They are invariably better than water alone and bring your system into balance more quickly by helping you retain more of the liquid you ingest. PROPER HYDRATION includes supplementing water with electrolytes DURING activity, but it is not limited ONLY to periods of actual training and racing.<br/><br/>12 Tablets per tube.

<div class="product-description">OPTIMAL HYDRATION takes place in the days and weeks before an event or after a hard workout. Use GU Brew Electrolyte Tablets whenever, wherever, and you'll see a boost in preparation, sustenance, as well as recovery.SIMPLY, electrolytes improve the efficacy of the hydration process. They are invariably better than water alone and bring your system into balance more quickly by helping you retain more of the liquid you ingest. GU BREW ELECTROLYTE TABLETS are simple, light tasting and natural. Compare to the alternatives.<h2>Human Physiology 101 - Water is a great way to hydrate, right? </h2>Well, yes and no. Water of course has the fluid you need because that's what it is - just fluid. Problem is once you start training and racing and drinking lots of water, your body starts using some of that fluid (in muscle contractions and for cooling for example) and gets rid of the rest through a few different mechanisms such as urination because it is just water - the body can store and use only so much pure water. Therein lies the problem - the more straight water you drink the more you lose - a self defeating endeavor if there ever was one. But you're supposed to retain that water to "stay hydrated", right?! What gives? That's where electrolytes such as sodium and potassium come in -by their very nature they help your body retain the fluid it needs to function properly. That's why drinks with electrolytes are so important for proper hydration - they act as a catalyst to help your body retain fluid necessary for muscles to work properly so you don't lose all that valuable fluid. That's why you need Brew Electrolyte Tablets- because they are fortified with a unique blend of electrolytes, the tablets are a better form of hydrating than water alone. So where you may typically grab a bottle of just water, try Brew Tablets to retain the fluid you need to stay hydrated. During extended training or racing, Electrolyte Tablets offer a convenient and fast way to enrich straight water (when Electrolyte Brew or an alternative may not be readily available). Ultimately the Brew Electrolyte Tablets are another offering from GU that help athletes keep variety in their sports nutrition regimes. Using them with other GU products such as GU Chomps is as simple as swapping them for Electrolyte Brew an athlete should account for the lower calorie intake and possibly add an extra GU Energy Gel, Roctane or a Serving of Chomps (all roughly 100 calories)<h2>Nutrition Information:</h2>Sachet size: 1 TabletServings Per Container: 12Provides per serve:Calories........................10Total Fat..........................0gSodium....................320mgPotassium.................55mgTotal Carb....................1g- Sugars........................11g Protein...........................0g<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Citric Acid, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sorbitol, Natural Flavor, Fructose, Potassium Bicarbonate, Sodium Carbonate, Stevia Leaf Extract, Sesame Oil, Riboflavin-5'-phosphate (as color), Magnesium Oxide<h2>HOW TO USE</h2>For Optimal Results, Drink 20-30 Oz.

Supplementation with Creatine Monohydrate can help maximize energy output during intense training to help you reach the next level. This nutrient maximizes strength, performance and muscular development. 
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Oral supplementation of creatine monohydrate has been shown to increase the resynthesis of ATP (andenosine triphosphate) from ADP (andenosine diphosphate) during muscle contractions. ATP is the molecule the muscle cells burn during muscle contraction. When the energy is released from the ATP molecule it drops off a phosphate, thus becoming ADP. Creatine combines with a phosphate molecule forming a phosphocreatine molecule which delivers the phosphate to the ADP molecule reforming ATP. This resynthesized ATP molecule is then ready to be utilized for energy again. Because the body only stores an 8 - 12 second supply of ATP, it is very important to increase the creatine pool and maximize the ATP-ADP phosphate shuttle. The result is more explosive muscular contractions, increased stamina and endurance, greater intensity and less muscular fatigue which delivers more muscle size and strength.<h3>ATP resynthesis, Proven Muscular Power & Stamina Product.</h3> Prolab Nutrition's creatine monohydrate is produced in Germany in an ISO 9000 & 9001 certified factory. An ISO certification is the highest award a laboratory or factory can achieve. It surpasses the standards of OTC and even surpasses the strict standards of pharmaceutical manufacturing.Creatine Monohydrate is produced via a chemical synthesis route. The synthesis is done by reacting sarcosine sodium salt with cyanamide under heated conditions. Sarcosine sodium salt is a derivative of acetic acid. Cyanamide is an organic amide. When the process is complete, the sodium salt is rinsed away and the finished product is then redried. This critical step insures there is no residual sodium common to incomplete processing. Further information on specific processing conditions and equipment used in the manufacture of creatine monohydrate is considered proprietary and the process patent protected.The finished product then undergoes rigid testing for purity against a creatine monohydrate standard. Through a process called High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) the creatine is tested for its level of purity. Creatine monohydrate under this testing procedure will typically score as 99% pure creatine monohydrate. This purity test is the only test the majority of companies will conduct on their product.The finished product is further tested for impurities that would indicate product instability. The results of instability are product degradation and breakdown. Breakdown causes formation of impurities common to incomplete synthesis. Industrial grade raw materials to start the creatine monohydrate processing will also result in the formation and build-up of impurities with unknown, yet potentially harmful toxilogical properties. Our raw materials are pharmaceutical/food grade only. This grade is screened for impurities before processing begins.Simply stated, processing starts with the very best ingredients that yield the world's finest creatine monohydrate product. All manufacturing takes place in a state-of-the-art refinery through a patented process. Finished product is not only tested for purity, we also test for impurities. These steps insure that you are receiving the very best product on the market.<h3>This is a must have product for weight trainers and power athletes.</h3><h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 1 Teaspoon (5 g)Servings Per Container: 200Provides per serve:Creatine Monohydrate....................5gDuring the loading phase take one rounded teaspoon (5 grams) 4 times per day (20 grams total) for 5 days. For maintenance period, take one rounded teaspoon (5 grams) once daily. Dissolve in juice or water.Warning: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you have or suspect a medical condition, are taking prescription drugs, or are pregnant or lactating.</div>

Roctane originated as a premium energy gel developed by company founder Dr. William Vaughan to fuel his daughter Lauras course record at the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run in the Colorado Rockies. Now, after years of testing with thousands of elite athletes training for and competing in the most physically demanding sports in the world, its your turn to fuel up like a pro!

<div class="product-description"><strong>PLEASE NOTE - Product Best By Dates:Vanilla Orange Best by 05/12Blueberry Pomegranate 06/12Cherry Lime 03/12 </strong><h2>Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel: GU to a Higher Power!</h2>Roctane comes from years of testing scientifically-proven formulas with thousands of elite athletes training for and competing in the most physically-demanding sports in the world. Roctanes advanced formula amplifies GUs original Energy Gel recipe and adds new ingredients to boost your chances of success. Now its your turn to fill your tank with premium Roctane and compete like a pro.<h2>Roctane Ingredients & Benefits</h2>Roctane takes athletes' top choice for an energy gel, GU, amplifies the original recipe and then adds new ingredients to boost performance in sustained, high-intensity efforts. Here's how it's done:We start with original GU's superior mix of complex and simple carbohydrates that provide quick and sustained energy, electrolytes for replenishment and caffeine to tap more power and diminish pain.From there we increase the amount of histidine, an essential amino acid, to act as a buffer and slow the energy-sapping lactic acid build-up in muscles.We mix in higher levels of citrates (potassium citrate, sodium citrate, and citric acid) to help speed the conversion of carbohydrates into energy molecules and, like histidine, help mitigate acid build-up.We also add more of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine to serve as another fuel source, aid in recovery and help maintain mental focus and reduce fatigue by limiting the central nervous system's production of serotonin.Finally, we add a new ingredient, the amino acid complex Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG) which limits the body's tendency to break down muscle protein tissue during extremely hard training and racing days. OKG keeps you going longer and promotes a speedier recovery.<h2>ARE YOU A GU ROCTANE ATHLETE?</h2>If your idea of training or racing is giving it your all in a multi-hour adventure or youre competing in multiple racing heats during a day, then Roctane is for you. For all other training and racing, the original GU energy gel will keep you fueled like a champ. <h2>GU Roctane Fueling Instructions</h2>Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel packs 100 calories into every packet. Its an ideal serving size to suck down 15 minutes before training or racing in order to top off your electrolyte and glucose stores, followed by one every 30-45 minutes along the way, washed down with a few sips of fluid.For optimum results, always drink at least 24-30 ounces of fluid per hour during training and racing.Exact Roctane intake depends on the intensity of your pursuit and your body weight and fitness level. The fitter you are and the more efficient your metabolism, the more Roctane you can eat each hour, up to approximately 340 calories every 60 minutes.Combine Roctane with original GU Energy Gel and GU20 Sports Drink for the ultimate in sports hydration and fueling. Take one gel 15 minutes before training or competition and then one gel every 30-45 minutes during exercise. Drink GU20 throughout.<h2>NUTRITION FACTS</h2>1 packet (32g/1.1oz)Provides per serve:Total Carb..........................................25gSugars.................................................5gSodium.........................................125mgPotassium......................................55mgCalciumRoctane Amino Blend................1220mgHistidineLeucineValineIsoleucine Ornithine Alpha-ketoglutarate......480mgCaffeine..........................................35mg<h2>Ingredients</h2>MALTODEXTRIN (GLUCOSE POLYMERS), FILTERED WATER, FRUCTOSE, ROCTANE AMINO BLEND (HISTIDINE, LEUCINE, VALINE, ISOLEUCINE), ORNITHINE ALPHA-KETOGLUTARATE (OKG), SODIUM CITRATE, MALIC ACID, CITRIC ACID, POTASSIUM CITRATE, NATURAL POMEGRANATE FLAVOR, NATURAL BERRY FLAVOR, CALCIUM CARBONATE, SEA SALT, CAFFEINE, SODIUM BENZOATE, POTASSIUM SORBATE</div>

<div class="product-description"><strong>PLEASE NOTE - Product Use By Dates:Watermelon 09 AUG 2012,Orange 10 AUG 2012Blueberry 20 AUG 2012, Strawberry 17 AUG 2012Cranberry 04 NOV 2012, </strong>GU Chomps deliver the premium ingredients and performance benefits you've come to expect from GU Energy products:<br/> Amino acids for added focus, rippin' energy and speedy recovery.<br/> Vitamin C + E, those mighty antioxidants that combat tissue breakdown.<br/> Sodium and potassium to restore electrolyte balance.<br/> Exclusive blend of complex and simple carbohydrates.<br/>All in all, a superior choice to propel you in your athletic pursuits. <h2>GU Chomps Ingredients & Benefits</h2>GU Chomps utilize GU Energy Gel's proven blend of carbohydrates, amino acids, antioxidants and electrolytesin a chewable form.Carbohydrates: Like GU, Chomps contain a balance of complex carbohydrates (maltodextrin) and simple carbs (tapioca syrup and cane sugar) as the basis for delivering fast and usable energy. Each carbohydrate plays a key role in fueling your competitive fire. Together they get you moving faster and longer, not to mention helping you feel better on the rebound.Amino Acids: Of course there is more to GU and Chomps than just carbs. Both contain branched chain amino acids, which provide extra energy during exercise and play a key role in maintaining concentration and accelerating recovery from a hard workout or race. GU Chomps are the only energy chews on the market with amino acids.Antioxidants: GU Chomps are chock full of two key antioxidants, all natural vitamins C and E. Free radicals hate us! We can't guarantee that you won't bonk or won't be sore after a long workout, but certainly the advanced food science behind GU products will help. GU Chomps are the only energy chew on the market with 100% DV of Vitamins C & E.Electrolytes: Meaningful levels of electrolytes, when supported by water, help you stay hydrated and firing on all cylinders. GU Chomps contain 55mg of sodium & 40mg of potassium per serving.Caffeine:Caffeine has meaningful benefits for athletes during training or racing as it: stimulates the central nervous system increases the release of adrenalin and helps the body metabolize fat as fuel. GU Chomps are available in a variety of caffeinated and caffeine-free flavors.<h2>GU Chomps Usage Instructions</h2>Each serving of GU Chomps contains 4 pieces (90 calories) and will provide enough fuel for approximately 45-60 minutes of activity. One packet of Chomps contains 2 servings, which will keep you fueled for 1 to 2 hours. 1 packet of Chomps = 2 servings = 1 to 2 hours of activityFor optimal results, always drink 24 to 30 ounces of fluid per hour of exercise.<h2>GU CHOMPS FAQ:</h2>Should I use Chomps instead of GU?We still insist that GU Energy Gel (and Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel) is the ideal source of fuel for an athlete while training or racing, but just in case you crave something to sink your teeth into, weve created GU Chomps. Chomps contain all the benefits of GU Energy Gel, in a chewable form.Do Chomps have caffeine?The Strawberry and Cranberry Apple flavors each have 20mg of caffeine per serving, while Blueberry Pomegranate and Orange are caffeine free.How do you eat Chomps?GU Chomps have a convenient tear strip at the top that allows you to squeeze out one Chomp at a time. Remember, 4 Chomps equal 1 serving.How many packets of Chomps do I need?1 packet of Chomps contains 2 servings, which will provide enough fuel for 1 to 2 hours of activity. That said, all athletes are different and we encourage you to experiment with what works best for you. Remember to hydrate along the way!How long do Chomps take to work?Since Chomps are semi-solid it will take a little longer than with a gel for your body to feel the effects. The nutritional benefit of Chomps should hit your bloodstream within 10-15 minutes.Are Chomps safe for children?Chomps are safe for children to eat, but remember that the Strawberry and Cranberry Apple flavors contain caffeine.Are Chomps gluten free?As with all GU Energy Labs products, Chomps are gluten free.Are Chomps dairy free?Yes.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size 4 Pieces (30g)Servings Per Container 2Provides per Serve: Calories.........................90Total Carb......................23g- Sugars........................11g Total Fat........................0gProtein..........................0g Sodium.........................55mgPotassium......................40mg Not a significant source of calories from fat, saturated fat, trans fat cholesterol, dietery fiber, vitamin A, calcium and iron.<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Tapioca Syrup, Cane Sugar, Maltodextrin, Pectin, Citric Acid, Gu Amino Blend (Leucine,Valine, Histidine, Isoleucine), GU Antioxidant Blend [Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin E (DL-AlphaTocopheryl Acetate)], Potassium Citrate, Sodium Citrate, Colors Added (Purple Berry Extract), Natural Flavor, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Carnauba Wax.

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00288-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />primaFORCE D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) is the newest natural testosterone booster on the market. DAA is the D-form of the amino acid aspartic acid. The body can produce DAA from the nonessential amino acid L-aspartic acid (the dietary form of aspartic acid). D-form amino acids, such as DAA, are found in higher concentrations in specific tissues in the body. For example, higher concentrations of DAA are found in the testes, pituitary gland, and hypothalamus all of which are areas involved in hormone production.

<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">One big difference between DAA and other natural testosterone boosters is there is actually scientific data in humans showing it to effectively increase testosterone levels. A study by Topo et al. showed that supplementing with 3 grams of DAA increased circulating luteinizing hormone (LH) levels by 33% and testosterone levels by 42% in men aged 27-37 years old.* Further studies need to be done to examine DAAs affects on estrogen and prolactin levels, but at this time there are no side effects reported with DAA use. DAA is a natural amino acid found in our food supply and produced by the body making it a great tool to naturally increase healthy males testosterone production.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 1 scoop (3,000mg)Servings Per Container: 33.33Provides per serve:D-Aspartic Acid................3,000mg<h2>Ingredients:</h2> Primaforce D-Aspartic Acid contains 100% D-Aspartic Acid with NO fillers.<h2>Recommended Use: </h2>As a dietary supplement, take 1 scoop one time per day with breakfast or your first meal of the day.<h2>Warning:</h2>You should not take D-Aspartic Acid if you have any prior medical condition, and should always consult your health practitioner before beginning any exercise or supplementation program.

