Intra-workout supplementation has evolved, shouldn´t YOU?
Gone are the days of simply drinking water, or one of those high
sugar packed sports drinks intra-workout (DURING). If you are working
out to gain muscle, Instead of carrying around something that simply
hydrates you, or fills you with a bunch of simple sugars, which can
actually be detrimental to the goals of a physique athlete. Why not fill
your water bottle or shaker with peptides, amino-acids and
electrolytes, that are actually going to help BUILD Muscle, increase
recovery, decrease fatigue, in addition to staying hydrated?
The next evolution in intra-workout supplementation has arrived! Try IntrAbolic today and SEE and FEEL the difference!
What makes IntrAbolic different from the current supplement that fit in the pre-workout and post-workout categories?
By now, you are probably aware of the importance of two nutrient
timing windows: pre-workout and post-workout. However, one largely
overlooked nutrient timing window, is intra-workout(during-workout)
supplementation. IntrAbolic is a new breed of muscle
building supplements which was specifically designed from the ground up,
to be taken intra-workout to maximize MUSCLE GROWTH!
What makes taking nutrients Intra-Workout (DURING) so beneficial?
Exercise in itself causes our body´s to increase blood flow to
working muscles up to 500%, increasing amino acid delivery to skeletal
muscle by 650%! At the same time, cellular sensitivity is increased,
enabling our muscles to increase the rate of the absorption of
substrates and fuel. When high concentrations of amino-acids are present
in the blood stream DURING exercise, the response brought
about by exercise is GREATLY increased! Furthermore, by taking IntrAbolic,
you fight the catabolic (muscle breakdown) effects of exercise and
delay muscle fatigue, resulting in new gains in muscle mass.
Exercise + IntrAbolic= TRUE Muscle Building SYNERGY!
What are the issues and needs that should to be taken into account
and overcome when choosing an intra-workout supplement and how does IntrAbolic overcome them?
Issue ONE:
During exercise, physiologically, it is NOT optimal to be digesting
intact protein, such as whey or food during your workout, which will
divert blood and energy AWAY from your working muscles to your gut,
exactly what you DON´T want. This is a primary reason why a regular
intact protein like whey isolate, whey concentrate, milk protein or food
should NOT be used intra-workout.
IntrAbolic solution: We address these issues by utilizing a unique CUSTOM whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) exclusively found ONLY in IntrAbolic.
Our custom WPH has undergone a high degree of hydrolysis, which
breakdown large proteins into smaller fragments, called peptides. Our
custom WPH supplies 70-80% of its peptides, in the shortest and most
rapidly absorbed form, which are the low-molecular weight, di-and
tripeptides, we refer to as IntrAbolic-Peptides. Our
bodies contain transporters in our guts called PEPT1 which specifically
transport di-and tripeptides. Due to the fact that di-and triptides do
not have to undergo the same slow digestive process as regular protein,
they can bypass the disadvantages that intact proteins possess.
Buyer Beware: All hydrolyzed are NOT created equal.
The benefits from hydrolyzed proteins come from the content of di-and
tripeptides, with large variances in the percentage of hydrolysis the
whey protein has undergone. It is the percentage of hydrolysis is low,
the percentage of the beneficial di-and tripeptides will be low to
nonexistent. A low degree of hydrolysis will leave you with a high
amount of inferior polypeptides and little to NO di-and tripeptides.
Check the panels of other products that contain hydrolyzed protein and
look for the percentage of di-and tripeptides they contain. If they do
not disclose the percentage of di-and tripeptides on the label, be
warned they may be very low or even nonexistent. IntrAbolic contains an industry high of 70-80% di-and tripeptides, listed on our label.
Issue TWO:
Missing the intra-workout window of opportunity. Not only do slower
absorbed intact proteins need to be digested, which is NOT desirable
DURING exercise as mentioned above, but by the time the amino-acids
start being released into the blood and get circulated to your muscles,
the entire intra-workout window of opportunity is primarily missed.
Additionally, the slower release of amino-acids into the blood from
intact sources of proteins causes smaller blood plasma concentrations of
amino-acids limiting the response.
IntrAbolic solution: Rapidly absorbed di-and tripeptides and free-form amino-acids found in IntrAbolic greatly spike amino-acids concentrations DURING exercise, maximally stimulating the response
Issue THREE:
Many products are incomplete and supply ONLY the branch chain
amino-acids (BCAAs). Our bodies need ALL the nine EAAs to build muscle,
not just the three BCAAs. That´s why they are called ESSENTIAL
amino-acids, our bodies MUST get them from our diets and cannot make
them. Don´t settle for products that are incomplete and do not contain
all the EAAs needed to build muscle mass.
IntrAbolic solution: Our CUSTOM hydrolyzed whey contains ALL the EAAs in addition to having extra EAAs in free-form
Issue FOUR:
Low amounts or unlisted amounts of the most amino-acid leucine.
Research has shown, taking leucine in the amounts of 3-5grams per
sitting, directly stimulates protein synthesis, as well being
anticatabolic.
IntrAbolic solution: IntrAbolic
contains leucine in our custom hydrolyzed whey and in addition, an
extra 2.5grams of leucine in free form, putting it right in the
efficacious muscle building range.
Issue FIVE: No focus on increasing strength and endurance.
