July 28, 2017

Clinical experts at the 14th Annual ISSN Conference learned how the scientifically studied ingredients Cognizin® Citicoline and Setria® Performance Blend may give athletes of all types a competitive edge. 

The conference ran this June 22-24, 2017, in Phoenix.

Results from a new study on Setria® Performance Blend were presented by Dr. Darryn S. Willoughby, Baylor Health and Human Performance Professor. That presentation was titled, “Role of L-Citrulline and Glutathione as an Ergogenic Aid: Effects on Muscle Strength and Mass in Response to Resistance Training.”

Setria® Performance Blend, a patent-pending mix of L-Citrulline and glutathione that enhances production of nitric oxide (NO), an important chemical compound for proper functioning of the body’s circulatory system, plus removal of ammonia and lactate.

Dr. Willoughby outlined how Setria® Performance Blend provides a valuable ergogenic effect to build muscle mass, accompanied by an increase in muscle strength. His presentation also covered:

•    How Setria® Performance Blend significantly increased lean muscle mass compared with placebo, suggesting a possible mechanism for raising muscle synthetic response.

•    The significant correlation between muscle mass and strength when taking Setria® Performance Blend.*

Dr. Deborah Yurgelun-Todd and Dr. Perry Renshaw presented “Get Your Head in the Game: Citicoline’s Impact on Brain Health, Focus and Concentration” on Saturday, June 24. The session reviewed ways that Cognizin® Citicoline, a nutrient especially vital to brain health, have been shown to help improve attention, focus and concentration.

Drs. Yurgelun-Todd and Renshaw, expert researchers at The Brain Institute at the University of Utah, helped attendees understand:

•    What is Cognizin® Citicoline and how does it power and strengthen the brain?

•    What are the natural sources of citicoline and why aren’t we getting enough?

•    What are best practices to improve overall brain health with Cognizin® Citicoline?
