Sound too good to be true? Keep reading...

We all know that supplements are not a replacement for nutrition and training, but if you are looking for a supplement to enhance every part of your workout and take your gains to the next level... look no further than Purple Wraath™ by Controlled Labs.

PurplEAA Complex™:

The Purple Wraath™ PurplEAA Complex™ is a very efficient formula based on the science of actual homo sapiens muscle protein and clinical studies on human amino acid assimilation. Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) are the "building blocks" of lean muscle mass, but the EAA's from whey protein can take hours to enter circulation. The solution is the Purple Wraath™ fast-acting, free-form PurplEAA Complex™:

While essential amino acids function cohesively as a group to aid in your training, additionally they each produce a significant benefit when it comes to training:

Leucine:
- Primary anabolic trigger
- Enhance recovery
- Optimize hormone levels

Valine:
- Energy
- Recovery
- Glucose production
- Nitrogen balance
- Anti-inflammatory
- Analgesic

Isoleucine:
- Energy
- Recovery
- Glucose production
- Hormones

Lysine:
- Beta-oxidation
- Nitrogen balance
- Calcium absorption
- Energy

Arginine:
- Vasodilator
- Nutrient delivery
- Anti-Catabolic

Histidine:
- Vasodilator
- Sexual function

Threonine:
- Nutrient uptake
- Immune system

Methionine:
- Enhance metabolism
- Energy
- Mood
- Antioxidant

Phenylalanine:
- Energy
- Hormones
- Mood

It's important to understand that our EAA Complex includes all of the BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) that you have used in the past, including a precise ratio of leucine. Research shows that blood levels of these KEY amino acids are directly related to muscle protein synthesis, so we formulated a comprehensive and efficient matrix to enhance lean mass directly and indirectly, and under various conditions. Now, that ratio is important, but there are some other very exciting points about this formula. Unlike some of the amino acid supplements on the market, you aren't paying for cheap "filler" ingredients such as dextrose or maltodextrin when you purchase Purple Wraath™. Also, we chose not to include the amino acid glutamine since it is not an essential amino acid, and our bodies can synthesize it on its own in sufficient quantities. Because the studies that we based this formula off of do not use tryptophan and since it has the potential for "sedative" like side affects, we designed Purple Wraath™ to be completely tryptophan-free.

By combining intense exercise or weightlifting with the fast absorbing PurplEAA Complex™ you can rush nutrients into the active cells of your working muscles, creating an anabolic environment optimal for recovery and lean mass.

What would an EAA product be without some amazing support ingredients? Good, but not great. To make this formula great we added the PurplEndurance Complex™.

PurplEndurance Complex™:

You can't create an optimal anabolic environment without intensity so Controlled Labs decided to take things to the extreme with Purple Wraath™ by including the ultimate caffeine-free Ergogenic Complex:

So what does each of the ingredients in the PurplEndurance Complex™ do?

Beta-Alanine:
- Helps increase aerobic efficiency
- Helps enhance oxygen transport
- Helps to reduce lactic acid accumulation

Citrulline Malate:
- Reduces Lactic Acid and Ammonia
- Boosts energy production
- Has an oxygen sparing effect
- Boosts mitochondrial function

Betaine Anhydrous:
- Key osmotic/cellular hydration ingredient
- Enhances muscle fullness
- Acts as an energy enzyme protector
- Induces the conversion of homocysteine to methionine
- Elevates glutathione levels
- Promotes liver health
- Helps you maintain intracellular electrolytes
- Enhances metabolism

Ginger:
- Aids in nutrient absorption
- Enhances digestion/stomach function
- Produces a nootropic effect

Norvaline:
- Helps elevate naturally occurring eNOS


As you can see, we have responded to customer demand and the result: Purple Wraath™...the most advanced pre-workout product available!!

Introduction
Name: marlon
Age: 18
Height: 5'7''
Weight: 169 lbs
Bodyfat: 16% (Estimate)
Bodytype: Ecto-meso
Goal: Cut for the summer. Lose body fat while preserving as much muscle as possible.


History
I have been training for about one and a half years. I started at a measily 135lb skinny kid during the winter of 2004. I started lifting weights because everyone at my new job liked to exercise. I made decent gains and tightened up my body a little bit in a matter of months.
During the summer of 2005, I picked up a Muscle and Fitness magazine and found what I wanted to do. I wanted to a be a bodybuilder. I logged on to bb.com and found all the information I could ever want.
I got my diet together in October of 2005, weighing in at 140lbs, and have been able to stay consistent. Since then, I have gained 32 lbs and made huge increases in my lifts. Some of that 32 lbs is fat however, and needs to come off in time for summer!!!

Training Split
Usually...
Day 1: Chest/Tris
Day 2: Back/Bis
Day 3: Shoulders/Traps
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Legs

Diet
- 3300-3400 calories/day lowering by 200 every 2 weeks until fat loss occurs

1 Week Review

Weight: 169

Dosing:
-1 scoop the first day 30 min preworkout
-2 scoops 2nd day on, 30 min preworkout

Effects/Thoughts on Purple Wraath:
Energy levels have been rising since the first day. The first day I did not feel so much, but after 2 scoops I noticed a definate increase in my energy in the gym. Workouts have been a bit more explosive and it is feeling great!

Not much to say about recovery yet. I have not felt any increases in recovery, however it's too soon to tell. The DOMS is pretty normal/average at this point.

Since I am cutting, I planned to lose a 1/2 pound or 1 pound a week. I have not lost any weight since last week. However, I do notice I am looking a bit leaner than I did. I see a couple extra lines and striations here and there. We will see how this turns out...

The only problem I have been experiencing is the minor headaches when I start working out. They are not bad at all, nor do they impede my workout, but it is just something that I noticed. I recently upped my water intake from 2 gallons to 2.5 gallons/day, and yesterday I got the headache in my first exercise, but it went away quickly afterwards. This is an improvement.

Weird your getting headaches every day. How is your blood pressure?
