So What Are HSPs?
Let’s start with what Heat Shock Proteins are not: dietary proteins.
Most bodybuilders hear the word “protein” and visions of whey packets, tuna cans, and hard boiled eggs (whites only, please) instantly pop up. HSPs are not food.
In building new muscle, your body employs three types of proteins: dietary, structural and functional. HSPs are functional. It is the interaction between the three that get you bigger and stronger. The higher degree of interplay, the faster you get the results you want.
And it’s important that you see how they work together, and know what you can do to maximize their muscle-building effect.
1. Dietary Proteins – Building blocks of muscle: Your body breaks down dietary proteins into amino acids. After a complex chain of events (I lay them out below) they get reassembled into actual muscle protein.
2. Structural Proteins – Actual muscle: You’re very familiar with the structural proteins actin and myosin. They create your actual muscle fiber. You can easily “see” this type of structural proteins on your biceps! More actin and myosin mean more muscle fiber for you. The more muscle fiber you have, the bigger you look. The stronger you are. It’s that simple.
But there are other types of structural proteins that give shape, form and sturdiness to the entire architecture of your muscle cell.
HSPs play a major role in the quantity of all types of structural proteins your body makes.
NOTE: Up to 18% of your body is made up of proteins. (If only that was all structural protein!)
3. Functional Proteins – Muscle-building workforce: The name gives it away. These proteins serve a function not only in building new muscle, but in sustaining life itself. Some examples of these proteins are enzymes, cell-signaling proteins, and HSPs! Unlike their “sexy” structural counterparts, you cannot see them. But they keep that highly complex machine – called you – functioning at peak levels. Every micro second, functional proteins blast out millions of signals to your brain, heart, muscles.
MRI’S Revolutionary New Heat Shock Activation Technology
Heat Shock Protein (HSP) activation may be the biggest breakthrough in the history of training. HSPs “fold” proteins into “muscle-usable” form. They rapidly repair training-damaged muscle fiber and may help increase lean mass and strength in ways never before imagined.†‡
For decades, scientists have tried to activate heat shock proteins beyond what exercise alone produces. With no luck. MRI’s research and development team found a way to “shock” these HSPs into action. Here’s the best part. Tex-OE®, the patented compound in HSP Active™, is the only heat shock activator that the MRI scientists found that elevates HSPs by 200% and speeds their time-to-action by 1500%.
DIRECTIONS:
Take HSP Active three times a week, preferably on training days. For best results dose 1 1/2 to 2 hours prior to your workout.
Take 2 capsules if you weigh up to 200 lbs. Take 3 capsules if you weigh over 200lbs.
IMPORTANT:
Do not consume fiber containing food or beverages for two hours before and two hours after dosing. Fiber interferes with the absorption of Tex-OE®.
Due to individual preferences in timing of food intake, the following two dosing alternatives are offered:
1. Take at night at least 2 hours after your last meal.
OR
2. Take in the morning on an empty stomach and wait 2 hours before your first meal.
NOTE: HSP Active is a powerful formula that helps activate HSPs for up to 3 days.* For optimal results, take HSP Active only every other day.
