IntrAbolic
The Pioneer of Intra-Workout Supplementation
Stimulate the Anabolic Response DURING Exercise, Increase Strength & Endurance!
What is the point of investing your hard earned money on supplements that claim to be the latest and greatest phenomenon when they are NOT going to help you DURING your workouts?
Bodybuilding is about Body--Building. During workouts, muscles are torn down and fatigue can be a tremendous challenge. By providing your muscles with effective nutrients DURING your workout, you will boost the anabolic response, fight the catabolic effects of exercise and delay muscular fatigue, ultimately leading to NEW muscle gains!
Continuing to evolve with the latest advancements in Nutrient Timing Science, we bring you IntrAbolic: Intra=(DURING)+Anabolic(Muscle Building)= IntrAbolic,The Pioneer of Intra-Workout Supplementation!
IntrAbolic Highlights:
1. Stimulate Muscle Growth
2. Fight Muscle Breakdown
3. Boost Explosive Muscular Strength & Increase Endurance
4. Increase Muscle Fullness and Vascularity
5. IntrAbolic-Peptides provide rapidly absorbed, low-molecular weight di- and tripeptides
6. Blends easily with spoon or in water bottle
What makes IntrAbolic so unique and effective?
Custom Whey Protein Hydrolysate = IntrAbolic-Peptides?
IntrAbolic works by utilizing a unique whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) found exclusively in IntrAbolic. Our custom WPH has undergone a high degree of hydrolysis (over 30%) which supplies primarily low-molecular weight, di-and tripeptides we refer to as IntrAbolic-Peptides. Unlike standard intact proteins and long chain peptides, IntrAbolic-Peptides do not have to undergo the typical slow digestive process. Their unique properties also allow them to utilize a highly efficient transport system, specific to di-and tripeptides. Unlike regular amino acids derived from intact proteins which are slow to enter the bloodstream, IntrAbolic-Peptides are rapidly absorbed, causing a tremendous spike in extracellular amino acids. Research has shown, it is extracellular amino acid concentrations that stimulate and signal our bodies to increase protein synthesis and maximize the anabolic response. Concurrently, this large amino acid spike causes an insulin increase to fight muscle breakdown which occurs during training. Rapid and efficient absorption also makes these peptides ideal for use during your workout as they will not cause bloating or stomach discomfort like other intact proteins.
Free-form amino acids
Another highly efficient and rapid way to get amino acids into the blood (second only to WPH) is through ingestion of free-form amino acids (ffAA's), specifically the essential amino acids in free form. Intensive nutrient timing research studies show ffAA's (due to their quick absorption) can cause a big spike in blood plasma amino acid concentrations and when timed properly with exercise, may illicit a much greater anabolic response from exercise than intact proteins can. Combining WPH with ffAA's creates a powerful one-two punch in boosting anabolism and fighting catabolism. The beauty of combining di-and tripeptides from WHP with ffAA's is both use different intestinal transporters to carry them into the blood, maximizing absorption speed with very little redundancy. Current research shows that di- and tripeptides may actually enhance the ffAA's transporters, further increasing the rate of absorption.
Leucine
This powerhouse amino acid has been shown in research to both directly stimulate protein synthesis and indirectly by increasing the hormone insulin, which is both anabolic and anti-catabolic. Simply put, this is one of the most effective amino acids you can take intra-workout and further enhances the anabolic response when other essential amino acids are present.
Beta-Alanine, Carnosine Booster
Touted as the biggest scientific breakthrough since creatine, the amino acid beta-alanine has exploded into the sports nutrition industry, as more people find out just how effective this supplement really is. This worldwide explosion can largely be credited to the enormous popularity of our formula, IntraXCell, The World's First DEDICATED carnosine booster. When taken at a minimum dose of 3.2g per day, its cumulative effects when taken daily for 1-2 weeks, can impact your workout performance greatly.
Much of beta-alanine's effects are realized by boosting the synthesis of a intracellular (inside the cell) buffer called carnosine. Carnosine is a dipeptide, composed of the amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine and has the ability to stabilize muscular pH by soaking up fatigue causing hydrogen ions(H+).
It has been dosed perfectly to stack with IntraXCell to maximize the speed of carnosine synthesis and bring about BIG GAINS in strength, muscle and endurance.. FAST!
Electrolytes/minerals-
The importance of replacing the electrolytes: sodium, potassium and chloride should not be overlooked since, during exercise, we are losing electrolytes at an accelerated rate. Just as important, is their ability to assist in the absorption of fluid and carbohydrate uptake in the gut. The minerals calcium and magnesium are included as they are needed for muscular contraction and muscular growth. When magnesium levels are low during exercise, research has shown fatigue increases.

