FAQ On Aspartame

What is aspartame?
Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener made from two amino acids normally found in protein, L-aspartic acid and L-phenyalanine. The combination of these amino acids delivers a sweetness 200 times greater than sugar. Due to its sweetness potential, only a small amount of aspartame is required to sweeten a product, as opposed to natural sugars such as fructose which may require several grams to do the same.*

Following is a list of examples of the amount of aspartame used "per serving" in consumer products as well as some CHAMPION NUTRITION products:

Product	Serving size	Aspartame content
Diet soda	12 ounces	180 mg
Metabolol-Endurance	14 ounces	120 mg
Gelatin dessert	4 ounces	95 mg
Hot chocolate	6 ounces	50 mg
Pro-Score	6 ounces	28 mg
Pudding dessert	4 ounces	25 mg

Why do some of these products use aspartame?
Primarily because Champion Nutrition wants to deliver substantial amounts of active ingredients in their products. Since aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar, it allows them to sweeten a product using amounts much less than 1% of the product formula, whereas if they were to sweeten with simple sugars they would be forced to sacrifice up 50% of the product formula.

What is phenylketonuria?
It is a condition by which the individual, called a phenylketonuric, cannot adequately metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine. Therefore, phenylketonurics need to be aware of anything that may contain phenylalanine in order to control their intake. Because of this, any product sweetened with aspartame must bear a warning on the label.

Does Champion Nutrition make any "aspartame-free" products?
Yes: Metabolol II plain, Revenge Sport, and Super Heavyweight Gainer. They also make Pro-Score 100 natural, which contains no artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors or additives.

FAQ On Caffeine

What is guarana?
Guarana (paullinia cupana) is the name of a plant native to Brazil. The seed of this plant contains the alkaloid guaranine, which yields effects similar to caffeine. This means that products containing guarana, such as MetMax, have 'caffeine activity.'

How much caffeine is in a cup of coffee? A cola?
A cup of coffee (5 ounces) contains around 100 mg per cup and a 12 oz. can of cola contains 45 mg.

How much caffeine is in Revenge?
The equivalent of 30 mg of caffeine.

How much caffeine is in Met-Max?
The equivalent of 1/4 cup of coffee, or 25 mg of caffeine.

FAQ On Creatine

What is the difference between Power Creatine and Creatine Xtreme?
Power Creatine is pure creatine monohydrate. Creatine Xtreme, on the other hand, is creatine monohydrate combined with glucose, maltodextrins, L-glutamine, taurine, Citrimax, vanadyl and Bioperine. The purpose of Creatine Xtreme is to deliver creatine into muscle at a faster rate by utilizing the body’s release of insulin as a creatine transport accelerator.*

Where does creatine come from?
Normally creatine is a component found abundantly in red meat. But the creatine used in Power Creatine and other Champion Nutrition products comes from a chemical reaction which involves sarcosine. Therefore, the creatine used in Champion Nutrtition products is not animal derived.

How does creatine work?
Once creatine is absorbed into the muscle cell, it gets converted to creatine phosphate by an enzyme called creatine kinase. The process involves the addition of a high-energy phosphate group.

To power muscle contraction the body uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a molecule with three high-energy phosphate bonds. When muscle contracts, ATP loses a phosphate bond and is converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate). When this happens, creatine phosphate supplements add the phosphate group back to ADP. This, along with the help of another enzyme, converts ADP back to ATP. This process of speeding up ATP regeneration is called the “creatine shuttle”.

FAQ On Protein

What is the difference between Pure Whey Protein Stack and ProScore 100?
Both products are whey proteins, but very different. Pure Whey Protein Stack is straight instantized whey protein designed to inexpensively and conveniently boost your dietary protein intake. It does not have any added amino acids and it is not hydrolyzed. Pro-Score 100 is an enzymatically hydrolyzed whey protein which does not contain any limiting essential amino acids, a property that gives it a higher biological value as well as an increased nitrogen retention value. In addition, Pro-Score 100 is hypoallergenic, since it contains hydrolyzed whey proteins and is lactose-free.*

What is a "hydrolyzed whey protein"?
A hydrolyzed whey protein is a whey protein that has been broken down into smaller fragments called “peptides”. These peptides contain small groups of amino acids usually called di-, tri or oligopeptides. When a whey protein, such as Pro-Score 100, has been hydrolyzed into whey peptides, it makes it easier to digest and absorb into the body. Therefore, less usable amino nitrogen is wasted and more nitrogen is retained to build new tissue.*

VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONFUSE a "hydrolyzed protein" with a "hydrolyzed whey protein". A hydrolyzed protein is a general term and could be anything from collagen towhey protein. If a label reads hydrolyzed protein, it could very well be hydrolyzed collagen, an inferior source of protein lacking the Essential Amino Acids. On the other hand, a hydrolyzed whey protein is the richest and most efficient source of the nine essential amino acids.*

What is so "special" about hydrolyzed whey proteins?
Whey proteins used in dietary supplements come from cows. They are dairy proteins and as such are not digested the same as human milk. They are harder to digest than other forms of protein, such as beef or egg protein. By hydrolyzing a whey protein you can make the protein easier to digest. Hydrolysis changes how the protein presents itself to your gut. Basically it's just a bunch of peptides loaded with valuable amino-nitrogen that are easily absorbed to make new tissue.*

By consuming a product which contains hydrolyzed whey proteins, you are giving your body the most efficient source of amino-nitrogen next to hooking up an IV and infusing free-form amino acids.*

FAQ On Glutens

What are glutens?
Glutens are vegetable proteins found in barley, rye, wheat and oats.

What is gluten intolerance?
Gluten intolerance is the inability to consume products which contain barley, rye, wheat, oats or its derivatives. Individuals with gluten intolerance are said to have “celiac disease.” In gluten intolerant individuals, the gliadin fraction found in glutens acts as a toxic substance to the intestinal wall, which causes intestinal malabsorption. Thus, nutrient transport is hindered and malnutrition and catabolism follow if glutens are not removed from the diet.

Does Champion Nutrition have any gluten-free products?
Yes, Metabolol II Plain, Revenge, Revenge Sport and Pro-Score 100 natural flavor. Since they manufacture the majority of their products "on site" and are in full control of said formulas, they can assure customers they ARE NOT adding any gluten-containing ingredients to products.

FAQ On The Glycemic Index

What is “glycemic index”?
Glycemic index is a term used to define the effect that food has on an individual’s blood glucose and insulin response. It is a measure which determines how fast and how high blood glucose levels get after food consumption, and how quickly the body responds by releasing insulin and normalizes those glucose levels .

Does Champion Nutrition have products that are low glycemic?
Yes. The majority of their products are designed to be low glycemic, with the exception of Creatine Xtreme.
