Description: What Is ZMA and Why You Should Take It. ZMA is a combination of nutrients that are beneficial to the athlete.  Zinc deficiency is common among athletes and compromises athletic performance, immune function, and testosterone levels.  Physical activity also depletes magnesium levels, and a study with magnesium orotate in triathletes found it to significantly improve performance on all three events and reduce cortisol.  A number of possible benefits for athletes from vitamin B6 have been identified, including improved neural function, increased red blood cell count, improved energy utilization, and greater resistance to stress.  ZMA is usually taken before bed and has a reputation for improving sleep quality.

True Supplements L-Carnitine Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:24:24 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: WHAT IS L-CARNITINE? L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which plays a vital role in the metabolism of fat.  It allows the body to become dramatically more efficient at burning fat in such a way that it functions as a transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria, the metabolic furnace of the cell where it is burned and utilized as an energy source rather than accumulating in and on the body. L-carnitine was discovered in Russia, and one year later in Germany. The proper name, Carnitine, refers to the Latin origin, (carno, caris). Its structural formula was decoded in 1927, and its physiological significance was understood by the 1960's.  L-carnitine is synthesized in the liver and kidneys, from two essential amino acids, lysine and methionine. This synthesis requires the presence of vitamins niacin, B6, and iron. Most (98%) of the carnitine supply resides in the body's muscle tissue. Approximately 80% of the amino acids our bodies need is endogenously synthesized, the remaining 20% are referred to as the essential amino acids.  The supply of such aminos, like l-carnitine, must be supplemented exogenously.  L-carnitine is available in the following food sources: red meat, diary products, avocado, and tempeh.  Although a well balanced diet can provide approximately 75% of what the body is lacking, often conditions arise that make it difficult to obtain all the carnitine one needs. It has been established that an adequate supply of l-carnitine is necessary for the maintenance of good health.  L-carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane to be metabolized. L-carnitine aids in the release of stored body fat, tryglycerides, into the bloodstream for energy.  Tryglycerides are the major source for the production of energy in the heart and skeletal muscles.  Access to l-carnitine is believed to increase energy levels for long-term aerobic activity.  L-carnitine is also responsible for muscle contraction, regulation of protein balance and maintenance of a healthy heart.  Research also suggests that an adequate supply of l-carnitine could be instrumental in the treatment of diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, kidney and liver disease.  Since its involvement in the process of burning fats is of most importance to those interested in endurance and body fitness, it is this topic that will be focused upon. THE ROLE OF L-CARNITINE: HOW DOES IT WORK? Carnitine boosts energy by stimulating the body's burning of tryglycerides as fuel, and sparing the supply of glycogen stored in the liver for heavier exertion. During exercise, the body will burn fat at a rate of 75-80% of maximum exertion, thus less glycogen from carbohydrates is burned.  L-carnitine allows the body to burn more fat, save more glycogen, and ultimately boost stamina and endurance.  By providing more fat to the muscles, carnitine makes accessible an otherwise unavailable energy source. FAT + OXYGEN + L-CARNITINE = ENERGY Is this the recipe for success? According to proponents of L-Carnitine, it is the essential amino acid in the optimum fat burning process. They believe that carnitine is to the human body, what a turbo mechanism is to a car: both provide optimal fuel and performance. Minus L-carnitine, fatty acids would have a difficult time permeating the walls of the mitochondria. Energy, stored in carbohydrates and fats, is required to work the muscle. Carbohydrates are converted from glucose to glycogen, to be stored in liver and muscle cells. Eventually, the body turns to fat storage for energy, and possibly, with more ease in the presence of L-carnitine. This is where L-carnitine as a supplement enters. During high energy output, the supply of L-carnitine becomes exhausted. Is it possible to compensate for this decrease solely through metabolic processes and diet? Or is an additional carnitine supplement needed for the extra boost? Judging from the variety of carnitine products now on the market, apparently many believe an additional outside source proves beneficial. Is L-carnitine a safe and effective means of enhancing fat metabolism? The evidence presented here reports no harmful side effects. Product reports contest that l-carnitine works by transporting fatty acids to be burned for fuel, increasing both energy supply and lean muscle mass. Studies show a more skeptical look at the product. Most found that unless an individual is deficient in l-carnitine, it is an unnecessary ergogenic aid. I conclude that as with other vitamins, minerals and medications, L-carnitine is as effective as the consumer's belief in the product. How should carnitine be taken? The typical dosage for carnitine is 1-4 g/day.  A study on the pharmacokinetics of oral L-carnitine in human subjects found no differences in plasma carnitine after 2 g vs. 6 g, indicating that 2 g is already more than the saturable dose.  The half-life of the 2 gram dose was 6.5 hours, and this would imply that the ideal dosing schedule would be 1-2 grams 2-3 times daily, although many studies indicate beneficial effects with only .5-1.5 grams  2-3 times daily. L-CARNITINE + CAFFEINE AND WHY IT'S SO EFFECTIVE IN BURNING FAT The following article was writen by:  Jim Stoppani, PhD * L-carnitine The most critical step in peeling away that layer of fat over your abs is transporting that fat to a place where it'll be burned off. That "place" would be microscopic machinery in cells called mitochondria. But fat requires the help of carnitine to get into the mitochondria. Before a workout is one of the best times to take carnitine, as research shows it can increase fat burning during exercise by almost 25%. This helps to also delay muscle fatigue, as with more fat being burned, muscle glycogen and other fuel sources are spared. * Caffeine works on the fat loss equation from the other side--prompting more fat to leave the fat cells that blur your abs. Once the fat exits the fat cells and enters the bloodstream, it travels to muscle cells. Inside the muscle cells, carnitine carries the fat into the mitochondria, where it gets burned as fuel. In addition, caffeine mimics a molecule called adenosine; when adenosine binds to its specific receptors in the central nervous system, it makes you tired. Caffeine binds to adenosine receptors instead, thus blocking this fatigue effect. Adenosine receptors are also located on fat cells--when adenosine binds to its receptors on fat cells, it prevents fats from leaving. By binding to these fat-cell receptors instead, caffeine allows fat to leave the cells and get burned. Thus, taking caffeine with carnitine enhances the overall fat-burning effect. In fact, Korean scientists found that when trained athletes took carnitine and caffeine together before exercise, they burned more fat and lasted longer until fatigue than when carnitine or caffeine were taken alone. * Stack it like this about one hour before workouts, take about 1.5 3 grams of carnitine (in the form of L-carnitine, acetyl-L-carntine, propionyl-L-carnitine, or L-carnitine L-tartrate) along with 200-400 milligrams of caffeine in the form of caffeine anhydrous. Do not grab a coffee for your preworkout caffeine kick. --Jim Stoppani, PhD

