Phosphatidic Acid is a by-product of lifting heavy weight (mechanical damage). Surrounding your muscle cells is fat called phospholipids; this is known as the lipid-bilayer. When you lift weight, especially >70% 1RM, you disrupt this fat and release it into the cell. Once the fat is in the cell it interacts with an enzyme called phospholipase-D. This interaction causes the fat to be converted to phosphatidic acid. It turns out that phosphatidic acid is actually a stimulus for muscle growth! Therefore, this molecule has been replicated in supplements to promote muscle growth similarly to mechanical damage. Our research showed that 750mg around training increased lean muscle mass over 8 weeks!

To simplify, I was told that it turned on MTor which tells the muscle cells to grow.

I know there are all these new suppliments that are supposed to be the next best thing...............I think i have tried most of them and this stuff is the real deal.

One of my top 3 natural suppliments and dirt cheap when you get it in soy lecithin.
