YOUR GENETICS ARE POWERLESS!
For as long as you’ve been
lifting weights you’ve probably been told that your genetics
will ultimately determine how strong, how big, and how lean you
can get. You were also told that muscle cells don’t divide and
the one’s you have will grow only so much. You learned that,
short of resorting to risky alternatives, you’d eventually reach
a point where your improvement would slow to a crawl or stop
altogether.
Worst of all, this logic was more or less
correct.
Everything is about to change
Today, we are
standing at the forefront of the greatest discovery for athletes
in the last fifty years. Researchers have discovered the primary
gene for the control of muscle. This gene makes a peptide that
prevents muscle growth and increases fat storage. They call it
myostatin.
If you want to get lean and gain muscle or
strength, myostatin is your worst enemy. It is the one peptide
in your body whose only mission is to stop you from getting in
better shape! Everyone makes myostatin, and it is the primary
reason why it is almost impossible to make dramatic increases in
muscle size and performance naturally. That’s because every time
you do something that stimulates improvement, your body stops it
with a burst of myostatin.
Suppress myostatin and muscles
begin to grow naturally
In the past few years, scientists have
discovered that suppressing myostatin production enabled animals
to achieve staggering levels of muscularity! In some cases, the
genetically altered mice that produced no myostatin had as much
as 300% more muscle than normal mice.
Also, the animals that
have been subject to genetic myostatin control are fantastically
lean in spite of their impressive muscularity.
Most exciting
of all, when researchers block the creation of myostatin, muscle
cells begin to divide and grow… naturally! For fifty years,
we’ve been told this wasn’t possible!
Short of genetic
splicing – how can myostatin be controlled?
After extensive
research, Champion Nutrition found a scientist that had isolated
a naturally occurring fraction of a sea algae. This compound
binds strongly to myostatin, thereby deactivating it. This
discovery made it possible for Champion Nutrition to begin work
on the first product ever specifically designed to bind
myostatin in humans.
MyoStim™ – the first generation of the
new age
Once we had found a compound that bound myostatin we
had to develop a delivery system to get it into muscle. At the
same time we wanted to make sure that all of the synergistic
pathways of muscle synthesis were properly supported. After all,
muscle development requires that many things come together at
once.
Unlike other supplements, which may work fast, but with
results that taper off over time, the action of myostatin
control is gradual but consistent. In fact, research studies
have shown that as long as myostatin is under positive control,
animals NEVER PLATEAU!
Research also indicates that it
doesn’t require the huge amounts of food to gain lots of mass
once myostatin is under control. Animals under myostatin
control, gained extraordinary amounts of muscle on similar food
but were actually much leaner than normal animals! They also had
much lower cholesterol levels. Myostatin inhibition may prove to
be the fat loss secret of the future.
It appears that, for
the first time, you may be able to improve even when you’ve
blown it by missing a workout or missing a meal.
Even things
like being stressed out (which would normally stop your gains
dead in their tracks) won’t affect your growth the same way when
you have myostatin under control. In fact, research indicates
that controlling myostatin may make it easier for you to
experience the following:
Constant steady growth/Never
Plateau
Ability to continue to grow even in sub-optimal
conditions such as missing meals, or workouts, or when under
stress
Makes it possible to grow more efficiently (i.e. don’t
need to eat exagerated amounts of food)
Inhibition of
myostatin results not just in bigger muscle fibers but an actual
increase in the number of muscle fibers
In addition, only
Champion Nutrition’s MyoStim™ is enteric coated. Unless enteric
coated, up to 99% of the myostatin binder may be destroyed
during digestion.
The eternal question: Do muscle cells
divide or just get bigger?
We got hold of a study that answered
the question that has been nagging muscle researchers for 30
years: Under the right influences can you force muscle cells to
divide? This new research shows that by controlling myostatin
you can actually do something even better!! When you suppress
myostatin prior to training three things happen:
Satellite
cells begin dividing rapidly - when myostatin is suppressed
Satellite cells used to be thought of as just embryonic cells
that played little role in the adult. Now they are know to be
the key to muscle growth!
Satellite cells convert to Myoblast
cells
Myoblasts become very active - when myostatin is
suppressed
Myoblasts bind to muscle cells and add new nuclei
to the muscle cell - this is what allows a mature muscle cell to
grow bigger (the size of a muscle cell is directly related to
the number of nuclei it has).
Myoblasts begin producing
microtubules that form the membranes of brand new muscle cells!
Myoblasts add nuclei to these microtubules and a new muscle cell
is born!

Frequently Asked Questions:
MOST FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTION:
Is "FRACTION-C™" the same as MYOZAP™ or
CSP3™?
FRACTION-C™, MYOZAP™ and CSP3™ are all trade names for
the myostatin-binding extract obtained from cystoseira
canariensis, the brown sea algae which has been shown in
laboratory experiments to have myostatin-binding capabilities.
What is myostatin?
