HICA MAX is a powerful non-hormonal, natural stimulator of muscle growth. HICA MAX chewables contain 100% pharmaceutical grade leucic acid, also known as alpha-hydroxy-isocaproic acid (HICA), a natural metabolite of the branched chain amino acid, leucine.

HICA MAX works by increasing protein synthesis (anabolism), and decreasing muscle protein breakdown (catabolism.) Its mechanism of action has been suggested as an independent mTOR signal transducer, which is a "cell-signaler" for muscle protein synthesis. Leucic acid also interrupts muscle protein breakdown by activating nuclear factor kappa B and inhibiting caspase-8. It may also activate IGF-1, a growth factor that helps age-related decreases in your body's growth hormone output.

As a hard training athlete, HICA MAX can help you:

Unlike prohormones or anabolic steroids, HICA MAX activates anabolic and anti-catabolic pathways without directly affecting your body's hormonal balance. HICA MAX gives you maximum muscle growth without negative side effects. You don't have to cycle off HICA MAX.

Just three HICA MAX tablets is an efficacious daily dose of what may be the most powerful non-steroidal muscle growth stimulator in existence. HICA MAX comes in 4 delicious, sugar-free flavors. HICA MAX offers the most cost-effective solution to accelerating muscle growth gains in the gym while also reducing muscle soreness from super-charged workouts.

Highly recommend Hica Max!!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No November 19, 2012 Reviewer: Don in Texas No more trial and error for me.....I am a hard gainer and have always struggled to find supplements that help me add muscle mass, HICA-Max works for me to the tune of almost a pound per week when I also eat right. The best tasting chewable supplement I have ever taken! Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No September 02, 2011 Reviewer: A customer in Tennessee I've been using HICA MAX to good results for about 4 months now. Because I use high frequency weight training, I wanted to help insure myself against over-training. Overall, I feel a little less sore and have made steadier gains in lean mass. It's not a miracle or anything, but I stay stocked on it and will continue to. It's definitely worth a try; and be patient, as it took me 2 weeks to really notice. Was this review helpful to you?
