The formula starts with 3,000 milligrams of leucine, the most anabolic amino acid known to science. Leucine is an activator of mTOR and the only amino acid with the capacity to directly stimulate muscle protein synthesis on its own. Leucine has also been proven to slow catabolism (i.e., tissue breakdown) by increasing the synthesis of new muscle proteins at a cellular level.
ANABOLIC STATE also contains 6 grams of micronized branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in a 2:1:1 ratio of leucine, isoleucine and valine. This precise ratio helps increase protein synthesis and muscle recovery. Our manufacturing process micronizes the amino acids to further increase solubility and absorption. The formula also includes 3,000 milligrams of glutamine, which is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and is crucial for manufacturing other amino acids needed for growth. ANABOLIC STATE also contains alpha hydroxyisocaprioc acid (HICA), a downstream metabolite of leucine and one of the most anti-catabolic substances known to scientists. In one study, test subjects given 1.5 grams of HICA per day gained three times more lean mass than a control group in just four weeks! With solid research, amazing taste and unmatched muscle-building results, ANABOLIC STATE is the best recovery supplement ever formulated.
