Repaid Repair for Intense Muscle Building
Rapid Repair™ is a combination of the amino acid L-Glutamine and the Branched
Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) L-Leucine, LIsoleucine and L-Valine.
Glutamine is both the most abundant free form amino acid in skeletal muscle and the most depleted amino acid during times of stress. Stress exerts a catabolic effect which can cause a loss in glutamine. This is thought to be one of the ways in which the biochemical mechanisms of stress decrease lean muscle.
Leucine is supplied in larger amounts than the other two BCAAs because it is the only amino acid that can be substituted for glucose and is also a major metabolic regulator. Like fatty acids, Leucine is an alternative source of energy for the body. BCAAs, especially Leucine, stimulate protein synthesis directly in muscle tissue. Leucine may also stimulate insulin release, which not only stimulates protein synthesis (process by which cells build protein and thus muscle) but also inhibits protein breakdown.
This formula and the ratio of BCAAs contained in Rapid Repair™ show incredible potential for repair and recovery of muscle due to the fact that it imitates the natural mechanisms within the body. One third of the amino acids in muscle consist of the three BCAAs in this formula. Their continual supply in the ratio presented is critical to maintenance and growth of muscular size and strength.
During endurance training and body building, Leucine in the muscle is consumed by the body at a very high rate (known as the glucose-Alanine cycle). Nearly 30% of the muscle’s energy comes from this source. Moderate exercise can destroy up to 90 percent of the ingested Leucine and even more is degraded as the intensity of exercise increases.
Due to the fact that stress causes a decrease in the body’s supply of amino acids (mainly, that of glutamine), supplying extra glutamine prior to and after workouts can drastically reduce the effects the stresses caused by intense exercise and may lead to greater muscle gains and higher performance levels.
Your dosage should be one (1) tablet for every 30 pounds of lean body mass with eight (8) ounces of water, split before and after exercise.
This product should be taken 30 minutes pre-workout and no longer than 30 minutes post workout.