So can't I simply take any whey hydrolysate and receive the same benefits as IntrAbolic?
No. NOT ALL whey protein hydrolysates (WPH) are created equal as there are large variances in degrees of hydrolysis the whey protein has undergone. A low degree of hydrolysis will leave you with a high amount of inferior polypeptides and little to NO di-and tripeptides. Check the panels of other WPH products and look for the percentage of hydrolysis the whey has undergone. If they do not disclose the degree of hydrolysis on the label be warned as it may be VERY low. Do not mistake the percentage of how much of the product is WPH for the percentage of hydrolysis the whey has undergone. They are NOT related. For example, IntrAbolic protein is 100% WPH, but the degree of hydrolysis is over 30%.
Q: Who can benefit from IntrAbolic?
1. Individuals participating in weight training looking to make BIG gains in muscle mass
2. Any individual wanting to increase their strength, power and muscular endurance
3. Slow gainers looking for something to take them to the next level
Q: Do I need to add anything extra to IntrAbolic during my workout to make it more effective?
NO, NOTHING else is necessary. No extra branch chain amino acids, no extra essential amino acids, no extra beta-alanine is needed. All ingredients in IntrAbolic are concentrated, research supported doses and satisfy 100% of the nutrient requirements during your workout in one groundbreaking formula.
Q: Are their any stimulants in IntrAbolic?
No.
Q: Can I take IntrAbolic late at night?
Yes.
Q: What other supplements do you recommend to maximize the results when taking IntrAbolic?
While nothing extra is needed to be taken intra-workout, outside of IntrAbolic. There are other important ingredients, that should be taken at different times, that can greatly increase your benefits from IntrAbolic:
1. We recommend our beta-alanine, carnosine booster IntraXCell along with our full spectrum, pre-workout formula, SteelEdge.
2. Creatine is another supplement that works great with IntrAbolic and can certainly be stacked together
3. A post-workout, fast acting protein/carbohydrate shake is recommended
4. Depending on the type and duration of your exercise regime, we suggest you add carbohydrates to IntrAbolic. We leave the type and amount of carbohydrate up to your individual needs.
Q: How should I combine these three products?
Our products are formulated based on the latest advancements in nutrient timing science and are designed to work together synergistically. To learn how to properly stack our products and maximize your muscle building and performance results, please read our Nutrient Timing Stack Recommendations below.
THE Anabolic Performance Stack:
IntrAbolic with IntraXCell & SteelEdge - This is our most powerful and effective stack, yielding the greatest results in building muscle mass, increasing performance and supercharging your energy and focus. This is the ultimate muscle building stack. This is perfection! Training Days: Take IntrAbolic and SteelEdge as directed. Post workout, take one serving of IntraXCell.
Non-Training Days: Only use IntraXCell as instructed on the bottle.
Anabolic Performance Stack-Stimulant Free:
IntrAbolic with IntraXCell - The perfect stack for individuals who DO NOT want any stimulants such as caffeine and/or workout late at night. This stack will enhance IntrAbolic by rapidly increasing carnosine concentrations, which leads to even bigger increases in strength and endurance. This stack will also increase the length of time your IntraXCell supply will last, further increasing YOUR value.
Training Days: Take IntrAbolic as directed and only ONE serving of IntraXCell post workout. Non-Training Days: Only take IntraXCell as directed by the IntraXCell recommended use for non-training days. IntrAbolic is NOT taken on non-training days. These two products were designed to work together perfectly.
Recommended Use: Mix one serving of IntrAbolic in 8-16oz of water. We suggest mixing in a bottle with a cap. Avoid air bubbles by slowly shaking the bottle. Allow the powder to fully dissolve (2-5 minutes). Start sipping immediately prior to exercise and continue to SLOWLY sip throughout your workout session. IntrAbolic is a concentrated formula and some individuals may need to begin with half a dose for the first week to acclimate their bodies to the prickling sensation created by the beta-alanine content.
just curious...if Intrabolic has enough beta alanine, then what can be gained by taking Intraxcell...or is it the more the merrier?
Remember, IntrAbolic is ONLY taken intra-workout, NOT on off days
Anabolic Performance Stack-Stimulant Free:
IntrAbolic with IntraXCell - The perfect stack for individuals who DO NOT want any stimulants such as caffeine and/or workout late at night.

