NEW Thunderbolt by Antaeus Labs:

Advanced Anabolic Vasodilator!

The workout pump isn’t just for show - it provides a valuable effect to your training. Increased blood flow helps supply the muscles with oxygen and nutrients, while speeding removal of cellular waste products that contribute to muscular fatigue. Temporary swelling of the muscles results in stretching of the muscle fascia, which allows for continued muscle growth through a cascade of anabolic signals. The pump is also a powerful motivating factor, by acting as positive feedback on your workout and rewarding your efforts by making you look your best.

Antaeus Labs' NEW Thunderbolt isn’t your run-of-the-mill pump supp though. We’ve carefully selected the four ingredients we think will make the biggest difference to your workouts and progress in the gym.

Each dose of Thunderbolt contains:

• Kallidinogenase (175 IU)
• Arginine Butyrate (1500mg)
• S-Nitrosoglutathione (10mg) -Copper (1mg)

There’s a good chance you’re unfamiliar with three of those ingredients, so we’ll guide you through them in more detail.

Kallidinogenase

Kallidinogenase, also known as kallikrein, is a natural human enzyme and the only pharmaceutical-strength vasodilator legally available as a supplement. Thunderbolt contains kallikrein in recombinant form, and while sensitive to degradation by low pH from stomach acid, we have encapsulated Thunderbolt with enteric-coating to ensure high bioavailability.
Mechanism of action: Kallikrein is a serine protease, which cleaves kininogen to release the potent vasoactive kinin peptides bradykinin or kallidin. Kallidin is very similar, and can be converted to bradykinin. Within skeletal muscle, bradykinin promotes glucose uptake and improves blood flow. [1]The pharmaceutical class of drugs known as ACE Inhibitors act on bradykinin to keep it active longer which leads to the normalization of blood pressure and nitric oxide release. Boosting bradykinin also increases vascular permeability, which allows for better nutrient delivery to tissues.

Kinins have a very short half-life, as they are destroyed in less than 20secs by through the action of kininases (aminopeptidases) present in the tissues and blood. Hence, kinins are unsuitable for use as exogenously administered agents. In plasma, kininogen is in excess, leaving kallikrein as the limiting factor in kinin formation. Therefore, kallikrein is a far better choice for activating the kinin-kallikrein system.
Kallidinogenase is stable for 28 months at room temperature, and about five years if kept refrigerated. [2]

Primary effects: Kallidinogenase is a peripheral vasodialator, causing an increase in bloodflow and nutrient delivery to skeletal muscle. [3]

Other beneficial effects: Kallidinogenase has significant pro-fertility effects, [4,5,6] is nephroprotective, has diuretic effects via activation of the Bradykinin B2 receptor, and increases bloodflow to the brain. [7] Constitutive over-activation of the Bradykinin B2 receptor has been shown to increase the anabolic response to exercise, so Kallidinogenase may also impart a directly anabolic effect. [8]

Arginine Butyrate

Mechanism of action: Arginine Butyrate is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, and also activates the nitric oxide pathway.

Primary effects: In mouse models of muscular dystrophy arginine butyrate demonstrated beneficial effects including increased muscle strength and increased utrophin expression. [9]

Exposure of myoblasts to HDAC inhibitors results in upregulation of follistatin expression. In turn, follistatin binds to and suppresses the activity of myostatin, a TGF-β family member that negatively regulates muscle mass. [10]
Other beneficial effects: Arginine’s NO-mediated functions are fairly well known. L-arginine is converted into NO by the enzyme NO synthase (eNOS). Nitric oxide causes relaxation vascular smooth muscle by binding to and activating guanylate cyclase and increasing intracellular levels of cyclic-guanosine 3’,5’-monophosphate, causing vasodilation which lowers arterial pressure. [11] This improves blood flow, which increases the pump. Nitric oxide also inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. [12] Arginine is also a precursor of creatine, and plays a role in accelerating tissue repair following injuries. [13]

S-Nitrosoglutathione

S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) mediates the cellular signalling effects of nitric oxide (NO). To date, GSNO has been tested in almost 20 clinical trials, examining its efficacy in treating a variety of conditions - including topical use as a treatment for female sexual dysfunction. [14]

Mechanism of action: Although GSNO is often described as a NO donor, rather than being denitrated like traditional nitrate drugs (e.g. glyceryl trinitrate) which decompose to produce NO, GSNO is capable of donating the nitroso moiety to other molecules, though a reaction called S-nitrosylation. [15] This ability to directly transfer NO+ protects the NO moiety from attack by free radicals. [16]
Primary effects: GSNO has vasodilatory effects on the vasculature, specifically of the arteries. [17] Unlike nitrates, S-nitrosothiols do not cause tolerance with long-term continuous use. [18] While NO itself is very short lived, GNSO acts as a stable intracellular pool of NO which allows the beneficial effects of NO stimulation to sustain over a longer period of time.

