About Biotest Power Drive 231gSupercharge the mind/muscle connection and get more out of your workouts. Biotest product testing indicates that 45 minutes after using Power Drive, as recommended, strength levels can increase by as much as 8-12%. Individual results may vary widely. Up until now, bodybuilding science has spent all of its time trying to conquer the body while ignoring the brain. The trouble is, everything is controlled by the brain, and we're not just talking about memory or creativity or feelings of well being, either. The brain controls how well your muscles work. Ever wonder how some relatively weak-looking guys can rip apart phone books or bend steel rods in half? A lot of it has to do with muscle motor unit recruitment. Muscles are made up of individual motor units and some people are gifted in that they're able to recruit more of these motor units when it comes to performing an act of strength. Power Drive is designed to help you recruit more of these motor units so that you experience an almost immediate gain in strength and endurance. And, over the long run, this enhanced ability to recruit motor units results in bigger muscles. It stands to reason that, under normal circumstances, the average weight trainer doesn't even begin to work a good percentage of his or her muscle fibers. In effect, these fibers "sit by" during an average workout and receive very little direct stimulation. Without stimulation or recruitment, they won't respond by growing! The Power Drive formula is also designed to improve fat mobilization, along with concentration, memory, coordination, and endurance. It may, in some individuals, also increase pain threshold and overall sense of well-being. Lastly, Power Drive may prevent age-related decreases in testosterone levels. As you age, levels of a neurotransmitter called dopamine decrease, and this causes an increase in a hormone called prolactin. Unfortunately, increases in prolactin are accompanied by a decrease in testosterone. Power Drive may elevate dopamine levels, thus preventing the catabolic sequence. Power Drive's Active Ingredients During the early 1980s, MIT scientist Richard Wurtman discovered that tyrosine, when combined with a catalyst, "enhances performance, improves subjective vigor, decreases fatigue, diminishes subjective confusion, and decreases tension and anxiety." Subsequent preliminary studies performed by Dr. Jeffery Stout of the University of Nebraska found that tyrosine, when administered about an hour before working out, increased peak torque by 283% (during a set of 15 bench presses). In short, the evidence is strong that supplemental tyrosine can improve performance as well as increase energy levels, along with a host of other subjective feelings of mental ability and well-being. Phosphatidylcholine: It's been shown to increase levels of another vital neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine. This potent neurotransmitter has been implicated in controlling motor unit recruitment, reflex and reaction times, as well as memory. DMAE: This is a well-known among life-extensionists as a "nootropic," or mind-enhancing chemical. Chemically, it works much the same as phosphatidylcholine by helping increase levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Ginkgo Biloba: This age-old herb is currently enjoying a streak of good public relations around the world. Life-extensionists and businessman enjoy the increased memory and focus supplied by the herb, and it seems to do this by increasing blood flow to the brain. Power Drive has incorporated Ginkgo Biloba in its formula for exactly that same reason; to increase blood flow to the brain, which helps ensure that the other ingredients in the formula can act optimally.
