How Muscle Growth Occurs

Resistance exercise stimulates muscle protein turnover. This is how muscle fiber function improves. Newer, better functioning fibers are synthesized to replace older ones that are not functioning as well. Both muscle protein breakdown and protein synthesis are stimulated by exercise.

Through resistance exercise, the efficiency of protein synthesis is increased so that it is slightly greater than the increase in breakdown. the stimulation of protein synthesis is limited, however, because some of the essential amino acids released by protein breakdown are oxidized and not available for synthesis.

Thus, even though the muscle is able to produce new protein more efficiently, the balance between muscle protein synthesis and breakdown remains negative (i.e. net loss of muscle protein) in the absence of nutrient intake.

Resistance exercise does not result in a positive muscle protein balance if you are a power lifter and perform only two or three lifts of maximal exertion in a workout, or if you are a distance runner and doing 30 reps of a lift to tone and tighten muscle.

So what is the answer?

You must consume essential amino acids to at least balance those oxidized during the exercise to result in a net increase in muscle mass...

Gaining Strength....

The persistence of the net breakdown of muscle protein during and after resistance exercise can only be revered by consuming nutrients, specifically essential amino acids.

By taking MyoHealth 30 minutes before resistance exercise, the muscle is put into a very anabolic state. if  MyoHelth is consumed immediately after the exercise, there is also a stimulation of net muscle protein synthesis, but less that if given before the workout.

The importance of taking Myohealth before your workout is that the net breakdown of muscle protein during the workout will be prevented. This is because the increase in blood during the exercise will deliver ingested amino acids into the muscle.

By increasing the blood concentrations of essential amino acids, the concentration gradients will force essential amino acids into the muscle cells. (without MyoHealth the essential amino acids would be forced out of the muscle into the blood rather than beign taken up into your muscles)

Consuming MyoHealth after the workout will further stimulate protein synthesis and prolong the anabolic response. The optimal approach is to take MyoHealth bother before and after your workouts if possible.

Something else occurs when you combine resistance training and MyoHealth, Both stimulate muscle protein synthesis, and the combined effect is greater than either of their individual effects.

You can consider it as if the resistance exercise "primes" the muscle to produce protein at an accelerated rate, but muscle protein synthesis is limited by the avialiabilty of essential amino acids in the fasted state.  MyoHealth is rapidly consumed by the muscle, in part because the blood flow to the muscle is increased by resistance exercise, and in-part because the molecular mechanisms in the muscles cells that regulate the rate of synthesis are turned on.

The net result is that the major gain in muscle mass that occurs after resistance exercise is due to the combine effects of the exercise and the increased availabilities of essential amino acids!
