What sets ALRI’s Chain’d Out® apart from other BCAA products on the market is exactly this: Chain’d Out®’s Alpha-Hydroxy ester-protected BCAA’s greatly avoid the normal BCAA conversion to blood sugar… it’s called “gluconeogenesis” — even when dieting or during cardio. In addition, ALRI’s Alpha-Hydroxy technology supports a much longer half-life of the all-important nutrients found in Chain’d Out®’s BCAAs (resulting in more lean muscle & better recovery times). By avoiding the normal conversion of BCAAs to glucose, your body gets 47-60% more of Chain’d Out® BCAAs when compared to regular BCAAs. Translation: More muscle, quicker recovery. Use less, get more! So, does Chain’d Out® convert to sugar? We know the Alpha-Hydroxy ester-protected BCAA’s greatly avoids this conversation, as proven in a CLINICAL STUDY comparing Chain’d Out® to another leading BCAA brand. However we want YOU to make that decision. Don’t trust marketing, trust yourself. Take a blood glucose test before and after like in the study and see for yourself how Chain’d Out® will positively affect your blood glucose! SUPPLEMENT FACTS   THE SCIENCE Chain’d Out® – Performance Enhancement with Branch Chain Amino Acids The true value of BCAAs is well established both in literature and in real world application. Never being satisfied with simply good or even just excellent, ALR Industries has taken BCAAs to the ultimate level for mind-blowing effects. ALR decided to turn the power way up on “anabolic drive” with Chain’d Out®. Chain’d Out® utilizes Alpha-Hydroxy Technology to increase systemic bioavailability and lean tissue utilization by 47-60% thus making ALR’s precise formula more rapidly-effective with a smaller dosage when compared to “standard” products in the marketplace. Even more important is that the Alpha-Hydroxy ester-protected BCAA’s greatly avoid gluconeogenesis (the breakdown to glucose for regular caloric utilization or fat storage) even when dieting, or during periods of stress (cardio, etc.). Add to this Chain’d Out®’s technology that increases the half-life of these all-important nutrients resulting in more muscle and faster recovery. If you paid for BCAAs, why are you getting 47-60% sugar? Click HERE for the Chain’d Out® Blood Sugar Impact Study for complete information. Chain’d Out® contains structurally unique non-hormonal plant origin Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) Leucine, Valene and Isoleucine, which are derived from the assimilation of proteins. BCAAs activate key enzymes and genetic factors in protein synthesis before, during and after physical exercise. BCAAs, specifically Leucine, have potent anabolic effects on protein metabolism by increasing the rate of protein synthesis in lean tissue and decreasing the rate of protein degradation in resting human muscle. Some “protected” BCAA structures just do it far better than others. The scientifically-engineered formula within Chain’d Out® is reinforced with the addition of potent anti-catabolic agents, anabolic co-factors and contains significant mood enhancing, plus energizing ingredients to support: An incredible synergistic boost to the pro-anabolic drive† Focused energy and mood elevation (without any jitters or negative stimulant qualities)† Improved strength, endurance, stamina and recovery† Optimized vasodilation and nutrient utilization† Enhanced oxygenation and fights stress, fatigue as well as other counterproductive body processes† ALR Industries has taken the science of adaptogens well beyond anything seen before. Chain’d Out® is clearly the most comprehensive and dominating BCAA formula on the market. You can actually see and feel the ALR difference from the first time you include Chain’d Out® in your day’s performance needs.   †These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Is this true? A: OK, we’re going to say this again because, it IS that important! What sets ALR’s Chain’d Out® apart from other BCAA products on the market is exactly this: Chain’d Out®’s Alpha-Hydroxy ester-protected BCAA’s greatly avoid gluconeogenesis (the breakdown and conversion to glucose for regular caloric utilization or fat storage) — even when dieting or during cardio. In addition, ALR’s Alpha-Hydroxy technology greatly increases the half-life of the all-important nutrients found in Chain’d Out®s BCAAs (resulting in more lean muscle & faster recovery) – AND increases systemic bioavailability and lean tissue utilization by up to 47-60% thus making ALRI’s precise formula more rapidly-effective with a smaller dosage when compared to “standard” products in the marketplace. Translation: More muscle, quicker recovery. Use less, get more! So, does Chain’d Out® convert to sugar? We know the Alpha-Hydroxy ester-protected BCAA’s greatly avoid this conversation, as proven in this brief CLINICAL STUDY however we want YOU to make that decision. Don’t trust marketing, trust yourself. Take a blood sugar test before and after like in the study and see for yourself how Chain’d Out® will positively affect your blood glucose! Q: Can Chain’d Out® be taken with HumaPro®? A: HumaPro® and Chain’d Out® are the powerhouse of “perfect couples”; working synergistically to support healthy lean muscle tissue and through nutrient repartitioning, avoid gluconeogenesis (conversion of amino acids to sugar) & help maintain healthy blood glucose levels! We at ALR Industries develop products that are not only backed by science and clinical & medical trials, but products that will help you feel, perform and be at your healthiest. Q: What’s the best time to take Chain’d Out®? A: Chain’d Out® can be enjoyed at any time of day or night – however the most important times would be pre & intra work out and especially during cardio, to help with hydration, stamina, nutrient utilization, energy levels, and to help speed recovery. Chain’d Out®’s superior formula provides a synergistic boost to the pro-anabolic drive and becomes even more effective during calorie-restrictive periods such as training, cardio, calorie restriction due to dieting and stress.   †These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Chain'd-Reaction®- The Ultimate (BCAA) Branched Chain Amino Acid Tripeptides & Recovery Aid for Muscle Growth!* Chain'd-Reaction® is an advanced post-workout performance supplement specifically formulated to help your body recover from the extreme physical demands of high-intensity workouts. Ideal for elite athletes and hardcore bodybuilders, Chain'd-Reaction®, can also help weekend warriors and beginners. Chain'd-Reaction® is an incredible breakthrough in the supplementation of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) and recovery aids for muscle growth and repair after grueling training sessions. Most marketing companies hype some different ratios of BCAA's or mix in inferior amino acids to make you feel like you are getting "more aminos." APS Nutrition utilizes the scientifically-proven 2:1:1 ratio but stands out from the crowd significantly in two ways -     (1)    Chain'd-Reaction®  is an ultra-concentrated BCAA formula that delivers a "proprietary" tripeptide and ultra-micronization BCAA. Chain'd-Reaction®  also contains in a time releasing matrix of L-Leucine to the muscles faster and for longer periods of time than typical BCAA products. APS Nutrition always known for its innovation has "turned the BCAA category on its head!"    (2)    Chain'd-Reaction®  utilizes the transport of peptides into cells, that is a well-documented biological phenomenon, which is accomplished by specific energy-dependent transporters found in a number of organisms such as amino acids.  The amino acid/peptide transporter family of proteins was uncovered by sequence analysis of a number of recently discovered peptide transport proteins. The protein shows a distinct preference for tripeptides composed of L-amino acids, and discriminates dipeptides on the basis of the position of charges within the substrate.   SUPPLEMENT FACTS THE SCIENCE Glutathione is an important tripeptide present in significant concentrations in all tissues. It contains glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. What is unusual about the structure of glutathione Instead of the usual backbone, the carboxyl acid "side chain" is part of the backbone peptide structure. The normal carboxyl group is the so called” side chain” in this case. Glutathione is your body’s most powerful antioxidant and has even been called “the master antioxidant”. It is a tripeptide found inside every single cell in your body. Scientists know that strenuous and/or prolonged exercise deplete glutathione. In fact, this is one cause for the fatigue that comes with exercise.  However, it has other effects that are even less helpful. It aids the body, in producing the extra energy or ATP (adenosine triphosphate) needed for vigorous exercise, produces many more singlet oxygen atoms or free radicals.  Cleaning these up uses up the body’s reserves of glutathione. It takes some time for the body to regenerate or synthesize more glutathione, so the person becomes tired while some damage occurs inside the cells as a result of the presence of too many free radicals or singlet oxygen atoms. Chain'd-Reaction® features advanced Setria® Glutathione, a "reduced" form your body can recognize and readily absorb. Chain'd-Reaction®  is able to achieve the anabolic BCAA ratio by combining Pharmaceutical-Grade tripeptide-form of  L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine amino acids along with L-Glutamine and other Anabolic Agents for maximum muscle-building performance. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anti-catabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and muscle building effects. Recent university research shows that Leucine enriched beverages consumed with exercise synergistically activate and prolong activity of the mTOR signaling pathway, which increases muscle anabolic potential (muscle growth). The mTOR pathway is the "trigger" that signals the very genesis of muscle protein synthesis.*Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are so called because of their structure, which includes a “side chain” of one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms. There are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Of these, leucine is the most heavily researched, and appears to offer the biggest physiological benefit. For the technical geeks, these hydrophobic (water-fearing) amino acids are referred to as “aliphatic” (from the Greek aleiphar, or oil), as their central carbon attaches to a branched non-cyclic, open carbon chain. (See BCAA structure below)BCAAs provide the basis for protein synthesis and energy. In fact, BCAAs can comprise up to one-third of muscle protein. Because of their prevalence and involvement in protein synthesis and energy production, BCAAs are important to many metabolic processes. However, if BCAAs are going to be meaningful in these processes, they must be available to the body. This means we have to eat enough BCAAs, and at the right times, to enable such processes to occur.L- Glutamine represents over 60% of the amino acid