This is my first spnsred lg, s if anyne has any questins fr me r suggestins t make this lg better please pm me. BUT LETS GET TO THE FUN PART!

1 OHlympia: becming the PRODIGY A Special Thanks t Cary K fr giving me the pprtunity t d this! Prdigy defined by Webster is a nun described as a persn f unusual talent r marvelus talents, r anything that is a cause f wnder and amazement SO PREPARE t be amazed. This is my first spnsred lg, s if anyne has any questins fr me r suggestins t make this lg better please pm me. BUT LETS GET TO THE FUN PART!!! Premium Nutraceuticals (PNI) has taken things t a new level prmising 3 KEY BENEFITS: Muscle pumps s harsh that yur skin may tear! Intensity s frightening that ther gym members may fear yu! Need t nt just lift the weights, but destry them! Hwever, I m nt ging t write everything that yu guys can read in the descriptin n nutraplanet.cm r any ther stre that carries Prdigy. Let s get right t the gd stuff, I m ging t start by shwing the ingredients then breaking dwn each ne and its benefits and talk a little abut the prduct itself. After which, I will then g ver my current diet and training regimen as I will s be ging int pre-cntest mde. Remember, this lg is based n my experience, my knwledge, and the effects n my bdy. Always keep in mind everyne s bdy is different and may prduce a different reactin. Als, I AM NOT a medical prfessinal s anything advice given during this lg is just my pinin. Hwever I d have a Bachelrs f Science in Pharmaceutical Science majring in Pharmaclgy and Txiclgy in Cllege s I d have quite an extensive knwledge n bichemistry, pharmaclgy, and medicinal chemistry. I have als been a persnal trainer fr 5 years, but mre abut myself later. Again, EVERYTHING in this lg is my

2 pinin, s please cnsult yur physician befre taking any type f dietary r nutritinal supplement. First glance at Prdigy it lks like a pre-wrkut fr sure and fr the price yu can t beat it!! the questin is, withut being a chemist r having a decent knwledge n chemistry and rganic chemistry yu wuldn t knw ff hand what the ingredients are. (I knw that sme f yu frum junkies ut there knw what they are) S fr all f yu that dn t knw, let s break them dwn. Belw is the nutritin label fr Prdigy: Prdigy Supplement Facts Serving Size: Scp (12.5 grams) Servings per Cntainer: 30 Amunt Per Serving % Daily Value Nitric Oxide & Carnsine Fusin: 3-Aminprpinic Acid, L-Citrulline-D,L-Malate, 2-Amin-5-Guanidinvaleric Acid Muscle Cell Vlumizing Matrix: Di-Creatine Malate, L-Taurine, Ascrbic Acid, Creatinl-O-Phsphate, Agmatine Sulfate 6,500 mg ** 4,500 mg ** Energy & Fcus Blend: D-Glucurn-3,6-Lactne, 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine, 3,7-Dimethylxanthine, Orchilean 1,870 mg ** (Cymbidium Geringii Extract), Naringin * Percent Daily Values are based n a 2000 calrie diet. ** Percent Daily Values nt established. OTHER INGREDIENTS: Malic Acid, Natural & Artificial Flavrs, Acesulfame-K, Silicn Dixide, Red #40. First up is the Nitric Oxide & Carnsine Fusin : 3-Aminprpinic Acid r mre cmmnly knwn as β-alanine. β-alanine is a naturally ccurring amin acid and in shrt helps minimize build-up f catablic ins such as lactic acid. β-alanine is the rate-limiting precursr f carnsine and is metablized int acetic acid. β-alanine causes an effect called Paresthesia when a dse f 10mg/kg f bdyweight is used. Paresthesia is the tickling, tingling, burning, pricking, r numbness f a persn's skin with n apparent lng-term physical effect. β-alanine cncentratins are shwn t peak within 30 t 45 minutes f ingestin and them begin being eliminated after 90 t 120 minutes. β-alanine has been clinically shwn t increase skeletal muscle carnsine cncentratins which is where the endurance factr cmes int play. Carnsine has shwn many antixidant prperties n Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).

