I tested it on myself this week, unintentionally, and the results were undeniable. A Real-World Experiment: My Conductance Collapsed in 48 Hours My baseline cellular conductance — a direct measure of ionic charge, hydration quality, and terrain stability — normally sits around 17–18 µS/cm. That’s where a resilient, well-charged mitochondrial terrain should be. After...

What is Senactiv® (AstraGin®)?

Senactiv, AstraGin, glycogen fuel, muscle glycogen, citrulline pre workout, EAA, amino acids, senolytic sportsceutical, muscle cell renewal, ATP energy, endurance booster. Did you know that muscle performance is not just about stimulants or caffeine? It is driven by cellular turnover, mitochondrial output, glycogen fuel, and amino acid uptake. FundAminos combines a precision essential amino acid (EAA) profile with Senactiv® (AstraGin®) to create a next-generation muscle fuel system. When layered with a focused citrulline pre-workout stack, the result is cleaner energy, higher output, and faster recovery for athletes who train hard and care about long-term resilience. What Is Senactiv®? Senactiv® is...