content in the amino acid pool of muscle tissue. Intense training and exercise put greater demands on your body's need for Glutamine, making it a conditionally essential amino acid. Chain'd-Reaction®  micronized L-Glutamine represents a leap forward in Glutamine supplementation. Chain'd-Reaction®  uses a state-of-the- art particle micronization technology called Micro-Rx™. Each tiny particle of Chain'd-Reaction®  is 20 times smaller than regular Glutamine powder. This allows for ultra fast absorption and utilization. Glutamine is the most common amino acid in the body and is key to the metabolism and maintenance of muscle tissue. Glutamine is also the highest concentrated amino acid in the muscle cell and acts as a primary shuttle for nitrogen from the bloodstream to inside the muscle cell, which is essential for the support of muscle tissue and growth hormone elevation.Enter....Chain'd-Reaction® when combined with regular exercise are designed to support:    •    Protein Synthesis / Anabolism*    •    Anti-Catabolism / Muscle Sparing*    •    Glycogen Resynthesis*    •    Helps Preserve Lean Muscle*    •    Rebuild Muscle & Recover Faster*    •    Increase Growth Hormone*Chain'd-Reaction® provides a tripeptide of the essential branched chain amino acids: L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. During times of metabolic stress (such as high intensity exercise), BCAAs may become fuel for your muscles and help aid in protein synthesis and prevent catabolism (muscle breakdown). L-Leucine, in conjunction with exercise, may activate the mTOR pathway that supports muscle growth. To drastically increase the efficacy of BCAA delivery in Chain'd-Reaction®, these powerful, muscle building agents are continually dispersed into the muscular environment utilizing a two-pronged, sustained-release delivery mechanism that consists of APS's Micro-Rx™ and Extend-Rx™ technologies- manufacturing know-how previously beyond the scope of the sports nutrition industry. The unique combination of these controlled dispersion, "agglomeration-like" technologies produces rapid disintegration of the BCAA and Glutamine compounds, whose highly micronized particles are more quickly and completely digested (without stomach upset or digestive disturbance) on their way to becoming available to the body's muscle-making machinery. Favorable Anabolic/Anti-Catabolic changes then accelerate and enhance the uptake of BCAA's and anabolic agents, which leads to increased  Protein Synthesis / Anabolism, Anti- Catabolism / Muscle Sparing, Supporting Muscle Growth and Endurance, Glycogen Resynthesis, Helps Preserve Lean Muscle, Increases Growth Hormone and Helps Rebuild Muscle & Recover Faster.*Advances in Nutraceutical sports chemistry have resulted in compounds that target a variety of pathways to develop muscle mass and strength. There are now non-hormonal, highly anabolic compounds that zero-in on the juncture of protein chain assembly within muscle cells for more rapid protein synthesis. There are compounds designed to seize the "window of opportunity" in which muscle cells demonstrate a high affinity for the uptake of muscle-building compounds. This "window of opportunity" opens at the onset of intense muscular contraction and remains open until a short period immediately after training. Pre-workout supplements are designed to target the initial phase of the "window of opportunity" by providing muscles with compounds that allow them to sustain the level of muscular contraction required to complete a high intensity workout. Likewise, post-workout supplements target the next phase of the "window of opportunity" that occurs immediately after training in which depleted, wounded muscles are crying out for compounds that will replenish them with the muscle cell constituents needed to optimize recovery and promote growth of new muscle tissue. The result is the replenishment of the key compounds that produce hydration of muscle cells. Protein synthesis is enhanced due to Amino acids being shuttled more efficiently into the muscles. These events halt protein catabolism and accelerate protein anabolism. The outcome is muscle preservation and new muscular growth. APS Nutrition speaks natural sports supplement chemistry, which means that if muscle is your game, then Chain'd-Reaction® is your real end-game! SUGGESTED USE As a dietary supplement, mix 2 level scoops (12g) in 12 oz of water and mix well, 1-3 times daily.

No other supplement is designed like this one. Perfect for bodybuilders and athletes looking to increase their strength, improve endurance, and performance. Formulated with electrolytes and patented with L-alanyl-L-glutamine to produce a better BCAA. The ultimate supplement to take throughout your workout to release unmatched endurance and performance. An exclusive 8:1:1 leucine, isoleucine, valine BCAA ratio, and a unique no-caffeine, ultra-micronized formula defies every other BCAA supplement in the market. Essential amino acids are those that cannot be synthesized by the body and must therefore be supplied in the foods and supplements we consume. Of all EAAs, the branched-chain amino acids — leucine, isoleucine, and valine — have received the most attention as bodybuilding supplements because they make up approximately one-third of muscle protein. They are released from skeletal muscle and catabolized (broken down) during exercise and in cases of injury to be used for energy and tissue repair. Early studies showed that supplementing with BCAAs slows catabolism during exercise and boosts anabolism during recovery.
