True Protein Amylocel (Waxy Maize Starch) Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:42:18 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Waxy Maize Starch is derived from natural corn starch and is a food grade modified starch. It is very bland in flavor and has a white fluffy like consistency. We recommend using a shaker cup or a blender (this is best) to mix this product. Immediate use is recommended as it has a tendency to clump. We have gone through great lengths testing and tweaking our Waxy Maize Starch to be palatable. We have found one that tastes fairly well and functionality wise it is top of the line. So what’s so special with Waxy Maize in comparison to dextrose or maltodextrin? Many people have used a mix of dextrose and maltodextrin for post workout nutrition for years because it works and is vital for proper glycogen replenishment. Welcome to the new era of post workout nutrition… Waxy Maize Starch. WMS has a much higher molecular weight and a much lower osmolarity rate compared to dextrose or maltodextrin, so what does this mean… Mainly, WMS bypasses the stomach, is absorbed by the intestines and immediately is assimilated; this is all done at a much faster rate than dextrose or maltodextrin, almost double. WMS can help the absorption rates of many of your favorite supplements like creatine monohydrate, creatine ethyl ester, cell volumization and nitric oxide type supplements, etc. Nutrients like this often times are left in the stomachs harsh acidic environment and degrade absorption rates. WMS helps shuttle these nutrients to bypass the stomach and allow the body to assimilate these nutrients at a much higher rate. WMS has the ability to replenish the body’s glycogen stores much faster than a mix of maltodextrin or dextrose. This is accomplished again by WMS’s ability to bypass the stomach and go to the intestines for immediate absorption. WMS’s ability to shuttle all these nutrients and starch gives the body an immediate "pump" you can physically feel in your muscles post workout. You will see a much larger, fuller and rounder muscle belly. Dextrose and maltodextrin can cause water retention and bloating, hence WMS’s popularity with pre contest and contest preparation carbohydrate replenishment. Many dieters choose WMS as their carb of choice as it is sugar free and an ideal source of a long chain complex carbohydrate. We recommend starting with one 70 cc scoop post workout and see how your body responds.

True Protein Whole Egg Protein Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:39:18 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Whole Egg Protein possesses many of the same attributes as our Egg White Protein.  The process in which it is derived is from chicken whole eggs, which is then converted into a powder form.  This product is great for the individual who is ectomorphic in general or is looking to get extra calories.  The extra calories and fat allow the user to obtain both protein and fat within one mix.  Whole Egg Protein provides an excellent combination and profile of amino acids. Whole Egg Protein also possesses a high level of sulfur which is essential to various hormonal pathways within the body.  This increased production of anabolic hormones and increased calories leads to increased muscle mass.   We recommend you mix Whole Egg Protein within your custom mix if you are looking for extra calories or fat.  It possesses a bland/egg/semi-salty taste, is fairly economical for calorie content, and makes a custom mixture very well rounded.  Whole Egg Protein has somewhat of thicker mouth feel to it, and easy mixes with a shaker cup or blender.

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: It has been a long time coming, but True Protein is proud to present you with a new, high quality whey protein isolate at a price that is absolutely UNBEATABLE!! This material easily stands up to any of the other whey protein isolates currently on the market, and will get you the best results possible for your money. The Whey Protein Isolate Ultra-Filtration uses a combination of cross-flow and cold-filtration for the cleanest and best mixing results with no denaturation.

