Thermogenesis means the increase of the metabolic rate. Citrus aurantium delivers a unique combination of five adrenergic amines (synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, octopamin and tyramine) to stimulate Beta-3 Receptors that increase the rate at which fat is released from the body stores (Lipolysis) and increase the resting metabolic rate. At the same time Garcinia Extract which contains hydroxy citric acid (HCA), increases the production and storage of Glycogen while reducing both appetite and weight gain. HCA also causes calories to be burned in an energy cycle similar to thermogenesis. White Willow Bark Extract, standardized for Salicin, provides a synergistic action in elevating energy expenditure. Studies have suggested that salicin when used in combination with other thermogenic supplements, helps promote increased fat oxidation. Green Tea has been found to be an excellent source of natural caffeine, and potent Polyphenols (Catechins) especially Epigalloocatechin Gallate (EGCG). They activate the central nervous system, which elevates the body&amp;acute;s ability to burn calories and unwanted fat cells through the thermogenic process. Similar to Green Tea, Brazilian Guarana, a great source of natural caffeine acts synergistically with other ingredients of Ultra Ripped, to promote thermogenesis.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition TestostroGrow 2 HP Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/654/title/ultimate-nutrition-testostrogrow-2-hp-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:35:59 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/654/title/ultimate-nutrition-testostrogrow-2-hp-reviews/cat/122"><img title="utimate_nutrition_testostrogrow_hp.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/utimate_nutrition_testostrogrow_hp.png" alt="utimate_nutrition_testostrogrow_hp.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Testosterone is much more than a sex hormone. Testosterone improves oxygen uptake throughout the body, helps maintain healthy blood sugar, supports healthy cholesterol levels and maintains immune surveillance. Mitochondria use testosterone for Kreb's cycle to occur and energy to be produced. There are testosterone receptor sites in cells throughout the body, most notably in the brain and heart. Protein synthesis for maintaining muscle mass and bone formation requires testosterone. Testosterone decreases body fat and enhances lean muscle mass. Testosterone enhances aerobic metabolism. This has the result of improving muscle tone, burning fat, and improving energy. Indirectly, it is suggested this increase in testosterone also effects mood. Studies have clearly shown that increased testosterone levels have a beneficial effect on overall health, weight, sexual health, and energy in men. Each ingredient in TestostroGROW 2 HP works toward the same goal: to potentiate testosterone. Each ingredient follows a different path to achieve this result. The bioflavonoid chrysin has shown potential as a natural aromatase-inhibitor. Studies demonstrate that chrysin is an extremely potent inhibitor of aromatase ativity. Chrysin, is also a potent antioxidant that possesses vitamin-like effects in the body. Chrysin may offer sexual health supporting effects as well by increasing free testosterone, decreasing excess estrogen. Tribulus terrestris is a plant that grows in many tropical and moderate areas of the world. It is the steroidal saponins, particularly the dominant saponin protodioscin, that are responsible for the pharmacological activities of tribulus. Tribulus terrestris boosts testosterone levels by stimulating the increase of luteinizing hormone (LH). When LH levels are increased, the natural production of testosterone also increases. Cucurbita Pepo and Saw Palmetto Extract are another resource to prevent testosterone from becoming &quot;deactivated.&quot; The Cucurbita Pepo seeds' principal constituent inhibits the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotesterone. As a natural source of zinc, Cucurbita Pepo also helps to optimize the production of testosterone. Saw palmetto berries consist of of a volatile oil, which is high in phytosterols. These ingredients not only control the conversion of testosterone to DHT (DHT is formed when the male hormone testosterone interacts with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase) but also block it's binding to the prostate cells. Saw palmetto also has anti-estrogenic and anti-androgenic effects. When testosterone binds to SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), it loses its biological activity and becomes known as &quot;bound testosterone,&quot; as opposed to the desirable &quot;free testosterone.&quot; Nettle root extract provides a unique mechanism for increasing levels of free testosterone. Constituents of nettle root bind to SHBG in place of testosterone, thus reducing SHBG's binding of free testosterone. Nettle also inhibits the binding of DHT to attachment sites on the prostate membrane and inhibits enzymes such as 5 alpha reductase that cause testosterone to convert to DHT. The combination of Nettle Root with Avena Sativa also leads to an increase of aerobic power and muscle strength. Avena sativa is a botanical extract that has traditionally been used to increase strength, mind, spirit and body. It has also been found to free up testosterone that's stuck to other compounds in your body. Avena sativa is a recognized mood enhancer and has traditionally been used as a remedy to help with recovery from exhaustion and low mood. It works well as an addition to tribulus, enhancing feelings of well being and restoring energy. Researchers have observed that metabolism of estrogen occurs via one of two pathways: The 'armful' metabolic pathway, 16 alpha-hydroxylation, or the 'beneficial' metabolic pathway, 2-hydroxylation. Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) can shift the production of estrogen metabolites away from dangerous 16-hydroxy in favor of beneficial 2-hydroxy metabolites. Indole-3-carbinol is converted by stomach acid to diindolymethane (DIM) and indole (3,2,b) carbazole (ICZ). DIM produces more 'good' estrogen metabolites, which compete with testosterone for protein binding, helping to maintain a higher free testosterone level. The 'good' estrogen metabolites along with increased free testosterone promoted by DIM increase fat mobilization and a fat-burning metabolism. Another reason testosterone production can decline is because of oxidative damage directed at the tissues that synthesize testosterone. Antioxidants support testosterone production. This is where Daidzein and Alpha Lipoic Acid do their best work. Daidzein is an isoflavone. This compound, found only in plants, has antioxidant activity. Alpha Lipoic Acid also acts as an antioxidant, repairing a wide array of free radical damage at the cellular level, keeping cells healthy and aiding in nutrient absorption. Alpha Lipoic Acid aids in the conversion of carbohydrates into energy, improves metabolism and normalizes blood sugar. Hawthorne Berry is rich in flavonoids. It has the ability to dilate coronary blood vessels (the vessels supplying the heart with vital oxygen, blood, and nutrients), and strengthen the heart's pumping ability. Some of the flavonoids increase the force of contraction of the heart by inhibiting the enzyme cAMP phosphodiesterase (the enzyme responsible for breaking down cyclic adenosine monophosphate). Cyclic AMP is an intracellular secondary messenger of luteinizing hormone (LH). TestostroGrow 2 HP is a versatile time-release anabolic stack that combines the most effective testosterone stimulators available. It has been precisely formulated to potentiate testosterone in order to ensure a steady, nonstop state of increased testosterone for more successful anabolic results.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Saw Palmetto Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/653/title/ultimate-nutrition-saw-palmetto-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:27:51 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/653/title/ultimate-nutrition-saw-palmetto-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_saw_palmetto.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_saw_palmetto.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_saw_palmetto.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;The same high quality as the extract, these capsules contain many primary nutrients and elemental minerals essential to good health.