Ursolic acid is a chemical compound found in many plants and it belongs to class of compounds called pentacyclic triterpene acids.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">This potent ingredient has the potential to transform your physique even without a change in diet. The researchers found that one of its main mechanisms is through enhancing the expression of muscular IGF-1 gene. The local production of IGF-1 in muscle is perhaps the single most instrumental process in the muscle hypertrophy response as it initiates the key steps of satellite cell recruitment into new myonuclei and protein synthesis via the kinase Akt.*Ursolic acid shrinks fat cells. It is believed that it achieves this by both enhancing lipolysis (fat burning) and blocking fatty acid synthesis. It may also affect fat stores by blocking the cortisol activating enzyme 11b-HSD1. With Ursobolic, the increased energy demands of simultaneous growing muscles will be fed by the body fat stores.*Interestingly, Ursolic acid has also been shown to be an effective blocker of the enzyme aromatase, so it has the potential to control estrogen production and maximize testosterone release.*<h2>Harvest the Physique Transforming Fruits of Genetic Technology:</h2>- Anti-Catabolic- Muscle Builder- Fat Burner- Non-Hormonal- Estrogen Control- Safe and NaturalWhat can I expect from Ursobolic?First of all, Ursolic acid is not a bulking product. Yes it builds muscle but it does not put massive amounts of weight on you. This is because muscle growth will be accompanied by fat loss. The scale may not change much but the mirror will reflect what is going on a dramatic change in body composition. You may experience a little bit of appetite suppression with Ursobolic as your body will be utilizing fat stores more efficiently for energy production.Ursobolic is fat soluble so for maximum absorption it should be taken with meals that contain a little bit of fat. The product is non-hormonal and safe, so it does not have to be cycled. <h2>Links to articles on Ursolic Acid:</h2><a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110607131718.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.sciencedaily.com</a><a href="http://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/retrieve/pii/S155041311100177X" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.cell.com</a><h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Container Size: 120 capsulesServing Size: 3 CapsulesServings Per Container: 40Provides per serve:Ursolic Acid ([from liquid] [600mg extract])........................1500mg Store in cool, dry place with lid tightly closed.

<div class="product-description">Chemists have estimated that between 5% and 75% of food eaten is digested by the enzymes that naturally occur in the food itself. The body relies on this help to reduce the amount of energy dependent digestive processes it must use. Modern storage, transportation, and cooking methods destroy most of these valuable plant enzymes. In addition, poor dietary choices, too much fat and sugar place a burden on digestion that the digestive system may not be able to handle. Lifestyle may further complicate the situation so that digestive complaints are one of the most common. When food is improperly digested, particles pass into the bloodstream resulting in immune system activation. Scientists have shown that food enzymes may be inactivated in the stomach but are reactivated in the alkaline environment of the intestines.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Container Size: 100 capsules Serving Size: 3 capsulesServings Per Container: 33Provides per serve:Total Calories......................................10 Total Carbohydrates............................2g Lactase (10350 FCC Units)............690mg <h2>Other Ingredients:</h2>Maltodextrin, Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate.<h2>Recommended Use: </h2>For individuals with lactose intolerance or difficulty in digesting dairy products.

<div class="product-description"><h2>E-Pharm Amp contains:</h2> Chocamine. Chocamine is the protein component in cocoa. Chocamine has been shown to be an effective appetite suppressant, potent CNS stimulant, lipolytic (fat mobilizer), and fatigue fighter. Geranamine (1,3-dimethylamylamine). Geranamine is a derivative of geranium oil which resembles the bodys own chemical messenger, epinephrine (adrenaline). Like adrenaline, Geranamine is a powerful CNS stimulant, for added energy, increased clarity and a boost in physical performance, especially valuable to athletes during calorie restriction or when a high level of focus is needed. For fat loss, Geranamine works through a similar chemical pathway as ephedrine, causing a rise in cAMP, the chemical messenger that triggers fat release. Caffeine works in synergy with Chocamine, and Geranamine as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, and fatigue fighter. It also prolong the lipolytic effect of both of the other two active ingredients in AMP. Potent CNS stimulant, for increased energy, incredible mental focus and concentration, increased lipolysis by increasing the chemical messenger (cAMP) that triggers fatty acid release from adipose tissue. Increased physical performance Appetite suppression Improved mood, sense of well-being Adrenaline mimetic <h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Container Size: 90 capsulesServing Size: 2 capsulesServings Per Container: 45 servesAmount per Serving:AMP proprietary blend.........625mgChocamine (Theobroma cacau seed)Geranamine *constituent of Geranium Oil)Caffeine AnhydrousTotal Amount of Caffeine Per Serving:....140mg<h2>Directions for use:</h2>As a dietary supplement, take 2-4 capsules a day.

If you are experienced with beta alanine go right to 1 full scoop (MESOMORPH contains 4000g per serving). If you are not experienced with beta alanine start with 1/2 scoop of MESOMORPH. If no tingling or discomfort occurs take 1 full scoop on the next dose and thereafter. If tingling does occur continue 1/2 scoop for 7-10 days then increase to 1 scoop (or as soon as possible).

Although it can be strong in some, it is not harmful in any way and will subside once body adjusts. <h2>Suggested use:</h2>After tolerance has been determined 40 minutes prior to workout, mix one scoop of MESOMORPH with 8-10 ounces of water, stir adequately and consume immediately on an empty stomach. On non-workout days, consume 1/2 scoop MESOMORPH mixed in water on an empty stomach. Although you will feel MESOMORPH from day 1, best results begin to occur at day 15 and continue to improve up to day 60. After 8 to 10 weeks, it is recommended that you discontinue use of MESOMORPH and take at least 8 to 10 weeks off before resuming use. During this "off period" you may take a non-creatine product such as PLASMAGEN NITRATE to experience continued progress.<h2>Warning: As with any supplement, check with your physician prior to use. Do not use this product if you have any current or previous medical condition of any kind. Such conditions may include but are not limited to high or low blood pressure, stroke, arrhythmias or palpitations. Any heart, thyroid, or liver condition. Seizures, anxiety or depression, prostate enlargement or inflammation. Do not use if you are nursing or pregnant. Do not use if you are taking an MAOI. If any adverse symptoms occur discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. Keep out of reach of children. DO NOT take for more than 8-10 weeks without an 8-10 week off period.</h2></div>

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00276-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" /><strong>Gaspari SuperPump MAX now instock.</strong> Whether you care about strength, performance, maintaining a lean and muscular physique, or increasing endurance, Super Pump MAX prides itself on being able to exceed your expectations. It does so by defying the new "concentrate" trend by providing you with a powerful array of ingredients that are properly dosed in a formula that tastes absolutely amazing.<br/><br/> How many pre-workout products that you know of use gram doses of the anabolic powerhouse l-leucine, nitric oxide inducing l-citrulline, l-taurine, the ground breaking ammonia scavenger l-ornithine-l-aspartate, l-carnitine-l-tartrate or powerful additions like PEAK ATP, Sustamine, or Oxytropis falcate? Actually, Superpump MAX is the only one. This product was formulated with the intention to deliver the proper doses of ingredients utilized in clinical research proven to increase athletic performance and recovery. Isnt that how all products should be formulated?<br/><br/>Believe it or not, this completely goes against the grain of conventional pre-workout supplement formulation that is all about giving you a stimulant buzz in the first dose and little else. In contrast, Gaspari Nutrition CEO Rich Gaspari wanted MAX to be the ultimate pre-workout product experience because he knows what its like to walk the walk as an IFBB Pro-Bodybuilding hall of famer. He just wouldnt have it any other way. He didnt ascend to the pinnacle of pro-bodybuilding by cutting corners and his products embrace the same philosophy. This is why Superpump MAX is soon to be regarded as the Concentrate Killer. <br/><br/>Once an athlete tries it out and goes to battle in the gym with it, theyll never train without it. For the unfortunate gym rats that bought into the concentrate hype, Superpump MAX will give them faith once again that some supplements actually do what they claim they will. Gaspari Nutrition wants to know what kind of athlete are you? If you train with MAX, youll have your answer.

<div class="product-description">WHAT DOES SUPERPUMP MAX DO? * Increases Endurance Capacity * Fights Muscle Soreness and Fatigue * Enhances Nitric Oxide Levels and VasodilationFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSQ: What does Gaspari Nutrition mean by asking What Kind Of An Athlete Are You?A: Lets be honest, you go to the gym to look your best and push yourself to the extreme. Unfortunately, a few companies have disgraced the pre-workout market with concentrated formulas that really dont support helping you look your best and to be a better athlete, rather they just crack you out. Thats all you can expect from under dosed formulas chock full of stimulants. SuperPump MAX can help you become the athlete youve always wanted to see in the mirror so we want to you to ask yourself, WHAT KIND OF ATHLETE ARE YOU?Q: Some products advertise they are concentrated and dont need large formula to get the job done for an athlete. Why dont you guys follow this line of thinking?A: We want to bring you the best and give you ingredients in the doses that actually increase your performance, your strength, and increase lean mass that is based on science, not smoke and mirrors. These concentrated formulas consist largely of stimulants with under dosed ingredients like beta-alanine and arginine alpha ketoglutarate (AAKG). As an example beta- alanine is clinically proven to work at 3.2 grams per day and should be used multiple times per day. That is why we include it in Anavite at the clinically validated dose and not under dosed in our pre-workout that is to be taken on training days only. AAKG must be used at 12 grams a day for an effect and its proven not do anything at 4 grams. These other companies utilizing ingredients like these in concentrated formulas are grossly under dosing them while making claims based on research that doesnt even apply to their formulas. This is downright deceptive and they prey on unsuspecting consumers. The math just doesnt add up so dont be fooled!Gaspari uses use clinically validated doses of citrulline, creatine, carnitine tartrate, leucine, etc to get the job done right; you have to use the correct doses which often cant be fit into one large scoop or into a 5-6 gram doses in the popular concentrates.Q: Why do you utilize so many vitamins and minerals in your formula?A: Certain minerals serve as electrolytes that help the body maintain proper muscle function and hydration while training. Ingredients like magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium are crucial to this process. We utilize the best forms of certain B-vitamins such as methylcobalamin (B12), inositol hexanicotinate (B3), and pyridoxal 5-phoshate (B6) to ensure proper absorption. These b-vitamins are crucial to energy metabolism, synthesis of new cells such as the red blood cells that carry oxygen to your muscles, and the repair of damaged cells to support recovery. There is nothing worse than cramping up or becoming dehydrated, is there? You want enhanced recovery dont you? You wont see these ingredients in the popular concentrate because they are expensive! How could they forget the electrolytes? Dont sell yourself short with pre-workouts that skimp out on these crucial factors youll need while training that will ensure you are the best athlete on the field, in the gym, or in the ring. <h2>NUTRITION FACTS</h2>Serving Size: 1 scoop (16 g)Servings Per Container: 10Provides per serve:Total Calories...............................................................10 Sodium....................................................................30mg Potassium................................................................20mg Total Carbohydrates.....................................................3g SUPER PUMP MAX Proprietary Blend...................11.3 gMyo Vol ElectroHYDRATION Complex L-taurine, calcium glycerophosphate, sodium glycerophosphate, sustamine (l-alanyl-l-glutamine), Di-magnesium malate, potassium phosphate.

Plus, because Balance Physique is low-carb, its low impact on blood sugar helps you manage cravings.<h2>Balance Physique FAQ</h2> How much soy lecithin is in Balance PHYSIQUE?Balance PHYSIQUE contains only a small amount of soy lecithin (less than 1%) to help with the mixing (ensuring the powder mixes well with the liquid, so you dont get lumpy bits). Is it ok for males to use Balance PHYSIQUE?Whilst Balance PHYSIQUE has been designed to fit with the nutritional requirements of women, males can also use this product. Will Balance PHYSIQUE make me big and muscly?Lots of women are worried that by increasing their protein intake (and in particular taking a protein powder) will make them look big and bulky. The reality is that to become big and muscly when youre a female requires a significant amount of weights work and hours upon hours each week in the gym. Just because of the way women are built and the way female hormones work, for the everyday active woman, this is simply a myth. Im pregnant/breastfeeding, can I take Balance PHYSIQUE?We dont recommend pregnant or breastfeeding mothers to use Balance PHYSIQUE. I cant drink milk, can I mix Balance PHYSIQUE powder with anything else?Absolutely. Balance PHYSIQUE is best shaken with milk to give you a more filling protein drink with addition calcium, however if required you can use water (which will give you a lower kilojoule, thinner liquid) or alternatively soy & rice milk can also be used. Why does Balance PHYSIQUE contain an artificial sweetener?Balance PHYSIQUE uses a very small amount of artificial (non-nutritive) sweetener (sucralose) to blend and create a great tasting high protein, low carb protein powder.Sucralose has been accepted by several national and international food safety regulatory bodies, including the Food Standards Australia-New Zealand (FSANZ), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization Expert Committee on Food Additives, The European Union's Scientific Committee on Food and Health Protection Branch of Health and Welfare Canada. What does it mean when people talk about a protein powder mixing well?Mixability is a term used a lot in the sports nutrition & fitness world to explain how well the powder mixes in with milk or water. Balance PHYSIQUE has great mixability, which means that weve formulated it especially so it blends well - without all of the lumpy bits you sometimes get from other powders<h2>Nutrition Information:</h2> Serving size: 30gServings per container: 16 servesProvides per serve:Energy...........................117calProtein...............................20.7Fat - total .........................2.0g- saturated........................1.4gCarbohydrate....................2.9g- sugars............................1.6gDietary fibre......................1.4gSodium...........................50mgPotassium.....................364mgSpecial Ingredients:Fructo-oligo-saccharides........................750mgL-Carnitine.............................................87.5mgHydroxycitric acid....................................250mgGreen Tea Extract (equiv to dry leaf)........375mg<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Balance Physique Whey Protein Powder Blend [Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate (Contains Soy Lecithin)], Cocoa Powder, Dietary Fibre (Fructooligosachharides), Flavour, Vegetable Gum (Carrageenan, Xanthan), Garcinia Cambogia Extract, Vitamins & Minerals (Milk Minerals, Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Aspartate, Vitamin C, Ferrous Fumarate, Nicotinamide, Vitamin E Acetate, Zinc Oxide, Riboflavin, Calcium-d-Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Manganese Sulfate, Thiamine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Vitamin A Acetate, Chromium Polynicotinate, Sodium Molybdate, Potassium Iodide, Biotin, Selenomethionine, Cyanocobalamin, Cholecalciferol), L-Carnitine Tartrate, Anticaking Agent (Silicon Dioxide), Sweetener (Sucralose), Green Tea Extract.CONTAINS: Milk & Soy Products.Latte Kick Contains Caffeine (24mg/serve)<h2>Directions</h2>To make a Balance Physique Shake, blend or shake 30g (3 level scoops) with 200mL of trim milk or water until mixed.