True Protein Whey Protein Isolate Microfiltrated Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:37:25 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Whey Protein Isolate Microfiltration is derived from whey protein concentrate, but ultimately from sweet dairy whey.  Isolates, Microfiltration Cold-Filtration and Ion-Exchange, are protein powders that are the next steps to further process whey protein concentrate.  The  Microfiltration process is a procedure of separating the proteins through the use of filters.  These filters allow the protein to be removed from the unwanted fat, lactose and the like.  Microfiltration Isolate is virtually fat free and lactose (sugar) free.    True Protein carries 3 different types of Whey Protein Isolates, Ion-Exchange , Cold-Filtration and Mircofiltration.  Ion-Exchange uses electrical charge and chemicals to extract the protein, but Mircofiltration uses a more natural way of extracting protein through filters.  Microfiltration Isolates are left with more calcium and give the user the highest level of undenatured protein available.  The extraction process leaves the final product almost all protein, around 92% protein.   Whey Protein Isolate Microfiltration is a great whey protein for users who experience bloating and other problems associated with whey protein concentrate.  As well, users who want a higher protein percentage per product, an Isolate is a great choice.    Whey Protein Microfiltration possesses an extremely clean taste.  This product alone is opaque in nature (almost clear) and does not have any distinct flavor.  Great for the individual that dislikes the taste of “protein powders.

True Protein Whey Protein Isolate Ion-Exchange Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:36:13 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Whey Protein Isolate Ion-Exchange is derived from whey protein concentrate, but ultimately from sweet dairy whey.  Isolates, Microfiltration Cold-Filtration and Ion-Exchange, are protein powders that are the next steps to further process whey protein concentrate.  The Ion-Exchange process is a procedure of separating the proteins through their specific electrical charge.  Chemical reagents allow the electric charge of the protein to be controlled and then extracted.  Ion-Exchange Isolate is virtually fat free and lactose (sugar) free.  The extraction process leaves the final product almost all protein, around 96% protein. Whey Protein Isolate Ion-Exchange is a great whey protein for users who experience bloating and other problems associated with whey protein concentrate.  As well, users who want a higher protein percentage per product, an Isolate is a great choice.

True Protein Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:35:07 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is derived from whey protein concentrate, but ultimately from sweet dairy whey.  Isolates, Cold-Filtration, Microfiltration and Ion-Exchange, are protein powders that are the next steps to further process whey protein concentrate.  The Cold-Filtration process is a procedure of separating the proteins through the use of micro filtering the mass all while using a cold or “chilled” process (environment).  These filters allow the protein to be removed from the unwanted fat, lactose and the like.  Cold-Filtration Isolate is virtually fat free and lactose (sugar) free.    So what is the difference between Cold-Filtration and <a href="https://www.trueprotein.com/Product_Details.aspx?cid=22&pid=67">Microfiltration</a>?  They both use the same extraction process of filtering, but the Cold-Filtration is just that, the liquid mass is chilled and then filtered.  As well the mass is then sprayed dried in a non heat environment to preserve the undenatured proteins.   Using the Cold-Filtration method, the overall protein is said to only be 0-3% denatured, in comparison to other proteins that can be denatured up to 15%.  Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is very high in bioactive whey protein fractions, including immunoglobulin, lactoferrin and glycomacropeptides.   Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is a great whey protein for users who experience bloating and other problems associated with whey protein concentrate.  As well, users who want a higher protein percentage per product, an Isolate is a great choice.    Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration possesses an extremely clean taste.  This product alone is opaque in nature (almost clear) and does not have any distinct flavor.  Great for the individual that dislikes the taste of “protein powders.

True Protein Whey Protein Isolate (CFM) Cross-Flow Microfiltration Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:33:14 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Whey Protein Isolate Cross-Flow Microfiltration (CFM) is an instantized whey protein isolate extracted from sweet dairy whey. Proprietary membrane techniques are used to yield a highly pure, nutritionally superior and undenatured isolate. Whey Protein Isolate CFM goes through an instantizing process that allows it to disperse easily in beverages and solutions. Its low flavor profile, high protein content, and low lactose and fat levels make it the protein of choice for many beverage applications.