True Supplements Hoodia Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:23:10 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: What is Hoodia? 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 pain, 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’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. "I’d have to say it did work," 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. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. What is Hoodia Gordonii? Hoodia is a succulent plant found in the Kalahari desert of South Africa. The genus encompasses a number of varieties of plant of which Hoodia Gordonii is one species.  Hoodia plants are succulents, not cacti, although they do have a spiny appearance similar to cacti. 2. How long does it take for Hoodia Gordonii to have an effect? Some people report that Hoodia works for them immediately, suppressing appetite within 20 to 30 minutes after taking the capsules.  Hoodia will suppress your appetite for around 4-6 hours.  While some people will notice appetite suppression within the first few days of using Hoodia, for other people the body needs more time to build up the active ingredients in Hoodia.  Generally people typically need up to two weeks of regularly taking Hoodia before they begin to notice the effects, which include:  A reduced interest in food, a delay in the time after eating before hunger sets in again, and feeling full more quickly. 3. Does Hoodia Gordonii have any side effects? Hoodia Gordonii is not a stimulant, and has no known side effects. Of course, there is always someone who has a reaction to even the safest supplement, so your own experience -- in conjunction with the advice of your practitioner -- should guide you.

True Supplements 5-HTP Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:21:44 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: What is 5-HTP? 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the transitional step between tryptophan and the essential brain chemical serotonin.  There is a very large amount of evidence that suggests that low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living.  The lifestyle and dietary practices of many people living in the modern world today results in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain.  As a result, many people are overweight, crave sugar and carbohydrates, experience depression, frequent headaches, and experience muscle aches and pain.  All of these symptoms are correctable by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. What it can do for you! Weight Loss:  When there is decreased activity of the enzyme that converts tryptophan to 5-HTP and subsequently to serotonin, studies show that this condition may cause a disruption in the brain’s ability to stop eating until the person has consumed far greater amounts of food than normal usual. Migraine:  Some research indicates that 5-HTP may prevent migraines and reduce the frequency and severity of your migraines. Depression:  Several clinical trials have found that 5-HTP is as effective as antidepressants. Fibromyalgia:  Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by fatigue, widespread pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons, and multiple tender points which has been shown to be alleviated with the treatment of 5-HTP. Insomnia:  Serotonin is converted into melatonin, a hormone need to regulate sleep-wake cycles.   Because serotonin is considered to increase melatonin levels, 5-HTP may be used as a sleep aid. What is the best way to take 5-HTP? For depression, weight loss, headaches, and fibromyalgia dosages should start at 50 mg three times per day.  If after 2 weeks the results are minimal, increase the dosage to 100 mg three times per day.  This recommendation will greatly reduce the mild symptoms of nausea often experienced during the first few weeks of 5-HTP therapy. Because 5-HTP does not rely on the same transport vehicle as L-tryptophan, it can also be taken with food.  However, if you are taking 5-HTP for weight loss it should be taken 20 minutes before meals.

