You are a muscle machine. You train hard and put your body through hell – this results in muscle inflammation. No - this is not the pump you get.

Muscle inflammation is a bodybuilder’s worst enemy. It starts a complex series of events called “the inflammatory cascade” that stops muscle growth. If you’re not careful you could end up overtrained, weaker and smaller.

AGENT•M™ is your first line of defence. It is scientifically shown to reduce post-training muscle inflammation by 63%, putting your body in an anabolic state. By combating the inflammatory cascade, AGENT•M keeps your muscle bellies healthy and growing. AGENT•M is your muscle mechanic.

When you train as hard as you do, your muscles use the fuels adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and phosphocreatine (PC). As this fuel breaks down it creates a build-up of acid in your muscles, this is “the burn” you feel at the end of a set. This acidic state triggers muscle inflammation.1 Weight training also triggers the release of the chemicals prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) that boost the inflammation signal in your muscles.

When your muscle inflammation combines with the signal boosters it sets off alarms. Your body releases a massive amount of cortisol.2,3 That’s the last thing any bodybuilder wants.

The problem is cortisol eats muscle. Cortisol’s job is to reduce inflammation, but in large amounts it’s also catabolic, breaking down muscle. Plus on top of all this your testosterone and growth hormone (H G H) levels nosedive.4,5 This process it called the “the inflammatory cascade”, and it keeps doing damage. More cortisol release breaks down more muscle, which causes more inflammation which releases more cortisol and so on. If you’re not careful you could end up smaller.


The more you know about how your muscle-building machine works the better you’ll be at bodybuilding. That’s why inside every box of AGENT•M there is the Muscle Mechanic Manual that will show you how muscles work and grow. Once you understand how your body works, you can kick your muscle-building into high gear.
