The ArmourBite Mouthpiece is scientifically proven to improve strength, muscular endurance and recovery time. Most importantly, the technology reduces lactic acid and cortisol, which are often referred to as the bodybuilders’ worst enemy. Given these considerable benefits, Jay Cutler recommends using Bite Tech’s ArmourBite Mouthpiece for workouts and competition.

“I came to realize that a mouthpiece is a necessity in training”, said Jay Cutler. “I have always been concerned about grinding and clenching my teeth in training sessions. I found the ArmourBite Mouthpiece and realized that it also has the benefit of improving strength and lowering cortisol.”

Most athletes clench when lifting weights or with resistance training. That clenching leads to the excess production of performance-sapping cortisol and lactic acid. ArmourBite, with its patented Power Wedges™, counters the negative effects of clenching during bodybuilding training and workouts. Reducing the production of cortisol and lactic acid has clear and direct performance benefits for strength athletes at all stages of development and competition.  

“We are thrilled to partner with Jay Cutler,” said Lawrence Calcano, CEO of Bite Tech. “His track record speaks for itself, and our track record at Bite Tech is based on providing all types of athletes with immediate and objectively measurable gains in performance from using our oral appliances.”

Jay Cutler and Bite Tech will make specific product offers to Jay’s extensive bodybuilding fan community and combine efforts to extend the reach of ArmourBite technology.  

About Jay Cutler
Jay Cutler is widely considered the most accomplished professional bodybuilder in the world today.

The ArmourBite Mouthpiece is scientifically proven to improve strength, muscular endurance and recovery time. Most importantly, the technology reduces lactic acid and cortisol, which is often referred to as the power lifter’s worst enemy. Given the considerable benefits, USA Powerlifting has designated the Armourbite Mouthpiece as the official mouthpiece of USA Powerlifting.

Powerlifters typically clench more than most athletes due to the constant exertion. That clenching leads to the excess production of performance-sapping cortisol and lactic acid. ArmourBite with its patented Power Wedges™, counters the negative effects of clenching during exercise and workouts. Reducing the production of cortisol and lactic acid has clear and direct performance benefits for strength athletes at all stages of development and competition.  

“All athletes are looking to raise their level of performance while training and competing, and our technology can help provide significant improvements,” said Lawrence Calcano, CEO of Bite Tech. “Strength athletes are a core focus as our company believes these athletes experience immediate and objectively measurable gains in performance from using its oral appliances.”

“Powerlifters and other competitive weightlifters are a population typified by extensive knowledge of physiology and correspondingly the value of our product, thus they are a natural focus of our company. We are thrilled with the opportunity to partner with USA Powerlifting,” added Calcano.

“USA Powerlifting is well aware of the performance benefits associated with mouthpiece devices, as many crude devices have historically been used by strength competitors to mitigate the jaw clenching that prevents strength athletes from reaching their maximum performance levels,” said Larry Maile President of USA Powerlifting. “Bite Tech has successfully designed and commercialized a sophisticated and elegant solution to this age old problem of jaw clenching and its performance inhibiting effects. USA Powerlifting is also excited to partner with a product that is backed by 15 years of research and scientific studies demonstrating the efficacy of the product and those studies have been published in highly regarded publications such as the Journal of Strength and Conditioning”.

USA Powerlifting and Bite Tech will make specific product offers to the Powerlifting community and combine on efforts to extend the reach of the technology within the sport.

Conducted at The Citadel, the study showed that cortisol levels were lowered by 51 percent at 10 minutes post-exercise in the participants wearing the mouthpiece vs. those who did not. Cortisol levels were measured on all the participants (college football players) before, during and after a 60-minute session of intense resistance training.  

Lowering an athlete’s cortisol levels more quickly after exercise gives the muscles an opportunity to repair faster and help prepare an athlete for the next workout.

In the fall of 2009, Bite Tech partnered with sports apparel innovator Under Armour to introduce custom-fit ArmourBite performance mouthwear products to help athletes of all kinds be better, faster and stronger. Most recently, Bite Tech and Under Armour introduced a line of retail boil-n-bite ArmourBite products to reach even more athletes with the superior technology.

“Years of research and innovation have allowed us to create the first-of-its kind technology that’s having an incredible impact on the world of sports. From pros to amateurs, we’ve developed a proven product that can help any athlete reach their full potential,” said Lawrence Calcano, chief executive officer of Bite Tech. ”And by partnering with Under Armour, a brand known for performance innovation, we’re able to bring the technology to more athletes around the country and even the world.”

More than 1,000 professional, college and elite athletes use ArmourBite technology including Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin, Olympic medalist Lindsey Vonn and PGA golfer Hunter Mahan. Bite Tech also counts numerous professional athletes, including Minnesota Vikings Adrian Peterson, hockey greats Marian Gaborik and Brett Hull, and football legend Raghib “Rocket” Ismail among its investors.

Bite Tech has over 45 issued patents and pending patent applications in the U.S. and around the world covering its proprietary technologies.
