Fusion is a technological breakthrough from Reflex Nutrition and our
partners in New Zealand. Resulting work both in New Zealand and in
the U.K have enabled full-scale production of a protein product that
provides unmatched levels of growth factors and immunoglobins. Fusion
is designed to promote increased gains in lean mass and strength that
are not commonly associated with most whey protein products. Fusion
is an industry first by providing 10,000mgs of New Zealand Dairy
Colostrum per serving - a complex mixture of growth factors and
immunoglobins.
In a recent study(1) the equivalent of just two servings of Fusion
a day were shown to provide superior gains in lean mass when compared
to whey protein. This is almost certainly the result of colostrum's
proven ability to raise IgF-1 levels in trained athletes(2). A
detailed analysis of Colostrum's indicates the powerful potential:
Colostrum's Components: Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 and 2 Bovine(Cow)
Colostrum contains one of the highest sources of IgF-1 found in
nature, both bovine and human growth factors have demonstrated
anabolic ability to stimulate protein synthesis and inhibit protein
breakdown. Transforming Growth Factors Of special interest because of
their ability to promote normal cell growth and proliferation, tissue
repair and wound healing. TfG's have up to 100 times more potency
than those found in human Colostrum. IgG Stimulates phagocytosis to
neutralise toxins. IgA Helps protect mucosal linings of the
gastro-intestinal tract and reduce viral infections IgM Enhances
phagocytosis against micro-organisms. IgD Stimulates B-cells to
produce anti-bodies and reduce allergic and other reactions IgE
Reduces allergic reactions Lactoferrin The iron inhibiting protein
that reduces availability of iron to potentially harmful bacteria,
that need iron for growth. Lactoferrin also has anti-inflammatory
properties to help recover from sore muscles and joints. Interlukins
Research has shown that Colostrum contains Interlukin-2, one of the
cytokine substances that stimulate the cells that make up the immune
system and help reduce the chance of infection. Lysozyme This special
protein is not readily digested, but lives in the gastro-intestinal
tract and prevents the multiplication of harmful bacteria by
destroying their cell walls.
Not only does Fusion provide pure New Zealand Colostrum, but also
contains pure undenatured whey protein concentrates isolates,
complemented further by health promoting pro-biotics and a complete
enzyme complex. Fusion costs a little more than the average whey
protein product, however we think you'll agree that the potential
gains in health, strength and extra muscle far outweigh the small
increase in cost. References: 1.Antonio, J., Sanders, M. and Van
