Athletic Xtreme Axcell Bcaa's Product Information
Axcell is a breakthrough Branch Chain Amino Acid (BCAA)
supplement that is precision engineered to fuel today's athlete.
Utilizing an SUPERIOR 4:1:1 ratio of the key Amino Acids
L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine, Axcell instantly triggers YOUR
key muscle growth pathways. This dosing of branch chain amino acids
enables key genetic regulators to be switched on explosively, resulting
in superior levels of protein synthesis and new muscle growth! In
addition, Axcell was designed to crush multiple pathways of fatigue
onset, including fatigue-inducing toxins that are rampant in your body.
Axcell instantly fuel-injects hard training athletes of any caliber with
the ability to train harder and longer, with greater power and
endurance, while advancing recovery times at monumental rates. No matter
what your game, Axcell will drive your performance to unrivaled levels
of accomplishment! Axcellerate your results TODAY!
BCAAs...those are "just amino acids" right? If they are
under-dosed they certainly are. Axcell's BCAAs consist of leucine,
isoleucine, and valine, and can be unimaginably powerful when dosed
properly. Intake of BCAAs exerts an impressive protection effect on
muscle tissue, reducing the elimination of BCAAs in muscle tissue by 30%
post exercise 1. Needless to say, BCAAs are powerful!
Axcell utilizes FOUR TIMES the amount
of leucine compared to isoleucine and valine provided. Why is that so
important? With leucine's profound effects on igniting protein synthesis
3, leucine can activate the signals WITHOUT imparting negative
androgenic side effects!
The powerful effects of leucine
begin with its ability to flood the muscle cell with a greater
concentration of amino acids. This is accomplished through leucine's
ability to up-regulate System A Transporters, a similar effect of
insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1). A greater number of these transporters
become available on the muscle cell membrane surface, allowing for amino
acids to cascade inside the muscle 4! Leucine then drives deep into the
muscle cell where it switches on profound effects without
disrupting hormones! Leucine stimulates protein synthesis through the
commanding genetic regulator responsible for massive muscle growth, mTOR
5,6! mTOR, short for Mammalian Target of Rapamycin, regulates increased
muscle cell growth and protein synthesis. Flip this key growth
switch into the ON position, and you'll ignite muscle growth instantly.
Supercharge your Energy with Branch Chain Amino Acids!In addition to leucine's myotrophic
effects on muscle, BCAAs also serve as an important fuel source for
energy, stamina, and endurance, and do so through a variety of pathways.
During exercise your muscles BCAA supply becomes the metabolic victim
of a massive effort to generate energy. Yes, your BCAAs are ripped apart
and destroyed at a devastating rate, as they are metabolized directly
inside the muscle cell to produce fuel for the Kreb's . The Krebs is part of a metabolic pathway of macronutrient destruction that
chemically converts proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into carbon
dioxide and water to produce energy. By providing your body with
Axcell's superior 4:1:1 ratio of BCAA's, you can provide your hard
working muscles with not only more fuel to power through gruesome
workouts, but also iron-clad protection against the destruction of hard
earned muscle mass!
BCAAs further contribute to the enhanced
feelings of energy, endurance, and stamina by decreasing the amount of
tryptophan that is delivered to the brain. The amino acid tryptophan is
commonly found in turkey and is infamous for making people sleepy.
Tryptophan is converted into serotonin in the brain, which creates a
feeling of tiredness. As your BCAA levels diminish from exercise, more
tryptophan will become present in your blood plasma than BCAAs. Why is
that important? Well, both tryptophan and BCAAs compete for the same
transporter that carries them both to the brain. Thus more tryptophan is
carried to the brain, creating a feeling of tiredness. Ever get tired
while working out? Utilization of Axcell's superior 4:1:1 ratio of BCAAs
will give YOU the ability to maintain optimal levels of energy for the
complete competitive advantage over your competition.
AFO-x Technology!Advanced Fatigue Opposition,
or AFO-x Technology was strategically designed to provide you with
additional and advanced opposition against the crippling affects of
fatigue-induced exercise failure. AFO-x Technology functions on a
multitude of levels where it adds to the powerful anti-fatigue
properties of BCAAs, and will be pivotal for taking your performance to
that next level.
