The quality and quantity of muscle that each of us possess is essentially controlled by protein turnover; a remodeling process that involves the continuous synthesis (anabolism) and breakdown (catabolism) of muscle protein. A gain in muscle mass can only occur via a reduction in the rate at which protein is broken down or an increase in the rate of protein synthesis. However, intense exercise causes a dramatic increase in protein turnover; both synthesis and breakdown accelerate at equal rates. The result is a negative protein balance and zero muscle gains from training. Myo-D's unique formulation is shown in research to reduce muscle breakdown and stimulate an increase in protein synthesis. Myo-D promotes muscle gains during intense training by enhancing not one, but the two key processes that are essential to gaining muscle mass.

Reduce muscle breakdown!

Myo-D contains a unique 5:1 ratio of EPA:DHA which means a much more potent dose of bioactive EPA than any other product on the market. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is the naturally occurring compound shown in research to block excessive muscle breakdown by reducing the activity of the major biochemical pathway that results in the destruction of muscle protein and loss of muscle mass. In clinical studies, EPA is shown to work at the molecular level and block muscle protein catabolism by reducing the activity of the ATP-ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway, the major pathway of protein catabolism in muscle.

The capacity of EPA to block excessive muscle protein breakdown is powerful; it's anti-catabolic effects are shown to be even more potent than IGF-1. If you're dieting to shed body fat, Myo-D could be you’re best ally. Regular use will help you keep your hard earned muscle during dieting and contest preparation.

Stimulate muscle protein synthesis!

A high stimulation of muscle protein synthesis is essential to gaining muscle mass, but it also underlines rapid recovery. Myo-D also contains a precision blend of the most potent amino acids shown in research to activate protein synthesis within muscle. Therefore, every serving of Myo-D helps to enhance recovery and gains in muscle mass gains via two vital processes. Firstly, Myo-D's ultra-high concentration of bioactive EPA blocks excessive protein breakdown. Secondly, Myo-D provides a high dose of the amino acids that directly activate muscle protein synthesis.

In research, the formulation within Myo-D is shown to promote a greater anabolic effect than regular EPA alone or EPA combined with protein.10 Myo-D is scientifically formulated to reduce muscle breakdown and stimulate an increase in protein synthesis. Therefore, Myo-D could be the most powerful, non-prescription bodybuilding supplement available.

Improve insulin metabolism, enhance fat loss!

The cornerstone of building a lean, healthy, physique is efficient insulin metabolism. Insulin is the hormone essential to nutrient transport into cells. Therefore, a dietary compound that can improve insulin metabolism offers a huge advantage for anyone attempting to shed fat or build a lean physique. The high dose of EPA in Myo-D is shown to promote an insulin-sensitizing effect in tissue, even in healthy people. That means more calories are directed towards lean tissue for recovery and growth while less calories are stores as body fat.

EPA is also known to enhance fat metabolism during exercise. Regular supplementation with EPA appears to increase fat utilization during exercise. Therefore, Myo-D's 5:1 ratio of EPA provides an ultra-high dose that promotes efficient insulin metabolism and greater fat utilization during exercise. Myo-D promotes a high rate of muscle anabolism by minimizing protein breakdown and stimulating protein synthesis. Regular use of Myo-D will also help improve insulin metabolism and promote better fat loss during exercise training. Clearly, no other dietary supplement is shown in research to provide bodybuilders with so many important advantages that help build a lean, muscular physique.
