Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]This application is a U.S. National phase application of the International application WO 2010 / 104418 A1 (PCT / RU2010 / 000098) and claims priority to application 2009109273 filed on Mar. 13, 2009, in the Russian Federation, both applications being hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to the food industry, in particular, to biologically active food supplements, and is intended to build up muscle mass, for example the athletes' muscle mass.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]The best biostimulants and energy-rich products include the preparations developed based on apiculture products. There has also been known a preparation “Tonus” developed based on flower pollen and lactose, approved by the RF President Chief Sanitary Department (TU-64-02-06-244-91), and produced by Biokor Ltd.[0006]However, this preparation does not contain a multiv...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]In the proposed invention, the flower pollen (pollen load) is suggested to be substituted by male bee brood, a substance that possesses a stronger anabolic effect than flower pollen, serves as a natural drug enabling to increase the muscle mass, protect muscles from biochemical damages and achieve maximum results.

[0009]Male bee brood differs from the flower pollen by a larger number of functional groups of enzymes of sulphide groups, as well as hormones, namely, testosterones, progesterone and estradiol. Thanks to this set of substances, male bee brood promotes an increased restoration of biochemical and mass-metric characteristics of spermary and prostate gland, being a stimulant of central regulatory mechanisms of androgen formation intensity.

[0010]The male bee brood increases the level of metabolism during the period of active muscle activity, owing to which physical endurance raises. The male bee brood contains 10 times more steroid hormones compared to the flower pollen.

[0011]The proposed invention makes the process of recovery shorter compared to the prior art due to a higher content of phytoecdysteroids.

Problems solved by technology

However, this preparation does not contain a multivitamin complex and vital microelements.

As of today, “Leveton” does not meet current requirements to rapid build-up of the muscle mass, does not ensure rapid recovery of fatigued muscles after a hard physical load.