True Protein Whey Protein Concentrate Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:32:10 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s whey protein concentrate is derived from sweet dairy whey (milk).  The process is through a filtering process in which fat, lactose, carbohydrates and other materials are removed from the final product.  Whey Protein Concentrate can be sourced at 35% to 80% protein per final product.  We at True Protein only offer Whey Protein Concentrate at its highest ratio, 77-80%.    Whey Protein Concentrate is considered the most economical choice when buying a protein powder.  Whey protein in general is known for its extremely quick and fast digestion, it is great for post workout shakes as well as anytime you need a quick burst of amino acids.  Though, an excellent source of BCAA’s, assimilation and digestion through the intestines is lessened because of remaining products left in the filtering process.  Fat, lactose and the like, leave some users bloated and gaseous.   Whey Protein Concentrate possesses a very bland flavor.  The mouth texture is very smooth and is easily mixed in a shaker cup or blender.  Since this is an instantized protein, it mixes easily with a spoon as well.

True Protein Soy Protein Isolate non-GMO Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:29:31 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Soy Protein Isolate is derived from defatted soybean flakes, but ultimately from non containing genetically modified organisms (non-GMO) soy beans.  Soy Protein Isolate is extracted through a process of mixing soybean flakes with water or a mild alkali in a pH range of 8.5.  The protein is then processed through precipitation to create a curd, then it is washed and spray-dryed to yield the isolate.  This process leaves the end isolate very high in protein, around 90%.   Recently Soy Protein Isolate has been in the media spot light, due to clashing opinions about is qualities and benefits.  Through research, we at True Protein feel that Soy Protein Isolate has its place in the fitness arena.  Soy Protein Isolate one of only a few proteins derived from a non-animal based source.  This is very important for our vegetarian customers who greatly need a complete protein, but are not willing to use one from an animal source.  Our Soy Isolate is also non-GMO, meaning the soybean where never genetically changed or altered, many experts believe non-GMO soy beans make food better tasting, and more nutritious.   Soy Protein Isolate also has many unique characteristics.  Studies have shown that a diet including soy products greatly reduces the chance of heart disease.  Soy Protein Isolate also contains high levels of isoflavones, which have been found to have anti-estrogenic properties, which are very important to active men and women.   We recommend you mix Soy Protein Isolate within many of your custom mixes.  It possesses a fairly bland/earthy taste, is very economical, and makes a custom mixture very well rounded for various benefit reasons.  Soy Protein Isolate is fairly thick and mixes easily with a shaker or blender.

True Protein PeptoPro (Hydrolyzed Caseinate) Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:23:24 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: A recovery drink with fast peptides which is clear, stable and delicious?! Until recently, an impossibility. But now there is PeptoPro®, the ready-to-use DSM solution for your recovery drinks. Protein drinks Carbohydrates and fats are the only fuel the body needs. On the other hand, proteins supply energy and the building blocks for e.g. muscles, tissue and cell membranes. That is why they are used so much by sportspeople. Up to now they have had to content themselves with an unpalatable suspension of protein powder in water. To make protein clearly water soluble, it has to be hydrolysed. The resulting peptides are, however, often extremely bitter. Also, solutions of amino acids are no option because they are very reactive and unstable in solution and in addition are forbidden in the EU. Natural food protein is too big to be absorbed by the human gut. Our body has to digest the protein by breaking it down into smaller pieces which can be absorbed. Only single amino acids, and di- and tri-peptides can be directly absorbed in our intestinal tract via specific peptide importers. PeptoPro® contains 70-80% small di- and tri-peptides which are directly absorbed with digestion. Di- and tripeptides With its patented technology PeptoPro® is very rich in small di- and tri-peptides. These score better on all fronts: <ul> <li>very easily soluble in water </li> <li>stable, even in an acidic environment </li> <li>no bitter taste </li> <li>hypoallergenic </li> <li>permitted in all countries </li> <li>fast and total absorption by the body </li> <li>stimulates the release of insulin </li> </ul> New class PeptoPro® ushers in a new drinks category onto the sports drinks and soft drinks market. Normal sports drinks covered only three of the four elements: water for rehydration, glucose and/or electrolytes. PeptoPro® now finally adds protein in dissolvable form. Active peptides, which together with carbohydrates raise the concentration of insulin and supply the building blocks required for muscle recovery. The result: faster muscle refuelling and energy recovery. Comparison of protein sources Proteins can be obtained from food such as meat and fish, soya, wheat, peas, potatoes and rice. 80% of the milk protein consists of casein, which settles when the milk is acidified. The remaining liquid contains whey proteins, which are water soluble (but not clear). Here are the different sources of protein supplements with their advantages and drawbacks: <ul> <li>Whey protein. Milk proteins like whey or casein sometimes cause  cow-milk allergies, and whey protein in higher doses can lead to digestive problems like flatulence and diarrhoea. The solution of whey protein in water is not clear unless the big proteins have been strained off or partially hydrolysed. Some people have problems in digesting complete whey protein. </li> <li>Intact proteins are not easily digested and are therefore not usable during or before sports activities. Also, they do not increase the insulin level during the recovery phase. </li> <li>Amino acids did not obtain GRAS classification (Generally Recognised As Safe) in the US and are not allowed for use in food production in Europe. They are unstable in drinks and react with sugar (so-called Maillard reaction). And finally, they raise the osmolality of the drinks, which leads to poorer sugar, water and mineral absorption. </li> <li>Peptides obtained by ‘classic’ hydrolysis are extremely bitter, are absorbed slower, and can cause some allergic reactions and have no or only a low effect on raising the insulin level after exercise </li> <li>The di- and tripeptides in PeptoPro® are completely water soluble. They form a clear and stable solution, which is not bitter. They are quickly absorbed by the body and stimulate insulin production. They are hypoallergenic, and were thoroughly tested during the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. </li> <li>Country of Origin: Sweden.</li> </ul>

