Shred System

MAX'S Shred System is the ideal protein for trainers of all levels who want to build a lean and muscular body. Shred System combines a unique SYSTEM of nutrients to help you to strip off excess fat achieve that lean and chiselled look that everyone will admire! Shred System contains:

MAX'S LEAN PROTEIN BLEND - MAX'S Shred System combines fast and medium acting Whey Proteins with slower acting Caseins to keep you recovering and growing for longer. But there’s another benefit for trainers wanting to get ripped. Casein Proteins form a gel in your stomach during digestion, which is why it is much slower to digest. The benefit to you is - it keeps you feeling fuller for longer, which is ideal when you are watching your calorie intake! You get the benefit of fast, medium and slow absorbing proteins:

• Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) – Fast acting WPI is natures best protein for building lean muscle
• Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) – Medium acting WPC is an excellent muscle builder with many health-promoting benefits
• Calcium Caseinate – Sustained release Calcium Caseinate gels in your stomach during digestion which means it is absorbed slower
• Milk Protein Concentrate - Ultra Slow acting MPC has a high proportion of Micellar Casein, a very slow digesting and absorbing protein to maximise long term gains

MAX'S THERMOGENIC COMPLEX - Thermogenic literally means to “produce heat”. Thermogenic nutrients increase your resting metabolism by increasing fat utilisation to produce heat and increase energy levels. MAX'S Shred System combines powerful Thermogenic compounds for a 24-hour metabolism boost:

• Acetyl L-Carnitine – is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps shuttle free fatty acids from the bloodstream into muscle cell mitochondria for fuel and energy.
• Caffeine Anhydrous enhances energy and promotes metabolism.
• Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – is a unique type of fatty acid that has a strong positive effect on body composition with prolonged use.
• Green Tea Extract – contains Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which has been linked to leaner body composition.
• African Mango Seed Extract - is another plant based nutrient that helps control leptin and adiponectin, two nutrients that help regulate fat usage for fuel.
• Guarana - One of the primary active compounds in guarana, the alkaloid theobromine, helps to upregulate natural thermogenesis. Guarana also contains moderate levels of caffeine that helps support increased thermogenesis and energy levels.

MAX'S CARB CONTROL COMPLEX - To get that lean and shredded, it's not just about fat intake, but also about manipulating dietary carbohydrates. MAX'S Shred System supports a reduced carbohydrate intake nutrition plan, not only because it's naturally low in carbs, but because it also includes powerful nutrients to help reduce the digestion and conversion of carbs to fat:

• Garcinia Cambogia – is a tropical fruit that contains Hydroxy Citric Acid or HCA. It helps to inhibit the enzyme Citrate Lyase which your body uses to process carbohydrates into fat storage.
• Phaseolamin (Kidney Bean Extract) - is an extract of white kidney beans that helps reduce the action of the starch-digesting enzyme Alpha-amylase in your digestive tract - reducing the digestion and absorption of many types of carbohydrates .
• Green Coffee Extract - contains the active ingredient Chlorogenic Acid that helps reduce absorption of sugars and starches in your small intestine.

MAX’S NITROGEN RETENTION COMPLEX - Shred System has added amino acids that help regulate muscle protein synthesis and recovery:

• Branched Chain Amino Acids - (Leucine, Isoleucine and valine) stimulate the mTOR signalling pathway that controls protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.
• L-Glutamine - helps reduce the breakdown of muscle tissue after hard training. The more glutamine you have in your system, the sooner your body can initiate repair and rebuilding of muscle tissue.

MAX’S VITAMIN AND MINERAL COMPLEX - Shred System includes a full complement of vitamins and mineral required to optimise your metabolism.
