Biotest Powerdrive supplement information
Up until now, bodybuilding science has spent all of its time trying to
conquer the body while ignoring the brain. The trouble is, everything
is controlled by the brain, and we're not just talking about memory or
creativity or feelings of well being, either. The brain controls how well
your muscles work. Ever wonder how some relatively weak-looking guys can
rip apart phone books or bend steel rods in half? A lot of it has to do
with muscle motor unit recruitment.
Muscles are made up of individual motor units and some people are gifted
in that they're able to recruit more of these motor units when it comes
to performing an act of strength.
Biotest Power Drive is designed to help you recruit more of these motor
units so that you experience an almost immediate gain in strength and
endurance. And, over the long run, this enhanced ability to recruit motor
units results in bigger muscles. It stands to reason that, under normal
circumstances, the average weight trainer doesn't even begin to work a
good percentage of his or her muscle fibers. In effect, these fibers "sit
by" during an average workout and receive very little direct stimulation.
Without stimulation or recruitment, they won't respond by growing!
The Biotest Power Drive formula is also designed to improve fat mobilization,
along with concentration, memory, coordination, and endurance. It may,
in some individuals, also increase pain threshold and overall sense of
well-being.
Lastly, Biotest Power Drive may prevent age-related decreases in testosterone
levels. As you age, levels of a neurotransmitter called dopamine decrease,
and this causes an increase in a hormone called prolactin. Unfortunately,
increases in prolactin are accompanied by a decrease in testosterone.
Power Drive may elevate dopamine levels, thus preventing the catabolic
sequence.
Biotest Power Drive's active ingredients are:
L-Tyrosine, which the brain converts to the stimulatory neurotransmitters
dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine (the last two being the famous
"fight or flight" hormones), known collectively as catecholamines.
Approximately 90% of the brain's catecholamines are synthesized directly
from the amino acid tyrosine.
During the early 1980s, MIT scientist Richard Wurtman discovered that
tyrosine, when combined with a catalyst, "enhances performance, improves
subjective vigor, decreases fatigue, diminishes subjective confusion,
and decreases tension and anxiety." Subsequent preliminary studies
performed by Dr. Jeffery Stout of the University of Nebraska found that
tyrosine, when administered about an hour before working out, increased
peak torque by 283% (during a set of 15 bench presses).
In short, the evidence is strong that supplemental tyrosine can improve
performance as well as increase energy levels, along with a host of other
subjective feelings of mental ability and well-being.
Phosphatidylcholine, shown to increase levels of another vital neurotransmitter
known as acetylcholine. This potent neurotransmitter has been implicated
in controlling motor unit recruitment, reflex and reaction times, as well
as memory.
DMAE, a well-known among life-extensionists as a "nootropic,"
or mind-enhancing chemical. Chemically, it works much the same as phosphatidylcholine
by helping increase levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Ginkgo Biloba, an age-old herb that is currently enjoying a streak of
good public relations around the world. Life-extensionists and businessman
enjoy the increased memory and focus supplied by the herb, and it seems
to do this by increasing blood flow to the brain. Power Drive has incorporated
Ginkgo Biloba in its formula for exactly that same reason; to increase
blood flow to the brain, which helps ensure that the other ingredients
in the formula can act optimally.
