Unleash Your Alpha: The Science Behind P6


Getting older doesn’t mean you have to lose your edge! P6 Alpha and P6 Alpha Advanced are the latest innovations in the Cellucor family. P6 Alpha and P6 Alpha Advanced supports healthy testosterone levels, muscular strength, cellular metabolism, and vitality.  Formulated for healthy adult men to stay on top of their games.

Muscle plays an important role in our lives, from tasks of daily living to our performance in the gym. Unfortunately, as we age our muscle mass decreases while our fat mass tends to increase. The aging process is associated with a decrease in muscle strength after 30.[1] After the age of 30, muscle mass decreases on average by 3-8% per decade.[2] Adding to this, aging is associated with a decrease in nitric oxide production, decreased ATP (the energy currency of cells) production by as much as 8% per decade, and a decrease of about 0.4-1.2% in testosterone levels after age 30. [3,4,5,6,7]

When all these factors add up it can feel like it's more difficult to perform at your best. We formulated P6 Alpha and P6 Alpha Advanced with key patented and clinically studied ingredients in mind to address these factors:

NO3-Tâ„¢ Citrulline Nitrate Benefits

NO3-T™ Citrulline Nitrate is a patented blend of two performance ingredients, the amino acid citrulline and the compound nitrate. Citrulline consumption supports increased plasma levels of arginine and nitric oxide. Nitrates get metabolized by the body into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide supports healthy blood flow through its action as a vasodilator (vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels). 

What is TESTFACTORâ„¢?

P6 Alpha and P6 Alpha Advanced are the only test boosters to feature TESTFACTORâ„¢. TESTFACTORâ„¢ is a patented blend of two plant-based ingredients native to Southern Asia. When combined with an efficacious diet and training program, TESTFACTORâ„¢ has shown beneficial effects on strength, muscular endurance, and weight management. [8,9]

 

elevATP® Benefits

elevATP® is a patented blend of ancient peat and apple extract. A chemical analysis of elevATP® found it to contain 66 chemical elements. This includes minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc. As well as bioactive compounds like chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, and quercetin. A pilot study on acute elevATP® supplementation showed it could increase blood levels of ATP by 64% within 120 minutes of ingesting it.[10]

In two different clinical studies on resistance trained men, supplementation of elevATP® combined with a periodized program was associated with improved strength, power, and muscle size. [11,12]

 

What is SenActiv®?

SenActiv® is a patented blend of two plants native to Asia (Panax notoginseng and Rosa roxburghii). An advanced extraction technology is used to process SenActiv® for a high purity product. One of the compounds that SenActiv® selects for is the ginsenoside Rg1, which is one of the main bioactive compounds found in Panax notoginseng.

Research on Rg1 supplementation in humans has shown it to have beneficial effects on cycling time to exhaustion during high intensity exercise.[13] And Rg1 supplementation has shown an ability to rejuvenate healthy muscle cells.[14] Animal studies on Rg1 supplementation have shown it to have beneficial effects on strengthening the antioxidant defense system in response to intense exercise. [15,16]

More pumps, more strength, more power, more performance. These scientifically studied ingredients were specifically chosen based on how they deliver results. Choose which P6 will help you unlock your Alpha.
