Ingredients explained - SUBSTANCE OVER HYPE

5 Grams of Whey Protein HYDROLYSATE(WPH)

IntrAbolic uses a whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) that has undergone a high degree of hydrolysis (over 30%) which supplies a minimum of 65% low-molecular weight, di- and tripeptides. Unlike standard intact proteins and long chain peptides, di-and tripeptides do not have to undergo the typical slow digestive process. Their unique properties also allow them to utilize in our bodies highly efficient peptide transport system, located in our small intestines. Unlike regular amino acids derived from intact proteins which are slow to enter the bloodstream, di-and tripeptide are rapidly absorbed, causing a tremendous spike in extracellular amino acids. Research has shown, it is extracellular amino acid concentrations that stimulate and signal our bodies to increase protein synthesis and maximize the anabolic response. Rapid and efficient absorption also makes these peptides ideal for use during your workout as they will not cause bloating or stomach discomfort like other intact proteins.*

5 Grams of Branch Chain Amino-Acids(BCAAs) 2:1:1 Ratio

Another highly efficient and rapid way to get amino acids into the blood (second only to di-and tripeptides) is through ingestion of free-form branch chain amino-acids (ffBCAAs). Combining di-and tripeptides with ffBCAAs creates a powerful one-two punch in maximally spiking amino-acids concentrations in the blood. The beauty of combining di-and tripeptides with ffBCAA’s is that both use different intestinal transporters to carry them into the blood, maximizing absorption speed with very little redundancy. Current research shows that di-and tripeptides may actually enhance the ffAA’s transporters, further increasing the rate of absorption. We follow the research supported ratio of 2:1:1 of leucine, isoleucine and valine. Research shows, between 2-3g of leucine per sitting may be the optimal dosing to maximize protein synthesis. One serving of IntrAbolic contains approximately 3g of leucine coming from the 2.5g free form and the rest coming from the naturally occurring leucine in the WPH. One to two servings of IntrAbolic, has you 100% covered and hitting the maximum needed amino-acids during one’s workout.*

401mg of Electrolytes and Coconut Powder

The importance of replacing the electrolytes: sodium, potassium and chloride should not be overlooked since, during exercise, we are losing electrolytes at an accelerated rate. Just as important, is their ability to assist in the absorption of fluid and carbohydrate uptake in the gut. The minerals calcium and magnesium are included as they are needed for muscular contraction and muscular growth. When magnesium levels are low during exercise, research has shown fatigue increases. Coconut powder is an additional source of electrolytes.*

Background & Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Intrabolic?

IntrAbolic pioneered and revolutionized the intra-workout peptide, free form amino-acid, electrolyte category back in 2007. The science and concept is simple, ingest quick digesting peptides and free form amino-acids during one’s workout and you prime your body to fight the catabolic (muscle breakdown) effects of exercise, boost recovery and decrease muscle soreness.*

What makes taking nutrients in this intra-workout time frame so beneficial?

Exercise in itself causes our body’s to increase blood flow to working muscles up to five times increasing amino acid delivery to skeletal muscle over six times. At the same time, cellular sensitivity is increased, enabling our muscles to increase the rate of the absorption of substrates and fuel. When high concentrations of amino-acids are present in the blood stream DURING exercise, the benefits are compounded, due to the large increase in blood flow and nutrient delivery to your muscles.*

What makes IntrAbolic the most effective formula in the intra-workout category and how is it different?

IntrAbolic utilizes a whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) exclusively found ONLY in IntrAbolic. Our custom WPH has undergone a high degree of hydrolysis, which breakdown large proteins into smaller fragments, called peptides. Our custom WPH supplies a minimum of 65% of its peptides, in the shortest and most rapidly absorbed form, which are the low-molecular weight, di-and tripeptides. Our bodies contain transporters in our guts called PEPT1 which specifically transport di-and tripeptides. Due to the fact that di-and triptides do not have to undergo the same slow digestive process as regular protein, they can bypass the disadvantages that intact proteins possess. In addition to the most advanced WPH used, IntrAbolic is even further boosted, with extra free-form branch chain amino-acids(BCAAs), coconut powder and electrolytes, with their dosing complying with the research.*

What’s the difference between IntrAbolic and a simple branch chain amino-acid(BCAA) supplement?

Our bodies need ALL the NINE essential amino-acids (EAAs) to build muscle, so don’t settle for old school, incomplete products that only supply you with the THREE Branch chain amino-acids(BCAAs). While the BCAAs are very important EAAs, our bodies require the other SIX EAAs to build muscle. The BCAAs can’t do it alone without the other six EAAS. IntrAbolic provides ALL the NINE EAAs coming from our hydrolyzed whey protein and is boosted with extra BCAAs coming from both the hydrolyzed whey protein and free-form BCAAs. In addition, IntrAbolic, gives you 10 GRAMS of amino- acids per serving, along with coconut powder and electrolytes.*
