Default ATHLETIC EDGE NUTRITION - Introduces IntraXCell - FAQ

Athletic Edge Nutrition Presents IntraXCell-FAQ

Intracellular Carnosine/Glutathione Booster in convenient capsule form.




Athletic Edge Nutrition, The Nutrient Timing Specialists, is pleased to introduce IntraXCell. We have scientifically formulated IntraXCell with precise doses of four key ingredients that work synergistically to increase intramuscular Carnosine and Glutathione levels, which boosts strength, lean muscle mass and fights muscular fatigue at the cellular level.

The Result: Explosive Strength and Endurance, forcing lean muscle gains, physique improvements and muscular GROWTH!

IntraXCell is scientifically formulated to:

• Boost Explosive Muscular Strength and Endurance, forcing lean muscle gains.
• Delay Muscular Fatigue.
• Increase Intracellular Carnosine Levels and Fight Metabolic Acidosis.
• Improve Healthy Blood Flow to Working Muscles.
• Naturally Boost Glutathione Levels.



Boost Strength and Increase Lean Muscle Gains with IntraXCell!
When you exercise or train at a high intensity, your muscles increase their production of hydrogen ions (H+) which lowers muscular pH, making them more acidic. This increase in musclular acidity (also called metabolic acidosis) directly interferes with muscular contraction, energy (ATP) production and increases fatigue, all factors that cause your performance to plummet. While muscle acidity has certainly proven to decrease strength and contribute to muscular fatigue, new research is now showing that exercise-induced intracellular free radical production is another source of muscular fatigue. The combination of muscular acidity and increased free radical production greatly diminishes your performance during exercise, stopping your workouts cold and interfering with lean muscle gains.

Fortunately, Athletic Edge Nutrition has developed a tool you can use to combat intracellular acidity and free radical production, pushing your performance, physique and results to the next level.

IntraXCell works to boosts strength, fight cellular fatigue and increase lean muscle gains in two ways:
1. Contains research supported Beta-Alanine, which effectively boosts
intramuscular carnosine levels, which works to fight/buffer fatigue-causing
Hydrogen Ions, allowing for extreme muscular strength, power and
endurance.

2. Increases production of the power antioxidant glutathione with N-acetyl-
cystine (NAC) and Alpha-Lipoic Acid. Glutathione is a power antioxidant
in your muscle cells that can improve exercise performance by preventing
damaging free radicals than can cause cellular fatigue.

Q: How long will it take for me to start noticing benefits?

Performance benefits typically start occurring in as little as two weeks, although some individuals will notice benefits within one week. As carnosine levels continue to increase, so will the benefits. The most dramatic results are generally experienced within the 3-4 week range, but they don’t stop there. Recent research is now showing carnosine levels continue to increase up to atleast 10 weeks, so the benefits just keep on getting better which is why we recommend to continuously stay on IntraXCell for atleast 3 months to optimize your carnosine levels.

Immediate benefits: Many users experience intense vasodilatation/pumps from the very first time they take their first does of IntraXCell. The reason this occurs is because Beta-Alanine increases carnosine and carnosine is a powerful precursor in generating nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NOS are a group of enzymes necessary for making the powerful vasodilator nitric oxide. Take IntraXCell with SteelEdge prior to exercise and let us know your experience. We are confident that you will be very pleased pumps/vasodilatation from your very first workout.


Q: There are a few other carnosine boosters out there, what makes IntraXCell different?

With IntraXCell, you get a large 4 gram dose of Beta-Alanine per serving complying to the actual dosage used in the scientific research. Other carnosine boosters put Beta-Alanine in proprietary blends and do not list the amount, so it’s impossible unless the company discloses the actual Beta-Alanine content for you to know if you are really getting a high enough dose to build up carnosine levels and reap all the benefits!

• Some formula’s that contain Beta-Alanine are Pre-Workout formulas. To increase intramuscular carnosine levels, research shows that daily supplementation of Beta-Alanine is required to boost carnosine levels. As a result, putting Beta-Alanine in a true Pre-Workout formula unless you are supplementing with extra Beta-Alanine separately or work out 7 days a week will not likely build carnosine levels up very effectively.

