EAS Phosphagen HP Reviews

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 09:10:37 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: The Phosphagen HP formula is based on university research. Phosphagen HP is designed to support the activity and efficiency of muscle creatine transporters special proteins that "carry" creatine into muscle cells by fostering a precise metabolic and muscle "micro-environment," pushing creatine transport to a new level. Formulated with Phosphagen brand creatine monohydrate (independent-laboratory-tested HPCE pure creatine monohydrate) and the exclusive High Performance Creatine Transport System matrix: high-glycemic-index carbohydrates (NO fructose), taurine, and sodium and potassium phosphates. Phosphagen HP the ultimate vehicle to transport muscle into the high-performance range. Questions and Answers How do you use Phosphagen HP? The recommendation is to take four to five servings daily (depending on your bodyweight) in divided doses, with or between meals, for a total of five days. Then, you can cut back to one to two servings of Phosphagen HP a day as a maintenance dose. The most important time to consume a serving of Phosphagen HP is 60 minutes after your weight-training workout. What kind of results can I expect from using Phosphagen HP along with my workouts? One study from Creighton University documented the effects of creatine monohydrate plus carbohydrates (Phosphagen HP) on "anaerobic work capacity." This study revealed Phosphagen HP produced a 30% greater increase in performance than regular creatine. It's impossible to say exactly how much size and muscle strength each person may get from using Phosphagen HP. As individuals differ, so will results; however, numerous athletes and fitness buffs have experienced extraordinary improvements in lean mass gains while using Phosphagen HP.

EAS Phosphagen Elite Reviews

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Phosphagen Elite the proprietary, patented FGC formula, a revolutionary technology designed to delay the lactic acid "burn" that stops your set cold. Phosphagen Elites ingredients help produce carnosine, a buffer against the lactic acid that limits your short-burst exercise power. Using Phosphagen Elite may help you: * Boost work capacity, muscular power output, and strength-endurance * Enhance the ability to squeeze extra reps at the end of each set * Aid athletes in moderate distance sprints * Help maintain muscular power Phosphagen Elite is a fourth generation product of advanced creatine that actually helps creatine work better in the muscle. It contains FGC, a proprietary, patented technology containing Beta-Alanine that aids in the production of carnosine to buffer lactic acid and delays muscle fatigue? MORE REPS. Phosphagen Elite will boost an athlete's muscular strength, power, and distance sprints. It improves power output over creatine alone. Phosphagen HP has been researched for over six years. Phosphagen Elite prolongs the usefulness of creatine during exercise by boosting the body's ability to tolerate lactic acid. Other products claim to boost creatine storage in muscle, which is beneficial only in the loading phase. Phosphagen Elite with Beta-Alanine should enable users to complete more physical work over a short period of time, (i.e., run faster over short-to-moderate distances; perform more reps in the gym). This product will be unique in the marketplace as the first creatine product that makes creatine work better.

Description: Numerous double-blind, placebo-controlled university studies have show creatine monohydrate supplementation may boost muscle size and strength, increase lean body mass, delay fatigue, and speed muscle recovery after exercise. Creatine may also "super-hydrate" or volumize your muscle cells to further stimulate protein synthesis and decrease protein breakdown. Make no mistake; volumizing isn't about water retention, which happens outside the cell. Your muscles really are getting bigger, fuller, rounder-from the inside out. This could enhance muscularity and create an improved environment for muscle growth. What's more, studies show that when weight-training athletes start supplementing with creatine, they gain lean body mass and strength fast-sometimes within a week! No wonder creatine is considered the "must-use" sports supplement by experts worldwide.

