With the successful extraction of insulin-like growth factor type 1 from whey protein, SST-1: IGF is a revolutionary discovery for all athletes. Blackstone Labs used a molecular biological technique to extract 175 ug/100g, which is a substantial amount of IGF-1. Blackstone Labs has found a way to make this revolutionary compound affordable with the development of efficient extraction methods from whey peptides for the production of IGF-1.
An IGF-1 precursor and growth hormone mimic, SST-1: GH will increase and develop new muscle. If improved sense of well being, increased muscle mass and protein synthesis, increased lean muscle, higher energy levels, increased endurance, increased flexibility, increased libido and improved immune function are your goals - then SST-1: GH from Blackstone is just what the doctor ordered!
IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor-1) (from NPX-GF Whey Protein Isolate) (22.5mcg) Blackstone Labs, which is a company known for hardcore and innovative products, focused on the known growth factors in whey peptides, growth hormone (GH) and the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). Blackstone Labs knew that new cells in the body occurs primarily through what is known as the GH/IGF axis wherein the presence of GH triggers and enhances the many effects of the IGFs. IGF-1, or insulin like growth factor-1, has also become popular with athletes as its aids in making an athlete bigger, faster and stronger. It may also boost muscle, reduce fat and improve endurance.
The most important factor to consider is IGF-1's ability to achieve hyperplasia. When you use performance enhancing ingredients, they will help the body through hypertrophy, which means you are increasing the size of the existing muscle cells. On the other hand, IGF-1 will cause hyperplasia, which means you are actually increasing the number of cells in the muscle tissue. These new cells can be utilized through further training to make bigger muscles. In essence, you will have the ability to achieve more muscle density and size at the genetic level by using IGF-1. Blackstone Labs takes a great invention (IGF-1 peptide derived from whey) and makes it a superior product (SST-1: IGF). Our proprietary in-house Liposomal Delivery (LD) system is an applied coating which allows IGF-1 to readily dissolve in liquids and ensures the IGF-1 will bypass digestion; will be transported through the bowel wall; will circulate throughout the body; will reach the organs and cells; and remain bioavailable at the cellular level. Liposomal Delivery makes IGF-1 (and other hormones and nutrients) up to 1,500 % more bioavailable. Without Liposomal Delivery, IGF-1 loses most of its effectiveness. The Liposomal Delivery difference means that products from Blackstone Labs do what they say.
Mucuna Pruriens Extract (seed) (Yielding 500mg L-Dopa per serving) (540mg) SST-1: GH is based primarily upon the active ingredient L-DOPA (also called Levodopa or L-DOPA) (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine)
Blackstone Labs set out to utilize its Liposomal process it has used with its series of prohormones and has hit pay dirt! Our liposome-based strategy for effective ingredient delivery across the blood-brain barrier was especially effect in L-Dopa's case. L-DOPA is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid, synthesized from L-tyrosine, and found in some foods and herbs. L-DOPA containing Mucuna pruriens cam also elevate human growth hormone as results of several studies. In one study it was confirmed to increase growth hormone release 60–110 min following a single oral dose of 500 mg of L-DOPA also confirmed that L-DOPA therapy, appears to elevate plasma growth hormone. Growth hormone (GH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland regulated by two hypothalamic peptides: GH-releasing hormone (GHRH), which stimulates GH synthesis and secretion, and somatostatin, which inhibits GH release without affecting GH synthesis. The major influence of GH is its anabolic effect on bodily tissues, including growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As a result, GH plays an important role helping the body to adapt to heavy physical stress (eg, resistance training). The main physiologic functions of GH include increased protein synthesis, increased lipolysis, increased collagen synthesis, increased cartilage growth, decreased glycogen synthesis and glucose utilization, and enhanced immune cell function. However, levodopa cannot be administered alone, since it has multiple side effects and doesn't readily cross the blood brain barrier. Blackstone testers have all raved about the benefits they have gotten when taking SST-1: GH, which shows Blackstone has solved the age old question about how to make this powerful compound more effective.
Anterior Pituitary Peptides (450mg) The second powerful compound in SST-1: GH is anterior pituitary peptides. The pituitary gland is about the size of a bean, and it hangs by a stalk from the hypothalamus. Even though the gland is tiny, its power should not be underestimated. In fact, this gland is sometimes referred to as the 'master gland' because hormones from this gland affect your body's metabolism, growth and development, and libido. Growth hormone is a hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that promotes growth. It does this in a number of ways, including stimulating cells to grow and divide, increasing bone and muscle growth, and increasing protein synthesis. The anterior pituitary has been shown to contain a wide variety of bioactive peptides. Anterior pituitary peptides contain GH-secreting peptides that trigger growth hormone release in the body. However, similar to L-Dopa anterior pituitary peptides have low oral bioavailability. However, when manufactured into a liposomal form Anterior pituitary peptides promote natural production and release of HGH. Blackstone has developed the perfect one-two punch with respect to GH by using anterior pituitary peptides and Mucuna pruriens containing L-Dopa utilizing its proprietary liposomal technology.