True Protein Milk Protein Isolate Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:19:28 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Milk Protein Isolate is derived from both casein and whey products from fresh skim milk.  The process of extraction is through an ultra filtration process that leaves the end product and Isolate.  Since both casein and whey are used in the processing, Milk Protein Isolate possesses a high nutritional value.  This is a great product for individuals that are lactose intolerant, Milk Protein Isolate is nearly lactose free.   Though Milk Protein Isolate is not used widely as separate whey and casein proteins, individuals will love the results they get from this clean and fresh tasting product.  Milk Protein Isolate provides the user with a quick burst of amino acids (whey) as well as a longer lasting, slow digesting protein (casein).  Users with find this product possesses a great combination of anabolic and anticatabolic properties.   Milk Protein Isolate possesses a fairly bland flavor.  The mouth texture is fairly smooth but with all casein type proteins, they do possess a somewhat chalky mouth feel.  Casein type proteins in general also have a much thicker consistancy than a whey might have, so mixing quantites should be less.  They also can be easily mixed in a shaker cup or blender.

True Protein Instantized Micellar Casein Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:17:11 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein is happy to announce that there has been a huge development in regards to our Micellar Casein.  The high quality product you have come to know and love is now better than ever: the Micellar Casein is now being Instantized!!  What does this mean to our customers?  Increased taste, increased mixibility, simply the highest quality Micellar Casein material available on the market. Micellar Casein is derived from milk protein isolate.  The process of extraction is a natural and gental removal of all whey protein peptides, which leaves you with a pure Micellar Casein.  Micellar Casein is a newer protein product, the process of manufacturing is only a few years old.  You will not see many big name manufacturers using this product, mainly because it hurts their bottom line (too expensive).  This protein powder can be considered the best of the best and the purest when coming to caseinate proteins.   Micellar Casein is completely undenatured and is chock full of sub-fractions and growth factors.  This is great for overall muscle tissue repair and helps greatly in recovery.  Since Micellar Casein is a caseinate, absorption is slower than whey products, therefore this is a great protein that has anti-catabolic properties as well.   Micellar Casein possesses a bland taste, but with all casein type proteins, they do possess a somewhat chalky mouth feel.  Casein type proteins in general also have a much thicker consistancy than a whey might have, so mixing quantities should be less. Micellar Casein is an instantized protein so it can easily be mixed in a shaker cup or blender.

