GNC’s Mega Men Sport
GNC’s Mega Men Sport is designed to provide every training session with boosted endurance, heightened mental energy, and increased strength while supporting health overall with its blend of essential vitamins and nutrients. But rather than being taken just before workouts, Mega Men Sport has been designed to be administered twice daily to help provide benefits throughout the day. Does this approach make Mega Men Sport more useful than its competitors?
“MEGA MEN SPORT is a timed-release formula that includes vitamins and minerals to provide essential nutrients that may be missed in the daily diet. It contains 1,600 IU of vitamin D-3 for breast and bone health, immune support, as well as, B-vitamins that are important for cardiovascular health, energy production, and carbohydrate metabolism. This multivitamin fuels muscles and supports recovery with amino acids including BCAAs; features a joint cushioning blend for healthy joint cartilage; and provides a broad spectrum of cell-protecting antioxidants that also support immune health.”
What’s In It?
Multivitamin Qualities – This blend is chock full of vitamins and minerals, helping balance the entire system while it proves energy and endurance to support activity.
L-Glutamine – An amino acid involved in protein synthesis and hydrating muscle cells. Glutamine levels in the body are drastically reduced with intense exercise, restoring glutamine in the system can help prevent dehydration, muscle-soreness, and injury.
Green Tea Extract – Green Tea works as a powerful antioxidant, circulation enhancer, energetic stimulator (thanks caffeine!), and metabolism booster.
L-Arginine & L-Citrulline – Combine to provides extra support for nitric oxide production. L- arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide in the body while L-citrulline can be converted to L- arginine , assisting in the nitric oxide pathway.
We still have our reservations about the product overall. One of the biggest draw backs for us is that Mega Men Sport only contains creatine precursors and not actual creatine. Creatine precursors are probably a better to support creatine levels throughout the day to sustain stronger muscle function over longer periods of time. But this isn’t really the point of using creatine. Creatine is a powerful anaerobic performance enhancer. Its best when its used to lift big amounts of weight at low reps to tear down muscle so they can repair and grow larger. Having a steady dose over the course of the day won’t give you the same results.
Our Thoughts
Along with being a low-end creatine provider, it’s a GNC product–which means it’s overpriced. There are many similar products on the market just like this one that are not quite so expensive nor lack a good dose of creatine.