Proteins are essential nutritionally because of their constituent amino acids, which the body must have in order to synthesize its own variety of proteins and nitrogen-containing molecules that make life possible. Protein is probably the most important supplement for all athletes, but it is especially indispensable for those involved in long-term, high intensity endurance training. Because of this, many of us use a protein powder. Whey protein has been the most popular choice because it is inexpensive and is absorbed fast. However, this strength is also its weakness. Whey is absorbed so fast that it's fully digested in approximately 90 minutes. Your body can only use so much of the amino acid surge that follows the ingestion of whey. Because you're getting a big intake of amino acids immediately there maybe no amino acids left over to nourish your muscles and keep you in positive nitrogen balance in the hours leading up to your next meal. Which means that after your muscles get their initial fill of amino acids, you could go catabolic in the hours that follow. What you need then, is a protein source that is broken down and absorbed slowly. This type of protein source should provide amino acids to your muscles for hours, so that your muscles don't starve in between meals. To get around this problem Ultimate Nutrition developed a time-release protein to fuel your muscles with amino acids. A protein blend consisting of multiple sources of protein is superior to any single-protein source, including whey, for sustained time-release nutritional support. Protein Sensation 81 is made with NitroPro7; Our unique protein blend, consisting of Premium Ultra and Microfiltrated Whey Protein Concentrate, Undenatured Milk Protein Concentrate, Micellar Casein, Undenatured Egg White Albumen, Pure Bioactive Whey Protein Isolate, Partially Hydrolyzed Whey Protein, and Calcium Caseinate. Whey proteins such as hydrolyzate, isolate and concentrate give your body a surge of amino acids immediately after you consume them. These proteins stimulate protein synthesis and make them great for lean muscle growth. Then the mid-release proteins take over. Egg protein is considered the most perfect source of protein because it is complete in essential amino acids, branch chain amino acids and glutamic acid. It is completely and easily absorbed by the body. Protein such as micellar casein, calcium caseinate and milk protein concentrate take much longer to digest and can be considered the extended release proteins, lasting up to 6 hours, thereby giving the body more time to fully digest and absorb those nutrients. This makes these milk proteins ideal for use as an evening protein shake also. Milk Protein concentrate is made up of both whey protein and casein. It offers the best of both worlds. Casein is much more effective at preventing muscle wasting than whey. Calcium caseinate also contains over three times the levels of calcium as whey, making it a valuable component to boost calcium levels in your body. A more complete source of protein means you'll enjoy faster lean muscle gains and quicker recovery after workouts. Time-Release means continuous protein nourishment of your muscles throughout the day and also before bedtime when your body works it's hardest to recover!Protein Sensation 81 is low in fat and carbs, and mixes instantly. Protein Sensation 81 is available in 3 mouth-watering flavors; Iced Vanilla Cream, Chocolate Truffle, and Berry Blast Off.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Protein Isolate Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/650/title/ultimate-nutrition-protein-isolate-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:08:29 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/650/title/ultimate-nutrition-protein-isolate-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_protein_isolate.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_protein_isolate.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_protein_isolate.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Introducing Ultimate Nutrition Protein Isolate, a new wheat based protein shake! Protein is one of the most important supplements for all athletes, but it is especially indispensable for those involved in long-term, high intensity endurance training. It is the fuel for the build-up, mass and toning of the muscle. In fact, protein is essential for growth and development. Wheat protein offers all the benefits of dairy based proteins without any of the lactose and cholesterol. Additionally, it is suitable for use by vegan athletes. Wheat protein also offers a higher Glutamic Acid level than many comparable dairy based protein shakes. Ultimate Nutrition Protein Isolate is fortified with digestive enzymes for optimal nutrient absorption and offers many benefits: * 20g protein per serving * Added digestive enzymes * Only 1 g of sugar per serving * Zero lactose and zero cholesterol * Suitable for vegans and the lactose intolerant Ultimate Nutrition utilizes only the highest-grade wheat protein isolate. Due to its unique high glutamic acid/glutamine content, interest in wheat protein is on the rise. During times of physical stress, glutamine reserves are depleted and need to be replenished through supplementation. Weightlifters and bodybuilders realize that glutamine is critical for muscle building because it is a nitrogen donor, meaning that it moves the nitrogen around in the body to where it is needed. Anyone that pushes the iron understands that a positive nitrogen balance is necessary criteria in the effort to gain muscle mass. Glutamine is the ultimate anti-catabolic preventing muscle wasting which lessens the degree of muscle damage and soreness. It helps the body to secrete its own growth hormone which trigger's the release of IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor 1). This hormone helps promote weight loss, increase lean body mass, and increase bone density. Also, it neutralizes lactic acid burn in your muscles by releasing Plasma Bicarbonate allowing you to work out longer. Ultimate Nutrition Protein Isolate is available in Vanilla Cr&amp;egrave;me and Chocolate Cr&amp;egrave;me 3lb (57 serving) containers. Protein Isolate is beneficial to athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone looking to improve their overall health through a healthy diet.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Prostar Whey Protein Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/649/title/ultimate-nutrition-prostar-whey-protein-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:02:16 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/649/title/ultimate-nutrition-prostar-whey-protein-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_prostar_100_whey_protein.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_prostar_100_whey_protein.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_prostar_100_whey_protein.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;To meet the needs of athletes, researchers at Ultimate Nutrition have developed Ultimate Nutrition Prostar 100% Whey Protein with all the essential and nonessential amino acids to build muscle after intense exercise of both short and long duration.