Other beneficial effects: GSNO, and associated nitrosothiols like S-nitrosocysteine, contribute to the regulation of breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and vascular muscle tone. [19,20,21] GSNO inhibits platelet aggregation, [22] probably via degradation to NO and glutathione disulfide by the cell-surface protein disulfide isomerase (csPDI). [23] GSNO also has neuroprotective properties (via up-regulation of the antioxidative thioredoxin system), and may encourage wound repair through enhanced collagen formation. [24,25] Copper Copper potentiates the vasodilatory and antiplatelet actions of GSNO.
Mechanism of action: Copper ions are important catalysts in the decomposition of low molecular weight nitrosothiols (like GSNO) by superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD). [26]
Primary effects: Copper enhances the anti-platelet aggregation properties of GSNO. [27]

Other beneficial effects: Copper deficiency has been shown to block acetylcholine-mediated vascular smooth muscle relaxation. [28,29,30]

dvanced Thermogenic Potentiator

ALPHA CUTS® is a "new generation" thermogenic fat burner in powder form.

Designed to be both a potent fat immobilizer and an energy producing compound that works by triggering lipolytic actions in your metabolic system.

Biochemically superior to all regular fat loss powders ALPHA CUTS® works on several different levels due to it's unique formulation and extreme effectiveness. High potency, pureness of ingredients and an integrated balance of these sources compelled Alpha Pro Nutrition^®to write MAXIMUM STRENGTH above the product name!

ALPHA CUTS® is not a product for first time users or people who don't take their workouts seriously. ALPHA CUTS® is an advanced formula for semi-advanced to advanced athletes who are already in tune with their body and how it reacts to potent substances. It's been tested extensively on pro bodybuilders and world class athletes who have given our biochemists crucial feedback on what they expected from a thermogenic formula and what results were obtained by their own ALPHA CUTS® usage.

Do not exceed recommended dosage and do not use every day of the week. Alpha Cuts must be cycled due to it's extreme potency. Read label carefully and do not commence a fitness and nutritional program without consulting a physician or medical expert.

The amazing Alpha Cuts® formula

Clarinol®, Conjugated Linoleic Acid Only CLA found in Clarinol® can boast the most in-depth and up to date scientific studies that confirm Conjugated Linoleic Acid as a leading “fat melting” fatty acid.CLA is an improved form on Linoleic Acid, an Omega-6 fatty acid extremely important to our health. It’s well known for it’s anti-catabolic effects on human muscle tissue along with being a potent anti-oxidant.CLA helps in naturally lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, increasing basic metabolism and boosting your immune system. It inhibits the activity of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL). LPL transfers fats from the bloodstream to the fat cells and consequently the transport of fat into fat cells is blocked. At the same time CLA also stimulates the breakdown of stored body fat (lipolysis). CLA increases the activity of the enzyme CPT (Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase).

This unique form of Carnitine is present in muscle tissue and is responsible for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria where energy production takes place. Fat can now be used as fuel for energy production. With an increased activity of CPT in the skeletal muscle, CLA increases the transport of fat into the mitochondria where it can be used to full benefit.

L-Tyrosine is a multi-functional free form amino acid that has several different benefits to athletes. The two main reasons for inclusion in the Alpha Cuts® formula are 1) Cognitive and focus factors. This amazing amino acid has been reported time and again to increase motivation before exercising, alleviate depression and create an overall sense of well being. L Tyrosine is often called the ultimate mood enhancer. It is also the precursor of several neurotransmitters, including L-dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. 2) Thermogenic effect. When administered orally L Tyrosine acts quickly in raising metabolic rate therefore burning more calories when you are at rest. Taken before exercise it will greatly boost your metabolism even more and places your body in an optimal state to burn more subcutaneous body fat.

Taurine is an an amazing amino acid pure and simple. It is a potent anti-oxidant and physical performance enhancer. It helps the body digest food, especially fats in a particular way by metabolizing fat cells, making them readily available for energy production. Taurine supplements can reduce the risk of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance.

Glucuronolactone Several diverse studies suggest that glucuronolactone can increase mental performance in addition to physical performance. Often noted in these studies are improvements in reaction time, concentration and short term memory. ALPHA CUTS® uses the highest quality grade of glucuronolactone to ensure that all these effects are maximized, not the least of which are it’s impressive abilities in utilizing body fat stores in energy production.

Synephrine Hydrochloride is present due to it’s appetite suppressant qualities and amazing effects on overall metabolism. It is known to increase the metabolic rate by increasing lipolysis and basal metabolic rate (calories burned at rest) and has the ability to stimulate fat loss without significantly increasing blood pressure or heart rate.