Description: It takes a solid nutritional foundation to build your best body ever. Myoplex is designed to take the guesswork out of high performance nutrition, delivering the highest quality protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Perfect for adding or replacing 2-3 meals a day, Myoplex supplies: Questions and Answers Do you have any yeast in your Myoplex supplements? We do not add yeast to any of our products, although some of our products do contain yeast RNA (ribonucleic acid), which is derived from yeast. Myoplex Deluxe, Myoplex Deluxe Bars, GKG, and CytoVol all contain yeast RNA. Yeast RNA may assist with glutamine synthesis in the body, as well as supporting the immune system. Would Myoplex be considered "kosher" or suitable for vegetarians? Myoplex has not been tested or approved by a rabbinical oversight committee and the fact that it contains milk protein derivatives would make it unsuitable for strict vegetarians. May I supplement with a Myoplex shake as my last meal, right before I go to bed? Myoplex is not the best choice prior to going to going to bed. As it has a mid-range Glycemic index rating, it will provoke more of an insulin response than you are looking for right before going to sleep. One of the best meals you can consume just prior to going to sleep is cottage cheese and an apple. After I have mixed my Myoplex shake, for how long will it retain its potency? As long as your nutrition shake is not heated, the Myoplex nutrition shake should retain its potency for up to 8 hours. Do the Myoplex shakes contain any wheat-gluten or rice-gluten in their formula? No, all of our protein nutrition shakes, including Myoplex, are both wheat- and rice-gluten free. Could I get the same key nutrients in Myoplex from regular food? Yes, it is possible, but would you? Myoplex is in a category of products called nutrition shakes. It is meant to be a replacement for a meal. Most of us today are so busy that we don not have time to plan, shop for, and prepare the nutritious meals we should in order to get the most out of our training. That is where the convenience of a nutrition shake is so helpful. ... the bottom line * 42g protein complex to support lean mass * Good source of vitamins and minerals * Convenient, great-tasting performance nutrition

EAS Myoplex Lite Bar Reviews

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:56:48 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: What is the Myoplex Lite Nutrition bar? This bar has almost half the fat and calories of the Myoplex Deluxe Bar. This bar gives you quick nutrition when you're on the go, and it is scientifically formulated to support your body's requirements for quality nutrients. Each bar provides complex and simple carbohydrates for stable energy levels, high-quality protein for muscle recovery, and 22 vitamins and minerals. How do Results for Women Complete Energy Bars compare with Myoplex Lite Bars? These bars are similar in nutritional profile including calorie content, carbohydrate, fat, calcium, and sodium content. However, EAS researchers designed Myoplex Lite Bars for fitness enthusiasts who participate in more rigorous training programs. As such, these bars contain more protein, especially more whey protein, which is high in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). BCAAs are important for hard-training athletes since BCAAs make up 1/3 of muscle tissue, yet are catabolized readily in times of stress (such as exercise). On the Myoplex Lite Peanut Caramel Crisp Bars, why does it appear that the calories from the protein, carbs, and fat do not add up to the total calories listed on the label? The FDA calculates food product labels using approved computer systems, which rounds values of each ingredient (both macronutrients and micronutrients). These rounded values are then added to produce the final label. Since each ingredient is rounded before it is summated, the "error" is also additive, and the final label may appear to be "off". Examples of the "rounding" guidelines set by the FDA are as follows: * Products that contain more than 1 gram of protein may be rounded to the nearest 1-gram increment. Therefore, a product containing 15.4 grams protein would be rounded to 15 g on the product label. * Total Fat per serving is rounded to the nearest 0.5 increment if the total is less than 5 grams. For example, a product containing 4.25 grams fat per serving is rounded to 4.5 g for the product label. * Products containing more than 50 kcal/serving may be rounded to the nearest 10 kcal for the label. * Natural variation in food manufacturing processes and raw material lots are inherent in food production. Therefore, variations of 20% are permitted on food label claims. Although the calories may appear to be incorrect on our labels, consumers can be assured that each of our labels are consistent with these FDA guidelines. Do any of the Myoplex Lite bars contain gluten? Yes. Some of the bars may contain traces of gluten. The rice crisps contained in these bars contain barley malt, a source of gluten. Can I use the Myoplex Lite Nutrition Bar in place of a Myoplex Lite shake? You sure can! The Myoplex Lite nutrition bars can replace one to two meals a day in place of the Myoplex Lite nutrition shakes. When should I eat the Myoplex Lite Nutrition Bar? You can eat a Myoplex Lite Performance Nutrition Bar any time you want, but it is particularly convenient immediately following a workout or as a snack during the day. I noticed that the Myoplex Lite bars contain Palm Kernel Oil. This oil is approximately 80% saturated fat. Is this really healthy? The addition of fats to the Myoplex Lite bars is mainly for functional reasons. In any bar, certain fats are necessary to bind ingredients together, to provide emulsification, to maintain shelf life and to present the correct mouth feel. Note that the total amount of saturated fat in the Myoplex Lite bars is relatively low.

