For years, competitive bodybuilders and dedicated fitness enthusiasts alike had a secret weapon in their supplementation arsenal that optimized their bodily processes for increased training volumes and growth potential, then helped then preserve and maintain those muscle mass gains. That technology, once called Cytodyne AAC, is still helping countless athletes transform their physiques today — and its name is Aminodrol.
Aminodrol’s key active ingredient is a specialized form _of carnitine called L-carnitine L-tartrate that has always been associated with support of one of the muscle cell's most important tasks — transporting fatty acids to muscle cell mitochondria where they are used to produce _energy in the form of ATP.
But L-carnitine L-tartrate also performs another invaluable function, this one related to testosterone bioavailability and subsequent muscle mass support. Specifically, evidence exists to suggest that LCLT may help facilitate increased uptake of testosterone by promoting the expression of androgen (testosterone) receptors in skeletal muscle tissue.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study conducted at the University of Connecticut, researchers supplemented test subjects with LCLT. They found that three weeks of carnitine supplementation led to a significant increase in resting (pre-exercise) androgen receptor content compared to placebo (1 Kraemer). _A complimentary study showed that LCLT supplement-_ation reduced exercise-induced muscle tissue damage after squatting exercise (2 Volek).
Once Aminodrol has primed your body for optimum training volume and growth potential by maximally supporting energy production, hormone utilization, and endurance, it supplies additional co-factors to support recovery and help you preserve the gains you've made.
Precision-targeted dosages of the essential BCAAs leucine, isoleucine and valine, plus glutamine, help jump-start recovery immediately post-workout. Meanwhile, taurine helps to optimize cellular hydration and maximize muscle function and may help prevent significant reductions in muscle breakdown by decreasing catabolic 3-methylhistidine production in the muscle cell.
Finally, phosphatidylserine and inositol for added protection from our body's most catabolic hormone — cortisol.
