Every hero has a weakness. For many weightlifters and bodybuilders this is their joints. Tendons and ligaments bear the brunt of punishing weight-lifting sessions, commonly becoming inflamed and sore.
The connective tissue just can’t keep up with the heavier and heavier weights lifted week after week.
Niggling pains become chronic injuries, often requiring a forced rest, a change of routine or the permanent dropping of some exercises altogether.
Key Ingredients:
Palmitoylethanolamide
40 years of scientific research has established Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) as one of the most important endogenous painkilling and anti-inflammatory compounds.
The naturally occurring fatty acid amide palmitoylethanolamide is an agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α). PPAR-α agonists have been shown to be effective for both acute and chronic pain.
PEA can modulate pain sensitivity (nociception) by regulating mast cells. Mast cells release bioactive mediators like histamine (that dilates blood vessels leading to swelling, redness, and warmth) and nerve growth factor (that produces inflammation and sensitization of pain-sensing neurons).
Heteropterys Aphrodisiaca
Brazilian traditional medicine uses H. aphrodisiaca for, among other things, muscle and bone weakness – use that has been borne out recently when a study found that H. aphrodisiaca-treated trained rats had stronger tendons that could take a bigger load and more stress than untreated trained rats.
“H. aphrodisiaca associated with endurance training contributed to more efficient remodeling of the extracellular matrix, resulting in more resistant tendons to support high loads from intense muscle contraction. These findings suggest that H. aphrodisiaca infusion is a potential aid to optimize tendon remodeling in athletes.”