Description: Optimal nutrition plays a vital role in the pursuit of greater health and the quest to build a leaner, more toned body. Unfortunately, in today's busy world, it's sometimes difficult, even for the most dedicated people, to find time to shop for, prepare, and consume multiple meals, day in and day out, that contain all of the nutrients necessary to support their efforts to build better bodies. Fortunately, there's Myoplex Lite a unique precision-nutrition shake that helps take the guesswork out of optimal nutrition. This unique, custom-engineered nutrition shake is formulated to include protein, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients your body needs to maintain muscle tissue while you reduce calorie intake and optimize fat burning and it has 33% fewer calories than the original Myoplex nutrition shake. Myoplex Lite has a specially formulated proprietary blend of protein comprised of ion-exchanged whey protein as well as soy-protein isolates, which have been shown to support the metabolism as well as muscle mass, especially during a low-calorie diet or an intense training cycle. Scientific studies show soy-protein isolates may help minimize suppression of thyroid-hormone production, which frequently occurs during calorie restriction. Oftentimes, when you go on a low-calorie diet, your body fights back by slowing down your metabolic rate, possibly by reducing thyroid-hormone production. When this happens, losing fat can be even harder than it already is. To complement the metabolic support, Myoplex Lite contains a precise blend of natural phosphate compounds which, according to research, may enhance workout performance and support the metabolic rate. In one study, phosphate-supplemented subjects burned significantly more calories than those using a placebo. And, to help offset the risk of nutrient deficiencies, which plagues many dieters, Myoplex Lite is formulated with 27 vitamins and minerals as well as amino acids such as glutamine and taurine, which are vital to proper muscle metabolism. This new, high-quality formula also offers tremendous value and convenience, and like all Myoplex Precision Nutrition Formulas, it's delicious and super easy to use! Myoplex Lite is formulated to include protein, vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients your body needs to maintain muscle, with fewer calories to optimize fat burning while supporting metabolic rate. * 25 grams of quality proteins * Support for improved body composition * Help to maintain a healthy metabolism * Amazing taste

EAS Myoplex Deluxe Reviews

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:15:02 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Designed with the serious athlete in mind, newly reformulated Myoplex Deluxe offers a powerful supply of ingredients to help maximize muscle gain and increase recovery potential. Perfect for post-workout use or as a convenient and nutritious meal replacement. Myoplex Deluxe provides: * 53g three-stage precision release protein complex to support lean mass gains. * Over 12g glutamine, glutamine peptides, and glutamic acid to aid in muscle recovery and repair. * 1g CLA to help optimize fat loss. * Whole grain carbohydrate sources to allow for stable energy levels. Foundation Series: Size & Strength, Core Conditioning. Questions And Answers Myoplex Deluxe contains a sizeable amount (>10.5g) of BCAAs. Why are BCAAs beneficial? BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) comprise of 1/3 of muscle tissue and are the first amino acids to be catabolized due to intense exercise. Therefore, dietary BCAA supplementation is particularly important for hard-training individuals looking to maximize their muscle gains. Further, BCAAs may help the body to preferentially utilize intra-abdominal fat... the fat that strains the cardiovascular system and contributes to waistline girth. Why is CLA included in this blend? CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, is a special omega-6 fatty acid. Research conducted over the past decade supports the contention that CLA supports fat loss and gains in lean muscle mass. CLA may also have potent antioxidant qualities which make it ideal for hard-training bodybuilders who are at risk for exercise-induced free radical damage, thus indirectly leading to muscle gain. What is micellar casein? How does it differ from calcium or sodium caseinate? Micellar casein is the natural, undeantured form of casein found in milk. It is separated from milk by means of ultrafiltration, without the use of chemicals, which increases the amount of bioactive milk peptides that support immune function as well as enhance muscle growth. A property of micellar casein is that it may have the ability to form a "gel" in the gut. This provides a steady release of amino acids into the blood stream, which makes it an excellent choice for a long lasting anti-catabolic protein. What is brown rice syrup and why is it used? Brown rice syrup consists primarily of soluble complex carbohydrates that allow for both slow and steady release into the bloodstream (up to 2-3 hours). This steady supply of energy may curb hunger between meals and provide steady insulin levels to assist in optimizing fat loss.

