2:2:1 BCAAS THE PARADIGM SHIFT FROM HYPE TO HIGH TECH SCIENCE

It’s crazy! First, supplement companies whipped up a 2:1:1 BCAA ratio; then came 4:1:1; then came 8:1:1; then came 12:1:1 and pretty soon there was no other alternative except to call 911! This is when I decided to put an end to this unscientific nonsense. Enter the patent pending 2:2:1 BCAA ratio contained in the supplements Bang® Master Blaster™. The patent pending 2:2:1 BCAA ratio of Leucine/Isoleucine/Valine allows you to harness the potent insulin mimetic and intrinsic properties of L-Leucine while also benefiting from the ultra-potent insulin amplification properties of a higher L-Isoleucine content BCAA formula because insulin sensitivity is enhanced with L-Isoleucine! There are several things going on here that are important for muscle growth: Insulin is as useless as a kitten on counterfeit creatine when Leucine levels are low. Leucine causes the body to secrete insulin and is also highly anabolic in and of itself. Insulin sensitivity is enhanced with Isoleucine. The combination of leucine, isoleucine and insulin is a potent anabolic stimulus.
The science is pretty clear that the patented 2:2:1 BCAA ratio is powerful tool for maxing out mTOR for major muscle growth due to its kick ass ability to act intrinsically, stimulate insulin directly and make your body more sensitive to insulin!
Here’s how isoleucine works and why it’s important. GLUT4 is the primary transporter protein that regulates the uptake of glucose into muscles. Muscles store glucose as glycogen and burn it to produce energy during intense activity. Both Leucine-Isoleucine Peptide and L-isoleucine activate GLUT4 receptors shuttling carbohydrate into muscle cells providing muscles with an immediate fuel source for training. This also prevents glycogen levels in muscle cells from getting too low which is critical to make certain mTOR and protein synthesis is not disrupted and “turned off”. GLUT4 transports glucose into the muscle cell to stabilize cellular energy via ATP which flips on the mTOR ignition switch. L-Isoleucine does not directly activate mTOR but plays an integral role keeping mTOR output stoked and also prevents mTOR suppression!
The equal ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine sets of the synergism to promote and accelerate the important chemical cross talk between mTOR and GLUT4. All of VPX’s pre-, intra- and post-workout supplements contain the 2:2 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine. In fact, the Leucine-Isoleucine Peptide contained in FAST 5 and Amino Rush are specifically noted in research for its ability to stimulate GLUT4! Furthermore, GLUT4 empowers you maintain ultra-heightened sensitivity to insulin, thus, allowing you to use glucose more efficiently. This means you need less insulin to stay muscular. Because carbs and glucose are used more efficiently, less dietary carbs are required in your diet. Consequently, the magnificent two-fold benefit here is that ultra-heightened insulin sensitivity means you can keep carb intake relatively low while keeping mTOR and muscle protein synthesis stoked. Don’t miss a super critical point here – maintaining ultra-heightened sensitivity to insulin is a vital component to both building muscle and staying ripped and shredded. 67% of our entire population is insulin resistant and this is why they get fatter and fatter and lose more and more muscle. The take home message is that it takes both L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine and to a greater extent Leucine-Isoleucine Peptide to unleash the scientific stimulus required to build bulging muscles and to kick fats ass fast!™

Pre-Workout Nutrient Timing The amazing chain of events that occurs by triggering mTOR and GLUT4 while simultaneously suppressing myostatin is further intensified by the massive amount of blood flow in and out of muscle following intense training. This is why the quality and science behind your pre-workout, intra-workout and post-workout supplements are critical! Myostatin suppressing compounds together with mTOR and GLUT4 igniting nutrients must be must be running through your veins and muscles before, during and after your workout. These nutrient timing opportunities must be maximized to take advantage of the nearly unlimited muscle growth potential revolving around your workout.
