Anabolic Innovations Glycobol 120 Caps
GlycoBol: Bottom Line: Increased Performance
Glycobol works, not like typical muscle gainers, but primarily by it’s
ability to mimic and boost insulin. On it’s own, insulin is a powerful growth
peptide, but it also plays a critical role in the action of androgens. Just like
insulin, androgens are another fundamental class of endocrine hormones. Studies
show that androgens fail to sustain a positive muscle nitrogen balance in the
absence of insulin, emphasizing the critical role of insulin as a potential
limiting factor to the anabolic capacity of androgens. Therefore, Glycobol
could be combined with any of the commercially available androgens to
optimize and exaggerate gains by it’s essential synergistic contribution.
Insulin also interacts synergistically with GH, IGF and thyroid
hormones to compound growth effects, even when these endocrine co-factors are
only present at average physiological levels. Therefore, Glycobol can be
used to achieve impressive natural muscle gains and body re-composition as an
effective stand-alone agent too.
You asked for something Innovative, now you’ve got it!
Glycobol Blend:
Sodium R-Lipoate (Na-r-ALA)
ALA is naturally produced in the body as a mitochondrial enzyme cofactor. It is
important to aerobic metabolism. ALA has been shown to increase cellular uptake
of glucose to cell membranes by recruiting the glucose transporter GLUT4. ALA
improves skeletal muscle glucose transport, resulting in desirable blood glucose
disposal and increased muscle glycogen concentrations. (1) Studies also indicate
that in muscle, ALA is a potent anti-oxidant which protects cells from oxidative
stress-induced insulin resistance. (2) The ALA used in this formula is
chemically stabilized and of the highest quality. It’s the most active isomer
and the highest potency salt commercially available. ALA is an invaluable
addition that offers a multitude of benefits plus countless extras for any
serious athlete.
Bottom Line: Best way to describe this effect is that it almost adds a
filter to the muscle fibers; Taking in what it needs to prepare for growth.
Trigonella Seed isolate (standardized to 10% 4-hydroxyisoleucine)
Fenugreek has been successfully applied for thousands of years to improve
health. It corrects blood sugar problems and improves cholesterol scores. Modern
research also shows that it improves endurance and lowers blood lactate
concentrations dramatically. Treatment with fenugreek seed can also
significantly decreases fat accumulation. These results suggest that this
improvement in endurance and reduction in body fat is caused by an increase in
the utilization of fatty acids as an energy source. (3) Fenugreek supplements
high in 4-HIL have also been demonstrated to increase post-exercise glycogen
resynthesis in athletes, which promotes rapid recovery and helps prevent
training fatigue. (4) The visible results of this glycogenic effect are big,
pumped muscles that look extremely full and vascular.
Bottom Line: Helps you use fatty acids as an energy source, rather than
store them as Fat!
Phellodendron extract (standardized to 90% berberine)
Phellodendron is one of the highly valued traditional Chinese herbs, used
medicinally to treat a variety of health conditions. It is reported that some
subjects show improved strength, lower blood pressure, and lower blood sugar in
response to Phellodendron isolates. Laboratory studies suggest that one of these
alkaloidal isolates called berberine may accomplish these benefits by enhancing
insulin production. (5) There are also many studies that suggest berberine can
reduce total serum cholesterol, dangerous LDL-cholesterol, and unhealthy
triglycerides, which would obviously contribute greatly to increased athletic
performance and good over-all health. (6) Improved health and increased physical
performance translates into greater strength and muscle gains in the gym.
Bottom Line: Increased performance translates into greater strength and
muscle gains.
Cinnamon Bark 20:1 extract (standardized for 16% flavonoids)
Cinnamon is a common spice used all over the world, but it’s not commonly known
that the spice has significant therapeutic value. Cinnamon contains the element
chromium, which is needed for proper glucose metabolism, and also compounds
called flavonoids. Flavinoids are potent anti-oxidants which are known to
provide protection against cancer and heart disease. The specific flavonoids
found in cinnamon bark are shown to stimulate glucose uptake and glycogen
synthesis similar to insulin. These flavonoids may activate receptors by direct
insulin mimicking action, or indirect insulin potentiation, or both. (7) Studies
also show that cinnamon improves lipid profiles for some subjects. (8) If you
train consistently and have a healthy diet, your big muscular improvements from
this powerful little cinnamon extract might surprise you.
Bottom Line: Insulin is very anabolic, so the insulin boosting action of
cinnamon extract will be bigger, stronger muscles.
Bis(Maltolato)Oxovanadium (BMOV)
BMOV is an organic form of the mineral vanadium. Although elemental
vanadium and inorganic salts of vanadium show significant biological potential,
it has a poor therapeutic index due to low gastrointestinal absorbance. BMOV
is recognized as safer, more absorbable, and able to deliver a therapeutic
effect up to 50% greater than the inorganic forms. (9) Vanadium is one of the
rare microelements that can promote a profound boost in endurance and strongly
support anabolism. BMOV can give muscles a hardness like you have never
experience before. The form of vanadium used in this formula is one of the very
best you can find, if not the best.
Bottom Line: Makes your Muscle harder than ever, increases vascularity!
- Promotes muscle mass, strength and endurance.
- Encourages fat loss and prevents fat accumulation.
- Improves recovery time by rapid glycogen resynthesis.
- Provides lasting “pump”, hardness and vascularity.
- Drives amino acid and creatine uptake into muscle.
- Increases muscle protein synthesis and inhibits breakdown.
- Controls blood sugar and maximizes nutrient utilization.
- Potent synergism with endogenous endocrine hormones.
- Strong anti-oxidant protects liver, lipid and cardio health.