The result is lack of restful sleep, which can cause a myriad of reactions including restlessness, nervousness, irritation and lost productivity. Melatonin is the natural hormone that the body produces to regulate its internal &quot;clock.&quot; Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland, which is a pea-sized gland at the base of the brain. Even though the exact functions of melatonin are still understudy, it is involved in the synchronization of hormone secretion. This natural daily cycle of hormone release in the body is commonly referred to as circadian rhythm. The human body is under the influence of an internal clock, which controls the secretion of various hormones at different times of the day for the body to function properly. The secretion of melatonin is triggered by the dark and is suppressed by natural daylight, therefore controlling periods of sleepiness and wakefulness. However, melatonin is more than a &quot;sleeping pill&quot;. It can also strengthen the immune system. It works in concert with vitamin B6 and zinc, for instance, to reverse the decline of the immune system that comes with advancing age. In addition, melatonin has strong antioxidant activity and, as such, it supports the hormonal and metabolic networks in the body. These networks undergo additional changes due to intense physical exercise, mental and emotional stress, or even poor nutrition. Some evidence suggests that melatonin may, in fact, lighten and enhance one's mood considerably. Melatonin is also reported to have a role in improving bone health. Ultimate Nutrition's Melatonin is especially designed and manufactured for performance athletes who occasionally may need nature's helping hand to get their rest, and for traveling executives to better control their sleep cycle. Importantly, melatonin restores the natural hormonal and metabolic balance in the body for overall health.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Premium MCT Gold Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/641/title/ultimate-nutrition-premium-mct-gold-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:03:13 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/641/title/ultimate-nutrition-premium-mct-gold-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_premium_mct_gold.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_premium_mct_gold.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_premium_mct_gold.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;MCT Gold is 100% medium chain triglycerides oil. This high yield energy product is in a safe glass bottle to eliminate the chance of plastic residue exchange. Many people think that well developed muscles are evidence of physical fitness. Firm, toned muscles are considered esthetically pleasing and hundreds of thousands of people spend untold hours to appear &quot;muscular.&quot; Their appearance notwithstanding, muscles are specialized tissues that contract to produce body movement. Muscle cells require great energy to contract, especially during intense exercise and endurance training. Nature has evolved a sophisticated system to produce energy that the body needs. Energy is released when muscle cells break down carbohydrate, fat and protein. The body utilizes these nutrients in rather specific amounts during physical activity. Carbohydrates are the body's most readily available source of nutrient energy. Carbohydrates are digested and metabolized to generate glucose, which serves as the immediate source of fuel. Excess glucose that is not used directly to yield energy is transported via the bloodstream to liver and muscle tissue, where it is stored in the form of glycogen. In contrast, fat is the body's most rich source of food energy. Unlike glycogen, fat is the stored in the fat cells and, therefore, is less readily available for energy production. In order for fat to be used as an energy source, it must first be broken down into fatty acids, which are then transported by the blood to the muscle to be burned. Protein is required for the repair and recovery of the muscle tissue. Intense exercise on a regular basis can induce muscle fatigue. Thus, people are recognizing more and more that carbohydrates are an essential factor in preventing muscle fatigue. Carbohydrates, especially refined sugars, however, are not ideal source of immediate energy needed to maintain an exercise regimen. That is where Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) can help the athlete develop stamina and endurance. Medium chain triglycerides are actually not carbohydrates. Rather, MCTs are important fatty acids that provide energy exactly like carbohydrates. Also known as caprylic and capric acids, MCTs function differently from conventional fats. That means that less fat is absorbed in the body. In intense exercise, MCTs prevent the breakdown of the muscle tissue, since they produce the so-called ketones, which are used directly by the muscle to produce energy and reduce muscle loss. Conventional fats do not produce many ketones. In addition, the MCTs are quickly absorbed and circulate in the bloodstream, and they do not produce fatigue as is common with the consumption of simple sugars. The MCTs are unique in that they can be turned into energy inside the mitochondria --the powerhouses of energy production in the cell-- in the presence of carbohydrates. Conventional fats can be burned only after carbohydrate reservoir of the cell has been depleted. This has important implication in that the burning of MCTs in the presence of carbohydrates spares glycogen and, hence, production of ketones and sparing of glycogen both prolong endurance for training and stamina. Medium chain triglycerides also improve the absorption of amino acids, which are critical for muscle tissue repair. Furthermore, MCTS also improve the absorption of calcium and magnesium. These minerals are needed for carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism to improve muscle contraction response time. The MCTs have been shown to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and its deposition in various body tissues. In fact, MCTs are digested immediately after ingestion as they are hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase present in the saliva. Additionally, energy released by the digestion and metabolism of MCTs is converted in the body heat by a process called thermogenesis, which favorably affects the basal rate of metabolism. When the body converts energy into heat, the metabolism increases that, in turn, leads to fat loss. In short, MCTs are known as &quot;carbo-lipid&quot; for good reason, since they not only prevent muscle loss and increase lean body mass but also promote healthy cholesterol levels. The MCTs, therefore are a nutrient that has great value for those in endurance training and the &quot;body culture.&quot;&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Massive Whey Gainer Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/640/title/ultimate-nutrition-massive-whey-gainer-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:57:33 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/640/title/ultimate-nutrition-massive-whey-gainer-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_massive_whey_gainer.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_massive_whey_gainer.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_massive_whey_gainer.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;To gain muscle weight you need a high caloric formula with a 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein and a proper exercise program.

Its main function is to stimulate the breakdown of fats. L-Carnitine is an alpha-hydroxy acid that is primarily located in the muscle. Carnitine is the critical player for the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouses that produce energy in the cell that the body needs to function properly. The energy is produced when fats are burned in the mitochondria. Since mitochondria need oxygen to burn fat, it follows that supplementation with carnitine ensures adequate supply of oxygen to the muscle. The supply of oxygen becomes extremely important when one exercises. Intense exercise for longer periods of time on a regular basis results in the loss of carnitine. Therefore, carnitine must be replaced in order for the muscle to remain toned and healthy. It should be noted that the muscle needs a regular supply of carnitine in sufficient amounts to remain toned and healthy over the long haul. Also, it should be taken for some time before its beneficial effects apparent. On the average, about 10 to 14 days of carnitine supplementation should suffice to keep the muscle supplied with this nutrient that is central to muscle function. L-Carnitine functions in conjunction with pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). Panthothenic acid is converted to its active form panetheine in the body, which is the fundamental component of coenzyme A (coA). Coenzyme A is involved in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria and also to and from cells. Thus, panethenic acid lowers cholesterol and triglycerides levels. Panthethenic acid inhibits cholesterol synthesis and accelerates fatty acid breakdown in the mitochondria, while simultaneously increasing the &quot;good&quot; (HDL) cholesterol. Its lipid-lowering effects are impressive, and combined with its virtually non-existent side effects makes it a viable alternative to conventional lipid-lowering drugs.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Liquid Amino Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/638/title/ultimate-nutrition-liquid-amino-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:47:52 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/638/title/ultimate-nutrition-liquid-amino-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_liquid_amino.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_liquid_amino.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_liquid_amino.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Amino acids are essential to the human body.

