How long do you have to use Fortagen to be able to see or feel results?

As with any protein supplement, results may vary. However, you may be able to feel or measure an increase in muscle endurance after the first or second time using Fortagen (using the recommended dosage). Meanwhile, you may be able to measure an increase in muscle strength after the first or second week using Fortagen (using the recommended dosage). Week after week, you may experience an increase in muscle mass, strength and endurance, joined with a shortened recovery period after physical activity.

What does the research say about Fortagen?

In two trials, a combination of amino acids, designed for the most anabolic (muscle building) effect were tested. The trials showed lower nitrogen waste than had ever been previously measured, and the trial that measured new muscle development versus control showed a 33% greater muscle growth effect, while body fat was declining (Luca, et al, 1998) (Pasiakos, et al, 2011). Lucà-Moretti, M. (1998). A Comparative, Double-blind, Triple Crossover Net Nitrogen Utilization Study Confirms the Discovery of the Master Amino Acid Pattern. Age (years), 152(176), 41-5. Pasiakos, S. M., McClung, H. L., McClung, J. P., Margolis, L. M., Andersen, N. E., Cloutier, G. J., … & Young, A. J. (2011). Leucine-enriched essential amino acid (EAA) supplementation during moderate steady state exercise enhances post-exercise muscle protein synthesis. The American journal of clinical nutrition, 94(3), 809-818.

Why are the amino acids in Fortagen more effective?

In order for protein synthesis to occur, all 8 essential amino acids (EAAs) must be present at the same time and in the correct ratio to one another. The more the ratio of the 8 essential amino acids (EAAs) changes from the optimal pattern, the less the body utilizes the protein. Fortagen has the most optimized amino acid ratios to maximize muscle growth. You get the highest protein nutritional value in the world at nearly 100% usage.

Why is Fortagen better than other protein sources?

Whey protein, which is quite popular in the athletic industry, and is relatively well regarded, was shown to achieve just 18% anabolic (muscle building) usage in human subjects, with vegetable protein sources being under 10%. Protein from meat fared slightly better, but even so less than 40% of ingested protein was used anabolically. This means that for an athlete trying to supply the body with protein for the purposes of lean tissue growth, more than 8 out of every 10 grams of whey protein they consume may not be used for its intended purpose.

What are the benefits of amino acids?

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, but there are over 200 of them! This means that some are toxic, while others are essential for human life. By way of example, only 21 of the 200+ existing amino acids are actually required for protein synthesis in human tissue, including for repair and the growth of the musculature. Access to the right amino acids and protein is therefore critical for health.

Why 8, not 9 essential amino acids?

There is a lot of conflicting research on whether Histidine is an essential amino acid. While the human body cannot make Histidine, in the absence of consuming Histidine, significant metabolic mechanisms occur that compensate for the absence of that particular amino acid. For example, when the body is deprived of one of the other 8 essential amino acids, things start to go wrong in a matter of days, whereas, in the absence of Histidine, the body appears to compensate in such a way that even after month without it the person is not exhibiting any negative effects of the absence. For this reason, we view Histidine as a semi-essential amino acid and did not include it in Fortagen. Since Fortagen isn’t meant to replace food, the odds are good that you’ll still be getting sufficient Histidine in your diet without our adding it to Fortagen!

Can I use other protein supplements with Fortagen?

Other protein supplements should not be taken in conjunction with Fortagen. This may prevent: A. a lowering of BPS/min; B. an increase in the nitrogen catabolites; and C. an overloading of digestive functions

The Most Efficient Muscle-Building Supplement For Lean Muscle Growth

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the building blocks of protein. When properly formulated, fermented amino acids promote muscle growth, fat loss, and recovery.

At 4 calories, Fortagen delivers the highest protein nutritional value available at nearly 100%.

Just one serving of Fortagen provides as much usable protein as 8oz of steak.

The Problem With Standard Protein Supplements

For protein synthesis to occur, all 8 essential amino acids (EAAs) must be present and in the correct ratio. Otherwise, the protein becomes less usable. Standard protein supplements contain imbalanced EAAs, nonessential amino acids, and high-calorie fillers.

In studies, just 18% of whey protein was utilized by the body.¹ Vegetable protein sources fared even worse at 10%.²

Wondering what happens to all that unused protein?

It passes through your body as nitrogen waste. In other words, more than 8 out of every 10 grams of protein powder is not utilized for building and repairing muscle tissue.

The Problem with Standard Protein Supplements

Switch to the Most Bioavailable Muscle Growth Supplement

In two trials, a combination of amino acids designed for the greatest muscle-building effect were tested. The trials showed lower nitrogen waste than had ever been previously measured.

That’s not all.

The trial that measured new muscle development versus control showed 33% greater muscle growth, all while body fat declined. ¹

Studies³ show EAA supplementation stimulates muscle protein anabolism (muscle growth), even in sedentary elderly adults. The contribution of EAAs in the proper ratios to muscle synthesis cannot be overstated.

Faster Lean Muscle Growth From A Better Protein

Why We Created Fortagen

Also Available With Glucose for Hyperplasia

For those following the Hyperplasia Protocol, Fortagen is also available as FortagenHP. FortagenHP combines our Fortagen essential amino acid supplement with Glucose to rapidly replenish muscle glycogen and enhance cellular hydration, promoting muscle hyperplasia.

Why glucose? When consumed immediately before your workout, glucose:

Rapidly absorbs into muscle fibers, promoting cellular hydration
Expands the muscle cells, triggering an adaptive growth response
Provides a quick energy boost to help fuel your X3 workouts

FortagenHP delivers glucose alongside the EAAs you need to aggressively grow muscle while fasting. As with standard Fortagen, one serving of FortagenHP is equivalent to 50g of protein from traditional sources.

Also Available With Glucose For Hyperplasia

Amino Acid Blend: L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine, L-Lysine HCl, L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Methionine, L-Tryptophan.

Other Ingredients: Natural Flavor, Citric Acid, Steviol Glycoside, Sunflower Lecithin, Malic Acid, Exberry Shade Veggie Red Powder.

Directions

Mix 1 scoop of Fortagen into 16 oz of water and blend thoroughly. Consume Fortagen as needed to help meet your daily protein nutrition goals.* Take Fortagen at least 30 minutes before consuming any other protein and more than 1 hour after consuming any other protein. Take 1 serving daily. You may take more than one serving per day depending on your individual needs, training intensity, and goals. For the best taste, refrigerate after opening and shake before use.