Reactiv Defining Whey is ideal and is NZ through and through - and it's totally free from hormones (you know, the ones in dodgy US whey). <br/>Reactiv Defining Whey is made right here in Aotearoa using Whey sourced from local dairy farms with healthy, grass fed cows. This means you're safe from exposure to rBGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone). Most protein powders are made from ingredients produced in the US where laws allow cows to be injected with rBGH. rBGH stimulates greater production of milk and has been described as 'crack' for cows causing suffering for millions of animals by making them sick. For the sake of your health choosing NZ produced whey is a no brainer. <br/><br/>- Perfect for lean muscle gain, or weight loss<br/>- Naturally high bio-activity whey protein powder<br/>- Delicious and smooth mixing<br/>- Packed with BCAAs, EAAs, and L-Glutamine<br/>- From grass fed, healthy New Zealand cows (no hormones)<br/>- Low carbs (no sugar) and low fat<br/>- No scary Aspartame (951) OR Acesulphame K (950)

<div class="product-description"><h2>Ripped Freak Hybrid Science</h2>Methyl Gallate Esters - The Latest Innovation in Fat-Loss Supplementation!By Don Gauvreau MSc., BA, CSCSWith so many new research findings every year, it's hard to keep up-to-date with the latest in supplement science. That being said, if your goal is to develop a ripped-to-the-bone physique, then the right supplements can go a long way in helping you maximize fat loss! So, what are some of the most effective fat-burning compounds currently available on the market? Well, the latest research is pointing directly at some newly created ingredients called "hybrid lipolytic compounds." You're probably wondering what the heck are "hybrid lipolytic compounds" and how are they going to help you increase fat loss? Well, read on and get the inside scoop on this latest innovation in fat-loss supplementation!What Exactly is a Hybrid Compound?"Hybrid Compound" is a term that's been coined by a team of leading pharmaceutical and organic chemists working in the sports supplement industry. A hybrid is defined as a compound derived from nature that's been organically altered or synthesized to deliver more powerful effects! The first class of hybrid compounds ever created is a group of fat-loss ingredients that have been bonded to the methyl gallate ester. When bonded to established fat-burning ingredients, the methyl gallate ester provides several key advantages!An Inside Look at the Methyl Gallate EsterThe methyl gallate ester increases the effectiveness of ingredients in two unique ways, (1) it increases their bioavailability, and 2) it extends their active half-life in the body. You see, the introduction of a methyl group to a fat-burning compound has the ability to increase its lipophilicity. In laymen's terms, this means the compound has a greater ability to penetrate fatty membranes. Since the biological membranes (walls) of all cells in the human body are made up of fat the methyl gallate ester will increase the absorption of ingredients into target cells resulting in greater fat loss effects!The methyl gallate ester also increases the bioavailability of ingredients through another distinct mechanism. It has the ability to inhibit the enzymes responsible for compound biotransformation in the gut. As you may already know, many supplements are degraded in the stomach immediately after they're ingested, so they have little (if any) affect on fat loss in the body. Since the methyl gallate ester inhibits degradation of ingredients in the gut, they can be more effectively absorbed and distributed throughout the body to their target tissues. This means more powerful effects and a greater impact on total fat burning capacity!RIPPED FREAK - The World's First Hybrid Fat BurnerPharmaFreak Technologies Inc. is the first company to introduce "hybrid lipolytic compounds" to the market with the launch of RIPPED FREAK. The PharmaFreak R&D team is the first to discover the benefits of using the methyl gallate ester and have combined it with key fat-burning compounds found only in the RIPPED FREAK formula! On top of that, the RIPPED FREAK formula also contains five newly discovered methylated derivatives of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) from green tea extract. As already explained, the methyl groups increase the lipophilicity and absorption into target cells, making the five EGCG derivatives found in RIPPED FREAK superior to the regular form of EGCG found in all other fat burners!The Final Word on Fat LossNow that you understand the latest research behind these unique hybrid-drug compounds you'll definitely want to include them in your fat-fighting arsenal. Just remember, RIPPED FREAK is the only product on the market that contains the methyl gallate esters - don't be fooled by cheap imitations or knock-offs! Give RIPPED FREAK a try. After just one dose you'll quickly begin to realize just how powerful it really is!<h2>RIPPED FREAK FAQs</h2>Consult a physician before starting any exercise, nutrition and supplementation program.HOW DOES RIPPED FREAK WORK?RIPPED FREAKs unbelievably powerful formula stimulates fat burning by maximizing levels of the bodys 2 most powerful fat-burning hormones, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). Not only does RIPPED FREAK stimulate a massive increase in epinephrine and norepinephrine release, but it also prevents the breakdown of, epinephrine and norepinephrine. The end result is maximum fat-burning capacity in the body!The RIPPED FREAK formula also uses the methyl gallate ester, which is a technology commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. The methyl gallate ester increases the lipophilicity and absorption of ingredients into biological membranes, which provides superior bioavailability and extends the half-life of RIPPED FREAKs fat-burning compounds in the body. This is why you only need one capsule of RIPPED FREAK per dose because these unique ingredients provide long-lasting fat-burning effects in the body all day long!HOW DO YOU USE RIPPED FREAK?Take 1 serving of RIPPED FREAK (1 capsule) with 8 ounces of water 2 times daily, on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before you eat a meal. Take your first serving of RIPPED FREAK (1 capsule) first thing in the morning 30 minutes before breakfast and take your second serving (1 capsule) mid-afternoon. On workout days, take 1 serving (1 capsule) 30-60 minutes before your workout. WARNING: To assess your individual tolerance, start by taking only 1 capsule daily, first thing in the morning and NEVER exceed recommended dosage. Drink at least ten 8-ounce glasses of water daily. Read the entire label before use and follow the directions. For maximum results, combine RIPPED FREAK with a healthy diet and a hardcore training program.DO YOU NEED TO CYCLE RIPPED FREAK?You can continuously use RIPPED FREAK for up to 8 to 12 weeks straight. After using for 8 to 12 weeks, you will want to take an off-cycle of 2 to 4 weeks. For example, 8 weeks ON, followed by 2 weeks OFF or 12 weeks ON, followed by 4 weeks OFF.CAN RIPPED FREAK BE STACKED WITH OTHER SUPPLEMENTS?Yes. RIPPED FREAK can be stacked with other nutritional supplements. Many bodybuilders are now stacking RIPPED FREAK with TEST FREAK the worlds strongest test-boosting supplement, for the ultimate fat-burning/muscle-building stack!WILL RIPPED FREAK CAUSE AN ENERGY CRASH?No! The methyl gallate ester found in the RIPPED FREAK formula provides a natural time-released effect, and therefore users will not experience a crash in energy, which is common with many other fat burner products. Instead, RIPPED FREAK users experience a consistent steady stream of energy and fat-burning for 8 to 12 hours!ASIDE FROM FAT BURNING, ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF USING RIPPED FREAK?Yes! RIPPED FREAK can give you an incredible boost pre-workout. Many athletes and bodybuilding use RIPPED FREAK to maximize strength, power, intensity and endurance. In fact, after just one dose of RIPPED FREAK, many users experience up to a 40% increase in strength and muscular endurance!IS IT OKAY TO USE RIPPED FREAK IF I AM SUBJECT TO DRUG TESTING?Anyone subject to banned substance or drug testing should check with their sport's respective governing body before using this product or any other dietary supplements. Read the entire label before use including risk information and follow directions.</div>

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00263-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />Caution all Natural Tested Atheletes - You may be jeopardising your sporting career with some dietary supplements that contain a Banned Stimulant. 1-3-Dimethylamylamine (DMAA)/ aka Geranium Extract / aka Dimethylpentylamine (DMPA) / aka Methylhexanamine or anything that states Geranium on the label is banned as a stimulant by many sporting federations. Do not use this if you are in tested in competitive sports as you will return a positive test. <br/><br/>WADA (World Anti Doping Association), ASADA (Australian Anti Doping) and Drug Free Sport New Zealand have this on their banned list and if you are drug tested for your sport you will test positive for a Stimulant. This includes Rugby, Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Athletics, Triathlon, Cycling, Soccer, Bowling etc<br/>With many high profile athletes recently blaming a positive drug test on the use of a dietary supplement containing DMAA you need to be aware of this before using any products with this ingredient as you will get caught. If you have any uncertainty about the supplements you are using please contact us with any questions.

It can thrive even in desert climates and poor soil.<br/><br/>Uses:<br/>Tribulus terrestris has long been used as a tonic and aphrodisiac in Indian ayurveda practice, where it is known by its Sanskrit name, "gokshura".It is now being promoted as a booster for the purpose of increasing sex drive. Its use for this purpose originated in Eastern Europe in the 1970's. Independent studies have suggested that Tribulus terrestris extract slightly increases hormone levels, though leaving them in the normal range.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Some have compared the tonic properties of Tribulus terrestris to the effects of ginseng, but these occur due to entirely different mechanisms. It is also claimed that Tribulus terrestris increases testosterone by increasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn stimulates the production of LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Testosterone, besides its role in muscle-building and raising fertility and libido, is also known to have a positive effect on bone marrow activity (for red blood cell production) and the immune system.Muira Puma:Muira puma, also called 'potency wood' is a herb native to the Amazonian rain basin.UsesMuira Puma - an all natural herb that was shown in a 1989 clinical study done by Dr. Watson in Paris, France to provide an erection for 62% of the men studied. These men were originally suffering from complete impotence and they reported that after just 3 months of using the Muira Puma alone, they achieved a full erection and a restored sex life. Tongkat Ali/Eurycoma LongifoliaIt is a small evergreen tree growing to 15 m tall, with spirally arranged, pinnate leaves 20-40 cm long with 13-41 leaflets. The flowers are dioecious, with male and female flowers on different trees; they are produced in large panicles, each flower with 5-6 very small petals. The fruit is green ripening dark red, 1-2 cm long and 0.5-1 cm broad.Uses:Eurycoma longifolia (Tongkat Ali) has become popular for its alleged testosterone-enhancing properties. It has therefore been included in some herbal supplements for bodybuilders. Historically, it has been used by the folk medicine in its countries of origin as a libido enhancer and to treat various sexual dysfunctions. Numerous scientific studies performed by Malaysian scientists suggest that it enhances sexual characteristics and performance in animal models.In Southeast Asia it is used as a post partum medication, as well as for its antimalarial, antipyretic, antiulcer, cytotoxic and aphrodisiac properties.It is important to note that most if not all of the tests performed to date were by Malaysian scientists.The raw samples used were from roots of the Malaysian Eurycoma Longifolia species.In both animals and humans, the extract increases muscle mass. The British Journal of Sports Medicine published the results of a scientific study in 2003, which showed that Eurycoma longifolia caused increased muscle strength and size when compared to a placebo. This demonstrates the anabolic properties of this herb. Thanks to this discovery, a growing number of Asian athletes and body builders now use the extract as an androgen, to improve muscle size and strength, and to enhance sports performance. Epimedium/Horny Goat Weed:Epimedium is a genus of about 60 or more species of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Berberidaceae. The large majority are endemic to southern China, with further outposts in Europe, and central, southern and eastern Asia.Epimedium species are hardy perennials. The majority have four petaled "spider-like" flowers in spring. Many are believed to be aphrodisiacs.Uses:Many species of Epimedium are alleged to have aphrodisiac qualities. According to legend, this property was discovered by a Chinese goat herder who noticed sexual activity in his flock after they ate the weed. It is sold as a health supplement, usually in raw herb or pill form and sometimes blended with other supplements. The over-exploitation of wild populations of Epimedium for use in traditional Chinese medicine is having potentially serious consequences for the long-term survival of several species, none of which are widely cultivated for medicinal purposes.The "active ingredient" in Epimedium is icariin, which can be found in standardized extracts from 5% up to 60% potent. Strengths above that are usually reserved for lab use.Icariin is purported to work by increasing levels of nitric oxide, which relax smooth muscle. It has been demonstrated to relax rabbit penile tissue by nitric oxide and PDE-5 activity. Other research has demonstrated that injections of Epimedium extract, directly into the penis of the rat results in an increase in penile blood pressure.Like Viagra, icariin, the active compound in Epimedium, inhibits the activity of PDE-5. In vitro assays have demonstrated that icariin inhibits PDE-5 with an IC50 of around 1 micromolar, while Viagra has an IC50 of about 6.6 nanomolar (.0066 micromolar) and Levitra has an IC50 of about 0.7 nanomolar (.0007 micromolar). Measured differently, the EC50 of icariin is approximately 4.62 micromolar, while Viagra is .42 micromolar.<h2>NUTRITION FACTS:</h2>Provides per serve:Tribulus..........................3000mgMuira Puma......................500mgTongat Ali........................300mgHorny Goat Weed.............400mg<h2>Directions:</h2>For best results take 2 capsules at least 1 horu before activity with a large glass of water on an empty stomach.<h1>CAUTION</h1>Do not use if you have androgen sensitive tumours, high blood pressure or are on Warfarin </div>

<div class="product-description"><h2>GU ENERGY GEL BENEFITS:</h2>During a workout or race, no matter what type, you need to quickly absorb carbohydrate-based calories to replace the glucose you are burning at 400 - 600 per hour or you will begin to lose concentration and energy. The fat, fiber and protein found in bars are very slow to absorb and create unwanted bulk in the stomach. GU is created for the body during exercise, and because of its form and ingredients is absorbed much faster than a bar so you will feel the energy almost immediately.GU Energy Gel contains maltodextrin, the best complex carbohydrate for delivering energy to working muscles. GU also contains the optimal balance of carbohydrates for the body during exercise: 80% complex/20% simple. It is this balance of maltodextrin and fructose in GU that delivers a quick rise in blood sugar and maintains that glucose level for up to 45 minutes during exercise.By simply adding GU to your normal workout routine - one packet 15 minutes before starting then one packet every 45 minutes or so - you will feel strong and energized, be able to maintain your effort throughout the workout, feel better when you finish, and recover quickly for your next workout. If you want to have a good workout you have to supply your body with the right fuel - GU Energy Gel.<h2>How to Use GU Energy Gel</h2>Follow these three simple steps to maximize your athletic performance:1. Top off your energy stores by taking one packet of GU 15 minutes before exercise, preferably on an empty stomach for fastest absorption.2. For sustained energy consume one packet of GU every 35-45 minutes during exercise, washing it down with a few mouthfuls of water or GU2O hydration drink to speed absorption.3. Speed recovery and reduce post-exercise fatigue by eating one packet of GU within 30 minutes of finishing your workout. This takes advantage of the post-exercise time window when your body replenishes lost glycogen most efficiently.<h2>GU Energy Gel Ingredients:</h2>Carbohydrates:Carbohydrates provide the quick, sustained energy source in GU. 85% are complex carbohydrates from maltodextrin and 15% are simple carbohydrates from fructose.Amino Acids:Leucine and Valine are two vital amino acids in GU that help maintain muscle protein and aid with recovery.Antioxidants:Vitamins C and E are important antioxidants in GU. They help protect against tissue damage from free radicals, which are produced by the muscle's burning of oxygen. GU contains 100% RDI of vitamins C & E in each packet to protect your tissues, help reduce soreness and aid with recovery.Muscle Buffers:Histidine, another amino acid in GU, buffers against lactic acid buildup in your muscles. This helps alleviate muscle fatigue while exercising and soreness during recovery. GU is the only gel that contains histidine.Herbal Blend:GU's unique herbal blend combines the perfect fusion of herbs for energy-enhancement (cola-nut), anti-inflammatory (chamomile), and stomach buffering (ginger).Caffeine:Espresso Love contains an added jolt of 40 mg of caffeine, while Strawberry Banana and Lemon Sublime have none at all. All other flavors contain 20mg (equivalent to 1/5 cup of coffee) per serving from cola-nut. The caffeine level in GU is not enough to give a "caffeine rush," but is added to help you utilize body fat as an additional fuel source during activity. <h2>Nutrition Information:</h2>Serving Size: 1 Sachet (32g)Provides per Serve:Energy...............................420Kj (100Cal)Protein..........................................0gFat..............................................0gCarbohydrate - Total............................25g- Sugars.........................................2gVitamin C......................................40mgVitamin E......................................10mgSodium.........................................50mgPotassium......................................40mg<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Maltodextrin (Glucose Polymers), Filtered Water, Fructose, GU Amino Acid Blend (Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine, Histidine), GU Antioxidant Blend (Natural Vitamin E and Vitamin C), Potassium and Sodium Citrate, Calcium Carbonate, Fumaric Acid, Sea Salt, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, GU Herbal Blend (Chamomile, Ginger), Natural Lemon Lime Flavour, Pectin.Contains Preservatives (202. 211)</div>

<div class="product-description">FitPLUS performs a calendar reminder of your natural metabolic changes through the month so that you can optimise the best days of the month for exercise and dieting. Not all days are equal! At certain phases of the month the effect of a diet and exercise programme is much more effective in producing adaptational results including a higher rate of calorie burning and low sense of fatigue from hard training. Other days you can let up a little due to your efforts being less effective. The monitor displays a unique traffic light of green for go for it; Amber for taking it a little easier; And red for give yourself a break the best time to recover in your structured training cycle.Your training effect is maximised.This is another world first from TANITA we feel will be very popular.<br/><br/>All of the revolutionary new Tanita InnerScan Bodfat monitors provide information never before available from a consumer scale. Anyone who is serious about improving their total health and fitness will be able to see their personal progress. The monitors use Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) to monitor multiple components of overall health. The results are analyzed along with gender, age, height and weight for the most accurate and comprehensive at-home reading ever available. Measurements include Weight, Body Fat %, Body Water %, Basal Metabolic Rate, Metabolic Age, Bone Mass, Muscle Mass, Physique Rating, and exclusive to Tanita Visceral Fat Rating. <h2>FitPLUS </h2>A monthly calendar based training guide specifically for active women. FitPLUS is a totally unique feature designed specifically for women. FitPLUS acts as a calendar reminder to monitor the natural metabolic changes throughout the month so that you can correlate this with how your body responds to diet and exercise. Your cycle start date can be input each month so the indicators change accordingly. Easy and quick to use, with a distinctive traffic light system, FitPLUS gives healthy prompts at the different phases of the menstrual cycle, including ovulation, to help you to maximise calorie burn and minimise fatigue.By harnessing and understanding your natural cycle, FitPLUS gives the active woman a personal diary on her body composition monitor to maximise and maintain her health.<h2>Basic TANITA Monitor features:</h2> Bodyfat % Body water % Healthy Range Indicator are you at high or low risk of serious disease?

