The key to attaining the peak of physical appearance, and performance, in building a lean, muscular toned physique, and having the confidence that comes from it, is ensuring that you complement a healthy, balanced diet with the best quality sports nutrition you can buy.  There’s a reason that Formula 1 cars are not fitted with standard tyres or off the shelf standard unleaded petrol but are instead fitted with the best quality racing rubber and most efficient space-age fuels possible – without them they can’t hope to get the body of the car or the engine to achieve their potential.  Your body is no different.  To achieve its potential you need to make sure it has the very best sports nutrition supplements it can get.

Think of it this way – food (in the form of a balanced, healthy diet) keeps you alive and maintains overall health.  But, top quality sports nutrition supplements turn you into the best ‘you’ that you can possibly be and will mean that you are the person in the gym that others look at and think ‘how do I get to look that good?’  Now don’t we all secretly want a bit of that? 

There are three core areas that will affect your overall training results and it is the approach to these in how you use supplements that will make the difference for you.

The most important, without a doubt, is protein:

Often called the building-block of muscle, protein is important for hundreds of thousands of your body’s functions, from hair growth to immune function and even for the neurotransmitters that connect your body to your brain and help you think. Proteins are made of amino acids, some of which are essential (meaning that our bodies cannot make them and must get them from food or supplements). Try to include protein at every meal and with every snack. If you think that sounds tricky, bear in mind that protein is found in meat, fish, eggs and egg whites, dairy and soya.  Pulses, nuts, seeds and vegetables also contain protein in varying amounts. Consuming protein from these sources is part of the foundation of a good diet and will contribute to your overall physical health and performance.

However, if you strive for an exceptional body and want to gain lean muscle, burn fat or improve sports performance, using soluble protein sources and especially designer protein blends will take your body to another level. Olympic athletes, bodybuilders, personal trainers or even the guy or girl you see in the gym with an awesome muscle-bound and attractive physique consider top quality protein supplements to be essential in achieving their muscle-building goals. When it comes to designer, scientifically-formulated protein supplements Sci-MX Nutrition hails supreme. No other sports nutrition company applies as much scientific research into their formulas which is why they really work. Our suite of protein shakes, each aimed at a different aspect of the protein muscle-building effect, are renowned as being the best you can find.

Within our range we have fast release protein which is great for pre-workout and immediately after as it is absorbed within 20-30 mins of taking it, so it immediately gets to work powering and repairing muscles. Sci-MX ULTRAGEN™ WHEY PROTEIN contains the finest quality, fast-absorbed whey protein available today.

Gradual release forms of protein like casein, egg, soy, pea and bean vary in their release rates of amino acids into your body over a period of several hours and play a vital role in ensuring that your muscle are continually nourished.  This is important to maximise growth potential in your muscles, especially at night when you aren’t taking on any food but when much of your muscle growth will occur. Bear in mind that quality can vary greatly, and you should choose the best-quality protein supplements you can get your hands on.  Our ground-breaking, gradual release GRS-5® PROTEIN SYSTEM, is rightly known as the ‘King of Muscle Builders’ thanks to its unique protein formulation contained within one easy to drink shake.

The next area is carbohydrates, or energy sources.

Every movement or exertion of a muscle, be that in moving weights or running on a treadmill, requires energy to make it happen.  Carbohydrate, stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen, is the body's preferred primary source of fuel for energy. Depending on the type and intensity of the training you do these glycogen stores can be quickly burnt away.  So where should you get your energy from then?  Sci-MX’s scientifically advanced formulations take the guess work out of getting the right energy sources on board to optimize your workouts and maximize your muscle gains and fat loss goals.  Sci-MX has invested more than any other sports nutrition company in research, the result being that you’ll never find yourself in the situation where overtraining sees your body actually consume your hard earned muscle gains for energy.  Our unique products will also help you avoid the situation where you take on too many carbohydrates which can then be stored by the body as fat! 

We could go into loads of detail about different types of carbohydrates and the difference between short and long chain sugars and starches etc. etc.  But all you really need to know is that any of our products that contain carbohydrates do so in the optimal format, combination and level based on scientific research and extensive testing to allow your body to work like a Formula 1 car, leaving everyone else in the gym in your tracks as you power towards the greatest gains possible in lean muscle mass, size and overall body tone and definition possible.  Guaranteed.

So, we’ll worry about the science and the right levels of this and that in our products so you can just focus on blasting your training sessions and enjoying the results of your efforts in the form of a lean, hard, ripped and muscular physique safe in the knowledge that Sci-MX products will only ever help, never hinder.

Finally, there’s fat.  Both an essential element and pesky nuisance to be rid of, fast.

Every professional athlete or personal trainer knows that controlling fat levels in your body not only makes for a more athletic and attractive physique but also seriously affects performance levels. Now, not everyone trains to build big muscles, but the common goal of anyone training in the gym or for a sport will be to reduce and/or actively manage fat levels.

Fat, of the right sort and in the right amounts, is important and is used by the body to lubricate joints, protect organs and keep hormonal function running smoothly. It’s also used as an energy source by the body. The issue comes when you want to get rid of un-necessary excess fat that is doing nothing for your well being, isn’t being used for energy and which is frustratingly stopping you achieving that ripped, toned physique, killer 6 pack and overall definition of your new, hard-earned muscles.

Shifting it is something that can be very hard to do and you simply cannot get the results you are after fast unless you use the best quality sports supplements available. Sports nutrition science has advanced significantly in the last few years and Sci-MX remains at the very cutting edge of developments in the area of fat burning, thermogenesis and fat metabolism. Sci-MX SHRED-X HARDCORE™ has been developed to be the most powerful fat burner available, actually helping stored body fat to be used as a primary energy source and boosting energy, something many other fat burners don’t do. Sci-MX CLA LEAN 1000™ actively helps reduce fat build-up in core areas such as buttocks in women and love handles in men and helps overall muscle tone.

So if you are looking to achieve the ultimate body results, you won’t be able to get where you want to be without some support. And the best place to get that is from Sci-MX. You simply won’t find any more effective muscle-building and fat management formulations than our comprehensive and research-proven range.
