are increases of ATP which bolster strength and energy.
• Reduces healing time of injuries (in particular bone, soft tissue and muscle damage)
• Reduces blood pressure in the human body.
• Promotes increased circulation to the limbs, fingers and toes by dilating (expanding) the blood vessels.

Introducing nitrates in your body produces a higher tolerance for physically exhaustive exercise whilst reducing the amount of oxygen (O2) used in low intensity tolerance. It’s inclusion in Yok3d could allow you to workout in a high intensity situation for a longer period of time.

Vitis Vinifera L. (Powergrape)

Vitis Vinifera is the scientific name for the Common Grape Vine which is native to the Mediterranean region, central Europe and southwestern Asia. It would appear that Yok3d use a grapeseed extract called Powergrape which is a registered trademark by Naturex.

It is an antioxidant that helps boost recovery time and protects against antioxidant stress – which restores your body’s tone and vitality in a quick fashion.

The way it works, is that your body requires Fuel (Glucose) and an Oxidizer (Oxygen) breaks down the fuel that your body uses. This gets transformed into physical output (Work) and energy (heat). During the breakdown, this places oxidative stress on the human body which can damage your cells. Powergrape reduces the damage so your body functions at its peak.

Trichopus Zeylanicus (whole plant) Extract

Trichopus Zeylanicus is an herb that combats fatigue in the human body. It originates around Asia, specifically in Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Southern India and Thailand. In 1987 it was discovered after observing the local Kaani tribe who would walk around for hours whilst remaining alert and energetic.

Trichopus Zeylanicus contains adaptogenic and immuno-enhancing properties which no doubt work in synergy with the Powergrape extract to protect your body from Oxidative harm.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Ever since Vitamin C was discovered, the beneficial properties have proposed to promote overall wellbeing to even curing cancers. Although some of the claims may be outlandish, there is no doubting that Vitamin C can aid some of the bodies’ natural mechanisms.

Vitamin C or otherwise known as Ascorbic Acid works primarily as an anti-oxidant which limits the damage that oxidative stress causes on the human body. It also works in collagen synthesis which is why it has been used to treat scurvy. It is believed that these properties are the reason for inclusion in Yok3d.

Minor ingredients in Yok3d

• Gelatin

Sorry folks nothing to see here. The gelatin is found in a trace amount which isn’t include for supplementation. It is just suspected in a heavily biased whitepaper study.

• Calcium Carbonate

Calcium Carbonate is a hardy, commonly found substance located all around the world. It is found in rocks (lol). It is mainly used as an ingredient in industrial purposes but also used for calcium supplementation. I would however imagine that it’s inclusion in Yok3d is either for texture, color or an additive in the Vitamin C.