This combination provides results clearly superior to other d-aspartic acid product formulations.<br/><br/>In case you arent aware, d-aspartic acid is the hottest supplement ingredient on the market right now. It has more scientific literature supporting its ability to act as a natural regulator of Test release in the body than any supplement ingredient EVER. <br/><br/>E-Pharm was the company to bring you the premium form of d-aspartic acid d-aspartate calcium chelate. This form is more than 75 times as water soluble as regular d-aspartic acid and soluble over a wide pH range. This ensures the most rapid and complete absorption possible. And now E-Pharm has taken the lead in d-aspartic acid technology again with the patent pending addition of the amino acid sarcosine.<br/><br/>Please allow me to explain why the inclusion of sarcosine is so vital to getting the most out of d-aspartic acid.

<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Why Sarcosine?Let me start with some background. When d-aspartic acid (DAA) is ingested it is absorbed into the body and taken up preferentially by endocrine tissues such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, and testicles. There it stimulates the activity of what are known as NMDA receptors. NMDA receptors are located on neurons and they regulate neuronal activity. DAA binds to a specific docking site (receptor) located on the NMDA receptor known as NMDA binding site.In the hypothalamus the stimulation of NMDA receptors leads to the production of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH then stimulates the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). LH and FSH then in turn travel to the testicles to initiate the process of steroidogenesis, which leads eventually to the release of test into the blood stream. Stimulation of NMDA receptors in the hypothalamus also leads to the release of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) which in turn promotes the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.So the key here is the NMDA receptor. The more you activate this receptor in the hypothalamus the greater the release of GnRH and GHRH, and ultimately Test and G H.The NMDA receptor is somewhat unique in that it requires activation by two ligands (a ligand is like a key to a receptor). In the hypothalamus the main ligand for the NMDA receptor is d-aspartic acid. The secondary ligand (or co-activator) is the amino acid glycine. Both DAA and glycine have specific binding sites on the NMDA receptor. These sites are known as the NMDA binding site and the glycine binding site respectively. Think of it this way - just like how firing a nuclear missile requires two soldiers to turn two separate keys, so the NMDA receptor requires binding by two ligands to initiate its influence on the firing of a neuronal signal.So to review, administration of DAA leads to its uptake into the hypothalamus and binding to the NMDA receptors there. And to activate the NMDA receptor you also require adequate levels of ligands that bind to the glycine site of the NMDA receptor. Now common sense would lead one to assume that by ingesting supplemental amounts of glycine would ensure that glycine site co-activation is ensured. However the scientific literature has shown that this method has limited efficacy.The reason that glycine administration is not very effective at stimulating NMDA activity is not completely straight forward, but one reason is because it is efficiently removed from the synapses by the reuptake regulator Glycine Transporter 1 (GT1). Interestingly, much of the science published on the subject of stimulation of NMDA receptor activity revolves around the theory that NMDA receptor hypo-activity is a causative factor in schizophrenia. For years scientists have been investigating ways to stimulate NMDA activity as a means for treating schizophrenic patients. One of the most effective strategies has been through targeting the GT1 protein. And one of the most efficient means to do this is actually through supplementation with sarcosine.Of course we arent concerned about treating schizophrenia here, what we are concerned with is maximally stimulating natural production of Test. But the mechanism in question is exactly the same for both purposes. By blocking the re-uptake of glycine you increase the concentration of glycine in neuronal synapses, and therefore increase the influence of NMDA upon nerve transmission. In essence this is the exact way some anti-depressants (such as SSRIs) work, except the goal there is to increase binding and activating of serotonin or dopamine receptors, not NMDA receptors. Blocking glycine reuptake is not the only mechanism through which sarcosine stimulates DAA activity. Sarcosine actually can itself bind to the glycine binding site of NMDA receptors. In fact, it binds with a higher affinity than even glycine. So basically it replaces glycine as well as serves as its own reuptake inhibitor. It totally solves the glycine co-activation issue in one shot.Knowing all these facts you can see why sarcosine produces a rather dramatic effect on NMDA neuronal transmission compared to glycine itself, or other endogenous ligands for the glycine receptor such as d-serine.ConclusionTo summarize, for d-aspartic acid to work to its maximum potential it must be taken with an efficient stimulator of the glycine binding site on the NMDA receptor. The most efficient non-drug stimulator we know of is the natural amino acid sarcosine. TestForce2 contains 3 grams of d-aspartic acid (as d-aspartate calcium chelate) and 3 grams of sarcosine per serving. It also is flavored with a light fruit punch flavor and slightly sweetened to provide a very pleasurable taste experience. It dissolves almost instantly.So if you like d-aspartic acid you will love TestForce2. And if you were one of the few non-responders to d-aspartic acid then you will also love TestForce2 because you will no longer be a non-responder. You would be a fool to settle for any other d-aspartic acid supplement.<h2>What is D-Aspartic acid?</h2>D-aspartic acid is the enantiomer of the dietary amino acid l-aspartic acid. Essentially this means it is the mirror image of L-aspartic acid. D-aspartic acid occurs naturally in the bodies of animals and is made by the action of the enzyme d-aspartic racemase upon dietary l-aspartic acid. D-aspartic acid is known to concentrate most specifically in neuroendocrine tissues such as the pituitary gland, pineal gland, and testes.Recent research has shown the d-aspartic acid serves as a specialized neurotransmitter in parts of the nervous system involved in hormone production. It has been shown to stimulate the release of LH and GH from the pituitary gland. Furthermore, it has also been demonstrated to have a direct stimulating effect in the testes upon Test production.A recent study was published (Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology 2009, 7:120) that clearly demonstrated oral administration of d-aspartic acid increases Test in humans, lending credence to the claim of my patent application.This study, done in Italy, showed that doses of almost 4 grams a day resulted in a rise of Test that peaked on day 12 (the last day of the study) at a level 42% greater than day zero. LH levels were also increased significantly. The study used 23 men, with all but three of them showing significant increases in Test. Furthermore, the levels of Test were still significantly increased three days after discontinuation of the d-aspartic acid. The data in the study strongly indicates that the amino acid builds up in target tissues over time, and then slowly decreases after administration is ceased.<h2>D-Aspartic Acid Calcium Chelate</h2>To get the most benefit from D-aspartic acid you must use a form that is highly soluble and bioavailable. <strong> Unfortunately, straight D-aspartic acid has terrible water solubility (less than 1 gram will dissolve in 220 milliliters of water). This means that it basically sits in your digestive tract as a gritty powder and absorbs very slowly and erratically. Furthermore, at higher dosages this powder can cause digestive disturbances in susceptible individuals.</strong>Fortunately I found out how to solve the d-aspartic acid solubility problem. What I did was make what is known as a calcium chelate of the amino acid. What that achieved was increasing the water solubility from less than 1 gram/200 milliliters to practically limitless. See a side by side comparison. It was quite a remarkable achievement. What is also remarkable about this chelate is that it happens to be stable over a very wide pH range. Once converted to this calcium chelate the amino acid became much more user friendly, as well as more quickly absorbable, and quite possibly more bioavailable. In addition to that, you get a healthy dose of highly bioavailable calcium with each dose.<h2>TESTFORCE: The Way To Go</h2>TESTFORCE is simply d-aspartic calcium chelate powder and nothing else. It comes with a 3 gram scoop. The powder dissolves practically instantly in any beverage and it is essentially tasteless. It is recommended that people take 1-2 servings a day, and often users may find it advantageous to load with 2 servings (6 grams) a day for two to four weeks and then coast with 1 serving (3 grams) a day for the remainder of the cycle. Cycles can last anywhere from 3 weeks to indefinitely, since this product works with your body and is completely natural.*Patent Pending<h2>Nutrition Facts</h2>Container Size: 182 gramsServing Size: 7000mg (2 Scoops)Servings Per Container: 26Provides per serve:D-Aspartic acid (as D-Aspartate Calcium Chelate).......3000mg Sarcosine.....................................................................3000mg Calcium (as D-Aspartate Calcium Chelate).....................451mg *Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. <h2>Recommended Use:</h2>LOADING: Consume 2 scoops twice a day for one to three weeks.

L-carnitine can help the body utilise stored fat for fuel, breaking down and helping your body burn away your fat stores. Recent research suggests that L-carnitine works most effectively on low calorie diets.To be utilised as energy fat must first be broken down into its basic units - fatty acids.These fatty acids must enter the "energy factory" in the human cells - the mitochondria. Fatty acids cannot enter the mitochondria alone, they must first bind to a unit of L-Carnitine.L-carnitine PLUS also contains added Chromium which may help stabilise blood sugar levels reducing the potential for fat storage and helping to stabilise energy levels.

<div class="product-description">The biggest factor in this is making a synergistic formula. Not just a bunch of ingredients thrown together haphazardly.Combine the correct ingredients in the correct amounts and you truly get 1 + 1 = 5!Motivation and Energy in the TankWhile some products may cause the excitation you need to get motivated to get into the gym and move weight around, but unless you also have some "energy in the tank" you're not going to perform your best....Yet, with the key ingredients in USPlabs Jack3d, you'll not only have to force yourself to get out of the gym, but you'll get more repetitions in while you're there. More repetitions will ultimately lead to more muscle mass.In essence, this product hits both angles, allowing you to increase strength, power, focus and stamina, while providing the motivation to get into the gym. The end result can lead to better performance in the gym and ultimately, more muscle mass.<h3>ENDORPHIN SYSTEMS TIP</h3>DMAA is a powerful Central nervous system stimulant and appetite suppressant. We do not recommend Jack3d for use on a daily basis for extended periods as the body may develop a tolerance. Due to the powerful CNS stimulant effect we also do not recommend using Jack3d on a regular basis during a mass gain phase or serious muscle development program as the increase in BMR will reduce mass gain effects.<h3>BENEFITS OF USP LABS Jack3d:</h3> Significantly enhances intensity, strength, energy, power, endurance, pumps and recovery. No sugars. No calories. No Maltodextrin. No Magnesium. No dangerous dyes. No filler ingredients. 3 systems are augmented to work together so they can keep up with each other during the workout. This is true synergism. Great taste. Ultra-concentrated needs only 4-8 ounces of water per level 3 scoop serving. Great pre-workout product.<h3>Nutrition Facts:</h3>Serving Size: 1 Scoop (5.55g)Servings Per Container: 45Provides per serve:Proprietary Blend.................4145.00mg arginine alpha-ketoglutarate creatine monohydratebeta alaninecaffeine 1,3-dimethylamylamine [geranium {stem}]shizandrol A <strong>Jack3d may contain ingredients banned by certain sports organizations.

<div class="product-description"><h2>Whats in the Box:</h2> Polar RS300X training computer Polar WearLink+ transmitter Polar G1 GPS sensor (rrp $349.95) Manual(Please Note: Flow Link Unit Not Included, Available seperately rrp $100.00.)<h2>TECHNICAL STUFF:</h2>Body measurement features Automatic age-based target zone bpm / %To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone. Average and maximum heart rate of each lap Average and maximum heart rate of training Heart rate bpm / % Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute or as percentage of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed as a percentage of your heart rate reserve, meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). In Polar software or during strength training, heart rate can be displayed as a graphical trend. HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm. HRmax (age-based) The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training as intensity zones can be defined using HRmax. Some Polar products define maximum heart rate during the Polar Fitness Test, see also HRmax (Polar Fitness Test -based). HRmax (Polar Fitness test-based) Some Polar products predict your HRmax simultaneously with the Polar Fitness Test. This predicted HRmax value is more accurate than the age-based formula (220 minus age). Manual target zone bpm / % This feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%). Polar Fitness Test Polar Fitness Test measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. All you need is your training computer. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal fitness test. The test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability at rest and personal information. Polar OwnCal calorie expenditure Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions. Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned. Polar OwnCode (5kHz) coded transmission Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding prevents interference from other training computers. Polar OwnZone personal heart rate zone Polar OwnZone determines your personal heart rate limits for a training session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state may vary, for instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not fully recovered from your latest training session, Polar can determine that information from your heart rate and guide you to your ideal training zone for that moment. Polar sport zones Polar sport zones provide an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow sport zones based training programs. Training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70%HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90%HRmax) and maximum (90-100%HRmax).Data transfer Compatible with polarpersonaltrainer.com opt. with Polar FlowLink<h2>G1 GPS sensor features</h2> Distance training, lap, and total Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset. Speed-based target zones with visual and audible alarm You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm. Speed/Pace current, average and maximum Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.<h2>Recording features</h2> Totals Totals includes your training data starting from the last reset enabling you to follow your long-term training. Training files (with summaries) 16 Weekly history Weekly history gathers your weekly training data. By selecting a week, you can review your training data for the week.<h2>Training features</h2> Automatic lap recording With this feature you can set your training computer to take laps based on preset distance, for example, every 1 km/mi. Display zoom Display zoom feature allows you to zoom in information on the display during training. Graphical target zone indicator This feature points out graphically on the display the zone you are in during a training session helping you to stay on the desired intensity zone. HeartTouch button-free operation of wrist unit When HeartTouch is on, different training information during training can be accessed without pressing buttons, for instance, when gloves make pressing buttons difficult, by bringing your training computer close to your transmitter. Interval trainer guided workouts heart rate / pace / distance Create interval guided workouts based on time, heart rate, speed/pace or distance guidance with up to three linked timers or distances and up to three target zones. Number of laps 99 Time and distance based interval timers Use timers, for example, as a training tool in interval training to tell you when to switch from a harder to a lighter period and vice versa. The timers can be time- or distance- based. User configurable displays two lines This feature allows you to configure training computer displays to show the information that you need during your training session. Configure the displays either in the training computer or in ProTrainer 5 software. ZoneLock ZoneLock feature helps you to accumulate certain intensity. You can either lock a zone before a training session or during it by pressing a button when you are on the desired zone. * ZonePointer ZonePointer is a visible and moving symbol on the training computer display indicating whether you are inside the pre-set target zone. This feature helps you to reach the desired intensity/pace/speed/cadence targets.<h2>Watch features</h2> Backlight Date and weekday indicator Display text in English, German, French, and Spanish KeyLock By activating KeyLock, training computer buttons are locked, and accidental presses do not cause problems, for instance, during training. StopWatch Stopwatch can be used for timing, for instance, recording lap times. In some products, StopWatch tells the total training time.