In part, it may be attributed to the increasing age of the population as more and more baby boomers advance in years. It is not just typical of older individuals, however. As Americans become more health-conscious and exercise more regularly, the sports-related wear and tear of the joints is increasing accordingly. Joint wear and tear can cause even more damage as the body continues to turn itself, and may result in problems that can be debilitating and may compromise mobility and personal autonomy. There is no cure for these problems, and even the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, provide at best a stopgap solution to the pain and suffering associated with joint deterioration. Recent research has underscored that nutritional intervention can nip these pernicious processes in the bud. That is, if the nutritional intervention regimens are instituted sufficiently early before the body has turned on itself. Ultimate Nutrition's Joint Renew Formula is specifically designed to help promote joint health both in active athletes and in aging individuals. It is a uniquely designed blend of vitamin C and the trace mineral boron combined with glucosamine, gelatin and MSM (methylsulofonylmethane). Glucosamine is a natural component of the cartilage around the joint and, as such, it is necessary to help maintain a healthy state. Likewise, Joint Renew Formula contains gelatin, which in combination with vitamin C promotes joint health. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, and helps resolve the free radical load. Importantly, gelatin has been shown to support joint mobility. The effectiveness of Joint Renew Formula is fortified by the presence of the trace mineral boron. Boron has been used in Germany since the mid-1970s with remarkable results. Boron functions in concert with vitamin C, glucosamine, gelatin and MSM to support joint health. Ultimate Nutrition's Joint Renew Formula is a state-of-the-art formulation to help the aging individuals and athletes involved in intense physical activity. It is the best that Nature can provide.

Ultimate Nutrition is pleased to introduce our all-in-one protein supplement: IsoMass to &quot;hard gainers&quot; everywhere. IsoMass is the future of weight gainers. With a scientifically formulated carbohydrate to protein ratio of 16:13, IsoMass is designed for you to gain serious muscle mass without the added fat deposits. A protein blend consisting of multiple sources of protein is superior to any single-protein source, including whey, for sustained time-release nutritional support. A more complete source of protein means you'll enjoy faster lean muscle gains and quicker recovery after workouts. Time-Release means continuous protein nourishment of your muscles throughout the day and also before bedtime when your body works it's hardest to recover. IsoMass Xtreme Gainer, in addition to other nutritious meals and exercise, provide the body with all the protein and calories needed for optimal muscle growth. The delicious shakes are packed with more than just amino acids. Carbohydrates provide the body with the much-needed material to restore muscle glycogen that has been used up during exercise. They also promote recovery and growth to aid in gaining muscle mass. Added fiber delays the digestion of the carbohydrates, which helps with dreaded insulin spikes. Creatine, when taken before and after a workout, helps transport water, carbohydrates and amino acids into muscles to increase energy, aid in recovery and increase muscle growth. One of the most notable of those amino acids is glutamine. Glutamine is highly in demand throughout the body. It plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and enhances recovery and growth. When supplemented, it may help body builders reduce muscle deterioration that occurs from glutamine depletion in muscle cells. This formula also contains EFA rich oils, also known as healthy fats. These fats help to preserve muscle mass and immune function during intense training, and encourage the body to use stored fats as energy. Medium Chain Triglycerides offer a great energy source used as fuel by the body, as muscles prefer to use them. CLA is best known as an effective ingredient for reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass. For the human body to perform at its maximum potential, it must be fed a vast and complex array of vital nutrients. IsoMass Xtreme Gainer includes a full-spectrum of vitamins that provide the essentials to promote good health. This formulation is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and trace minerals, which are required for optimal body function. It also provides enhanced support for the immune system and cardiovascular system by supplying a wide range of antioxidants. IsoMass is formulated with a precise blend of time release proteins, complex carbohydrates, 7 types of creatine for muscle growth, 4 types of glutamine for muscle recovery, a complete vitamin premix for added mind/body functions, a healthy blend of 6 essential fatty acids to improve mind and body, a blend of 4 nitric oxide precursors to enhance vasodilation, a creatine precursor complex to increase the body's natural production of creatine, and an enzyme complex to increase absorption. All this can be found in an old-fashioned milk shake taste in any of our gourmet flavors. patented (6,399,661) &amp;amp; registered to BioCeutical Research Development Laboratory (BR&amp;amp;D).&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Horse Power Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/629/title/ultimate-nutrition-horse-power-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:56:49 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/629/title/ultimate-nutrition-horse-power-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_horse_power.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_horse_power.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_horse_power.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;This exciting new formula combines a stack of twenty essential ingredients that work synergistically to increase strength, stamina, recovery and blood-flow-vasodilatation. Horse Power acts to increase Nitric Oxide production in the body for remarkable benefits. Nitric Oxide creates an anabolic environment in your body by increasing blood flow to working muscles to promote muscle growth, dilation of blood vessels, increased strength, and faster muscle recovery. Dilation of the blood vessels helps to increase blood flow to your muscles, bringing with it much-needed nutrients, oxygen and hormones. Athletes will see: * Amazing long-lasting pumps * Increased strength and power output * Improved nutrient transport * Enhanced oxygen delivery * Better glucose uptake * Greater endurance * Faster recovery Ultimate Nutrition's Horse Power contains twenty highly-anabolic cell-volumizing ingredients including 3 types of Creatine, 3 types of Arginine, Betaine HCL, Taurine, and N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine. They work in combination with a potent blend of Beta-Alanine, Glycerol Monostearate, MCT's, Citrulline Ethyl Ester Malate, L-Norvaline, Guanidinopropionic Acid, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, Rutaecarpine, and Glycocyamine. The Kre-Alkalyn / Creatine Ethyl Ester / Tricreatine Malate stack provides an enormously soluble creatine that provides superior bioavailability over regular creatine monohydrate. By combining these three powerful creatines, it creates the ability for creatine to be fully absorbed into the bloodstream; where it is transported to muscle tissue and absorbed inside muscle cells with the highest efficiency. In addition, because Tricreatine Malate is bound to malic acid, it offers greater ATP production. Horse Power includes Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAKG), Arginine Ethyl Ester Dihydrochloride and Arginine Ketoisocaproate that radically boosts Nitric Oxide levels which increases blood flow and provides a constant supply of anabolic nutrients to the muscles far beyond regular L-arginine. In addition, they drastically increase and prolong the production and level of nitric oxide in the body considerably without interfering with the absorption of creatine. Horse Power also includes amino acids crucial to colossal gains. Citrulline Ethyl Ester Malate stimulates energy, boosts the immune system, is metabolized to form L-arginine and as a result regulates Nitric Oxide production, and detoxifies ammonia, which damages living cells. Beta-Alanine directly influences muscle strength by buffering acid build-up in the muscle, which can help prevent muscle loss. It also aids in the volumization effect of creatine, meaning fuller muscles. Taurine improves exercise performance and electrical and contractile properties of skeletal muscle. It expands muscle cells, boosting hydration and resulting in a