MethoxyPro™
The Protein Breakthrough of the New Millenium
With a literal flood of new protein powders hitting the market every year, why does Methoxy-Pro stand alone as perhaps the greatest breakthrough in the history of bodybuilding supplements?
It seems every time you turn around there's a new protein popping up or some new twist to an existing product. Every company claims to have the next best protein source ever developed. Well it looks like the researchers at Cytodyne Technologies have actually come up with the first "true" protein breakthrough of the new millenium. Introducing Methoxy-Pro an all new highly advanced "muscle-synthesizing" protein formula that's so powerful its guaranteed to help you pack on up to 10 pounds of rock-hard mass in just 30 days!
And Cytodyne is so sure this new super anabolic protein formula will give you the results you've been looking for, its backed up with an unprecedented iron-clad guarantee for dramatic results in four weeks or your money back! Now that's confidence!
Methoxy-Pro is being called "the most powerful muscle building protein formula ever created" by top competitive bodybuilders and athletes. What makes this protein such a muscle building powerhouse? To answer that question, we'll tell you about the revolutionary anabolic/anti-catabolic features that only MethoxyPro offers.
Methoxy-Pro is supercharged with mega-potent levels of two of the world's most powerful legal anabolic compounds. These two compounds are then combined with the most bio-available protein powder in existence. As most athletes know, it's the combination of "bioavailable protein and anabolic compounds" that really ignites rapid muscle growth (taking one without the other is kind of like taking a bath without soap).
First we'll look at the two anabolic compounds and why they are so critical for rapid muscle growth. The first compound is 7-Isopropoxyisoflavone or Ipriflavone. This compound has been on the market for a short period of time and the athletes using it are reporting excellent results in lean body mass (muscle). The Hungarian pharmaceutical company Chinoin, the world's leading company in flavonoid research and knowledge, developed Ipriflavone in the early 1970's. Chinoin was looking for nutrient partitioning agents that would help shuttle vital nutrients away from adipose (fat) tissue and toward proteinaceous (muscle) tissue. What they discovered was that Ipriflavone did all this and more. Here are the most interesting points of information from the original patent:
- First, the patent talked about anabolic and weight-gain promoting compositions, the most potent of them being Ipriflavone. The studies were done by Chinoin's researchers and not published in journals due to the proprietary nature of the results, but it takes a lot more scientific proof to get a U.S. patent than it does to get published in a journal.
- Most studies were conducted on animals in the beginning. The most dramatic result was increased nitrogen retention, regardless of the species involved in the study. This is one of the main actions of anabolic steroids, increased nitrogen retention. And to top off this extraordinary finding, the researchers found no estrogenic effects, actually there were no negative effects at all on endocrine tissue. No matter what type of animal was used (mice, rat, chickens, etc.), what age they were, or the dose given, there where no changes to the endocrine system or tissue. The animals just got more muscular!(much more muscular!) Furthermore, Ipriflavone had no negative effects on testosterone production, shrinking of the testicles, or aromatization, all of which are possible side effects of anabolic steroid use. To verify these findings, the researchers dissected many of the animals and found the levator ani muscle, the chief muscle of the pelvic diaphragm went up in weight while the seminal vesicles remained the same. If the seminal vesicles increased in weight, Ipriflavone would have had androgenic effects, but these results clearly concluded none whatsoever.
- Ipriflavone, like steroids, was found to have very strong cortisol-suppressing effects. The researcher found that identical doses of anabolic steroids did not have stronger effects on cortisol suppression than Ipriflavone. The studies showed that all animals, regardless of the species, gained incredible amounts of lean body mass! The animals used in the studies were calves, cattle, pigs, poultry, rabbits, and guinea pigs. At a dosage of 2 grams per 100 kg (220 lbs.) of ipriflavone fortified feed, the lean body mass increases ranged from 7% to 20%. Just think if a 200 lb. bodybuilder put on 10% lean body mass, that's 20 pounds of muscle! The periods of time for the studies ranged from 1 to 4 months and the animals given Ipriflavone didn't receive more food. This is important because the researchers concluded that Ipriflavone allows for less food to be taken in without effecting mass gains.