<div class="product-description"><h2>BENEFITS OF 2XU COMPRESSION SHORTS</h2> 50 Denier Construction Circular Knit Anti Bacterial DVT protection on long flights. 24/7 DurabilityIMPROVED CIRCULATIONFaster warm up and enhanced overall circulation. Graduated compression of the limbs actively encourages and increases venous return to the heart and lymph to the lymph nodes.2XU DVTDeep Vein Thrombosis is a condition that mainly affects the lower body and is associated with long periods of travel or inactivity. 2XU Compression garments enhance blood flow in these areas through enhanced venous return, reducing the risk of DVT.IMPROVED RECOVERYTherapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefit by helping the pumping action of the cardiovascular system; removing blood lactate from exercising muscles leading to faster muscle repair.2XU ANTI BACTERIALEmbedded with an anti-bacterial, odour resistant application, 2XU Compression can help minimise odour and prevent bacterial growth.REDUCED FATIGUEDuring exercise, your muscles are exposed to forces that cause vibration. This major cause of muscle fatigue, known as muscle oscillation, can be reduced when wearing compression garments. This leads to improved muscle endurance, strength and power.2XU SUN PROTECTIONUPF50+. Through the fabric composition of Nylon and Lycra, our compression garments offer increased protection from harmful UV rays.HEIGHTENED AGILITYHeightened proprioception increases senses and awareness for enhanced stability and agility. Proprioception can also help with improved technique as you remain aware of your body's positioning, improving the balance control system and muscle coordination.2XU MOISTURE MANAGEMENT2XU Compression fabrics channel moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable.REDUCED DAMAGE2XU Compression features muscle containment properties which reduce muscle damage. By reducing muscle damage during exercise and minimizing swelling post-exercise, 2XU Compression can significantly reduce the severity and duration of exercise induced muscle injury and soreness such as Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).2XU COMFORTIn all 2XU Compression garments, reinforced flat lock stitching is used to combine strength with comfort. Use of flat lock stitching helps reduce chaffing and enables the garments to be used in a variety of sports and activities where comfort is essential.2XU GRADUATED PRESSURE2XU's graduated compression technology delivers regulated pressure throughout our garments to deliver performance benefits during and post exercise. By enhancing circulation through increased venous function, more oxygenated blood is delivered to the muscles that need it most. At the same time, by-products created by exercise, such as lactic acid, are flushed from the muscles to reduce fatigue and decrease recovery time.2XU MUSCLE STABILITYDuring exercise, muscle vibration is a large contributor to muscle fatigue and damage. 2XU Compression stabilizes these muscles, enhancing power and reducing fatigue.2XU MADEUsing our exclusive high performance fabric, 2XU Compression garments are engineered to fit tight, whilst maintaining comfort and allowing free range of movement during exercise and long periods of wear.2XU CLIMATEThrough heightened circulation, 2XU Compression regulates your body temperature in both hot and cold conditions. Using and enhancing your body's natural cooling and heating mechanisms, 2XU Compression ensures you remain comfortable in a range of climates.</div>

If you dont, it was probably the most effective weight loss/energy/stimulant product this industry has ever seen. Its components were Ephedrine, Caffeine and Aspirin (and later replaced by White Willow Bark). Since its dubious departure no fat burning products have been able to replicate its performance.</strong><br/>Advanced Muscle Science has recreated the hallowed ECA stack with the only compound to approach the strength of ephedrine in stimulation and in fat burning capabilities ... Halostachine.<br/>Halostachine is patent pending and only available in Vapor-XT, which means you cant get this in ANY other supplement. Halostachine works by giving your body the peak mental stimulation of ephedrine as well as Beta 3 stimulation without spiking blood pressure. This means it delivers all of the benefits of ephedrine without the negative side effects. In studies, Halostachine is almost twice as safe as ephedrine while still showing the massive fat burning potential once coveted by ephedrine users. Halostachine is more potent than ephedrine, milligram for milligram and without the negative side effects like the massive blood pressure spikes associated with ephedrine.

<div class="product-description">This amazing compound is a NEW discovery by AMS. This innovative company has just locked down a long term licensing agreement to ensure that this key compound will be available in its strongest form.AMS is known almost exclusively as a muscle-building component company, they knew that if they entered the world of fat burning they needed a game changer!So many reputable supplement companies have tried to mimic the fat burning effects of the ECA stack only to fall short. Either they didnt pack the energy punch of ephedrine or they couldnt reach the fat burning effectssadly most products failed in both categories.Its been a long while since a legitimately NEW stimulant has hit the market. Lets take a look at the new compound and see what makes it so special and why it is a TRUE replacement for ephedrine. First, it was tough to find a naturally occurring alkaloid that was similar to ephedrine. Synephrine was close in structure, but failed to give the energy boost of ephedrine. Geranamine was a good try, but didnt really provide pack the weight loss punch expected. PEA looked good on paper, but didnt really deliver the long-term effects desired. Even though these products are decent stimulants, the world just wasnt happy with them as TRUE ephedrine replacements. Second, the new stimulant had to hit hard like ephedrine without causing the increase in blood pressure and occasional heart- related effects. This was probably the toughest part of the challenge in finding a new stimulant that really worked like ephedrine. We needed something that was similar but didnt cause these risky side effects.Ladies, gentleman and stimulant junkies AMS gives you Halostachine! This stimulant fits the bill perfectly. When you take it, you will know why we think its more potent than ephedrine, milligram for milligram and without the negative side effects like the massive blood pressure spikes associated with ephedrine.Halostachine is patent pending and only available in Vapor-XT, which means you cant get this in ANY other supplement. Halostachine works by giving your body the peak mental stimulation of ephedrine as well as Beta 3 stimulation without spiking blood pressure. This means it delivers all of the benefits of ephedrine without the negatives side effects. In studies, Halostachine is almost twice as safe as ephedrine while still showing the massive fat burning potential once coveted by ephedrine users.Finally we took this powerful new stimulant and mixed it with the classic CA stack (which is caffeine and aspirin in the form of white willow bark), giving you the new HCA stack! This stack is something available only in Vapor XT and is unlike anything since ephedrine. Ephedrine junkies will have to try it to believe it! Welcome to the NEW king of stimulants only from AMS Thermogenics Redefined!<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 1 capsuleServings Per Container: 90Provides per serve:Halostachys Caspica Extract 99% ...........................................................25mg Caffeine...............................................................................................200mg Standardized White Willow Bark...........................................................150mg Elemental Magnesium (as malate, orotate, citrate and/or oxide)............35mg Other Ingredients: Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate, Silica.<h2>Recommended Use: </h2>Take 1-3 capsules per day in divided doses.

<![CDATA[
<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00207-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />In recent years, numerous papers have been published in professional journals and elsewhere evaluating the long-term use and clinical safety of oral creatine monohydrate supplementation using Creapure.The main focus was to evaluate if long-term Creapure supplementation (average of 5 grams/day) might increase the incidence of musculoskeletal injury, heat-related disorders (e.g., dehydration and cramping), and renal stress.Clinical assessments included analyzing a comprehensive panel of serum and whole blood markers (electrolytes, muscle and liver enzymes, substrates, lipid profiles, red and white blood cells, etc.), renal function tests determined by creatinine clearance, monitoring of injuries treated by the medical/athletic training staff, as well as the collection of medical safety and fatigue/weakness data.The results of these safety studies on the long-term use of Creapure have consistently shown that, in comparison to athletes who did not take creatine, those who took creatine did not experience a greater incidence of injuries, heat-related disorders (dehydration), cramping, musculoskeletal injuries, or gastrointestinal disturbances. Additionally, athletes who took creatine over a long period did not have significantly higher muscle and liver enzymes, altered electrolytes, or increased renal stress determined by creatine clearance. <strong> Please note that this applies specifically to Creapure Creatine Monohydrate manufactured in Germany by AlzChem Trostberg GmbH . Other manufacturers of Creatine Monohydrate may or may not show these effects.

<div class="product-description">ErgoBurn NMT contains the vanilloid receptor agonists, Evodiamine, Zingerone and Raspberry Ketone, which not only enhance the release of the hormone norepinephrine, but actually potentiate the activity of the hormone, which maximizes energy expenditure and in turn promotes unparalleled fat loss. ErgoBurn NMT also contains Green Coffee Bean Extract much like the famous green tea; green coffee is rich in polyphenols and is known as one of the richest sources of anti-oxidants nature has to offer. Also included is Kaempferol, a flavonoid that not only increases muscle cell oxygen consumption, but it also improves thyroid function by increasing the efficacy of the hormone known as T3. As if this was not enough to elevate ErgoBurn light years ahead of the competition, our inclusion of Fursultiamine surely is. Thiamine is a vital vitamin for the metabolism of both carbohydrates and fats. Fursultiamine enhances the production of ATP which improves exercise performance and aids in the reduction of muscle fatigue.The energy crash is no more!Finally, n-methyltyramine (NMT) and caffeine a combo that have been shown to improve energy, focus and oxygen intake, as well as delaying the onset of fatigue.If you want to amplify your metabolic rate, curb your cravings and increase focus, ErgoBurn NMT is for you.EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST A PILL.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Container Size: 28 capsulesServing Size: 1 capsuleServings Per Container: 28 servesAmount per Serving:ErgoBurn proprietary blend.........250mgCaffeine Anhydrous, Zingerone, Raspberry Ketone, Fursultiamine, n-methyltyramine (NMT) HCL, Green Coffee Bean Extract 50%, Evodiamine, and Kaempferol 50%Total Amount of Caffeine Per Serving:....80mg<h2>Directions for use:</h2>When using ErgoBurn NMT for the first time, we suggest taking one capsule, twice daily.

Among its many functions, glutamine detoxifies ammonia, regulates protein synthesis and protein degradation, functions as a nitrogen precursor and transfer, promotes cellular hydration, stimulates growth hormone production, maintains acid balance, boosts the immune system, is an energy precursor and increases glycogen production in the liver. In short, glutamine is both anabolic and anti-catabolic. Glutamine accounts for about 60% of the bodys total intramuscular free amino-acid pool and 20% of the total circulating amino acids. Unlike almost all other aminos, glutamine contains two nitrogen atoms. Because of this additional nitrogen atom, glutamine is called a nitrogen shuttle. Glutamine transports nitrogen where the body needs it most. Glutamine is available in both powder and capsule forms.

Our creatine monohydrate powder is a German creatine thats so pure, its patented. Its the finest in the world. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy source for all muscular contractions (bodybuilding). Energy is created when ATP releases one of its phosphate groups (ATP then becomes ADP). Creatine donates a phosophate back to ADP, reforming ATP, and thus restoring your ATP pool. By doing so, you can work out harder, longer, and more effectively. Creatine use can increase your strength and performance. It can help build lean mass by volumizing and hydrating muscle cells, thus creating a necessary anabolic environment for growth.

<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><h2>Hammer Perpetuem Benefits</h2> Consistent, stable energy, hour after hour Easy to digest, no stomach or GI issues Reduce muscle fatigue and recovery time Unprecedented lactic acid buffering Get a full, satiated feeling during prolonged all-liquid fueling Minimize lean muscle tissue cannibalization Unique carb/protein/fat formula for maximum enduranceCarnosine, one of the ingredients in Perpetuem (it's also in HEED, Sustained Energy, and Recoverite), is both a performance aid (a superb acid buffer) and a premium general health nutrient (multiple free-radical scavenging and anti-glycation antioxidant).Never before has a fuel so complete and effective been available to endurance athletes prior to now.The container of fuel you possess is a result of several years of research and thousands of miles of testing in a variety of endurance disciplines; it is the first fuel introduced by Hammer Nutrition in over a decade. PERPETUEM represents the ultimate, never-before-available link to satisfying the body's fueling requirements no matter how long or difficult your exercise session or race is.<h2>How to use Hammer Perpetuem:</h2>Suggested Doses by Body Weight*: Up to 54kgs: up to 1 scoop/hour 55 - 70kgs: up to 1.5 scoops/hour 71 - 85kgs: up to 2 scoops/hour 86kgs +: up to 2.5 scoops/hour*These are estimated doses. Each athlete should determine in training, under a variety of conditions, their personal optimum.Mixing OptionsYou can mix and consume Perpetuem three different ways depending on individual preference and logistical concerns. Please experiment with the following options to determine which works best for you.The One-Hour Bottle: This method works best in training or racing situations where you have a support crew and vehicle. They can keep your mixed bottles chilled and prepare fresh bottles of fuel along the way.If you're without a support crew but still want to use this option for mixing, keep in mind that it's obviously less convenient, as you'll have to stop more frequently to mix your fuel drink. Also, because you are trying to fulfill both hydration and caloric requirements from one source, you have limited ability to adjust one without affecting the other. Either way, with or without a support crew, to make the one-hour bottle, mix the suggested number of scoops of Perpetuem for your bodyweight in a small (20 ounces) or large (24-28 ounces) water bottle. Consume one bottle hourly.The Multi-Hour Bottle: This is by far the most convenient method of fueling because it allows you to be self-contained for many hours, requiring only additional plain water along the way. The only limitation is how many scoops you can fit into a bottle. Determine your proper hourly intake of scoops by experimenting with the numbers from the dosage chart. Let's say you've determined through testing that 1.5 scoops of Perpetuem per hour is your ideal caloric intake.You need a 6-hour fuel supply. Multiply the number of scoops you need by the hours that you will be exercising (in this case 1.5 scoops x 6 hours) and place in a large bottle with as much water as will fit. You may need to add a few scoops at a time to get it all to mix well. Then "nurse" this bottle, taking small sips every 15-20 minutes. In this concentration, the water in the mixed bottle does not contribute more than a couple of ounces to your hourly fluid intake needs.To meet your fluid requirements, carry a second and possibly even a third bottle of plain water, or use a hydration system, or know where you can refill along your route. Drink according to the temperature/humidity and your exertion level so that you consume in the range of 16-24 ounces of plain water per hour. When using the multi-hour bottle, as long as you can obtain water along the way, you're set for hours of hard training.Gel or Paste: If you want to carry the highest volume of calories in the least amount of space, this is your best option. Perpetuem can be made into a super-concentrated, near paste-like consistency and dispensed from a small flask. Using a blender or bowl and spoon, mix scoops of powder with a small amount of water, gradually adding water as necessary to create the consistency desired. Remember that the heavier and more concentrated Perpetuem is mixed, the sweeter and stronger the flavor will become.Depending on how many scoops per hour you have determined you require, and based on how concentrated the mix is, each flask of Perpetuem can supply you with 2-4 hours of fuel. As with the multi-hour bottle, you must carry additional bottles of plain water or use a hydration system to meet your fluid requirements.<h2>WHAT IS IN PERPETUEM AND HOW DOES IT WORK?</h2>Carbohydrates - As with all Hammer Nutrition fuels, we never add simple sugars to the carbohydrate profile. PERPETUEM contains a specific maltodextrin, which provides nearly 87% of its caloric composition in long chain carbohydrates.Protein - A new calcium-enhanced soy protein isolate known as "XT" makes up nearly 10% of the caloric profile of PERPETUEM, the same percentage as is cannibalized during long slow endurance workouts. This particular soy protein contains a very high amount of intact, cardiovascular-enhancing isoflavones.Fat - A de-oiled "super lecithin" (extracted from the soybean) is ideal for consistently and reliably fueling the body and maximizing energy production from stored fatty acids.Sweetener - We use Energy Smart, the same healthy sweetener in Hammer Gel, in PERPETUEM. This gives PERPETUEM a mellow-orange "Dreamsicle" flavor.Additional Nutrients in Hammer Perpetuem: Tribasic Sodium Phosphate (TSP), the main nutrient found in Race Day Boost, is included in a specific, hourly-effective dose. TSP is an exceptional buffering agent that neutralizes the effects of excess lactic acid during exercise and helps to increase endurance by balancing the acid/alkaline levels in the blood. Chromium Polynicotinate is a trace mineral that adds a hormone-like regulation to expand efficient carbohydrate metabolism. Since all carbohydrates are eventually reduced in the body to simple glucose (the body's primary source of energy), Chromium Polynicotinate provides the go-between action by "plugging" serum glucose from the bloodstream directly to the muscle cell. L-Carnitine, an amino acid cousin, acts as a transporter of fatty acids into muscle mitochondrial cells where the muscle fuels are burned for energy production. Most of us carry at least 85,000-90,000 calories of energy in fatty-acid stores. If the body is depleted or low in L-Carnitine, our fatty acid reserves are unavailable because they lack sufficient amounts of this carrier agent. Choline Barbitrate, a member of the B-complex family, also functions at the cellular level, helping the body access its stored fatty acids for energy conversion. Carnosine, a naturally occurring dipeptide from the amino acids histidine and alanine, functions primarily to buffer lactate buildup in muscle structures and acts as a multiple free-radical scavenging antioxidant. A modest electrolyte profile is also included in Hammer PERPETUEM.<h2>Nutrition Information:M</h2>Container Size: 1104gServing Size - 2 rounded scoops (69 g) added to 500ml of waterServings per container: 16Provides per serve:Calories.......................................................260Calories from Fat...........................................20Total Fat........................................................2gSaturated Fat..............................................0.5gTotal Carbohydrates....................................54gDietary Fiber..................................................0gSugars...........................................................7gProtein...........................................................6gCalcium..................................................234mgPhosphorus (Sodium Tribasic Phosphate)344mgIodine....................................................0.03mgMagnesium...............................................11mgCopper.......................................................1mgChromium (Chromium Polynicotinate)...100mcgSodium...................................................231mgPotassium...............................................156mgL-Carnosine............................................100mgCarnitine (as L-Carnitine Tartrate).............50mgCholine (as Choline Bitartrate)...................50mgCaffe LatteCaffeine...................................................25mg<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Maltodextrin, Soy Isolates, Energy Smart, Lecithin, Dreamsicle Flavor, Sodium Tribasic Phosphate, L-Carnosine, L-Carnitrine Tartrate, Choline Bitartrate, and ChromeMate, brand Chromium Polynicotinate</div>

