Velositol® is a patented complex of two forms of Chromium and Amylopectin designed to increase muscle protein synthesis – a key factor in promoting muscle health. By promoting a normal insulin response, Velositol enhances the uptake of amino acids, the key building blocks of proteins, into muscle cells.
Supported by 2 clinical studies, Velositol helps to improve muscle strength, power, and endurance better than protein alone. Protein’s perfect partner, Velositol helps you get the most out of your protein intake and can be formulated as a standalone product or incorporated into protein products in applications including tablets, capsules, powders, beverages, and bars.
Muscle protein synthesis is the key to maintaining and promoting muscle function and performance. The formation of muscle protein relies on many factors, including the availability of amino acids – the building blocks of protein.
By enhancing the action of insulin to help with amino acid uptake and supporting key cellular events, Velositol® works to promote muscle protein synthesis. When paired with protein, Velositol begins to work on day one, and when combined with exercise, helps to support the growth of muscle, helping maintain and even grow your muscles for better strength, power, and endurance.
