An anabolic peptide product geared towards improving muscle recovery and growth.
Anabolic, Anti-Catabolic, & What These Terms Mean for You:
The terms anabolic and anti-catabolic get mentioned a lot, but some people hear them and don’t really, fully understand what they mean or how important they are to muscle growth and muscle retention.
Here are some definitions that may help:
- Anabolic State – a state in which the body builds or repairs muscle tissue.
- Catabolic State – a state in which the body is breaking down or losing muscle tissue.
- Anabolic (Maximizing Muscle Growth) – promotes muscle growth.
- Anti-Catabolic (Minimizing Muscle Protein Breakdown) – supports reduced muscle protein breakdown to help retain lean muscle.
In simple terms, being in an anabolic state means that your body is building and repairing muscle tissue whereas being in a catabolic state means that the body is trying to break down muscle tissue.
A supplement with anabolic properties helps support you building muscle.
A supplement with anti-catabolic properties helps support retaining muscle.
Think of it like the proverbial 2 steps forward 3 steps back analogy. The body is in a constant process of trying to build but also trying to break down muscle tissue for a variety of bodily functions.
For athletes, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts, the amount of lean muscle that you keep is just as important, if not more important, than the amount of muscle that you actually gain because more muscle retained is more muscle to add new muscle onto.
For healthy aging, the amount of lean muscle that a person can maintain can be extremely important for both their physical and emotional well-being.
Pepti-Plex contains multiple ingredients that have both Anabolic and Anti-Catabolic properties!
