An abundant intracellular amino acid in skeletal muscle and similar to Creatine, it draws water in muscle cells and acts as a cell volumizer. This in turn draws additional nutrients for recovery and growth, increasing cell volume and enhancing muscle fullness. And like Creatine, Taurine is not present in whey protein, whereas all other essential and nonessential amino acids are. With intense exercise comes changes in electrolyte concentration both inside and outside of the cell, i.e. loss of muscle K+ and gain of Na+, Cl- and Ca2+. Detrimental changes in osmolarity are a consequence of membrane excitability driven by ion imbalance and cells combat this by manipulating organic osmolytes such as Taurine. Taurine regulates water and mineral salts in the blood. It maintains movement of potassium, magnesium and sodium across the cell membranes and regulates ion balance between cells. Due to its ability to regulate electrolytes, it may play a role in preventing muscle cramping. Taurine + Creatine: The PERFECT Cell Volumizers. It also plays a role in muscle contraction, as it has been shown to increase the rate at which the sarcoplasmic reticulum accumulates Ca2+ in both type I and type II muscle fibers. Thus, it enhances the ability of the muscles to generate force by increasing the uptake and release of calcium ions. Muscle contraction leads to an increase in nitric oxide synthase and/or nitric oxide (NO). Increases in NO have been shown to enhance glucose uptake in skeletal muscles which may enhance exercise intensity and post-exercise recovery and plays a role in Nitric Oxide production (NO gas present during muscle contraction and blood vessel dilation) and therefore may enhance the workout session and lead to a more rigorous workout. ALLMAX Essentials Taurine is a pure, free flowing, flavorless, unsweetened white crystalline powder that mixes easily, allowing you to add it to anything you like. Similar to Glutamine, it can also be considered a conditionally essential amino acid during times of intense physical training when the body may require additional Taurine due to increased physical demand.

4000mg L-Leucine Tablets 160 Tablets | 160g | 40 Servings L-Leucine is an essential amino acid meaning it cannot be synthesised by the human body and therefore, must be consumed through our dietary food intake or in supplement form. L-Leucine is the primary and most abundant out of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). This is commonly found in high amounts in many animal-based foods such as lean meats, poultry and fish. L-Leucine tablets are ideal for anyone taking part in intense physical activity. These can be taken either before or after a workout.  

• Essential amino acid
• Primary branched chain amino acid
• Ideal for pre & post workout
• Stacks with BCAA Amino-Hydrate & EAA Amino Fuel

  Serving Size: 4 Tablets - Serving Per Container: 40 L-Leucine 4000 mg (4 g) Per Serving

Myo-Stack is perfect for those who want to:

• • Build muscle and/or enhance athletic performance.
  • Complement his or her current athletic supplement stack.
  • Promote muscle growth while avoiding androgen supplements (e.g. women).

Myo-Stack enhances lean mass gains, limits protein breakdown, and accelerates recovery. Utilizing “Ajuga Turkestanica”, Myo-Stack is a support product that can be used on it’s own, but achieves even greater results when paired with other Blackstone Labs products. Anabolic, anti-catabolic, anti-proteolytic, protein-sparing… these are terms that describe the state of protein affairs in muscle. The bodybuilding community likes to define anabolic compounds as those which increase amino acid shuttling into muscle and increase protein synthesis. Likewise, anti-catabolic, or antiproteolytic (the more specifically correct term) compounds are defined as those which decrease amino acid shuttling out of muscle (also called protein-sparing). Irrespective of whether amino acids are being gained within muscle due to an increase in the influx of amino acids and enhanced protein synthesis, or due to the conservation of amino acids already within muscle, or both, the resulting intramuscular environment is anabolic. This is a really good thing for bodybuilders. Although most bodybuilding supplements really don’t do much, a few bodybuilding supplements may actually help increase the uptake of amino acids into muscle, and a few other supplements may actually help to conserve amino acids already within muscle. Even better yet, there are a very few supplements that contain formulations of ingredients that do both — they are anabolic and anti-proteolytic, which means even more muscle protein. One of those very few supplements is Myo-Stack — a Blackstone Labs supplement that contains a “cutting-edge” anabolic and anti-proteolytic compound. This product is all about protein…getting it, saving it, and using it to build rock-hard muscle. The active compounds in Myo-Stack signal muscles to grab more amino acids from the bloodstream and then use them to create muscle protein at a faster rate through increased protein synthesis. The compounds in Myo-Stack also tell muscles to hang on to amino acids already within muscle by decreasing muscle-wasting activities within the muscle, creating a protein-sparing metabolism, and thus maintaining an anabolic state during times when normal protein breakdown occurs. In essence, Myo-Stack helps keep hard-earned muscle intact.
