One of the key ingredients in Hi-5® is HICA, which in one particular study aided the subjects in gaining an average of 0.88 lb of lower-body lean mass. In contrast, those taking a placebo actually lost lean mass.
HICA is a powerful non-hormonal, natural support for muscle growth. Magnum Hi-5® contain 100% Pharmaceutical Grade Leucic Acid, also known as Alpha-hydroxy-isocaproic acid (HICA), a natural metabolite of the branched chain amino acid, Leucine.
HICA works by increasing the rate of protein synthesis, and decreasing the rate of muscle protein breakdown. In addition claims also include muscle and strength support, increased recovery from workouts, and reduced muscle soreness. Its mechanism of action has been suggested as an independent mTOR signal transducer, which is a “cell-signaler” for muscle protein synthesis (anabolism). Leucic Acid also interrupts muscle protein breakdown by activating nuclear factor kappa B and inhibiting caspase-8. It may also activate IGF-1, a growth factor that helps age-related decreases in your body’s growth hormone output.
This specialized amino acid can prevent muscle break- down, especially during intense training and dieting. One Finnish study found that competitive wrestlers who were training three times a day and taking HICA had less delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and were able to gain two pounds of muscle despite the overtraining. In a follow-up study, the Finnish researchers reported that soccer players who took HICA for four weeks during an intensive
training period also had
less DOMS
than the placebo group. HICA
users
also gained a pound
of muscle on their legs
while the placebo group lost a pound.
Other key ingredients in Magnum Hi-5® such as Leucine, L-Carnitine L-Tartrate and Rhodiola Rosea have been clinically studied and proven to increase your bodies ability to recover and fight stress.
Magnum HI-5® is a full-dose amino supplement that is made with 100% Fermented, Pharmaceutical Grade Amino Acids, NOT those derived from Human Hair. Magnum HI-5® uses zero human hair or bird feathers, which are alternatives to Fermented Amino Acids. This is very rarely seen as Fermented Amino Acids cost 4 - 8 X MORE than human hair Aminos. Take a look around does your Amino supplement tell you what the source is? Most Amino Acid supplements use Aminos that come from hair taken from prisoners, while the alternative that we use, is derived primarily from beets and corn.
If your Aminos WEREN'T made from human hair, wouldn't a company advertise this?
