Real, pure IGF-1. With the successful extraction of insulin-like
growth factor type 1 from whey protein, SST-1: IGF is a revolutionary
discovery for all athletes. Blackstone Labs used a molecular biological
technique to extract 175 ug/100g, which is a substantial amount of
IGF-1. Blackstone Labs has found a way to make this revolutionary
compound affordable with the development of efficient extraction methods
from whey peptides for the production of IGF-1.
An IGF-1 precursor and growth hormone mimic, SST-1: GH will increase
and develop new muscle. If improved sense of well being, increased
muscle mass and protein synthesis, increased lean muscle, higher energy
levels, increased endurance, increased flexibility, increased libido
(sexual performance) and improved immune function are your goals - then
SST-1: GH from Blackstone is just what the doctor ordered!
IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor-1) (from NPX-GF Whey Protein Isolate) (22.5mcg)
Blackstone Labs, which is a company known for hardcore and innovative
products, focused on the known growth factors in whey peptides, growth
hormone (GH) and the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). Blackstone Labs
knew that new cells in the body occurs primarily through what is known
as the GH/IGF axis wherein the presence of GH triggers and enhances the
many effects of the IGFs. IGF-1, or insulin like growth factor-1, has
also become popular with athletes as its aids in making an athlete
bigger, faster and stronger. It may also boost muscle, reduce fat and
improve endurance.
The most important factor to consider is
IGF-1's ability to achieve hyperplasia. When you use performance
enhancing ingredients, they will help the body through hypertrophy,
which means you are increasing the size of the existing muscle cells. On
the other hand, IGF-1 will cause hyperplasia, which means you are
actually increasing the number of cells in the muscle tissue. These new
cells can be utilized through further training to make bigger muscles.
In essence, you will have the ability to achieve more muscle density and
size at the genetic level by using IGF-1. Blackstone Labs takes a great
invention (IGF-1 peptide derived from whey) and makes it a superior
product (SST-1: IGF). Our proprietary in-house Liposomal Delivery (LD)
system is an applied coating which allows IGF-1 to readily dissolve in
liquids and ensures the IGF-1 will bypass digestion; will be transported
through the bowel wall; will circulate throughout the body; will reach
the organs and cells; and remain bioavailable at the cellular level.
Liposomal Delivery makes IGF-1 (and other hormones and nutrients) up to
1,500 % more bioavailable. Without Liposomal Delivery, IGF-1 loses most
of its effectiveness. The Liposomal Delivery difference means that
products from Blackstone Labs do what they say.
Mucuna Pruriens Extract (seed) (Yielding 500mg L-Dopa per serving) (540mg)
SST-1: GH is based primarily upon the active ingredient L-DOPA (also
called Levodopa or L-DOPA) (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine). L-DOPA is
extracted from mucuna pruriens or velvet bean seeds. It is the precursor
of the neurotransmitter dopamine which itself is the precursor of
neurotransmitters nor-epinephrine and epinephrine. DOPA is consumed to
generate dopamine; supporting healthy mood and mental alertness. It has
been known for over 40 years that L-DOPA is an effective stimulant of
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) which has many benefits including improved
sense of well being, increased muscle mass and protein synthesis,
increased lean muscle, higher energy levels, increased endurance,
increased flexibility, increased libido (sexual performance) and
improved immune function. However, the challenges such as poor blood
brain barrier penetration always caused the ingredient to only be
marginally effective.
Blackstone Labs set out to utilize its
Liposomal process it has used with its series of prohormones and has hit
pay dirt! Our liposome-based strategy for effective ingredient delivery
across the blood-brain barrier was especially effect in L-Dopa's case.
L-DOPA is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid, synthesized from
L-tyrosine, and found in some foods and herbs. L-DOPA containing Mucuna
pruriens cam also elevate human growth hormone as results of several
studies. In one study it was confirmed to increase growth hormone
release 60–110 min following a single oral dose of 500 mg of L-DOPA also
confirmed that L-DOPA therapy, appears to elevate plasma growth
hormone. Growth hormone (GH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland
regulated by two hypothalamic peptides: GH-releasing hormone (GHRH),
which stimulates GH synthesis and secretion, and somatostatin, which
inhibits GH release without affecting GH synthesis. The major influence
of GH is its anabolic effect on bodily tissues, including growth, cell
reproduction and regeneration. As a result, GH plays an important role
helping the body to adapt to heavy physical stress (eg, resistance
training). The main physiologic functions of GH include increased
protein synthesis, increased lipolysis, increased collagen synthesis,
increased cartilage growth, decreased glycogen synthesis and glucose
utilization, and enhanced immune cell function. However, levodopa cannot
be administered alone, since it has multiple side effects and doesn't
readily cross the blood brain barrier. Blackstone testers have all raved
about the benefits they have gotten when taking SST-1: GH, which shows
Blackstone has solved the age old question about how to make this
powerful compound more effective.
Anterior Pituitary Peptides (450mg)
The second powerful compound in SST-1: GH is anterior pituitary
peptides. The pituitary gland is about the size of a bean, and it hangs
by a stalk from the hypothalamus. Even though the gland is tiny, its
power should not be underestimated. In fact, this gland is sometimes
referred to as the 'master gland' because hormones from this gland
affect your body's metabolism, growth and development, and libido.
Growth hormone is a hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland
that promotes growth. It does this in a number of ways, including
stimulating cells to grow and divide, increasing bone and muscle growth,
and increasing protein synthesis. The anterior pituitary has been shown
to contain a wide variety of bioactive peptides. Anterior pituitary
peptides contain GH-secreting peptides that trigger growth hormone
release in the body. However, similar to L-Dopa anterior pituitary
peptides have low oral bioavailability. However, when manufactured into a
liposomal form Anterior pituitary peptides promote natural production
and release of HGH. Blackstone has developed the perfect one-two punch
with respect to GH by using anterior pituitary peptides and Mucuna
pruriens containing L-Dopa utilizing its proprietary liposomal
technology.
