Abstract

A composition for enhancing cellular energy that includes creatine, L-arginine-α-ketoglutarate, D-ribose, L-carnitine, L-citrulline, and pyruvate. The composition is administering to a subject to enhance cellular energy, to increase relative intensity of physical activity performed by the subject, to increase endurance of the subject during the physical activity and to increase the muscle mass of the subject.

Claims (17)

1. A composition for enhancing cellular energy comprising:

creatine: L-arginine-α-ketoglutarate in the ratio of 1.5:1

L-arginine-α-ketoglutarate: D-ribose in the ratio of 1.33:1

D-ribose: pyruvate in the ratio of 3:1

pyruvate: L-carnitine in the ratio of 1.25:1;

L-carnitine: L-citrulline in the ratio of 2:1; and

one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of betaine, caffeine, α-lipoic acid, L-aspartate, glucomannan, succinate, glycine, Camellia sinesis , calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium, vanadium, and boron;

the composition increasing the relative intensity of physical activity in mammals, increasing the endurance of animals performing a physical activity, and increasing the muscle mass of mammals.

2. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising betaine, caffeine, α-lipoic acid, L-asp artate, glucomannan, succinate, glycine, Camellia sinesis , calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium, vanadium, and boron.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of creatine is 2.5-3.5 grams.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of L-arginine-α-ketoglurarate is 1.5-2.5 grams.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of D-ribose is 1-2 grams.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of pyruvate is 450-550 milligrams.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of L-carnitine is 350-450 milligrams.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of L-citrulline is 150-250 milligrams.

9. A method of enhancing the cellular energy of a mammal by administering the composition of claim 1 .

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising administering the composition to a mammal performing a physical activity 15-30 minutes before initiation of the physical activity.
