An amino acid that is conditionally essential when training at a high intensity. L-Glutamine plays a central role in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance and an anabolic state by reducing muscle breakdown and supporting cells. Additionally, it acts as a muscle protector when on a fat-loss regimen. In terms of GH, L-Glutamine has been shown to help increase natural GH production and secretion.
Old School Labs x Samir Bannout
We’ve joined forces with IFBB Hall of Famer and OSL Ambassador Samir Bannout, one of the greatest bodybuilders to ever live, to bring back & modernize two iconic formulas that he's credited for his historic 1983 Mr. Olympia win. The results from these two products vastly exceeded our expectations. Wait till you try them.
OSL is proud to announce the launch of the pro-grade Samir Bannout Signature Series.
The Legend Himself
Widely known as one of the best to ever step on the stage, Samir Bannout participated in more than 50 competitions & famously lifted the 1983 Mr. Olympia trophy.
Renowned for his posing & his incredibly developed lower back, which was immortalized as the “Lebanese Cedar'', Samir was inducted into the IFBB Hall of Fame in 2002.
During his competition preps, Samir religiously consumed the two formulations we’ve modernized & reincarnated today under the Samir Bannout Signature Series: REPLICA GH (growth formula) & LAVA 196 (fat burner).
This is your chance to experience greatness at its finest!
REPLICA GH
The Formula
L-Glutamine (6,000 mg)
L-Lysine (as L-Lysine HCl) (1,250 mg)
Lysine is an essential amino acid that the body cannot make. This EAA helps improve calcium absorption, which supports bone strength and skin structure. It can also enhance the recovery and healing process. Most important for those looking to increase their lean muscle mass, L-Lysine HCl can stimulate GH release.
L-Arginine (as L-Arginine HCl) (1,000 mg)
Arginine is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays a vital role in cell division, immune system response, healing wounds, removing ammonia from the body, and releasing hormones. The body can convert arginine into nitric oxide as needed to help enhance muscle pumps and vascularity. L-Arginine has also been shown through research to be able to boost GH levels in the body.
L-Ornithine (as L-Ornithine HCl) (1,000 mg)
Building a muscular physique can be challenging, but L-Ornithine HCl plays a key role in boosting strength as well as improving muscular endurance. This amino acid also helps increase the production of the body’s natural GH secretion. Additionally, L-Ornithine HCl can aid in the removal of waste products from the body, such as ammonia.
Glycine (1,000 mg)
This powerful amino acid is needed to help make the most powerful antioxidant in the body, glutathione. This helps prevent cellular damage due to free radicals and oxidation. The body also uses glycine to make creatine to help boost muscular strength and performance. When it comes to muscle mass, glycine can prevent muscle wasting and shifting into a catabolic state where the body breaks down muscle tissue — this is especially important when dieting and in a caloric deficit.
Other Ingredients
Citric Acid: Naturally occurring acid found in fruits (notably citrus fruits such as oranges). We use it to bring out the flavor.
Silicon Dioxide: This vegetarian-friendly compound, naturally found in many foods, is used to help prevent clumping.
Natural and Artificial Flavors: Countless iterations of taste-testing allowed us to arrive at a flavor that tastes great and mixes easily.
Calcium Silicate: Salt to help bring out the flavors within the product.
Sucralose: A calorie-free sweetener that doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste.
Beet Root Powder: While used to add natural coloring to a product, beet root powder can increase blood flow, strengthen muscle contractions, decrease blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and is loaded with helpful vitamins and minerals to aid in the recovery process.
Stevia Leaf Extract: A zero-calorie natural sweetener. A minimal amount of high-quality stevia is used to remove the bitterness and acidity naturally occurring in L-Glutamine.

Each bottle of LAVA 196 contains a full month’s fat-burning cycle. You may use LAVA 196 for two complete cycles (ie two bottles) before taking a 10-14 day break in order to give your body a break before turning the fat-burning furnace back on!
