The Quick And Easy Way to Tone Up This Summer
If you’re like me, you’re just about ready to PANIC!
Why? Because summer is just around the corner and I want to go to the beach and don’t want an unsightly roll of stomach fat to hide the beautifully crafted elastic band at the top of my togs. ‘It wasn’t my fault, Your Honour! Winter was long and arduous, so I had to eat a lot of comfort food and avoid any sort of exercise as the weather was really nasty outside!’
Of course, I could try and fix the issue myself in the brief period of time we have before our grey windswept beaches magically transform into sun-baked sands by taking on one of these eating fads I’m always hearing about on TikTok. You know; the Keto, Paleo, Calorific Deficit, or Warrior Diets.
But there’s a problem; I still want to enjoy my God-given right to drink beer whenever I please and don’t really fancy munching on ancient grains from a nosebag all day. So, what’s a poor bloated slob to do?
Turn to nutraceuticals, my boy, it’s the easy answer!
Nutraceuticals are, like the name suggests, goods developed from food that offer both nutritional and medicinal benefits at the same time. Plus, as an added bonus, they can also address the issues that no amount of diet and/or excessive exercise can make a major dent on, namely; those caused by advancing age. That’s because our body composition and shape changes as we become older – our body fat goes up, fatty tissue around our core and internal organs builds, and the lean muscle mass we worked so hard for so long to build, atrophies away. And, if that’s not bad enough, that fast-burning metabolism we used to have in our youth, dwindles too.
Kiwi biotech company SRW Laboratories have been working on nutraceuticals to deal with these very problems and have just launched Msc¹ Tone which supports muscle tone, fat metabolism in cells and ketosis. Msc¹ Tone is also very good at combating the issues with ageing bodies. “The natural ageing process causes changes to your body shape which can seem inevitable,” Greg Macpherson, the founder of SRW Laboratories, says, “However, with the right lifestyle choices and supplementation, you’re able to support muscle retention and the body’s ability to metabolise fat as a source of energy, which in turn can support and optimise your health.”
Greg describes Msc¹ Tone as a synergistic formulation consisting of HMB, BHB and OKG which provides key metabolites and essential nutrients to support muscle tissues and fat metabolism pathways. HMB – or beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate as it’s known in the labs – is a completely natural substance your body produces when it wants to break down the amino acid leucine. It is also often used as a dietary supplement primarily for the enhancement of strength and lean body mass in resistance training. BHB is also made by your body when accessible calories from carbohydrates run low and is involved in regulating metabolism and supporting ketosis. Meanwhile OKG is both an amino acid involved in energy and protein metabolism, and a supporter of the chief energy-producing cycle in the body.
A long time in development
The Msc¹ Tone was developed alongside Professor Gustavo Duque, a world leader in ageing and musculoskeletal research and who acts as an SRW advisory board member. Prof. Duque has dedicated the last 15 years to research on the development of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to ageing, frailty and musculoskeletal conditions, with a heavy emphasis on the benefits of HMB in clinical trials. “We have investigated the dual effect of supplementing HMB to support muscle and bone health,” Prof. Duque says, “The on-going studies are showing promising results to support lean muscle mass and the health of muscle strength and function.”
Lean into summer
Summer is just around the corner and if you’re wanting to look good in your togs then don’t panic – a nutraceutical like Msc¹ Tone could be the kick-start you need. Msc¹ Tone won’t make you fitter but it can make you leaner – plus maintain whatever muscle mass you’ve already developed, along with helping your body use up whatever fat it has stored as an energy source. If you’re older, or even if you’re younger but with a low or sluggish metabolism, Msc¹ Tone has been designed very much with your body in mind.
