Ingredients

Muscle Mechanic Complex – 8,000 mg

Branched-Chain Amino Acids

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) consist of leucine, isoleucine and valine. Branched-chain amino acids stimulate protein synthesis and muscle growth.1

During exercise, BCAAs keep your testosterone levels high and give you energy, and this prevents muscle breakdown during exercise.2 BCAAs also give you more energy by triggering the release of norepinephrine, so you can work harder and to your full limit.3

After a workout, BCAAs speed your recovery by triggering insulin release4 and reducing pain and muscle inflammation,5 ultimately pushing you back into a muscle-building anabolic state.6

Arginine

Arginine, an amino acid that produces nitric oxide and muscle pumps, is highly effective and works in synergy with BCAAs to dramatically stop muscle breakdown cold.7

Muscle Inflammation Complex – 500 mg

Exclzyme® EN – Enteric Coated Systemic Enzymes

Exclzyme EN’s specialized systemic enzymes are clinically proven to make your immune system stronger8 and to dramatically speed your recovery, getting you bigger and faster in record time!9

After a hard workout, pro-inflammatory chemicals prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) amplify the inflammation caused by a hard workout, and this causes excessive cortisol release – and muscle breakdown.

Exclzyme EN’s specialized systemic enzymes are proven to decrease PGE-2 and IL-6 activity,4,2 and this leads to dramatically lower cortisol secretions and an astounding 65% reduction of inflammation.10 This helps prevent delayed onset muscle soreness (D.O.M.S.) and ensures that you keep the muscle you have and build more faster than ever!

To help enhance absorption and effectiveness, the Exclzyme in AGENT•M® is enteric coated. This specialized coating uses an altered pH level to prevent ingredient breakdown in stomach acids, ensuring that virtually 100% of every dose is delivered to your muscles intact.

Absorption Initiator – 3 mg

Bioperine® Piper nigrum (Black Pepper)
Bioperine contains 95% piperine. Piperine is clinically proven to give you more bang for your buck by increasing enzyme absorption and effectiveness by as much as 60%.11
