It's not squats; it's not low carb dieting or restricting water intake to several ounces per day. NO, it's not even the 10 to 15 painful injections per week. The killer challenge that bodybuilders, fitness competitors and everyone (you included) must endure is eating 6 to 7 real food meals everyday! Frequent consumption of real food is critical for building and maintaining a lean and muscular body. Anyone who has played the iron game long enough figures out that real food is superior than MRP's or protein shakes for bodybuilding success. This is precisely why VPX has been on a five year scientific journey to develop a supplement that possesses far greater anabolic and anti-catabolic properties than real food. In October of 2001 VPX celebrated victory over real food with a Bioactive Superfood called, Micellean!

Macronutrient Profile

Evaluating protein based only on absorption would lead us to the faulty conclusion that various whey proteins and free form amino acids are superior protein sources. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Creating a meal replacement from a medical perspective has to begin with a pharmacokinetic approach. A combination of slow, intermediate and fast proteins must be meticulously formulated and serve as the foundation of what will be referred to from now on as the SUPERFOOD.

We learned years ago that, although the fastest absorbed, free form amino acids are vastly inferior to chains of several or more linked amino acids, called peptides. Now many years later it has now been proven that slowly dispersed proteins out perform fast-acting proteins (even ones with higher biological values). Introducing the medical/pharmaceutical term, pharmacokinetics to the nutrition industry, VPX understands the need for certain substances like protein, methoxyflavone, prohormones, etc…to be dispersed continuously throughout the bloodstream and shuttled into the muscle in "steady state" fashion.

While the trend in the industry has been to focus merely on absorption, VPX always looks at the total Pharmacokinetic picture. Pharmacokinetics scientifically evaluates how drugs or nutrients are metabolized with particular emphasis on 1) time required for absorption, 2) duration of action, 3) distribution in the body and 4) method of excretion.

Because of its' dramatic influence on body composition, countless real food protein, carbs and fat were researched, analyzed and then compared to protein and meal replacement powders. In creating Micellean Bioactive Superfood VPX had to take a fresh scientific approach and toss out all previous groundwork laid by other compares. From the lack of undenatured new-age protein and EFA's to high glycemic carbs, today's MRP's offered no insight whatsoever into developing a superfood. VPX initial step was to create a product free from the myriad of nutrients and additives that were counter-products to fat loss, muscle growth, and overall health.
