Train Hard. Do It Again.

For the serious athlete, the ability to bounce back faster and stronger from training, practice or competition separates the winners from every one else. No matter what level you are currently competing at, we know that your goal is to become even better. PROGENEX Recovery enables you to exponentially improve your performance and create all-new “personal bests.”

What is PROGENEX Recovery and How Is It Different?
The active ingredient in PROGENEX Recovery is Promorphogen,™ a whey protein isolate that has been hydrolyzed through a patented enzymatic process. When proteins are hydrolyzed, or “cut” into smaller pieces, the result are unique, tiny peptide sequences that, when consumed, can be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. It is this unique protein sequence that enables PROGENEX Recovery do what no other product can: reset the cause of muscle fatigue at the cellular level.

How much better do athletes perform with PROGENEX Recovery? A university clinical trial demonstrated that athletes who consumed whey protein hydrolysate post workout not only recovered faster, they recovered stronger, than athletes who consumed water or a generic whey protein isolate.

What Can I Expect From PROGENEX Recovery?
• Reach New Goals Faster. When it comes to sports performance or attaining your best composition ever, progress is the name of the game. By taking PROGENEX Recovery immediately after training, you'll be able to do it all again—sooner, which means that you're on the path to improvement.

• Optimize Performance. If your training program or sport requires you to build more muscle, lose fat, or take on multiple workout sessions each week, the ability to come back faster and go stronger means you'll perform better.

• Optimize Body Composition. The ability to get back in the gym sooner and go stronger also means that you'll be able to put in more quality time building muscle and burning fat. And more muscle and less fat is what body composition is all about.

• Get Back in the Game. No one starts off in life as a super athlete, and even the most prolific athletes experience setbacks. PROGENEX Recovery is the only product with the unique ability to get you back in the game, or into the game for the first time, with the best chance of success.

The Science of Muscle Fatigue or “Everything you ever wanted to know about why you feel crushed when you workout”

There’s more to fatigue than simply getting tired. If you train hard enough, you will actually push your muscles to a point of complete fatigue. In other words, you can’t complete another rep. Here’s why:

A muscle contraction does not begin in your muscle fibers—it begins with an electrical impulse in your brain. This electrical impulse is converted to a chemical impulse, which “floats” across a channel where it makes contact with the muscle membrane and is transformed back into an electrical signal.

The electrical signal sweeps across the surface of the cell membrane, and enters the muscle. To get into the muscle cell, the electrical signal must dive into the pores that are on the surface of the cell and travel down tiny channels that stick up through the top surface of the muscle cell and take that energy down into the muscle cell, where the signal reaches a dead end. 

At this dead end is a mechanism that acts as a voltage sensor and another that acts as a transducer. Located near each other, the electrical impulse now causes a reaction that causes the voltage sensor and transducer to work together to open another channel. Once opened, calcium flows up and out of the muscle cell. 

Calcium is what is responsible for making your muscles contract. In other words, without calcium, you could not make any forcible contraction. After a hard training session, however, the whole process gets messed up, and less calcium gets released with each contraction, causing each contraction to get weaker. 

There are two ways to “reset” this fouled mechanism. The first is to wait for Mother Nature to repair the situation. That could take up to 72 hours. The second is to consume a serving of PROGENEX Recovery immediately after training. The active ingredient in PROGENEX Recovery is a powerful, all-natural ingredient that has been shown to accelerate muscle recovery and repair—often in as little as six hours. 

Better still, not only will you recover sooner, you’ll recover stronger. Which means that not only will you get back to your training regimen sooner, you’ll get to it more often, for faster strength and performance gains.

Train hard. Then do it again. Only with PROGENEX Recovery.

When You Want to Build More Muscle, You Need PROGENEX More Muscle.

Building lean muscle mass is a goal for athletes and bodybuilders alike. Interestingly, that “muscle building” activity works in exactly the same manner for everyone—no matter your ultimate goal.

How Muscle Is Created:
Did you know that your muscle cells lost their ability to copy their own DNA before you were born?  In other words, your muscle fibers are no longer able to produce "daughter cell" copies of themselves.  So how do your muscles get bigger and stronger? Two ways: 

• Simple enlargement of your existing fibers, driven by hormones, growth factors, nutrition and exercise

• Stimulation of satellite cells. These groups of baby muscle cells are strategically located in the tissue bed immediately outside your existing muscle fibers.

Old-Fashioned Muscle Enlargement is Good; Satellite Cells Are Even Better

Satellite cells lie outside your existing muscle fibers. Multiple weight training sessions weekly (or trauma) activates these cells, causing them to divide to create more specialized muscle cells. Over time, these cells have one of two options: go back to an inert, or inactive state, or commit to become a new, fully functioning muscle fiber. 

When satellite cells commit to becoming new muscle fiber, you’ve ADDED to your existing foundation of muscle fibers, not just made the fibers you have larger. Doing both: adding to your existing muscle fibers AND growing your existing fibers—are what will give you significant gains in muscle size and strength.

Don’t All Whey Proteins Work the Same Way?
In a word, no. Our products feature whey protein-derived growth factors, which are concentrated up to several hundred fold times the levels found in regular whey proteins. The whey growth factors such as those found in PROGENEX More Muscle have been shown to significantly enhance muscle growth and strength responses.

Don’t get us wrong, whey protein is a great source of nutrition for athletes looking for a high quality source of protein. However, PROGENEX More Muscle is NOT simply a whey protein. It is a highly refined whey protein derivative—mined from a patented process that extracts the tiniest protein fractions from millions of gallons of non-fat milk. It is this rare ingredient, Promyosin,™ that powers More Muscle, and its limited supply is why we only offer More Muscle direct to you. It simply cannot be mass-produced.

How Does PROGENEX More Muscle Work?

Most protein supplements are made of either milk-based whey proteins that are highly concentrated or hydrolyzed, or a blended combination of milk proteins such as whey and casein isolates, concentrates or hydrolysates. Any of these protein products work well for improving protein balance, but all of them fall short when it comes to driving new muscle growth at the cellular level.
Promyosin™ HD, the active ingredient in PROGENEX More Muscle, is several hundred times more potent than any commercially available whey protein. 

Promyosin acts as a chemical messenger that directly affects muscle growth by stimulating the satellite muscle cells that lie outside of your mature muscle fibers. This is quite exciting because it offers you many new possibilities. That’s because research in exercise science has shown that approximately 75-80% of the increases in muscle size that can be achieved through weight training are the result of these satellite muscle cells being stimulated to become active muscle fibers. By stimulating a higher proportion of these satellite cells, you are, in conjunction with your training, able to build more new muscle.

Why the Added BCAAs?

Branched chain amino acids are essential to muscle integration following training. With PROGENEX More Muscle, you get 20% more of these—including leucine—than in any whey protein isolate on the market. This is important, because the leucine content of whole proteins is directly related to how much protein your body will integrate into muscle. What’s more, you cannot achieve this effect simply by adding extra leucine—it must be carefully calibrated to achieve this effect.

When combined with Promyosin, which stimulates your satellite muscle cells, your muscles receive both the stimulation and the protein “food” that encourages them to become fully functioning mature muscle fibers. 

In other words, you build lean muscle mass. And then some.