It is a peptide naturally produced in the
body that is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, which
means that it limits or prevents muscle from growing. Myostatin
levels vary amongst individuals and appears to be genetically
pre-determined, which is why some individuals are able to attain
and maintain more muscle mass than others. Myostatin levels have
been shown to be higher in individuals experiencing some form of
muscle-wasting syndrome, such as AIDS, and in elderly
individuals.
Where is myostatin found?
Myostatin is found in
blood but its receptors or binding sites are in skeletal muscle
(the type of muscle that gives your body its definition). That
is where myostatin carries out its muscle-growth-inhibiting
task.
What does myostatin do?
In essence it controls how
much muscularity an individual can achieve.
Recent animal
studies indicate that myostatin control may also have a role in
muscle regeneration, which means the creation of new muscle
fibers. A process once thought to be impossible.
Myostatin
levels have also been shown to have a direct relationship with
the amount of body fat produced. It appears that the absence or
control of myostatin could potentially control fat
synthesis.
Why is myostatin control important?
Controlling
the effects of myostatin could enable the individual to increase
muscle mass while at the same time reduce body fat.
What is
MyoStim™?
It is a first generation myostatin binder. Derived
from a specific type of sea algae (cystoseria canariensis)
native to the Canary Islands. The extract of this plant has
shown a unique property: myostatin-binding capabilities.
How
does MyoStim™ work?
In order for myostatin to perform its
function of limiting muscle growth it must first get to the
muscle. The active component in MyoStim binds to the myostatin
peptide preventing it from getting to the muscle. With myostatin
disabled so are the limits of your muscle growth.
The
ingredients in MyoStim are designed to help you take control of
your muscle growth in the following ways:
Disable myostatin
at the point of attack.
Improving power output yield from the
conversion of creatine to creatine phosphate, the high energy
compound responsible for increased strength.
Helping to reduce
exercise-induced cortisol.
Enhancing the anabolic environment
for additional muscle gains, by improving the rate of protein
synthesis
In addition, the enhanced delivery system allows
for better absorption of the active ingredients by preventing
breakdown in the stomach while improving nutrient transport in
the intestine.
How long will it take to work?
The mice
were under myostatin control for a period of a year or so! We
believe myostatin binding is something you should start using as
soon as possible in your bodybuilding life to gain an edge. Keep
in mind that myostatin control takes time and that myostatin
suppression doesn't make you grow, it removes the roadblock to
growth - and then the natural tendency of muscle is to grow
constantly.
If my muscles won't bulge right away what will
I notice?
You will notice that you feel tighter and more
pumped when you wake up in the morning.
You'll notice less
soreness and inflammation in the muscles (because the myoblasts
should be covering micro-tears and reducing white blood cell
involvement).
You'll notice you seem to recover faster.
You
should begin to look more lean and defined.
Within a month you
should be able to measure growth.
How do I take it?
Take
two caplets twice a day on an empty stomach and don't eat
anything for 30 minutes. Take 12 hours apart.
Do not
over-train. In fact you might be better off reducing your
training intensity (don't do forced reps) and reduce the sets
and reps by about 30% and see if you grow better after a couple
weeks. This is all just a guess. We'll know more once we start
getting feedback.
Will the body acclimate to myostatin
binders?
No, it doesn't appear that you will acclimate to
myostatin Binders. One of the most recent studies on myostatin
informally established this fact. He induced high levels of a
peptide that inhibits myostatin binding with the myostatin
receptor site in hamsters. Over the life of the hamsters they
continued to grow just as if they had been genetically altered
to be incapable of making myostatin. So, although more research
is needed it doesn't look like up-regulation of myostatin will
occur. In other words the body does not appear to acclimate to
myostatin.
If I stop taking myostatin binders will my muscles
disappear?
We believe muscle size will not go away when you
stop taking myostatin binders. When an athlete stops taking
steroids, muscles shrivel. But steroids do not work like
myostatin binders. It appears that reducing myostatin activity,
even in mature animals, results in new muscle cells being
formed! Consequently, it should be relatively easy to keep your
muscle if you ever stop taking myostatin Binders. But why would
you want to stop? The real benefit comes with staying on them
throughout your bodybuilding career. I think the part of the
muscle gains that come from making new muscle cells will stay
permanently. This may be more than 50% of the muscle you
gain!
Will it cause heart muscle or smooth muscle to grow the
same as it does for skeletal muscle?
No. Myostatin is quite
specific for skeletal muscle. Even on animals who have 100%
inhibition of myostatin there are minimal direct effects seen on
the heart or on smooth muscle. This was one of the first things
we were concerned about. It does appear to improve strength and
recovery of cardiac tissue just a little, but it certainly
doesn't cause the kind of massive hypertrophy seen in skeletal
muscle or else the little hamster's chests would have exploded
half-way through the experiment!
How about other
side-effects?
Because myostatin is so specific, it only
stimulates one enzyme and that enzyme is specific for the
inhibition of one muscle protein, it has no other known effects
in the body. Because it is natural, coming from sea vegetables,
it is the ultimate solution for vegetarians and principled
people who want to grow naturally.