True Supplements Micellar Casein Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:20:58 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Why our Micellar Casein is superior to other brands Micellar Casein is the natural, undenatured form of casein found in milk.  Separated from milk by way of ultrafiltration leaves the Micellar protein high in bioactive milk peptides that help support the immune system, as well as enhance muscle growth. Our Micellar Casein is of highest quality!  Be cautious of cheaper versions of this product as some companies will try and sell you Milk Protein Isolate or Calcium Casein which are lesser forms of caseins. Micellar Casein is the king of the slow digesting/slow release proteins.  It has been noted as an excellent anti-catabolic protein, making it a prefect protein to use right before bedtime and/or throughout the day as a meal replacement or inbetween meals to allow your body to stay anti-catabolic all day long which is imperative to building muscle mass or while trying to maintain muscle mass especially while dieting. Micellar Casein is also a great meal replacement since it's ability to digest very slowly, thus creating a feeling of fullness for a longer period of time than even some solid meals.  Mixing oats in with your Micellar Casein shake is also another great, quick, and healthy meal replacement shake without all the added sugar and fat of traditional meal replacement shakes. The ability of this protein to form a "gel" in the gut slows down its digestion allowing for a steady release of amino acids for up to 7 full hours after ingestion.

Fish oil is natures best source of EPA and DHA Less than 10% of flax omega-3s get converted to EPA and DHA

True Supplements Kre-alkalyn Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:10:38 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Kre-Alkalyn is "buffered" creatine that does not convert into creatinine prior to reaching skeletal muscle tissue.    How It Works The research behind Kre-Alkalyn proves that creatine's speed of conversion or breakdown into creatinine (a mostly useless byproduct) is directly related to its pH "the lower the pH, the faster it converts. Furthermore, the conversion rates slow dramatically as the pH of the creatine is raised above 7...and stops completely above pH 12. Here's why... A pH level above 12 represents the perfect ratio of Hydrogen ions to Hydroxyl ions to stop the chemical reaction of: Creatine + H20 = Creatinine. The buffering agents in Kre-Alkalyn effectively "mop up" the excess Hydrogen ions and prevent them from lowering pH.  In other words, it gives creatine the ability to resist changes in pH that it normally doesn't have. This protects the creatine molecules during transport...delivering them intact to the bloodstream so they can reach your muscle cells with 100% potency. Kre-Alkalyn is the only creatine product in the world with a pH above 12 because its molecules are chemically bonded to "buffering" agents. Kre-Alkalyn also covers all pH levels from 7-14.  Therefore, the pH of all other creatine products must be pH 6.9 or less (they aren't buffered and cannot resist changes in pH) meaning they will convert to creatinine and lose potency in liquids. When bodybuilders don't get the results they want from creatine, this is what they do... they "Make The Switch" to Kre-Alkalyn. So what about you? Are you ready to put an end to side effects and poor results from "old school" creatine technology? Wouldn't you like to "Get The Body Without The Bloat"? Kre-Alkalyn creatine just makes sense. Look at all the advantages... <ul type="disc"> <li>Get all the benefits of creatine without the downside</li> <li>Cutting-edge multi-patented technology</li> <li>No side-effects</li> <li>No loading</li> <li>Use just 1.5-3 grams per day</li> </ul>

True Supplements Waxy Maize Starch Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:09:08 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: What is Waxy Maize Starch? Waxy Maize Starch is a complex, long-chain, super-high molecular weight, sugar and lactose free carbohydrate. Many athletes feel WMS restores glycogen levels faster than dextrose, thus super-hydrating the muscle cells in record time. Taken immediately post workout as an insulin-boosting carbohydrate source, it is recommended to be taken along with a fast acting protein source and other eugenic aids, such as creatine, glutamine and leucine. Waxy Maize Starch has a much higher molecular weight than dextrose and maltodextrin so therefore passes through the stomach much faster, thus eliminating the risk of stomach discomfort; so there is no stomach cramping and no bloated feeling. Since Waxy Maize Starch is absorbed so rapidly it can easily be consumed directly before or even during workouts without upsetting your stomach! Waxy Maize Starch acts like a pump, pulling the nutrients along with water into the muscle and at the correct speed and osmolality for your body to fully utilize. How should use this supplement to formulate my Post Workout Shake? Weight and training intensity are two factors that play a role regarding your post workout shake.  Most sources suggest 0.25 per pound of lean body mass for cutting and 0.50 per pound of lean body mass for individuals wishing to increase body mass. Protein should be in a ratio of 2 to 1, so if you have a lean body mass of 170 lb, this would mean 42 grams of carbs and 21 grams of protein if you are cutting, and 85 grams of carbs and 43 grams of protein if you are in a mass gaining cycle.  This should be ingested within 30 minutes of training.