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00188-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />The staple of any energy drink, bar, or gel is carbohydrate, and HAMMER GEL stands alone in today's glutted market of energy products. A look at the ingredient list on the label will tell you why: we use long-chain complex carbohydrates for smooth, consistent energy release. There's only a trace of sugar, so HAMMER GEL doesn't set off wild insulin spikes causing "sugar high" and "sugar crash." You won't find our products saturated with cheap, ineffective, commercial-grade sugars, which can ruin health and performance. Hammer Gel is Gluten Free. Espresso Hammer Gel contains 50mg of caffeine per gel.HAMMER GEL is an easily digested, concentrated source of complex carbohydrates with four amino acids added to enhance performance and prolong energy levels during intense training and competition. HAMMER GEL has a syrup-like consistency that mixes easily with water if so desired. You can drink it straight, dilute it, or use it to flavor other components. Use it before, during, and after exercise.<br/><br/>HAMMER GEL BENEFITS:<br/> Consistent, reliable energy - no sugar crash<br/> Easy to consume and assimilate, gentle on the stomach<br/> Versatile and economical<br/> Made with real fruit and wholesome ingredients<br/>

<div class="product-description">For over a decade, Hammer Gel has been the benchmark of concentrated carbohydrate energy, primarily because of what it doesn't contain-Hammer Gel has no added refined, simple sugars and artificial colours or sweeteners. Choose either single-serving pouches or the cost-effective jugs for even, reliable energy, not the "flash and crash" of sugar-loaded products. You get only what's good for you: complex carbohydrates, natural ingredients, and real fruit. The result is a great tasting concentrated fuel source that goes down and digests easier than any other energy gel. Hammer Gel is versatile as well - you can drink it straight, add it to your water bottle, or combine it with Sustained Energy, HEED, and Perpetuem to create a variety of tasty energy combinations for any length activity, anywhere, anytime.How to use Hammer Gel:Suggested Doses by Body Weight*:- Up to 54kgs: up to 2 servings/hour- 55 - 70kgs: up to 2.5 servings/hour- 71 - 85kgs: up to 3 servings/hour- 86kgs +: up to 3.5 servings/hour*These are estimated doses. Each athlete should determine in training, under a variety of conditions, their personal optimum.Usage Suggestions & Notes: Hammer Gel may be used as the sole source of calories during workouts and races up to two hours. When training sessions or races go longer than that select either Hammer Nutrition's PERPETUEM or SUSTAINED ENERGY as your primary fuel source. Hammer Gel is perfectly compatible with all Hammer Nutrition fuels so during ultra distance events, while Hammer Gel cannot be your sole source of calories every single hour, it may be occasionally to give you a little variety in what you're consuming. The Hammer flask holds 5-6 servings Espresso Hammer Gel contains 50 mg caffeine per serving You can use Hammer Gel to flavor Sustained Energy, Hammer Whey smoothies, etc. Hammer Gel flavors can be mixed for a variety of tastes. Try these combinations:Banana + Chocolate or Espresso = Banana Split.Orange + Vanilla = Orange Creamsicle.Raspberry + Orange + Banana = Fruit Punch.Raspberry + Espresso = Raspberry MochaPlain mixed with any other flavor to make it more mild for long-term use.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving size: 1 sachet/36gProvides per serve:Calories...................................................91Total Fat..................................................0gCholesterol...........................................0mgSodium...............................................27mgTotal Carbohydrates..............................23g-Sugars...................................................2gProtein....................................................0gEspresso FlavourCaffeine.............................................50mg<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Long-chain Maltodextrin, Filtered Water, Apple Concentrate, Energy Smart (Fruit Juice, Natural Grain Dextrins), Malic Acid, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Amino Acids (L-Leucine, L-Alanine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine), Sodium Chloride, Potassium Sorbate (as a preservative), Potassium Chloride</div>

It can thrive even in desert climates and poor soil.<br/><br/>Uses:<br/>Tribulus terrestris has long been used as a tonic and aphrodisiac in Indian ayurveda practice, where it is known by its Sanskrit name, "gokshura".It is now being promoted as a booster for the purpose of increasing sex drive. Its use for this purpose originated in Eastern Europe in the 1970's. Independent studies have suggested that Tribulus terrestris extract slightly increases hormone levels, though leaving them in the normal range.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Some have compared the tonic properties of Tribulus terrestris to the effects of ginseng, but these occur due to entirely different mechanisms. It is also claimed that Tribulus terrestris increases testosterone by increasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn stimulates the production of LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Testosterone, besides its role in muscle-building and raising fertility and libido, is also known to have a positive effect on bone marrow activity (for red blood cell production) and the immune system.Muira Puma:Muira puma, also called 'potency wood' is a herb native to the Amazonian rain basin.UsesMuira Puma - an all natural herb that was shown in a 1989 clinical study done by Dr. Watson in Paris, France to provide an erection for 62% of the men studied. These men were originally suffering from complete impotence and they reported that after just 3 months of using the Muira Puma alone, they achieved a full erection and a restored sex life. Tongkat Ali/Eurycoma LongifoliaIt is a small evergreen tree growing to 15 m tall, with spirally arranged, pinnate leaves 20-40 cm long with 13-41 leaflets. The flowers are dioecious, with male and female flowers on different trees; they are produced in large panicles, each flower with 5-6 very small petals. The fruit is green ripening dark red, 1-2 cm long and 0.5-1 cm broad.Uses:Eurycoma longifolia (Tongkat Ali) has become popular for its alleged testosterone-enhancing properties. It has therefore been included in some herbal supplements for bodybuilders. Historically, it has been used by the folk medicine in its countries of origin as a libido enhancer and to treat various sexual dysfunctions. Numerous scientific studies performed by Malaysian scientists suggest that it enhances sexual characteristics and performance in animal models.In Southeast Asia it is used as a post partum medication, as well as for its antimalarial, antipyretic, antiulcer, cytotoxic and aphrodisiac properties.It is important to note that most if not all of the tests performed to date were by Malaysian scientists.The raw samples used were from roots of the Malaysian Eurycoma Longifolia species.In both animals and humans, the extract increases muscle mass. The British Journal of Sports Medicine published the results of a scientific study in 2003, which showed that Eurycoma longifolia caused increased muscle strength and size when compared to a placebo. This demonstrates the anabolic properties of this herb. Thanks to this discovery, a growing number of Asian athletes and body builders now use the extract as an androgen, to improve muscle size and strength, and to enhance sports performance. Epimedium/Horny Goat Weed:Epimedium is a genus of about 60 or more species of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Berberidaceae. The large majority are endemic to southern China, with further outposts in Europe, and central, southern and eastern Asia.Epimedium species are hardy perennials. The majority have four petaled "spider-like" flowers in spring. Many are believed to be aphrodisiacs.Uses:Many species of Epimedium are alleged to have aphrodisiac qualities. According to legend, this property was discovered by a Chinese goat herder who noticed sexual activity in his flock after they ate the weed. It is sold as a health supplement, usually in raw herb or pill form and sometimes blended with other supplements. The over-exploitation of wild populations of Epimedium for use in traditional Chinese medicine is having potentially serious consequences for the long-term survival of several species, none of which are widely cultivated for medicinal purposes.The "active ingredient" in Epimedium is icariin, which can be found in standardized extracts from 5% up to 60% potent. Strengths above that are usually reserved for lab use.Icariin is purported to work by increasing levels of nitric oxide, which relax smooth muscle. It has been demonstrated to relax rabbit penile tissue by nitric oxide and PDE-5 activity. Other research has demonstrated that injections of Epimedium extract, directly into the penis of the rat results in an increase in penile blood pressure.Like Viagra, icariin, the active compound in Epimedium, inhibits the activity of PDE-5. In vitro assays have demonstrated that icariin inhibits PDE-5 with an IC50 of around 1 micromolar, while Viagra has an IC50 of about 6.6 nanomolar (.0066 micromolar) and Levitra has an IC50 of about 0.7 nanomolar (.0007 micromolar). Measured differently, the EC50 of icariin is approximately 4.62 micromolar, while Viagra is .42 micromolar.<h2>NUTRITION FACTS:</h2>Provides per serve:Tribulus..........................3000mgMuira Puma......................500mgTongat Ali........................300mgHorny Goat Weed.............400mg<h2>Directions:</h2>For best results take 2 capsules at least 1 horu before activity with a large glass of water on an empty stomach.<h1>CAUTION</h1>Do not use if you have androgen sensitive tumours, high blood pressure or are on Warfarin </div>

<div class="product-description">Developed by leading sports physicians through years of independent scientific and medical research, Skins BioAcceleration Technology is the market leader in compression wear and is unique in the sporting world.# Features: Body Molded Compression# Flatlock Stitching# Increased Oxygen Flow to Muscles# Endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA)# 50+ UV Protection# Moisture Wicking# Anti-bacterial and Anti-microbialHow Skins WorkSkins BioAcceleration Technology has been developed over years of scientific research. Ongoing testing of elite athletes have proven that Skins BioAcceleration Technology creates marked improvements in reducing the build-up of lactic acid immediately after periods of sustained exercise (2hrs and 15 mins up to 37% ), and allows for more rapid return to normal levels (up to 38% at 20 minutes). You experience less fatigue, minimise soreness and recover faster.Skins is body-moulded compression performance equipment manufactured from the finest Lycra and Meryl Microfibre, scientifically engineered to provide support and muscle alignment to the smart-fabric covered area of your body. Skins will definitely change the way that you train and play as well as speed your recovery. You will feel fresher after heavy bouts of exercise and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) will be minimised.Technology to perform BioAcceleration TechnologyEnhanced circulation from engineered gradient compression assists in reducing lactic acid build-up. Skins technical compression wear has been developed and designed to provide engineered gradient compression. When compression is engineered to apply a balanced and accurate surface pressure over specific body parts, it triggers an acceleration of blood flow. This increases oxygen delivery to working muscles to enhance their performance. The circulation improvements also help the body to eliminate lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. The combination of these effects allows you to work at a higher rate for longer. SkinfitA precision fit based on your body mass index (BMI) algorithm. Skins development of the correct compression is based on a body mass index (BMI) algorithm. A unique sizing system based on the algorithm allows us to customise and engineer gradient compression. By controlling the stretch and recovery of the fabric in conjunction with specifically developed pattern making techniques based on the sizing system, we are able to ensure the correct level of surface pressure for most body shapes. This is what truly sets Skins apart from the competition!(See Sizing Chart Below to find your ideal fit.) Skinmuscle +To focus muscle power and dramatically reduce muscle vibration. Skins performance equipment has been designed to wrap and support key muscle groups to reduce muscle movement and focus the direction of the muscle. The wrapping effect and specific compression also dramatically reduce muscle vibration resulting in less soft tissue damage and muscle soreness. The combination of muscle wrapping with BioAcceleration Technology is proven to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and accelerate recovery time. SkindryMoisture management wicking draws moisture away from your skin keeping you dry. Moisture management wicking is inherent in Skins smart fabric which originates in the polymer producing stages of the fibre construction. This superior feature is independently tested and proven to actively draw moisture away from your skin to the surface layer where it evaporates more quickly to keep you dry. SkintempOptimises your body temperature in warm and cool conditions. Skins unique smart fabric works to optimise your body temperature in both warm and cool conditions. The enhanced circulatory effect of the fabric warms your muscles quickly. The superior wicking properties and the large surface area of fabric close to your skin promotes evaporative cooling (the principle cooling mechanism of the body). This maintains body temperature more constantly, helping your body perform better for longer. SkinfreshAntibacterial and antimicrobial treatments discourage growth of bacteria and help prevent odour. Skins smart fabric has built in antibacterial and antimicrobial features, inherent in the polymer producing stage of the fibres. These properties, which cannot be washed out of the fabric, discourage the growth of bacteria by ionically absorbing odour causing substances, normally associated with Lycra wear. SkinUVblockSPF 50+.

When you're in a race and you need to step up the effort - be it prior to attacking a climb or dropping the pack - your body must have the cellular goods to deliver the performance. And that's exactly when ATP 100 shines. When you put an ATP 100 tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve, you get a nice boost of energy exactly when you need it. It's perfect for interval sessions, a hard section of a workout or race, or when it's time to put away the competition for good. Try a bottle (remember, all our products are 100% guaranteed) and make sure you've got the edge when you need it.

