Fusion Strongman
The only Vitamin Pack using the New Progressive Micronutrient System!
Developing hard, quality muscle is never about just doing one thing
right; it’s about doing everything
right: training, nutrition, supplementation and even sleep. But nutrition
isn’t just macronutrients – proteins, carbohydrates and fats – it’s also
essential micronutrients. Micronutrients are the vitamins, minerals and
other biochemical compounds the body needs to build a hard-muscled physique.
STRONGMAN was formulated exclusively for bodybuilders to provide the
complete package of essential micronutrients they need to optimize muscle
growth.
STRONGMAN’s four complexes – MUSCLE•MULTI, SPINACH•FLEX, OMEGA•OIL and
E•400 – work together to help to kick-start muscle growth, speed recovery
and fuel metabolism. Plus, thanks to FUSION BODYBUILDING’s exclusive
SPINACH•FLEX complex, each box contains the equivalent of over 12 cups of
spinach and greens. Strong muscles start with a strong base, and strong
muscles start with STRONGMAN.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Who can use STRONGMAN
- You can. STRONGMAN is a product that any healthy adult can use.
In fact, it’s a product every healthy adult should use. Consider a
bodybuilder’s diet: You’re eating a lot, but you’re probably not
taking in the wide variation of foods you need to get all the
vitamins you need naturally. Without the right micronutrients, your
body isn’t performing at its peak efficiency. With STRONGMAN, you’re
getting the micronutrients you need. Of course, please read and
follow the label and talk to your health care practitioner before
use if you have any concerns.

The STRONGMAN nutrient pack ensures you get the most out of the
macronutrients you are consuming to build muscle, recover faster and
reach your full bodybuilding potential.
The Science of STRONGMAN
Bodybuilding is a science that ultimately depends on putting all the
vital elements together in the right way. You need to stress your muscles so
they’ll want to grow by training them. You need to supplement the muscles to
maximize your training. You need to rest the muscles to grow them. And you
need to feed the muscles to give them what they need to grow. But the
biggest mistake bodybuilders make is thinking that feeding the muscles is
just about macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats). It’s also about
essential micronutrients.
Micronutrients are the vitamins, minerals and other essential biochemical
compounds needed to maintain the body’s overall function and maximum
efficiency. In fact, micronutrients may be considered more important for
bodybuilders than calorie-producing nutrients precisely because of their
ability to impact physiological functions.
Without micronutrients, it’s impossible to catalyze or
facilitate the biochemical reactions that convert the food we eat into
useable nutrients that enable growth, maintenance or even energy to fuel our
metabolism. Vitamins help enhance the action of protein, causing muscle
building and energy production. Minerals maintain the balance of fluids in
our cells and help enhance muscle contractions.
Even if only one of the critical substances is deficient, a bodybuilder’s
progress can be halted in its tracks without warning. Without these vital
micronutrients, nothing happens. Virtually every energy production or muscle
growth process a bodybuilder relies on is dependent on the right proportion
of vitamins and minerals. Nutrient deficiency, which can occur during
intense training, can sabotage any bodybuilders muscle growth efforts.
STRONGMAN is designed to provide the complete package of vitamins,
minerals and other essential biochemical compounds you need to maximize your
muscle-building potential. Supplement science has come a long way in the
last 25 years, and FUSION has put all that science into STRONGMAN. STRONGMAN
is formulated for serious competitive bodybuilders who want to optimize
their anabolic muscle-building capacity. STRONGMAN’s four complexes –
MUSCLE•MULTI, SPINACH•FLEX, OMEGA•OIL and E•400 – work together to enhance
nutrient delivery, support energy utilization and halt free radical damage
to muscle cells. STRONGMAN also exclusively contains SPINACH•FLEX. The
SPINACH•FLEX antioxidant and greens complex results in each box containing
the equivalent of over 12 cups of spinach in addition to other concentrated
greens. No other multivitamin we’ve found offers what STRONGMAN does. It’s
arguably the perfect bodybuilding multi.
MUSCLE•MULTI – Multi Vitamin and Mineral Complex
Bullet Caplet Technology
To ensure your results are explosive, MUSCLE•MULTI’s powerful formula
is transported with Bullet Caplet Technology.
The 3-Stage Disintegration Process
Bullet Caplet Technology is a proprietary innovation exclusive to
FUSION BODYBUILDING. What makes this technology unique is its
micro-channels. During the disintegration process, these micro-channels
are created in the Bullet Caplet structure, and the ingredients in
MUSCLE•MULTI are released from the inside of the caplet to the outside,
dissolving it from the center. This allows immediate and accurate
dosing, making sure the ingredients work together as designed.
Ingredients
Vitamins
- Vitamin A (as All-trans Beta-Carotene)
- Vitamin A is important in the synthesis of protein and involved
in the production of muscle glycogen, the storage form of energy in
the body. Supplementation is essential since high activity levels
can reduce vitamin A absorption by the body.
-
- Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol)
- This vitamin is important for the absorption of calcium and
phosphorus. Calcium is essential for muscular contraction, and
without it, full muscle contractions cannot be obtained. On top of
that, calcium is also needed to keep bones strong to support
increases in muscle tissue and provide a solid anchor for muscle
contraction, while phosphorus is needed to help generate the
synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is required as fuel
for our muscles during contraction.
-
- Vitamin B1 (as Thiamine Hydrochloride)
- B1, or thiamine, is required for protein metabolism
and growth. It’s involved in the formation of the protein
hemoglobin, which is found in our red blood cells, which transport
oxygen in the body. The transport of oxygen is necessary to an
athlete’s aerobic performance. It has been suggested that exercise
frequency, intensity and duration increase the amount of thiamine
required by the body, and increased supplementation with thiamine
can result in enhanced athletic performance.