- In a forced swimming to exhaustion test, animals were weighed down with an additional 3 grams per 100 grams of bodyweight. All the calories were the same for the experimental and control groups, but over a 45 day period, the Ipriflavone treated animals were able to swim a full 33 minutes longer than the untreated animals. Remember, these tests were conducted to exhaustion, once you stop swimming you sink, and unless someone rescues you, you die, and therefore they conclusively document the remarkable ergogenic effects of this powerful compound.
- In another study, researchers checked for Ipriflavone's effect on calcium and phosphate retention which are indicators of anabolic activity. The subjects used in this study were given 20 mg per kilogram of bodyweight and their retention was significantly increased. This finding is one of the main reasons Ipriflavone is now used in many countries as an osteoporosis drug.
- In human studies with wasting patients, Ipriflavone increased lean body weight between 2 to 3 kg (4.4 to 6.6 lb.) in just a few weeks! These studies documented Ipriflavone's extraordinary anabolic effects in humans. And the animals studies confirmed the safety of the compound. Mega-potent doses of up to 4000 mg per kilogram were given to animal and there were absolutely no negative side effects. They all kept gaining massive amounts of lean muscle!
- These findings made the researchers suspect the cause of all this muscle growth was the dramatic increase in nitrogen retention. Finally they tested animals and on the 20th to 30th day of the study, the nitrogen excretion was significantly lowered, thereby confirming this powerful and immensely critical anabolic property of Ipriflavone. As all athletes know, positive nitrogen balance is "the key" to dramatically increased muscle growth.
The second super anabolic compound is even more impressive than the first. This one is 5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone or Methoxyisoflavone. Developed by the same company, Methoxy is quite possibly the most powerful legal anabolic compound ever created- period! Once again, the studies were not published, but the government was obviously quite impressed with the data to justify issuing a patent. The patents filed in the U.S. and Europe in the late 1970's were for its use as an "anabolically effective compound for use as a pharmaceutical or feed additive". Here are some of the findings from the patent of this super-potent anabolic compound:
- In the same rat levator ani test used with anabolic steroids to find their anabolic to androgenic ratio, the researchers found that Methoxy was extremely anabolic, even more so than Ipriflavone, while showing absolutely no androgenic effects.
- In animal studies, no matter what the species, large amounts of lean body mass were gained in 30 days and they were accompanied by an increase in vitality. All this without androgenic effects or endocrine tissue alteration. What this means is that not only can you significantly increase muscle size, but you'll feel incredible!
- Once again, like Ipriflavone, in human studies, incredible amounts of lean body mass were achieved in wasting patients taking Methoxy. These patients, who have extremely high cortisol levels, showed a marked reduction in cortisol while calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen retention were all significantly increased. All this adds up to more muscle.
- Researchers concluded from their studies that identical doses of anabolic steroids do not exert anabolic effects stronger than those of this compound! Now that's a powerful statement!
In addition to this research data, world class athletes who have been lucky enough to get their hands on this super anabolic compound have reported increased recovery times and strength gains that correlate to the increased muscle mass.
And the best part is that the powerful protein synthesizing and nitrogen retaining effects of these two compounds are believed to work through completely different pathways, therefore making them working synergistically with each other for even greater gains than could be achieved individually
The final part of this bodybuilding breakthrough is the protein itself. Cytodyne uses only the highest quality, most bio-available whey protein powder in existence. Cross flow micro/ultra filtration is the process used in making the whey protein with the highest amounts of critical micro-fractions and growth factors and keeping the protein more undenatured than any other method of processing. Most other proteins are "heat processed" which denatures the protein and cross-links the amino acids, destroying critical micro-fractions necessary for muscle growth. Because CFM processing is so precise, you'll get the highest levels of branched chain amino acids, glycomacropeptides, and all the other growth factors that make whey protein the most anabolic protein known
But Cytodyne's researchers weren't satisfied with having a protein that was just better, they wanted a protein that was unequalled and unparalleled by any product ever offered. Simply stated, they wanted to make the best, most anabolic protein money could buy- so that athletes would be guaranteed to experience a noticeable increase in lean muscle mass. For this reason, the researchers added exact levels of critical muscle-building amino acids to enhance the amino acid profile to the most perfect level possible for anabolism. Take a look at these exciting additions:
- Glutamine peptides are added to help with nitrogen retention, protein synthesis, increased recovery times, as well as all the other positive effects glutamine has on the body. Once glutamine is depleted, it is virtually the last nutrient to be restored to pre-stress levels. This is extremely important because many experts feel the amount of glutamine in muscle is the single most important factor influencing the rates of protein building and breakdown. The peptide form of glutamine is used because of its superior absorption. Glutamine is also a potent cell volumizer like creatine but not quite as dramatic. By increasing the water inside of muscle cells, glutamine increases protein synthesis. Another often overlooked reason to use additional glutamine is that it will actually enhance the biological value of the rest of the protein in your diet. This is accomplished by reducing the use of other amino acids in these proteins to make glutamine. Then the other aminos are utilized in the anabolic processes in the muscles.
