Blackstone Labs SST-1 Kit

Develops and creates new muscle cells

Real IGF-1 and its precursor

Enhances lean muscle

Real, pure IGF-1. With the successful extraction of insulin-like growth factor type 1 from whey protein, SST-1: IGF is a revolutionary discovery for all athletes. Blackstone Labs used a molecular biological technique to extract 175 ug/100g, which is a substantial amount of IGF-1. Blackstone Labs has found a way to make this revolutionary compound affordable with the development of efficient extraction methods from whey peptides for the production of IGF-1.

The most important factor to consider is IGF-1's ability to achieve hyperplasia. When you use performance enhancing ingredients, they will help the body through hypertrophy, which means you are increasing the size of the existing muscle cells. On the other hand, IGF-1 will cause hyperplasia, which means you are actually increasing the number of cells in the muscle tissue. These new cells can be utilized through further training to make bigger muscles. In essence, you will have the ability to achieve more muscle density and size at the genetic level by using IGF-1. Blackstone Labs takes a great invention (IGF-1 peptide derived from whey) and makes it a superior product (SST-1: IGF). Our proprietary in-house Liposomal Delivery (LD) system is an applied coating which allows IGF-1 to readily dissolve in liquids and ensures the IGF-1 will bypass digestion; will be transported through the bowel wall; will circulate throughout the body; will reach the organs and cells; and remain bioavailable at the cellular level. Liposomal Delivery makes IGF-1 up to 1,500 % more bioavailable. Without Liposomal Delivery, IGF-1 loses most of its effectiveness. The Liposomal Delivery difference means that products from Blackstone Labs do what they say.

Mucuna Pruriens Extract (seed) (Yielding 500mg L-Dopa per serving) (540mg) SST-1: GH is based primarily upon the active ingredient L-DOPA (also called Levodopa or L-DOPA) (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine). L-DOPA is extracted from mucuna pruriens or velvet bean seeds. It is the precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine which itself is the precursor of neurotransmitters nor-epinephrine and epinephrine. DOPA is consumed to generate dopamine; supporting healthy mood and mental alertness. It has been known for over 40 years that L-DOPA is an effective stimulant of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) which has many benefits including improved sense of well being, increased muscle mass and protein synthesis, increased lean muscle, higher energy levels, increased endurance, increased flexibility, increased libido (sexual performance) and improved immune function. However, the challenges such as poor blood brain barrier penetration always caused the ingredient to only be marginally effective.

L-DOPA is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid, synthesized from L-tyrosine, and found in some foods and herbs. L-DOPA containing Mucuna pruriens cam also elevate human growth hormone as results of several studies. In one study it was confirmed to increase growth hormone release 60–110 min following a single oral dose of 500 mg of L-DOPA also confirmed that L-DOPA therapy, appears to elevate plasma growth hormone. Growth hormone (GH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland regulated by two hypothalamic peptides: GH-releasing hormone (GHRH), which stimulates GH synthesis and secretion, and somatostatin, which inhibits GH release without affecting GH synthesis. The major influence of GH is its anabolic effect on bodily tissues, including growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As a result, GH plays an important role helping the body to adapt to heavy physical stress (eg, resistance training). The main physiologic functions of GH include increased protein synthesis, increased lipolysis, increased collagen synthesis, increased cartilage growth, decreased glycogen synthesis and glucose utilization, and enhanced immune cell function. However, levodopa cannot be administered alone, since it has multiple side effects and doesn't readily cross the blood brain barrier. Blackstone testers have all raved about the benefits they have gotten when taking SST-1: GH, which shows Blackstone has solved the age old question about how to make this powerful compound more effective.

Anterior Pituitary Peptides (450mg) The second powerful compound in SST-1: GH is anterior pituitary peptides. The pituitary gland is about the size of a bean, and it hangs by a stalk from the hypothalamus. Even though the gland is tiny, its power should not be underestimated. In fact, this gland is sometimes referred to as the 'master gland' because hormones from this gland affect your body's metabolism, growth and development, and libido. Growth hormone is a hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that promotes growth. It does this in a number of ways, including stimulating cells to grow and divide, increasing bone and muscle growth, and increasing protein synthesis. The anterior pituitary has been shown to contain a wide variety of bioactive peptides. Anterior pituitary peptides contain GH-secreting peptides that trigger growth hormone release in the body. However, similar to L-Dopa anterior pituitary peptides have low oral bioavailability. However, when manufactured into a liposomal form Anterior pituitary peptides promote natural production and release of HGH. Blackstone has developed the perfect one-two punch with respect to GH by using anterior pituitary peptides and Mucuna pruriens containing L-Dopa utilizing its proprietary liposomal technology.
