This is the breakthrough your muscles have been waiting for! What if there was a guarantee that every workout could be better than the last, where a reaction among volumizing agents caused dynamic energy and super compensation within the muscle promoting and increase in strength, vascularity, muscle fullness and performance? Now There Is! Experience the ultimate pump. ISS Satur8 is ISS Research's newest performance volumizing cocktail, designed to build results.

Making a sports performance product is not that hard. The reality is that if you have the money, you can get a product made. Okay, so it may be slightly more involved than that, but not much more as the barriers to enter this industry are almost nil. However, making an effective sports performance product that yields results - now that is a different story. Despite popular belief, it takes more then throwing the latest and greatest ingredients together and upping the percentages to overcome your competition. Unfortunately, many individuals in this industry think that this is the key; all so they can claim that their product is superior only because it contains "more" active ingredients per serving. But true athletes know that more is not always better, especially when it comes to sports nutrition. To develop an effective sports performance product it takes quality ingredients, research and real world results.

ISS, a company known in this industry for perfecting the criteria on producing high performance products, has delivered again with its latest project, ISS Satur8 ® . ISS Satur8 ® is a blend of the highest quality compounds backed by scientific research and perfected in the gym and on the field. Instead of rushing to market with a product and then reformulating it to make it super charged or low carb, ISS took a full year to look at the compounds in ISS Satur8 ® to determine what the safest and effective dosages would be. And during that year there was an abundance of companies introducing their versions of the latest generation cell volumizing product. But few, if any, got it right.

Before we dive into the inner workings of the components of ISS Satur8 ® let's summarize what ISS Satur8 ® is: a high-performance, volumizing cocktail that promotes a noticeable increase in strength, vascularity, muscle fullness and performance. Translation: a fuller, harder body that is as strong as it looks.

ISS Satur8 ® 's key ingredient is DiCreatine Malate (2CM TM ), the most superior and bioavailable form of creatine on the market. By supplementing with 2CM TM users take less of the actual product compared to creatine monohydrate yet still achieve the desired results of strength increases and muscle fullness. 2CM TM differs from creatine monohydrate in that the water molecule has been removed from the actual creatine molecule alleviating the problems associated with creatine monohydrate - cramping, upset stomach and water retention. 2CM TM forgoes these problems to deliver creatine straight to the muscle for muscles that look hard and defined, not soft and smooth.

However, the most exciting compound introduced in ISS Satur8 ® is Glycocyamine, or Glycovol TM , which is classified by Flex magazine as "the biggest breakthrough since creatine." Glycovol TM is actually a creatine precursor that works to increase the body's own production of creatine. Glycovol TM works better when stacked with another form of creatine, such as the 2CM TM in ISS Satur8 ® , as it enhances creatine uptake in muscle cells. In fact it works so well that even the people who saw minimal or no results from creatine monohydrate are seeing results from Glycovol TM .

When supplementing with Glycovol TM the necessity arises for an additional compound to be present in the formulation, Betaine Anhydrous, or Betapure TM . It is essential that Betapure TM be present to regulate the body's increased homocysteine levels caused by Glycovol TM , which if maintained at high levels over time may lead to potentially dangerous health problems. But including Betapure TM in the formulation is not enough. Through patented research (#2,761,807), ISS has learned that there is a specific ratio that needs to be achieved between Betapure TM and Glycovol TM , namely a ratio of 4:1 (Betapure TM : Glycovol TM ). This ratio allows Betapure TM to act as an effect methylating agent that helps detoxify the liver of excess homocysteine while increasing the efficiency of the conversion of Glycovol TM into creatine.

Many companies either do not have the correct ratios in their formulation or do not even include Betapure TM in their product at all. This is why it is scary to think that any hot shot with money can introduce a product in this market, even if they don't have the first clue of how certain ingredients interact within the body. Fortunately, ISS Satur8 ® is one of the only products on the market that actually has the correct ratio in place for maximum efficiency and maximum safety.

Also found in ISS Satur8 ® is a compound that has been causing a lot of buzz in gyms over the last year. This compound called Arginine AlphaKetoGluturate (AAKG) converts to nitric oxide within the body and virtually opens up the blood vessels completely saturing the muscles with blood and all the ingredients found in ISS Satur8 ® for the most ridiculous, skin stretching pump ever experienced. A few days on ISS Satur8 ® and users realize how this product got its' name! And, no, ISS does not state that it discovered AAKG or nitric oxide or that it was the first company to introduce it to the bodybuilding community as one company is proclaiming; they were just smart enough to know the incredible benefits of this compound and to include it in ISS Satur8 ® .

The final cell volumizing ingredient in ISS Satur8 ® is the amino acid Taurine, which some authorities have determined to be the most voluminous amino found in Type 2 muscle fibers, not glutamine, as once thought. Yes, you read correct, Type 2 muscle fibers, which are the same muscle fibers responsible for hyper-growth and power. In this manner Taurine is very similar to creatine in that it increases cell volumization and muscle fullness so the muscles appear rounder and fuller.

ISS Satur8 ® also contains Glucuronolactone, or Endurlac TM , which is a naturally occurring human metabolite that has been turning heads in the sports nutrition and nutraceutical industries thanks to the explosion of functional energy drinks. Endurlac TM has been shown in double-blind, placebo controlled studies to positively affect performance, reaction time and physical endurance. Exactly what is needed to push through that final rep and bury the competition!

But it does no good to have all these effective ingredients if it is created in bad taste; after all, a product can't be effective if it just sits in its container! ISS spent nearly four months tweaking the flavoring alone for ISS Satur8 ® in an effort to bring to their faithful consumers a product that was great tasting without loads of sugars or harmful sweeteners. And judging from the buzz this product is receiving on the boards and in the gyms (some say it tastes better than Kool Aid) - ISS got it right.

So what do you need to take away from this? That not all products are created equal. Sure, you could use another formula that costs less money, but for the sake of your health, do you really want to do that? In this industry, less money usually means inferior ingredients and corners cut. You shouldn't have to guess about the quality of ingredients going into your body. And you could try and use another formula offering more overall grams, but is that really the answer? Not if the dosages are not in the correct ratio and could actually be harmful to your health. My recommendation is to try ISS Satur8 ® ; you won't be disappointed.
