VPX NO Shotgun V.3 Product Guide
NO-Shotgun is University studied to Increase Total
Muscle DNA by 148.65% and Increase Five Muscle Gene
Activating Proteins up to 515%!
Muscle DNA is important because DNA carries the
genetic information of a cell. DNA encodes the
information for muscle proteins and is able to
self-replicate. Because NO-Shotgun increases muscle DNA
by 148.65%, there's some crazy off-the-chain activity
going on inside the muscle cell. Imagine, you can have a
limited amount of naturally occurring muscle DNA
replication going on with resistance training and get
your usual lackluster results in muscle growth. Or, you
can consume NO-Shotgun and experience the enormous
amount of muscle generated by the mind-blowing 148.65%
increase in self-replicating muscle DNA. Consequently,
if weight training produced a 40% increase in DNA and
this muscle DNA self-replicated at a rate of 10 fold,
you would get a 400% increase in muscle DNA, and over
the period of a year might be lucky to gain 7 pounds of
lean muscle-hypothetically speaking. However, if the
same DNA self-replication rate held true at 10-fold
drinking NO-Shotgun, a 1,486.50% increase in muscle gene
proteins would occur. One can only guess how much growth
is possible at this rate in a year's time?
While some of this is theoretical science, the fact
holds true that muscle gene activating proteins do
increase at a rate of 148.65% with use of one container
of NO-Shotgun over a four-week period when combined with
resistance training. Therefore, drinking NO-Shotgun
prior to training is undoubtedly the most important
tactic you can use to build muscle. And, this is my
theory as to why NO-Shotgun has such a dramatic effect
on increasing muscle gene activating proteins which
you'll read about later in this article. And, further
how and why satellite cells are formed resulting in
hyperplasia - new muscle growth! Hyperplasia is exciting
because it allows you to grow new muscle beyond what
your current genetic limitation. Instead of just making
existing muscle fibers larger, NO-Shotgun allows you to
tap into your muscle DNA and alter muscle genes to form
and build new muscle! And, that's super exciting
bodybuilding news.
DNA is your cell's 'blueprint' for everything that
goes on in your body. Your DNA is housed in the nucleus
of each of your cells, and muscle cells have more than
one nucleus. Think of the nucleus of your cell as the
'brains' behind the cell. It ultimately determines what
your cell makes (i.e. proteins). So an increase in your
muscle's DNA is an indication that the nuclei have a
greater capacity for increasing muscle protein. Also,
with more nuclei (and DNA), your muscle cells have
greater control over what goes on in muscle. For
bodybuilders, that means you become better at attaining
bigger and greater numbers of muscle fibers. And the
proof is in the University Research. Consequently, this
is why NO-Shotgun produces massive gains in strength,
size, and muscle proteins.
- Lean Mass - 181.1% greater gains
- Bench Press Strength - 1108.2% greater
gains
- Leg Press Strength - 53.5% greater gains
- Myofibrillar Protein - 107.2% greater
gains
- Total Muscle DNA - 148.65% greater gains
- Myogenic Regulatory Factors - 515.0%
greater increase (Myo-D)
The chart above shows that drinking a serving of
NO-Shotgun MHF-1 (Myogenic Hyperplasic Factor-1)
pre-workout for one month increases Muscle DNA over
three times more than training alone (with a placebo).
That's huge! And, that translates into huge increases in
lean muscle mass. In fact, as you read the charts
throughout this article you will see that this increase
in new muscle is crisp, sharp water-free lean muscle
mass gains. This is important because other companies
are claiming "water retention" as part of the gains in
lean mass form their product. While it is true that
these are not fat gains, it is highly untrue and
unethical to count a water-retaining-bloat as muscle.
This is why other companies include a significant amount
of carbohydrates in their formulae - A) its cheap and,
B) they deceptively claim that the water-weight gain
from the carbohydrates is lean muscle. Each gram of
carbohydrate makes you hold three grams of water. Drink
their carb-laden product for a month and you'll be
holding more water than a Sperm Whale and, these
unscrupulous companies will tell you that your bloat is
research-proven gains in lean muscle!