EAS Muscle Armor Reviews

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:01:54 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: In gyms and training rooms everywhere, athletes of all abilities are in some stage of growing and maintaining lean muscle. But what many of them forget is the need to protect their hard-earned muscle from overtraining while putting themselves in a position to grow even more between now and their next workout. Bodybuilders and athletes have gone to great lengths to find a supplement that will help rejuvenate their muscles while simultaneously increasing their overall body strength. Products and promises came down the pike, but no one supplement offered the advanced muscle protection they were looking for. Beginning in 2005, athletes need to look no further. Extensive consumer research has shown that athletes want products clinically proven to protect their lean muscle mass and power. EAS has obtained the exclusive rights to the multiple-patented Juven Technology™. This new breakthrough product is Muscle Armor™, by EAS. Is this just an "everything but the kitchen sink" product that aims to be everything to everyone? "No, not at all," says EAS Product Development Manager and bodybuilder Ben Hall. "This product takes a unique and patented blend of ingredients and delivers them at optimal levels to help athletes of all levels recover from the stresses of training. There are products on the market that may use one or even a few of these ingredients, but none that stand up to Muscle Armor. We have synergized the best of all of these ingredients into one product." Muscle Armor is the only product available that can make the following claims and back it with a framework of science and research. Muscle Armor: * Is clinically shown to rejuvenate muscle * Is clinically shown to increase total strength * Increases the effects of resistance training on lean body mass * Is a multiple-patented combination of arginine, glutamine and HMB* According to Hall, this exclusive access to the Juven blend gives Muscle Armor a distinct advantage over products that claim to serve the same purpose. He and his team have tweaked and molded this product to best supply the specific needs of athletes looking to protect and rejuvenate muscle. "Juven is the foundation of this formulation," Hall says. "We started with the tried-and-true patented blend of glutamine and arginine, then added additional branched chain amino acids and taurine to take this product to the next level for the hardest training athletes." Hall added that each of these ingredients played a role in very specific product capabilities: "Glutamine and arginine are added to enhance protein synthesis, improve blood flow through the production of nitric oxide, and support a healthy immune system. HMB is added to minimize protein breakdown. These ingredients have also been shown to increase total strength and lean body mass." Hall admits that while Muscle Armor-containing Juven-is an elite formula designed in an environment of advanced scientific testing, athletes from all disciplines can benefit from Muscle Armor. "Every athlete has to deal with the effects of training and competition, which could lead to muscle damage," says Hall. "By using Muscle Armor they will be able to come back to their workouts stronger and better prepared. A strong day on the field or in the gym is not only good physically, but mentally you will be stronger as well." Molded in medical science and forged for athletes everywhere, Muscle Armor is the next stage of muscle protection. And just like warriors of old used armor to protect themselves and preserve their legend, today´s athletes have a brand new way to prepare and protect themselves from the rigors of brutal workouts and competition. But only the best can rise above the rest-and those with an eye to the future will prevail.

EAS Mass Factor Reviews

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:58:47 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: With post-workout nutrition, timing is everything. If you want major mass gains, you need to take advantage of the slim-but valuable-window of opportunity immediately after workouts. Because your muscles grow while they are recovering from the workout, and not during the workout, you need to feed them with a recovery supplement specifically designed to support muscular mass production. With Mass Factor that is exactly what you get! Here is why... Mass Factor has been designed to inject a burst of growth-stimulating protein and carbs into your muscles after consumption to feed the growth frenzy of the first stage. Then, the next wave of slower-absorbing protein gets pumped into your muscles to support the second-stage growth spurt. This "two-stage slower-absorbing activating system" is made possible through the use of "fast" and "slow" acting proteins and carbs. A blend of whey and casein provides the perfect protein combination, because research shows that whey protein is absorbed very rapidly into the body, while casein has a delayed absorption profile. Next, a specialized carbohydrate blend is used as the exclusive carb source. Why? Because it provides both a short and longer chain carbohydrate molecules. Short chains are absorbed rapidly and longer chains more slowly, feeding your muscles a continuous stream of clean carbs throughout both stages of the anabolic recovery phase. A combination of whey and casein-post-exercise-has been shown to increase the level of muscle protein synthesis during recovery over and above a standard carbohydrate supplement.

