MAX SCIENCE

STRENGTH
& PHYSIQUE

EVOLVED
BY MATT COOPER, CFNC

A COUPLE of years ago, the

team at Max Muscle Nutrition
introduced a revolutionary new
product for strength, performance,
and physique recomposition that
outperformed every single musclebuilding ingredient to hit the market
in the last two decades. That
product is MaxxTOR and the game
has been changed because of it.
In fact, new science has recently
emerged that further validates the
positive effects of MaxxTOR. Plus,
it's not just for men. Both men and
women can use MaxxTOR along
with a sensible, nutritious diet and
regular exercise to help boost
strength, fat loss, lean muscle mass,
and muscle size and achieve their
fitness goals!

WHATS IN IT?

MaxxTOR is driven by the ingredient

Mediator Phosphatidic Acid, developed
by Chemi Nutra. Phosphatidic Acid (PA)
is one of the most powerful molecular
activators of the mammalian target
of rapamycin (otherwise known as
mTOR) signaling pathway. The protein
enzyme kinase mTOR is the master
regulator of the signaling network
that controls skeletal muscle growth
(muscular hypertrophy) and strength
gains. Research studies have shown
that an elevation in PA activates the
mTOR signaling induced by mechanical
muscle activation (e.g., weightlifting).

With MaxxTOR,
you can effectively
target both
strength goals
and body
recomposition
(lean muscle mass
and fat loss). Who
doesnt want
results like that?

AND, IT IS SAFE!

Most sports nutrition companies do not test finished products to prove

safety and efficacy. Max Muscle is committed to developing sciencebased and high quality products. Our recently published study in the
Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition now validates
both the safety and science of MaxxTOR. Both men and women can
now be sure that this product is safe, works, and is free of any banned
ingredient. Dr. Phil Harvey, Max Muscle's Chief Science Officer

Muscle Nutrition has combined

Mediator Phosphatidic Acid with
other key synergistic ingredients
including leucine, Beta-HydroxyBetaMethylbutyrate (HMB), and vitamin
D3 to deliver the most powerful mTOR
signaling activator ever developed.
MaxxTOR is the ONLY formula that
combines these key ingredients in the
correct, efficacious amounts.
Leucine is an essential branchedchain amino acid and possesses
the most marked anabolic effect
compared to any amino acid on
triggering protein synthesis, muscle
cell growth, and decreasing the rate

of protein breakdown (degradation) in

muscles. Leucine initiates the signaling
of mTOR through upregulation of
gene transcription and translation.
Additionally, leucine has a sparing
effect on muscle glycogen and
decreases lactic acid production.
HMB is a metabolite of leucine.
Numerous research studies have
shown that HMB, in conjunction with
resistance training, increases protein
synthesis, strength gains, and lean
body mass. HMB supports the integrity
of muscle fibers and protects important
contractile proteins in addition to
enhancing recovery by attenuating

exercise induced muscle damage in

both trained and untrained individuals.
Vitamin D3 has been shown to play
an important role on muscle mass and
function and it enhances the stimulating
effect of leucine and insulin on protein
synthesis. Vitamin D3 sensitizes the
Akt/mTOR-dependent pathway to the
stimulating effect of leucine.

According to Escalante, both men

and women who were given Mediator
Phosphatidic Acid in the study
improved their upper body strength,
lower body strength, and lean body
mass compared to the placebo.
The takeaway is this: adding
MaxxTOR to a three-day per week
resistance training program can
positively impact lean body mass, fat
loss, and strength than just exercise
alone. Plus, because MaxxTOR
contains the efficacious dose of
Mediator Phosphatidic Acid AND it
contains the synergistic ingredients of
vitamin D3, leucine, and HMB, it all
adds up to even greater results.

But thats not the end of it. The people

are speaking, too! Take it from the
satisfied, MaxxTOR users themselves.

BACKED BY SCIENCE

In 2013, an 8-week study was

conducted on fit men by the research
team at the University of Tampa.
The study incorporated Mediator
Phosphatidic Acid (PA) combined
with strength training and ultimately
revealed profound results. Subjects
receiving PA all gained lean muscle
mass, lost fat, saw an increase in
barbell bench press strength, and
made gains in their quads.
Because of this study, Max Muscles
very own Chief Science Officer, Dr. Phil
Harvey, developed MaxxTOR and Max
Muscle customers taking it started
seeing great results within two months.
But Dr. Phil wanted to find out
for himself how this product stood
up to rigorous scientific testing and
he also wanted it proven safe and
effective. Therefore, he, along with
Dr. Guillermo Escalante, an assistant
professor of kinesiology at California
State University San Bernardino and
two other colleagues came together
to build upon the University of Tampa
study by conducting their own 8-week
double-blind, placebo-controlled study
on MaxxTOR. Their study, however,
included women. Test subjects were
not allowed to take other supplements,
had to weight train, and they had to
adhere to a healthy diet overseen by a
dietician.

they are happy with the results they

are getting from MaxxTOR. I LOVE
MaxxTOR, said Krista Hanson, 31,
of Emeryville, CA, a customer at Max
Muscle Walnut Creek. This is one
product I cant live without. MaxxTOR
gives me the energy and strength I
need to demolish my workouts at the
gym. I have made impressive gains in
muscle size all while keeping my body
fat low. This is one product I highly
recommend!
MaxxTOR elicits amazing results in
men, too. Former Italian professional
basketball player-turned-fitnessenthusiast Gabriele Brusamarello has
transformed his physique while using
MaxxTOR. I wouldnt have gained all
the muscle mass and stayed this lean
without MaxxTOR, he said.
Gabriele follows a high-intensity
strength training regimen where he is
regularly hitting PRs (personal records)
on lifts. I can really tell the difference;
the strength I get from MaxxTOR is
amazing. All I can say is, it works! he
said.

HOW TO USE IT

Verl LeFlore, 56, of Webster, Texas (a customer

at Max Muscle League City) said he never
works out without his MaxxTOR!

Priscilla Vargas, 34, of Dublin, CA

is a prime example. Introduced to
MaxxTOR by Nick Harrison of Max
Muscle Pleasanton, she began using it
right after her bikini competition. Her
off season necessitated building more
muscle and a strength-focused phase
in her training. By using MaxxTOR,
Ive gained more muscle, increased
my strength, and lost body fat, so Im
happy with the results.
Priscilla is a great example that
women are prime candidates for
MaxxTOR. I would recommend
MaxxTOR to women having a hard
time building muscle, she said. I
love the fact that its drug free! One
hundred percent natural gains are the
best kind, especially when they work!
Priscilla isnt a four-leaf clover
either. Plenty of female customers
from across the nation are saying

MaxxTOR is most effective when

taken on training days doing
resistance exercise, said Dr. Phil. The
requirement is 750 mg of Phosphatidic
Acid, which is the exact dose in
MaxxTOR (5 caps). This dose can be
taken all at once an hour before weight
training or in divided doses (e.g., 3
caps before and 2 after).
Whether your goal is to build
strength, gain muscle, or increase
lean body mass, or all three, MaxxTOR
will allow you to defy your limits! As
always, check with your physician
before starting any new supplement or
workout routine. MS&F
