The Xxtra Fitness Introduction Pack includes LowOz, QuadPlex, Creatine Now!, Power Generation, and a free shaker cup.

Lowoz™ recent research has even shown that dehydrating muscle by as little as three percent can result in a 12 percent decrease in strength. The average osmolality of blood is 250, and it's tough for your body to quickly absorb a fluid with a higher osmolality rating. The leading sports drinks have osmolality ratings above 250, but Lowoz features an osmolality rating of just 220 * Hydration is a critical part of activity; in fact, the lack of proper fluids can result in fatigue and muscle cramps. Without sufficient fluid, your body is less capable of moving nutrients through your system and distributing oxygen. And, recent research has even shown that dehydrating muscle by as little as three percent can result in a 12 percent decrease in strength. Plus, when you sweat, you lose electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, which are critical for all bodily functions. And, you can become dehydrated before you ever sense thirst. So will quaffing loads of water do the trick? That's a start, but water will do nothing to help sustain a healthy electrolyte balance or energy. How about reaching for one of the leading sports drinks, like Gatorade ®, Powerade ® or All-Sport ®? These all have higher osmolality than LowOz. What is osmolality? It is the measurement of solid particles in a liquid. The average osmolality of blood is 250, and it's tough for your body to quickly absorb a fluid with a higher osmolality rating. The leading sports drinks have osmolality ratings above 250, but lowoz features an osmolality rating of just 220. With proprietary technology in a unique formula, lowoz enables fluid to absorb quickly to rehydrate and help balance electrolytes. It also replenishes your body with a balanced mixture of carbohydrates for energy and electrolytes including sodium, potassium and magnesium.* Conveniently packaged in individual foil packs that preserve nutrients, lowoz is available in fruit punch flavor and made with 100 percent natural flavors and coloring.

RESEARCH BRIEF Osmolality is the measurement of solid particles in a liquid. Principles of chemistry teach us that a liquid will flow from a low osmolality environment to a high osmolality environment. This lowers the overall concentration of the solid particles and spreads out any associated charges of ions (electrolytes). The average osmolality of blood is 250. Lowoz has been tested at an osmolality of 220. Water is driven to areas of higher osmolality. Since the drink will have a lower osmolality than the tissues, water will be absorbed into the tissue where it is needed. Research has shown the importance of proper hydration to help maintain optimal performance. In fact, dehydrating a muscle by as little as 3 percent can cause a 12 percent decrease in strength. Allowing water into the muscle tissue helps to balance the electrolytes, as well as providing an environment that may allow for further muscle growth and optimal recovery from exercise.

QuadPlex: Think protein is just for bodybuilders? Think again. Protein is critical for building cells and promoting lean muscle mass, which is the body’s furnace where calories are burned. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories you can burn. Protein is also needed for the growth, maintenance and repair of cells, including those in muscles. It’s also important for immune function and the production of enzymes, hormones and DNA. Your body produces protein from amino acids, but strenuous activity can lower the supply of these nutrients needed for building muscles. If you don’t replenish your supply of amino acids, the rebuilding process will suffer. Now, utilizing key amino acid technology, Quad-Plex® can give you a powerful quadraplex of four highly absorbable, efficiently metabolized proteins to support lean muscle mass. Quad-Plex® combines Ultimate Performance’s exclusive Promune™** whey protein concentrate plus whey, soy and milk protein isolates in a delicious drink mix. Patented Promune is a high-quality protein that supports muscle synthesis, maintenance and repair.* We’ve enhanced this formula even more by including three additional types of protein, because the amino acid mix – the number, type and proportion of amino acids – determines the quality and biological value of protein. With 22 grams of protein per serving, this delicious, vanillaflavored, nutrient-rich shake provides needed amino acids to muscles after an intense workout to maintain a positive protein balance for the anabolic (building up) support you need! And, it’s fortified with L-glutamine, lysine, taurine, glycine and branched-chain amino acids that are important for muscle building.* Enjoy the benefits of a high-protein drink by supplementing your diet with just 120 calories — and every scoop packs 50 percent of daily values for 13 vitamins and minerals. Plus, Quad-Plex® mixes easily in a blender or shaker cup so you can drink and go in just minutes. Unleash your body’s power by giving it the protein it needs  in a great-tasting, cutting-edge formula!

creatine now ™ patented effervescence technology delivers high quality, effervescent creatine that your body can absorb and use. You want more strength and better definition. You want to feel power as you perform and see results in the mirror. So you lift weights and workout rigorously, pushing your body's limits. But, you're still not achieving the top-notch results you crave. It could be because your body needs additional nutrients -- including creatine -- to perform better. When you lift weights or engage in other high-intensity exercise that tests the strength of your muscles, they exert ATP, which is biochemical energy. Your body produces ATP from phosphocreatine that's stored in the muscles until it's needed. And, that comes from creatine, a natural substance your body creates two grams of daily and that comes from common foods such as red meat and certain fish. But that just covers the basic amount that everybody needs on a routine basis. As an athlete, you demand more than the basics out of your body, so you need more creatine. Plus, since you workout regularly, your body's creatine demand is already higher because ATP is not stored in large amounts in the body, and it can be depleted quickly during intense workouts. That's where creatine supplementation comes into play. More than 80 clinical studies have proven creatine's effectiveness in delaying muscle fatigue, enabling you to work out longer and develop more strength, larger muscles and greater results.* So which creatine supplement should you take? You need one that delivers more than the average powder. You need one that supplies high-quality creatine that will dissolve in water so your body can absorb and use the nutrients, instead of just letting most of them pass through your system, as with some plain creatine powders. You need Creatine Now!, a new dietary supplement that employs the latest scientific discoveries about an optimum creatine delivery system. Here's what distinguishes this dramatic product: • Patented** Effervescence Technology. Using patented technology in a formula that's exclusive to our company, Creatine Now! delivers high-quality, effervescent creatine that your body can absorb and use. This puts an end to clumps and grit and means the nutrients will be easily available for absorption. • Proprietary Blend of Key Vitamins. Unlike other creatine products, Creatine Now! packs in a proprietary mix of vitamins such as C and B complex that are critical to athletic bodies. Because these nutrients are delivered through the effervescent system, they are available for absorption at the same time as the creatine.
