FLEX COMPLEX
FACT SHEET
FLEX COMPLEX , a colostrum-based athletic formula, containing all 87 natural growth factors (including IGF-1 and GH) is the most powerful lean muscle- building, performance-enhancing, muscle-toning, fat-shrinking, essential vitamin and mineral wellness supplement available
on the market today. These growth factors, from complete colostrum, work together with a scientifically proven complex of natural, anabolic compounds for improved athletic performance without steroids
and without negative side effects!
Flex Complex combines the most powerful natural, anabolic (muscle building) compounds
available which support the processes involved in:
• Building lean muscle
• Improving muscle tone
• Enhancing athletic performance
Athletes Need It
More and more athletes and bodybuilders are turning to Flex Complex as a safe, natural way
to build lean muscle mass, improve strength, and enhance endurance and recovery time. Athletes recognize that having a lean body with minimum body fat is a major factor in maximizing their potential. They place heavy demands on their body through strenuous exercise, which
results in the burning of protein and makes it difficult to build new muscle. Flex Complex can play an impressive role in the building of new muscle. The components in Flex Complex include:
• IGF-1: From complete colostrum. Colostrum’s natural growth factors have been shown to have an effect on every system and cell within the body. It has been shown with world-class athletes to increase endurance, size, strength, and recovery time.
• Methoxyisoavone: For increased protein synthesis and enhanced nitrogen retention.
• 7-ISO: Helps to transport nutrients away from fat and uses them for the building of lean muscle.
• DIM (Diindolylmethane): Which frees testosterone for muscle development.
• Creatine: For increased muscle size with less fatigue.
These compounds, which are more potent than steroids, are the most anabolic available to “naturally” build lean muscle mass, increase endurance and recovery time—without negative side effects!
Non-Athletes Need It Too
According to science writer Janet Ralo in an August 10, l996 report posted on the Science News online website “Slow, inexorable muscle wasting occurs even in healthy individuals who engage in regular aerobic exercise, but it usually goes unnoticed for decades. In fact, the
body hides its loss by subtly padding affected areas with extra fat.”
By comparing people of different ages but similar builds, researchers are now seeking to determine at what age muscle loss begins—the determining factor for pre-mature aging. Essentially, they have found if you’re over thirty you’re losing muscle. This suggests that whether you are twenty, thirty, forty, or older, and want to avoid losing muscle and you want to bulk up and improve your health, Flex Complex makes body building sense.
What makes Flex so powerful?
I G F - 1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1)
IGF-1 rich Colostrum improves athletic performance. First Milking Colostrum contains not only nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals, but also bioactive components such as growth factors and antimicrobial elements. Colostrum is a major source
of IGF-1, which orchestrates the super-family of natural growth proteins and the balance of the 87 different growth factors found in the body that directly influence muscle cell proliferation and youthfulness. IGF-1, along with growth hormone, helps repair our cellular DNA. It also stimulates glucose transport in muscles for a more efficient use of available fuel. Colostrum is a major source of IGF-1. Although normal milk contains only around 10 micrograms per liter, the concentration of Natural IGF-1 in the bovine colostrum used in Flex Complex is approximately 2,000 micrograms per liter.
The Importance of IGF-1
The reason that the super concentrated IGF- 1 colostrum in Flex Complex is important to bodybuilders and athletes is that after around age 19, most men and women and their production of IGF-1 decreases. Yet, IGF-1 is the key signaling hormone that promotes muscle repair and growth and tissue regeneration. IGF-1 is responsible for maintaining an optimal proportion of healthy lean muscle mass to adipose tissue (fat). It aids recovery and improves performance. Finding effective, safe methods of increasing levels of IGF-1 is considered to be critical to athletic performance and building and maintaining a high degree of musculature. This means lowering total overall fat percentages and increasing lean muscle mass. And TWI colostrum seems to be one of the very best methods.
IGF-1 Rich Colostrum METHOXY (Methoxyisoavone)
Methoxyisoavone was originally developed for muscle wasting (catabolic) conditions. It is a non-hormonal way to promote increased muscle growth and strength, while helping to improve endurance, reduce body fat, lower cholesterol and improve the body’s ability to utilize oxygen. Methoxy enhances protein synthesis while promoting nitrogen retention—which is the ideal state for amino acids to help rebuild muscle tissue.
7 - I S O (7-isopropoxyisoavone)
7-Isopropoxyisoavone is an isoflavone with tremendous anabolic activity but without side effects. It increases metabolic efficiency by transporting nutrients away from fat and using them for the building of lean muscle. 7-ISO helps increase enzymatic activity to ensure optimal protein utilization, while increasing lipolytic activity (the body’s use of fat for fuel). It also increases calcium retention while improving calcium
utilization to help maintain bone mass.
DIM (diindolylmethane)
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is essential for bodybuilding. Estrogen dominance is a major problem for men, particularly bodybuilders. Bad estrogen is continually being absorbed from the environment, soaps, detergents and plastic food and water containers. DIM helps improve
the testosterone to estrogen ratio, which frees bound testosterone. This shift in hormones can have a major effect on muscle tissue. DIM protects stressed muscle cells and allows more efficiently repair and growth, resulting in less inflammation, less pain and more rapid muscle development.
CREATINE MONOHYDRATE
Creatine helps prevent the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactic acid. It helps the body saturate muscle tissue with water so it flushes out lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. This enables the muscle tissue to readily absorb amino acids, and speeds up recovery.
There are no known contradictions to using Flex Complex. In addition, the ingredients in the formula are not on the banned drug lists of the International Olympic Committee or any other sports governing bodies.