DOSING:
In a nutshell the way I have been stacking IntraXCell with IntrAbolic:
Non training day-Two servings of IntraXCell as usual
Training days- One serving IntrAbolic(3.2gBA) and one serving of IntraXCell(2gBA) postWO or later during the day.
So I'm getting 5.2g of beta-alanine on training days and 4grams of beta-alanine on non-training days, pretty nice to say the least!
Some people in the first month of starting IntraXCell/IntrAbolic may want to take as an OPTIONAL loading phase. One serving of IntrAbolic(3.2gBA) and One serving(3caps) and another two caps of IntraXCell at any other times during the day. This strategy will supply 3.2gBA from IntraXCell and 3.2gBA from IntrAbolic, totaling 6.4g of beta-alanine a day!!
This is strictly OPTIONAL and wont make much of a difference after the first month. But the 6.4g of BA a day, will increase CARN levels FASTER in the first month. After that, we suggest to go back down into the 4-5g range a day.
No matter what, IntrAbolic INCREASES how long IntraXCell will last you

oh and sebastian, i know how much you care about graphics feedback...the intrabolic label and bottle set up is the best yet IMO. the lettering looks more like chrome than the steel look. Pretty sweet!
great work. I really want to give this a try, especially since its stim free so i can stack it with whatever i want and take it when i want. I think the profile is perfect for its use and would be excellent for my drive lacking school workouts.
What we want to offer as our way of saying thank you, is as follows:
1. THE DAY IntrAbolic is displayed on bb.com(hopefully tomorrow) for THREE days, including the first day as day one and ending at 12midnightEST on the third day.
Email an AEN rep proof of purchase for IntrAbolic. In doing so, we will send you ONE bottle of IntraXCell for FREE!!

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!
that's a good selling point in Asia.
If I own a brick and mortar shop, sure this point can help the product to sell by itself.

Thanks BB06, yeah both the artist and myself agreed with basically exactly what you just said. IntrAbolic does looks the best our of our three. But, there are still some needed tweaks to the next run of labels,that will make it look even better.
My poor artist, hand does that steely/chrome effect you see on the lettering. If people knew how much time,thought and effort went into the labels alone, they would be shocked.
Of course the formula's take way longer..A year on IntrAbolic..wow. We thought it would be selling around may this year...lol
Thank you for the insightful comments though, I will be sure to pass them along to our artist.
Yes STIM free is a welcome feature right, especially now a days with sooo many products containing caffeine ect We wanted this to be a staple workout supplement that could be taken any time of the day. For people that want the stim effect, they can stack it with SteelEdge or their favorite chosen psychotic stim product!
Top notch product from a top notch company. These guys are some of the nicest and most helpful on the boards in my personal opinon!
Thank you Sir

