SECRET SAUCE is the world’s first BIOACTIVE POST-WORKOUT FORMULA enhanced with pharmaceutical quality BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) for potent anabolic action and fast recovery. BSA is a scientifically documented bioactive protein derived from bovine blood plasma. Research shows that BSA can rapidly speed up the revitalization of muscle tissue, thus helping to build bigger and stronger muscles.
While BSA is the central core to SECRET SAUCE’s anabolic action, this unique and advanced post-workout formula contains many other powerful clinically researched ingredients. During the development process of SECRET SAUCE, the scientists at MuscleMeds endeavored to formulate a product that not only stimulates protein synthesis, but also modulates the anabolic effects of insulin and replenishes muscle glycogen and ATP, which are critical for optimal post-workout supplementation. SECRET SAUCE doubles down with both naturally occurring leucine in BSA and an additional 5 gram leucine-loaded dose of BCAAs in an anabolic 10:1:1 ratio to trigger increased protein synthesis. To ensure peak ATP replenishment, SECRET SAUCE utilizes MuscleMeds Power-AMP Cre3™ Creatine Complex consisting of creatine monohydrate, Creatine Magnapower® and creatine gluconate. Post-workout creatine uptake and ATP replenishment is enhanced by BSA’s plasma transport gradient, leading to increased cell volumizing, muscle size and recovery.
The next important step to complete post-workout supplementation is to optimize the anabolic activity of insulin and replenish glycogen. SECRET SAUCE has taken insulin spiking and glycogen replenishment to a new level with the inclusion of the insulinotropic amino acids glycine and phenylalanine, in combination with MuscleMeds proprietary iSPIKE Insulin-Release-Amplifying Reactive Carbohydrate System. These insulinotropic aminos work in tandem with the iSPIKE reactive carbohydrates and BSA plasma transport to activate a highly anabolic insulin surge and super fast muscle glycogen and ATP saturation. This dynamic trio also enhances the uptake of other key nutrients, peptides and growth factors in BSA to trigger the post-workout growth and repair of muscle tissue.

SECRET SAUCE INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN:
5g Bovine Serum Albumin Bioactive Peptides & Growth Factors
SECRET SAUCE is the world’s first post-workout formula that delivers Pharmaceutical Quality Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) Bioactive Peptides to create a potent anabolic environment that helps produce incredible results and recovery. BSA is a scientifically documented bioactive protein derived from bovine blood plasma. Researchers have identified BSA to have multiple biological factors that help influence muscle growth. Some of the biological factors and functional properties of BSA include its bioactive peptides and growth factors, high concentrations of leucine and essential muscle building amino acids, high osmolality and its ability to enhance the uptake and transport of nutrients such as creatine, amino acids and glucose into blood plasma and speed delivery to muscle tissue.
10:1:1 Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
The BCAAs – Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine – are one of the most highly researched and backed supplements on the market today. They have been shown in research to help prevent muscle breakdown, while promoting a potent anabolic effect. SECRET SAUCE packs a powerful 5g of a leucine-loaded dose in a highly anabolic 10:1:1 ratio to help maximize muscle anabolism and reduce catabolic muscle breakdown following intense training. Stimulating protein synthesis is an essential key when triggering muscle growth and research has shown leucine to be perhaps the most anabolic and effective amino acid for activating mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) – one of the body’s protein synthesis regulators, energy sensors and nutrient sensors of amino acid availability.
Power-AMP Cre3™ Creatine Complex
To further amplify SECRET SAUCE, MuscleMeds scientists developed the Power-AMP Cre3™ Creatine Complex, a multi-source complex that consists of creatine monohydrate, Creatine Magnapower® and creatine gluconate for greater muscle voluminization for superior muscle growth and recovery. Research has suggested that one of the most optimal times to consume creatine is immediately following your demanding workout. The combination of all three forms of creatine in SECRET SAUCE has been shown to peak creatine plasma levels faster, enhance the body’s absorption rate, and boost the generation and regeneration of ATP – which is further increased due to BSA’s plasma transport gradient.
iSPIKE Insulin-Release-Amplifying Reactive Carbohydrate System
The speed at which a nutrient particle is absorbed is partly a function of its surface area. The greater the surface area, the more digestive enzyme molecules can react with it simultaneously. This promotes greater rates of absorption and higher insulin spikes. MuscleMeds researchers have reduced the average size of the carbohydrate particles in iSpike while increasing the total number of particles, thus resulting in a substantial increase in reactive surface area and faster absorption.
The 3 components of high-speed Beef Protein Isolate (BPI), surface area enhanced carbohydrates and a multi-action enzyme system are vital to create major insulin spikes, but the MuscleMeds research and development team took things a step further. iSpike technology utilizes a novel amino acid that has been described by scientists as having insulinotropic properties. This compound acts as the “gatekeeper” for insulin’s path to muscle tissue. By working in tandem with the BSA plasma transport system, it can activate a highly anabolic insulin surge and super fast muscle glycogen and ATP saturation, leading to increased growth and enhanced repair of muscle tissue.
Providing iSpike with its second and third layers of insulin signal amplifying support is a patent-pending mineral known as Chromium 454 (Cr454), plus D-pinitol (a cyclitol). These two compounds take over where insulin leaves off, opening up even more “doors” on the surface of your muscle cells through which glucose can penetrate.
Preliminary research results show that Cr454 may increase glucose uptake into human skeletal muscle cells up to 300%. When more glucose enters your muscle cells in the presence of insulin, even stronger anabolic signals are possible, which support faster speeds of glycogen replenishment and mass building.