What if we told you that taking 21 grams per day of a
pre-workout supplement would not only put on muscle
mass, but do it by elevating the Myogenic Regulatory
Factors or MRFs? What are the MRFs you ask? In the
broadest sense, MRFs are proteins that bind to DNA thus
controlling how genetic information is passed from DNA
to RNA. These MRFs thus control the creation of new
muscle tissue. Now unless you decide to take a molecular
biology class, take our word for it that these MRFs are
highly important for regulating muscle mass. So, let's
get to the meat of the matter. Where's the scientific
university research study? And, what does this mean to
you as far as gaining more lean mass faster and more
efficiently?
So how did the Massive Increases in Muscle Gene
Proteins, Muscle DNA and Myogenic Regulatory Factors
translate into real world bodybuilding results with
NO-Shotgun?
Researchers at a prestigious university performed the
complicated task of unraveling the secrets of
NO-Shotgun. In science lingo, they sought out to
determine the effects of four weeks of heavy resistance
exercise combined with the oral ingestion of NO-Shotgun
supplementation on body composition, muscle strength and
mass, and markers of satellite cell activation. If you
paid attention in biology class, satellite cells are
cells that sit on the periphery of muscle cells. When
you damage or exercise your muscles it activates these
cells, and that my friends is a good thing. Why? Because
satellite cells make existing muscle fibers BIGGER and
in some extreme cases, may even contribute to making new
muscle fibers (i.e. muscle fiber hyperplasia). Imagine
that. Larger muscle fibers as well as the potential to
make mind-blowing gains in muscle fiber number too!
These scientists measured body composition (how much
muscle and fat the subjects had), muscle strength,
muscle mass, myofibrillar protein content and markers of
satellite cell activation [serum IGF-1 (IGF-1),
hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), c-met tyrosine kinase
(c-met)], proliferation (Myo-D, myf-5), and
differentiation (myogenin, MRF-4, total DNA content).
Study volunteers consumed 21 grams/day of placebo
[PL] or 21 grams/day of NO-Shotgun (NO). For both the
NO-Shotgun and placebo the dosage was ingested 30
minutes prior to each exercise session to take advantage
of nutrient timing to maximize the benefits of
NO-Shotgun.
On days where no exercise occurred the full dosage of
each supplement was ingested in the morning upon waking.
Participants lifted weights 4-days per week split into
two upper and two lower body workouts per week for a
total of four weeks. The human test subjects performed a
bi-weekly upper body resistance-training program
consisting of nine exercises including bench press, lat
pull down, shoulder press, seated rows, shoulder shrugs,
chest flies, biceps curl, triceps press down, and
abdominal curls twice per week. Test subjects also
performed a bi-weekly lower-body program consisting of
seven exercises including leg press or squat, back
extension, step ups, leg curls, leg extension, calf
raises, and abdominal crunches. Participants performed 3
sets of 8-10 repetitions with 75%-80% of their 1-RM (rep
max) on each exercise. Rest periods between exercises
and sets lasted no longer than three minutes.
So what were the results of the NO-Shotgun study?
Research scientists found that four weeks of
NO-Shotgun supplementation used in conjunction with
heavy resistance training effectively increases muscle
strength and mass and induces myogenesis by stimulating
increases in markers indicative of satellite cell
activation and proliferation. In English that means that
NO-Shotgun produces more lean muscle mass and it does so
by activating your genetic machinery. And for those of
you worried about 'bloating' from a pre-workout
supplement, NO-Shotgun didn't cause any water retention!
More importantly, gains in lean body mass were dramatic!

