Q: I use another brand of BCAA’s, what makes Chain’d Out® so special?

A: Other than ALR Industries winning best tasting formula and #1 BCAA matrix in both Australia and New Zealand? Well, all BCAA products have value. Most are simply energy substrates during catabolic or caloric restricted periods. If you are losing 50-66% of your BCAA supplementation, it is not only non-cost eff ective and weak in anti-catabolic support but it is also not anabolic. Chain’d Out® is without a doubt the only time release anabolic and anticatabolic formula available. Gain lean mass now!

Q: Don’t I Get Enough BCAA’S In My Protein Shake? I Thought My Protein gave me all the Amino Acids I needed.

A: That depends upon how hard you train and how much lean mass you want. BCAAs are about 70% of total muscle protein cell weight. When you train, your body often dips into these muscle cells to steal BCAAs as a source of energy to keep the muscles working. When this happens you lose lean mass and much of your hard work is lost. Any BCAA product will help, but the goal is not just to decrease the amount of lean mass/ BCAAs lost from training and stress. The goal is to get the anabolic (growth) pay off you’re working for. This requires properly protected BCAAs and a time-release delivery such as we have created with our unique alphahydroxy-ester technology. Get all you pay for, not just a few % and start seeing and felling the diff erence today.

Q: Do I use Chain’d Out® Before I Train or After?

A: In all honesty all three: Before, during and after training. Not only does Chain’d Out taste amazing and have a refreshing pro-recover aff ect you feel, it assures proper hydration and the strongest anabolic
and anti-catabolic environment. We have had amazing positive mental and physiological results reported from mixing 1-3 servings of Chain’d Out® to the appropriate amount of cold water and drinking between meals. This of course includes while training or in the middle of the night. However, if you only have one chance to enjoy a serving of your favorite flavor of Chain’d Out®, then drink it 15 minute prior to training.

Q: Do I Take it with My Protein Shake or Meal?

A: All proteins break down into amino acids and some compete for muscle receptor sites and/or enzymes. The result is something good may get kicked out, like BCAAs. Since Chain’d Out® passes through the GI rather quickly, you simply need to be sure you have not consumed proteins for 2 hours prior or 20-30 minutes after ingestion. Pretty simple, huh?

Q: I Noticed you didn’t add any form of Glutamine to Chain’d Out®. Why?

A: As mentioned prior, amino acids can compete for muscle cell receptors. They can also compete for GI uptake and digestion. Some studies support glutamine and BCAAs are examples but there is far more to the issue.

Metabolism of oral/dietary amino acids by the gut and liver has a major impact on the amino acid profi le reaching systemic (whole body) circulation. Specifi c examples include removal of nearly 100% of dietary glutamine and glutamate, 60% of threonine, and 40% of phenylalanine during the absorption process largely by oxidative degradation (degradation to carbon/ glucose, ammonia and uric acid). The top exceptions to this pattern of modifi cations are the BCAAs. Over 80% of dietary content of leucine, valine, and isoleucine directly makes their way to blood circulation. Unfortunately, once they make it to muscle cells and the brain (other organs as well) they are easily converted into glucose and glycogen (sugar) due to several physiological action/reaction factors. Unless, of course, they are in a protected time-release anti-catabolic/anabolic matrix.

1) Hyperammonemia is an over-abundance of ammonia in the body resulting from the breakdown of amino acids to ammonia and glucose (gluconeogenesis for energy) which in turn increases the utilization of branched-chain amino acids in muscle. This is especially prominant when ketoglutarate is low, and is further enhanced by glutamine depletion. Sounds like more glutamine would be cool then, huh? (At the right time… it is)

Unfortunately not only is glutamine the most abundant amino acid, it’s also the most abundant gluconeogenic amino acid in the human body. In fact its conversion to glucose is about equal to that of alanine. The kidneys alone produce about 25% of whole body glucose production… from glutamine. Now ponder the additional amount converted to glucose in muscles and other organs then consider just how much circulatory and muscle bound ammonia waste results. Now think about reconsidering the first paragraph again: More ammonia (hyperammonemia) means more BCAAs utilized for energy in/by muscle resulting in lean mass loss. Therefore, a signifi cant increase in blood glutamine concentration can signal hyperammonemia and thus increased BCAA/lean muscle loss.

You know that ammonia smell you run into all over the gym? Yup, that is the smell of muscle loss. Is it you?

2) Tyrosine, which increases levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, is also one of our substrates for glutamine. Tyrosine competes with BCAAs absorption into the brain and low tyrosine can cause loss of energy, fatigue and depression. Since glutamine is a substrate of tyrosine, ingesting BCAAs and glutamine together potentially hinders performance as well resulting in lower intensity and less productive training or performances.

3) An interesting study on BCAAs aff ects upon fatigue was conducted in Japan: First Department of Internal Medicine, Okayama University Medical School, 5-1, 2-chome, Shikata-cho, 700 Okayama, Japan.

The molar ratio of excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters (glutamate and aspartate) to inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitters (raminobutyric acid, GABA, and glycine) in the brain was diminished in acute hepatic failure rats with hyperammonemia, brain edema, and abnormal electroencephalograms. The ratio was further decreased with a marked elevation of arterial and brain ammonia levels 30 min after ammonium acetate was administered i.p. to hepatic failure rats. A continuous infusion of a branched chain amino acid (BCAA) solution before and after the ammonia loading eff ectively reversed the ammoniainduced lowering of this ratio; high ammonia contents in the brain were concomitantly decreased. Infusing glutamate instead of the BCAA solution failed to produce similar eff ects probably because of limited entry of glutamate into the brain. The above results suggest that excitatory and inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitter ratios (glutamate, aspartate, and GABA) are positively aff ected by BCAAs. In short, BCAA supplementation reduced brain/physical fatigue.

So more muscle and better performance if we simply don’t mix glutamine with BCAAs.Glutamine is paramount to health and recovery, but timing is everything.

Q: Does Chain’d Out® Contain Any Sugars? I’m on a Keto Diet.

A: No, and more importantly it’s far more diffi cult for alpha-hydroxy-ester protected BCAAs to convert by way of gluconeogenesis to glucose resulting in greater fat stores being used as energy substrates. By adding anti-stress and anti-cortisol compounds to the Chain’d Out® matrix the normal triggers of gluconeogenesis are reduced thus allowing for increased anabolism. Kind of cool, huh? Many who have added a serving of Chain’d Out® to their morning cardio have noted the obvious increase in fat loss yet commented on increased lean mass.

Chain’d Out® is the best selling BCAA product in Austrailia and New Zealand. Get the world’s only time release anabolic BCAA matrix… at ½ the price of “average” products. Now that’s more bang for your buck! Why settle for average? Gain lean mass now!
