The Science Behind of ALPHARIP:

Ursolic Acid PhytoFUSE^TM: A pentacyclic triterpenoid that contributes to the waxy coats on apples, other fruits, and many herbs. It has been subject to a substantial amount of clinical research which has consistently shown extremely potent, multifaceted effects. However, while it has been used in the supplement industry since nearly the beginning of time, it has also consistently failed to impress.

Why is this the case you ask?

Its major limitation is its chemical structure which is extremely hydrophobic and highly lipophilic leading to very low permeability. This results in poor absorption, rapid elimination, and hence low bioavailability after administration. Through tireless research and development and a recent breakthrough in bioavailability enhancement technology capabilities, we were able to create a substantially enhanced form known as Ursolic acid phytosome using the PhytoFUSE^TM  enhancement platform to allow exponentially greater oral bioavailability.

In fact, a relatively inferior phospholipid complex with Ursolic acid has been found to enhance plasma bioavailability 8.49x, as well as enhance the elimination half-life by 12x. Through literal fusion of a phospholipid to the parent compound to create a ‘phytosome’ we are able to radically improve on these numbers and unleash truly mind blowing oral bioavailability enhancement to allow ursolic acid to no longer disappoint like it has in every other product on the market and really unleash its true power.

Ursolic acid has been subject to substantial research and has been shown to possess a wide array of multifaceted effects in the body, many of which are very relevant to building muscle and enhancing fat loss.

10+ Benefits of Ursolic Acid Supplementation:

• Muscle Hypertrophy: Ursolic acid has shown the potential to promote muscle growth and increase muscle fiber size, leading to enhanced muscle hypertrophy.
• Body Fat Reduction: Ursolic acid may aid in reducing body fat by increasing fat metabolism, energy expenditure, and inhibiting the development of new fat cells.
• Muscle Recomposition: Ursolic acid's ability to promote muscle growth while simultaneously reducing body fat makes it appealing for individuals seeking to improve their body composition.
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Ursolic acid exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation and potentially alleviate symptoms associated with certain inflammatory conditions.
• Antioxidant Activity: Ursolic acid acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress and reducing the risk of cellular damage caused by free radicals.
• Anti-Cancer Potential: Some studies have suggested that ursolic acid may possess anti-cancer properties by inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.
• Bone Health: Ursolic acid has been shown to enhance bone mineral density and improve bone health, which may be beneficial for individuals at risk of osteoporosis or age-related bone loss.
• Metabolic Health: Ursolic acid may contribute to improved metabolic health by regulating blood glucose levels, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and reducing the risk of metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
• Neuroprotective Effects: Research has indicated that ursolic acid may have neuroprotective properties, potentially protecting against neurodegenerative diseases and promoting brain health.
• Cardiovascular Health: Ursolic acid has been associated with various cardiovascular benefits, including reducing cholesterol levels, improving lipid profiles, and protecting against heart disease.

Advanced Science (The HOW?)

Muscle Hypertrophy:

Ursolic acid has been studied for its ability to promote muscle hypertrophy. It has been found to enhance skeletal muscle growth by increasing the size and number of muscle fibers. Ursolic acid activates certain signaling pathways involved in muscle protein synthesis, such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, which plays a key role in regulating muscle growth. Additionally, it increases the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a hormone that promotes muscle growth.

Body Fat Reduction:

Ursolic acid has been investigated for its potential effects on body fat reduction and weight management. It appears to have a multifaceted approach to combating obesity and reducing body fat. Studies in mice have shown that ursolic acid can enhance the metabolism of fat, increase energy expenditure, and inhibit the development of new fat cells (adipogenesis). It may also help regulate blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity, which can contribute to weight management and fat loss.

Muscle Recomposition:

Muscle recomposition refers to the process of simultaneously gaining muscle mass while losing body fat. Ursolic acid has been suggested as a potential agent for promoting muscle recomposition due to its ability to enhance muscle growth and reduce body fat. By increasing muscle protein synthesis and promoting fat metabolism, ursolic acid may help individuals achieve a leaner body composition with increased muscle mass and decreased body fat.^{[1][2][3][4][5] [6][7] [8][9]} It has also been shown countless other benefits as well including the anti-aging effects on muscle ^[10]in addition to metabolic health and mitochondrial biogenesis benefits.^[11][12]

RipFACTOR^®: A novel botanical extract composed of Sphaeranthus indicus (S. indicus) and Mangifera indica (M. indica), which has been comprehensively studied and shown to be incredibly effective in increasing muscle mass and exercise performance in healthy human populations.

1. indicus has a long history of usage in Indian traditional medicine, Ayurveda. Its reported effects include immune modulation, hepato-protection, analgesic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, and antihyperlipidemic activities
2. indica is native to India but is cultivated worldwide in tropical climates. The glucosyl xanthone, mangiferin, is found in the bark and leaves of M. indica. Mangiferin from mango tree bark has been reported to possess antioxidant, antidiabetic, immunomodulatory, anti-genotoxic, and anti-inflammatory properties.

