肌肉科技MuscleTech®推出含aXivite™（苯基辣椒素）运动补剂-Alpha Test Thermo™

必须向 MuscleTech 致敬——说到从未经加工的宝石中挑选出最优秀的产品，很少有品牌比它更擅长。

MuscleTech 似乎总是走在补充剂成分的最前沿，无论是作为咖啡因的有前途的兴奋剂替代品的副黄嘌呤、新的亮氨酸二肽成分，还是aXivite™ （一种比标准胡椒提取物更有优势的脂肪燃烧强效剂）。

不仅仅是辣椒素，aXivite 是苯基辣椒素

辛辣食物和辣椒素：不仅会让人发热，还会带来肠胃不适的副作用

然而，摄入足够的辣椒素来获得这些好处往往会导致胃肠不适。

解决方案是什么？aXivite是一种创新的苯基辣椒素配方，由SEE Nutrition在美国和加拿大销售。

通过将辣椒素与苯基结合并使用微胶囊化，aXivite 提供了辣椒素的好处，生物利用度提高了 8 倍，并减少了胃肠道副作用。[12]

最近的研究证明了aXivite™ 作为运动员和健身爱好者增能辅助剂的潜力：

提高阻力训练表现

2023 年的一项研究发现，2.5 毫克 aXivite™ 显著提高了受过训练的男性在 70% 1RM 深蹲过程中的平均速度，并减少了速度损失。它还降低了自觉用力程度和肌肉损伤指标。[13]

运动期间增强脂肪氧化

2023 年的另一项研究表明，aXivite™ 在每个参与者以最大脂肪氧化强度进行的稳态有氧运动中增加了脂肪燃烧并降低了心率。[14]

增强功率输出

第三项 2023 年的研究发现，在经过多项运动训练后，aXivite™ 可以提高训练有素的个体在深蹲时的举重速度，并增加反向运动跳跃高度。[15]

更低剂量，更佳效果

重要的是，这些研究显示，与常规辣椒素（12 – 24 毫克）相比，低得多的剂量（1.5 – 3 毫克）也能产生显著效果，这可能是由于 aXivite™ 的生物利用度更高。

这使其成为旨在提高运动表现和恢复能力的运动营养产品中一种有前途的成分。

虽然还需要更多研究，但目前的证据表明，aXivite™ 可能会改变增能剂和促进新陈代谢补充剂领域的格局。它能够提高举重速度、脂肪氧化和功率输出等指标，同时减少自觉用力，因此受到众多运动员和健身爱好者的青睐。

随着我们对 aXivite™ 的了解不断加深，我们可能会看到它被纳入锻炼前配方、脂肪燃烧剂和恢复辅助剂中。目前，那些对其潜在益处感兴趣的人可以寻找含有 aXivite™ 的补充剂，请记住，根据目前的研究，2.5 毫克的剂量似乎是最有效的。

肌肉科技MuscleTech早期采用aXivite™ 充分表明了他们愿意走在配方前沿。通过将这种尖端成分融入Burn iQ、Alpha Test Thermo和Alpha Test Thermo XTR等多种产品中，这个大联盟品牌已将自己定位为行业创新领导者。 

加上他们迅速而早期地采用了副黄嘌呤、HMB 游离酸和 ATP等成分，多年来他们无疑是一个值得关注的品牌。

他们对健身行业最酷的贡献之一是他们将各种补充剂类别组合在一起，例如 Burn iQ 和 Alpha Test Thermo 产品中融合了睾酮提升和脂肪燃烧功能。
