MuscleMeds Secret Sauce

Secret Sauce

This once classified formula revolutionizes post-workout nutrition and recovery. Not only does Secret Sauce replenish your muscles with essential nutrients, amino acids and glycogen that have been stripped from your muscle tissue due to intense training, it also creates an anabolic environment that leads to greater muscle recovery and increased muscle mass.*

Secret Sauce is the world’s first BIOACTIVE POST-WORKOUT FORMULA enhanced with pharmaceutical quality BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) to support anabolic action and fast recovery. BSA is a scientifically documented bioactive protein derived from bovine blood plasma. Research suggests that BSA supports the revitalization of muscle tissue, thus helping to build bigger and stronger muscles.*

While BSA is the central core to Secret Sauce’s anabolic action, this unique and advanced post-workout formula contains many other powerful clinically researched ingredients. During the development process of Secret Sauce, the scientists at MuscleMeds endeavored to formulate a product that not only stimulates protein synthesis, but also modulates the anabolic effects of insulin and replenishes muscle glycogen and ATP, which are critical for optimal post-workout supplementation. Secret Sauce doubles down with both naturally occurring leucine in BSA and an additional 5 gram leucine-loaded dose of BCAAs in an anabolic 10:1:1 ratio to promote protein synthesis. To ensure peak ATP replenishment, Secret Sauce utilizes MuscleMeds Power-AMP Cre3 Creatine Complex consisting of creatine monohydrate, Creatine Magnapower and creatine gluconate. Post-workout creatine uptake and ATP replenishment is enhanced by BSA’s plasma transport gradient, leading to increased cell volumizing, muscle size and recovery.*

The next important step to complete post-workout supplementation is to optimize the anabolic activity of insulin and replenish glycogen. Secret Sauce has taken insulin spiking and glycogen replenishment to a new level with the inclusion of the insulinotropic amino acids glycine and phenylalanine, in combination with MuscleMeds proprietary iSPIKE Insulin-Release-Amplifying Reactive Carbohydrate System. These insulinotropic aminos work in tandem with the iSPIKE reactive carbohydrates and BSA plasma transport to activate a highly anabolic insulin surge and super fast muscle glycogen and ATP saturation. This dynamic trio also enhances the uptake of other key nutrients, peptides and growth factors in BSA to trigger the post-workout growth and repair of muscle tissue.*

SECRET SAUCE INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN:

Secret Sauce is the world’s first post-workout formula that delivers Pharmaceutical Quality Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) Bioactive Peptides to help create an anabolic environment for muscle growth and recovery. BSA is a scientifically documented bioactive protein derived from bovine blood plasma. Researchers have identified BSA to have multiple biological factors that help influence muscle growth. Some of the biological factors and functional properties of BSA include its bioactive peptides and growth factors, high concentrations of leucine and essential muscle building amino acids, high osmolality and its ability to enhance the uptake and transport of nutrients such as creatine, amino acids and glucose into blood plasma and speed delivery to muscle tissue.*

The BCAAs – Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine – are one of the most highly researched and backed supplements on the market today. They have been suggested in research to help reduce muscle breakdown, while promoting an anabolic effect. Secret Sauce packs a powerful 5g of a leucine-loaded dose in a highly anabolic 10:1:1 ratio to help maximize muscle anabolism and reduce catabolic muscle breakdown following intense training. Stimulating protein synthesis is an essential key when triggering muscle growth and research suggests leucine is perhaps the most anabolic and effective amino acid for activating mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) – one of the body’s protein synthesis regulators, energy sensors and nutrient sensors of amino acid availability.*

Along with BCAAs, Secret Sauce delivers a potent dose of additional insulinotropic amino acids to enhance uptake and absorption of these anabolic muscle builders. The aminos phenylalanine and glycine are both suggested by research to possess insulinotropic qualities – that its, they help to increase insulin sensitivity and actually stimulate or affect insulin production, which is critical for faster nutrient absorption. Furthermore, the combination of these insulinotropic amino acids may improve the anabolic effects of leucine, which thereby enhances the muscle building and recovery benefits of Secret Sauce*

To further amplify Secret Sauce, MuscleMeds scientists developed the Power-AMP Cre3 Creatine Complex, a multi-source complex that consists of creatine monohydrate, Creatine Magnapower and creatine gluconate for greater muscle voluminization for superior muscle growth and recovery. Research suggests that one of the optimal times to consume creatine is immediately following your demanding workout. The combination of all three forms of creatine in Secret Sauce is suggested to peak creatine plasma levels faster, enhance the body’s absorption rate, and boost the generation and regeneration of ATP – which is further increased due to BSA’s plasma transport gradient.*

The faster you can get carbs into your system to spike insulin and replenish glycogen after a workout, the better! This is accomplished with MuscleMeds exclusive iSPIKE Technology. The speed at which a nutrient particle is absorbed is partly a function of its surface area. The greater the surface area, the more digestive enzyme molecules can react with it simultaneously. This promotes greater rates of absorption and higher insulin spikes. MuscleMeds researchers have reduced the average size of the carbohydrate particles in the iSPIKE Technology while increasing the total number of particles, thus resulting in a substantial increase in reactive surface area and faster absorption.*

The use of micronparticulated waxy maize and micronparticulated maltodextrin in the iSPIKE Technology yields tiny particles of these carbohydrate sources, which therefore greatly accelerates their absorption speed. This high speed uptake uptake of glycogen into muscle tissue is essential for faster recovery and recuperation. iSPIKE uses the enzymes amylase and glucoamylase to speed the breakdown of these two micronparticulated carbohydrates. This further enhances the anabolic qualities of the muscle glycogen delivery system.*

To maximize the anabolic effects of insulin, MuscleMeds developed a proprietary Insulin-Signal Amplifying System for the iSpike Technology, taking post-workout nutrient uptake to a whole new level. This system contains a patent-pending mineral known as Chromium 454 (Cr454). Preliminary research results suggest that Cr454 may increase glucose uptake into human skeletal muscle cells up to 300%. When more glucose enters your muscle cells in the presence of insulin, even stronger anabolic signals are possible, which support faster speeds of glycogen replenishment and mass building. The Insulin-Signal Amplifying System also contains the insulinotropic amino acid 4-hydroxyisoleucine, D-pinitol and Agaricus blazei to help stimulate insulin secretion and increase insulin receptor response.*
