Simply stated, MPL Gets Results! Enhanced Absorption To promote greater absorption of branched chain amino acids we add AstraGin, which is composed of two highly purified extracts from Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus . AstraGin is a patented, 100% natural compound that supports the gut environment and increases the absorption of a wide range of nutrients, including BCAAs. Faster Recovery & Repair InstAminos, a customized blend of three essential amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine), limit muscle breakdown and improve the muscle’s ability to repair itself after exercise, safely reducing the time between workouts. Additionally, Aquamin Soluble, a natural mineral source derived from calcareous marine algae, provides a highly bioavailable source of 72 minerals to further speed recovery. Increased Lean Muscle Growth The main active ingredient in vBCAA, InstAminos, helps stimulate mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). mTOR controls the anabolic and catabolic signaling of skeletal muscle mass. When mTOR is activated, it triggers muscle hypertrophy (an increase in muscle size) through an increase in protein synthesis (how your body turns protein into muscle tissue). Basically when mTOR is on, it helps you build muscle. Read more *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
