BetaTOR – Your Competitive Edge

Increase Strength and Power, Recover Faster

 

Performance-driven athletes immerse themselves in highly intense workout regimens to improve their strength, power, endurance, and results. To ensure elite performance, competitive athletes need to optimize the time and effort invested in training. Reducing recovery time between workouts is critical to mapping out a strategic training schedule. Enter BetaTOR.

           

Intense training, especially overtraining, breaks down muscle fibers. BetaTOR is a highly efficient and unique dietary supplement ingredient that simultaneously increases muscle protein synthesis and reduces muscle protein breakdown. This dual mechanism is absolutely key for athletes looking to maximize their intense training sessions and see that benefit in competitive performance.

 

BetaTOR, scientifically known as beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB free acid), is a natural metabolite of the BCAA leucine. It aids in increasing muscle protein by acting on both of the metabolic pathways of protein balance. BetaTOR stimulates muscle protein synthesis through the mTOR pathway while simultaneously decreasing muscle protein breakdown by decreasing the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway. With BetaTOR you will increase strength and power, improve body composition, and recover faster after intense training.

 

Benefits of BetaTOR

Strength gains. Strength gains are maximized with the use of BetaTOR. A meta-analysis of training studies show BetaTOR supplementation results in increased strength gain.

 

Faster recovery. BetaTOR blunts muscle damage during rigorous exercise by minimizing protein breakdown. This allows for maximal intensity in the next strenuous activity.

 

Improved endurance. BetaTOR increases maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and improves respiratory compensation point (RCP) to help athletes tolerate high-intensity activity over a long period of time.

 

Muscle-Building Power, Backed by Science

With BetaTOR, performance-driven consumers and hardcore athletes can both realize the serious benefits that have been reported in peer-reviewed journals.

 

Boosts muscle protein synthesis through activation of mTOR.“…in the presence of HMB, phosphorylation of mTOR, p70S6k, and 4E-BP1 was increased, and inactive 4E-BP1-eIF4E complex was reduced, whereas the active eIF4G•eIF4E complex was increased, suggesting continual stimulation of protein synthesis.” (Eley et al. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab `293:E923-E931, 2007)

 

Improves strength gains from resistance training by 41%. “When expressed as percent gain per week, HMB caused a net increase of 1.4%/week (CI: 0.41–2.39%, P < 0.01).” (Nissen and Sharp. J Appl Physiol 94:651-659, 2003)

 

Improves body composition. “Body fat between pretest and HMB significantly decreased by an average of 7.3% (0.9% body fat, P < 0.05).” (Neighbors et al. Med & Sci in Sports & Exerc 32:S60, 2000)

 

Improves endurance by increasing maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) by 85%.“VO2max increased significantly more in the HMB group than in the placebo group

(+8.4 +/- 0.9 % for placebo group and +15.5 +/- 1.8 % for HMB group).”(Lamboley et al. Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab 17:56-69, 2007)

 

Improves recovery by reducing damage associated with exercise. In endurance exercise, “… the HMB group experienced a significantly lower CPK response compared with the placebo group over the 4 days after the prolonged run (P = 0.05).” (Knitter et al. J Appl Physiol 89:1340-1344, 2000)

 

In resistance exercise,“… there was a significantly lower increase in serum CPK (an indicator of muscle-cell membrane damage)… with HMB supplementation (HMB effect P = 0.01).” (Jówko et al. Nutrition 17:558-566, 2001)
