Product Description

Optimised Research Labs – Phosphatidic Acid

30 DAY SUPPLY – 90 CAPSULES

You may be familiar with the term ‘m-TOR’, as it has gained considerable attention in the field of exercise physiology since its discovery in the 1990s. This is due to its role as the master regulator of muscle growth. You are probably less likely to be familiar with phosphatidic acid. Yet this little known, naturally occurring supplement has the ability to activate the m-TOR pathway to maximise muscle growth and repair.

In order to appreciate just how effective phosphatidic acid M-TOR is, we first need to understand what m-TOR is and what it does, and phosphatidic acid’s role in its function.

m-TOR, or to give it its full name, the mammalian target of rapamycin, is a protein that regulates cell growth, protein synthesis, and other essential cellular processes. It functions as a regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and survival by acting as a central hub for coordinating responses to nutrient availability and energy levels within the cell. It responds to various signals including nutrients, growth factors, and energy status to control cellular processes. When activated, m-TOR initiates a cascade of events that lead to increased muscle protein synthesis. This activation of m-TOR signalling is essential for mechanically induced changes in skeletal muscle mass. Exposing muscles to increased mechanical loading, such as through strength training, stimulates muscle protein synthesis leading to increases in muscle size and strength.

Phosphatidic acid is a phospholipid, a type of fat molecule, which occurs naturally in the body and in a limited number of foods, such as radishes and cabbage. Technically speaking, it consists of a glycerol backbone with two fatty acids and one phosphate group attached. It plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including cell signalling. Its role in muscle protein synthesis and growth has received considerable attention recently as it has been shown to activate the m-TOR signalling pathway directly and enhance the anabolic effects of resistance training. It does this by binding to specific sites on m-TOR.

So, while resistance training induces mechanical stress on muscles, which naturally activates the m-TOR pathway, supplementation with phosphatidic acid amplifies this effect, leading to even greater activation of m-TOR and, consequently, greater muscle protein synthesis leading to greater muscle growth and repair.

Another similar sounding term to m-TOR is m-TORC. This stands for mammalian target of rapamycin complexes. The term complexes refers to groups of proteins that come together to form a functional unit. Each complex consists of different sets of proteins that dictate their specific functions and mechanisms.

mTOR forms two distinct complexes known as mTORC1 and mTORC2.

mTORC1 plays a critical role in promoting cell growth, protein synthesis, and lipid synthesis. Several signals which regulate mTORC1 have been identified, such as growth factors (e.g. insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), amino acids, mechanical stimuli and energy status. Interestingly, regulation of mTORC1 activity by mechanical stimuli, such as resistance training, is believed to be mediated by phosphatidic acid. The branched-chain amino acid leucine, is also an important regulator of mTORC1 activity.mTORC2 is primarily involved in regulating the cytoskeleton (the cell’s structural framework), and it helps to control cell survival and metabolism. Unlike mTORC1, mTORC2 is less sensitive to nutrients and more responsive to factors such as various hormones and growth signals.

In short, m-TOR is the core protein, while mTORC1 and mTORC2 are complexes that include mTOR and other proteins, each with specific roles in cellular signalling.

It would be reasonable to think that if phosphatidic acid occurs naturally in the body, and in a number of foods, why do we need to supplement it?

The fact is that it is contained only in a limited number of foods and then in small amounts, with the greatest found in vegetables belonging to Brassicaceae, such as cabbage, which contain approximately 700 nmol/g (approximately 0.5 mg/g). However, as we shall see, studies have employed doses varying from 250 mg to 750 mg. As such, the amount of phosphatidic acid found in the diet is negligible in comparison to that shown to be effective (10). Hence the need for supplementation.

Phosphatidic Acid has been shown scientifically to play a vital role in the activation of the m-TOR pathway. This provides a number of key benefits, which include:

Increasing muscle protein synthesisIncreasing muscle sizeIncreasing muscle strengthImproving body compositionReducing body fatEnhancing post-exercise recoveryReducing the effects of overtrainingReducing cortisol levels

WHAT IS PHOSPHATIDIC ACID?

Phosphatidic acid is a phospholipid, a type of fat molecule, which occurs naturally in the body and in a limited number of foods, such as radishes and cabbage. Technically speaking, it consists of a glycerol backbone with two fatty acids and one phosphate group attached.

PHOSPHATIDIC ACID BENEFITS

Numerous studies have shown phosphatidic acid to be an effective stimulator of m-TOR, the key regulator of cell growth, protein synthesis, and muscle hypertrophy, especially in response to resistance training. Its benefits do not only include enhancing muscle size and strength, but also fat loss and post-exercise recovery, and reducing the effects of overtraining.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

TRAINING DAYS: 3 Capsules 30 minutes before training.

REST DAYS: 3 Capsules in the morning.

Take on an empty stomach.

Do not exceed the stated dose.

Premium Grade Phosphatidic Acid Suitable for Natural Athletes Powerful Anabolic Effect Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) Not Required Suitable for Vegans

Numerous studies have shown Phosphatidic Acid to be an effective stimulator of m-TOR, the key regulator of cell growth, protein synthesis, and muscle hypertrophy. Its benefits do not only include enhancing muscle size and strength, but also fat loss and post-exercise recovery, and reducing the effects of overtraining. While phosphatidic acid is found naturally in a limited number of foods, it occurs at very low levels in comparison to the amount needed to achieve the desired beneficial effects. This is where Optimised Research Labs Phosphatidic Acid can make a valuable contribution to your nutrition strategy, as it not only contains phosphatidic acid of the highest quality, but its 750 mg dose has been shown scientifically to be highly effective at stimulating m-TOR. As Phosphatidic Acid M-TOR is a non-hormonal formula, it is safe and effective with none of the side effects associated with hormone related supplements.

Studies have shown that Epicatechin provides numerous benefits for health & performance including increasing muscle size & strength, enhancing exercise performance & increasing nitric oxide production. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, as it helps the body to manage stress, & also provides many other benefits including increasing testosterone & muscle size & strength, improving sleep, immunity, cognitive function & memory. Shilajit has been shown to provide many benefits for health & performance. These range from increasing testosterone, strength & endurance to reducing anxiety, & enhancing cognitive function & recovery from exercise. Turkesterone has been shown to provide a range of benefits for health & performance including increasing muscle size & strength, reducing body fat, enhancing post-exercise recovery & improving carbohydrate metabolism. Fadogia Agrestis is a natural testosterone booster and works by stimulating luteinising hormone which signals the body to produce more testosterone. It also helps improve recovery by promoting muscle protein synthesis and reducing fatigue.