True Protein Hydrolyzed Whey Protein High Grade Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:12:55 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Hydrolyzed Whey Protein High Grade is derived from sweet dairy whey.  Hydrolyzed Whey is enzymatically partially digested protein.  This hydrolyzing process splits proteins in to smaller chain peptides and amino acids, di and tri peptides.  This in turn makes the end product more biologically accessible to the user.  Hydrolyzed whey is the most digestible source of whey protein.  This process of hydrolysis allows the protein to be absorbed quickly through the small intestine.  More than half (up to 80%) of the protein ingested bypasses the stomach and is absorbed into the small intestine, allowing the greatest potential for lean muscle tissue.  Studies have also shown that hydrolyzed proteins with short chain amino acids (di and tri peptides) can increase IGF-1.   Our Hydrolyzed Whey Protein possesses a very bitter taste; basically the more the protein is digested or hydrolyzed the more bitter it becomes.  We at True Protein recommend not going over 25% Hydrolyzed Whey Protein High Grade in the Custom Mix Generator available on the site.    Warning with our High Grade, this protein possesses a very bitter taste, that is definitely not for the faint at heart.  You may want to order this separately to gauge how much you are effected by the taste. But remember, the benefits far out way the 2 minutes of the bad taste in your mouth.

True Protein Hydrolyzed Whey Isolate Ultra Grade Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:11:53 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Hydrolyzed whey isolate ultra grade has very little bitterness and is lighter than our hydrolyzed whey high grade in color, though it is an isolate and is agglomerated it does tend to clump a bit during mixing.  We recommend blending this product, and adding the powder slowly to fully disperse the material for no clumps.  Or using this in a mix along with other protein, this also helps the protein not clump.

True Protein Hydrolyzed Casein Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:10:48 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Hydrolyzed Casein is derived from fresh skim milk. Hydrolyzed Casein is processed and extracted from casein protein, which is then specially prepared into an enzymatic hydrolysate.  This process provides the user with a rich source of short chain peptides and amino acids.                                              Though Casein and Caseinate proteins are known for their slow digestion, Hydrolyzed Casein is still assimilated by the body very quickly.  Since it is a hydrostat the proteins are partially digested, up to 80% of the proteins bypass the stomach and are absorbed directly through the small intestine.    Studies have shown that Hydrolyzed Casein might be the best protein for building muscle and preventing catabolism (muscle breakdown).  Studies have also shown that hydrolyzed proteins with short chain amino acids (di and tri peptides) can increase IGF-1.   Hydrolyzed Casein is a great product, but again like many of our other hydrolyzed proteins, this product is extremely bitter.  When custom mixing your own blends, keep Hydrolyzed Casein below 25% for a good tasting product. We recommend you order your Hydrolyzed Casein separate to see how much the bitterness affects you.

True Protein Egg White Protein Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:06:33 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Egg White Protein is derived from chicken egg whites.  It is processed by removing the yolk and then converting the egg white product in powdered form.  Many individuals love this product because it allows them to intake more eggs than their body usually allows.  Egg White protein gauges very high on the protein efficiency rating (P.E.R) a 3.9 out of 4.0.   Egg White Protein provides an excellent combination and profile of amino acids.  Egg White Protein also possesses a high level of sulfur which is essential to various hormonal pathways within the body.  This increased production of anabolic hormones leads to increased muscle mass.   We recommend you mix Egg White Protein within many of your custom mixes.  It possesses a bland taste to slightly salty taste, and makes a custom mixture very well rounded.  Egg White Protein is instantized and easily mixes with a shaker cup or blender.

