Mechanisms of Action
1. cAMP Activation:
α-Cedrene has been shown to elevate cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels, a crucial secondary messenger involved in various cellular processes. Increased cAMP can enhance protein synthesis and reduce muscle protein breakdown, contributing to muscle hypertrophy and anti-catabolic effects.
2. Olfactory Receptor Engagement:
Research indicates that α-Cedrene acts as an agonist for specific olfactory receptors, such as OR10J5 and MOR23, present in muscle and liver tissues. Activation of these receptors by α-Cedrene leads to increased cAMP levels in target tissues, influencing muscle growth and lipid metabolism.
3. mTOR/Akt Pathway Stimulation:
Studies have demonstrated that α-Cedrene can activate the mTOR/Akt signaling pathway, which plays a pivotal role in regulating muscle protein synthesis and growth.
4. Myostatin Suppression:
Myostatin is a protein that inhibits muscle growth. Animal studies suggest that α-Cedrene may reduce myostatin levels, thereby removing a natural brake on muscle development.
Scientific Evidence
Preclinical studies provide insights into α-Cedrene's potential benefits:
Muscle Mass and Strength: In mouse models, α-Cedrene supplementation led to increased skeletal muscle mass, enhanced muscle fiber size, and greater muscle strength compared to controls.
Fat Loss and Body Composition: Research indicates that α-Cedrene can decrease triglyceride accumulation in liver cells and reduce hepatic steatosis in mice fed a high-fat diet, suggesting a role in improving lipid metabolism and body composition.
Product Composition and Usage
Dosage: Each Alpha One softgel contains 1,000 mg of 95% pure α-Cedrene.
Suggested Use: Begin with one softgel daily for the first five days. If well-tolerated, the dosage can be increased to two softgels per day. On workout days, take one softgel 30–60 minutes before exercise.
Stacking: Alpha One is non-hormonal and can be combined with other supplements to enhance results.
