Hammer Nutrition Heed Reviews

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:18:54 -0600

Description:  Hammer H.E.E.D. is a definite "step up" and welcome departure from the seemingly endless number of powdered sports drinks available to endurance athletes, giving you all the convenience of a powdered drink mix along with many added benefits not found in the vast majority of sports drinks. One of the primary flaws inherent with most sports drinks is their reliance on simple sugar as the carbohydrate source. The use of simple sugar such as glucose, sucrose, and fructose not only severely limits the amount of calories that can be efficiently digested and utilized for energy, it may cause wild fluctuations in energy levels. H.E.E.D.'s all-complex carbohydrate formula, on the other hand, allows you to obtain the ideal amount of calories you need, providing a more consistent and longer lasting energy supply, and without putting you at risk for stomach distress. H.E.E.D. also provides a complete and easily assimilated electrolyte profile, not just salt and potassium, which comprise the electrolyte "profile" of most other drinks. For some athletes, one or two scoops of H.E.E.D. will completely fulfill electrolyte requirements (in addition to caloric requirements). For other athletes, the electrolyte profile in H.E.E.D. will provide an excellent base from which additional Endurolytes can be added to completely satisfy electrolyte needs. With added chromium polynicotinate for maintaining stable blood glucose levels and l-carnosine for buffering lactic acid, H.E.E.D. is truly in a class of its on in the world of powdered sports drinks. So whenever and wherever a sports drink is your preferred choice, heed your body's desire for a superior fuel. H.E.E.D. is the only choice you need to make.

Hammer Nutrition Hammer Whey Reviews

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:10:47 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Hammer Whey is the standard for promoting rapid recovery. For the rebuilding of lean muscle tissue and optimal immune system functioning between workouts and races, whey protein has no peer. It is the most bioavailable form of protein and has the highest percentage of essential amino acids, the protein building blocks that your body does not manufacture and must be obtained from dietary sources. Moreover, 25% of the essential amino acid component comes from the three most important amino acids for muscle tissue repair, the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Each scoop of Hammer Whey also contains a huge six grams of glutamine, providing even more muscle rebuilding and immune system enhancing benefits. Hammer Whey is also rich in two other highly beneficial amino acids, methionine and cysteine. These two nutrients stimulate the natural production of glutathione, one of the body's most powerful antioxidants. Endurance exercise increases free-radical production, so endurance athletes need extra antioxidant protection. Glutathione also supports immune system and liver functions. Short four-amino acid chains known as quadripeptides constitute another key component of whey protein. One more point about whey protein: for a supplement, make sure you use whey protein isolate, not whey protein concentrate. Whey protein isolate is virtually lactose and fat free; many lactose-intolerant people can still use whey protein isolate because it contains only a miniscule amount of lactose. Also, whey isolate checks in at a sturdy 90-97% protein by volume, whereas whey concentrate runs only 70-80% protein by weight. Simply put, whey protein isolate is a purer protein, and the best protein you can put into your body after a hard workout, which is why Hammer Whey is comprised of whey protein isolates only. Key Benefits... <ul> <li>Enhanced recovery </li> <li>Superb immune system support </li> <li>Protection of lean muscle tissue </li> <li>Less soreness after workouts and the following day </li> </ul> How well you perform tomorrow depends on how well you recover today. It's during the recovery process that your body grows stronger and more fit. Exercise breaks down muscle tissue, depletes energy stores, and stresses your immune system. Recovery builds these back up again--if you have adequate nutrient intake and a sensible exercise regime. Athletic improvement occurs during the rest and recovery phase, when your body responds to the stress of training. Smart athletes follow the formula for success: recover as purposely as you train. Hammer Whey is a key component for superior recovery.

