Lean Dreams™ 60 capsWhy Venom Lean Dreams™?
Come on now, anyone who has
experienced the fat loss and appetite modulating results from the new
over-the-top energy phenomenon Hyperdrive
3.0™ knows the need for a Night-Time Formula that
will continue to modulate fat oxidation, yet support relaxation. You simply
cannot stay wired 24/7.
Sleep
and Natural GH Production!
Sleep is possibly one of the
best natural tools for recovery we can maximize due to a very healthy increase
in GH release, IGF-1 conversion and a period where glycogen stores can be
replenished to a point of fueling tissue regeneration. Over half of our natural
daily GH secretion occurs while we sleep….and we can produce more. In
short, we heal the damage we did during the day best while we sleep and burn fat
for fuel (cool deal, huh?), if we can create the right environment.
There are a few problems, of course, that commonly
hinder real progress in optimal fat loss and lean tissue retention during sleep:
1)
If we sleep too little, recovery sucks, GH
release is blunted and fat accumulates.
2)
If we eat enough food to support full
recovery, we hinder GH release and increase Insulin release…which means more fat
storage while we sleep.
3)
If we eat too little we enter a catabolic
state that does result in greater fat loss…but also results in hard earned lean
muscle loss too.
Why Is Healthy GH Modulation
Paramount?
1)
GH is anti-catabolic meaning it protects
against lean mass loss.
2)
GH facilitates recovery for hard working
muscles, bones and connective tissue.
3) GH increases fat oxidation and utilization as energy
or for heat production.
For many years hard-core
athletes have used prescription drugs like Clonidine to increase nocturnal
growth hormone release 200% and more. Though Clonidine is prescribed to treat
high blood pressure (hypertension), misuse for GH stimulation and induced
relaxation/sleep has been well noted. Though this has been reported as
effective, it is dangerous as well. The use of anti-hypertension drugs when one
has normal blood pressure can be disastrous.
The key to this GH
releasing/relaxation action is triggering thecentral cholinergic system, mainly
through the presynaptic mechanisms.
Cortisol Eats Lean
Tissue…and Promotes Fat Storage
Several hormones and hormone-like-substances trigger
catabolism or muscle wasting. Glucagon does so by setting into motion a series
of metabolic events that result in the release of fatty acids, amino acids, and
glucose/glycogen from body tissues to restore blood circulatory glucose and
energy substrate levels. However, the group we are most concerned with are
called corticosteroids or glucocorticoids.
This is a group of steroids that originate at the
adrenal cortex of the adrenal glands (above your kidneys). The most commonly
discussed hormone of this group is cortisol. When a cortisol molecule merges
with a muscle cell cortisol receptor-site, it triggers the release of amino
acids from the cell. That probably does not sound like a big deal until you
realize that these amino acids come from the breaking down of the muscle cell
proteins. This of course means all of that hard earned lean mass tissue begins
to waste away and become energy, heat or toilet trash.
Cortisol levels are elevated as a result of stress.
Unfortunately, the body views stress stimuli, such as increases in muscle tissue
mass, training, sickness, dieting and the spouse or semi-spouse in a bad mood,
as reason to increase circulatory cortisol levels. Cortisol production can also
inhibit endogenous GH and testosterone production while fueling pathways that
allow fat accumulation.
Several studies have now
validated that a main factor in fat storage (mostly around the waist and upper
thighs) is increased cortisol production. As a result, the amount of fat we add
to our waist daily can be favorably altered with a little control. Naturally,
relaxation and sleep are paramount, but decreasing total cortisol production
alone has a profound affect upon body composition.
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Uncoupler
Normally, the mitochondria in our cells process do a
process that converts ADP (adenosine diphosphate) into ATP (adenosine
Triphosphate). As a rule the process is about 60% efficient, which means there
is about 40% of the energy wasted. Now keep in mind that this “energy” is made
food stores like fats, amino acids and glucose. When we exercise, this process
accelerates and raises our metabolic rate. (More calories are burned as a
result) The process is called oxidative phosphorylation.
Since ATP is the high-energy chemical our bodies utilize
for intense training, recovery and heat production, anything that compromises
this process will make cellular mitochondria work harder and expend more energy
as heat. (Body temperature rises)
Some herbal extracts act as oxidative phosphorylation
uncouplers. In doing so they make the process only about 40% efficient by
uncoupling a high energy phosphate molecule from ATP and therefore turning ATP
into ADP. To maintain an adequate supply of ATP, the body must step-up
production.
As
a result resting metabolic rate is significantly increased and an incredible
amount of calories are burned. During this accelerated metabolic state, and due
to the need for ATP production, most of the calories come from fatty acids
(adipose/fat tissue). So little or no muscle is lost…with adequate protein
intake and proper GH modulation).
Putting
It All Together
Venom Lean
Dreams™ is uniquely designed to help us
relax and sleep better while fueling the pathways that result in prioritized fat
burning and lean tissue sparing recovery. Our goal is provide optimized results
through optimized support and modulation of GH, Cortisol, Uncoupling of
Oxidative Phosphorylation, rest and sleep.
