SURGE® Recovery is designed to switch on anabolism and halt catabolism when it's absolutely most important — post workout. The formula stimulates a hormonal (primarily insulin) surge that drives high concentrations of certain nutrients, supplied by the drink, deep into the muscle cell. And if you're successful at achieving this cascade effect, you'll quash catabolism and stimulate anabolism, big time! In fact, it's estimated that you can speed up your body's ability to recover and build muscle by a minimum of one full day, which can make the difference between being the typical hard-gainer and at least a good-gainer.
In reality, there're probably very few true hard-gainers. In fact, if you took everyone who's having a hard time making progress and just got them to consume ample amounts of the right mix of nutrients post workout, the vast majority would make consistent, continual muscle-mass gains. Really, it's that simple — and that hard. The hard part of effective post-workout nutrition is determining the right blend of nutrients in the ideal ratios. Well, we've done the research and testing, taking the guesswork out of the equation.
New Post-Workout Formula: Biotest Surge
First of all, it tastes great, which is no easy feat to accomplish, considering the ingredients. Without a major mojo job on the flavoring, the mixture — primarily whey-protein hydrolysate and BCCAs — is so bitter and nasty you'd swear it was something intended for cleaning the bathroom. Yuck!
However, the great taste isn't the big payoff. Far more important is the hormonal (primarily insulin) surge you get right after you drink the formula. As a result of this surge, high concentrations of certain nutrients, supplied by the drink, are driven deep into the muscle cell right when it's absolutely most important — post workout.
And if you're successful at achieving this cascade effect, you'll quash catabolism and stimulate anabolism, big time! In fact, we believe you'll speed up your body's ability to recover and build muscle by a minimum of one full day, which can make the difference between being the typical hard-gainer and at least a good-gainer.
In reality, there're probably very few true hard-gainers running around. In fact, if you took everyone who's having a hard time making progress and just got them to consume ample amounts of the right mix of nutrients post workout, the vast majority would make consistent, continual muscle-mass gains. Really, it's that simple — and that hard.
The hard part of effective post-workout nutrition is determining the right blend of nutrients in the ideal ratios. Well, we've done the research and testing, taking the guesswork out of the equation. Yes, we've talked at length about most of the ingredients that comprise our post-workout formula, but we've never revealed the exact ratios between the compounds and which ones were the real keys to making the drink effective.
Well, we're not stupid (most of the time, anyway). This formula may be one of the most powerful supplements to ever hit the market. We know that, and our competitors know it. Accordingly, we want to protect our investment in the formula, plus we need to be compensated for our efforts.
After all, fair is fair. We paid the R-and-D price, and we had the ingenuity and know-how to successfully accomplish the goal. It wasn't easy, either. If simply throwing some glucose, maltodextrin, whey-protein hydrolysate, and BCCAs into a few ounces of water was effective, we wouldn't have made the formula.
But that wasn't the case at all. To make the drink produce the anabolic/anti-catabolic effects we were after, we had to spend a lot of time in the lab testing our theories. And I'm here to tell you it's tough to make this stuff and get everything right.
Anyway, Biotest Surge is one of those supplements that actually works a whole bunch better than you could ever hope for. The people who've tried our formula have all had the same experiences. More specifically, they saw dramatic increases in recovery ability, which translated into newfound muscle-mass gains.
In essence, you could say that Biotest Surge turns on the muscle gaining, hyper-drive switch.