higher rate of protein synthesis. Horse Power includes the most potent, most stable, and most bioavailable forms of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA) and Glutamine available. R-ALA is the form of Alpha Lipoic Acid that is found naturally occurring within the body and is the most biologically active form of ALA. It has been scientifically shown to be far more effective than S-ALA, the artificial, synthetic byproduct created during the production of ALA. N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine (NAG) is a highly stable and bioavailable form of the highly abundant amino acid, L-Glutamine. It is among the quickest and most efficiently absorbed glutamines, and results in greater recovery, cell-volumization, growth hormone release, protein synthesis, immune function, and anti-catabolic effects. Glycocyamine, the immediate precursor of creatine, not only assists by escalating the bodies own natural production of creatine, but also elevates creatine phosphate storage inside the skeletal muscle, to build bigger, fuller muscles. Glycocyamine, like R-ALA, is a potent insulin-mimicking-agent, with the ability to cause more creatine phosphate storage in skeletal muscles without the use of a &quot;sugar spike&quot;. When you look at this formula as a whole, you'll see why Ultimate Nutrition's Horse Power is receiving rave reviews from our customers. Horse Power drastically increases glycogen storage, Creatine, ATP production and nitrogen retention. The end result is an astonishing increase in muscle fullness, athletic performance, and lean body mass. With twenty ingredients acting to enhance nitric oxide production, you too will rave about the enormous pumps you can achieve from using Horse Power.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Hoodia Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/628/title/ultimate-nutrition-hoodia-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:50:56 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/628/title/ultimate-nutrition-hoodia-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_hoodia.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_hoodia.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_hoodia.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;The Hoodia gordonii plant (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) grows in the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa. Hoodia gordonii grows in clumps of green upright stems. Although it looks like a cactus it is categorized as a succulent. Several species are grown as garden plants, and one species, Hoodia gordonii, has been investigated for use as an appetite suppressant. This impressive plant contains a special substance, which acts on the brain by sending a signal to stop the cravings for food. It has been used for centuries by the San People of the Kalahari to stave off hunger and thirst when they traveled for weeks, months and even years across the vast desert. In 1977, the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) isolated the ingredient in hoodia - now known as P57 - which is responsible for its appetite suppressant effect, and patented it in 1996. In 2002, CSIR officially recognized the San tribes people&amp;iuml;&amp;iquest;&amp;frac12;s rights over Hoodia, allowing them to take a percentage of the profits and any spin-offs resulting from the marketing of Hoodia. Hoodia gordonii is a protected plant which may only be wild-harvested by individuals and the few companies who have been granted a license. It has been established that the P57 molecule found in pure Kalahari Hoodia Gordonii works by mimicking the effect that glucose has on nerve cells in the brain in effect fooling the body into thinking it is full, even when it is not, thus curbing the appetite. It's very different from dietary stimulants like Ephedra that are now banned because of questionable side effects. Hoodia has no stimulant effects at all. On Nov 21, 2003, 60 Minutes aired a report on the effectiveness of the Hoodia gordonii plant as a natural appetite suppressant. Reporter Lesley Stahl tried the plant. Stahl says she had no after effects - no funny taste in her mouth, no queasy stomach, and no racing heart. She also wasn't hungry all day, even when she would normally have a pang around mealtime. And, she also had no desire to eat or drink the entire day. &quot;I'd have to say it did work,&quot; says Stahl. If you haven't heard about the supplement Hoodia gordonii, there's no doubt you will very soon. Hoodia, a natural appetite suppressant, is earning attention as a potentially powerful aid in the focus on losing weight. Hoodia is not some sort of miracle diet pill. You can't just take a few Hoodia every day, eat all you want, and lose weight. However, when taken in combination with a well-balanced diet and regular exercise, Hoodia gordonii can effectively support your goal of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Guggul 700 Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/627/title/ultimate-nutrition-guggul-700-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:27:53 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/627/title/ultimate-nutrition-guggul-700-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_guggul_700.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_guggul_700.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_guggul_700.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;As we all know, it is tough to lose fat. This is not to be confused with &amp;ldquo;weight&amp;rdquo; loss. Anybody who has tried knows that it is much less difficult to lose muscle or water weight. We also know that this is not what we want to lose. The key to healthy weight loss is to reduce fat in the body while protecting our healthy muscle and water levels. Generally, when anybody discusses fat loss, the conversation steers towards caffeine/stimulant based thermogenics, appetite suppressants or diuretics. However, there is another option out there. Guggul, the sticky gum resin from the mukul myrrh tree, plays a major role in Ayurveda, the traditional herbal medicine of India. Guggulsterones are an extract of the herb, commiphora mukul. Research with laboratory animals suggests guggul may help support thyroid function. Thyroid hormones control metabolic rate. When metabolic rate slows down, which sometimes occurs when a person diets, the body burns fewer calories each day. The body senses that you're in a phase of calorie deficiency and it slows/stops the conversion of thyroid hormone T4 into a more active T3 form. T3 plays a role in accelerating metabolism. This leads to the rate at which the body loses fat slowing down. Unlike some weight loss drugs, which boost thyroid hormone levels higher than normal, guggulsterones provide natural stimulation of the thyroid gland. Guggul may change thyroid hormone metabolism, due to the increased conversion of the inactive thyroid hormone T4 into its active part T3 in the liver, increasing levels of circulating T3, a thyroxine metabolite known to raise overall metabolism. What's more, Guggulsterones may also stimulate the thyroid directly by enhancing TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) production. Maintaining a high thyroid output creates a strong thermogenic (fat burning) metabolism. The result is the body burning more calories, and fat loss increasing. Is this some sort of magic pill? Of course not, diet and exercise are an important part to any successful weight loss. Guggul is meant to help reach that goal, by increasing the body&amp;rsquo;s metabolism that may have slowed down from dieting. It is a natural thermogenic alternative to harsher stimulant products.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Glutapure Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/626/title/ultimate-nutrition-glutapure-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:24:05 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/626/title/ultimate-nutrition-glutapure-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_glutapure.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_glutapure.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_glutapure.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;This new product contains 100% of the finest L-Glutamine available on the market today. Essential to maintaining muscle mass and encouraging growth, athletes have praised this product for its effectiveness. