ULTRA is a highly specialised collagen peptide, that has been shown to decrease fat mass, increase lean body mass and to provide more muscle strength in combination with resistance training. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eULTRA Protein has positive effects on two main components of the human body: lean body mass and fat mass. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLean body mass, also called fat free mass, comprises mainly muscle mass but also bone mass, connective tissue and body water. Muscles are essential for physical activity, stability and posture, they enable blood circulation and help during the digestion of food. A loss of muscle mass over the course of life time means a loss of mobility, which is followed by a loss of independence and a loss of quality of life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe BODY PROTEIN mechanism:\u003cbr\u003eThe exact mechanism of ULTRA suggest that the mode of action is based on the multifactorial impact on various metabolic processes and the overall functional unit of muscle: e.g. muscle and fat metabolism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecent investigations revealed, ULTRA significantly stimulates the mTOR pathway. Availability and activity of this key protein are essential for the protein metabolism. The protein metabolism ensures the balance between protein synthesis and protein degradation. More synthesis than breakdown indicates an anabolic state that builds lean tissues. \u003cbr\u003eA higher breakdown than synthesis indicates a catabolic state that decreases lean tissues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eULTRA influences the fat metabolism:\u003cbr\u003eA sufficient energy supply is mandatory for the proliferation of muscle cells and the synthesis of new muscle tissue. The AMPK enzyme is responsible for the energy transfer in the muscle cells. The stimulation of AMPK leads to an increase in fatty acid metabolism, which provides more energy for the cells and results in a reduction of fat mass. Due to its specific amino acid composition and its excellent bioavailability, ULTRA stimulates fat and muscle metabolisms, finally leading to an improved body composition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStudies confirm the efficacy of ULTRA Protein\u003cbr\u003eSeveral randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded studies have demonstrated the efficacy and potential of the daily intake of 15 grams ULTRA Protein in combination with resistance training. In the latest studies, the effect of post-exercise supplementation on lean body mass, fat mass and muscle strength in combination with resistance training was tested. \u003cbr\u003eOne Hundred and fourteen (114) healthy, physically inactive men, aged 35-60 participated. The primary outcome was to compare 15 grams of ULTRA Protein supplementation with a placebo. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChanges in body composition were measured by DXA scans. DXA represents the “Gold Standard” in body composition measurement. Total body scans using DXA give a precise measurement of body composition, including bone mass, lean body mass and fat mass. In addition, muscle strength, waist circumference and various blood parameters were determined. \u003cbr\u003eThe results of the primary endpoint of the study revealed a statistically significant increase in lean body mass after ULTRA Protein supplementation compared to placebo. The positive effect was also reflected in the results of the secondary study criteria. ULTRA Protein treatment led to an improved muscle strength, a reduction of waist circumference and a statistically significant fat mass reduction, after ULTRA intake. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"blom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46499774988512,"sku":"ULT-1-300","price":449.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/4917\/7312\/files\/FFCF3F0D-0E8F-40A9-A874-3DA295282C53.jpg?v=1784843013"},{"product_id":"genologix-he-him-30-day-sexual-enhancer","title":"HE | HIM 120s | Genologix","description":"\u003cp\u003e2100mg (30 servings x 120 capsules)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenologix HE | HIM is a powerful male libido booster, formulated with highly effective amino acids and herbal extracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenologix HE | HIM contains a FULL MONTHS SUPPLY of a blend of five incredibly effective libido-enhancing ingredients which provides you with a boost in the bedroom.
