ReceptorMax and Muscle Fibers

They say that ReceptorMax

“Makes slow twitch, growth-resistant muscle fibers act more like fast twitch, growth-anxious muscle fibers.”

Can somone explain to me how thats possible, not that I dont beleive it I just dont understand it after hearing that its impossible

They say that

Coenzyme Q10 Increases Fast-Twitch Fiber Makeup

CoQ10 is a vitamin like, fat-soluble compound that’s found in all cells of the body. It’s intimately involved in the formation of ATP, acts as an essential antioxidant, influences the stability, fluidity, and permeability of cell membranes, and has beneficial effects on cell signaling and gene expression.

However, none of that has much to do with why CoQ10 is included in ReceptorMax?

CoQ10 is unique, almost magical, in that 300 mg per day actually alters fiber properties so that slow-twitch muscle fibers (the ones most resistant to hypertrophy) actually become more like fast-twitch muscle fibers (the ones that hypertrophy easily).(15)

Additionally, 2 to 3 studies have shown that CoQ10 improved aerobic power, anaerobic threshold, and time to exhaustion.

Im just not undersatnding can someone explain and also Im curious for any feedback on the product , thx.

Anybody? Is this a really dumb question?..or does anybody just not know?..

Tried to check out the referenced articles but couldn’t get anything but the abstracts.

On a side note, google scholar is the shit, especially if you’re a college student and set the advanced options to your college library.

Probably included in ReceptorMax as an additive constituent to the effect that ALCAR is supposed to have on muscle tissue (increase androgen receptors).

So:

CoQ10 - increase fast-twitch fibers
ALCAR - increase androgen receptors (hopefully in the increased fast-twitch fibers)

I think he means by what mechanism or how these said characteristics of CoQ12 effect muscle fibers.

I looked at the study in question some time ago, I’ll try to look it up again later tonight. As far as I’m aware though there is just the single study showing the increase in type IIx fibers.

i think it’s magic, but i’m unsure (i checked pubmed and couldn’t find anything sadly)

I’d like to assume they had good reason for including it. The cited study was performed on the elderly, and the conclusion was that CoQ10 “can act to influence the fibre type composition towards the fibre type profile generally found in younger individuals.” Obviously that leaves us wondering whether it would have much effect on said younger individuals.

I’m taking CoQ10 for other reasons, but I do like the idea that it’s magic. =)
