An enthusiastic hello from ATHLETIC EDGE NUTRITION.We our pleased to announce that 2006 has been our strongest year yet, with the launch of IntraXCell, our Beta--Alanine, carnosine booster in convenient capsule form http://www.bulknutrition.com/?products_id=5625 and our new and improved Full Spectrum Pre-Workout Formula SteelEdge(currently on backorder). When we have SteelEdge we will be offering free samples.

Many of you may not be aware of Athletic Edge Nutrition (AEN), which is understandable, as until recently we have had no representation on any of the forums, nor until recently have we advertised in any of the major magazines. We have been in existence since early 2005 and have mostly sold our products through bricks and mortar stores around the country.

In particular we have been trying to bring much needed attention to the [PLINK=1774]Beta--Alanine category and have a monster thread over at another forum, which already has compiled more information/research on Beta-- Alanine and carnosine than anywhere else on the internet. In the short time we have been there, we have created a tremendous amount of buzz, not only about our product IntraXCell but the entire Beta-Alanine carnosine category. New threads on Beta--Alanine are popping up everyday now and much of the information learned has been from our FAQ thread called “IntraXCell-FAQ-The DEFINITIVE Beta-AlanineCarnosine post”

The logs and the feedback so far, have been exceptional, with our products exceeding most people’s hopes.

On this forum, we look to offer support, run promotions and chose product testers for both of our products in the near future.

Our reps are Skircus7, NKWulf and Cobain67, please don’t hesitate to PM them or myself if you have any questions.[/color]


PS, check out the four page product review on IntraXCell in the months issue of Muscular Development (Feb issue).




Athletic Edge Nutrition Presents :IntraXCell

The World’s First Beta--Alanine, Carnosine Boosting Formula in convenient capsule form.


Boost Strength and Increase Lean Muscle Gains with IntraXCell!

Athletic Edge Nutrition, The Nutrient Timing Specialists, is pleased to introduce IntraXCell, the biggest scientific breakthrough in physique enhancement and athletic performance since creatine. We have scientifically formulated precise doses of four key ingredients to create a product that will work synergistically to increase intramuscular Carnosine and Glutathione levels, which boosts strength, lean muscle mass and fights muscular fatigue at the cellular level.

The Result: Explosive Strength and Endurance, forcing lean muscle gains, physique improvements and muscular GROWTH!


IntraXCell is scientifically formulated to:

•Boost Explosive Muscular Strength and Endurance, Forcing Lean Muscle Gains.

•Increase Intracellular Carnosine Levels and Fight Muscular Fatigue & Metabolic Acidosis.

•Extreme Muscle Fullness and Vascularity.

•Naturally Boost the Power Antioxidant Glutathione and Fight Cellular Fatigue.



History is about to be made once again!


Until now, creatine, with numerous research studies to support its effectiveness, was the leading supplement for improving exercise and muscular performance. Since creatine exploded into the sports nutrition world in the early 90’s, our understanding of exercise physiology and sports nutrition has evolved exponentially. Exciting new research has given rise to another breakthrough, one that could change the direction of the industry like creatine did so many years ago..





Boost Strength & Lean Muscle Gains!


When you exercise or train at a high intensity, your muscles increase their production of hydrogen ions (H+) which lowers muscular pH, making them more acidic. This increase in muscular acidity (also called metabolic acidosis) directly interferes with muscular contraction, energy (ATP) production and increases fatigue, all factors that cause your performance to plummet. While muscle acidity has certainly proven to decrease strength and contribute to muscular fatigue, new research is now showing that exercise-induced intracellular free radical production is another source of muscular fatigue. The combination of muscular acidity and increased free radical production greatly diminishes your performance during exercise, stopping your workouts cold and interfering with lean muscle gains.

Fortunately, Athletic Edge Nutrition has developed a tool you can use to combat intracellular acidity and free radical production, pushing your performance, physique and results to the next level.


IntraXCell works to boosts strength, fight cellular fatigue and increase lean muscle gains in two ways:



1. Contains research supported Beta-Alanine, which effectively boosts
intramuscular carnosine levels, which works to fight/buffer fatigue-causing
Hydrogen Ions, allowing for extreme muscular strength, power and
endurance.

2. Increases production of the power antioxidant glutathione with N-acetyl-
cystine (NAC) and Alpha-Lipoic Acid. Glutathione is a power antioxidant
in your muscle cells that can improve exercise performance by preventing
damaging free radicals than can cause cellular fatigue.

Q: Who can benefit from IntraXCell?


•Individuals participating in weight training looking to gain lean muscle mass and increase strength.

•Any individual involved in athletic activities where strength, power and muscular endurance are needed.

•Active individuals who have reached a training plateau and are looking for something to take them to the next level.


Q: How long will it take for me to start noticing benefits?


Performance benefits typically start occurring in as little as two weeks, although some individuals will notice benefits within one week. As carnosine levels continue to increase, so will the benefits. The most dramatic results are generally experienced within the 3-4 week range, but they don’t stop there. Recent research is now showing carnosine levels continue to increase up to at least 12 weeks, so the benefits just keep on getting better which is why we recommend to continuously stay on IntraXCell for at least 3 months to optimize your carnosine levels.

