Biotropic
This company makes clean, energy sustaining biological edge sports supplements containing apex-class, sports performance ingredients. These allow you to exercise or train at successively higher levels with less effort, delivering superior results in training and competition. Their AFA formulation was developed to oxygenate muscles, boost power, increase muscle growth, and heighten alertness, focus, and aid in recovery. This formulation also contains the highest levels of chlorophyll, delivering a greater amount of oxygen-rich red blood cells to muscles throughout the body, most notably when exercising. The synergy of the ingredients in this supplement are behind its powerful blood oxygenating abilities.
Blue Green AFA (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae)
Blue Green AFA is a type of Blue green algae (BGA). BGA are nutritious products rich in essential amino acids, linolenic acid, fibers, B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, chlorophyll, and other bioactive compounds.1 Studies have shown that BGA have antiviral, antitumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antidiabetic, and antibacterial properties as well as lipid-lowering effects.1 AFA supports blood oxygenation by converting nitrates to nitric oxide causing vasodilation (expansion of blood vessel walls) supporting the deliverance of oxygen rich blood to hard working muscles.
Cordyceps Sinensis
This an annual Ascomycetes fungus closely related to the mushroom. Although not actually a mushroom taxonomically, it has been described as an exotic medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine. Recent literature2 confirms that Cordyceps enhances cellular energy in the highly coveted form of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate), which is essentially charging your “electrical system,” your body’s battery power pack. This boost gives you more energy to train and compete with. Cordyceps is also believed to offer oxygen carrying capabilities offering additional oxygen transport.
Argentinean Grass-fed Liver Anhydrate
This is the third ingredient in this powerful supplement. Liver is super rich in fat-soluble vitamins and minerals and vastly beneficial not only to general health, but athletic performance as well. Your blood stream gets supercharged with the most essential and desired vitamins, especially the oxygen carrying B-matrix, Iron, Copper, Zinc, macro and micro minerals. These components keep your electrolytes in constant balance, resulting in your blood, muscles and entire biological engine becoming charged up optimal training. Experiments conducted by D.B. Ershoff, Ph.D. on laboratory animals. Reportedly, Dr. Ershoff supplemented the diets of the animals with desiccated liver, which increased their endurance by nearly 750%!3
Beetroot
Lastly, we have the potent effects of this incredible root. Beetroot is a very effective tool for increasing the nitric oxide levels in our bodies.4 Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, which means it expands the blood vessels in our bodies. This allows more blood, nutrients and oxygen to get to our hard working muscles. Its nutritional value is also believed to assist in increasing the body’s red blood cell count.