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and greater than 20% of total circulating amino acids. Supplemental L-Glutamine may help reduce muscle soreness and rebuild muscle tissue. During stressful situations (i.e. heavy resistive weight training) the body can lose a large amount of glutamine. A loss of glutamine during exercise may be a signal for protein catabolism (muscle breakdown). Glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent the loss of body mass through the positive role glutamine plays in protein synthesis and its action as a potent anabolic agent. When muscle glutamine levels are restored and in a positive nitrogen balance muscle synthesis can return to a normal rate. Glutamine also has actions on glucose metabolism and the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Glutamine converts to glucose without changes in either insulin or glucagen, the hormones that regulate blood sugar. During dieting, and times of carbohydrate depletion, glutamine can exert positive effects on the amount of body fat loss as well as the retention of lean body mass.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Glucosamine Sulfate Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/625/title/ultimate-nutrition-glucosamine-sulfate-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:06:15 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/625/title/ultimate-nutrition-glucosamine-sulfate-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_glucosamine_sulfate.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_glucosamine_sulfate.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_glucosamine_sulfate.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Proteoglycans are specilaized molecules that have a protein at their core with sulfate as side chains. Proteoglycans are essential for healthy cartilage because they attract and hold water, which lubricates and nourishes the cartilage. Therefore, proteoglycans are the &quot;cement&quot; that holds cartilage together. Proteoglycans break down with age. Glucosamine is a building block of proteoglycans. Glucosamine plays an important role in determining how much proteoglycanis produced by the chondrocytes. If sufficient amount of glucosamine is present, water-carrying proteoglycans will be produced and not only the joint will be properly lubricated but it will also receive proper nutrients to keep it healthy. If lesser amounts of glucosamine are present, clearly, the joint will suffer. Numerous published studies demonstrate that glucosamine has beneficial effects on joint cartilage. What is important is that glucosamine is a safe nutrient that is well tolerated and can be taken continuously for longer-term joint support. Frequently Asked Questions How much glucosamine should I take? The amounts of glucosamine used in clinical trails have routinely been three dosages per day of 500 mg. That is, 1500 mg of glucosamine each day is the standard amount, which has proven to be effective in numerous clinical trials. It should be noted, however, that individuals who are taking diuretics may need to increase the dosage to compensate for its reduced effectiveness. Are there any side effects? In clinical trials, glucosamine has been found to have no side effects and it is well tolerated. In animal experiments, the safety of glucosamine has been demonstrated. Can I take it with other medications? As noted above, people on diuretics should increase the dosage. In case of prescribed medications, your primary care physician may be the best source of advice.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition GABA Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/624/title/ultimate-nutrition-gaba-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:00:29 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/624/title/ultimate-nutrition-gaba-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_gaba.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_gaba.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_gaba.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: Gamma-aminobutyric acid, abbreviated as GABA, is an amino acid that is produced in the brain. It is formed by glutamic acid in the body with the help of vitamin B6, and prevents nerve cells from firing too much and, thus, having a claming effect. As such, GABA serves as a neurotransmitter. In the body, GABA is found in large amounts in the hypothalamus suggesting that this amino acid plays a crucial role in the hypothalamic-pituitary function. The hypothalamus is a region on the back of the brain, which regulates the instinctive functions, such as sleep cycles, body temperature and the activity of the pituitary gland. The pituitary is the master endocrine gland that affects all hormonal functions of the body. One primary hormone produced in and secreted by the pituitary is growth hormone, which is of great interest to the athlete. GABA is an excellent substitute for growth hormone or &quot;stacking&quot; with other amino acids and nutrients to give more strength and afford faster recovery after intense exercise. Several clinical studies have shown that ingestion of GABA releases growth hormone, especially after exercise, with remarkable effectiveness. Release of growth hormone increases lean body mass. Consequently, it is an invaluable nutritional supplement for body builders, powerlifters, runners, martial artists, and other athletes of all shades. In addition, because of its calming and soothing effects, GABA also helps maintain healthy blood pressure, helps control hypoglycemia, prevents anxiety and promotes restful sleep. To an extent, it also regulates appetite, which is helpful in maintaining optimal weight. GABA is best taken before going to sleep on a relatively empty stomach. Empty stomach means approximately 45 minutes after the ingestion of the day's last meal. Intake of GABA at bed time makes it work with the body's natural rhythms for increased growth hormone production, which happens roughly 90 minutes after the onset of sleep. The evening intake of GABA correlates with GABA's effect to induce restful and refreshing sleep. Even though the effect of GABA varies from individual to individual, the beneficial effects may be discernible within two weeks, but its full impact may be noticed after six to eight weeks. Thus, GABA packs a great deal of punch in one amino acid that has numerous beneficial effects, and promotes general wellbeing relatively quickly.

This is especially the case for endurance athletes who also need to recover their muscle power quickly after an intense workout and exercise. Muscle contraction and relaxation are driven by energy in the cells provided by the compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Muscles have only a limited supply of ATP, however. The ATP levels are rapidly used up during exercise, particularly in short, intense bursts of anaerobic activity. Many an athletes needs immediate replenishment of energy in the muscle during demanding regimens, such as sprinting and weightlifting. In these situations, the body produces ATP: The energy currency in the cells, which powers muscle movement and control. How much and how efficiently is ATP produced depends upon the amounts of creatine phosphate stored in the cell. Creatine is the biomolecule, which produces ATP. Creatine is indigenous to the human body, and is produced by the liver and stored in the brain, skeletal and heart muscles where it serves as a ready pool to produce ATP. Creatine is the key substance that helps speed up the ATP refueling of the muscle. More creatine in the muscle means greater energy production that allows muscle to work longer and at higher intensity. How does creatine help the muscle perform at higher efficiency and recover faster? Creatine saturates the muscle to convert it into ATP. This conversion takes place in the absence of oxygen and is, therefore, used as an anaerobic pathway for energy. Creatine is, however, more than just an ergogenic nutrient: It has a voluminizing effect on the muscle. Cell voluminizing, or cellular hydration, involves binding of water to the muscle fiber. In turn, this binding gives rise to the &quot;pumped&quot; look. Since water is bound inside the muscle, the athletes using creatine do not have the &quot;puffy&quot; appearance. In other words, the muscle looks larger but, more importantly, has improved strength and has high energy and intensity. That allows the athlete to recover faster and have more energy for each training session. Ultimate Nutrition's Crea Pure is the highest quality micronized creatine that is specifically designed to enhance biovoluminization. Crea Pure is scientifically tested to provide the ready source of energy for the athlete on the go.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition CLA Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/620/title/ultimate-nutrition-cla-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:23:17 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/620/title/ultimate-nutrition-cla-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_cla.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_cla.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_cla.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid - is not a new discovery as some magazines would have you believe.

