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

• Plant Phytoandrogen
• Increase in strength
• Increase in endurance
• Increase in muscle hardness

  Blackstone Labs has done it again with its re-launch of Halo Elite, which is the first plant androgen (phytoandrogen) ever developed and sold in ethical doses. Phytoandrogens are substances produced in plants which have effects similar to testosterone, which regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics by binding to androgen receptors. Blackstone Labs has found such an androgen in the plant Eucommia ulmoides which causes skeletal muscle development, bone density improvement, and increases in sex drive. Plants containing compounds such as the isoflavonoids, with female hormone-like effects that bind to human estrogen receptors, have been known for decades. Eucommia ulmoides is the first to have corresponding male hormone-like effects that interact with the human androgen receptor. Blackstone Labs’ Halo Elite that contains a proprietary 100:1 extract (Andro 100) from the tree bark of Eucommia ulmoides and possesses bimodal phytoandrogenic and hormone potentiating effects by other lipidic components.

Eucommia Ulmoides causes skeletal muscle development, bone density improvement, and increases in sex drive.  

Directions

As a dietary supplement, take three (3) tablets 30-60 minutes prior to training. On non training days, take three (3) tablets after lunch. Do not exceed 3 tablets daily.

LAXOBULK HIGHLIGHTS

• Increases Muscle Size and Strength
• Improves Protein Synthesis
• Muscle Hardening Effects
• Controls Cortisol
• Boosts IGF-1 and IGF-2
• Reduces Aromatase

• Laxobulk™ (Smilax siebolii (rhizome) Extract) contains a powerful phytosteroid (Laxogenin) that enhances muscle protein synthesis, limits muscle breakdown, reduces cortisol, and support faster recovery.
• Apisterone™ (Apigenin) is non-hormonal anabolic phytochemical noted to increase protein synthesis, boost IGF-1 and IGF-2, enhance muscle growth, regulate cortisol, and control estrogen-promoting enzymes aromatase and 17β-HSD.
• DecaSorb Technology™ is a 2 stage absorption enhancing complex used to increase absorption and bioavailability of compounds that are normally poorly absorbed. Decasorb Tech opens spaces in bicellular and tricellular tight junctions, increasing paracellular permeability, thus allowing for enhanced intestinal permeation. It simultaneously inhibits P-glycoprotein and CYP3A4 enzymes thereby increasing bio availability of co-administered compounds.

Reduce Muscle Breakdown

HMB (ß-Hydroxy ß-Methylbutyrate) is known as the anti-catabolic weapon among athletes and bodybuilders. Regular consumption of HMB helps promote more muscle growth by reducing muscle protein breakdown.

Promote Muscle Tissue Repair

The harder and more intense you train, the greater the benefits will be. HMB helps protect muscles during training, supports muscle tissue repair and assists in the prevention of overtraining.

Increase Muscle Gains

HMB 1000 contains 1000 mg of active ß-Hydroxy ß-Methylbutyrate per serving. It should be at the basis of any athlete’s muscle-building and recovery plan. If you push yourself in the gym 3-4 times or more per week, you should absolutely take HMB to help increase your muscle gains.
