Hello,

I'd like to update you on the progress of Body Science ® - Independent scientific research has shown Myocytin to be superior to standard creatine (Rogerson and co-workers, 2003).

That’s a big claim, sounds like normal supplement company marketing crap.

Please read on as we believe that wasting somebody else's time is the height of rudeness.

As an athlete you only have only so many hours, limited funds and none to waste.

Very few companies are able to back up their marketing claims with published scientific research.

The fact is that talk is cheap, yet scientific research is expensive.

Our exciting INDEPENDENT RESEARCH has revealed that you can gain twice as much body mass, increase upper arm girth by more than 200 per cent and blow your bench press personal best through the roof in only six days by using Body Science® Myocytin ® rather than ‘traditional’ creatine.

Want to know more?

Most creatine studies compare creatine with a placebo.

A placebo is basically an inactive substance that has no beneficial effect on performance.

It is correct to say that numerous studies have shown creatine to be superior to placebo at enhancing athletic performance (Bemben and co-workers, 2001;Volek and co-workers 1999; Izquiredo and co-workers, 2002).

What is special about the Myocytin research is that Myocytin was compared to standard creatine instead of a placebo.

Therefore Myocytin was shown to enhance athletic performance more than standard creatine.

This is remarkable when it is considered that creatine is already acclaimed world wide as a very effective means of enhancing athletic performance.

In only SIX DAYS athletes ingesting Myocytin™

1. gained more than twice as much body mass as those consuming regular creatine
2. increased upper arm girth by more than 200 per cent more than regular creatine users
3. improved their bench press performance significantly more than users of regular creatine.

What’s even more interesting is that several of the athletes in the standard creatine group recorded NO BENEFITS, while EVERY athlete in the Myocytin group increased mass, arm girth and bench press performance.

Scientific research often classifies individuals into either responders or non-responders (Kilduff and co-workers, 2002). Basically, following creatine supplementation some individuals don’t seem to be able to increase their muscle creatine concentrations to the degree that is necessary to see any benefits in performance. In a recent study comparing Myocytin to standard creatine, several individuals in the standard creatine group did not seem to benefit (Rogerson and co-workers., 2003). These individuals or “non-responders” didn’t gain any body mass or receive any performance enhancement despite ingesting 120g of creatine in 6 days. However, in the Myocytin group, EVERY SINGLE ATHLETE increased their bench press performance, upper arm girth and body mass. That means that EVERY ATHLETE in the Myocytin group responded to Myocytin. This is likely attributed to the fact that Myocytin is scientifically formulated to facilitate creatine retention within the skeletal muscle. Therefore when you purchase standard creatine it is like a lucky dip in that you may benefit or you may not. Independent scientific research suggests that an athlete ingesting Myocytin may have a higher likelihood of experiencing gains in body mass and athletic performance than an athlete ingesting standard creatine (Rogerson and co-workers, 2003).

I believe that the lessons we're learning in this fight for improved athletic performance will lead to many other benefits. As we work to help isolate the lack of sports research, we're also helping to build an infrastructure that will enhance the reliability, efficiency and safety of athletes, and of sports science in general. Body Science is committed to continuing our research efforts — a goal I'm confident will be achieved. More information about our product range is available at http://www.bodyscience.com.au .
