Whey protein is the undisputed king of muscle building. The fact that it has the highest bioavailability of all supplementary proteins makes it the professional’s first choice in supplements.

While other slow acting proteins such as caseins are regarded to be more efficient as anti – catabolic agents, they cannot boast the anabolic properties of a steady supply of whey protein. After all, who is trying to build muscle slowly? Supplement your protein requirements with a whey protein supplement in between every meal, which with your dietary protein will give you a full array of amino acids, a constant positive nitrogen balance and create the ideal environment for recovering from physical exercise and for maximum physical development.

Garnell’s High performance whey has a unique blend of Whey Protein isolate and Whey Protein Concentrate, contains a high level of BCAA’s and added L-glutamine to make it more in keeping with human muscle tissue.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and more than 20% of total circulating amino acids. This conditionally essential amino acid is extremely important in overall health, athletics and in building and maintaining muscle. During conditions of calorie restriction or dieting glutamine and BCAA's act to stave off catabolic hormones and prevent muscle wasting. The majority of nitrogen lost from calorie restriction and dieting occurs when levels of glutamine in the body released from muscle tissue and metabolised for energy. Therefore, glutamine supplementation can be used to reverse this condition by promoting nitrogen retention and acting as a buffer, preventing muscle loss and immune system down regulation. Supplementation of this amino acid can also markedly improve testosterone to cortisol ratios and potentially increase muscle mass. Additionally, glutamine can also increase anabolism by increasing muscle cell volume.

Just four grams of glutamine has been shown in research studies to increase growth hormone levels by over 400% and also repair and maintain the integrity of the intestines and even have a 92% cure rate of ulcers within four weeks of use.

Garnell Nutrition was amongst the first supplement companies to promote the benefits of Glutamine which is today becoming as popular as Creatine.

Enrage is a cutting edge and revolutionary pre-workout or pre-event supplement; designed specifically to give you that mental and physical focus that we sometimes lack.

Enrage is scientifically formulated to deliver a ‘sustained energy rush’, to provide nutrients vital for energy production and to assist in the recovery from the resultant stress caused to the affected skeletal muscle and central nervous system after extensive physical exertion.

Enrage should benefit anyone who wishes to enhance their physical performance or general energy levels from: Bodybuilders and Power lifters,
To Dancers, Fighters, Athletes and recreational trainers who wish to improve their level of fitness or endurance.

Enrage has been developed in association with Dr Annette Hudson, BSc (Hons) MSc, PhD. (A leading figure in the field of sports nutrition and principle of Garnell Nutrition’s R&D team).

The exclusive formula provides a combination of carbohydrate sources consisting of Maltodextrin to provide sustained energy release over the workout period, dextrose to provide short term energy source as well as to enhance Creatine loading (uptake) and also minimalising creatinine conversion in the bowel. Fructose is also provided in order to maintain liver glycogen.
Other key ingredients include, Guarana, Caffeine, amino acids, Tyrosine, Taurine and importantly 3g of Creatine, along with an array of nutrients vital to energy production including Vitamins B6, B12.

Enrage also incorporates magnesium sulphate and di potassium phosphate to aid in the absorption of the key nutrients and maintain positive cellular hydration.

The trouble with Enrage is once you’ve used it; you’d never want to be without it!

Creatine is the most widely used performance enhancing nutrient used by athletes today.

The extensive studies on Creatine make its credibility irrefutable. Its ability to modulate energy metabolism, hydrate muscles and increase protein synthesis are just a few of the benefits that Creatine has to offer.

When used in combination with Garnell’s complex carbs Creatine can be drawn into the muscles at a much higher concentration than normal. The high glycemic index of the complex carbs coupled with its high molecular density give it all the benefits of glucose without the intestinal discomfort and bloating associated with sugars, the resultant insulin spiking optimises Creatine uptake.

Aspire 40 Protein bars are a convenient way to snack healthily and consume your daily nutrient requirements whilst on the move. Aspire 40 protein bars are regarded as the best tasting bars on the market!

Both Whey Protein Concentrate and Milk Protein Isolate are combined to produce the Aspire 40 nutrition bar. This is a great product for individuals that are lactose intolerant, Aspire 40 is virtually lactose free.

Aspire 40 provides the user with a quick burst of amino acids
(whey) as well as a longer lasting, slow digesting protein
(Milk isolate). Users will find this product possesses a great
Combination of anabolic and anticatabolic properties.

There is no reason to believe that one high-quality protein will show any benefit over another high-quality protein as they all contain indispensable AAs in excess of what is required, our unique ratio of the highly bioavailable Whey protein concentrate and the slow releasing milk protein isolate, delivers an excellent amino acid profile with sustained release that may retain a positive nitrogen balance for up to six hours to ensure that you look, feel and perform your best all the time!

Age group	Protein requirement (g/kg)
Infant	1.8
Preschool child	1.2
School child	1.0
Adult male	0.6
Adult female	0.6
Strength athletes	1.6-1.8
Endurance athletes	1.2-1.4

The average adult human or animal does not grow appreciably and bodily tissues are more or less set in place. This means that most of the incoming protein is being used for maintenance of current tissue, not for the synthesis of new tissues. Even in children, who are growing fairly rapidly, the growth component of total protein requirements is 15% or less with the remainder of protein requirements being used for maintenance.
Table 1 compares protein requirements in a variety of age groups based on current FAO/WHO recommendations. It should be noted that the recommendations for amino acids have been criticized and recent research shows that the adult values for protein requirements may be as much as three times greater than predicted. Finally, protein requirements which have been suggested for athletes are presented for comparison purposes.
Each Aspire 40 bar contains a mere 1.6g of impact carbs (based on strawberry flavour) and therefore has minimal impact on insulin levels making it suitable for a low carbohydrate diet.
