Growth Matrix with hydrolysed whey protein and L-leucine Reflex Nutrition has been making sports nutrition supplements for over 10 years. During those 10 years we have reviewed credible research in relation to intense weight training, supplementation and novel recovery strategies which may stimulate protein/muscle synthesis. Our research and development team have translated recent findings and produced a science based product called Growth Matrix. This exciting development is designed as a "post workout only" supplement that is taken immediately after your workout. The active compounds found in Growth Matrix have been the focus of countless scientific studies. Growth Matrix is the first commerically available product to use a new type of hydrolysed whey protein. After trying Growth Matrix you will quickly realise why this may clearly be the most innovative and advanced protein supplement available today. Growth Matrix contains hydrolysed whey protein with a high degree of hydrolysis. Hydrolysed whey protein is whey protein that has been treated with enzymes to break the protein down into smaller peptides and amino acids. All hydrolysed proteins generally taste quite bitter; the bitter taste comes from the high percentage of peptides and amino acids. The upside is the fact that your body can absorb peptides much faster than whole proteins. This is exactly what our researchers wanted to achieve in Growth Matrix, fast, almost immediate absorption of nitrogen.- see nutrition info for peptides in molecular weight. Signalling your muscles via L-Leucine. Growth Matrix contains a massive 7,000mgs of free form L-Leucine for its ability to initiate biological signalling via mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) - in simple terms it's a vital component of Growth Matrix which may trigger increased protein synthesis when combined with hydrolysate protein and carbohydrate when taken after resistance exercise. Contains 1,600mgs of Beta-Alanine per serving & 2,500mgs CREAPURE Creatine per serving. A combination of beta alanine and creatine that could increase muscle carnosine and creatine phosphate levels; the combination of which may provide better resistance to muscle fatigue as shown in scientific studies. Essential electrolytes and glucose polymers. Intense training leads to a loss of essential electrolytes and a reduction in muscle glycogen stores. Growth Matrix provides 55 grams of glucose polymers and added electrolytes to restore the balance as quickly as possible. Each tub of Growth Matrix will last nearly 4 weeks if you train 4-5 days a week; one serving is consumed immediately after training. Growth Matrix is truly state of the art, however the use of high tech nutrients, and the scientific approach, means that the taste is strong. Our research team are well aware of the subjective taste, however they also believe that you will be more than satisfied with the results and therefore the strong taste will be of little consequence.