Immediate benefits: Many users experience intense vasodilatation/pumps from the very first time they take their first does of IntraXCell. The reason this occurs is because Beta-Alanine increases carnosine and carnosine is a powerful precursor in generating nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NOS are a group of enzymes necessary for making the powerful vasodilator nitric oxide. Take IntraXCell with SteelEdge prior to exercise and let us know your experience. We are confident that you will be very pleased pumps/vasodilatation from your very first workout.

Q: There are a few other carnosine boosters out there, what makes IntraXCell different?


•With IntraXCell, you get a large 4 gram dose of Beta-Alanine per day complying with the actual dosage used in the scientific research. Other carnosine boosters put Beta-Alanine in proprietary blends and do not list the amount, so it’s impossible unless the company discloses the actual Beta-Alanine content for you to know if you are really getting a high enough dose to build up carnosine levels and reap all the benefits!

•Some formula’s that contain Beta-Alanine are Pre-Workout formulas. To increase intramuscular carnosine levels, research shows that daily supplementation of Beta-Alanine is required to boost carnosine levels. As a result, putting Beta-Alanine in a true Pre-Workout formula unless you are supplementing with extra Beta-Alanine separately or work out 7 days a week will not likely build carnosine levels up very effectively.

•IntraXCell is designed with no stimulants so it can be taken anytime during the day everyday including late night workout sessions. At Athletic Edge Nutrition we do no recommend taking stimulants everyday, so putting any stimulants in IntraXCell or any Carnosine booster would not be logical from our standpoint.

•IntraXCell is a true carnosine/glutathione booster without the unnecessary fluff that’s added to some of the other carnosine boosters currently on the market.

Q: Who can benefit from IntraXCell?


• Individuals participating in weight training looking to gain lean muscle mass and increase strength.

• Any individual involved in athletic activities where strength, power and muscular endurance are needed.

• Active individuals who have reached a training plateau and are looking for something to take them to the next level.


Q: How should I take IntraXCell?


Take two servings daily. IntraXCell may be taken with or without food, but we recommend it be taken with food as food may dampen the prickling sensation that some individuals experience from the Beta-Alanine content.

On Training days: Take one serving 15-20 minutes prior to exercise (can be conveniently taken with our Pre-Workout formula SteelEdge) and take one serving post workout. This protocol serves two purposes. One, it takes advantage the pre-workout timing benefits of increased blood flow driving Beta-Alanine into the working muscles. Two, the carbohydrate content in SteelEdge speeds up how quickly Beta-Alanine increases its performance benefits and there may also be synergy with the caffeine content in SteelEdge.

On Non-training days: Continue to take two servings daily with food.

Q: What is the effective dose of Beta-Alanine needed to effectively boost intramuscular carnosine levels leading to performance benefits?


3.2 to 6.4 grams per day (IntraXCell has 4 grams per serving).


Q: How long will a bottle of IntraXCell last me?


There are 60 servings in a bottle of IntraXCell. Two servings daily, will give you exactly one month worth of product. With a strong 4 gram dose of beta-alanine per day, you will see benefits much faster than lower dosed Beta-Alanine products.


Q: If one of the building blocks of carnosine is histidine, wouldn't it be beneficial to include it with beta-alanine to further boost muscle carnosine levels?


No, it wouldn't. Histidine is already present in high concentrations in muscle, while beta-alanine is present only in small amounts. Scientists have determined and demonstrated that it is beta-alanine that drives the intra-muscular synthesis of carnosine, not histidine.


Q: What other supplements do you recommend to maximize the results when taking IntraXCell?


•We recommend our Full Spectrum Pre-Workout Formula, SteelEdge. SteelEdge contains many ingredients that may work synergistically with IntraXCell. On training days, take IntraXCell with SteelEdge to amplify the benefits of each product.

•Creatine is another supplement that works well with IntraXCell and they can certainly be stacked together.



Q: Are their any stimulants in IntraXCell?


No.

Q: Can I take IntraXCell late at night?


Yes.


Q: Where can I purchase

These are some great looking products. I just started taking beta-alanine and have to admit it's a pretty good supplement.

I added the links to the bottom so it gets picked up on the main store.

That's sounds interesting. I'd like to try it out one day. Have you read Dr. Jeff Stout's research on beta-alanine? Along with his research, he did a synergistic trial of creatine ethyl ester with it. The results were pretty amazing.

I take about 3g a day pre-workout. The only thing I don't like is the irritating itchy feeling you get all over your body when it kicks in. It only last for a few minutes, and for the most part goes away a little longer, but at least you know the stuff is in your system.

The Creatine and Beta-alanine study recently put on pubmed showed know synergistic effect on increasing endurance over just beta-alanine. But when has creatine ever really improved endurance. It's better for boosting strength thus they should have tried a different method to measure if there is really any synergistic effect.

Also how is intracell better than just regular beta-alanine? Will the addition of the other ingredients make a noticeable difference?