3 Carnsine helps stabilize muscular ph by saking up hydrgen ins (H+) that are released at an accelerated rate during exercise. (A decrease in muscular ph is directly related t muscular perfrmance) Researchers have shwn that when supplementing with beta-alanine fr just 4 weeks, we can increase ur carnsine cncentratin by 42-65%. Lnger beta-alanine studies ging up t weeks, shw carnsine cncentratins increased up t 80%. This is a tremendus increase in an already pwerful intracellular buffer. It is this large increase in buffering capacity within ur muscles that is largely respnsible fr the strength, lean bdy mass, pwer and muscular endurance gains that researchers are seeing frm beta-alanine studies. L-Citrulline-D,L-Malate Citrulline Malate has a KEY rle in the urea cycle (remval f ammnia) Citrulline Malate is made during the urea cycle frm rnithine and carbamyl phsphate. It is als prduced frm arginine as a by-prduct frm nitric xide synthase. Arginine is first xidized int N-hydrxyl-arginine, which is then further xidized t citrulline cncmitant with release f nitric xide. Citrulline Malate aids in the vasdilatin effect and aids in prductin f arginine the immediate precursr f nitric xide Citrulline Malate has been shwn in clinical studies t reduce lactic acid and ammnia build up during exercise. 2-Amin-5-Guanidinvaleric Acid r mre cmmnly knwn Arginine We all knw the benefits f arginine; being the immediate precursr t nitric xide. Therefre I am nt ging t spend t much time n it, if yu have questins ASK. Nitric Oxide dilates ur bld vessels t prmte bld flw and increase bld vlume in skeletal muscle. Arginine has als been shwn t reduce healing time f injuries. Secnd is the Muscle Cell Vlumizing Matrix : Di-Creatine Malate Di-Creatine malate is a highly sluble salt that is frmed frm the cmbinatin f creatine and malic acid. Malic Acid is highly invlved in prviding energy n a cellular level (Kreb s Cycle) therefr aids in endurance and stamina during strenuus exercise. Di-Creatine Malate helps play a rle in the prductin f ATP, nt nly helping with endurance but als as a lactic acid buffer. Reduced water retentin when cmpared t a Creatine Mnhydrate. As mst creatines, Di-Creatine Malate imprves muscular strength and size and helps decrease muscle recvery time. L-Taurine Taurine is essential fr cardivascular and skeletal muscle functin. Taurine is used in many bilgical prcesses imprtant t a bdybuilder r athlete including; cell hydratin, prtein synthesis, and metablism.

Inhibits Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS), specifically inos and nnos, leading t increased muscle pump Stimulates the release f insulin and uptake f calcium in pancreatic cells leading t imprved insulin

4 Taurine is ften cupled with Creatine t enhance muscular functin because f Taurines effect n cellular hydratin. Agmatine Sulfate Agmatine is the metablic byprduct f arginine thrugh a prcess called decarbxylatin. Inhibits Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS), specifically inos and nnos, leading t increased muscle pump Stimulates the release f insulin and uptake f calcium in pancreatic cells leading t imprved insulin sensitivity. Binds t Imidazline Receptrs prviding analgesia and assisting in pain management. Inhibits mnamine xidase (MAO) leading t antidepressant effects. Antagnist f the N- Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptr prviding a ptential neurprtective rle. Simulates the release f catechleamines (nrepinephrine, epinephrine, and dpamine) assisting in stress management. Increases release f GnRH frm the hypthalamus, stimulating secretin f LH/FSH which culd increase teststerne prductin in the testes. Creatinl-O-Phsphate Creatinl-O-Phsphate althugh clse in name is nt creatine. Supprts increases in strength Acts as an intracellular buffer t help clear lactic acid which can limit perfrmance during training. Prmtes imprved perfrmance by increasing anaerbic glyclysis. Supprts recvery. Ascrbic Acid Ascrbic Acid is a frm f Vitamin C We all knw mst f the benefits f Vitamin C hwever I will list a few just in case yu frgt. Imprves Immune system and is an antixidant. Suppresses Crtisl, which aids in muscle grwth and prevents unwanted bdy fat. Als has been shw t increase Nitric Oxide Synthesis. D-Glucurn-3,6-Lactne r Glucurnlactne glucurnlactne can be used as a precursr fr ascrbic acid synthesis Regulates the frmatin f glycgen. Increase energy levels and alertness. Glucurnlactne is a cmmn ingredient in many energy drinks. 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine therwise knwn as Caffeine Stimulant as we all knw, cmmn ingredient in mst pre-wrkuts ut there. I think that this ne pretty much speaks fr itself. 3,7-Dimethylxanthine r Thebrmine Thebrmine has a similar structure as caffeine and has similar prperties but t a lesser extent. Thebrmine has shwn vasdilatin prperties, diuretic, and stimulant prperties. Orchilean Trademark ingredient, nt much infrmatin fund n its chemical structure, uses, r even what it is.
