    ACole9's Journey to a Better Body (AKA Purple WrAAth Purple Lemonade Log)




    PurplEWrAAthLemonade

    Enhance Recovery And Increase Strength, Endurance, And Energy!


    Discover the "Holy Grail" of bodybuilding and athletic performance enhancement: maximizing lean gains and fat loss while enhancing recovery and increasing strength, endurance, and energy. Purple Wraath was created to be the most complete EAA/BCAA product on the market; keeping your body in a constant anabolic state and keeping you training hard with its added super endurance complex.


    Key Attributes:

    * Fast absorption/fast acting
    * EAA & BCAA
    * Caffeine-free ergogenic formula
    * Delicious tangy grape flavor
    * Natural anabolic environment
    * Increase athletic performance, endurance, focus, stamina, and muscle recovery
    * Legal, safe, and effective for both men and women
    * Stimulate metabolism to reduce body fat
    * Explosive strength, power, and energy
    * Increase or maintain muscle mass whether cutting or bulking
    * Dextrose/maltodextrin free



    PurplEAA Complex:


    The Purple Wraath PurplEAA Complex is a very efficient formula based on the science of actual homo sapiens muscle protein and clinical studies on human amino acid assimilation. Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) are the "building blocks" of lean muscle mass, but the EAA's from whey protein can take hours to enter circulation. The solution is the Purple Wraath fast-acting, free-form PurplEAA Complex: While essential amino acids function cohesively as a group to aid in your training, additionally they each produce a significant benefit when it comes to training:

    Leucine:
    - Primary anabolic trigger
    - Enhance recovery
    - Optimize hormone levels

    Valine:
    - Energy
    - Recovery
    - Glucose production
    - Nitrogen balance
    - Anti-inflammatory
    - Analgesic

    Isoleucine:
    - Energy
    - Recovery
    - Glucose production
    - Hormones

    Lysine:
    - Beta-oxidation
    - Nitrogen balance
    - Calcium absorption
    - Energy

    Arginine:
    - Vasodilator
    - Nutrient delivery
    - Anti-Catabolic

    Histidine:
    - Vasodilator
    - Sexual function

    Threonine:
    - Nutrient uptake
    - Immune system

    Methionine:
    - Enhance metabolism
    - Energy
    - Mood
    - Antioxidant

    Phenylalanine:
    - Energy
    - Hormones
    - Mood

    It's important to understand that our EAA Complex includes all of the BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) that you have used in the past, including a precise ratio of leucine. Research shows that blood levels of these KEY amino
    acids are directly related to muscle protein synthesis, so we formulated a comprehensive and efficient matrix to enhance lean mass directly and indirectly, and under various conditions. Now, that ratio is important, but there are some other very exciting points about this formula. Unlike some of the amino acid supplements on the market, you aren't paying for cheap "filler" ingredients such as dextrose or maltodextrin when you purchase Purple Wraath. Also, we chose not to include the amino acid glutamine since it is not an essential amino acid, and our bodies can synthesize it on its own in sufficient quantities. Because the studies that we based this formula off of do not use tryptophan and since it has the potential for "sedative" like side affects, we designed Purple Wraath to be completely tryptophan-free.
    By combining intense exercise or weightlifting with the fast absorbing PurplEAA Complex you can rush nutrients into the active cells of your working muscles, creating an anabolic environment optimal for recovery and lean mass.

    What would an EAA product be without some amazing support ingredients? Good, but not great. To make this formula great we added the PurplEndurance Complex.


    PurplEndurance Complex:

    You can't create an optimal anabolic environment without intensity so Controlled Labs decided to take things to the extreme with Purple Wraath by including the ultimate caffeine-free Ergogenic Complex:

    So what does each of the ingredients in the PurplEndurance Complex do?

    Beta-Alanine:
    - Helps increase aerobic efficiency
    - Helps enhance oxygen transport
    - Helps to reduce lactic acid accumulation

    Citrulline Malate:
    - Reduces Lactic Acid and Ammonia
    - Boosts energy production
    - Has an oxygen sparing effect
    - Boosts mitochondrial function

    Betaine Anhydrous:
    - Is a key osmotic/cellular hydration ingredient
    - Enhances muscle fullness
    - Acts as an energy enzyme protector
    - Induces the conversion of homocysteine to methionine
    - Elevates glutathione levels
    - Promotes liver health
    - Helps you maintain intracellular electrolytes
    - Enhances metabolism

    Ginger:
    - Aids in nutrient absorption
    - Enhances digestion/stomach function
    - Produces a nootropic effect

    Norvaline:
    - Helps elevate naturally occurring eNOS

                    It won me over..but there's more to the story...

                    I made my PW Lemonade and drank about half of it..then felt a little Mad Scientisty and mixed it with my Vassive-CE (for creatine AND aminos/beta alanine)....I am now drinking a bottle of heaven and will be floating around until my workout this evening


                    Seriously though, this is the best tasting lemonade drink ever... & I don't even like lemonade, but this stuff tastes great

                      Today was more of an off day due to family circumstances, but here's what I did after 20 minutes of 1 scoop PW Lemonade:

                      Bench Press 2 x 10 (105lbs)
                      Deadlifts 2 x 10 (105lbs)
                      Shrugs 2 x 10 (50lb dumbbells)
                      Clean and Jerks 2 x 10 (85lbs)
                      Squats 2 x 10 (85lbs)
                      Chin Ups 2 x 10


                      Lighter weight because I didn't have a spotter, but I got a better burn from the workout today which was awesome

                        Day 3

                        Did an hour of Kenpo followed by my 12 minute Ab routine and I feel great; I was energized throughout Kenpo and when I got to Abs I was able to push into harder reps. I was so energized afterward that I pumped out 20 reps of 105, which is probably chump change to some, but that's what I usually warm up with x 10 reps and I'm burned out.

                        All in all, great exercise day, tomorrow is off, but I'm taking PW in the morning because I have to get up early (and I need teh Aminoz).

                          And Day 4 (yesterday) was a relaxation day with the family, but I took some in the morning for Aminoez and Beta Alanninez and it felt great, as usual!

                            unfortunately, I noticed with my pwo drink that I have about a serving and a half left of my Vassive-CE (creatine)...so I'm gonna have to use my primaforce bulk CEE powder (2g before, 2 g after)..shouldn't alter anything...just won't be such a heavenly taste :'(

                              This workout was awesome, I did it last week without PW and today I noticed a huge difference..I can barely type and it's still like 30 minutes after...arms pumped..able to push out more reps

                              Purple Wraath rocks. I think I found a new lover