UPLOAD^® is an ultra-concentrated pre-workout performance enhancer created and tested by Alpha Pro Nutrition®.

From the very first dose you will experience a dramatic increase in energy, mental focus, alertness and concentration. Neurotransmitters fire up in your brain creating mental sharpness for concentrating on the task at hand. Muscular strength reaches your highest levels and your muscles quickly engorge with fresh nutrient-rich blood as overall fatigue is pushed back. A dramatic increase in recuperation takes place on a cellular level.

Alpha Pro Nutrition^® spared no expense in formulating UPLOAD®'s powerful blend by utilizing only the purest and most potent ingredients. UPLOAD^® is not filled with fattening maltodextrin, aspartame, saccharin or bulky fillers and untested, dubious herbs. Maximum purity brings maximum efficacy!

The UPLOAD mission

After hundreds of hours of listening to what pro bodybuilders wanted to improve in their training regimen two things kept coming to the top as being crucially important: sleep & recuperation and preparing themselves mentally for a brutal workout. Obtaining adequate amounts of sleep and relaxation in order to rebuild tissue damaged from that intense workout was imperative for them in order to create new hypertrophy (muscular growth). Equally important was ensuring their system received a huge ‘boost’ both on a cellular level and psychologically right before they started their session.

Professional bodybuilders have evolved from having a cup of coffee with table sugar before stepping into the gym to leaving no stone unturned in their quest for specific compounds that will maximize their ability to perform at the highest level. No champion has ever been created by repeating low intensity workouts day in and day out. No athlete has ever broken a record by lounging around and just dreaming of greatness… they kill themselves on the gym floor every time they train!

The UPLOAD “Tunnel Vision” Matrix

We view the UPLOAD formula as one synergistic compound. Efficacious elements working together in unison to create the perfect lift for your pre-workout phase. It’s our unique “Tunnel Vision” Matrix and it includes potent doses of:

AGMATINE SULFATE AgmaMax®

We only use the brand name AgmaMax® because our in-house testing showed that the Agmatine in AgmaMax blew other less expensive brands away as far as purity and deliverability.

Agmatine has so many positive effects on muscle cells it’s actually mind-boggling! It makes the muscle full and round because it increases the storage of muscle glycogen inside the muscles. That glycogen in turn clings on to water filling out the muscle belly. One of many reasons why athletes on Agmatine experience increased pumps and larger and fuller muscles.

Agmatine enhances insulin production, which creates a better insulin response. Increased insulin response has a positive effects on body composition and musculature. Agmatine is also known for it’s anti-depressant property. Research indicates that Agmatine regulates cortisol in the body. Cortisol is a hormone that the body secretes during times of extreme anxiety, stress and depression. Agmatine can alleviate stress induced by exercise opening the pathway to recovery and rebuilding. Lab studies have also shown an enhancement of production of growth hormone (GH), pituitary hormone, and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). Luteinizing Hormone is an essential factor in increasing testosterone production. There is also new evidence from studies supporting that Agmatine can be a strong neuro-protector, lower blood pressure and have beneficial effects in heart tissue.

Agmatine effectively regulates Nitric Oxide (NO) through a variety of intricate mechanisms. It stimulates some types of Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) while hindering others. This is a "doubling” effect on NO production that other similar compounds do not possess and alone is well worth the added expense of using a superior ingredient such as AgmaMax® Agmatine Sulfate.

BETA-ALANINE CarnoSyn®

Again Alpha Pro Nutrition® doesn't skimp on quality utilizing only CarnoSyn® as it’s source for Beta-Alanine.

Beta-Alanine has quickly become an essential part for any supplement regimen in athletes and rightly so.

Myriads of scientific tests prove it’s efficacy in increasing working capacity in skeletal muscle tissue, decreasing muscle acidosis, improving endurance, delaying fatigue and improving overall muscle strength and power.

All these studies make CarnoSyn® a “no brainer” when trying to reach that ultimate state of preparedness before we tear up the weights! It increases muscle mass and improves muscle endurance along with the ability to increase Carnosine levels which in turn buffers fatigue and helps impede exhaustion.

TRI CREATINE MALATE and CREATINE PYRUVATE

Beyond just regular creatine. Way beyond! Alpha Pro Nutrition® chose to create this particular balance of creatines because the average creatine monohydrate on the market is often not well tolerated by individuals even with slight gastrointestinal issues and water retention problems. Retaining water inside your muscle is extremely beneficial to strength athletes and especially bodybuilders for obvious reasons. Ingesting an inexpensive and impure creatine product that causes an overall “creatine bloat” under the skin and especially in the abdomen is certainly not!