<div class="product-description"><h2>HAMMER ENERGY SURGE BENEFITS:</h2>ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the chemical compound - the "energy currency" of the cell - that provides the overwhelming majority of the energy needed by your body. Under normal conditions (such as at rest) the body can produce all the ATP it needs for a healthy existence. However, during stressful conditions, such as high-intensity exercise, the body's ATP stores are rapidly depleted and cannot be replenished quickly enough by normal means. When you're in a race and you need to step up the effort - be it prior to attacking a climb or dropping the pack - your body must have the cellular goods to deliver the performance. And that's exactly when ATP 100 shines. When you put an ATP 100 tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve, you get a nice boost of energy exactly when you need it. It's perfect for interval sessions, a hard section of a workout or race, or when it's time to put away the competition for good. Try a bottle (remember, all our products are 100% guaranteed) and make sure you've got the edge when you need it.<h2>MORE ABOUT ATP:</h2>Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is produced by every mitochondria cell within the human body. It is formed from a long chain of metabolic events in which a variety of substrates are transferred from the foods you eat, especially carbohydrates. Although science is still struggling to fully understand the nature of this unstable compound, E-CAPS has been harnessing its universal power for over 10 years. Thousands of satisfied customers can attest to its effectiveness where it counts -at the races. E-CAPS proprietary sublingual (under the tongue) formula allows for direct absorption through the mucosa of the mouth and throat, going directly into the bloodstream and avoiding the stomach. The anecdotal data of ATP 100's effectiveness is somewhat substantiated by the work of Dr. Irshad Chaudry, who showed there is evidence that ATP can cross the cell membrane. Dr. Chaudry suggests that the release and uptake of ATP or its substrates are part of the physiological process of energy metabolism. ATP, Adenosine Triphosphate, is directly or indirectly responsible for 95% of the biological activity in the body, including muscle contractions, circulation, and building new tissue.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Container Size: 30 TabletsServing Size: 1 TabletServings Per Container: 30Provides per serve:Magnesium (as Magnesium Glycerol Phosphate)....10mgATP (as Adenosine Triphosphate).......................100 mgOther Ingredients:Adenosine Triphosphate, Magnesium Glycerol Phosphate, Fructose, Mannitol, Natural Flavours, Cellulose Gum, Magnesium Stearate.<h2>USAGE INFORMATION:</h2>1-2 tablets dissolved under tongue as needed during exercise.</div>

<![CDATA[
<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00174-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />Hammer Endurolytes Electrolyte Caps are a full spectrum, proportionately balanced, chelated mineral formula to help guard against cramping and electrolyte imbalance during training and endurance events. Cramping is your body's final warning signal that you're on empty electrolyte wise. However, your performance is deteriorating and you are slowing down long before you feel the slightest twinge of a cramp. To keep your body's muscular, digestive, nervous, and cardiac systems firing on all cylinders you need a consistent supply of all electrolytic minerals, not just sodium and potassium. Plus, in many instances, you require greater volumes of electrolytes than any sports drink or gel can provide. That is why Endurolytes fulfills such a crucial component of your fueling by supplying your body with a perfectly balanced, full-spectrum, rapidly assimilated electrolyte source, allowing you to meet your widely variable electrolyte needs with tremendous precision, hour after hour, no matter what the weather throws at you. 
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><h2>Hammer Endurolytes Benefits:</h2> Superior cramp prevention. Full spectrum electrolytes in balanced formula. Versatile dosing for a variety of conditions. Offered in capsule or powder form. Gluten-Free and Vegan Friendly.<h2>Extra Benefits:</h2>Taking two or more Endurolytes before bed may help prevent night cramps and nighttime muscle twitching.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 conveniently dosed capsules or powder form. You can swallow them, or open them and mix your own amount into your water bottle, whichever is most convenient for you.When you don't feel like taking capsules, ENDUROLYTES POWDER is the answer. Nearly identical to the ENDUROLYTES encapsulated formula, ENDUROLYTES POWDER 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.<h2>HOW TO USE HAMMER ENDUROLYTES:</h2>Use prior to, during, and after workouts to satisfy the body's electrolyte requirements with maximum precision.Mixing / Usage Instructions:Use as needed but primarily when: 1. Exercise lasts for more than 2 hours, regardless of temperature or humidity. 2. Exercise lasts less than 2 hours and: 1. Temperature is above 80 degrees and/or 70% humidity or 2. Temperature and humidity is 10 degrees or more above what you are accustomed to1-3 capsules 30-60 minutes prior to exercise1-6 capsules each hour during exercise1-3 capsules after exercisePowder Note: Taste will limit you to 1-3 servings per hour. If conditions warrant more, additional capsules should be used.Notes:Bodyweight, level of fitness, weather conditions, acclimatization level, and biological predisposition all greatly affect electrolyte depletion so you must do your own trials with Endurolytes dosing, under a variety of conditions, to determine individual requirements.Endurolytes DOES NOT prevent heat stroke, hyponatremia, or any other dangerous physical condition resulting from over exertion in the heat.<h2>Nutrition Information:</h2>Serving Size: 1 capsuleProvides per serve:Sodium (as Sodium Chloride)......................40mgChloride (as Sodium Chloride).....................60mgCalcium (as Chelate)....................................50mgMagnesium (as Chelate)...............................25mgPotassium (as Chelate).................................25mgVitamin B-6 (as Pyridoxine HCL).................6.6mgManganese (as Chelate)..............................1.6mgL-Tyrosine..................................................50mgOther Ingredients: Vegetable capsules (plant cellulose and water), Maltodextrin, Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid </div>

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00173-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />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 you'll pay the price. To stay strong in multi-hour events, you need Anti-Fatigue Caps.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><h2>Benefits Of Hammer Anti-Fatigue Caps</h2> Reduce muscle aches and fatigue Increase glycogen availability Extend endurance Help prevent crampsAlthough Anti-Fatigue Caps is designed primarily for ammonia reduction in long distance events, many of the nutrients in the formula are excellent for helping counteract everyday fatigue, even chronic fatigue symptoms.Features:* More potent aspartate compound, yielding higher amounts of potassium and magnesium.* 10 mg per capsule of EESTM (blend of protease and phytase enzymes) for greater absorption and assimilation.* All vegetable (VCapsTM) capsules.The Hammer Nutrition Anti-Fatigue Caps FormulaPotassium/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."<h2>HAMMER USAGE INFORMATION</h2> 2-4 capsules one hour prior to training. This would provide an initial dose of 500-1000 mg magnesium/potassium aspartate, 200-400 mg citrulline, and 280-560 mg OKG, an excellent dose at the onset of an endurance workout or race. An additional 1-2 capsules each hour, at the two-hour mark and beyond, during extended endurance sessions is also suggested.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Container Size: 90 CapsulesServing Size: 1 CapsuleServings per container: 90Provides per serve:Potassium Magnesium Aspartate.................250 mgL-Citrulline.................................................100 mgOKG (Ornithine alpha Ketoglutarate)............140 mgEnzyme Enhancement System.....................10 mg(A proprietary blend of protease and phytase)Other Ingredients:Stabilized Rice Bran, Vegetable Capsules (pullalan and water)</div>

Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.<br/><br/>Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of these unique "time-released" qualities, caseins are aptly described as being anti-catabolic, or muscle-protecting, proteins.

A delicious, mouth-watering change. The Doctors CarbRite Diet Bars have been taking the country by storm. Dieters everywhere are switching to our bars every day and regretting that they didnt switch earlier.<br/><br/>Maybe youre still in the dark. Perhaps youve been eating your bar for so long, you dont even know what a great bar should taste like. Does it even exist? Absolutely. Most people who try the bar are skeptical at first. After theyve had it, they cant imagine how a low carb bar could taste so good. So good that these bars have received some of the highest marks from independent low carb web sites.<br/><br/>So good that real people like yourself have compared it to candy bars. Listen to what Diana Cox had to say: I just purchased some of your Doctors CarbRite Diet Bars and theyre the absolute best Ive ever tasted! Im particular about the ingredients in nutrition bars as well as the carb content. The Smores tasted just like a Milky Way bar! While taste is the real story behind the Doctors success, theres a couple of other things you should know. For starters, every Doctors CarbRite Bar we make is sugar-free and lab certified gluten-free.<br/><br/>Better yet, unlike the competition, our bars are completely free of all artificial sweeteners. This includes aspartame (Nutrasweet), sucralose (Splenda), acesulfame potassium, and saccharin. Next, each bar contains absolutely no hydrogenated oils or trans-fats, making it a very healthful choice. Finally, each of our bars are manufactured by us and no one elseunlike the majority of the low carb bars out there.

<div class="product-description">Have you ever wondered why many of our competitors' bars taste alikethe same cardboard texture, the same sour taste? Its because our competition relies on two or three major contract manufacturers to make their bars for them. Because we exclusively make our own bars, youre guaranteed freshness, quality, and yes, superb taste.Did we mention a great price as well? Take it from Valeria Spadaro: Ive tasted other low carb bars like Atkins and LoCarb, but yours are the best that Ive ever had! The other ones are horriblethey reminded me of putty. Stop sacrificing taste for your diet. Now, you can have the cake and eat it too! With the Doctors CarbRite Bar, you get a healthful, sugar-free alternative to all the candy bars out there that are high in sugars and fat.

<div class="product-description">Box Lots Now Contain 18x FastPaksFatsPak Net Weight 60g - each pack contains 6x SHOT BLOKS. Each Shot Blok provides 8 grams of Carbohydrates with a FastPak of 6 Shot Bloks providing 48 grams of Carbohydrates in Total.Variety is the spice of lifewe couldn't agree more. We understand ('cause we've been there) that after numerous hours of training and racing, the body needs to mix it up a little in terms of what goes in the tank. That's why we set out to create another energy food option that would complement our bars and gels. The result is CLIF SHOT Bloks chews. They're simple-to-handle, easy-to-chew, and provide similar nutrition to SHOT gel, so theyll fit seamlessly into your training and racing nutrition program. <h2>Nutrition Carbohydrates and Electrolytes</h2>SHOT Bloks chews offer very similar nutrition to SHOT Energy Gel. The primary ingredient for both is brown rice syrup which provides easily assimilated carbohydrates for working muscles. Both products also provide the mineral salts known as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, permitting normal bodily function. When you sweat, you start to deplete your electrolyte stores and experience potential performance decline, so its best to help replenish them through food and fluid intake. One of our newest flavors, Margarita w/Salt, provides 210 mg of sodium which is 3 times the amount in other flavors. Sodium is the key electrolyte lost in sweat. Lose too much and performance declines dramatically, including a higher likelihood of muscle cramping. For hot days or for those that perspire excessively Margarita w/Salt is the way to go.<h2>Form and Function</h2>We created SHOT Bloks chews, each in a 10g size, so that 3 chews provide 100 calories. That makes it easy to track caloric intake during long outings. There are 6 chews to a double-serve package, so one package provides 200 calories.<strong>Organic Ingredients</strong>CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews are the first product in the SHOT line to be USDA certified organic, which means that each flavor contains a minimum of 95% Organic ingredients. We strive to use the most sustainable ingredients possible in our products. The environmental benefits of buying organic ingredients for our products have a direct positive impact on the air and water quality on this planet. CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews are USDA certified organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI).<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 3 pieces (30g)Servings per package: 2 servesProvides per serve:Calories........................................100Total fat........................................0gSodium.........................................70mgPotassium......................................20mgTotal Carbohydrate..............................24g- Sugars........................................12gProtein..........................................0gIron...........................................2%DV<strong>Ingredients:</strong>Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Brown Rice Syrup Solids, Pectin, Citric Acid, Colored With Black Carrot Juice Concentrate, Natural Flavor, Coconut Oil, Carnauba Wax.<h2>CLIF SHOT BLOKS Q & A:</h2><strong>Q: What are CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews?</strong>A: CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews are a semi-solid, easily chewable source of carbohydratesyour body's preferred source of fuel during activity.<strong>Q: What flavors of CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews are available?</strong>A: SHOT BLOKS chews come in eight great-tasting flavors: Cran-Razz, Lemon-Lime, Strawberry, Pina Colada, Black Cherry with 50mg caffeine, Orange with 25mg caffeine, Cola with 50mg caffeine, and Margarita w/Salt with three times the extra sodium.Q: Who needs CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews?A: SHOT BLOKS chews were designed for Endurance Athletes Cyclists, Runners, Mountain Bikers, Triathletes, Adventure Racers, etc. who were looking for increased eating options in their sports nutrition products.<strong>Q: When should SHOT BLOKS chews be eaten?</strong>A: SHOT BLOKS chews can be eaten 15-30 minutes prior to activity to increase blood sugar levels, and then every 20-30 minutes during activity to maintain energy levels. Keep in mind that SHOT BLOKS chews will affect your blood sugar levels more slowly than gel since they are semi-solid.Q: How should I eat SHOT BLOKS chews, compared to SHOT Gel?A: Gel and SHOT BLOKS chews are easily interchangeable since they both provide carbohydrate to working muscles. Since 3 chews equal the same calories as one SHOT gel packet you can go back and forth between each, while easily keeping track of your calorie intake. Always follow both BLOKS chews and Gel with a mouthful of water.<strong>Q: What does each of the ingredients in CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews do for me?</strong>Organic Brown Rice Syrup: Source of Carbohydrate and naturally occurring Sodium and PotassiumOrganic Evaporated Cane Juice: Source of Carbohydrate; enhances Flavor and PalatabilityOrganic Brown Rice Syrup Solids: Source of Carbohydrate and naturally occuring Sodium and PotassiumPectin: Fruit based gelling agentCitric Acid: Provides TartnessNatural Flavors: It's all about tasteNatural Colors: Makes different flavors easily identifiableReal Salt(Not All Flavors): Replaces primary electrolyte lost in sweat; helps prevent muscle crampingGreen Tea Extract (Not All Flavors): Source of Caffeine; oxidizes body fat for energy; increases mental alertnessCoconut Oil: Coats each piece so that they don't stick togetherCarnauba Wax: Coats each piece so that they don't stick together<strong>Q: Can I use CLIF SHOT Energy Gel, Electrolyte Drinks, and SHOT BLOKS chews together?</strong>A: Gel, Electrolyte, and SHOT BLOKS chews play key can play key roles in endurance athletics. Electrolyte provides needed fluid and electrolyte replacement while both Gel and SHOT BLOKS chews provide concentrated and easily digested sources of energy. The advantage of both Gel and BLOKS chews is that they provide energy in a very concentrated format, whereas you have to consume a large volume of Electrolyte for the same calories. On the other hand, Gel and SHOT BLOKS chews do not provide hydration; in fact they can pull water away from your gut. As a result, athletes should look to balance use of drinks with Gel and SHOT BLOKS chews, finding the optimal point where they are consistently energized and without stomach upset. Every athlete is unique and should experiment with this balance in training.<strong>Q: Do any of the CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews contain caffeine? Why?</strong>A: Yes, Black Cherry, Cola and Orange each contain 50mg of caffeine per serving. 1 can of cola or cup of coffee contains about 50mg of caffeine. Caffeine provides a boost to athletes by stimulating the central nervous system, increasing adrenaline and aiding in the use of body fat as fuel. Current sports science shows that caffeine does NOT cause dehydration when consumed during activity.<strong>Q: Do CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews contain electrolytes?</strong>A: Yes; all of the SHOT BLOKS chews contain at least 70 mg of Sodium and 20mg of Potassium per serving (3 pieces); Margarita contains 210 mg of sodium in a servingthree times the amount found in the other flavors.<strong>Q: What are electrolytes and what do they do for me?</strong>A: Mineral salts such as sodium chloride, potassium, magnesium are known collectively as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, allowing for normal bodily function. When you sweat you start to deplete yourself of these electrolytes. Similar to dehydration, electrolyte depletion will first lead to performance declines and then onto more serious health issues. Each chew provides sodium and potassium to help counteract the losses in your sweat.<strong>Q: Why does Margarita have 3 times the sodium of other Bloks flavors?</strong>A: Sodium depletion via sweat is the primary reason for muscle cramping in athletes. By adding more sodium were bringing carbohydrates, electrolytes, and higher levels of sodium together into one easy-to-ingest solution.<strong>Q: What is Real Salt and why is it being added to Margarita Bloks?</strong>A: Real Salt is a leading brand of sea salt that is extracted from a salt mine near Redmond, Utah and is minimally refined. Because we look for ingredients that undergo the least possible amount of processing, partnering with Real Salt made perfect sense. Real Salt not only retains more than 50 trace minerals as a result of minimal processing, but it also provides incredible taste. Truly, all salt is NOT created equal!<strong>Q: What are the tiny specs in Margarita Bloks?</strong>A: The tiny specs are trace minerals such as magnesium that are present in Real Salt, our source of sea salt in this flavor. See FAQ above for more information about Real Salt.<strong>Q: How are CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews different than its competitors?</strong>A: SHOT BLOKS chews offer five great-tasting flavors that each has a very soft, but not too chewy, bite. SHOT BLOKS chews come apart in your mouth quickly so they can be swallowed easilya real asset when youre on the move. Lastly, 3 chews provide 100 calories, so its simple to keep track of calorie intake during long outings.<strong>Q: What is the proportion of simple to complex carbohydrate in CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews?</strong>A: SHOT BLOKS chews are 50% Complex Carbohydrate and 50% Simple Carbohydrate.<strong>Q: Why arent there any vitamins in CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews?</strong>A: The primary purpose of CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews is to deliver what an athlete needs and can actually use during his/her training and racing: carbohydrate and electrolytes. While vitamins such as A, C, and E are critical to recovery from activity and daily well being, studies continually show that there is no performance benefit to consuming these vitamins during activity. Your body cannot assimilate enough vitamin A, C, or E during an event to make up for chronic deficiencies in your daily nutrition plan. The best way to prevent nutrient deficiencies is to eat well-balanced meals on a daily basis.<strong>Q: Why isnt there any protein in CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews?</strong>A: For the same reason that we do not add protein to SHOT Gel, well-designed studies have not been able to prove that consuming protein during activity has any performance benefits beyond consuming adequate carbohydrate. Furthermore, consuming protein during activity may actually hurt performance by displacing carbohydrate, slowing carbohydrate digestion, and causing digestive distress.<strong>Q: Do SHOT BLOKS chews contain gluten?</strong>A: No, SHOT BLOKS chews do not contain gluten.<strong>Q: Can SHOT BLOKS chews be used in the cold weather?</strong>A: We product tested SHOT BLOKS chews during the winter ski and snowboard season and the product did great with no undue hardening.<strong>Q: Do SHOT BLOKS chews contain any animal products or MSG?</strong>A: No.<strong>Q: Are SHOT BLOKS chews kosher?</strong>A: No, SHOT BLOKS chews are not kosher at this time.<strong>Q: What is the shelf life of CLIF SHOT BLOKS chews?</strong>A: SHOT BLOKS chews are guaranteed 12 months from the time they are packed. You can find the Best Buy date on the side of the package. We guarantee the product until that date.</div>