-
- Vitamin B2 (as Riboflavin)
- The main function of riboflavin is energy production, including
glucose metabolism, fat oxidation and transport of hydrogen ions
through the process that helps generate ATP, the energy source that
our cells need to perform work. It has been shown that riboflavin
can even reduce muscle cramping due to training.
-
- Vitamin B3 (as Niacinamide)
- Vitamin B3, or niacin, is involved in many metabolic
processes that are related to energy production. Niacin is involved
in both DNA repair and the production of steroid hormones in the
adrenal gland. Nicotine acid, another form of niacin, can cause
vasodilation, which can increase nutrient delivery and muscle pumps.
However, it should be noted that large doses of nicotinic acid, the
amounts needed to cause vasodilation, can actually impede the body’s
ability to burn and mobilize fat.
-
- Vitamin B5 (as Calcium-d-Pantothenate)
- Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is an
essential nutrient required to metabolize proteins, carbohydrates
and fats. Vitamin B5 is also used in the synthesis of
coenzyme A, which is an important enzyme needed for energy
metabolism and the production of ATP. Coenyzme A is also involved in
the biosynthesis of many important compounds, including fatty acids,
cholesterol and acetylcholine.
-
- Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride)
- Vitamin B6 is highly involved in protein metabolism
by aiding in the manufacturing of amino acids. It is also involved
in carbohydrate utilization. Research has shown that athletes have
an increased need for vitamin B6 and that performance can
be improved with supplementation. Vitamin B6 is also
involved in the development of neurotransmitters.
-
- Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin)
- Vitamin B12 is important in carbohydrate metabolism
and maintenance of nerve cell transmission, which is important in
muscle contraction, coordination and muscle growth. It is also
involved in the metabolism of every cell in the body, especially
affecting DNA synthesis and regulation and fatty acid synthesis and
energy production.
-
- Folate (as Folic Acid)
- Also known as vitamin B9, folate is needed by the
body to synthesize and repair DNA. It is also involved in rapid cell
growth and division, and is needed to produce healthy red blood
cells and prevent anemia.
-
- Biotin (as d-Biotin)
- Biotin and vitamin B6 are coenzymes in glycogen
metabolism; this means they augment other enzymes in the formation
of glycogen, the storage form of glucose. Glycogen is essential for
fueling your muscles to contract during exercise. Biotin also has
critical functions in amino acid metabolism and the production of
energy from many sources.
Minerals
- Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate)
- Calcium is not only an essential mineral for bone health but
also is required for muscular contraction. Once muscle cells receive
a signal from the corresponding nerve, calcium floods into the
stimulated muscle cells and binds with important proteins to
facilitate the action of actin and myosin, two important proteins
involved in muscle contraction. During exercise, if your muscle
calcium is low, you may experience fatigue. In fact, this may be a
limiting factor to performance and exercise duration. Not having
enough calcium can interfere with the action of actin and myosin,
causing a reduction of the force of your muscular contractions.
-
- Magnesium (as Magnesium Oxide)
- Magnesium is another mineral you need for optimal muscular
function. Magnesium permits nerve chemical messengers to stimulate
the muscle cell so that calcium can enter muscle cells, resulting in
muscular contraction. This mineral also is necessary to produce the
energy our muscles need in the form of ATP during aerobic and
anaerobic exercise. Magnesium is necessary to convert the glucose in
the food we eat into smaller molecules that can be used inside the
mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cells that generate ATP or
energy. Consuming the daily requirement of magnesium helps to ensure
you can optimally contract your muscles to produce sufficient force
and exercise at higher intensities for a longer period of time.
-
- Selenium (as Selenium HVP* Chelate)
- This micronutrient is an essential trace mineral and is known as
a pro-oxidant because it activates the glutathione peroxidase
antioxidant. Selenium has been shown to help reduce oxidative stress
that can lead to DNA damage, and can also inhibit damaging
inflammatory pathways. It is also needed for proper functioning of
the thyroid and the immune system.
-
- Zinc (as Zinc Oxide)
- Zinc is crucial for enzyme regulation and is a component of many
enzymes involved in growth, regulation of hormonal levels, energy
metabolism and protein synthesis. Zinc supplementation can improve
immune function and lower blood glucose levels, and is also involved
in energy metabolism. Of utmost importance to a bodybuilder, there
is also evidence to suggest that zinc is involved in testosterone
production pathways.
Lipotropics
- Inositol (as Inositol Hexanicotinate)
- Sometimes considered one of the B-complex vitamins and referred
to as vitamin B8, inositol is present in all body tissues
and functions closely with choline as one of the primary components
of cell membranes. It is important for growth of cells, and is also
a lipotropic agent, which means it helps metabolize fat and
cholesterol. Inositol has a calming effect as it is involved in the
production and action of neurotransmitters, which are the chemicals
that transmit messages between nerve cells.
- Choline (as Choline Bitartrate)
- Similar to inositol, choline is also placed among the B-complex
vitamins. Choline serves various functions in our bodies, as the
structure of cell membranes and protecting our livers from fat
accumulation. It is also the precursor molecule for the
neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and has been found to help cognitive
function, which is crucial for focus during long training sessions.
Choline has also been shown to protect the liver from certain types
of damage, and can help reverse damage that has already occurred.
Absorption Initiator
- Bioperine® Piper
nigrum 50:1 Extract (black pepper)(fruit) [Standardized to
95% piperine]
- Bioperine is extracted from black pepper and enhances your
natural thermogenic activity by enhancing the delivery of nutrients
into your bloodstream and enhances the efficiency of nutrient uptake
by your body.