Studies on Creatine Pyruvate in particular show that with an improved absorption rate, compared to creatine monohydrate alone, it could eliminate the need for high-dosing or “creatine loading”. The last thing you want is a waterlogged physique due to creatine intake.

The water retention properties have been designed to stay within the muscle and not spill over to all the tissues and subcutaneously. The synergy between the amounts of Tri-Creatine Malate, Creatine Pyruvate and Agmatine Sulfate are a key factor in UPLOAD’s ability to push nutrient rich blood inside the working muscle and keep it there for the longest period of time possible.

N-ACETYL L-TYROSINE

Another key element in the UPLOAD formula that has it’s owns specific task to carry out. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine enhances mood and creates an overall sense of wellbeing. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is a natural amino acid that is actually made from phenyl ethylamine and is converted into dopamine and norepinephrine. These are extremely powerful brain chemicals. Once broken down into phenylalanine it increases mental alertness, focus and concentration.

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is very fast acting and this could be why several athletes are adamant about how they feel the effect of UPLOAD quickly. The blood flow properties of the other UPLOAD elements help with the transport of this amazing amino acid which bring so many other beneficial effects. It has been linked to memory improvement, mood elevation and improved circulation in numerous tests.

TAURINE

This amazing amino acid essential to cardiovascular function and protein synthesis is included in high amounts in the UPLOAD formula because of a crucial role it plays during intense muscular contraction:

Taurine keeps potassium and magnesium inside the cell, while keeping excessive sodium out. Any competitive bodybuilder or physique athlete will understand the importance of this. Less water outside the muscle cell may prevent muscular definition from being opaqued by excess water retention in the one place you do NOT want it. Inside the muscle cell, hydrating it and keeping it healthy and fully functional is where you DO want it. This works perfectly in balance with UPLOAD’s Agmatine Sulfate and Beta Alanine combination to create muscle fullness without ruining your definition.

RHODIOLA

The “Grand Father” of all adaptogens, as it is called, has been used since antiquity for it’s potent beneficial effects on stamina, strength and energy production but more importantly for the serious weight trainer it aids in quicker recuperation and has the added benefit of being a nootropic. Natural nootropics increase mental drive, focus and clarity. Rhodiola is the most powerful of all natural nootropics.

DENDROBIUM

Known to stimulate a rapid release of norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine Dendrobium is a Chinese herb that has cognitive effects on mental acuity combined with intense focus factors. Dendrobium’s uniqueness is unparalleled because it is known in the sports world as being a pre-game stimulant that does not give you the classic "crash” at the end of your workout nor does it produce bothersome jitters like so many other potent stimulants.

L-GLUTAMINE

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in our muscles. 65% of muscle tissue is actually Glutamine! Essential to nitrogen retention and absorption this powerhouse should be in every pre-workout supplement worthy of it’s name. Dubbed “The Anabolic Amino” for good reason UPLOAD’s other key ingredients benefit from it’s presence by acting as an “amino pool” where several intrinsic reactions take place inside the muscle cell giving the overall powerhouse effect!

Endless studies can be found demonstrating the beneficial effects of L-Glutamine supplementation on competitive athletes. Some of the more important positive effects for us are: cellular hydration, minimization of damage to skeletal muscular cells while under intense contraction, increase in contractile strength and protein synthesis facilitation.

L-Glutamine, aided by UPLOAD’s other elements acts as a fuel source for working muscles and improves overall recuperation and anabolism post workout. By the time you finish your workout Glutamine is already helping you rebuild by promoting glucose uptake!

CONCENTRATED COCONUT WATER POWDER

The importance of minerals, especially electrolytes, cannot be overlooked when exercising. An effective natural blend of minerals essential during intense workouts has been added to UPLOAD’s unique formula. With no harsh chemical taste, the power of our potent mineral blend compliments our unique flavoring system unique to UPLOAD.

GUARANA SEED EXTRACT & CAFFEINE ANHYDROUS

A special balance between these two tried and true stimulants add another element of effectiveness to UPLOAD’s pre-workout boost. Recent studies on Caffeine Anhydrous validate it's ability to effectively and rapidly spark neurotransmitters in the brain creating a mental sharpness essential for focus and concentration. The unique properties of Guarana Seed Extract potentiate Caffeine Anhydrous’ effects creating a wider neurological pathway for cognitive function and augmented physical performance.

Both compounds have strong anti-oxidant effects, they increase metabolism and work in synergy as neuro-modulators and neuro-transmitters with Agmatine Sulfate.

Experience the astonishing effects of UPLOAD before your next intense workout, game or competition. You will never train without it again.

UPLOAD it now!