True Supplements Maltodextrin Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:08:09 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: What is Maltodextrin? Maltodextrin is produced from corn starch and is easily digestible. The name 'Maltodextrin' refers to Dextrose polymers of varying lengths. However, unlike Dextrose, Maltodextrin is not very sweet. Maltodextrin is a fine white powder with a bland taste and contains virtually no fat or protein and is a great source of energy. Although technically a complex carbohydrate, Maltodextrin results in a glycemic response similar to that of Dextrose. How should I take this supplement? Dextrose can be consumed before, during and after intense exercise for the best results in. How should use this supplement to formulate my Post Workout Shake? Weight and training intensity are two factors that play a role regarding your post workout shake.  Most sources suggest 0.25 per pound of lean body mass for cutting and 0.50 per pound of lean body mass for individuals wishing to increase body mass. Protein should be in a ratio of 2 to 1, so if you have a lean body mass of 170 lb, this would mean 42 grams of carbs and 21 grams of protein if you are cutting, and 85 grams of carbs and 43 grams of protein if you are in a mass gaining cycle.  This should be ingested within 30 minutes of training. Or, Many athletes use dextrose and maltodextrin at a 1:1 ratio.  For example: using the example above you would use 21 grams of dextrose, 21 grams of maltodextrin, and 21 grams of protein in your post workout shake.

True Supplements Creatine Monohydrate Reviews

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: What Is Creatine Monohyrate? For many years, Creatine has been lauded as one of the best diet supplements for any athlete who wants to increase performance in or out the gym. Thanks to creatine's ability to produce ATP, which is a metabolite responsible for producing powerful muscle contractions, creatine is able to dramatically increase strength, power, muscle mass, and stamina.    Creatine Monohydrate also causes the muscles to absorb water from the surrounding tissues, and creates an immediate effect of larger muscle bulk, although this is a short term effect. A useful benefit of Creatine Monohydrate is that it is easily broken down into ATP, the most useful fuel for exercise. ATP is required by the muscles in order to contract effectively. ATP is stored in the cells, and used on demand.  Our Creatine is micronized to a 200 mesh and is 99.96% PURE! How Should I Take This Supplement? If you wish to use a loading phase, take 5g of material before exercise and 5g of material after exercise along with a carbohydrate source (see below) for the first 5-7 days of use. On the 8th day, take 5g of material after exercise along with a carbohydrate source (see below).  If you wish to cycle this supplement we recommend cycling off every 12 weeks. Note: Creatine monohydrate should always be taken with some type of high glycemic carb for optimal absorption.  We recommend supplementing with our Dextrose as these two products together make a great creatine transport system.

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: What are BCAA's? Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. They are considered to be essential amino acids because humans could not survive unless they were present in their diet. BCAAs are required to maintain muscle tissue and are extremely helpful in preventing muscle tissue breakdown during training and dieting. What are the key benefits? - Maintains muscle tissue - Very anabolic - Essential to body tissue growth Unlike other amino acids BCAAs are not metabolised in the stomach and are instead metabolised directly in the muscle. This unique quality means that they are very anabolic (they build muscle) and very anti-catabolic (they stop muscle breakdown). These unique amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) cannot be synthesised by your body so they are essential to your growth. What are the ingredients? The ratio of our BCAA is 2:1:1 (Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine).

True Supplements Acetyl L-carnitine Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:44:25 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: What is Acetyl L-carnitine? Acetyl L-carnitine (ALCAR) is derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It is found in highest levels in tissues that use fatty acids as their main fuel; such as the skeletal and cardiac muscles. What are the key benfits? Acetyl L-carnitine have backed claims of anti-aging and nutrient regenerating properties. The effects of supplementing with them have been extensively researched in many areas including exercise performance, treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, diabetic depression and many other neurological disorders.  Furthermore, Acetyl L-carnitine is necessary for the proper movement and transportation of fat molecules into the mitochondria where they are used for oxidation (fat burning), thus rendering Acetyl L-carnitine as an actual "fat burner".  How should I take this supplement? We recommend consuming 500 mg (0.5g) 3 to 4 times daily and for best results take 1.5 - 3 grams approximately 30-60 minutes prior to a workout along with 200 - 400 milligrams of caffeine in the form of caffeine anhydrous.
