Vapor-XT™
Throughout history we have witnessed the rise and fall of many legends. At some
point all the greats “peak out” and fall, yet at the same time, a new legend
arises from the ashes. Records are shattered, superlatives are eclipsed and a
new legend is born. In the world of thermogenic fat burners this has never been
so true. Ephedra and more specifically, the ECA stack, was undoubtedly the
legend of its time. Since its fall many have promised such results, yet never
delivered the same effects.
Introducing Vapor-XT
Vapor-XT provides a simple, yet powerful blend of ingredients designed to fill
this void. Vapor-XT does not hide the ingredients behind some veil of secrecy
known as the proprietary blend. It provides a simple yet targeted approach with
key ingredients in precise amounts so results are delivered.
The first of three key ingredients in Vapor-XT is an ingredient known by the
name Halostachine™. Halostachine, also known as N-methylphenylethanolamine, is a
potent beta adrenergic agonist similar in structure and activity to ephedrine.
Beta-receptors, particularly Beta-3 play an integral role in stimulating the
release of fatty acids from the adipocytes. This is a key step in the
thermogenic pathways and one that must be invoked for fat loss to occur.
Halostachine is found naturally in rye grass and also produced exogenously in
mammals and standardized from the plant Halostachys caspica. Furthermore, it is
a natural metabolite of phenylethylamine, which is found naturally in cocoa
beans. Halostachine has pharmacological action similar to ephedrine but is
slightly less potent and believed to be much safer. Halostachine is less toxic
than ephedrine, with an LD50 twice that of ephedrine, 500 mg/kg ip vs 242 mg/kg
sp which gives an indication of the relative toxicity of this ingredient
compared to other similar products. Anecdotal testing of Halostachine suggests
that it is actually more effective than ephedrine, giving it a much better
therapeutic index (efficacious dose)/(toxic dose). A paper by Shannn, Cone and
Yousefnejad demonstrated no significant increases in heart rate with
Halostachine administration – even when administered intravenously at doses of
several multiples of those proposed for supplemental use.
The other two key ingredients found in new Vapor-XT are caffeine and white
willow bark, two of the original key components in the original ECA stack.
Anyone that has ever ingested caffeine knows its effects, increased energy,
increased thermogenesis, etc… The effects of Caffeine are quite frankly, common
knowledge so let’s just take a peek at some key pertinent studies. The science
behind caffeine is well documented and its street credibility undeniable.
Looking specifically at thermogenesis, a study just published by Belza looked at
the acute thermogenic response to caffeine ingestion. Thermogenesis, the key
indicator of overall metabolic rate, was measured for a period of 4-hrs after
the ingestion of caffeine. Results showed a six percent greater level of
thermogenesis over the course of the treatment period. This kind of elevation is
certainly of key interest to those waging war on unwanted bodyfat.
Additionally caffeine has shown to be extremely beneficial on exercise
performance and maximizing intense training. In one study looking at the
ingestion of caffeine on peak power output, caffeine supplementation increased
Peak Power output by 6.7%. These 14 individuals consumed 250 mg of caffeine
prior to exercise. In terms of the raw data, Peak Power in the placebo group was
only 903.7 watts whereas after caffeine ingestion it was 964 watts. Imagine all
those extra fat burning reps enhanced by caffeine ingestion.
The last ingredient in this thermogenic trio is white willow bark as a source
for salicin which converts to salicylic acid in the body. This particular
ingredient by itself has never been shown to have any thermogenic activity. So
by itself it probably wouldn’t prove to be overly useful in shedding bodyfat.
However, when combined with other agents that have thermogenic activity its
effects are pronounced. White willow bark, through certain pathways involving
prostaglandins and other messaging systems, may help to increase and extend the
thermogenic activity of the other compounds in the formula.
So there you have it. Vapor-XT represents a critical shift in the way you’ve
looked at thermogenics. Delivering two highly-powerful thermogenics, coupled
with a compound designed to extend the physiological life of the product and
help keep fat burning going strong. Simple, powerful and effective –Vapor-XT.
Advancing Muscle Science
Advanced Muscle Science, known for their redefining work with muscle-building
components, funneled their expertise and resources toward making an impactful,
relevant fat-burning formula. Always looking to advance the pursuit of the lean,
muscular physique, AMS once again advances the science and changes the game with
Vapor-XT.
