This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Protein Pill!

It’s finally here…the amino acid supplement that was a long time in the making. We think it’s one amazing supplement….so good, in fact, we decided to call it GEAR.

Serious bodybuilders know that all protein is created equal. That’s why Need2BuildMuscle.com created Gear. When you train, you break down muscle, and your body needs adequate protein to rebuild the lost muscle, and it needs a surplus of protein to build more. And building more muscle with each workout is the reason we go to the gym and bust our butts, isn’t it? That means not only getting enough protein, but getting the best protein possible.

Way back in the dark ages of bodybuilding supplementation, the idea of taking protein pills was a pretty good one – pop a few pills here and there and get extra aminos. The old timers, with limited resources, committed to this tactic and got pretty good results. Unfortunately, at best, each pill was barely a gram of protein and it was so much easier to get 30 grams from a protein shake -so protein pills fell out of favor. What we’ve done is mix some old school thinking with state of the art technology! Until now, getting enough quality protein each day meant carrying around tubs of whey protein, a cooler full of
food, or being forced to buy a $4 protein bar at the local 7/11. Gear changes all of that by giving your body the high quality protein it needs in a pill.

 Gear is advanced protein delivery system And Nutrition octane booster. When you take 2-4 capsules of Gear with your meals, it not only provides you with valuable, high quality aminos,
serum proteins, and fractionated whey, it also provides you with the bioactive enzymes your body needs to convert that
protein into muscle. It’s like taking a pill that turns every meal into a high-quality protein shake!

It’s a simple enough formula: train hard in the gym, and give your body enough protein to grow. Miss one part of the equation and your progress stops dead. The ingredients found in Gear will make sure you aren’t missing out:

GEAR uses a concentrated form of protein that is both ENLARGED and FRACTIONED. In other words, each amino molecule not only encompasses more space, it’s split into “micro molecules” which essentially increases the bio-availability ten-fold! A single gram of protein become more like TEN grams of amino acids!

Science Meets Simplicity

 

Anyone who uses steroids knows that they work by increasing nitrogen (protein) retention, but few people realize exactly what that entails. Without getting overly technical, protein basically passes through the intestines after which, it’s absorbed into the small intestine, and eventually, the bloodstream. At that point it travels throughout the body into the various muscles and glands. When protein is needed, the intestines grabs what’s available. THAT’S THE KEY! It isn’t so much the “amount” of protein you eat, it’s what’s “available “ at any given time. More often than not, the opportunity for muscle growth is lost because, even though you ingested a lot of protein, it wasn’t “ready to go” at the time when it was needed. Now, with GEAR, you’ll have that protein available at ALL TIMES.

GEAR contains…

 

1 - SUPER BLOOD PLASMA SERUM:

This is the main ingredient in GEAR and anyone familiar with this stuff will tell you it’s nothing short of miraculous. Studies have shown that test animals fed a comparable calorie diet with Super blood Plasma Serum grew an average of 20% LARGER than those on a diet without it. How can that be? Because Super Plasma Serum is the protein that already exists in the blood plasma. It’s instantly recognized as “useable”. It’s like adding blood to your blood, there’s no conversion -- whatever you add is “more”. That’s what happens with Super Blood Plasma Serum. It’s essentially instant muscle! And since the actual amino molecule of SPS is FOUR TIMES LARGER than that of meat, egg or whey protein it can be dispersed over a greater area of the intestines, allowing for maximum nitrogen dispersion. The extraordinary growth potential from Super Blood Plasma Serum may also be due to the fact that it contains the highest IGF-1 level of any natural food source. This is the closest thing to actual “injectable aminos”, which the pros have been using for years, BUT AT A FRACTION OF THE COST. Super Blood Plasma Protein is protein isolate and made from hydrolyzed animal  plasma. Because of its high concentration of bioactive proteins, peptides, and potent amino acid profile, this protein has been used to increase growth in multiple animal studies(9,10).


Aminogen is a bioactiveenzyme that assists your body in breaking down dietary protein into amino acids. Amino acids, especially branched chain amino acids, are the most potent form
of protein, and clinical research indicates that Aminogen can release 100% more plasma amino acids into the bloodstream, while increasingprotein retention by 32% and freeing up to 250% more highly anabolic branched chain amino acids. (1)

Bromelain is a mixture of protein-dissolving enzymes found primarily in pineapples. It aids in the digestive process by breaking down large protein chains into smaller ones (2), which can be more readily used by the body. In addition, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, bromelain can be used as a recovery agent from training injuries, to reduce inflammation from tendonitis, sprains, and strains (3). For a hard training bodybuilder, it doesn’t get much better; a natural anti-inflammatory that also helps with protein digestion.


Whey Fraction Complex combines the muscle building effects of whey with the easy digestibility of fractioned proteins. In addition to being highly anabolic, whey protein
fractions will stimulate the immune system, lower the stress-hormone cortisol, support metabolism and increase lean body mass (4-8). Whey protein has been rightly called the
gold standard of protein for the past several decades, and rightly so

BCAA (branched chain amino acids) are essential amino acids, meaning the body can not synthesize them naturally. They represent 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle
proteins and 40% of the body’s necessary preformed amino acids (11). Unfortunately, they’re among the first proteins to be destroyed during intense training. These essential proteins are not only used to build muscle, they’re also burned as fuel during training – so it’s important to insure that your body has a steady supply of them. Taking BCAAs will decrease exercise-induced muscle damage and promote maximal muscle-protein synthesis. (12)Not only will BCAA supplementation help increase protein synthesis - it can also help raise testosterone and lower cortisol.And of course, everyone knows that testosterone is one of the most anabolic(muscle building)
substances known to man, while cortisol is catabolic
(the opposite). So when you lower cortisol while increasing testosterone, the result is an increase in lean body mass.
