If you’re lifting heavy and often and you want your muscles to grow to their maximum potential, you need to protect them from catabolic forces whenever possible. That means preventing muscle breakdown! The most basic, unavoidable reality when it comes to muscle growth is that you must ensure that more amino acids are entering the muscle tissue throughout the day than are leaving it.
To achieve this delicate but crucial balance, you’ve got to be regularly making the most important amino acids available to your muscles. Defend has been formulated with all of the most anabolic and anti-catabolic amino acids required by the human body in an unbelievable tasting powdered drink mix, so you’ll never be caught short when it comes to supplying your muscles with the most potent building blocks required for their growth and repair! Defend is designed to be used throughout the day, either with meals to enhance the amino acid profile of your diet or between meals as an anticatabolic. It also makes a perfect Intra-Workout or Post-Workout supplement (along with your protein shake) as a broader spectrum alternative to BCAAs.
Remember, Defend is designed for athletes and military personnel who want to avoid muscle breakdown and maximise their exercise recovery, strength and lean muscle mass. It is an advanced, new, full-spectrum amino acid product, which contains every amino acid required to build and repair muscle. Also, virtually all of the amino acids found in Defend are delivered in both the peptide-bonded and free forms, for a broader range of absorption and kinetics. Finally, Defend is formulated with key nutrients to enhance absorption, uptake and retention of its vital amino acid payload.
RESEARCH
Several key, powerful and cutting-edge ingredients have been added to Defend, including: High-Dosage Leucine is probably the single most important amino acid for bodybuilders and strength and power athletes. This BCAA, even at modest levels, can literally “turn on” muscle-building activity. No other single amino acid is known to do this to any significant extent on its own. Also, studies suggest that adding additional leucine to Protein can increase the magnitude of protein synthesis (the process that builds muscle).Defend contains both peptide-bound and freeform leucine [1]. Astragin Astragin®, a patented combination of Astragalus and Panax Notoginseng has been added to Defend to support optimum absorption. Impressive results have been obtained using this ingredient from scientific studies into its activity in Human intestinal Caco-2 cells, which have the responsibility for nutrient absorption from the gut. L-Citrulline DL-Malate Of all of the amino acids, citrulline has been found to increase nitric oxide and blood flow the most, more than arginine and other amino acids
High nitric oxide levels and improved blood flow have been associated with increased weight training performance, increased muscle protein synthesis, increased Protein content in muscle, reduced fatigue, increased energy production and increased creatine phosphate production [2,3,4].
Alpha lipoic acid has been demonstrated in scientific studies to have a positive impact on insulin function in the body and effects on supporting creatine uptake and retention in the muscle cells.
Glutamine peptides have long been recognised as a stable form of glutamine by bodybuilders and other strength athletes who use them for their purported cell-volumising and anticatabolic effect synthesis, increased protein content in muscle, reduced fatigue, increased energy production and increased creatine phosphate production [2,3,4].

Wat de artikelen in uw winkelwagen betreft, kunt u uit de volgende verzendmogelijkheden naar Verenigde Staten kiezen:
U kunt artikelen binnen 365 dagen naar Wiggle terugsturen, met uitzondering van cadeaubonnen, sportvoeding en gepersonaliseerde artikelen (tenzij het een defect artikel betreft). De kosten die de klant bij het postkantoor moet betalen vallen voor eigen rekening wanneer artikelen ongewenst zijn.
Let op: fietsen en andere grote en zware voorwerpen kunnen niet via ons lokale adres (waar beschikbaar) geretourneerd worden. Neem contact met ons op zodat we deze artikelen bij u kunnen komen ophalen tegen gereduceerd koerierstarief. Alleen in het geval van een defect artikel is deze dienst gratis.
Wij verwachten dat geretourneerde producten nog voorzien zijn van alle labels en kaartjes en in hun originele verpakking bij ons terugkomen. Gebruik de originele doos bij een product NIET als verzenddoos, maar gebruik de Wiggle doos of envelop. Schade aan een originele verpakking verhindert de doorverkoop van een product. Zijn artikelen al duidelijk gebruikt, gewassen of op een andere wijze gepersonaliseerd, dan kunt u het artikel niet retour sturen, tenzij het een defect product betreft. Wiggle zal u de verzendkosten alleen vergoeden wanneer u defecte artikelen retour stuurt.
