Impact on TCA Flux

Contains measured amounts of several anapleurotic and other ingredients that impact on TCA flux and which I feel, maximize mitochondrial metabolism, increase aerobic energy production, and enhance insulin and growth hormone/IGF-I secretion and formation.

Increased TCD Intermediates

Increase of TCA intermediates such as succinate, and malate/pyruvate shuttle.

Increased oxoglutaric acid and glutamate

Results in increased levels of both oxoglutaric acid and glutamate, the former as an anaplerotic TCA intermediate that seems to be glutamine driven as against the logical glutamate, and the latter as a compound that decreases cataplerosis while at the same time indirectly increases insulin secretion.

Overall results

The overall increase in anapleurotic flux produces an increase in aerobic energy production, insulin secretion, and protein synthesis, and results in an increased adaptive response, a surge in skeletal muscle cell growth, increased fat loss, and improved recovery.
