MuscleTech Phospha Muscle 750 mg 140 Softgels

Introducing new MuscleTech^® Phospha Muscle™ – a shockingly powerful musclebuilder evolving from a breakthrough new study from The University of Tampa. In this study, researchers finally exposed the anabolic potential and incredible musclebuilding effects of phosphatidic acid. Phosphatidic acid naturally increases in the body during resistance training and binds to mTOR, thereby increasing protein synthesis. MuscleTech^® Phospha Muscle delivers the purest form of phosphatidic acid to boost these effects and give you the size and strength you want!­

THE NEW MUSCLEBUILDING BREAKTHROUGH PHOSPHATIDIC ACID

By now you’ve likely heard of phosphatidic acid, as it’s quickly become a staple in the arsenal of some of the best bodies on the planet, including record-chasing athletes who are looking everywhere for an edge in sports that are often decided by the smallest of margins.

How Does It Work?
Phosphatidic acid is an important signaling lipid that plays a role in a range of biological processes, including protein synthesis. It is a major part of cell membranes and plays several roles in the functioning of cells.

However what’s most important to anyone looking to build more muscle is that phosphatidic acid has been shown to activate the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (more commonly known as mTORC1) signaling pathway, enhancing the effects of weight training.

Activating mTOR For More Muscle

You’ve probably heard of mTOR – the pathway responsible for protein synthesis and muscle growth. mTOR is a multi-domain protein kinase that interacts with other proteins to form two main types of complexes: mTOR complexes 1 and 2 (mTORC1 and mTORC2).

Signaling through mTORC1 is much better understood than signaling through mTORC2, and as such, it is known that it plays a major role in cellular regulation, impacting cell growth (including muscle growth). Signaling through mTORC1 is activated by hormones and growth factors, and requires amino acids. mTORC1 can be negatively regulated by stressful conditions, such as decreased energy (ATP) availability.

mTORC1 can also be activated by exercise. When we work out, the fibers that receive the mechanical stimulus of an external load trigger the release of phosphatidic acid inside the cells. Phosphatidic acid then binds to mTOR and activates mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), which causes the growth and repair of muscle. If you want to build muscle, you have to activate mTORC1, and the more phosphatidic acid available, the more amplified the effect on intracellular protein synthesis and, ultimately, on muscle gains.

And now, scientists have discovered that introducing phosphatidic acid via supplementation while following a resistance-training program has this exact same effect on mTOR activation!
