2:1:1 BCAA ratios are a thing of the past! – 100% more L-leucine and 50% more total BCAA's in Body Mortar than the leading BCAA products.
Body Mortar™ - The Ultimate Muscle Potentiator - is a Mega Dose of key energy aminos consisting of the now standard 4:1:1 ratio, formulated to fuel the most competitive athlete through the most grueling activity. With the old 2:1:1 BCAA ratio a thing of the past, Body Mortar utilizes an anabolically SUPERIOR 4:1:1 ratio of BCAA’s (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine), Body Mortar™ activates key muscle growth pathways and genetic regulators, resulting in superior levels of protein synthesis and new muscle growth!
- Anabolically Superior 4:1:1 BCAA
- Growth/Endurance/Recovery Formula
- Stimulant Free
- Speeds recovery
- Supports optimal growth hormone levels
- Reduce muscle breakdown
- Promotes stamina and endurance
So why does AMS use 100% more L-leucine (Anabolically Superior 4:1:1 ratio) than most other companies who use the outdated 2:1:1 ratio?
Leucine is an essential amino acid (meaning the human body cannot synthesize it and it needs to come from dietary methods). Leucine has been growing in popularity because of its ability to initiate protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. Leucine does so by activating the anabolic pathway mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), which lets the body know that there is sufficient protein to begin synthesizing new skeletal muscle Protein. Protein synthesis is initiated when there is a greater concentration of leucine in the mTOR pathway. Leucine will also cause a release of insulin, which will further encourage anabolism. All these physiological actions lead to one important result – lean muscle augmentation.
Leucine is the most coveted component of the BCAA family, and the heart of our product, but we don't want you to think that L-valine and L-isoleucine are marginal ingredients, so here are a few of their benefits:
- L-valine and L-isoleucine are used to maintain a positive nitrogen balance in the body.
- L-valine and L-isoleucine are used to repair and heal muscle tissue.
- L-valine is needed for metabolism within muscle cells.
- L-valine is found in high quantities in muscle tissues.
- L-isoleucine has the ability to increase endurance and stamina.
- L-isoleucine's most intriguing use is its ability to maintain energy levels by regulating blood sugar levels.
In addition to Body Mortar’s “Anabolically Superior” 4:1:1 BCAA dose per serving, each scoop delivers 2.5 grams of glutamine necessary to metabolize protein and reduce catabolism:
Glutamine is in high demand throughout the body. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. Roughly 60% of free-form amino acids found in skeletal muscles are L-glutamine. Glutamine plays a very important role in protein metabolism and is an absolutely essential nutrient for body builders. When supplemented, it helps body builders reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not consume the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.
Research shows that after an intense training session, glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%. Because the body relies on glutamine as cellular fuel for the immune system, glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle tissue and improve protein metabolism. Glutamine's cell-expanding effects have also been supported by several studies, including one that suggests a significant increase in growth-hormone levels of weight-training adults, when as little as 2 grams of free-form L-glutamine supplement was consumed.
BODY MORTAR CONTAINS NO SLOW ACTING "RESISTANT STARCHES"
Body Mortar’s fast digesting Maltodextrin/Dextrose blended carb source is superior to "resistant starches" like Vitargo™ or Waxymaize because…
During exercise (and hopefully the grueling, intense kind), your body needs carbs that are easily digested for rapid uptake, so the simpler the better. Once you’ve exceeded your stored energy during an intensive workout, it is crucial to tap in to that “extra fuel” and push beyond the norm – hitting deep muscle fibers.
If you’re worried about what you’ve read in regards to the evils of a “Hi Glycemic Index” carb – don’t be. These studies were conducted on subjects who weren’t training – conversely, they were completely sedentary for the study. It is now considered common knowledge that during intense exercise/training, the increase in circulating GH and more importantly catecholamines (Fight or Flight mechanisms), overrides the effect of insulin. Only be concerned about high GI carbs if you’re not training (the more insulin you have in your bloodstream, the more cortisol you have. As your insulin goes up, so does your cortisol).
Everybody wants to be big and ripped, who’s ready to pay the price?
Muscle growth comes from going beyond the norm, and hitting the DEEP muscle fibers - moving serious tonnage in the gym makes you big and ripped. Other preworkout energy powders are great for guys who want to stay comfortably small.... After you crash and hit the wall - that's when the GROWING STARTS BABY...You can say "I'm too tired” and go home, or reach for Body Mortar and go BEYOND your last workout....
Body Mortar is available in Fruit Punch and Blue Raspberry.
