THE POWER OF PROTEIN Within the human body, skeletal muscle proteins are constantly being synthesised and broken down. The rates of which vary depending upon the individual, dietary protein intake and exercise. As a baseline, for sedentary individuals, the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day (g.kg.bw.d), however highly active individuals incur greater rates of both muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB); as such, an exercisers’ protein intake should be increased. This is particularly important for individuals who desire an increase the muscle size. For these people, dietary protein intake should be between 1.5 to 2 g.kg.bw.d of protein (Kreider et al., 2010).

To support muscle growth increasing the protein intake is only part of the story; due to digestion and protein absorption into the muscle, protein amounts are limited. At any given meal or snack, exercisers should consume between 20-40g of protein regularly throughout the day (every 2-3 hours) is the optimal way of stimulating muscle protein synthesis and therefore recovery and physical adaptation. (Tipton et al, 2009).

BIOMAX® PROTEIN

The UK’s No.1 ‘all in one’ muscle growth shake Cyclone has helped thousands of gym goers and athletes to achieve their size, strength and power goals, it’s therefore considered as one of the best all-in-one muscle builders available. Cyclone is specifically designed for those individuals that are looking to take their training and nutrition to the next step but without the hassle of mixing numerous ingredients and compromising on taste. Cyclone is available in a variety of flavours, from the standard chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, to the unique tropical, banoffee and chocolate mint. Each 60g powdered serving is easily mixed with 350-400ml of water, to provide you with a delicious shake that supports your training.

Cyclone contains our unique high quality protein blend, Biomax, to provide your body with essential amino acids, BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) and glutamine. Each serving of Cyclone contains 30g of Biomax protein per serving, which includes whey protein isolate & hydrolysed whey protein, to support the growth and maintenance of lean muscle mass.

Whey protein isolate is a pure form of whey protein that has had virtually all fat, lactose and other impurities removed to make it faster acting. It is rapidly digested by the body which allows for the fast uptake of amino acids stimulating growth and repair of the tissue. Hydrolysed whey protein is produced by treating the whey protein with enzymes that split peptide bonds from the protein structure. These peptide fractions are absorbed faster and reach muscle cell sites quicker than other protein sources creating a fast acting protein for improved muscle recovery and growth.

BCAAs

FIBRE

The branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which are present in many protein rich foods such as dairy, meat, fish and eggs. BCAAs are considered essential amino acids, because the human body cannot self produce them and therefore they are required from the diet. BCAAs and in particular leucine; have been shown to activate muscle signalling pathways that stimulate protein synthesis during the recovery period after exercise (Blomstrand et al., 2006).

There are two different forms of fibre - soluble and insoluble.

Soluble fibre, found in foods such as, oats, fruits and root vegetables, helps the human body to absorb nutrients and good elements from food. Insoluble fibre, found in foods such as wholemeal bread, bran and cereals, helps the body to move the waste and harmful materials from the digestive tract.

Insoluble fibre also absorbs water, expanding your digestive tract and filling your stomach, increasing the feeling of satiety.

GLUTAMINE

RECOMMENDED USE

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and has recently become regarded as conditionally essential rather than a non-essential amino acid (Newsholme et al., 2011). It is commonly found in high protein foods such as meats and fish, and is used in the body for cell growth and fuelling the immune system. During periods of heavy training, glutamine levels fall in the body which can suppress the immune system and increases the risk of infection (Castell et al, 1996).

For best results take 2 servings a day. Take one serving = 1.5 scoops and mix with 350-400ml of cold water and consume one at breakfast and another between meals or after training if appropriate.

CREATINE Creatine is a derivative from three amino acids (arginine, glycine and methionine) and is stored in skeletal muscle (approximately 95%). Creatine monohydrate is the most extensively studied and clinically effective ergogenic aid used in nutritional supplements in terms of muscle uptake and ability to increase high-intensity exercise capacity. Creatine supplementation provides support for high intensity repeated bout exercises by a rapid replenishment of the immediate energy source, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) (Buford et al., 2007). Essentially, supplementation has been shown to allow exercisers to increase work output, whether that be high intensity repeated sprints or repetitions of a heavy weight.

HMB HMB (beta-hydroxy beta-methyl butyrate) is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine and is naturally produced in humans.

HMB increases the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle following high intensity or prolonged exercise (Nissen et al., 1996). HMB supplementation has been shown to result in a positive balance of skeletal muscle protein turnover though stimulation of protein synthesis and decrease of protein degradation. Moreover, HMB promotes skeletal muscle satellite cell activation and potentially increases skeletal muscle regenerative capacity (Wilson et al., 2013).

ZINC Zinc is a mineral that is required extensively to normalise various body processes, for example, energy pathways, protein digestion, enzyme reactions, cell reproduction and testosterone production (Manore & Thompson, 2000). During heightened levels of activity, zinc concentrations fluctuate within blood and increased losses are found within the sweat and urine. By normalising testosterone levels it would be feasible to suggest that any deficiency could adversely impact the natural anabolic hormone and therefore affect muscle mass and strength (Vingren et al., 2010).

Zinc is found in a number of food sources and is greater in animal products than plant products. Good sources of zinc include red meat, seafood, poultry and milk. The RDA for zinc is 11 mg/day for men and 8 mg/day for women, while the upper limit is 40 mg/day (IOM, 2001)
