Reformulated because supposedly it wasn't Ethyl Ester and were getting sued, it was Mono all along.
Here is what they state about AVPT:
Muscle Volumizing Creatine
Matrix (Patent Pending): AVPT (Advanced Volumizing and Performance Technology): A proprietary blend of four advanced creatine analogs and
Beta Alanine designed to increase creatine transport, uptake and effectiveness, leading to accelerated muscle recovery and hydrogen ion buffering. AVPT contains: Sodium Creatine Phosphate Matrix: a sodium salt of creatine phosphate, which enhances water solubility. Once inside the bloodstream, a sodium chloride dependant transporter is responsible for carrying the creatine to the muscles cells. So by combining creatine with sodium, the uptake and absorption of creatine is greatly enhanced. Creatine Ethyl Ester-Beta-Alanine Dual Action Composite (CarnoSyn?):BSN?s newest proprietary blend, designed to increase the water and lipid solubility of creatine. Not only has BSN increased water and lipophilicity, hydrogen ion buffering has also been addressed with the addition of Beta-Alanine. Beta-Alanine supplementation increases the production of carnosine, a dipeptide known to help buffer lactic acid accumulation and neutralize hydrogen ions. Thus, by combining a fat and water soluble creatine with Beta-Alanine , it enables the creatine to function beyond its normal rate limiting system, leading to superior absorption and effectiveness. Creatinol-O-Phosphate-Malic Acid Interfusion :A creatine analog known for its role in supporting cardiovascular function, increasing oxygen availability, endurance, work capacity and time to exhaustion. ATP is our body?s energy, the energy to have a muscular contraction and the energy to repair muscle tissue. Creatine helps to carry phosphates, which it donates to ADP to make more ATP, thus more energy. This process if further enhanced by Malic Acid, a Krebs Cycle intermidate involved in the production of ATP. This interfusion functions synergystically with creatine to create more available ATP for explosive energy. Creatine AAB? (Creatine Alpha-Amino-N-Butyrate):The final creatine analog in AVPT. As with the previous analogs, absorption and effectiveness are greatly increased, increasing ATP production and thus anabolic effects. Unlike the other creatine analogs of the matrix, Creatine Alpha-Amino-N-Butyrate posseses anti-catabolic effects also. Leucine, the branched chain amino acid, is metabolized to ketoisocaproate, which is then metabolized to alpha amino-n-butyrate. This metabolite increases protein synthesis and minimizes protein damage from intense training. Not only is creatine absoprtion and effectiveness increased by this bond, but an element of anabolism and anti-catabolism is obtained. Di-Creatine Malate:Malic Acid is chemically bonded to two molecules of creatine to form DiCreatine Malate. The Malate bond is intended to improve creatine?s water solubility, absorption, and ATP-supporting actions. Improved absorption translates to a lower risk for gastrointestinal complaints (bloating, cramping, etc.). Trimethylglycine (TMG):TMG donates methyl groups to glycocyamine to form creatine. TMG is blended in a 4:1 ratio to glycocyamine to maintain homocysteine levels and support cardiovascular health. Glycocyamine: A metabolic precursor to creatine added to the blend to support natural creatine production. Guanidinopropionic Acid (GPA):An analog of creatine, also known to increase insulin sensitivity and increase cell volumization. GPA helps to reduce tolerance to the effects of creatine, greatly increasing the effects for those who are creatine ?non-responders.? Modified Glucose Polymers: Aids in the storage of muscle glycogen; the primary fuel source for anaerobic training. Sodium Bicarbonate (Effesorb Technology?): This exclusive delivery system ensures nutrients dissolve effortlessly in water and are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.
Cinnulin-PF?:An aqueous extract of cinnamon that is rich in uniquely linked proanthocyanidin antioxidants. These compounds ?turn on? cellular signaling mechanisms normally carried out by insulin. Ketoisocaproate Potassium (KIC-K): An anti-catabolic agent and precursor to the branched-chain amino acid leucine; the most potently anabolic of the amino acids.