EAS L-Glutamine Reviews

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:53:11 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: For years athletes and bodybuilders have been looking for a product to help them recover faster from workouts and competition, keep their muscles well hydrated for maximum growth and provide numerous other benefits in the muscle building process. In recent years most athletes have to understand the benefits of L-Glutamine. Now further research into this topic suggests that the benefits may be greater than we had first thought.* L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and makes up more than 60% of the intramuscular amino acid pool. L-Glutamine plays an important role in many body functions such as proper immune system function, the transfer of nitrogen between organs, precursor to DNA and regulation of protein synthesis and degradation.* Following an intense workout your body needs to replenish glutamine stores to aid in recovery.* L-Glutamine can help increase muscle cell hydration and aid in protein synthesis. These and more functions of L-Glutamine can benefit athletes and bodybuilders by improving recovery and performance.* What is L-Glutamine? L-Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in muscle tissue. It is a nonessential amino acid that can be produced by the body under normal conditions. However, under periods of stress, such as intense workouts, the body may have an increased demand making it a conditionally essential amino acid. Supplementation with L-Glutamine may be an effective way to support sufficient glutamine levels, which may aid in recovery and recuperation.* How can L-Glutamine help with my training and nutrition program? L-Glutamine may help with: * recovery and recuperation* * protecting muscle cells from breaking down* * cell volumization* What is the recommended use for L-Glutamine? Here´s one suggestion. During periods of high-intensity exercise or increased stress to the body, try 2 to 4 grams (1/2-1 tsp) 2 to 3 times daily. Taking L-Glutamine after workouts or before bedtime, times when muscle tissue typically undergoes repair and recuperation, could be particularly effective.*

EAS HMB Reviews

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:49:05 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolite B-hydroxy B-methylbutyrate monohydrate (HMB) has been shown to support the body's ability to minimize protein (i.e., muscle) breakdown and damage to muscle cells, which can occur after intense resistance exercise.1 By reducing muscle tissue breakdown, HMB may tip the scales of protein turnover in favor of new muscle growth. EAS was the first company to bring HMB to the market. Since then, it has been written up in numerous health and fitness magazines, hundreds of newspapers, and it's been featured on dozens of TV news programs as an exciting, breakthrough supplement that might allow people to get better results faster from the time they spend exercising.

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:43:19 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Created by EAS scientists who are passionate about the pursuit of peak performance, Endurathon will help take your endurance performance to the next level. Here's how: Uniquely formulated to set it apart from other supplements, Endurathon contains ribose, a necessary building block in the regeneration of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy fuel for muscles during exercise. Our protein/carbohydrate blend with whey protein isolate and trehalose helps restore the balance of glycogen and hydration to muscles. This creates an environment of muscular endurance and energy while you exercise. The potential for peak performance is there for the taking. Endurathon is the key to unlocking that potential. Q&A Q: What does Endurathon contain that helps you recover faster, work out longer and build muscle? A: Ribose-Ribose is a necessary building block in the regeneration of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), the immediate energy fuel used by muscles to perform strenuous workouts and other athletic activities. When you exercise, the ribose you currently store in your body may not be enough to help you make the most of your training. Ribose helps you improve athletic endurance and aids in the exercise recovery and muscle growth. Trehalose-Helps to sustain energy levels over time. BCAA-Branched chain amino acids are "stripped" from muscle to be used as an energy source during intense exercise. The BCAA content in Endurathon creates an environment of muscular endurance and energy replenishment while you exercise. Endurathon is designed to: * Promote hydration and boost electrolytes * Enhance your bodies response to exercise-induced stress * Replenish the balance of glucose in the muscles * Stimulate muscular replenishment and prolong muscle endurance * Help the body recover more quickly from intense training

