Key Ingredients Found in Torch™ After-Burn: Whey Protein Whey protein is a naturally complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the essential amino acids required in the daily diet. It has the ideal combination of amino acids to help improve body composition and enhance athletic performance. Whey protein has been shown to increase muscle mass and muscle strength and improve training efficiency in athletes. Whey protein is an excellent source of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs); these basic building blocks, including leucine, isoleucine and valine, are particularly conductive to muscle growth and regeneration as they promote healthy protein synthesis in human muscle. BCAAs are important for athletes, because unlike the other essential amino acids, they are metabolized directly into muscle tissue and are the first ones used during periods of exercise and resistance training. Casein Protein Casein will slowly release amino acids into the blood stream as it is being digested, possibly over a full seven hours. This time release of amino acids promotes a very favorable anti-catabolic state (protecting muscle tissue from breaking down). Theoretically whey is a better protein for muscle anabolism, however, studies have shown that the fast influx of aminos from whey cause a high anabolic response very fast (muscle building) with no anti-catabolic properties. Combining both whey and casein in a sensible ratio provides the positive benefits from both of these proteins. Vitamin E and Vitamin C Prolonged or strenuous exercising can overexert the body’s ability to neutralize the reactive oxygen species created. These pro-oxidants damage cell structure and cause oxidative stress. Supplementation with antioxidant, Vitamin C, has been shown to inhibit the exercise-induced increase in the rate of lipid peroxidation. A recent study at the Vitamin C is involved in a number of biochemical pathways that are important to exercise metabolism and the health of exercising individuals. A placebo-controlled study found Vitamin C supplementation increased erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes during competition, while athletes given placebo experienced increases in uric acid and lactate dehydrogenase. The researchers concluded that Vitamin C supplementation defends against oxidative stress. B-Vitamins B-vitamins include thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), folate, pyridoxine (B6) and cyanocobalamin (B12). These vitamins are essential for breaking down carbohydrates into glucose (providing energy for the body); breaking down fats and proteins (aids in normal nervous system function); and maintaining muscle tone. Requirements for B-vitamins are increased due to stress on metabolic pathways and increase in metabolism. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. ↓ More ↓

What Makes Torch™ After-Burn Unique? Optimizing your workout means more than just powering through a few more reps, running an extra mile or signing up for one more aerobics class. Your physical performance depends on the strength and proper function of your muscles, your energy levels and the ability of your body to recover after workouts, and science is instrumental in determining and optimizing those factors. To boost performance and realize your maximum athletic potential, muscle must meet science at two critical points: Immediately before your workout, and immediately after. For body builders and serious athletes looking to add a few extra reps, runners who want to bump those three-mile runs to five, mothers wanting to get back into shape after having a baby and middle-aged men and women starting to feel their age, we've combined the science of nutrition with the needs of athletes for a powerful pre- and post-workout supplement regimen. Designed to be taken as a complete workout supplement system, the Torch™ sports nutrition line will help you optimize your workout, increase muscle growth and aid in muscle recovery. Torch: After-Burn is for anyone who has physically exerted themselves and needs to restore electrolytes lost and give their body the protein boost it needs. Torch: After-Burn is formulated to increase muscle cell hydration, stimulate muscle growth, help reduce muscle soreness, and provide the body with a cardiovascular defense and energy boost. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. ↓ More ↓

Comments about Market America Torch™ After-Burn: I've been taking this product both vanilla and chocolate flavors and I can't say enough about it. I love the taste, and the protein I got from it. I work out 4, 5 even 7 times per/wk. because I have the energy I gained from it. It's also the best product I ever taken that ease out all your pains. This is by far the best protein shake in the market. It mixed well with a shaker, so get yourself a shaker & you ready to rock! Pros

Comments about Market America Torch™ After-Burn: I found using this product in combination with the Pre-Burn really maximized my workouts. I didn't feel run down after a hard workout and I was also ready to go hard at it again the next day. It isn't a heavy drink and it doesn't have a lot of sugar. Highly recommend! Pros

Comments about Market America Torch™ After-Burn: My biggest issue with working out was recovery time. Because I was in such bad shape, I'd workout with a trainer, and it would take 5-7 days before it was even possible to consider anything fitness related again! Torch Afterburn solved that problem for me. Now I can work out every day or every other day without the extreme pain and stiffness. I can push harder, farther, faster... and not be concerned about how I'll survive tomorrow! Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Market America Torch™ After-Burn: I use this product everytime I exercise or work out. It's great tasting and goes down very easily, as long as you dissolve it right. So one tip in mixing is to mix it slowly and stir at the same time, and this prevents chunks from forming. Pros

Comments about Market America Torch™ After-Burn: Being in a health improvement program for the past 14 months I've revised my goals for weight loss several times as I've increased activity levels. Recently I began a 2-3 times/week cardio-exercise program to break a plateau that I've been stopped at for many months. I use the Torch Program (Pre-Burn, Hydrate, & After-Burn) on the days of these new activity days. I've found increased energy levels produce a net result of weight loss over the 8 weeks of usage. I stray a bit from the directions by mixing in Almond Milk rather than water. I occasionally add a small scoop of lite vanilla ice cream and mix as a milk shake. Next time I order I'll try the chocolate flavor. I'll continue to purchase this product.
