A New Bio-Active Fat-Burning Protein
By Jeff Volek
Here we go again. Another year to dream big about your ideal physique. The question is, are you just going to dream again, only to endure disappointment as January turns into June and nothing much has changed?
Or is 2009 going to be the year that you turn your dreams into reality?
The start of a new year is the perfect time to set goals. If achieving new heights of muscularity and leanness has eluded you for more years than you care to remember, then here’s some good news. New innovations in protein synthesis are emerging at an astounding rate, resulting in powerful new transformational technologies, including one new amazing new protein that may change forever the way athletes trim fat and support muscle mass.

Vectron: Simultaneous Muscle Support and Dramatic Fat-Loss
Oct 2, 2008 General Health & Fitness, Product Reviews
Vectron™: The first and only protein source clinically proven† to target fat loss and preserve lean muscle mass
It’s bodybuilding’s ultimate paradox, the contradiction at the very foundation of every bodybuilder’s efforts to attain perfection. You can’t add muscle mass without adding some fat. And you can’t lose fat without sacrificing muscle.
For bodybuilders, every physique improvement has always contained an element of “two steps forward, one step back.” Bulk up and bulk up some more, adding muscle mass and body fat over a period of weeks until you’re as big as you can be. Then strip out much of the added body fat—and unfortunately some muscle, too—via cardio, thermogenics and more cardio.
Until now.
Vectron™ is the first-ever precision-targeted, bioactive protein matrix to contain Prolibra®, a weight management system clinically proven to improve the ratio of lean to fat mass. As such, Vectron™ has the potential to radically simplify and streamline the traditional “growth cycle.” In the past, a handful of technologies have claimed this ability. But none have had the results from independent human clinical trials to validate those claims. Vectron™ does.
Revolutionary Study Findings: Clinical test subjects retain twice as much muscle with 79% fat loss, compared to control
The Prolibra® 290 protein blend contained in Vectron™ includes a partially hydrolyzed whey isolate yielding high amounts of the anabolic amino acid leucine, bioactive peptides and milk calcium along with a special whey mineral complex. This highly anabolic complex of co-factors has demonstrated a remarkable capacity for sparing muscle mass while dramatically reducing body-fat levels.
Indeed, in an independent, randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical trial† commissioned by the makers of Prolibra® and published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, test subjects showed significant improvements in the ratio of lean mass to fat while taking just 24 grams of Prolibra® per day compared to a control group taking a placebo. This lean mass retention is critical for any diet or exercise program because muscle is more metabolically active and may improve calorie expenditure, thus supporting further weight loss.
Remarkably, the subjects taking Prolibra® retained twice as much lean muscle with 79% fat loss compared to the control group at 51% fat loss. Prolibra is highly exceptional in this regard as no other whey-derived system has been clinically proven to achieve this type of body composition improvement in a 12-week period. Remarkably, the Prolibra® group lost 6.1% fat, which is unheard of with standard protein supplements. Keep in mind, as well, that these results were obtained via a daily dose of just 24 grams of Prolibra®. This outcome stands in stark contrast to the lesser results derived via hundreds of grams daily of conventional proteins.
Additionally, Prolibra® appears to help maintain a healthy glycemic response by reducing post prandial glycemia. In a study†† conducted by Glycemic Index Labratories, participants experienced a statistically significant reduction of up to 37.8 glycemic index units when Prolibra® was added to a liquid meal. This mechanism of helping maintain already healthy levels of blood sugar in turn may assist appetite control and enhance weight loss.
With compelling data such as this it’s become apparent that Prolibra® possesses a capacity for physique transformation far beyond that of traditional protein-and-thermogenics regimens. In fact, regarded strictly as a weight-loss agent, Vectron™ would offer significant benefits for any fitness conscious person looking to lose fat. For bodybuilders, clearly, Vectron™ represents a spectacular scientific breakthrough in the pursuit of a ripped and shredded physique.

Vectron™ has enormous ramifications for bodybuilders everywhere
Now that there’s a highly advanced and unique protein source clinically proven to target fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass, you can bid farewell to that difficult and counterproductive “cutting phase.”
Lose fat and maintain muscle, keep hunger in check, and maintain healthy blood sugar levels, all with the ultimate bioactive protein technology. Sounds like the perfect bodybuilding formula to us. Additionally, Vectron™ is non-hormonal and non-stimulant which makes it fully combatible with virtually all other hardcore physique products including test boosters and even potent pre-workout thermogenics.
The bottom line for this formula is that you’re getting not just another anabolic protein for muscle synthesis but a scientifically engineered system of advanced weight management, which clearly makes Vectron™ the most exciting new physique enhancement tool to enter the market in years. The quest for simultaneous muscle growth and fat-loss has become a scientific reality with the introduction of Vectron.

Prolibra®: Fat-Loss and Muscle Preservation
Sep 12, 2008 General Health & Fitness, Health News, Training Tips
Clinical Tests Demonstrate Dramatic Fat-Loss and Muscle Preservation
Everyone knows that whey protein is essential for the support of muscle growth. But now comes word on the research front that there’s a cutting-edge new bioactive protein that appears to take this efficacy much further.
In a brand new 12 week clinical trial, subjects using a specialized fractionated protein complex called Prolibra® achieved a remarkable mean reduction in body weight of 6.1% while also preserving lean muscle to a much greater degree than the control group. Even more remarkable is the fact that such results were achieved using just 24.4 grams of this specialized protein per day.
Prolibra®’s proprietary composition includes a specialized bioactive peptide matrix along with a special whey mineral complex designed to precisely target key mechanisms of body transformation. Additionally, Prolibra® appears to help maintain a healthy glycemic response by reducing post-prandial glycemia. In a study conducted by Glycemic Index Laboratories, participants experienced a statistically signifi cant reduction of up to 37.8 glycemic index units when Prolibra® was added to a liquid meal. This mechanism of helping maintain already healthy levels of blood sugar in turn may assist appetite control and enhance weight loss.
These results are of great import to bodybuilders, principally because they would indicate that there is now a precision-targeted protein source available to them that would make the difficult task of cutting fat while preserving lean muscle considerably easier. This revolutionary physique enhancement tool is found exclusively in Supreme Protein’s new Vectron™.