EAS CLA Reviews

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:37:31 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a naturally occurring nutrient which scientists have discovered exerts a positive effect on protein and fat metabolism. * Accelerate Fat Lose * Powerful Antioxidant Protection Controlled scientific studies have shown that supplementing with CLA may favorably affect body composition. Scientists hypothesize that CLA, possibly acting to enhance metabolic activity at the cellular membrane level, may allow those who supplement with CLA, exercise, and follow a healthy lifestyle to lose fat and gain muscle definition faster. EAS introduced CLA to the supplement market in 1996 and was the first company to fund human clinical studies involving this patented dietary supplement. Questions and Answers Is CLA a supplement I can use when I'm trying to reduce my bodyfat? Isn't it a fat? Actually, CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in a number of foods. (Fatty acids are the molecules that make up a fat.) And contrary to popular belief, not all fats are "bad,"! Studies show that CLA may indeed be an effective supplement for supporting fat loss and increases in lean body mass. Research suggests CLA can do this by altering the way the body uses and stores energy. What exactly is CLA? CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid. It's a naturally occurring fatty acid in a number of foods. It was originally isolated in cooked ground beef, believe it or not, about ten years ago. Fatty acids are the molecules that make up a fat, in sort of the same way amino acids are the molecules that make up a protein. Examples of other fatty acids include linoleic acid and linolenic acid. What exactly does conjugated mean? Well, it simply means the molecule has what's known as two double carbon bonds, separated by one single bond. You chemists out there will understand that perfectly, but for those of you who are experts in some other field, suffice it to say that those conjugated double bonds give it properties very different from regular linoleic acid (the kind found in flax oil or borage oil). CLA is not a drug. In fact, it's found in relatively large quantities in some foods like dairy products, beef and veal, and even turkey. The average person probably gets up to one gram a day just by eating regular foods. The trouble is, you'd probably have to eat more meat or more cheese than you ever dreamed of to get enough CLA to see any beneficial effects. For instance, cheeses have an average of between 2.9 mg and 7.1 mg of CLA per gram of fat. You'd have to eat cheese on the order of several pounds a day to get anywhere near the four-gram dosage that appears to be beneficial to humans. It makes more sense to consume CLA supplements that contain a high concentration of this unique fatty acid. How could fat help you build muscle? For many years, performance nutrition experts pretty much dismissed fats, thinking they didn't have any useful role in nutrition. Instead, we focused on the protein-sparing and energy-producing effects of carbohydrates, and we intensively studied how amino acids and various proteins might affect nitrogen retention, anabolism, and catabolism. Our "inquiring minds" were probably influenced by the mass media's "all-fat-is-bad" campaign. But now the scales are tipping in the other direction. Nutritional geniuses like Dr. Barry Sears (author of The Zone) have shown us how fatty acids are not only essential for proper health but also how the proper use of such compounds may have numerous positive effects. Dr. Sears is certain fatty acids directly influence the body's growth-promoting hormones. Other sports nutrition experts believe that fats may not only be essential to muscle growth but may actually promote it. Some support for this theory can be found when observing athletes on extremely low-fat nutritional plans (less than 10% of total calories). Following an increase of certain fats in their nutritional programs, they sometimes gain strength and size. It's possible that these "mystical" effects of fats could be due in part to CLA and other EFA's. What does CLA do? Controlled scientific studies have shown CLA may promote growth in healthy animals, and it may slow the loss of muscle tissue in catabolic conditions. If you've been reading any of the fitness magazines over the past couple of years, you're certainly aware that one of the "hot topics" is anti-catabolism. Numerous experts believe if you can minimize the effects of catabolic hormones on muscle tissue, you may cause an increase in total body protein (muscle). Now, it's important to realize the body has numerous catabolic hormones. It has a number of different mechanisms by which it builds up and breaks down protein; it's not just "black or white." It's very complicated stuff, much too complicated to discuss it all here. However, it is possible that CLA has potent anti-catabolic effects, effects that may not be the same as those of anti-catabolic compounds such as HMB and other amino-acid-like compounds. It's also possible that using CLA along with other anti-catabolic supplements might produce a "synergistic" effect that is, by combining CLA with these other supplements, it may produce results that are not just additive [1 + 1 = 2] but synergistic (1 + 1 could = 5). Of course, to answer these questions, more research is needed. So, it's possible CLA may help promote muscle growth by minimizing catabolism. Another possible "mode of action" involves the nitrogen-sparing properties of certain fatty acids in general. It has been scientifically demonstrated that lipid (fat) infusion may influence the composition of cell membranes, thereby affecting essential functions like enzyme activities, transport receptors, and regulatory functions. And, because fitness buffs have typically been taught that too much fat is bad, it's not unlikely that many may be deficient in essential fatty acids. Particular fats, however, show unique protein-sparing abilities above and beyond their normal functions. This is where the "improved feed efficiency" noted in many CLA experiments might play a part. In other animal experiments, "structured lipids," or artificially made fats with which CLA shares many traits, have resulted in higher albumin concentration and nitrogen retention (both associated with increased muscle growth). One experiment showed that certain fats related to CLA produced a significant increase in skeletal muscle protein synthesis rates. CLA, it seems, may very well possess unique protein-sparing abilities. Another theory as to how CLA might work relates to Dr. Barry Sears' (author of The Zone) discoveries of eicosanoids. Dr. Sears has long maintained that the proper consumption of fats can lead to the production of "good" eicosanoids, which are the cellular hormones that mediate production of all other hormones, including testosterone and growth hormone. Although borage oil (which includes gamma linoleic acid, not conjugated linoleic acid) and flaxseed oil (which includes plain linoleic acid) have their place, taking too much may lead to the production of arachidonic acid, which, according to Dr. Sears, can shut down the production of good eicosanoids. CLA, on the other hand, does not convert to arachidonic acid. In fact, one study reported reduced arachidonic-acid levels in skeletal muscle of animals given CLA. Have there been any studies done on CLA? CLA has been extensively studied by doctors and scientists. They have repeatedly shown that supplementing the food intake of animals with CLA may promote a number of positive effects, faster rates of growth being one of them. Another possible positive effect they have observed numerous times is that CLA seems to minimize catabolism. The scientists who have made these discoveries are so confident that CLA has numerous positive effects that they have patented the use of CLA for promoting growth, improving feed efficiency, and have also filed, and received, patents for the use of CLA in preventing muscle wasting due to high levels of catabolic hormones. Does CLA cause any side effects? CLA is a dietary supplement, not a drug. This compound occurs naturally in a variety of foods, and extensive research on CLA has shown no toxicity nor any adverse effects. At this time, CLA has no known side effects.

