The key ingredient, and the only ingredient
we are interested in here, is Gakic - glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic
acid. Read on below to find out what's so special about
Gakic.
Muscle Tech Gakic Research & Study
There have been various research studies
conducted on Gakic (glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic
acid), and fortunately, using human subjects! That's a nice
change from all the products claiming all types of benefits
found through clinical trials using.... drumroll... rats!
Below, I will briefly explain two studies
conducted on Gakic using human subjects, and the results
achieved.
Gakic
Study 1 - Buford, Britni N.; Koch, Alexander J.
This study was done to determine Glycine-Arginine-[alpha]-Ketoisocaproic
Acid (Gakic) effects on improving performance of repeated
cycling sprints. 10 men completed a randomized, double-blind
exercise protocol of 2 sessions. Subjects consumed either
11.2g of Gakic, or placebo 45 minutes prior to exercise.
Plasma lactate was analyzed in blood collected 45 minutes
before exercising, and then 5 minutes after exercise. Mean
power, peak power, and fatigue values were determined from
5 supramaximal, 10s cycle ergometer sprints, each separated
by 1 minute rest intervals.
The study found a significant change in
mean power output over the 5 sprints between the Gakic and
control groups. They found that the Gakic group had a greater
retention of mean power compared to the control group, leading
to the conclusion that Gakic helped reduce the decline in
mean power during repeated bouts of supramaximal exercise.
Gakic
Study 2 - Stevens BR, Godfrey MD, Kaminski TW, Braith
RW.
In another study done at the College of
Medicine in University of Florida, researchers determined
the effects of Gakic on human muscle dynamic performance
(strength, work, and fatigue), measured under conditions
of acute, exhaustive high intensity exercises.
The study involved 13 subjects, and measured
pre-fatigue and post-fatigue peak torque and work values
in the quadriceps using a computer controlled iso kinetic
dynamometer. The randomized, double blind study used a Gakic
treatment, and a placebo. Measurements were taken before
and during an exhaustive anaerobic fatigue protocol to calculate
a Fatigue Resistance Index (FRI), and also the total work.
They found the Fatigue Resistance Index
(FRI) and total work for each of the exhaustion sets measured
at 0, 5 and 15 minutes after oral Gakic treatment were greater
than values obtained from the control group. The key findings
were:
- The Gakic treatment group increase
the mean FRI value by up to 28% over the control group.
- Overall gain in total muscle work of
the Gakic group was 10.5% greater than the control group,
sustained for at least 15 minutes.
- After 24hours, both Gakic and control
groups' concentric forces returned to same absolute values.
These findings lead to the conclusion
that oral Gakic treatment increased muscle torque and work
sustained during intense acute anaerobic dynamic exercise,
and it also increased overall muscle performance by delaying
muscle fatigue.
What can Gakic Weight Lifting Supplement
do for the Average Joe?
Looking at the two studies outlined above,
what does this mean for the average user? The research done
certainly are very promising, and you can expect Gakic to
help you increase workload output, and reduce the decline
in power output during workouts, thus prolonging your ability
to train and push beyond your normal limits.
What's even more appealing, is that these
studies were conducted using human subjects. I would like
to highlight a few key points:
- They trials were done using human subjects
(I know I mentioned this many times, but this is important)
- The amount of Gakic supplemented in
the study was 11.2 grams taken 45 minutes pre workout.
This closely mimics the recommended dose and use of Gakic
by Muscletech, which is 10.2 grams of Gakic taken 45 minutes
pre workout.
What's the significance you ask? Considering
that human subjects were used, and that the test parameters
closely resemble real life conditions, you can expect that
the results achieved during the trials can be very closely
matched to real life performance expectations.

Gakic Side Effects, Buy Gakic Caps &
Powder
Neither of the studies performed on Gakic
mentioned any side effects of using Gakic, and I was unable
to find any documented side effects. If you've used Gakic,
you can share your experience with it on our user
reviews section here.
You can buy Gakic in two forms, either
in a caps or in a powder form. There's really no difference
between the two, it just really depends on your personal
preference - whether you prefer pills, or prefer powder.
Both cost the same, and contain the same amount of servings.
