Growth

Overview 

Transparent Labs Growth is a versatile anabolic catalyst featuring a clinically effective dose (1,500 mg) of Mediator® phosphatidic acid in every serving. This formula amplifies muscle protein synthesis and bolsters athletic performance through dynamic intra- and inter-cellular signaling pathways that govern muscular adaptations. Since Mediator® phosphatidic acid is a stimulant-free ingredient, you can stack Growth with your favorite pre-workout and post-workout supplements for additional performance and body composition benefits.

Key Features

• Clinically Dosed Phosphatidic Acid Supplement: Each serving of Transparent Labs Growth provides a clinically studied dose of patented Mediator® Phosphatidic Acid, a naturally occurring glycerophospholipid that plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis (and, by extension, muscle growth).

• Supports Lean Body Mass & Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy: Several studies have found that phosphatidic acid supplementation significantly increases resistance-exercise-induced hypertrophy and lean muscle mass in active individuals.

• Amplifies Muscle Strength Gains: Supplemental phosphatidic acid is suggested to promote muscle protein synthesis through a distinct pathway that ultimately converges with mechanical stimuli, creating a more pronounced muscle hypertrophy response after lifting weights.

• Pure, Quality Ingredients (No Fillers or Nonsense): Consistent with our core values, each batch of Transparent Labs Growth is third-party tested for purity, potency, and authenticity. This unflavored powder contains absolutely no additives and mixes easily in water.

Active Ingredients and Benefits

Mediator® Phosphatidic Acid | 1,500 mg

Phosphatidic acid is a naturally occurring molecule, specifically a glycerophospholipid, found in cell membranes. It acts as a lipid mediator by transmitting signals within cells that are essential for various biological processes, including muscle protein synthesis. Mediator® Phosphatidic Acid is a patented and clinically studied form of phosphatidic acid that has been shown to increase max strength, muscle mass, and fat loss in healthy adults who engage in resistance training [1].

The ergogenic benefits of phosphatidic acid supplementation appear to be independent of protein intake, suggesting that it is an integral mediator of the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein complexes that control skeletal muscle protein synthesis [2, 3]. As such, phosphatidic acid ingestion may confer an additive anabolic effect with other muscle-building supplements and adequate protein intake.

How To Use

As a dietary supplement, mix one scoop (1.5 grams) of Transparent Labs Growth in 4-6 oz of water and consume once daily, preferably on an empty stomach or between meals. This powder may also be taken as a "dry scoop" and washed down with water.

Optimal Timing

We recommend taking your daily serving of Transparent Labs Growth on an empty stomach 30-45 minutes before exercising. If you use a whey protein powder after working out, this protocol will allow enough time for resensitizing muscle protein synthesis before taking your post-workout whey protein shake.

FAQs

How Many Servings Are in Each Container of Growth?

There are 30 servings per container of Growth.

Can I Take Growth with Other Supplements? 

Yes, absolutely. Phosphatidic acid can generally be taken in conjunction with other supplements, such as protein powders and creatine, without adverse interactions.

How Should I Take Growth?

Please refer to the "How to Use" section above for instructions on how to take Growth.

Are There Any Side Effects of Using Phosphatidic Acid?

Phosphatidic acid (PA) supplementation has been extensively studied and found to be safe for both men and women. When used at recommended dosages (typically up to 750 mg daily), it may occasionally cause minimal gastrointestinal side effects.

However, as with any supplement, it is advisable you consult a healthcare professional before beginning use, particularly if underlying health conditions exist or take prescription medications. 

Is Phosphatidic Acid Supplementation Safe to Take for Athletes? 

Phosphatidic Acid supplementation is generally considered safe for athletes when taken at recommended doses. Studies have shown it to be non-toxic and well-tolerated (e.g., a daily intake of 750 mg over 8 weeks in healthy college-aged individuals). 

How Long Will It Take to See Results with Phosphatidic Acid? 

The time it takes to see notable results with phosphatidic acid supplementation can vary, but significant improvements in muscle growth and strength have been documented within an 8-week period in resistance-trained individuals. Consistency in supplementation (i.e. daily use) and a diligent resistance-training regimen are essential for maximizing the benefits of phosphatidic acid.
