CLA, 90 softgels Optimum Nutrition $15

CLA, 90 softgels Optimum Nutrition $15

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), is a naturally occurring fatty acid found primarily in cattle and dairy products. CLA is best known for helping to reduce body fat and increase lean muscle tissue. CLA is scientifically-proven to help you obtain your diet goal two ways: CLA increases lean muscle mass, which naturally slims your body. Then, the added muscle burns more fat. This way, you lose weight in the right places and drop clothes sizes. CLA is quickly becoming a “must have” for people who are looking to lose fat and gain muscle. Each softgel contains 1000mg of CLA One (r) that yields 750mg total CLA and 700mg of active isomers. The History of CLA People used to receive healthy doses of Optimum Nutrition CLA in their diets through regular consumption of beef and dairy fats. However, changes over the past 30 years in the way cattle are raised and in the foods people eat have lowered the amount of CLA people get from their diet. Cattle are no longer pasture grazed, resulting in a decrease in their internal production of CLA. Most individuals are concerned with cholesterol and fat so they eat less red meat and dairy products. This eliminates even more CLA from the average diet. CLA was first identified in 1987 by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The identification of CLA resulted in nine years of experiments by Michael Pariza, PhD. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 1978, Dr. Pariza first noted an extract in beef that appeared to be an anitcarcinogenic. In 1987, he identified this extract as CLA. With this identification, came a surge of scientific studies and research on how CLA affects body mass and other beneficial effects on human health. Not only does CLA have no harmful side effects, but it’s actually good for your body. As a matter of fact, scientists worldwide are just beginning to understand CLA’s wide range of potential health benefits. Extensive research is now showing CLA to play an important role as a multi-beneficial health promoter. More than 200 studies worldwide are indicating that CLA may help reduce the incidence of breast cancer, improve asthma, allergy control, and blood sugar control (diabetes), and limit the extent of atherosclerosis which can lead to heart disease. Cancer Research In the early 1980s, it was discovered that CLA interfered with the growth of cancer tumors. Since then, a number of other studies have further shown CLA’s cancer-fighting potential. Some of these studies have shown that CLA can suppress cancer development in animals, and in human cancer cell lines in vitro. CLA also seems to play a role in protecting against breast cancer in humans. Over the next few years, additional studies are planned to help further understand the role CLA may play in the fight against cancer. Product Highlights -CLA interferes with a substance in your body called lipoprotein lipase that helps store fat in your body. -CLA helps your body use its existing fat for energy. -CLA increases lean muscle tissue, which naturally slims your body (and makes you feel strong and healthy). And the more muscle you have, the more calories your body uses in order to function, thereby speeding up the fat burning process. As a result, you get smaller in all the right places. You drop clothes sizes. You look great. You feel great. And no yo-yo dieting effect.

CoQ10 30 mg, 60 softgels

CoQ10 30 mg, 60 softgels

Description: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is clinically proven to support heart health and is necessary for energy production. CoQ10 is an essential component of the mitochondria-the energy-producing units in the cells of the body. Since heart cells can’t function without energy, they can’t function without CoQ10. And since each heart cell has more than 2000 mitochondria-the highest concentration anywhere in the body-CoQ10 supplementation is important to meet the heart’s high energy needs.While CoQ10 is synthesized in the body, and in fact, is present in every cell, it is particularly important in muscle tissue-especially the heart. Supplementing with higher dietary levels of CoQ10 can nutritionally support cardiovascular health.The Inside Scoop: Formula improvement with no added colorants; softgel color is now that of its natural ingredients.Nutrition Facts: Serving Size (gel) 1 Servings Per 60 Coenzyme Q10 (mg) 30 Ingredient Details: Other Ingredients: soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, beeswax, and lecithin.