|
| Summary: As expected NO-Shotgun puts
on muscle mass! |
|
|
| Summary: The weight gain is NOT
water! So if you follow the data, these guys did
not just get bloated! It was NEW muscle protein
that the trained human test subjects gained! |
|
|
|
|
| Summary: Can you say RADICALLY
STRONGER? |
|
|
| Summary: You get actual increases in
actin and myosin, which are two proteins found
in skeletal muscle that comprise the content of
myofibrillar protein. |
|
|
| Summary: Remember why satellite cells
are so important? Because they repair damaged
muscle, they contribute to increases in muscle
mass, AND they may also promote gains in total
muscle fiber number! |
|
|
| NO-Shotgun combined with heavy resistance
training elevated myogenic regulatory factors [MHFs]
by up to 71.17%. What are MRFs? MRFs are
proteins that bind to DNA thus controlling how
genetic information is passed from DNA to RNA.
These MRFs control the creation of muscle
tissue. |
Summary: NO-Shotgun turns on the MYOGENIC
REGULATORY FACTORS! For you science buffs out there MRFs
are defined by the scientist like this: "A family of
muscle-specific transcription factors which bind to DNA
in control regions and thus, regulate myogenesis. All
members of this family contain a conserved
helix-loop-helix motif which is homologous to the myc
family proteins. These factors are only found in
skeletal muscle. Members include the myoD protein (MYOD
PROTEIN); MYOGENIN; myf-5, and myf-6 (also called MRF4
or herculin)."
The KEY word above is MYOGENESIS, which means
the formation of muscle tissue.
Summary: NO-Shotgun has safety data on 30
clinical markers† showing no side effects in while
producing unprecedented gains in lean muscle mass,
strength, and measures of skeletal muscle anabolism.
This is the epitome of the anabolic drive. With
NO-Shotgun, you'll have the very best tool to help you
achieve the highest level of performance and
bodybuilding goals.
†Note: these clinical markers included all of the
following: triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, GTT,
LDH, uric acid, glucose, BUN, creatinine, BUN/creatinine,
calcium, total protein, total bilirubin, ALP, AST, ALT,
CK, WBC, RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC,
lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils,
basophils).
For even better results combine NO-SyntheSize as your
Post-Workout supplement.
NO Synthesize as the Post-Workout Supplement of
Choice!
- Scientifically formulated
- Advanced Post-Workout Anabolic Cocktail
- University tested
- Has all the Essential Amino Acids for maximal
anabolism
- With PeptoPro, the most advanced casein protein
hydrolysate
- With Beta-Alanine to enhance performance
Let's face it, what you consume BEFORE and AFTER you
train is the most critical issue with supplement use!
That's why VPX's NO-Shotgun and NO-Synthesize form the
dynamic duo of lean mass enhancing supplements. The
beauty of this system, called nutrient timing, is that
NO-Shotgun and Synthesize form the perfect bookends for
delivering the precise ratio of muscle-building
nutrients before and after you train.
What's the strategy for achieving gains in muscle
mass fast and with ease? Nutrient timing is actually
quite simple my friends. In fact, just do this, consume
NO-Shotgun 30 minutes before you workout and
NO-Synthesize immediately after you workout. That
strategy alone will pack on slabs of beef faster than a
anti-myostatin-mutant. This strategy works in men and
women. Research shows that you actually don't need that
many calories. NO-Synthesize is the culmination of
scientific brilliance coupled with real-world results.
NO-Synthesize can be taken any time of day, even before
bed. But it is ideal immediately post-training and/or
during training. Here are just a few revolutionary
anabolic-boosting and cell-swelling ingredients that
you'll find in NO Synthesize: Creatinol-O-Phosphate or
COP has been shown to have cardioprotective effect by an
action on anaerobic glycolysis.1 Creatine
Phosphate Tetrahydrate increases anaerobic working
capacity.2 Also included in the formula is
Beta-Alanine, for improving time to exhaustion,
increasing whole body creatine retention and acting as a
buffer.3 With a star-studded profile of other
cutting-edge ingredients, VPX's NO-Synthesize is perfect
complement to MRF-inducing NO-Shotgun!