The lower hydrolysates are not too bad to work with from a flavoring perspective, but when you get into the 20%'s and up...it gets VERY bitter and hard to flavor.
I think you guys are going to be very impressed with IntrAbolics flavor, especially considering that we are using a WPH with OVER 30% H.
Also, I am going to take this thread into the usual type of AEN thread like IntraXCell's FAQ..i.e tons of science and detailed explanations.
Some of the specifics of the WPH we are using will be explained, so you guys can get a better understanding of how good the WPH we are using in IntrAbolic is and what are its advantages even when comparing to other WPH's.
Someone also, asked about PeptoPro in our original thread, I will address that in detail.
Lastly, someone asked about the lack of tryptophan in the ffEAA blend, thinking it would compromise the anabolic effects of IntrAbolic. This was before the WPH was disclosed of course, so it's basicly a moot point now.
Regardless, the ffEAA studies use blends that do NOT contain tryp and they greatly spike protein synthesis. Even leucine alone can stimulate protein synthesis. Taking extra ff tryp preWO or during would not be suggested due to the fact that the body uses it to make serotonin and serotonin increasing fatigue.
Other questions, where asked in that thread that I will give detailed answers on a little later. And I will also give more detailed responses to the above once I get caught up with everything.
Intra-Workout supplementation is a HUGE topic and so are the various ingredients in IntAbolic. We have a TON to cover, but it will all unfold in time.
Please stay posted and ask any questions you may have.

Another thing everyone, IntrAbolic mixes in water and is very thin, do not think it is like drinking a whey shake or anything close. It's similiar in texture to say those RTD isopures you buy in the store.
Very easy and tasty to drink intra-workout!

Very good point, I cant wait to taste this and use repeatedly..
Im sorry if it has been said, but what is the amount per serving?
Also from your Sebastian's personal use or other AEN reps did you feel the need to mix it with really cold water toimprove taste or just "normal" cold water. I have found some supps taste much better when they are mixed in very cold water.
How many grams of WPH are in a serving? I understand you used a very high quality WPH but I am still curious of the amount...
Stim Free = I am happy that is stim free especially since it is to be taken during a WO...plus sometimes I go for a late night 9pm WO every now and then.
Also I noticed something, the writing below the title of the supplement, in the silver rectangle.. the "The Pioneer of Intra-Workout Supplementation" part it seems to be written in RED where as in IXC and SE it looks Black..new design?

I have attached a PDF of the supplement facts panel in the first post. A serving size is 24grams and there is 7grams of protein coming from the WPH. There is also 8grams of ffEAA's. which DO NOT list as protein per FDA requirements, which of course is a little silly. IMO, you should really look at EAA products, as protein, even if they are free form amino acids.
The protein dosing was based on some very recent intra-workout studies and is spot on!
Between the 7gprotein, 8g of ffEAA's and 3.2g of BA and other goodies taken intra-workout, you will feel very good. The only thing you MAY have to do, is reduce the dose if anything. I don't suggest you go higher than a serving, it could cause some GI distress if you go overboard.
A high % WPH is the ultimate protein source taken intra-workout, as it's mostly short chain di-and tripeptides and spikes AA's in the blood big time, which is why they are so anabolic and perfect for intra-workout consumption. From a practicality standpoint, they don't have to under go the usual digestive process and are supper easy on the gut.
The fist time you taste it, it is different for sure, as high % WPH is unique stuff. But I and my reps found ourselves craving it and REALLY genuinely enjoying it.
I do agree, cold is always better. The green apple flavor works perfectly.
To the last comment you made, yes actually all three products have the witting in red there now, those pics are from some previous containers.
The bar that the red is written on for IntrAbolic is too dark though and we know we need to lighten it up for the red to come out like it does on IXL and SE.. Nice observation Sapper!
