Strafe™ is a pretty straightforward product designed to maximize the muscle protein synthesis and Anti-catabolic properties of Leucine metabolism. We follow along the entire pathway, providing substrate for subsequent reactions that end up creating muscle. Strafe™ is designed to take right before bed, with or without the addition of a slow-acting protein like Casein.
It wasn't until the HMB sale patent expired in 2013 that we were able to find material of the same quality without the huge overcharge (a dumb move, IMO). So...here we go:
Leucine, provided in a 2:1:1 BCAA ration
Keto-Isocaproate - the first Leucine metabolite in the ultimate pathway to activate mTOR.
HICA - a further metabolite that is pretty kickass, even on its own (see the MyoSynergy writeup)
Ca-HMB - No, this doesn't feel like Deca but the initial testing of everything combined is yielding some excellent results in the context of the entire formula.
Betaine (Trimethylglycine) - methyl donor and a newish nutrient to generate a huge emount of excitement from a strength, endurance, and hypertrophy perspective. This will require more study support than I am going to post today - gotta wait for the writeup.
