It disappeared for
16 years.
In late 2007 Beverly re-introduced a top-quality essential amino acid (EAA) formula after having kept it off the market for 16 years. Nothing was wrong with it. Quite the contrary, everything about this formula was right.
The problem was that a key ingredient suddenly became unavailable. Could they continue selling the product without it? Beverly’s scientists answered this question with a resolute “No.” It was just too important, they felt, and its absence would make the formula incomplete. Besides being essential in the human diet, this ingredient is the exclusive precursor to a powerful neurotransmitter that affects everything from smooth muscle tone, blood flow, appetite, mood, sleep, the ability to cope with stress, and even endurance. In one study, researchers described it as having a “hormone-like ability” to promote protein synthesis1.
Beverly’s scientists felt so strongly about the importance of the above-mentioned ingredient to the effectiveness of their formula that they refused to sell it without it. Little did they know that it would be well over a decade before it became commercially available again. Only then would they agree to resume selling DENSITY™.
What are EAA? Essential amino acids (EAA) are so-named because your body cannot make them in adequate quantities to support proper functioning, if it can make any of them at all. For this reason, they must be supplied in the diet. Healthy adult humans require a total of 8 EAA. DENSITY™ is a complete formula in that it contains all EAA. Assess your "Anabolic Efficiency" Instructions: Answer the questions below with a "Yes" or "No". If you answer “Yes” to 2 or more questions, then you may suffer from low anabolic efficiency. Do you find that you lose muscle size and/or strength quickly if you eat less frequently than every 3 hours, or miss meals? 2. Do you find that you lose muscle size and/or strength quickly if you miss workouts? 3. Do you ever find yourself hungry specifically for protein? 4. If you reduce your protein intake, do your muscles appear less dense (i.e. softer)? 5. If you lift lighter weights and perform higher reps for a few workouts, do your muscles appear smaller or less dense? 6. Do you generally find it hard to gain lean muscle on your body? |
“Building, “shaping”, “toning”, “strengthening” –whatever type of changes you are trying to make to your body, your efforts are likely to be fraught with uncertainty. Did you perform enough sets or reps at the gym? Did you eat enough grams of protein? Will your last meal keep your muscles in an anabolic state long enough to last you until your next one? Are you gaining muscle size, shape and/or tone with each passing month? Or are you slowly losing all of these things?
Even when you eat a meal containing protein-rich foods –chicken, red meat, fish or egg whites, for instance—you may leave the table wondering if you got enough of each amino acid required to maximize muscle protein synthesis (anabolism) and minimize muscle protein breakdown (catabolism). Achieving both –simultaneously—is the key to building muscle mass and performance as quickly as possible.
In a world of anabolic and catabolic uncertainty, DENSITY™ can bring you real comfort. Because this formula is complete with all 8 of the amino acids required in the diet of healthy adults (i.e. essential amino acids [EAA]), it provides a protective “roof” of dual anabolism and anti-catabolism over your muscles every time you take it, among other benefits. By supplementing your diet with DENSITY™, no meal –or even the breaks between meals— can hold you back any longer from stimulating protein synthesis and reducing protein breakdown, the combined effect of which is to push your muscles in the direction of greater mass, density and overall performance. DENSITY™ gives your diet and training program that extra anabolic and anti-catabolic edge that so many other amino acid formulas have been unable to provide athletes with. How “anabolically” efficient are you?There isn’t a single individual for whom the amino acids in DENSITY™ aren’t essential. Of course, just because certain amino acids are essential, this doesn’t mean that every athlete will benefit to the same extent by supplementing his or her diet with more of them. To assess your potential to benefit from DENSITY™, answer the 6 questions that appear in the accompanying text box with a “Yes” or “No” answer.
If you answered “Yes” to 2 or more of the questions, then it’s highly likely you will see and feel substantial benefits upon supplementing your current diet and training program with DENSITY™. (You’ll be a “high responder”, if you will.) These questions assess your body’s ability to efficiently regulate the turnover (i.e. synthesis and breakdown) of tissue proteins (muscle protein, in particular), both in response to changes in your training and diet. As you might expect, everyone is different in terms of their “anabolic efficiency”. If you are a “hard gainer”, then you probably struggle with low anabolic efficiency. No worries. The less efficient your body is, the more likely you are to see and feel real physique and performance benefits from using DENSITY™ on a regular basis.
Even if you have high anabolic efficiency, certain things can bring it down. You can miss a meal. You can fail to get enough EAA in the proper proportions. You can over-train. You can under-train. You can eat a lot of protein for several days and then suddenly cut way back on your protein intake. If you reduce your calories in an effort to lose body weight or fat, then this, too, can severely impact your anabolic efficiency. In fact, it can send you into a state of runaway muscle catabolism. In every one of these cases, DENSITY™ can be used to enhance your anabolic efficiency within minutes of ingesting its easy-to-swallow tablets. The effects can last hours.
Conclusion
In 1991, a key ingredient with a “hormone-like ability” to promote protein synthesis became unavailable and Beverly stopped selling DENSITY™. In late 2007, the missing ingredient became available again. This allowed Beverly to resume selling what may be the most overlooked, underutilized and powerful essential amino acid (EAA) formula in the sports nutrition supplement marketplace.
