And so we, too, are always trying to adapt our formula to the latest scientific findings, trends, and legal requirements. Who wants products that are no longer up to date? We always strive to offer the best possible products and provide you with state-of-the-art products, which is why we have also given our popular pre-workout booster, Shelter, a makeover.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe new BigZone Shelter focuses even more strongly on the synergies between the individual ingredients in order to make what is inside even more effective.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat exactly is in it?\u003cbr\u003e L-Citrulline DL-Malate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These days, no booster should be without citrulline. This amino acid plays a key role in our organism and serves as a precursor to arginine, which can in turn be converted into nitric oxide (NO). NO, among other things, helps promote the vasodilation of blood vessels—in other words, it widens them. This is intended to increase blood flow and thereby enhance the pump effect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reason we use citrulline in our BigZone Shelter instead of adding arginine directly is that studies have observed that taking citrulline causes blood arginine levels to rise more significantly than taking arginine itself.  This is because citrulline is better absorbed through the intestine and is also broken down less extensively by the liver through the so-called first-pass effect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing L-citrulline therefore makes more substrate available in the blood to efficiently promote the pump effect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eL-Tyrosine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e L-Tyrosine is another important amino acid in our metabolism. It is involved, for example, in the synthesis of thyroid hormones and also serves as a precursor to dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStudies have observed that taking L-tyrosine before training not only reduced the perception of stress but also increased alertness, thereby improving training performance, particularly under extreme conditions.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGuarana extract\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Guarana is a natural source of caffeine in which the stimulant is bound to natural plant compounds and is therefore released into the bloodstream more slowly. Almost 150 mg of the total 399,6 mg caffeine in BigZone Shelter comes from guarana, providing a consistent effect even during longer training sessions, without a sudden drop-off.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOxyStorm®\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e OxyStorm® is a patented amaranth extract with a high natural nitrate content. Studies have shown that natural nitrates may increase blood flow and thereby enhance the pump effect. Researchers have also observed a reduction in blood pressure and an improvement in athletes' work capacity following intake.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eL-Theanine from green tea extract\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Studies have observed that the amino acid L-theanine has calming effects without making you tired. Research has also observed that it may reduce the subjective perception of stress and thereby produce significant adaptogenic effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCurrent study reviews also show that L-theanine may act synergistically with caffeine and that, together, the two substances may improve attention, cognitive performance, and the subjective perception of mental fatigue more effectively than either substance considered in isolation.\u003cbr\u003e Caffeine\u003cbr\u003e Caffeine is probably THE key component of every training booster. In fact, it is also one of the few effective stimulants approved for use in food supplements and, without a doubt, the most widely consumed stimulant worldwide. It not only helps increase alertness but also concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIts mechanism of action is based on caffeine blocking adenosine receptors. Adenosine acts as a signaling molecule in our body that signals tiredness to our brain so that we can rest. When its receptors are blocked, the fatigue signal is no longer transmitted and, simply put, we remain awake.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor this reason, studies have also observed that caffeine in an amount of 3 to 6 mg per kilogram of body weight increases strength performance and work capacity during resistance training. BigZone Shelter contains almost 400 mg, combined from synthetic and natural caffeine, which is the maximum permitted amount per serving. For most athletes, this amount should correspond to 3 to 6 mg per kg.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCognizin®\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cognizin® is a patented raw material that provides citicoline, also known as CDP-choline. This substance consists of cytosine and phosphocholine and is broken down in the body into choline and cytosine. The cytosine is later broken down into uridine, which plays an important role in our central nervous system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe choline from Cognizin® in BigZone Shelter, in turn, serves the brain as a basic substance for the formation of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter that plays an important role in concentration and cognitive performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eL-Norvaline\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contrary to what its name might suggest, L-norvaline is not an analogue of the amino acid valine, but of isoleucine. L-norvaline is capable of inhibiting the enzyme arginase and thus reducing the breakdown of arginine in the blood. This makes more arginine available in the blood to be converted into nitric oxide by the enzyme NO synthase. We use it in BigZone Shelter with the intention of synergistically supporting the effectiveness of L-citrulline.\u003cbr\u003e Pine bark extract\u003cbr\u003e The main active compounds in pine bark extract are a group of proanthocyanidins. They have been shown to be capable of increasing the activity of the enzyme NO synthase and thereby enhancing the conversion and production of nitric oxide. Pine bark extract therefore represents another potentially synergistic ingredient in the pump matrix of BigZone Shelter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKannaEase®\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e KannaEase® is a patented raw material derived from a traditional South African medicinal plant called Sceletium Tortuosum, also known as “Kanna”. According to studies, it may improve mood and concentration, among other things, which, in our opinion, can only benefit productive training.\u003cbr\u003e Black pepper extract\u003cbr\u003e Black pepper, or more specifically the piperine it contains, is known to promote the bioavailability of various substances. Scientific studies suggest that piperine supports, among other things, the effects of the amino acids contained in BigZone Shelter and the pine bark extract, and may therefore contribute to improved effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVitamin B6\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like all vitamins, vitamin B6 also serves, among other things, as an important cofactor for the activation of metabolic processes. More precisely, vitamin B6 is involved in more than 100 metabolic reactions in our body. One of these, which we wanted to make use of in BigZone Shelter, is the conversion of the amino acid L-tyrosine into dopamine and later into adrenaline and noradrenaline by the enzyme L-DOPA decarboxylase.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e How should BigZone Shelter be taken?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As a pre-workout booster, BigZone Shelter should be taken approximately 30 minutes before training. One serving corresponds to 15 g of powder, or 1 g level measuring scoop. in 500 ml of water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Zone","offers":[{"title":"Red Berrys","offer_id":53768254750986,"sku":"210027-001","price":31.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/6792\/9354\/files\/210027-1.jpg?v=1789802186","url":"https:\/\/mynutrixion.com\/products\/big-zone-big-zone-shelter-2-0-450g-210027","provider":"My Nutrixion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