True Protein Complete Milk Dairy Isolate Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:05:27 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Complete Milk Dairy Isolate (CMDI) is derived from fresh skim milk; both Micellar Casein and Whey Protein Isolate (80% and 20%).  CMDI is very unique in that it mimics the same amino acid profile of milk; this in turn yields a high nutritional protein which helps with proper biological function and ease of amino acid assimilation.  CMDI is completely soluble and instantized/agglomerated with a complete neutral pH.  This neutral pH retains all functionality of both the whey and casein proteins fractions, which is essential for proper sports nutrition.  The natural, gental isolation process and neutral pH helps retain all these essential protein fractions many protein powders of today are missing.  This is a great product for individuals that are lactose intolerant, Complete Milk Dairy Isolate is nearly lactose free. CMDI provides the user with a quick burst of amino acids with its whey isolate content and a slower digestibility with the remaining micellar casein content.  This mix is a great natural combination of anabolic and anticatabolic properties.  CMDI possesses a higher than normal BCAA content and EAA content which is an added bonus. CMDI possesses a very bland, milky flavor.  The mouth texture is fairly smooth but with all casein type proteins, they do possess a somewhat chalky mouth feel, of all our casein products though, this is the least chalky of them all.  Mixability is very good as it is instantized, so a quick shake of the wrist with a shaker cup is all that is needed.

True Protein Calcium Caseinate Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:03:56 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein’s Calcium Caseinate is manufactured and derived from fresh skim milk.  Calcium Caseinate protein is extracted from casein through acidification, which in turn, provides the user with a slow digesting protein.  This slow digesting time leads to anti-catabolic properties and gives the user a feeling of being fuller longer.    Calcium Caseinate, like our other fresh skim milk derived proteins is very high in L-Glutamine, an amino acid essential to muscle building.  Since this protein possesses slow digesting properties, we recommend mixing this protein with faster absorbing proteins (whey), for a well rounded custom mix.  True Protein also recommends using Calcium Caseinate before going to sleep at night (anti-catabolic), to keep amino acids working their magic for hours after you fall asleep.   Calcium Caseinate possesses a fairly bland taste.   The mouth texture is fairly smooth but with all casein type proteins, they do possess a somewhat chalky mouth feel.  Casein typeproteins in general also have a much thicker consistancy than a whey might have, so mixing quantites should be less.  It is also easily mixed in a shaker or blender.

True Protein a-Lactalbumin Reviews

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:55:56 -0500

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: True Protein's Alpha-Lactalbumin is the purest source of bovine alpha-lactalbumin commercially availabe today.  Our ALB contains a minimum of 90% alpha-lactalbumin on a protein basis. So what is so big about Alpha-Lactalbumin?  ALB has the number one and highest natural source of tryptophan available today.  Though this goes beyond just L-Tryptophan supplementation, this has to do with total plasma tryptophan availability (the stuff that really works). One recent study has shown supplemenation of ALB before bedtime has increased total tryptophan availability by 130%, which in turn led to a better less restless sleep.  Along with improved brain sustained attention process, reduced day time sleepiness and improved behavioral performance the next morning.  It was concluded all these results came about because of a better nights rest. As many may know the times that are most crucial to an athlete is our time away from the gym or playing field, when we are at rest and when we are in recovery.  At rest, during the night, is when you body naturally spurts growth hormone, a key hormone in the recovery of body tissue.

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.

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Why our Testosterone Booster is SUPERIOR! Our Testosterone Booster has been sourced from the absolute highest quality products which have been extracted to the upmost potency in order to deliver a stronger increase in hormone production resulting in increased muscle mass, fat loss, strength gains, and libido and sexual function.  We have compiled 4 of the worlds strongest natural testosterone increasing products which are: <ul> <li>LongJack</li> <li>Tribulus Terrestris</li> <li>Horney Goat Weed</li> <li>Maca</li> </ul> The reason for our Testosterone Booster being so effective is because of the simple fact that in order for these types of products to work properly each ingredient must be extracted to a higher grade than the industry standard and condensed in each serving to the affective dosage, which many other company’s do not take into consideration.  Rather they add a flurry of useless ingredients and state that it works in a synergistic fashion.  This is simply not the case!  In order to have an affective product it must contain affective dosages, which is impossible when there are 20-40 ingredients per capsule or serving.
