Muscle Growth - Arabol

ARABOL™ is a hardcore legal alternative for increasing lean muscle mass, is a powerful, next generation, ergogenic, anabolic supplement utilizing precise ratios of patented ingredients.†

COMPLEX 1: (Arachidonic Acid, 97% 3, 4-Divanillyltetrahydrofuran from Urtica Dioica, Icariin 40%)

Arachidonic Acid (AA): What is Arachidonic Acid and what does it do?

Arachidonic Acid (AA) is an essential acid considered to be a part of the Omega-6 group. It is stored in the muscle cell membranes and released when the muscles are stimulated from intense exercise or resistance training.

AA is responsible for sending signals of adaptive changes in the case of muscle damage or other types of stimuli. AA is clinically proven in independent, double-blind University studies with reports of increased muscle mass, acceleration of fast twitch muscle fiber growth, facilitation of rapid strength and power increases, boosts in muscular endurance and changes in body composition of competitive athletes and bodybuilders through resistance training. In fact, AA was awarded a U.S. Patent for Increasing Skeletal Muscle Mass in Humans! It acts as a core regulator of muscle protein synthesis, and is responsible for increasing cellular sensitivity to primary anabolic hormones such as testosterone, insulin, growth hormone, and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1).

Because of its central role in the process of muscle growth, AA is the single most effective anabolic nutrient available for supplementation, capable of supporting significantly faster and more profound increases in muscle size, strength, and lipolysis (fat loss). AA is a clinically proven safe and effective performanceenhancing supplement.† Placebo-controlled clinical trials published in 2006 demonstrated remarkable a 600% increase in peak muscle power, along with statistically strong trends of improvement bench press 1-rep max (44%), average muscle power (223%), muscle endurance (250%) when taken for 50 days by experienced weight training men. Source: Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. 3 (1)S1-S29, 2006.

The scientist responsible for bringing AA to the sports nutrition world, William Llewellyn, is a world-renowned foremost authority on anabolic substances and its effects on muscular performance. An accomplished research scientist, author, publisher, inventor, columnist, and company CEO in the field of sports nutrition and anabolic substances, Llewellyn has been featured in ESPN Magazine, Washington Post, Fox News Channel, ESPN Television, NPR News, ESPN Radio and other national and regional TV / Radio news programs.

In addition to writing the Anabolics Books, Llewellyn also writes a monthly column for Muscular Development, and has written numerous articles for other bodybuilding publications including Ironman Magazine, Exercise for Men Only, and Natural Muscle. During his fifteen years of anabolic research, Llewellyn has made several important scientific discoveries. His latest discovery of Arachidonic Acid has been patented for its anabolic properties and its "use as a method of increasing skeletal muscle mass."

Who can benefit from taking Arachidonic Acid?

Those that are weight training or would consider themselves as an athlete may benefit from supplementing with AA. As you exercise, your AA levels usually decrease as does the production of anabolic prostaglandins. AA is most commonly supplemented by bodybuilders, individuals that play a sport on a daily basis, frequent gym attendees, and other individuals that participate in activities where short, rapid bursts of performance are constantly required.

If you are an athlete or bodybuilder with a reduced level of AA, you’ll probably experience "training stagnation". This means you will see a decline in your muscle’s ability to stimulate muscle growth. †

What are Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's)?

There are three branched-chain amino acids (BCAA's); L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. All three are essential amino acids, meaning that they must come from the foods we eat because the body cannot synthesize them from other amino acids. BCAA's serve very important purposes in the body. First, high levels of BCAA's in blood help conserve stores of glutamine, a nonessential but major amino acid with regard to muscle growth. Second, BCAA's serve as a significant fuel source for skeletal muscle during periods of metabolic stress.

If you are exercising intensely, you are experiencing metabolic stress. When the body is under stress, BCAA's act directly on muscle cells and promote protein synthesis which is the goal of all fitness enthusiasts whose primary focus is to improve their physique. Third, BCAA's help prevent protein catabolism (muscle breakdown) by acting as a readily available fuel source for hard-working muscles during intense exercise.

Also, supplementing with BCAA's can help you to finish your long intense workouts because you may not fatigue as quickly. BCAA's should be a staple in everyone's supplement regimen. †

Why take BCAA's?

It is a known fact that intense workouts and exercise programs can break down muscle tissue. It is during this time that the body is an extremely catabolic (muscle wasting) state. But this type of intense training is necessary for optimal results when the goal is to increase lean muscle and decrease bodyfat. However, combating this problem is quite simple. It is a known fact that BCAA's possess powerful anticatabolic effects. BCAA's have the ability to increase protein synthesis during intense training and exercise and dramatically speed recovery following your workouts which is extremely important in order to achieve optimal results.†

What is BCAA GT-AKG?

VitaSport's BCAA GT-AKG™ is a powerful blend of Branched Chain Amino Acids as well as other muscle sparing and recovery compounds designed to work synergistically to maximize your workouts, dramatically improve muscle recovery time, reduce muscle wasting, preserve lean muscle tissue and increase protein synthesis.

In addition to L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine, we decided to take BCAA supplementation and muscle recovery to the next level by adding in our exclusive GT-AKG™ Complex.While most companies will use the less advanced L-Glutamine, our proprietary blend includes both Glutamine AKG and Taurine AKG, the two most abundant amino acids in skeletal muscle in the AKG form for superior uptake and absorption to further enhance muscle recovery. But we didn't stop there. BCAA GT-AKG™ also contains two additional anti-catabolic agents, Alpha-Ketoisocaproate and Phosphatidyl Serine which further increases the effectiveness of BCAA GT-AKG™.

Finally, we topped off this advanced formula with Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. Both Vitamin E and Vitamin C have a plethora of benefits including working on the cellular level to protect against and reverse oxidative stress, thus preventing excessive muscle damage and enhancing muscle recovery. Vitamin B6 will dramatically enhance absorption and is absolutely necessary for proper BCAA utilization. Without the addition of Vitamin B6, the transportation of the BCAA's at the cellular level is severely compromised. BCAA GT-AKG™, consisting of the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Branched Chain Amino Acids, provides your body with specific nutrients that are absolutely necessary to effectively maximize and sustain lean muscle tissue.The end result is a powerful anti-catabolic effect when used in conjunction with proper nutrition and a regular exercise program.†

NOTE: The added Glutamine AKG to this formula is not intended to replace the current use of GL6™ or your favorite glutamine supplement. The addition is intended only to enhance the benefits of BCAA GT-AKG.™ In addition to BCAA GT-AKG™, and for maximum effectiveness,we recommend that you continue to use GL6™ or your favorite glutamine supplement in addition to a high quality, sustained release protein blend throughout the day.†