Activate Heat Shock Proteins Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) are a class of functionally-related proteins whose expression is increased when cells are exposed to elevated temperatures or other stress. Schizandra Chinensis Extract has been suggested in studies to activate the heat shock proteins your body produces. Why should heat shock proteins matter to you? They may increase skeletal muscle function and muscle insulin response. Synthesize Lean Muscle Gains Creatine is one of the most popular ingredients in a fitness athlete or bodybuilders regimens. It has been suggested in clinical studies that creatine can significantly increase lean muscle mass in a short amount of time. If that's not enough, it also plays a role in improving performance in high-intensity exercise, increasing energy levels, and speeding up recovery rates. Minimize Muscular Cell Damage BCAA's are crucial for muscles during workouts. Unlike other amino acids that are metabolized in the liver, BCAA's are metabolized in the muscles, resulting in greater muscle growth. In addition to the 10 grams of BCAA's and BCAA ethyl esters, cellsizer HSP provides 5 grams of 4 types of glutamine per serving which includes the breakthrough L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine. This powerful dipeptide may protect against muscle cellular damage and provides fuel for exercise to help you go the distance. L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is a &quot;Multi-Role&quot; Amino Dipeptide that promotes recovery through: rehydration, muscle synthesis, immune activation, energy refuel, and intestinal protection. Reload Glycogen Levels It is extremely important to reload your glycogen levels after strenuous training. By restoring muscle and liver glycogen stores, you may experience minimal fatigue. Cellsizer HSP&amp;trade; is a Post-workout anabolic that may induce lean muscle gains in as fast as two weeks. This formula is designed to activate heat shock proteins, minimize muscular cell damage, and reload glycogen levels.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Carbo Booster Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/618/title/ultimate-nutrition-carbo-booster-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:12:37 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/618/title/ultimate-nutrition-carbo-booster-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_carbo_booster.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_carbo_booster.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_carbo_booster.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Carbo Booster contains Isomaltulose, a novel slowly digestible sugar sweetener, which can help reduce both the glycemic and insulinemic response in foods and beverages. Isomaltulose is the first slow digestible sugar that, like sucrose, delivers both glucose and fructose but results in a low sugar and low blood insulin response. With a full 70 grams of high quality carbs per serving, Carbo Booster gives you the sustained energy rush you need for the workout of your life! Carbohydrates provide the best and most readily available source of energy for your body during intense training or competition and are vital for keeping your muscles and mind operating at peak performance. Just as recovery and muscle repair are important, carbohydrate intake ensures that event fatigue does not set in. Training and post-exercise nutrition are essential for consistent performance, but to prevent and delay event fatigue carbohydrate replenishment is equally important. Carbohydrate loading helps endurance athletes to avoid &quot;hitting the wall.&quot; For the past two decades, research has confirmed that carbohydrates ingested during exercise can improve endurance performance. During activity lasting longer than 60 minutes glycogen levels begin to diminish and there is a progressive shift from muscle glycogen over to blood glucose as the body's primary fuel source. When muscle glycogen levels are low the consumption of carbohydrates serve to maintain proper levels of blood glucose and delay the onset of fatigue. In addition to this system, carbohydrate intake also exerts its benefits at higher intensities of exercise by delaying and/or preventing muscle glycogen depletion (otherwise known as glycogen sparing). Depending on the chemical composition and the rate of digestion and absorption, carbohydrates differ in their ability to raise blood glucose level. Thus, foods containing the same quantity of carbohydrates can differ markedly in effects on raising the blood glucose level. The glycemic index (GI) concept was introduced as a means of classifying different sources of carbohydrates that are present in the diet. This method was assumed to apply to foods and drinks which primarily deliver available carbohydrates (available refers to completely digestible). Accordingly, low-GI carbohydrates are classified as those which are digested and absorbed slowly and which lead to a low glycemic response, whereas high-GI carbohydrates are rapidly digested and show a high glycemic response. Athletes have been cautioned that eating carbohydrate foods in the hour before exercise may alter exercise metabolism by stimulating insulin production, which in turn increases the rate at which the muscles burn carbohydrate. As a result of this faster rate of carbohydrate oxidation, blood glucose levels may actually fall (a condition known as hypoglycemia) shortly after exercise begins. Many guidelines for athletes now recommend that endurance athletes choose low glycemic carbohydrate foods for their pre-event or pre-training meals. The low-glycemic food does not cause a high rise in insulin, so muscle burns more fat, preserves their stored sugar supply and can be exercised longer. Carbo Booster contains Isomaltulose, a novel slowly digestible sugar sweetener, which can help reduce both the glycemic and insulinemic response in foods and beverages. Isomaltulose is absorbed more slowly and metabolized slower than other sugars, is tooth friendly and well-tolerated without side effects. Isomaltulose is the first slow digestible sugar that, like sucrose, delivers both glucose and fructose but results in a low sugar and low blood insulin response. Frequently Asked Questions Q. How Much Carbohydrates Should Be Consumed? A. Ordinarily, three to five grams of carbohydrate per pound body weight is a reasonable amount to replenish sugars and to hasten the recovery phase and muscle repair. Q. What is Glycogen? A. Carbohydrates are body's most readily available source of nutrient energy. During digestion carbohydrates are converted into glucose, which is used as an immediate source of &quot;fuel.&quot; Glucose that is not directly used to provide energy is transported to the liver and muscle, where it is converted to glycogen. Thus, glycogen is the stored energy, which the body taps into when energy demands are placed on it.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Carb Bloc Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/617/title/ultimate-nutrition-carb-bloc-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:37:18 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/617/title/ultimate-nutrition-carb-bloc-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_carb_bloc.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_carb_bloc.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_carb_bloc.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Carbs have been identified as one of the causes of weight gain or preventing weight loss. These carbs are not easily burned by the body and are stored as fat. Carbohydrates are found in almost any kind of food, even vegetables -- not just bread and pasta. Research has proven that dietary fat is not necessarily converted into body fat. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are readily converted into fat by the action of insulin. When you eat a high-carbohydrate meal, the increased blood sugar stimulates insulin production by the pancreas. Insulin is the hormone that allows blood sugar to be used by the cells. However, a side effect of insulin is that it also causes fat to be deposited, and it stimulates your brain to produce hunger signals. So what do you do? You eat more carbohydrates, and the cycle repeats. Restricting the intake of carbohydrates puts a halt to this vicious cycle. When you restrict your carbohydrate intake, your insulin levels decrease and the levels of glucagon increase. Glucagon is a hormone that causes body fat to be burned. Today, low carb diets are popular among people who want to lose weight fast and bodybuilders. The main philosophy revolves around a condition called &quot;ketosis&quot; -- a state in which fat is primarily used to fuel the body. Ketosis occurs when a person dramatically reduces carbohydrate consumption. Consuming large amounts of carbs raises blood glucose levels, which are balanced out with insulin. But insulin also acts as a storage hormone, which conditions the body to store future carbs as fat in adipose cells in case of starvation. Furthermore, insulin also incites the cells not to release the stored fat. Studies suggest that White Kidney Bean helps reduce the rate at which starch is converted to sugar in the digestive process, thus reducing caloric intake. During the digestive process, your body converts carbohydrates, found in starchy foods such as potatoes and pasta, into sugar. Your body does this by breaking-down the carbohydrate molecule with alpha amylase, an enzyme that is produced in the pancreas. These sugar calories are either burned off, through exercise, or stored as fat cells for future use. Carb Bloc is made with an extract from white kidney beans, which &quot;neutralizes&quot; the digestive enzyme alpha amylase before it can convert starch into glucose and then fat.* Essentially, it allows the carbohydrates to pass through the system possibly with less caloric intake.* Paired with a sensible diet and regular exercise, Carb Bloc allows you to safely trim fat without extreme dieting.* Frequently Asked Questions How should I use Carb Bloc? Two capsules, 15 minutes before meals, as a dietary supplement, along with 8 oz of water. If you take it too long before your meal the effect may wear off by the time you eat. If you take it during or after the meal, the body will start digesting the meal before Carb Bloc has a chance to do any blocking. Don&amp;acute;t forget to drink plenty of water during the day. How does Carb Bloc Work? Carb Bloc contains an ingredient called Phaseolus Vulgaris (white kidney bean extract). This ingredient makes it difficult for the body to release the enzyme responsible and necessary for breaking down starch.* If starch can&amp;acute;t be broken down, it can&amp;acute;t be absorbed by the body. In other words, fewer calories from starch will be absorbed.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Bulgarian Tribulus Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/616/title/ultimate-nutrition-bulgarian-tribulus-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:32:16 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/616/title/ultimate-nutrition-bulgarian-tribulus-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_bulgarian_tribulus.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_bulgarian_tribulus.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_bulgarian_tribulus.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Tribulus Terrestris is a potent natural testosterone enhancer.* Studies suggest that it works very well for supporting a healthy sex drive too!* Tribulus leads to the production of the luteinizing hormone (LH).

