Velositol®: Significant Results with Just One Dose
Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is the process that creates muscle growth and recovery. Just a single dose of Velositol added to protein is clinically shown to increase MPS significantly more than protein alone. This is key for improving lean body mass and faster muscle recovery.
Clinical study results showed that Velositol
- significantly increased MPS versus protein alone (p<0.05)
- doubled the power of protein after just a single dose*
- was shown to create a small, non-significant increase in insulin levels
- demonstrated no change to blood glucose levels over control
*Velositol was studied in a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, active-controlled crossover study in which participants were given a single dose of Velositol with 6 grams of protein or 6 grams of protein alone, and completed eight sets of leg extensions up to 80 percent of their estimated maximum. Study visits and muscle biopsies were done to measure MPS over an eight hour time period. MPS was measured by calculating the fractional synthesis rate (FSR).
The safety of Velositol has been evaluated in preclinical and clinical studies. In addition, the safety of the individual components has been extensively tested. This information has been evaluated and approved for use in dietary nutritional supplements, bars and beverages.
