As adults enter their 40s, a gradual decline in skeletal muscle mass sets in, typically at a rate of 0.8% per year. This muscle loss, influenced by factors such as age, physical inactivity, injury, illness, poor nutrition, and certain medications, can have significant consequences. Impaired physical function, reduced metabolism, compromised mobility, increased risk of falls, and prolonged muscle weakness are among the effects of this progressive skeletal muscle decline.
However, there is hope in the form of BIXEPS—a solution that can help prevent or slow down the loss of skeletal muscle. Keep reading to learn more about its potential benefits!
HOW DOES BIXEPS WORK?
BIXEPS targets the thigh muscles, and uses therapeutic, low-energy magnetic fields to promote mitochondrial ATP activation. The magnetism used in BIXEPS naturally modulates muscle development, and is delivered without the use of contact electrodes, pads, probes or penetrating pins. This non-invasive and painless Magnetic Mitohormesis Therapy allows our muscles to recapitulate the metabolic and regenerative effects that are normally associated with physical exercise.
IMPORTANCE OF MITOCHONDRIA
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in every cell of the human body. It generates 95% of a cell’s energy (ATP) to fuel the cell’s activity. Mitochondria has an essential role in cell regeneration by providing energy, regulating metabolism, and contributing to various signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and differentiation.
Different organs have different amounts of mitochondria as they need more energy. Muscle, liver, kidney and brain cells have a lot of mitochondria inside, as they function from the energy that mitochondria produces.
Researchers have found that our mitochondria gradually deteriorate as we grow older.
Mitochondrial dysfunction can contribute to decreased energy expenditure, impaired glucose metabolism, increased production of free radicals; which may result in insulin resistance and increased fat storage. Symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction can include muscle weakness, fatigue, difficulty swallowing, vision and hearing problems, seizures, developmental delays, and organ dysfunction.
Maintaining healthy mitochondria is vital for optimal muscle regeneration and overall well-being, and physical exercise is widely recognised as the most effective means to activate mitochondria.
However, not everyone is able to engage in physical activity. In such cases, BIXEPS offers a solution by activating mitochondria without the need for physical strain. By harnessing the potential of BIXEPS, individuals can promote mitochondrial health and support their muscle function, even in the absence of traditional exercise.
SHOULD I USE BIXEPS?
- Do you often feel tired and sluggish during the day?
- Do you experience muscle weakness, and find it hard to stand or walk for long periods?
- Did you injure yourself, and struggling to get back to normalcy after the injury?
- Is your metabolism slowing down?
- Would you like to increase your body’s resilience and functional capacity to different environmental stressors/triggers?
- Are you in a position where you are not able to do physical activity, but you would still like to reap the benefits?
If you’ve answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions, you should try out BIXEPS to regain muscle strength and improve your metabolism.
EXCLUSIONS: Pregnant women and individuals with active implants in their bodies (e.g. pacemakers and internal defibrillators) are not eligible for BIXEPS.
DID YOU KNOW? POOR NUTRITION IMPACTS MUSCLE LOSS TOO
Our muscle’s mitochondria responds to BIXEPS therapy, by increasing the amount of mitochondria, its energy production and efficiency. The mitochondria requires a constant supply of nutrients to produce ATP (energy) efficiently. Both macronutrients and micronutrients have different roles in mitochondrial function, and with nutrient deficiencies, the mitochondria may become damaged and dysfunctional.
BIXEPS combined with a balanced and nutrient-dense diet, doubles the effects to maintain healthy mitochondrial function (maximises ATP production up to 95%). Following physical activity, the energy usage further stimulates the secretion of myokines throughout the body. Some positive system-wide effects of myokine secretion include promoting blood circulation, fat-burning, bone growth, improving metabolism, muscle and cell regeneration, and decreasing damaging inflammation.
BIXEPS + NUTRITION
BIXEPS is suitable for individuals of all ages to improve muscle health outcomes, especially for those who experience muscle weakness and muscle loss. If you would like to increase muscle strength and improve your overall metabolism, give BIXEPS a go! A minimum of 10 weeks up to a few months (depending on each individual’s condition) is recommended.
Maximise your therapy benefits with the right diet and lifestyle. A clinical dietitian will be able to help you assess your current nutritional intake, along with your nutritional requirements (based on individual’s condition or health status) and advise you on a plan to embark on during the BIXEPS therapy.
