Hearing about the electrolyte label reminded me of the Olympus Lifestyle rebrand for a minute … lol - We would happily support your graphic design endeavors. You’ve never been one to offer great products and then water them down later.
What’s the benefits of solo Senactiv? I always feel with that and astragin it’s a better deal to just find a good EAA product with those already included. Is senactiv substantially different than Astragin or is it just semantics?
The idea I had for the electrolyte product isn't anything like they were doing with OL. My idea originated from a particular sport that a friend of mines kids are very active in and we were discussing it a couple years back and their youngest daughter was probably 10 or 11 at the time and me and her were joking and throwing around some funny ideas and the idea for the label was born. I had tried a couple of different graphic artists that are good, but being a good graphic artist and being good at image creation like that are two different worlds.
If anyone reading happens to be good at stuff like that, feel free to contact me. I would still love to go with that type label idea bc it would be a lot of fun.
Senactiv is completely different than AstraGin. They accidentally confused a lot of people in the beginning by naming it ActiGin which lead people to believing it was more similar to AstraGin than it is. That's why they changed it to Senactiv.
AstraGin is for absorption enhancement.
Here is an excerpt that I wrote on Senactiv (ActiGin) awhile ago and there's been more research on it since then:
ActiGin® (also known as Senactiv®) is a natural patented proprietary sports nutraceutical complex comprised of highly fractionated Panax notoginseng and Rosa roxburghii and created using pharmaceutical grade extraction and processing technology and designed to be a 3 in 1 performance aid focusing on – Energy, Endurance, & Recovery.
ActiGin® is the result of more than 10 years of research. At the time of this writing, ActiGin® is backed by one in-vivo and five human clinical trials and the number of studies on this awesome ingredient continues to increase. ActiGin® has been clinically shown to increase endurance, VO2 Max, muscular energy (ATP production), and reduce inflammation in muscles.
Studies indicate that ActiGin’s effects on improving endurance/stamina, energy, and recovery time in high intensity exercises may be due to its ability to preserve insulin receptors and glucose transporters on muscle membranes during intensive exercises to ensure a continuous supply of blood glucose into the muscle. Glucose is the fuel for muscle during intense exercise. Depletion of glucose had detrimental effects on the muscles ability to contract and work properly. There are senescent (deteriorating) cells in all human tissues including short lived endothelial cells (lifespan < 2 weeks) in blood vessels and tissues. ActiGin® substantially reduced senescent cell population (mostly endothelial progenitor cells) of exercising skeletal muscle. Also, high intensity exercise acutely decreases satellite cell numbers due to increased demand on the nucleus for muscle regeneration and ActiGin® completely attenuated acute satellite cell depletion. These findings suggest that ActiGin® effectively facilitates senescent cell clearance in contracting muscles and helps maintain muscle stem cell numbers during exercise to enhance high-intensity endurance performance.
Study Highlights include:
- Increased endurance time (time to exhaustion) by 20% (improve VO2 Max).
- Increase energy (ATP production) but raising the pace-making Citrate synthase enzyme in the first step of the citric acid cycle by 42%.
- Speed recovery by reducing inflammation in muscles as evidenced by the reduction of inflammatory biomarkers (TBARS (24%), MDA (44%), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) (35%), and Creatine kinase (CK) (69%)).
- Eliminate senescent (deteriorating) muscle cells through macrophage phagocytosis (macrophage phagocytosis involves cells that protect the body by ingesting harmful particles and dead or dying cells). Specifically decreasing SA-B-gal and collagenase, reverse apoptotic DNA fragmentation and leukocyte infiltration, and increase iNOS and IL-6 mRNA expression in the quadriceps after 60 minutes of cycling at 70% VO2 max.
- Effectively facilitating senescent (deteriorating) cell clearance in contracting muscles and helping maintain muscle stem cell numbers during exercise to enhance high-intensity endurance performance.
In short, ActiGin® is designed to help you train harder, longer, and recover more effectively.
