The Story
ATX was founded in 2002 based
on a simple proposition: “One size fits all” isn’t true for athletic equipment,
and it sure isn’t true for athletes, either.
In fact, every sport places specific
demands on an athlete, a unique profile that ATX calls a PHYSIOLOGICAL
FINGERPRINT™.
Using that profile – studying athletes
and working with trainers – we apply a proprietary, patent-pending ATX
process called FUNCTIONAL PHYSIOMICS™ to create our unique Super
Multi formulas.
In 2002 ATX developed formulas for
boxing, martial arts and combative sports that were hailed by managers
and fighters alike as “impressive” and “worthwhile investments,” used by
among others a champion kick boxer, an Ultimate Fighting legend, and one
of the leading boxing trainers in the USA.
We followed those products with a
football formula in 2003 that has delivered record breaking performances
by several athletes at the 2004 NFL Combine*.
As the future approaches, ATX's scientists
are developing Super Multi supplements for more sports.
Ingredients
ATX COMBATIVE SPORTS PRE-WORKOUT
FORMULA ATX COMBATIVE SPORTS
RECOVERY FORMULA
Beet Root: Contains folate,
iron, and potassium.
Calcium Citrate: Most abundant
mineral in the body. 99% is found in bone. Plays an important role in muscle
function.
Chondroitin Sulfate: Major
protein constituent of cartilage, the tough, elastic connective tissue
found in joints. Provides support and reinforcement. Has resilient cushioning
properties.
Colostrum: Contains important
growth factors and antibodies to promote tissue repair and immune function.
Copper: Essential mineral.
Component of many important enzymes.
D-Ribose: Simple sugar. Vital
for the manufacture of ATP, the energy-carrying molecule used by all cells
in the body.
Folic Acid (Folate): B vitamin important
in wound repair and cell growth.
Ginkgo Biloba: Herb from the oldest
surviving species of tree. Widely used to improve mental function and improve
circulation in the legs.
L-Glutamine: Amino acid. Plays a
role in the health of the immune system, digestive tract, and muscle cells.
Some, but not all, studies have validated glutamine’s efficacy in promoting
immune system function (e.g., Castell and Newsholme, Nutrition, 13:738-742,
1997).
L-Tyrosine: Amino acid. Used as starting
material in the manufacture of several neurotransmitters, chemicals that
are required for proper function of nerve cells.
Magnesium: Essential mineral. Important
for the function of muscle. Acts as co-factor for enzymes involved in the
manufacture of ATP, the key energy-carrying molecule utilized by all cells.
N-Acetyl Cysteine: Modified amino
acid. Used to improve respiratory function and blood supply to heart.
Omega-3 Fish Oil: Essential fatty
acids. Many studies suggest that that fish oils lower triglyceride levels
and raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Used
in the manufacture of hormones, red blood cells, and acetylcholine (an
important chemical messenger used to maintain communication between muscle
and nerves). Role in the function of the adrenal gland, a key organ involved
in the stress response.
Siberian Ginseng: The herb Eleutherococcus
senticosus. Widely used to increase physical endurance, mental function,
and promote feelings of well-being.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): Used to process
fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Necessary for the manufacture of ATP,
the key energy-carrying molecule utilized by all cells. In high demand
by heart and other muscles when in constant use.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Used to
process fats and amino acids, and to activate vitamin B6 and folate. Acts
as co-factor for enzymes involved in the manufacture of ATP, the key energy-carrying
molecule utilized by all cells.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Major role
in the manufacture of proteins, hormones, and neurotransmitters (the chemical
messengers necessary for nerve and muscle cell function).
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalmin): Required
for the proper function of nerve cells. Deficiency can cause anemia and
nerve damage.
Vitamin C: Essential nutrient. Helps
the body manufacture collagen, a key component in connective tissue, cartilage,
and tendons. Powerful anti-oxidant.
Zinc: Essential mineral found in
every cell of the body. Over 300 different enzymes in the body require
zinc for proper function. Zinc deficiency can result in a loss of immune
function.