Hammer Nutrition Endurolytes Reviews

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:36:19 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Electrolyte replacement during exercise can vary as much as tenfold between two athletes. No other area of endurance nutrition or supplementation calls for such individualized dosing. And perhaps no other area of fueling can drop you out of the competition as quickly as electrolyte depletion or overdose. This is a critically important area where correct dosing is a must; you simply mustn't consider getting electrolytes out of a premixed drink. The risk of too much fluid/too few electrolytes is high, which means bad news for your stomach, your muscles, and your performance. You want a product that allows effective electrolyte replenishment under any weather condition, any length of exercise, and any intensity of exercise. Endurolytes, unlike any other pill, tablet, or premixed drink, is that product. Also, don't make the mistake of thinking that electrolytes = sodium. Sodium alone cannot and will not effectively replenish electrolyte needs and may cause more problems than it resolves. With Endurolytes you're assured of getting all the right minerals in exactly the right balance. Endurolytes comes "in bulk" with a scoop (one level scoop is equal to one Endurolytes capsule), allowing you to mix the powder directly into your water bottle. We've added 50 mg of the amino acid Glycine, which helps neutralize the naturally salty to bitter taste of the electrolytic minerals. There are 150 scoops/servings per container. Just Some of the Benefits... <ul> <li>Superior support for the prevention of cramping, spasms, and other heat related issues </li> <li>Enhanced endurance from effective, complete, balanced electrolyte replenishment </li> <li>Efficient absorption of nutrients eliminates upset stomach </li> <li>Flexible dosing provides effective electrolyte replacement for all body types under all conditions </li> </ul>

Hammer Nutrition Appestat Reviews

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:10:40 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: We've got lots of grizzlies here in northwest Montana, and in the off-season they set their activity level at "hibernate." We know you don't cut back your training that much, but you do cut back, and you stay awake all winter eating. Come next season, you look like you are ready to hibernate. If that's the case, then you need Appestat, the guaranteed way to restrict appetite during the off-season. Stimulant-free Appestat safely suppresses appetite and increases carbohydrate metabolism, thereby helping to decrease body fat accumulation and weight gain without the use of potentially harmful stimulants. When you start off next season already at ideal weight, you'll be glad you invested a few dollars in Appestat. What Do These Nutrients Do? 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), is a plant-based precursor of serotonin. In addition to potentially enhancing the quality of sleep, 5-HTP aids in reducing sugar cravings. Zinc (we use the extremely bioavailable Monomethionine form) is an essential part of approximately 300 different bodily function including carbohydrate metabolism. Low zinc levels, common in high carbohydrate diets, can also reduce the athlete's ability to utilize oxygen and generate energy during exercise. Iodine is needed for the synthesis of one of the thyroid hormones known as thyroxin that is involved in regulating metabolic rate. Chromium is a hormone-like compound, critically involved in insulin production. It is an essential nutrient for athletes and for weight loss as it is necessary for energy production and for the synthesis of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. While there are a few forms of this mineral available to the consumer, the polynicotinate form is superior, considered to be 300 times more biologically active than the other forms currently available, referring to the absorption rates of the various forms of chromium. Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) may just be one of Nature's most remarkable weight loss nutrients. This active ingredient of the Garcinia Cambogia fruit safely inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase, which is used in the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. It also gently suppresses appetite and reduces food intake.

Hammer Nutrition Anti-Stress Caps Reviews

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:59:46 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Thoroughly tested over several years in the most extreme athletic endurance events, Anti-Fatigue Caps helps remove fatigue-causing, performance-robbing ammonia. During extended endurance exercise the body accumulates excess ammonia from protein metabolism, which interferes with glycogen production, disrupting energy output. Anti-Fatigue Caps is a one-of-a-kind product combining three well-known ammonia-scavenging nutrients. Clean up the waste products of combustion, or youâ€™ll pay the price. To stay strong in multi-hour events, you need Anti-Fatigue Caps. Potassium/Magnesium Aspartate - A well-known nutritionist says it best regarding aspartic acid, "Because aspartic acid increases stamina, it is good for fatigue and plays a vital role in metabolism. It is good for athletes and helps to protect the liver by aiding in the removal of excess ammonia." Studies (Agersborg and Shaw 1962, Hicks 1964, Gaby 1982) have shown that this combination provides substantial benefits in the prevention of fatigue. Aspartic acid also combines with other amino acids to form molecules that absorb toxins and remove them from the bloodstream, aids the function of RNA and DNA, and helps to protect the liver. Additionally, the potassium/magnesium aspartate compound increases production of a key substrate, oxaloacetate, which is involved in energy production. L-Citrulline - Citrulline is an amino acid that is found plant foods such as onions and garlic. Citrulline detoxifies ammonia and, like aspartic acid, is used in the treatment of fatigue. It promotes energy and stimulates the immune system. OKG - Both ornithine and alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) provide a readily available, non ammonia-producing source of glutamine in the body. Glutamine is depleted at high rates during exercise but cannot be replaced with regular glutamine as it creates excess ammonia on its own. OKG increases the amount of glutamine in the muscle and also helps prevent muscle catabolism. Another well-known nutritionist writes, "Both ornithine and alpha-ketoglutarate act in the body as an ammonia scavenger."
