MAXIMIZE YOUR RESULTS

Mass Impact
Multinutrient Amino Acid Supplement
 
KEY BENEFITS:
-Aids in muscle building* 
-Supports muscle performance* 
-Helps increase physical endurance* 
-Informed-Choice Certified 
-Easily usable with other AdvoCare products

IS THIS YOU?
-An athlete looking to improve performance    
-Someone who is aware of the benefits of creatine and wants a product that is safe and banned-substance free.   
-Someone seeking additional muscle mass and definition.   
-Someone concerned with muscle loss that comes with aging.
 
THE ISSUE:
Many athletes are looking to get more out of their work out, taking their bodies to the next level. They are at a plateau in their performance and are looking to gain additional mass and definition but not at the expense of safety. Many people are also looking to slow the muscle breakdown process that comes with aging.
 
THE SOLUTION: Mass Impact
Mass ImpactTM is a sports performance product that supports muscle building for performance athletes as well as those looking to prevent muscle breakdown through three ingredients:
Creatine Creatine is found naturally in the body, with about 95 percent of it found in skeletal muscle. Large amounts of creatine are lost during intense workouts, so in order to build muscle mass, it is important to replace creatine. Since creatine is primarily obtained through meat sources and it's inadvisable to consume large quantities of meat at one time, Mass Impact supplies the creatine you need. *+ Mass ImpactTM helps maintain ATP levels for cellular energy and to preserve muscle glycogen, which promotes muscle mass, volume and strength.*
SustamineTM
This powerful ingredient supports rehydration, energy replenishment and muscle recovery.* Research shows that SustamineTM supplementation results in improved performance and promotes protein synthesis, inhibiting muscle
breakdown and reducing muscle tissue damage.* SustamineTM also improves water and electrolyte absorption.*