EAS Betagen Reviews

Description: Betagen HP is the first to combine university-tested EAS HMB and Phosphagen brand creatine monohydrate along with the amino acids taurine and glutamine - the two most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue. This formula is new and improved with the addition of more glutamine, more taurine, plus the antioxidants vitamin C and E, and a full array of B-vitamins. This Product Was Designed To: * Increase lean muscle mass and strength * Supress muscle protein breakdown following exercise * Enhance muscle energetics and recuperation What is different about Betagen HP from the original Betagen? Several additions have been made to Betagen to enhance the overall effectiveness of the product. These improvements include: More glutamine (2g)-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue, and among other functions, is responsible for recovery and repair of muscle tissue1. Research has found evidence that glutamine is important for the maintenance of skeletal muscle protein levels. For individuals engaged in intense exercise, glutamine may exert a beneficial effect on immune system strength, cell volumization, and protein synthesis. More taurine (500mg)-Early research on the amino acid taurine showed that it possesses insulin-mimicking characteristics that may be valuable for nutrient transport. Current investigation of taurine demonstrates its involvement in the control of muscular contraction. Significant losses in taurine may decrease muscle contractility, and consequently, exercise performance. By offsetting taurine loss, the benefits of high intensity exercise including strength and lean mass gains may be increased. Vitamins C and E-Whether you lift weights or run, the body produces free radicals. The body's internal antioxidant defense systems can handle the challenge of dealing with free radicals at low levels of exercise intensity, however elevated intensity levels may require supplemental defense. The addition of vitamins C and E may support the overall recovery process, as they provide immune system support and antioxidant protection from free radicals. These powerful antioxidant vitamins may help hard-training athletes avoid the negative consequences of overtraining. Research on the effects of vitamin C on exercise performance indicates that ascorbic acid may prevent the formation of exercise-induced free radicals. In a study investigating the effects of vitamin E on recreationally weight trained subjects, it was determined that a decrease in muscle membrane disruption and oxidative stress was evident. What may be even more interesting about the supplementation of these two vitamins is that vitamin C is thought to regenerate vitamin E7, making it advantageous to use both in conjunction to ensure optimal availability in offsetting free-radical damage. This antioxidant combination in BetaGen HP may help individuals recover faster from intense workouts by diminishing the harmful effects of free radical production. B-vitamin complex-The B-vitamin complex serves a wide variety of functions in the body, including growth and repair of body tissues, healthy cell development, nervous system function, and metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. In particular, vitamins B6, B12, and Folic acid are important for the synthesis of hormones and red blood cell production. Paying major attention to vitamin and mineral intake, specifically B vitamins, zinc and chromium, is required to optimize carbohydrate metabolism, the ultimate limiting factor for sport performance. Ensuring that sufficient levels of the B-complex are available in the body may optimize the function of the nervous system and metabolically active tissues (muscle) to achieve maximal athletic performance.
