Lack of sleep isn’t the only thing tiring you out today.
Dear Friend:
“Anabolic Fatigue” isn’t a
condition you hear talked about very much. In fact, this may be the first time
you’ve heard it mentioned. Yet it may be responsible for your struggle to gain
muscle mass and strength and recover properly from your workouts for weeks,
months, or even years.
There are no freebies in
life. This includes the building of bigger and better-performing muscles. To
increase in size and strength, your muscle cells must synthesize more protein,
glycogen and other cellular components. They also need to take up more
electrolytes, nutrients and build bigger cell membranes. None of these anabolic
processes are “free”. All of them cost energy.
Protein synthesis is the
most important element of building muscle. And it’s highly energy-intensive,
like running up a steep hill. One out of every five calories that you consume
is used up by protein synthesis. Add to this glycogen synthesis, the transport
of electrolytes and nutrients, and other anabolic processes, and you are facing
a seriously steep anabolic energy bill…and the very real possibility of
suffering from anabolic fatigue.

In search of…
Beverly’s search for a
solution to anabolic fatigue began decades ago with glutamine, an amino acid
that is considered among the body’s most important energy precursors. In
particular, it is a source of “anabolic energy”: energy that can be used to
drive anabolic (bodybuilding) processes. Glutamine’s anabolic energy is so
great that it can stimulate muscle glycogen synthesis after exercise more than
750% more effectively than glucose polymer (carbohydrate) per gram consumed! Advanced
bodybuilders know how important glycogen is to building muscle. Think of how
flat, lethargic and lacking in vascularity your muscles get when they are low
in glycogen, as occurs when you eat too little carbohydrate (or not enough
glutamine). Scientists have even determined that low glycogen levels can
depress muscle protein synthesis, putting you at major risk of muscle atrophy.
Besides its proven ability
to stimulate glycogen synthesis, glutamine has also been found to stimulate protein
synthesis and even thermogenesis (calorie-burning) in healthy human subjects.
Glutamine’s anabolic energy is highly versatile. It has been called the most
versatile amino acid in existence.
As much anabolic energy as
glutamine possesses, however, “[it] can’t alleviate anabolic fatigue by
itself”, Beverly’s scientists observed. Its role as an energy precursor is
affected by the availability of other amino acids, some more than others. Thus,
they predicted that supplementing the diet with glutamine by itself wouldn’t be
the best plan of attack for a bodybuilding athlete to undertake. Yes, as great
as glutamine’s anabolic energy is, it can be even greater. It was at this point
that they began searching for other amino acids to partner with glutamine in an
effort to uncap its potential.

…a solution
Based on decades of
research,Beverly’s
scientists predicted that a perfect partnership could be had by combining
glutamine with branched-chain amino acids (BCAA: leucine, isoleucine and
valine). Repeated tests on Beverly’s own bodybuilding athletes confirmed this.
Increases in muscle size, hardness and vascularity were continually reported.
Test subjects felt that their overall energy levels remained more stable over
the day. Recovery was enhanced. Even hunger and well-being seemed to be
affected, making it easier to avoid overeating, lose body fat and remain lean
and shapely.
The clinically-proven
combination of glutamine and BCAA that Beverly’s scientists released to the
public in 2003 is known as GLUTAMINE SELECT. It continues to be a hit
sensation to this day and is regarded by elite athletes as the “red bull” of
bodybuilding amino acid formulas.
GLUTAMINE SELECT: Anabolic Energy, Uncapped.
What makes GLUTAMINE SELECT
so effective? So many things* [for details, click on this link
(to the Glutamine advertorial)], one of them being that glutamine and BCAA are involved
in one another’s metabolism. For instance, supplementing the diet with BCAA supports
glutamine levels and unlocks even more of its anabolic energy. And
supplementing the diet with glutamine supports BCAA levels and makes them even
more anabolic.
The uniquely energizing
effects of GLUTAMINE SELECT are as useful to building a masterpiece body as
effects of GLUTAMINE SELECT are as useful to building a masterpiece body as
they are hard to describe. Users report having the undeniable sensation that
anabolism is charging ahead at full speed. Maybe that’s why they refer to it as
the “red bull” of amino acid formulas.
