MPA Supps Pharmgrade Platinum-PA

Product description

MPA Supps PharmGrade is not a “BCAA product.” Make no mistake, this product is comprised of top quality Ajinomoto branded Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) in a potent dosage. It does not end there - we added the patented and well-researched ingredient Phosphatidic Acid - a.k.a. “Mediator.” ​This vital phospholipid is shown to ignite strength increases and muscle recovery via mTOR stimulating pathways. This is a 2-in-1-formula of name branded ingredients for a beyond generous price.

Muscle Building and Testosterone Boosting Wonders of Phosphatic Acid and Phosphatidylserine

Two tablespoons of Fern Lecithin contains approximately:

800mg of Phosphatidylserine
900mg phosphatidic acid

Warning it can give you a fishy smell along with the muscles.

A Legal Substance That Turns On Muscle Growth

MuscleTech Phospha Muscle, Clinically Studied & Fully Dosed Form of Phosphatidic Acid, 140 SoftGels MuscleTech Phospha Muscle is one source of Phosphatic Muscle along with Soy Lecithin

Phosphatidic Acid increases the rate of muscle protein synthesis post-workout.

According to the MuscleTech website:

"Phosphatidic acid is an important signaling lipid that plays a role in a range of biological processes, including protein synthesis. It is a major part of cell membranes and plays several roles in the functioning of cells.

However what’s most important to anyone looking to build more muscle is that phosphatidic acid has been shown to activate the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (more commonly known as mTORC1) signaling pathway, enhancing the effects of weight training."


Swanson Ultra Triple-Strength Phosphatidylserine is a pill form of Phosphatidylserine that is shown to lower cortisol.

Phosphatidylserine is a lipid that lowers cortisol post-workout which in turn increases testosterone since the two have an inverse relationship.

According to Muscle and Fitness:

"This specialized lipid, naturally found in membranes and nervous tissue, can considerably reduce cortisol levels - particularly after exercise - when taken in supplemental form. Two studies from the First Medical School, University of Naples (Italy), reported that phosphatidylserine (PS) supplementation significantly blunted cortisol after intense workouts without negatively affecting GH levels. Take 800 mg of PS derived from soy immediately after workouts to diminish cortisol and keep you from falling into the overtraining zone."



From the Examine.com Soy Lecithin page:

“A study using 400-800mg of Phosphatidylserine and 450-900mg phosphatidic acid via soy lecithin (total oral dose of soy lecithin being 1,980-3,960mg) in 80 otherwise healthy adults subject to a stress test (Trier Social Stress Test) noted an anti-stress effect that peaked at the lowest dose as assessed by salivary ACTH and cortisol (both salivary and serum) as well as the STAI rating scale (particularly the subscale of distress); this study was funded by a producer of soy lecithin.^[11]”

Product Review: Leucine is King (Part 8): Top 10 Branch Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) Drinks

Let’s review why I have I been talking about leucine so much? This amino acid somehow through human evolution or by Devine design has the ability to bypass the gut and the liver and go straight to the blood stream. When levels of this amino acid rise in the blood stream the body starts up a process you know as protein synthesis. The creation of new muscle. 

Gains require new muscle and 3 – 4 grams of leucine ingested seems to do the trick. 

While there are many BCAA drinks out there, these 10 have the required 3 – 4 grams of leucine needed to kickoff the process. You can drink this during your workout or post-workout. Consuming a complete protein within the hour means the muscle building and you are growing. I list them in no particular order.
