First Order’s Product Features
With 50 servings, First Order is an economical way of getting the benefits of this product at an affordable cost.
The Magnificent Seven Reasons to Take First Order:
Enhanced energy recovery by up to 20%
Enhanced ability to fight cortisol and enhanced mental acuity
Less fatigue by up to 34%
Enhanced exercise time to exhaustion by 14%
Immediate improvements in endurance exercise capacity
The latest in nutrient timing science
Sugar-free and Stimulant-free benefits
Features and Benefits
Beta-Alanine - Helps buffer lactic acid and allows you to train harder and longer.
Alpha-GPC - Boosts mental acuity.
Phosphatidylserine - Improves mood and decreases stress levels.
Rhodiola Rosea - Enhances endurance exercise performance.
Gingko Biloba - Enhanced cognitive function.
Nutrient Timing Science - By taking advantage of the science of nutrient timing, supplementation with First Order maximizes the way your body adapts to exercise, thus, allowing you to train harder, get stronger, and attain a lean, muscular physique.
Directions for Use:
You should consume 1 serving of First Order pre-exercise and/or during exercise for the best effects. Timing is critical. It is best to consume it 15 or less prior to exercise.
What is First Order and How Does it Work?
First Order is a Pre-Workout and During Workout formula. It is a scientifically formulated supplement that enhances anaerobic exercise performance, speeds up recovery, and improves mental acuity. By combining the latest nutrient timing science with the precise ratio of ingredients such as Beta-Alanine(1, 2), alpha-GPC (Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine)(3, 4), phosphatidylserine(5, 6) (SerinAid), Rhodiola Rosea(7), and Gingko biloba(8, 9), First Order is an excellent pre-, during, and post-workout supplement that can tremendously enhance your workouts. First Order (http://www.a1supplements.com/First-Order-200-Grams-p-16966.html) helps your body maintain optimal pH balance in your muscles so that you can train harder and longer. It also enhances mental acuity while supporting growth hormone and lowering cortisol levels.
How Combining the Science of Nutrient Timing Plus the Scientifically Formulated Ingredients Results in First Order. Your First Choice in Achieving an Awesome Physique and Boosting Performance.
Scientists have discovered that eating protein is essential for gaining muscle and improving fitness and performance. But did you know that when you eat is critical to promoting muscle gains as well as boosting performance? Yes, the dimension of time is part of the new science known as nutrient timing. Gain muscle. Lose fat. And do it at the right time. If you learn to use the clock, it’ll jump start you past than plateau that has been sitting on your shoulder like the proverbial 800 lb gorilla.
That’s where First Order comes in. With our proprietary formula, based on the latest science of nutrient timing and specialty ingredients, First Order is the supplement that is your first choice before working out. There is so much science that covering it all would be akin to writing a dissertation! So what we’ve done is given you to two most important reasons why First Order works safely and effectively.
First of all, the latest in nutrient timing science concludes that The science guys concludes that “early intake of an oral protein supplement after resistance training is important for the development of hypertrophy in skeletal muscle of elderly men in response to resistance training.”(10) But what is even more fascinating is that taking a supplement before you train is even better.(11) That’s why we recommend you take First Order before and/or during your workouts. Than on top of that, we’ve added the amino acid that has been shown through numerous studies to boost performance. What is that special amino acid? If you answered ‘beta-Alanine’, then go to the head of the class.
Beta-alanine is used to make something called carnosine. It is actually carnosine, in your muscles, that acts as a buffer. Carnosine is a dipeptide (i.e. two amino acids bound together) found primarily in fast-twitch muscle. With higher carnosine levels in muscle, however, you prevent the drop in pH. With H+ buffered, you continue to squeeze out reps, continue to run at a high intensity, or you simply lift heavier weights for more reps.
In a very recent study, 13 men were supplemented with beta-alanine for 4 weeks, 8 of these for 10 weeks. A biopsy of the vastus lateralis was obtained from 6 of the 8 at 0, 4 and 10 weeks. Muscle carnosine was significantly increased by 59% and 80% after 4 and 10 weeks beta-alanine supplementation. Carnosine, initially 1.71 times higher in the fast-twitch type IIa fibers, increased equally in both type I (slow twitch) and IIa fibres. More importantly, in a measure of cycling performance (total work done or TWD) 4 weeks of beta-alanine supplementation resulted in a significant increase in TWD (+13.0%).(12) Another study found that beta-alanine supplementation improved submaximal cycling performance and time to exhaustion in young women. The scientists theorized that this was perhaps the result of an increased buffering capacity due to elevated muscle carnosine concentrations. Even though these studies typically use cycling as their exercise performance test, it makes perfect sense that the same thing would occur with running, swimming, and other endurance type events or exercise. And last but not least, another study done by one of the leading researchers in the field of sports supplements, examined the effects of beta-alanine supplementation on physical working capacity at fatigue threshold (PWCFT) in untrained young men. Subjects consumed either 1.6g of beta-alanine or sugar placebo four times per day for six days, then 3.2 grams per day for 22 days. What happened? The results revealed a significantly greater increase in PWCFT of 14.5%. Or in plain English. That’s better performance!! A greater work capacity must equal more reps and more sets in a given workout.
Bottom line: If you are interested in boosting performance, better workouts, and attaining a lean, chiseled physique, First Order should be your first choice in your pre- and during workout regimen.
