Synergy Overview
This formula is built around synergistic recovery enhancement, where each ingredient amplifies the others to accelerate muscle repair, reduce soreness, fortify immune resilience, and optimize performance adaptation.
PeptiStrong® provides the foundation by stimulating muscle protein remodeling, limiting muscle protein breakdown, and promoting rapid recovery after intense training or physical stress. When paired with Korean Mistletoe, which modulates inflammation, bolsters immune function, and improves cellular resilience under load, the combined effect enhances both systemic and muscular recovery beyond either ingredient alone.
The inclusion of Recoverben™ Lemon Verbena strengthens this network further by delivering powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, helping to reduce DOMS while improving mitochondrial efficiency. This complements PeptiStrong’s protein-repair pathway and Korean Mistletoe’s immune-focused recovery mechanisms, creating a triad that speeds restoration, reduces downtime, and promotes consistent training output.
Maral Root integrates into this system by supporting strength, endurance, and anabolic drive through its natural ecdysteroid content. When combined with PeptiStrong®, it contributes to more favorable muscle regeneration conditions, while its adaptogenic properties align with Korean Mistletoe and Recoverben™ to maintain energy balance, reduce physiological strain, and support long-term resilience.
Together, these ingredients form a coordinated recovery matrix: PeptiStrong® drives muscular repair, Recoverben™ reduces soreness and oxidative stress, Korean Mistletoe stabilizes the immune and inflammation response, and Maral Root reinforces performance, vitality, and adaptation. The result is a unified recovery and performance blend designed to help athletes train harder, recover faster, and feel better.
FAQ
Q: What changed from the old BOLIC to the new version?
A: The old formula centered on Korean mistletoe, rosemary, and maral root to support inflammation control, immune balance, and adaptive performance.
The new BOLIC expands its recovery pathways by introducing PeptiStrong®, a clinically researched fava-bean peptide matrix that specifically targets muscle protein remodeling and reduces muscle protein breakdown.
It also adds Recoverben™ Lemon Verbena for soreness reduction and mitochondrial support while retaining Korean mistletoe and maral root for immune and performance synergy.
Q: Why did you add PeptiStrong® and Recoverben™?
A: PeptiStrong® and Recoverben™ offer broad and targeted benefits, such as supporting muscle integrity, reducing soreness, and improving recovery timelines, making the new formula significantly more performance-oriented and athlete-focused.
Q: Why is Korean Mistletoe lower in the new version?
A: The old version relied heavily on Korean mistletoe as the primary recovery mechanism at 2000 mg. The new formula uses 1000 mg strategically, allowing room for complementary actives (PeptiStrong® + Recoverben™) that support recovery through multiple independent pathways rather than relying on one ingredient at an ultra-high dose.
Q: Does the new formula still support inflammation and immune balance?
A: Yes. Korean Mistletoe and Maral Root remain for systemic recovery, adaptogenic effects, and immune resiliency. Recoverben™ adds additional antioxidant and mitochondrial protection, providing a broader and more complete inflammation-modulating profile than the old rosemary-driven version.
Q: Is the new BOLIC better for athletes?
A: Yes. The old version was effective for general inflammation and resilience, but the new version directly supports muscle protein synthesis and reduces muscle protein breakdown. Athletes looking for measurable improvements in soreness, adaptation, and training quality will see a clearer benefit with the updated formula.
Q: How should I take BOLIC?
A: Take 6 capsules daily, preferably with food.
For optimal recovery and muscle growth, consistency is more important than timing. You can take 3 capsules AM and PM with your largest meals of the day as well.
Q: When is the best time to use it?
A: Most users take it:
- Post-workout for recovery
- With breakfast on rest days to maintain steady recovery pathways
- Split AM and PM with your two largest meals
Either timing works; the effects are cumulative.
Q: Should I ever take more than one serving per day?
A: Most users will not need more than 1 serving daily.
A second serving may be used during:
- Extremely high training volume phases
- Two-a-day training
-
Competition weekends
Q: Can I take BOLIC with other Morphogen products?
A: Yes, it can be stacked with any other Morphogen product. It is particularly effective when stacked with TEST, CALM, CREATINE, and RECOVERY AMINOS to maximize recovery and performance.