RipFactor isn’t just your typical run-of-the-mill ingredient, it has received substantial investment to determine its effectiveness through real world, impressive clinical trials on actual relevant human populations. We aren’t kidding when we say that reviewing these studies got us excited! 

The first study of RipFACTOR was designed to support messaging to the sports nutrition consumer¹. This 8-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study featured young adult males who were familiar with weight training and had at least 6 months of experience with resistance exercise. Improvements in strength, endurance and muscle size were seen throughout the study period. A statistically significant increase in both upper and lower body muscle strength were seen as early as 14 days compared to placebo.

A second study was conducted in 2019.  This study focused on resistance training of 'naive' subjects and examined two different dose levels, a 'performance' and 'ultra-performance' dose. An innovative 'efficiency model' design was employed by including a second placebo group that followed a double exercise regimen.

Results of this study confirmed and expanded on the first.  Impressively, subjects taking RipFACTOR demonstrated gains exceeding the placebo group doing twice the exercise. Subjects taking the 'performance' dose also demonstrated similar strength and endurance benefits to subjects doing twice the amount of exercise.  At the 'ultra-performance' dose, the strength and endurance gains were statistically significantly better than subjects completing twice the exercise volume. Improvements in testosterone and cortisol levels for the RipFACTOR group compared to the placebo groups provided a testosterone to cortisol (T:C) ratio that favors anabolism and could be partially responsible for the muscle growth and strength benefits.

A summary of these two studies are summarized below:

A more recent double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 2023 involving young male participants showed Post-trial, the RipFACTOR group also showed significantly increased mid-upper arm circumference and improved body composition and serum hormone levels. The participants’ hematology, clinical chemistry, and vital signs were within the normal range. No adverse events were observed.

RipFACTOR has been dosed in ALPHARIP to deliver the fullest results consistent with the high quality clinical trials conducted on the ingredient to date.

α-Cedrene: A member of the class of organic compounds known as cedrane and isocedrane sesquiterpenoids. These are sesquiterpenoids with a structure based on the cedrane or the isocedrane skeleton. It is a very common ingredient as a cosmetics and mildly sweet taste has turned α-Cedrene into a recurring dessert and beverages ingredient.

ALPHARIP utilizes a high dose of highly purified, isolated α-cedrene which exerts very unique effects as detailed below.

It has recently been identified as a potent agonist of the OR subtype OR10J5, which as previously discussed leads to potent increases in cAMP in target tissues such as skeletal muscle and fat cells. Recent research has shown that α-Cedrene is a promising agent that may be applied to enhance the mass and strength of skeletal muscle through its ability to be a potent stimulator of myogenesis as well as skeletal muscle anti atrophic agent. These are vital pathways to stimulate both the building of new muscle tissue while simultaneously reducing the rate of muscle breakdown.

α-Cedrene has been shown to be highly orally bioavailable (unlike other common purported cAMP boosting ingredients such as Forskolin) and build up in various bodily tissues such skeletal muscle, adipocytes, and the liver, where they can exert its effects where it matters most. They have been shown to affect downstream key anabolic signalling molecules such as PKA Cα, p-CREB, p-FoxO3 and (PGC)-1α1, whilst simultaneously decreasing expression of catabolic signalling molecules such as RING finger 1 (MuRF1) and muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx), which regulate ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent proteolysis. The amount of p-SMAD2/3 (a downstream molecule of myostatin signalling) significantly diminished, whereas the amounts of IGF-1 signalling molecules including p-AKT, p-mTORC, p-S6K1, and p-4E-BP1 significantly increased in the skeletal muscle of α-ionone-treated subjects. In layman’s terms, key anabolic processes are greatly enhanced while simultaneously key catabolic processes are suppressed, leading to a potent net benefit in promoting anabolism.

Activation of the relevant OR subtype also exert positive effects in respect to enhancing glucose uptake, increasing insulin sensitivity and research has shown that they lead to reprogramming of metabolic signatures, boosting levels of Adcy3 and of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation, with concomitant downregulation of the ability for fat cells to increase levels of fatty acids! Furthermore, cAMP is a vital signalling messenger for the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular-axis and production of key anabolic hormones such as testosterone, enhanced levels of cAMP directly correlate with enhanced hormone output!

Expect multifaceted benefits from its inclusion ranging from improved skeletal muscle anabolism, enhanced anabolic hormone production, increased fat lipolysis and oxidation and increased glycogen synthesis.

The individual potential of these ingredients itself is game changing but the synergy between using all three is bound to defy limitation and help bring your fitness to the Alpha RIPPED level. The myth of you can't build muscle and get lean at the same time is about to be debunked as this fallacy becomes your new reality. RIP to the OLD - bring in the New, the ALPHA you, with ALPHARIP!
