RECOVER-Amino Power (RAP): is a product of
cutting-edge research for advanced nutritional support. Recent
breakthroughs, and our relentless pursuit and diligent research,
have enabled us to combine all* of the Essential Amino
Acids (excepting L-Tryptophan) in their purest and free-form,
in perfect balanced proportions as a potent MATRIX. EAAs
cannot be produced by the body they must come from the food
consumed, therefore they are absolutely essential and vital for
life.
*(FDA continues
to enunciate its concern about the safety of dietary supplements
containing L-Tryptophan)
Each capsule of
RAP contains the eight EAAs (including the three BCAAs) in
their purest crystalline free-form, in a balanced unique
combination, plus the synergy of four potent amino acid compounds
as cofactors: Glutamine ?-Ketoglutarate, Arginine
?-Ketoglutarate, Arginine-Ketoisocaproate, and Ornithine
?-Ketoglutarate, which along with increasing strength, endurance
and recovery, form an Advanced Delivery System for the
essential amino acids. This advanced delivery system works by
naturally increasing the flow of blood to working muscles. More
blood means more oxygen and nutrients for the skeletal muscles.
The result is complete absorbability and almost 100% Net
Protein/Nitrogen Utilization for increased, strength, endurance,
and quicker recovery times making RAP by far the best
protein or amino acid complex available today.
RECOVER-Amino Power™ (RAP) is more effective,
more efficient and more quickly absorbed than meat, fish, eggs,
or any protein powder or amino acid complex. It has the highest
Net Protein/Nitrogen Utilization, almost 100%. That’s the
power of RAP.
RAP with its
EAAs and cofactors, and high rate of NET NITROGEN
UTILIZATION is a must for athletes so that they can increase
their stamina, strength, endurance, increase muscle growth, and
improve and speed time-to-recovery. It is also very important for
anyone who needs a protein rich diet, or any circumstance which
demands a protein rich diet: vegetarians, weight-loss diets,
post-surgery, after gastric bypass surgery; weak kidney or liver;
after prolonged illness; for the elderly; for quick recuperation;
and for a healthy immune system.
(COMPARE
similar products, which provide only the EAAs in lesser quantity,
and none of the other potent compounds and cofactors, and that
too less than 1/3rd the quantity of EAAs, selling for the same
price. In other words they are three times more expensive than
RAP).
RESEARCH AND
PROOF
RAP is an advanced and potent formulation, based on latest
research, in easy to swallow capsules. SIX capsules provide the
same anti-catabolic benefits which a protein shake can provide.
Based on existing research, empirical evidence and our
observations, we have concluded that regular use of RAP
will provide the following benefits:
1. EAAs are
extremely important for Muscle Growth and Development:
Most of the 22 amino acids (Non Essential) can be created by the
body as needed, however, the nine EAA’s must come from food
– they cannot be manufactured by the body. Researchers in a
recent independent study discovered a corresponding increase in
muscle growth when they increased blood EAA levels: blood EAA
level increase from 1.3 (mmol/l) to 2.6 (mmol/l), doubled the
rate of protein synthesis, thereby significantly increasing
muscle growth and recovery rate.
2. EAAs
prevent muscle breakdown occurring during and
post-exercise:
Muscle breakdown is a part of the process of training to excel.
The catabolic process starts as soon as training begins and
continues to damage muscles for several hours after exercise.
Studies have shown that the abundant presence of EAAs in the
blood stream, in the right proportions, not only prevent and
reduce the breakdown of muscles, but also help with recovery and
muscle growth. Regular use of RAP should maintain a good
supply of EAAs in the blood stream to enable the anabolic
process.
3. RECOVER
– Amino Power and caloric efficiency:
Caloric Efficiency is defined as the ratio of muscle protein
synthesis to calories consumed. A calorically efficient product
helps in gaining more muscle than fat. A product which is not
calorically efficient will work in the reverse direction –
more fat, less muscle. In our study we compared 6 capsules of
RAP to same amount of a product which contained a mixed
Essential and Non Essential amino acid blend and found that
RAP stimulated twice the muscle growth.
In another
study, a group of subjects were given 12 capsules of RAP,
while a second group received 12 capsules of RAP along with the
same amount of Non Essential Amino Acids, which is similar to the
amount of protein from a good protein shake. While calories were
more than double in the second group, the amount of protein
synthesis was identical for both groups. Which means that the
non-essential amino acids do not contribute to enhance muscle
growth, they are simply extra calories. Only the essential amino
acids cause muscle growth.
Furthermore
RAP contains the synergy of the extraordinary compounds
and cofactors of Ketoglutarates and ketoisocaproate which make
RAP not only the best but also the most calorically
efficient supplement on the market today.
4. Reduces
the inflammatory process:
RAP prevents and reduces muscle breakdown, thereby reducing the
inflammatory process that causes soreness, and decreases the
production of stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol causes muscle
loss, fat gain, and inhibits recovery. Reducing this cortisol
spike after training means faster recovery and muscle growth.
Therefore RAP helps train harder and
longer.
5.
Deamination and Essential Amino Acids: Food categories that
lack essential amino acids are poor sources of protein
equivalents, as the body tends to deaminate the amino acids
obtained, converting proteins into fats and carbohydrates.
Therefore, a balance of essential amino acids is extremely
important for a high degree of Net Protein Utilization, which is
the mass ratio of amino acids converted to proteins to amino
acids supplied.
The net protein
utilization is profoundly affected by the limiting amino acid
content (the essential amino acid found in the smallest quantity
in that particular food), and somewhat affected by salvage of
essential amino acids in the body. It is therefore a good idea to
use RECOVER-Amino Power regularly to maintain a varied intake of
all the Essential Amino Acids. This limits the loss of nitrogen
through deamination and increases overall net protein
utilization.
Use
RECOVER-Amino Power regularly to:
1. Prevent Muscle Breakdown
2. Reduce catabolism
3. Prevent Deamination
4. Improve and increase muscle growth
5. Reduce Fatigue and Soreness
6. Heal injuries quickly and efficiently
7. Increase energy levels
8. Increase strength and stamina
9. Speed time-to-recovery after exercise/workouts
10. Improve and maintain a healthy immune system
11. Increase and improve general health, vitality and
vigor
There are amino
acid products in the market which may be tablets or capsules of
whey protein concentrate or whey protein isolates. They may also
contain a few free-form amino acids, but do not contain all the
EAAs and the advanced compounds and cofactors of the
??Ketoglutarates. Some may be very similar to RAP, but
they do not even show the quantity of amino acids in them.
However, they sell for three times the price of RAP.
Compare and see for yourself before you buy
them.
RECOVER-Amino Power (RAP) does not contain any
ingredients banned or declared harmful by the FDA, or any
regulatory body or commission.