THE SCIENCE OF ATX: FUNCTIONAL PHYSIOMICS™
Every sport has different physiological
consequences, depending on the muscles used, the type and quantity of physical
activity performed, and an athlete’s training status. For example,
distinct muscles are engaged (e.g., fast- versus slow-twitch muscle), and
differential affects are observed on blood and tissue oxygen levels, cardiac
output, muscle glycogen stores, blood serum metabolites, and many other
metabolic pathways. After an athlete has completed a performance,
the body’s physiological state will reflect the specific physical experience,
e.g., depletion of high-energy compounds from the muscles utilized in the
activity, local and systemic accumulation of metabolic by-products, and
injuries and other stress-related events associated with the activity.
Our fundamental insight is that each sport possesses a characteristic physiological
fingerprintTM that is specific for that sport, and substantially no other.
This fingerprint is a molecular and biochemical picture of an athlete’s
physiological state.
Our technology platform is a patent
pending process of designing nutritional supplements that target the specific
physiological needs associated with each sport. Ingredients are selected
to supplement the physiological pathways identified in the physiological
fingerprint™. For instance, the ingredients can be used to
enhance the pathways, or replenish them after the activity is performed.
In addition, ingredients can be selected to promote recovery and address
injuries that are common in the sport. The sum of the ingredients
is a selective nutritional supplement that, when administered to an athlete,
addresses the physiological concerns which are characteristic of the physical
activity (e.g., football, martial arts, running). We do this for
every sport, as well as for the gender of the participating athlete.
We call our process Functional Physiomics™ because it utilizes an
understanding of how an athlete’s physiology drives high performance physical
function.
Identifying the Physiological
Fingerprint™
A critical part of our development
process is to identify the precise physiological fingerprintTM that characterizes
each sport. We do this by researching the medical literature, and
consulting trainers and athletes to understand the specific problems and
issues (we call it the “performance phenotype”) encountered during, and
after, a physical performance. Next, using the scientific literature
and expertise of our nutritional development team, we establish a correspondence
between the exercise phenotype and the underlying physiological activity.
This process is used to establish the physiological fingerprint™
that becomes the target and guidance for developing our nutritional formula.
We create formula to enhance performance (“Pre-workout”), and to facilitate
repair and restore energy after a workout (“Recovery”).
Creating unique nutritional supplements
Using the unique the physiological
fingerprint™, our development team chooses nutritional ingredients
that pinpoint the precise areas that require nutrition and repair.
We target specific functional pathways and systems, and design formula
to precisely fit the qualitative and quantitative needs of an athlete engaged
in a specific sport. Since each sport has its unique fingerprint,
each corresponding supplement will have its own special combination of
nutritional ingredients that, together, provide superior quality and effective
sport nutrition. This is how we translate our scientific knowledge
of the body’s physiology into highly effective nutritional supplements.
In the “one size fits all” concept
of our competitors, nutritional supplements are formulated on the incorrect
belief that all sports are physiologically equivalent. They aren’t.
Our approach is different. We design supplements using scientific
principles. We use the physiological fingerprint™ to make
our formula sport and participant selective. We are so confident
in the novelty and efficacy of our approach that we have filed patent applications
on it.
We only use nutritional ingredients
that are scientifically proven
We recognize that, despite anecdotal
evidence for the effectiveness of nutritional ingredients, many have not
been scientifically tested in controlled clinical trials. To ensure
that all ingredients in our formula our effective, we carefully research
the scientific literature for evidence of efficacy and value, and only
use those that meet our stringent standards.
Our formulas are unique in providing
cofactors
Once we have identified a physiological
response, and an ingredient to supplement it, we look at the entire biochemical
pathway to determine how to achieve the best effect. For example,
other supplement companies use the amino acid tyrosine to enhance the synthesis
of norepinephrine, a chemical used in the so-called “fight-or-flight” response.
Increased availability of norepinephrine provides athletes with additional
and sustained energy levels. When we examined how the body utilizes
tyrosine to produce norepinephrine, we found that certain cofactors (e.g.,
folate) were necessary for it function property. In formulating our
supplement, we not only provide tyrosine, but we also add the cofactors.
This means that all the tyrosine is used by the body in the most efficient
way possible. |
