Excellent for a cutting stack and great for those Holiday food indulgences!

Recomposition Ammunition For A Leaner Physique!

DCP is an effective combination of TetradecylThioacetic Acid (250mg), Salvia Miltiorrhiza Extract (standardized for 40% Mixed Tanshinones) (250mg), Propionyl-L-Carnitine (300mg), Potassium Pyruvate (300mg), and Raspberry Ketones (100mg). You may have seen some of these ingredients in other products, but lets look at why we chose them specifically to work in concert to help you become the lean, mean, muscle building machine you want to be.

The center ingredient in which our product is based off of is of TetradecylThioacetic Acid (TTA). TTA is a 3-thia fatty acid which increases mitochondrial activity, which in itself provides numerous benefits. Insulin resistance is strongly linked to the reduction of glucose oxidation in mitochondria and a subsequent build up of glycolysis byproducts. Adipocytes also contribute hormones when fat is stored in them, so, the more fat you are carrying, the more inhibition of mitochondrial function you have (1). Mitochondria proteins function mainly to produce ATP, enhancing their function will, in short, burn more fuel. TTA enhances mitochondrial oxidative capacity and reduces free fatty acid and triglyceride levels as described below.

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors regulated by fatty acid derivatives, among others. These receptors are intimately involved in glucose regulation, cellular proliferation and differentiation, and most important to us, fat metabolism. There are at present three types of PPARs: alpha, gamma, and delta. The liver is the main site where fatty acids are stored or burned for energy, depending on calorie intake.

When fasting, fuel sources switch from carbohydrates and fats to mainly fats, and fatty acids are released from adipocytes. In the liver, they are either reesterified to triglycerides and form very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), which then go on to restore in adipocytes or go to cardiac and skeletal muscle for energy. They can also be broken down through beta-oxidation to form ketones. PPAR-alpha mediates the genes controlling fatty acid uptake, beta-oxidation, and gamma-oxidation, which are upregulated when in a fasted state. TTA is a PPARalpha agonist, meaning it activates these receptors. Thus, you experience the same benefits even if you are in a fed state (9,15-18). PPAR-alpha also down-regulates apolipoprotein C-III which inhibits triglyceride hydrolysis, further enhancing lipid oxidation (2).

TTA also increases the activity of enzymes of the carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) sytem (9), which shuttles the newly freed up fatty acids into mitochondria to be burned for fuel (10). This system is highly underestimated in a fat loss quest, and it's activity is depressed with increased fat. Propionyl-LCarnitine (PLCAR) was added to further stimulate the CPT system (11), and is converted into propionylcoenzyme A and free carnitine (12). PLCAR has also been suspected to scavenge free radicals, as well as protect DNA from UV damage (12).

Pyruvate is involved in another complex system called the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex (PDC), which interacts with the CPT system (13). Pyruvate is a Krebs Cycle intermediate, which is rate controlled by the amount of acetyl-CoA that enters the cycle, one of the conversions from pyruvate (13). For simplicity's sake, the result is an ATP/energy enhancement from the mitochondria and an increase in fuel consumption. The electrolyte potassium form was added to attenuate cramping issues observed from previous TTA products.

Raspberry Ketones (RK) add the finishing touch to DCP. RK is similar in structure to capsaicin and synephrine, and also has been shown to modulate fat metabolism. RK stimulates the release of norepinephrine (NE), a catecholamine with many functions. Most importantly to us is its role in the sympathetic nervous system. NE, having a great affinity on beta and alpha-1 adrenoreceptors in the body, activates lipolysis that normally only occurs during exercise or other intensive activity. This results in an increase of free fatty acids which will be burned via methods described above (14).

As you can see, DCP attacks fat from many angles. It can be especially effective when bulking to prevent fat storage and also has appetite suppressive properties in some users, or used in a cut to potentiate the body's fasting enzymatic response.

Hey so did I hear correctly that you guys are going to be reformulating DCP? If so, I would def like to try it out with some forslean. I think a forslean reformulation would be a pretty hot seller.... atleast I would try it out.

We are not reformulating DCP, rather we are formulating a mild stim based fat burner to stack with DCP.

[haroldjg]

mmmmm.... yah, I dont know where I got that from. It was prolly from the mild stim thing. ohhh well, you guys will do good anyway!

We live DCP so much we aren't changing it anytime soon. Still doing some more research and testing of the new stim. We have a number of ingredients to play with already, but do let us know what you would like to see in it, we'd appreciate that

Whats the shelf life of this stuff...I have a bottle and a half from the original launch...also, how are ppl taking it these days?

I believe the shelf life is roughly 2 years, but don't quote me on that. As far as dosing goes take 2 capsules 3x/day before meals. It can be increased to 3 capsules 3x/day before meals if so desired especially to front load for a week or so.

Shelf life is 3 years from the date of production.

My wife refuses to use anything except for the small capsules from the first run. We are down to our last 2 bottles, though, so she might be forced to use the new stuff soon. MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

They didn't seem that small...weren't they like 000 size, or are you talking betas?

My originals are 00. I do believe I will give it up then

Should my belly be empty for DCP?
Or can I take it with food/something like Swell?

I think DCP works better taken 30 minutes before food as opposed to with food.

[ozarkaBRAND]

I thought so..

what if it's taken (without food) with something like Swell by Nimbus?

[macedaddy]

i'm thinking of increasing my daily dose from 6 to 8-12.

any good feedback that high or a waste?
