As a serious athlete you know just how much intense weight
training can break down muscle tissue. This is evidenced through
the muscle soreness which is felt in the days following your
grueling workouts. So if heavy training is what's needed to
stimulate the muscle growth yet at the same time causes muscle
breakdown and catabolism, what's the secret in an elite
athletes' ability to maintain positive nitrogen status through
their intense workouts? It's really no secret at scientists have
known of the powerful anabolic effects of Branch Chain Amino
Acids for many years. Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) actually
have the capability to independently stimulate protein syntheses
within the muscles and create an anabolic environment during
intense training. They also can tremendously reduce the level of
soreness in the days following your workouts therefore
dramatically speeding your recovery, which of course is of the
utmost importance to the drug-free athlete.
So how do BCAA's
work? During intense weight training the body is normally in a
highly catabolic condition. At this time glycogen stores are
being rapidly depleted and the liver in turn must synthesize
glucose by a conversion of L-Alanine. Alanine along with
Glutamine make up over half of the amino acid content released
from muscles during exercise. Glutamine is released from the
muscles not only from free form amino acid stores but also
through deamination of the Branch Chain Amino Acids within the
muscles themselves. The release of Glutamine is generally
recognized as the signal to the body to stop protein syntheses
in the muscles, especially during times of stress. Providing
Glutamine and the Branch Chain Amino Acids, especially during
those times of stress may profoundly affect this signal and
allow protein synthesis to continue onward. Following intense
weight training the proper recovery process requires an
abundance of the specific amino acids which are affected the
most by training, ie: the Glutamine and Branch Chain Amino
Acids.
ICETM contains the most scientifically advanced blend
of Glutamine and Branch Chain Amino Acids available anywhere.
Not only are the three Branch Chain Amino Acids (L-Leucine,
L-Valine, & L-Isoleucine) included in precision amounts, but 2
more amino acids are in place to supercharge the formula. Namely
L-Proline (which is superb for repair and recovery at the
cellular level), and L-Histidine (which acts as a potent
vasodilator within the muscle itself by opening up a large
pathway for the branch chain amino acids to easily enter and get
down to business). Lastly, Vitamin B6 is included to
dramatically enhance absorption and in fact is an absolute must
for proper BCAA utilization. Without Vitamin B6 present, the
transport of the Branch Chain Amino Acids within the cellular
interior is severely inhibited, definitely not something the
serious weight training athlete needs.
ICETM truly is an
amazingly potent anabolic supplement, and above all comes with
the convenience of an easy to mix and drink, great tasting
beverage to allow for maximal utilization of the amino acid
blend during your workouts. Don't just take our word for it,
