I recently tested out the new "miracle supplement" from Labrada Fitness called HICA Max. I took HICA Max over a period of 45 days. This product was so horrible I am not even going to include a link to the bodybuilding.com store for purchase...

Conclusion: This has to be one of the absolute worst supplements I have ever consumed!
According to the Labrada Website HICA Max Is:
A Powerful Non-Hormonal Muscle Growth Support!*
HICA-MAXâ„¢ is a powerful non-hormonal, natural support for muscle growth.* HICA-MAXâ„¢ chewables contain 100% high grade leucic acid, also known as alpha-hydroxy-isocaproic acid (HICA), a natural metabolite of the branched chain amino acid, leucine.
HICA-MAX™ works by supporting protein synthesis (anabolism), and promoting decreased muscle protein breakdown (catabolism.)* Its mechanism of action has been suggested as an independent mTOR signal transducer, which is a “cell-signaler†for muscle protein synthesis. * Leucic acid also interrupts muscle protein breakdown by activating nuclear factor kappa B and inhibiting caspase-8. It may also activate IGF-1, a growth factor that helps age-related decreases in your body's growth hormone output.*