Fatigue is a crippling and limiting force
that blunts maximum human performance and activation of muscle
fibers. As you crank out the sets and reps, fatigue perception and
toxins such as ammonia, lactic acid, and other nitrogen-based byproducts
begin to accumulate inside your blood stream. As concentrations grow,
these fatigue toxins wage a full scale brutal assault that results in a
devastating loss of power, stamina, performance, and the ability to push
forward. Ironically, it is at this very point when fatigue sets in,
that you must overcome it in order to stimulate new muscle growth and
force the body to adapt to a higher performance capability. So how do
you get past this juggernaut of a roadblock?
Citrulline Malate:Citrulline Malate
is a combination of two compounds that are naturally occurring in the
body. Citrulline is a nonessential amino acid produced from . So how does this benefit YOU? Ammonia and lactic acid build up can
lead to severe fatigue, and excessive ammonia can be heavily toxic.
When fatigue sets in, athletic performance is hindered and grinds to a
halt! Malate acts as an intermediate in the Krebs and is
dehydrogenated to produce oxaloacetate. When oxaloacetate concentration
levels decline, so too does the production of aerobic ATP, thus leading
to lower levels of energy and performance.
Citrulline Malate
plays a crucial role in crushing the competition. When fatigue sets in,
the mind can be a greater adversary to overcome than the weights.
However, supplementation with Citrulline Malate has proven to
significantly reduce the feelings of fatigue! With ATP being a major
source of fuel during exercise, Citrulline Malate dramatically enhances
the rate of oxidative ATP production during exercise by 34%! Citruilline
Malate can also increase the rate of phosphocreatine replenishment
after exercise by 20% 7. And Citrulline Malate can also dilate your
blood vessels the size of garden hoses by elevating blood plasma levels
of endogenous L-arginine, thereby increasing levels of Nitric Oxide!
L-taurine:L-taurine,
the second component of AFO-x Technology, is the second most abundant
amino acid found in muscle tissue. It is involved in numerous metabolic
reactions inside the body including its beneficial effects on the
cardiovascular system, functioning as a neurotransmitter 8, and
maintaining cell membrane stability. Taurine's contributions to AFO-x
Technology are wide ranging and highly beneficial. First, taurine is one
of the most abundant amino acids found in the heart muscles. It is very
beneficial to the heart and cardiovascular system 9, a system that is
vital to any level of athletic performance. Taurine can also act as a
potent antioxidant10. During exercise, consumption of oxygen can
increase by a factor greater than 10 11. This results in a large
increase of oxidant production, resulting in damage contributing to
muscular fatigue both during exercise and post workout. In fact,
supplementing with taurine has been shown to prevent oxidative stress
created by exercise 12. And, some evidence suggests that taurine may
even be necessary for skeletal muscle to function normally 13!
Glucuronolactone (DGL):The final component of AFO-x
Technolgoy is Glucuronolactone (aka DGL), a naturally occurring
compound created by the metabolism of glucose in the liver. Contributing
to AFO-x Technology is DGL's effect on glycogen. DGL may have a
significant effect on the synthesis of glycogen while simultaneously
protecting an athlete's glycogen stores 14. Glycogen is the primary
source of energy for the body, allowing muscles to ferociously contract
over and over without fatiguing. The more glycogen that is synthesized
and retained, the greater the energy resources YOU will have to call
upon, thus delaying the onset of fatigue. DGL also has many other
beneficial effects for the athlete. DGL is believed to have protective
effects on the liver, improving the physical state and function of the
liver14. It is an important structural component of nearly all
connective tissues, including tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Therefore it may help to support the elasticity and tensile strength of
cartilage, as well as help protect the tendons and ligaments of hard
training athletes. Greater protection and maintenance of these
connective tissues allows for superior and prolong performance. And DGL
may also help hormones to be freed up in the liver, allowing for greater
use of endogenously produced hormones 15,16.
Achieve Superior Absorption Through LPC, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin C.As you have seen,
Axcell is driven by a mega-dose of powerful ingredients. But what good
does that mega-dose do you if your body can't absorb it? LPC
(Lysophosphatidyl Choline), Vitamin B6, and Vitamin C greatly increase
the absorption of the BCAAs into the blood stream. Enhanced absorption
capabilities backed by superior utilization of ingested proteins makes
Axcell the perfect training partner!