XNO 90ct Nitric Oxide by Xyience

XNO 90ct Nitric Oxide by Xyience

Xyience XNO is for anyone who wishes to Extend their muscle pump; signal muscle growth and speed recovery; and increase their strength, stamina and sexual vigor. XNO is a Nitric Oxide increaser. Nitric Oxide, a key molecule manufactured by the body, causes vasodilation (an expansion of the internal diameter of blood vessels), which in turn leads to increased blood flow, oxygen transport, delivery of nutrients to skeletal muscle, and a reduction in blood pressure. Two amino acid compounds called arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (A-AKG) and Arginine-Ketoisocaproate (A-KIC) can boost short tem Nitric Oxide levels. A-AKG & A-KIC are the key ingredients in XNO, a Xyience product formulated to help produce the body experience some amazing changes in as little as one week. By the end of one month, users could be seeing muscle fullness and hardness like never before from a drug-free compound. Increased strength and markedly improved stamina can also be expected. In fact, the results may be classified into three categories: 1) the promotion of an extended muscle pump; 2) signaling muscle growth and speeding recovery; 3) increasing strength, stamina and sexual vigor. Furthermore, Xyience utilizes the exclusive A-DS Advanced delivery system in XNO which spikes absorption of the active compound to insure uptake and help sustain the powerful vasodilation effects of A-AKG & A-KIC around the clock. Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 3 Tablets Servings Per Container: 40 Amount Per Serving: Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (A-AKG), 3000mg Arginine-Ketoisocaproate (A-KIC) Other Ingredients: Beta cyclodexrin, cephalin, xantham, inulin, sorbitol, calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, stearic acid.

Glutamine Powder 250mg (Eclipse) Amino Supplement

Glutamine Powder 250mg (Eclipse) Amino Supplement

Glutamine Powder One of the most effective anti catabolic supplements available now in pure free form powder. Glutamine has an important structural role, comprising 5-10% of amino acid residues in various proteins. Glutamine is a major vehicle for the transfer of nitrogen between tissues. Maximum growth and proliferation of most cell types occur with adequate glutamine stores. Dependence on glutamine for cellular growth and function has been clearly demonstrated for intestinal mucosal cells and cells of the immune system.1 Glutamine plays a key part with the branched chain amino acids (BCAA) in muscle energy metabolism and the over training syndrome of athletes. Approximately, 55% of glutamine taken up is oxidized via alpha-ketogluterate and the Kreb’s cycle to form CO2 and a further 20% is incorporated into citrate, lactate, organic acids, and glucose. Most glutamine is partly metabolized to form alanine and lactate. During fever, surgery, and trauma muscle free glutamine concentrations fall. Adequate circulating glutamine is needed for mucosal healing and muscle protein synthesis; therefore glutamine may be considered “conditionally essential.” Studies suggest that providing increased oral protein intake can replete muscle glutamine concentrations.2 The relative mild stress of weight training can result in a significant decline in skeletal muscle free glutamine.3 Over training is associated with even greater decreases in muscle glutamine and to somewhat lesser extent plasma glutamine concentrations.4 There is a higher rate of glutamine synthesis and release in skeletal muscle in catabolic or weight loss states. Extensive animal studies have demonstrated that declining glutamine levels are correlated with negative nitrogen balance, decreased rates of protein synthesis and increased protein degradation. Therefore, the provision of glutamine might have anabolic effects leading to improved tissue function. The potential therapeutic use of glutamine as a nutrient in human beings has been investigated in several recent studies. All of these studies compared nitrogen balance and all found that the groups that received glutamine via TPN had greatly improved nitrogen balance. A large body of data in experimental animals and increasing data in human beings indicate that glutamine supplemented nutrition can have significant therapeutic benefit in the management of catabolic disease states. What we have established is that glutamine is an anti-catabolic nutrient and secondly that glutamine should be one of the essential or indispensable amino acids. Glutamine is anti-catabolic because it may spare muscle tissue during stress. This means if you’re a natural body builder, subjecting yourself to a certain amount of stress, the body responds by producing cortisol. The cortisol then proceeds to breakdown muscle tissue. This is one of the reasons why natural body builders have a difficult time making muscular gains. So supplementing with glutamine would then impart muscle sparing. In time the muscle that would have been lost is still there and eventually will add up to muscular gains. Another aspect of glutamine would be during the contest phase of bodybuilding. This phase includes the stress of training coupled by the stress of the pre-contest diet i.e. hypocaloric intake. The dieting bodybuilder is similar in comparison to the malnourished or hypermetabolic patient. The main difference is that the bodybuilder is performing heavy resistance type training in order to spare muscle mass. Glutamine is more important to the dieting bodybuilder due to its anti-catabolic and muscle sparing properties. Glutamine supplements during a dieting phase may cause muscle sparing and fullness due to cellular volumizing. REFERENCES 1.