The body prefers to use BCAAs for energy, since they readily replace glucose in the energy production pathways. As muscles begin to use BCAAs, the amounts of these amino acids drop, which allows tryptophan to enter the brain, inducing fatigue and tiredness. Research shows that supplementation with branched-chain amino acids can prevent central fatigue by tightly regulating the amount of tryptophan. Supplementation before and during exercise has been shown to help enhance performance. Branched-chain amino acids include leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids are needed for the maintenance of muscle tissue during physical stress and intense exercise. From the perspective of athletes, BCAAs function as anabolic agents and induce sparing, which allows the body to burn fat and not muscle. Nutrient needs often increase faster than calorie needs in athletes. Ultimate Nutrition is committed to providing athletes with the best products to fulfill exactly those needs. Ultimate Nutrition's 100% Crystalline BCAA 12,000 Powder is one product designed to increase endurance, lengthen the time to fatigue and improve performance.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition BCAA Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/612/title/ultimate-nutrition-bcaa-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:14:59 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/612/title/ultimate-nutrition-bcaa-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_bcaa.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_bcaa.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_bcaa.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;One of the challenges in maintaining focus during intense training and physical exercise is mental fatigue. Whereas most athletes worry about and take corrective action to ward against muscle fatigue, mental fatigue must be combated as well. In fact, recent research has placed increasing emphasis on mental fatigue during exercise. This mental fatigue is commonly referred to as central fatigue because of the involvement of the central nervous system. While central fatigue does not affect muscles, it can reduce the capacity to perform optimally. There is a correlation between the amino acid tryptophan in the brain and the degree of mental fatigue. Upon entry into the brain, tryptophan has the ability to &quot;calm&quot; the central nervous system, causing sleep and drowsiness. Normally, there are sufficient amounts of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) circulating in the bloodstream to control the entry of tryptophan into the brain. During long-term and sustained exercise, however, muscles use large amounts of amino acids as a source for energy. The body prefers to use BCAAs for energy, since they readily replace glucose in the energy production pathways. As muscles begin to use BCAAs, the amounts of these amino acids drop, which allows tryptophan to enter the brain, inducing fatigue and tiredness. Research shows that supplementation with branched-chain amino acids can prevent central fatigue by tightly regulating the influx of tryptophan to the brain. Supplementation before and during exercise has been proven to enhance performance. Branched-chain amino acids include leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids are needed for the maintenance of muscle tissue during physical stress and intense exercise. From the perspective of athletes, BCAAs function as anabolic agents and induce sparing, which allows the body to burn fat and not muscle.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/611/title/ultimate-nutrition-arginine-pyroglutamate-lysine-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:11:27 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/611/title/ultimate-nutrition-arginine-pyroglutamate-lysine-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_arginine_pyroglutamate_lysine.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_arginine_pyroglutamate_lysine.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_arginine_pyroglutamate_lysine.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Intense physical activity over longer periods of time can deprive the brain of energy necessary for its function. Taken orally, arginine Pyroglutamate crosses into the brain, since it easily breaches the blood-brain barrier to stimulate energetic processes in the brain and improve cognitive functions. As such, Arginine Pyroglutamate/Lysine is the perfect blend of amino acids that ensures proper nutrition for both the body and the mind. Arginine Pyroglutamate is a substance in which the amino acid arginine is coupled with a Pyroglutamate molecule. Pyroglutamate is a naturally occurring amino acid found in vegetables, fruit, dairy products and meat. There are no side effects. These are amino acids that are normally present in the foodstuffs consumed by people on a daily basis. Of course, any adverse effects depend upon the amount of amino acids taken. If taken in the recommended dosage of one and one-half to two grams of arginine Pyroglutamate and 750 to 1000 milligram of lysine, no side effects should result. Ultimate Nutrition&amp;acute;s Arginine Pyroglutamate/Lysine combines these amino acids in the right amounts ingested over a 24-hour period. It is best taken before bedtime to maximize its beneficial effects.&lt;/p&gt; Ultimate Nutrition Arginine Ornithine Lysine Reviews http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/610/title/ultimate-nutrition-arginine-ornithine-lysine-reviews/cat/122 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:06:59 -0600 <a href="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/610/title/ultimate-nutrition-arginine-ornithine-lysine-reviews/cat/122"><img title="ultimate_nutrition_arginine_ornithine_lysine.png" border="0" src="http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/reviews/data/122/thumbs/ultimate_nutrition_arginine_ornithine_lysine.png" alt="ultimate_nutrition_arginine_ornithine_lysine.png" /></a><br /><br />by: MuSuLPhReAk<br /><br />Description: &lt;p&gt;Arginine, ornithine and lysine are amino acids.
