APS Chain'd Reaction 25serv

Chain'd-Reaction is an advanced post-workout performance supplement specifically formulated to help your body recover from the extreme physical demands of high-intensity workouts. Ideal for elite athletes and hardcore bodybuilders, Chain'D-Reaction, can also help weekend warriors and beginners. Chain'D-Reaction is a incredible breakthrough in the supplementation of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) and recovery aids for muscle growth and repair after grueling training sessions. Most marketing companies hype some different ratios of BCAA's or mix in inferior amino acids to make you feel like you are getting "more aminos." APS Nutrition ultilizes the scientifically-proven 2:1:1 ratio but stands out from the crowd significantly in a very important way.... Chain'D-Reaction  is an ultra-concentrated BCAA formula that delivers ultra-miconization BCAAs. The micronization process of our BCAAs reduces the overall particle size which helps these crucial muscle building nutrients absorb in to the muscle more rapidly and more intact than other BCAA sources. In their free form state,

Leucine, Isoluecine and Valine are some of the most important amino acids within muscle growth and repair as they are metabolized directly in the muscle rather than the liver. As a result of this, BCAAs have a major role to play in protein synthesis, the process in which muscle fibers grow. Chain'D-Reaction Micronized BCAA is a genuine industry first! Nowhere else will you find raw Micronized BCAAs with no other ingredients, in the most scientifically supported 2:1:1 ratio. This ratio has been studied time and time again and has been proven to be the most effective combination of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine to promote protein synthesis and encourage a positive protein balance in the muscles when you need it most. As the building blocks of muscle BCAAs can prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue by providing a readily available source of energy. BCAAs are widely known to increase the rate muscle growth in response to training. In fact, research indicates that as much as 14% of muscle tissue is comprised of BCAAs. The BCAAs are 100% fermentation derived, Japanese-made and 100% Pharmaceutical-grade, which are the highest quality BCAAs you can buy.

Chain'D-Reaction is able to achieve the anabolic  BCAA ratio by combining Pharmaceutical-Grade L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine Amino Acids along with L-Glutamine and other Anabolic Agents for maximum muscle-building performance. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anti-catabolic ( preventing muscle breakdown) and muscle building effects. Recent university research shows that Leucine enriched beverages consumed with exercise synergistically activate and prolong activity of the mTOR signaling pathway, which increases muscle anabolic potential (muscle growth). The mTOR pathway is the "trigger" that signals the very genesis of muscle protein synthesis.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are so called because of their structure, which includes a “side chain” of one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms. There are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Of these, leucine is the most heavily researched, and appears to offer the biggest physiological benefit.

For the technical geeks, these hydrophobic (water-fearing) amino acids are referred to as “aliphatic” (from the Greek aleiphar, or oil), as their central carbon attaches to a branched non-cyclic, open carbon chain.

BCAAs provide the basis for protein synthesis and energy In fact, BCAAs can comprise up to one-third of muscle protein. Because of their prevalence and involvement n  protein synthesis and energy production, BCAAs are important to many metabolic processes. However, if BCAAs are going to be meaningful in these processes, they must be available to the body. This means we have to eat enough BCAAs, and at the right times, to enable such processes to occur.

 L- Glutamine represents over 60% of the amino acid content in the amino acid pool of muscle tissue. Intense training and exercise put greater demands on your body's need for Glutamine, making it a conditionally essential amino acid. Chain'D-Reaction  micronized L-Glutamine represents a leap forward in Glutamine supplementation. Chain'D-Reaction  uses a state-of-the- art particle micronization technology called Micro-Rx.  Each tiny particle of Chain'D-Reaction  is 20 times smaller than regular Glutamine powder. This allows for ultra fast absorption and utilization. Glutamine is the most common amino acid in the body and is key to the metabolism and maintenance of muscle tissue. Glutamine is also the highest concentrated amino acid in the muscle cell and acts as a primary shuttle for nitrogen from the bloodstream to inside the muscle cell, which is essential for the support of muscle tissue and growth hormone elevation.

Last, but not least, Chain'D-Reaction contains Sustamine — a revolutionary dipeptide form of L-Glutamine that supplies a combination of pure L-Glutamine (an amino acid for stimulating muscle protein synthesis) and L-Alanine (an amino acid needed for rebuilding glycogen stores). The result of a novel enzymatic process that bonds two amino acids together, this true dipeptide is much smaller than a complete protein and can be absorbed quickly. Clinically tested Sustamine is a breakthrough ingredient designed to help bodies rehydrate, replenish and recover. Muscles must be hydrated and engorged with glycogen. When workouts are over, the body needs to recover. Sustamine – a dipeptide of glutamine, the most abundant single amino acid in the body – provides essential support during times when the body undergoes large amounts of stress. On top of these benefits, research suggests that Sustamine is absorbed more than 200 percent better than standard L-glutamine.

A clinical study has shown Sustamine, increases performance in endurance exercise and activity. The study was published on February 3, 2010, in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (JISSN), a peer-reviewed journal covering various aspects of sports nutrition, supplementation, exercise metabolism, and/or scientific policies related to sports nutrition. The data published in the Journal of ISSN shows:
