Optimum Nutrition's CGT-10 is an advanced formula that combines three amazingly effective ingredients: Creatine, Glutamine & Taurine.* Each serving provides 5 grams of CreaPure^TM brand Creatine Monohydrate, 3 grams of L-Glutamine and 2 grams of Taurine.

Creatine is bodybuilding's ultimate supplement, and for good reason. For one thing, creatine can significantly increase lean muscle mass in just two weeks.* It is also responsible for improving performance in high-intensity exercise, increasing energy levels, and speeding up recovery rates.* It's no wonder athletes who use it have such of an edge over those who do not.* Soon we think nearly every athlete who competes will use it (if they don't already). Creatine's ability to enhance energy reserves in muscles comes from its muscle protein synthesizing action, while minimizing protein breakdown.* This occurs because creatine has the awesome effect of super-hydrating muscle cells with water.* It enhances muscles' growth too, making muscle fibers bigger and stronger.*

Glutamine is in high demand throughout the body. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. 60% of free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is L-glutamine. L-glutamine plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and it appears to be a very important nutrient for body builders.* When supplemented, it may help body builders reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.*

Tyrosine is an amino acid that can help you feel more alert (it does so by changing your brain chemistry). Dieting and performing a lot of cardio can deplete your body’s supply of norepinephrine a chemical that makes you feel strong, alert and energetic, and also enhances fat metabolism. Taking 1,000 mg of tyrosine upon waking can offset the depletion and loss of this neurotransmitter, helping you power through hard workouts and cardio sessions. Tyrosine also helps the body convert its own thyroid hormones-[T.sub.4] thyroid to a type called [T.sub.3], which helps burn more calories.

Directions

As a dietary supplement, mix two rounded teaspoons of CGT-10 with 4 oz of cold water or your favorite beverage. For best results consume one serving 45-60 minutes prior to and/or one serving immediately after exercise.
