Item Details - Reflex Fusion

Reflex Fusion contains colostrum which is also known as first milk. Bovine Colostrum is produced by lactating cows within the first 2 days of giving birth. This substance naturally contains a high concentration of growth factors and immunoglobins which have been shown to produce exceptional gains in lean muscle mass compared to normal whey proteins. Reflex Fusion provides a fully research tested and sports nutrition industry 1st amount of 10 grams / of freeze dried organic colostrum per serving.

What is Colostrum?

Colostrum, which is also called first milk, is one of the oldest and most exceptional foods that can be found in nature. It is as old as motherhood itself; it is the milk of any mammalian in the first 24 hours after birth. The effective substances that are present in the first milk are found nowhere else in nature in such high, perfectly balanced concentrations.

From a bodybuilders perspective it could be the perfect protein to take year round, imagine the benefits of supplementing with such an amazing natural product. It easily has the potential to eclipse whey protein as the number one protein for bodybuilders and athletes.

Fusion from Reflex is an industry first by providing 10g of Colostrum per serving - a complex mixture of growth factors and immunoglobins. In a recent study (1) the equivalent of just two servings of Fusion a day were shown to provide superior gains in lean mass when compared to whey protein. This is almost certainly the result of colostrum's proven ability to raise IgF-1 levels in trained athletes (2).

A detailed analysis of Colostrum's indicates the powerful potential:

What's in Colostrum:

Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 and 2

Bovine (Cow) Colostrum contains one of the highest sources of Insulin Growth Factor 1 (IgF-1) found in nature, both bovine and human growth factors have shown anabolic ability to increase protein synthesis and stop the breakdown of muscle protein during exercise.

Transforming Growth Factors are of particular interest due to their ability to promote normal cell growth and regeneration, tissue repair and wound healing. TGF's have up to 100 times more potency than those found in human Colostrum.

IgG has been found to stimulate phagocytosis to neutralise toxins.

IgA helps protect mucosal linings of the gastro-intestinal tract and reduce viral infections. This is also related to colostrums immune system benefits.

IgM

Enhances phagocytosis against micro-organisms.

IgD

Stimulates B-cells to produce anti-bodies and reduce allergic and other reactions

IgE

Reduces allergic reactions

Lactoferrin is an iron inhibiting protein that reduces availability of iron to potentially harmful bacteria, that need iron for growth. Lactoferrin also has anti-inflammatory properties to help recover from sore muscles and joints.

Interlukins

Research has shown that Colostrum contains Interlukin-2, one of the cytokine substances that stimulate the cells that make up the immune system and help reduce the chance of infection.

Lysozyme

This special protein is not readily digested, but lives in the gastro-intestinal tract and prevents the multiplication of harmful bacteria by destroying their cell walls.

Not only does Fusion provide pure Colostrum, but also contains pure undenatured whey protein concentrates & isolates, complemented further by health promoting pro-biotics and a complete enzyme complex.

Fusion costs a little more than the average whey protein product, however we think that the potential gains in health, strength and extra muscle far outweigh the small increase in cost.
