OVERVIEW

mTOR Ultra was designed to complete muscle protein synthesis (MPS) by appealing to all the criteria for new muscle production – 1. Signals muscle growth 2. Contains ALL 9 EAAs, 3. Contains arginine, 4. Maintains a positive nitrogen balance. Talk about a complete formula! Even outside of MPS, all the EAAs are ESSENTIAL, meaning you NEED to consume them from a dietary or supplementary source, making this a GREAT product for general health. 

Arginine-AKG

increases nitric oxide leading to better pumps and increased muscle protein synthesis (MPS). The AKG increases MPS, reduces ammonia and nitrogen load on the kidneys, and extends the anabolic window to help facilitate muscle building on several fronts. This addition increases blood flow without increasing blood pressure, driving more nutrients to the muscle. It is also used to treat kidney disease, liver problems, cataracts and even digestive issues. 

Glutamine

is considered conditionally essential for injury, illness and repair. It provides fuel for immune cells and plays a huge role in digestive health, improving the absorption of the product, and is quickly depleted during training. 

Essential amino acids

are aminos that NEED to be consumed through dietary or supplementary forms. Now you know the benefits of EAAs and AAKG to producing lean, quality muscle, so let’s take a look at some of the other health benefits of EAAs. 

L-Lysine 

is a building block of protein, helping with muscle growth and turnover. It is used to form carnitine which helps transport fat into the mitochondria for conversion to energy. Lysine has also been found to reduce anxiety and has an important role in immune function. It can also increase the absorption of zinc, which is required for healthy testosterone levels and immune function. 

L-Leucine

is the “main” BCAA in muscle tissue and is a huge player in producing muscle, signaling and stimulating new muscle growth and preventing muscle loss. Leucine signals mTOR which induces MPS.

L-Isoleucine

is an intermediate BCAA with less anabolic effect than leucine but more anabolic/anti-catabolic than valine. It increases the uptake and utilization of glucose in muscle tissue helping to aid performance. 

L-Methionine

A sulfur containing amino acid, methionine has many benefits including nourishing hair, skin and nails, detoxification, aiding in the absorption of other nutrients, excretion of heavy metals and breakdown of fats (particularly around the liver), increasing the production of lecithin in the liver and lowering cholesterol levels. Also important for the process of transmethylation for the synthesis of choline which can have cognitive benefits as well. 

L-Valine

The last of the three BCAAs, valine is essential to MPS though less significant than leucine or isoleucine. It assists in energy provisioning and helps build strength and muscle mass. 

L-Phenylalanine

is used to produce proteins in the body and produce signaling molecules. Phenylalanine has also been used to treat skin and mood disorders and may provide energy and elevate mood. 

L-Threonine

Best known for its role in the formation of connective tissue like collagen and elastin, threonine also helps regulate digestion, mood and muscle growth. It can also help with liver health by preventing fat accumulation around the organ. 

L-Histidine

Best known for its role in the formation of connective tissue like collagen and elastin, threonine also helps regulate digestion, mood and muscle growth. It can also help with liver health by preventing fat accumulation around the organ. 

L-Tryptophan

maintains a positive nitrogen balance and is required for MPS. It aids in the production of niacin, which helps maintain healthy cholesterol ratios, and is essential to the production of serotonin and melatonin, which can help improve mood and sleep quality. 

Maximize MPS

To maximize MPS, stack with any of our three anabolic pre-workouts – Havok-137, Havok Neuro or Rocket. All of these increase the anabolic signal and allow for better use of

mTOR Ultra.