IntrAbolic solution: Including
1.6grams of beta-alanine. This amino acid is being touted as the next
creatine. It works by increasing intracellular carnosine levels which
has been proven to soak up hydrogen ions (the molecule that cases the
burn). This allows you to train harder and longer ultimately leading to
increased muscle mass and strength.
Issue SIX:
Does not contain electrolytes that are important intra-workout as they
have the ability to assist in absorption of fluid uptake in the gut,
assist in hydration and supply energy to working muscles. The Minerals
calcium and magnesium are suggested as they are needed for muscle
contraction.
IntrAbolic solution: Contains exact amounts of the needed electrolytes for optimal fluid uptake and
What makes IntrAbolic so unique and effective.. a closer look
Custom Whey Protein Hydrolysate = IntrAbolic-Peptides
IntrAbolic works by utilizing a unique whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) found exclusively in IntrAbolic.
Our custom WPH has undergone a high degree of hydrolysis (over 30%)
which supplies 70-80% low-molecular weight, di-and tripeptides we refer
to as IntrAbolic-Peptides. Unlike standard intact proteins and long chain peptides, IntrAbolic-Peptides
do not have to undergo the typical slow digestive process. Their unique
properties also allow them to utilize a highly efficient transport
system, specific to di-and tripeptides. Unlike regular amino acids
derived from intact proteins which are slow to enter the bloodstream, IntrAbolic-Peptides
are rapidly absorbed, causing a tremendous spike in extracellular amino
acids. Research has shown, it is extracellular amino acid
concentrations that stimulate and signal our bodies to increase protein
synthesis and maximize the response. Concurrently, this large
amino acid spike causes an insulin increase to fight muscle breakdown
which occurs during training. Rapid and efficient absorption also makes
these peptides ideal for use during your workout as they will not cause
bloating or stomach discomfort like other intact proteins.
Free-form amino acids
Another highly efficient and rapid way to get amino acids into the
blood (second only to WPH) is through ingestion of free-form amino acids
(ffAA´s). Intensive nutrient timing research studies show ffAA´s (due
to their quick absorption) can cause a big spike in blood plasma amino
acid concentrations and when timed properly with exercise, may illicit a
much greater response from exercise than intact proteins can.
Combining WPH with ffAA´s creates a powerful one-two punch in boosting and fighting catabolism. The beauty of combining di-and
tripeptides from WHP with ffAA´s is both use different intestinal
transporters to carry them into the blood, maximizing absorption speed
with very little redundancy. Current research shows that di- and
tripeptides may actually enhance the ffAA´s transporters, further
increasing the rate of absorption.
Leucine
This powerhouse amino acid has been shown in research to both
directly stimulate protein synthesis and indirectly by increasing the
hormone insulin, which is both and anti-catabolic. Simply put,
this is one of the most effective amino acids you can take intra-workout
and further enhances the response when other essential amino
acids are present.
Beta-Alanine, Carnosine Booster
Touted as the biggest scientific breakthrough since creatine, the
amino acid beta-alanine has exploded into the sports nutrition industry,
as more people find out just how effective this supplement really is.
This worldwide explosion can largely be credited to the enormous
popularity of our formula, IntraXCell, The World´s First DEDICATED
carnosine booster. When taken at a minimum dose of 3.2g per day, its
cumulative effects when taken daily for 1-2 weeks, can impact your
workout performance greatly.
Much of beta-alanine´s effects are realized by boosting the synthesis
of a intracellular (inside the cell) buffer called carnosine. Carnosine
is a dipeptide, composed of the amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine
and has the ability to stabilize muscular pH by soaking up fatigue
causing hydrogen ions (H+).
IntrAbolic has been dosed perfectly to combo with
IntraXCell to maximize the speed of carnosine synthesis and bring about
BIG GAINS in strength, muscle and endurance.. FAST!
Electrolytes/minerals
The importance of replacing the electrolytes: sodium, potassium and
chloride should not be overlooked since, during exercise, we are losing
electrolytes at an accelerated rate. Just as important, is their
ability to assist in the absorption of fluid and carbohydrate uptake in
the gut. The minerals calcium and magnesium are included as they are
needed for muscular contraction and muscular growth. When magnesium
levels are low during exercise, research has shown fatigue increases.
Frequently Asked Questions
So can´t I simply take any whey hydrolysis and receive the same benefits as IntrAbolic
No. NOT ALL whey protein hydrolysates (WPH) are created equal as
there are large variances in degrees of hydrolysis the whey protein has
undergone. A low degree of hydrolysis will leave you with a high amount
of inferior polypeptides and little to NO di-and tripeptides. Check the
panels of other WPH products and look for the percentage of hydrolysis
the whey has undergone. If they do not disclose the degree of hydrolysis
on the label be warned as it may be VERY low. Do not mistake the
percentage of how much of the product is WPH for the percentage of
hydrolysis the whey has undergone. They are NOT related. For example, IntrAbolic protein is 100% WPH, but the degree of hydrolysis is over 30%.

Directions:
Mix one serving of IntrAbolic in 8-16oz of water. We suggest mixing in a
bottle with a cap. Avoid air bubbles by slowly shaking the bottle. Allow the
powder to fully dissolve (2-5 minutes). Start sipping immediately prior to
exercise and continue to slowly sip throughout your workout session. IntrAbolic
is a concentrated formula and some individuals may need to begin with half a
dose for the first week to acclimate their bodies to the prickling sensation
created by the beta-alanine content.