IntraXCell is designed with no stimulants so it can be taken anytime during the day everyday including late night workout sessions. At Athletic Edge Nutrition we do no recommend taking stimulants everyday, so putting any stimulants in IntraXCell or any Carnosine booster would not be logical from our standpoint.

IntraXCell is a true carnosine/glutathione booster without the unnecessary fluff that’s added to some of the other carnosine boosters currently on the market.

IntraXCell isn’t just a carnosine booster, it also contains other important ingredients that either boost glutathione levels or work synergistically with beta-alanine.

• IntraXCell is in a convenient capsule form, allowing dosage to be extremely accurate as well as eliminating the harsh taste of some of the ingredients.


Q: Who can benefit from IntraXCell?

• Individuals participating in weight training looking to gain lean muscle mass and increase strength.

• Any individual involved in athletic activities where strength, power and muscular endurance are needed.

• Active individuals who have reached a training plateau and are looking for something to take them to the next level.


Q: How should I take IntraXCell?

Take one serving daily. IntraXCell may be taken with or without food, but we recommend it be taken with food as food may dampen the prickling sensation that some individuals experience from the Beta-Alanine content.

On Training days: Take one serving 15-20 minutes prior to exercise (can be conveniently taken with our Pre-Workout formula SteelEdge). This protocol serves two purposes. One, it takes advantage the pre-workout timing benefits of increased blood flow driving Beta-Alanine into the working muscles. Two, the carbohydrate content in SteelEdge speeds up how quickly Beta-Alanine increases intramuscular carnosine levels and their may also be synergy with the caffeine content in SteelEdge.

On Non-training days: Continue to take one serving daily with food.

Q: What is the effective dose of Beta-Alanine needed to effectivly boost intramuscular carnosine levels leading to performance benefits?

3.2 to 6.4 grams per day (IntraXCell has 4 grams per serving).


Q: How long will a bottle of IntraXCell last me?

There are 30 servings in a bottle of IntraXCell. One serving daily gives you exactly one month worth of product. With a strong 4 gram dose of beta-alanine per serving, you will not need to take two doses to benefit (most other carnosine boosters have 1.6 grams per serving at most, so don’t be fooled by a higher amount of serving per container when you are having to take more than double the amount of servings to get ONE serving of IntraXCell).


Q: If one of the building blocks of carnosine is histidine, wouldn't it be beneficial to include it with beta-alanine to further boost muscle carnosine levels?

No, it wouldn't. Histidine is already present in high concentrations in muscle, while beta-alanine is present only in small amounts. Scientists have determined and demonstrated that it is beta-alanine that drives the intra-muscular synthesis of carnosine, not histidine.


Q: What other supplements do you recommend to maximize the results when taking IntraXCell?

• We recommend our Full Spectrum Pre-Workout Formula, SteelEdge. SteelEdge contains many ingredients that may work synergistically with IntraXCell. On training days, take IntraXCell with SteelEdge to amplify the benefits of each product.

Creatine is another supplement that may work synergistically with IntraXCell and they can certainly be stacked together.

Q: Are their any stimulants in IntraXCell?

No.

Q: Can I take IntraXCell late at night?

Yes.

Q: Is IntraXCell for both men and women?

Yes, both men and women can benefit from taking IntraXCell.

We had a similiar question on another forum, here is my answer.


NAC builds up intracellular Glutathione levels over time much like Beta-Alanine builds up intracellular carnosine over time, there is no set efficacious dosage when taking NAC to boost glutathione concentrations.

Having said that, there is no harm in adding 200-400mg's of extra NAC if you so chose. A gram or more of NAC can have pro oxidant effects, so there is no need to go too crazy with adding extra NAC with IntraXCell. The above range of 200-400mg of NAC will be more than sufficient if you really want to boost up your intake,but it is not needed.

I like the fact that its the first supp. I've seen that actually admits to take 2 weeks to kick in. Everything else claims to start workin from the first dose ,or even as soon as you buy it.:clapping:
