FortagenHP

FortagenHP combines the Fortagen essential amino acid supplement with glucose to rapidly replenish muscle glycogen and enhance cellular hydration, promoting muscle hyperplasia.

As with standard Fortagen, one may consume a single serving of FortagenHP and subtract 50g from their protein consumption targets for that day.

Rapidly Replenish Muscle Glycogen

Consuming glucose immediately before or after a workout can help replenish muscle glycogen and enhance cellular hydration.

As someone trying to build muscle, why would these be important to you?

To understand that, we’ll have to discuss the structure of muscles briefly.

Muscle cells/fibers are surrounded by connective tissue, called muscle fascia. You could think of the muscle fascia as a “bag” that contains and supports muscle cells, and for this reason, researchers coined the term “Bag Theory” to describe the idea that the size of the muscle fascia “bag” affects the growth of muscle cells.

If the “bag” grows, there is evidence that this can promote the growth of entirely new muscle cells within that cellular “container.”

Drive Rapid Regrowth After Rest Periods

Have you ever wondered why athletes who lose muscle mass as a result of detraining can regain the lost mass relatively easily? They benefit during retraining because their muscle fascia had previously been stretched and expanded. That larger “container” for muscle tissue remains and facilitates more rapid regrowth when the individual begins training again.

Combining Glucose with Essential Amino Acids

How can you benefit from this effect? Glucose consumed immediately before or after a workout can be absorbed rapidly into muscle fibers, promoting cellular hydration. Increased cellular glucose uptake and hydration can physically expand the cells, putting pressure on the muscle fascia to trigger an adaptive growth response, enlarging the “bag” and ultimately making room for new muscle cells.

FortagenHP delivers glucose alongside the essential amino acids you need for optimal protein synthesis for building additional connective tissue and muscle, ensuring the best possible result.
