Labrada HICA-MAX

Monsters View of Labrada HICA-MAX
If you want to stop DOMS in their track then this is the product for you, HICA is the most recent amino acid to be surrounded with new research relating to augmented muscle development.
During metabolism the Amino Acid L-Leucine is broken down into smaller components. These smaller components are known as ‘metabolites’ of the original compound. HICA is a metabolite of the Amino L-Leucine.
HICA is present when Leucine is burned within the muscle cells. HICA then signals the need to increase the muscles anti-catabolic processes. Recent studies from a Finnish university can be seen below. Team monster love this product and it is well worth a try!


HICA-MAX™
The Most Powerful Non-Steroidal
Muscle Growth Stimulator in Existence!

HICA-MAX™ is a powerful non-hormonal, natural stimulator of ­muscle growth.
HICA-MAX™ chewables contain 100% pharmaceutical grade leucic acid, also known as alpha-hydroxy-isocaproic acid (HICA), a natural metabolite of the branched chain amino acid, leucine.

HICA-MAX™ works by increasing protein synthesis (anabolism), and decreasing muscle protein breakdown (catabolism.) Its mechanism of action has been suggested as an independent mTOR signal transducer, which is a “cell-signaler” for muscle protein synthesis. Leucic acid also interrupts muscle protein breakdown by activating nuclear factor kappa B and inhibiting caspase-8. It may also activate IGF-1, a growth factor that helps age-related decreases in your body’s growth hormone output.