- Taurine is the second most abundant amino acid in muscle, behind only glutamine. Taurine has potent muscle cell volumizing effects as well as powerful insulin-mimicking capabilities. Both of these actions can help to enhance protein synthesis and taurine has been shown to stimulate glucose uptake by over 50% the capacity of insulin. Taurine is also a powerful anti-catabolic amino. It has been shown in studies to reduce muscle breakdown by reducing the highly catabolic chemical 3-methyhistidine by 20%.
- BCAA have been added to saturate the muscles with one of the most important factors for muscle growth. Whey proteins are already high in BCAA's, but when training at high intensity, it is very hard to achieve optimal levels. BCAA's have been proven in numerous studies to support protein synthesis, prevent muscle breakdown, speed recovery, and even can be used for fuel when glycogen stores have been depleted.
- L-Glycine is often overlooked as an important amino acid because it can be formed in the body from choline in the liver or from threonine and serine. The truth is that glycine is one of the few amino acids that helps to spare glucose for glycogen storage and energy. It is necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin, the part of blood which is used for oxygen uptake and release. Glycine is also utilized in the processing of RNA and DNA, helps in healing wounds (when you workout you actually wound your muscles), helps to utilize and clear fats in the blood, and can even stimulate the release of growth hormone. As you can see, glycine is used in a number of essential processes, especially for athletes, and should probably be considered conditionally essential.
- L-Arginine has been used for years for its ability to increase the release of growth hormone. This is very important for the athlete looking to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat. But most importantly, scientific studies indicate that arginine can also significantly increase nitrogen retention, and as you know, nitrogen retention is a key to muscle growth.
- L-Histidine is called a conditionally essential or semi-essential amino acid. What are the conditions when histidine is needed? It's essential for periods of growth or whenever there is need for tissue formation or repair! Now that sounds like something every bodybuilder needs. Histidine is also involved in blood cell production, zinc absorption and transport into tissues, insulin sensitivity, prostaglandin synthesis, immune function, and myelin, the sheath protecting the nerves.
- L-Methionine is a sulfur amino acid and whey proteins have lower level of these types of aminos. Sulfur-rich proteins have been shown to speed recovery of fatigued muscles from exercise and exertion. Methionine has also been found to accumulate in skeletal muscles and is used as an indicator of nitrogen retention (the more methionine in the muscle cells, the higher the nitrogen retention).
- L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which is converted into l-tyrosine and then converted into different neurotransmitters and hormones such as adrenaline, norepinephrine, dopamine and thyroid hormones. It is one of the amino acids whose levels are low in whey proteins. It has been shown to enhance alertness, memory, and even control chronic pain.
- L-Tyrosine is also converted into many different neurotransmitters and hormones (see l-phenylalanine). It is the primary precursor to CCK (an appetite suppressing hormone) and is a precursor to important stimulants to the metabolism (thermogenisis) and nervous system. It has been shown to have minor GH stimulation properties, is converted to make thyroid hormones, and enhances alertness and memory.
To complete this revolutionary new formula, the researchers fortified it with a precision blend of key vitamins and mineral that are involved in protein metabolism to make sure the protein is absorbed and utilized to its full capacity. This rounded out Methoxy-Pro and put it light years ahead of any other protein on the planet!
With this extensive breakdown of all the key points of Methoxy-Pro, it becomes clear why this all new "highly-anabolic" protein is quickly becoming the #1 choice among top level bodybuilders and world-class athletes.
The synergy of these two clinically-proven anabolics combined with this super enhanced, highly bio-available protein makes Methoxy-Pro the most advanced muscle-building product of its kind ever created!
Use Methoxy-Pro, and experience lean mass growth like you never thought possible- Guaranteed!