<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><h2>HORLEYS RIPPED FACTORS PyrogenX: Ingredient Science</h2>The research that went into creating the Ripped Factors PyrogenX Thermogenic F10 was extensive. A literature search was conducted on over twenty ingredients before the final compunds suitable for this advanced thermogenic were selected. Horleys needed to take into account the herbal extracts and dosage rates that were permittable in both NZ and Australia under the relevant regulations, and which would offer the most powerful effects. Below are more details on the active ingredients and how they work.CaffeineAmount: 112mg per 3 capule serveIn the form of: guarana/caffeineCaffeine is well known for its stimulant properties. Studies have clearly shown that 100mg of caffeine can significantly increase metabolic rate. Caffeine also increases mental alertness and athletic performance, two factors key to getting the most out of workouts.Green TeaAmount: 4800mg equivalent dry leaf per 3 capsule serveIn form of: ExtractGreen tea extract contains several catechin compounds, the most important of which is Epigallocatechin Gallate (ECGC). Human and animal studies have shown that green tea increases fat oxidation by an acute increase in thermogensis and by a more long-term increase in b-oxidation in the liver. Human studies have shown that green tea compounds and caffeine significantly increase 24 hr energy expenditure (calories burnt at rest).Citrus aurantium (Bitter Orange)A natural source of the thermogenic compound synephrine, which is chemically similar to Ephedrine, but considered much safer.White WillowContains salicin, a natural compound of similar structure to aspirin. White Willow extends the effects of other thermogenic stimulants including caffeine and synephrine.Garcinia quaesitaA source of Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), a compound that temporarily blocks the activity of the enzyme ATP citrate lyase, which is involved in the conversion of carbohydrate to fat.Yerba mateYerba mate contains stimulant compounds, Mateine, Theophyilline and Theobromine. These act in a similar manner to caffeine increasing metabolism.Cayenne pepperContains the compound capsaicin, which makes peppers hot. Traditionally used for stimulating circulation, aiding digestion and relieving pain. May also have thermogenic properties.Chromium PolynicotinateChromium is an essential trace mineral that aids blood glucose metabolism, insulin levels and the maintenance of healthy levels of various blood lipids including cholesterol.<h2>Recommended Use:</h2>Women: 2 caps twice dailyMen: 3 caps twice daily<h2>Normal usage:</h2>Take one dose with your breakfastTake one dose 30 minutes before exercise (with water)Note: one dose on empty stomach first thing in the morning prior to a cardio session may help you to to maximise results<h2>Pre-competition:</h2>Take 3 capsules with a glass of water immediately after waking up, then do 45 minutes of cardioTake 3 capsules at 2-3pm in the afternoon to push through the natural low point in your metabolic rate<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 1 CapsuleServings per container: 100Each Capsule contains:(extracts equivalent to)Camellia sinensis (Green Tea) dry leaf................................1600mgPaullinia cupana (Guarana) ................................................1000mg- equivalent Caffeine total...................................................37.5mgSalix alba (White Willow) dry stem bark..............................1500mgIlex paraguariensis (Yerba Mate) dry leaf................................16mgGarcinia quaesita dry fruit rind...........................................1600mgCitrus aurantium (Bitter Orange) dry fruit ............................735mgother ingredients (not extracts)Chromium (as chromium nicotinate).......................................8mcgL-Tyrosine.............................................................................16mgDry Capsicum...........................................................................8mgDry Ginger...............................................................................8mgNOT SUITABLE FOR PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING WOMEN.

<div class="product-description"><h2>SCIVATION XTEND FAQ</h2>If I already eat a lot of protein, will additional free-form BCAA be beneficial to me?The metabolic effects seen from ingesting free-form amino acids are different from ingesting the same amino acids when they are in a whole protein (peptide bond). The rapid flushing of the system with the particular amino acid exerts a much more powerful activation of its target pathways. For example, if you were to ingest 5 grams of free-form arginine pre-workout you would notice a greater pump then without it. If you were to ingest 5 grams of arginine in the form of a whole protein (1) you'd have to eat a ton of protein to acquire the 5 grams of arginine and (2) the rate of delivery would be much slower and (3) you would not be flooding your system with a large dose of arginine at one time. The same holds true for BCAA. Ingesting 10 grams of BCAA will lead to greater activation of mTOR, PI3K, etc.* than ingesting 10 grams of BCAA from a whole protein.What if I already take in a lot of whey protein which is high in BCAA?Free-form amino acids are absorbed quicker than whey, and as stated above, whey will not flood your bloodstream with BCAA as quick as ingesting free-form BCAA. The BCAA from whey compared to free-form BCAA could be compared to filling up a glass of water from a garden hose (whey) to a faucet (free-form BCAA). If you use a garden hose you have to wait until the water travels the length of the hose before you can use it. With a faucet, the water is right there when you turn it on. On top of this, the faucet has a wider opening than the garden hose and releases more water than the garden hose. During your workout and times of stress (dieting), you want the BCAA to get to your muscles as quickly as possible.Can women take Xtend?Yes. Xtend is very effective for both men and women.What Other Supplements Can I Combine with Xtend for Enhanced Results?The Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) is one of the body's protein synthesis regulators. mTOR functions as an energy sensor; it is activated when ATP levels are high and blocked when ATP levels are decreased (AMPK is activated when ATP decreases, which works antagonistically to mTOR).The main energy-consuming process in the cell is protein synthesis. When mTOR is activated (high ATP levels sensed) protein synthesis is increased and when mTOR is suppressed (low ATP levels are sensed) protein synthesis is blunted.MTOR activation is vital for skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Interestingly, mTOR is also a nutrient sensor of amino acid availability, specifically of leucine availability. Research has shown that regulation of mTOR by ATP and amino acids act independently through separate mechanisms (Dennis et al., 2001).It is my belief that combining supplements that increase/elevate ATP levels with BCAA will lead to an increased activation of mTOR, and therefore protein synthesis. Our goal is to keep ATP levels elevated while working out. To do so, we must supply the needed nutrients and substrates before and after the workout to keep ATP levels elevated and our bodies primed for growth.CreatineCreatine is used in the high-energy phosphate or ATP-PCr system to regenerate ATP. ATP, the body's main source of energy, is a molecule of adenosine (adenine + the sugar ribose) linked to three phosphate molecules by high-energy bonds. Breaking of the two outer bonds results in the release of energy.When the most outer bond is broken, the energy is released and ADP and Pi are left behind. Creatine, which is bonded to a phosphate ion, transfers energy to the ADP and Pi molecule by breaking its own bond. This regenerates the ATP molecule, which means one now has more energy to use.Skeletal muscle has a limited storage of creatine. Therefore supplementing with creatine increases your ability to form ATP and therefore increases the available energy for exercise (Casey et al. 1996 & 2000). More importantly to our topic on hand, by keeping ATP levels by supplementing with creatine we increase protein synthesis through mTOR activation. Creatine also has many other beneficial effects that are to numerous to address here.Nitric Oxide (NO) product (Arginine, DiArginine-Malate, AAKG, etc)The rate-limiting step of amino acid uptake into skeletal muscle is the transportation of the amino acids through the blood to the skeletal muscle, which is governed by blood flow (Wolfe, 2004). NO vasodilates blood vessels, thereby increasing blood flow. This increase when combined with exercises means greater blood flow and greater amino acid deliver and uptake in the working skeletal muscle. Exercise itself results in an increase in NO production, and the increased blood flow created by exercise is believed to be linked to the increase in protein synthesis post workout (Douglas et al., 2004). Xtend already has Citrulline-Malate in it, which will increase NO production, but an additional serving of arginine (i.e. 5 grams) preworkout should further enhance NO production, blood flow, and amino acid uptake. <h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 2 Scoops (13 grams)Servings Per Container:390g: 30 serves1.1kg: 90 servesProvides per serve:Pyridoxine (B6) (as Pyroxidine HCL).......................................10mgAverage Amino Acid Profile Per ServingL-Leucine................................................................................3.5gL-Isoleucine..........................................................................1.75gL-Valine................................................................................1.75gL-Glutamine............................................................................2.5gCitrulline Malate.........................................................................1g<h2>Ingredients:</h2>L-Leucine, L-Glutamine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine, Citrulline Malate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Citric Acid, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, pyridoxine HCL, Yellow #5 and blue #1.<h2>Recommended Use:</h2>As a dietary supplement, mix 2 level scoops (13 grams) in 16 oz. of water and shake well.

<div class="product-description">Universal Animal Flex is the complete "foundational" joint supplementation designed specifically for the serious powerlifter and bodybuilder. None of that 3x a day shit. Just a single pack a day, and you're good to go.Hardcore training gets resultssize and strength gains, better endurance capacity, an improved physique. This extreme physical pursuit and the big weights involved also carry with them some negative consequences, most notably joint pain. Your mortal joints and tendons are stressed each training session by the massive amounts of weight and the numerous sets and reps performed in a typical hardcore workout. This constant pounding can take its toll on the body and over time, limit your ability to reach your potential.Serious bodybuilders and strength athletes know how critical it is to consistently challenge themselves with heavier weights and increasing intensity. Ideally, they would be able to so without the constant fear of nagging injury and deteriorating joints. If your joints and cartilage are weakened, over the long term, your muscles will only be able to progress so far. This is where Animal Flex enters the equation.Animal Flex is designed to help protect your joints from the continuous wear and tear brought about by weight training.Each pack of Animal Flex consists of only the most powerful joint protection ingredients: (1) a potent regeneration complex to help repair connective tissue, (2) a lubrication complex to cushion the joints from heavy lifting, (3) a support complex to help promote rehabilitation and reduce soreness; and (4) a comprehensive nutrient support blend which supplies the cartilage and tendons with the proper nutrients for optimal joint health. Helping to supply the most effective and potent balance of joint nutrients available, Animal Flex is your armor against the rigors of iron warfare.<h2>Daily Dose:</h2>Animal Flex is designed as a core or "foundational" supplement, and contains required nutrients that your body needs on a daily basis in order to protect your joints from the over use and abuse that comes from heavy lifting.

<div class="product-description">Protein is the most important organic compound in the human body-influencing many essential biological processes. In fact, muscle tissue contains 80% protein, so the addition on Milk & Egg Protein to your training directly influences gains in muscle mass and strengths. And only Universal's Milk & Egg Protein is formulated from carefully selected high-quality, premium protein sources (including calcium caseinate, lactalbumin, and egg white albumin).Milk & Egg Protein is loaded with essential vitamins, mineral and electrolytes. No other formula gives you so much to supplement your training and optimize performance. Plus Universal's Milk & Egg Protein contributes greatly to the promotion of a positive nitrogen balance within your body.When you are training, this positive balance contributes significantly to: Help your body recover faster from training training. Enhances glycosis (breakdown of carbs for energy). Improved fat metabolism and oxidation. Maximize oxygen uptake by working muscles. Increase anabolic and metabolic rates. Boost protein synthesis.As a great-tasting shake, Universal's Milk & Egg Protein is formulated to be easily-digestible and readily utilized by your body. When you are training at intense levels, your body ceases protein production during that training period and resumes during the recovery period that follows. And if you work out for extended periods (longer than two hours) or at high frequencies, your rate of protein breakdown increases. You run the risk of your muscle protein becoming fuel for your activity (a catabolic state). This makes it essential to increase your protein intake with high quality proteins like Universal's Milk & Egg Protein. To optimize your gains and prevent catabolic effects schedule protein feedings every three hours. Well-balanced nutrition is an integral part of your success. That's why there is no comparison to fueling your body with the power of Universal's Milk & Egg Protein. Nothing comes close to its quality, potency or efficiency.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Container Size: Vanilla 3.5lb/1.6kg / Chocolate 3lb 1.3kgServing Size: 1 Scoop (35g)Servings Per Container: Vanilla 46 servesChocolate 41 servesProvides per serve:Total Calories...........................................................112Protein......................................................................24gTotal Fat.....................................................................0g- Saturated Fat...........................................................0gTotal Carbohydrates...................................................4g- Sugars.....................................................................4gVitamin A (as beta carotene)...............................2500I.U.Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)....................................30mgCalcium (as sulfate)...............................................500mgIron.....................................................................180mcgVitamin D (as ergocalciferol)..................................200I.U.Thiamin (B1) (as mononitrate)..............................750mcgRiboflavin (B2).....................................................850mcgNiacin (B3) (as niacinamide)....................................10mgPyridoxine (B6)..........................................................1mgCyanocobalamin (B12).............................................3mcgBiotin.....................................................................75mcgMagnesium (as oxide)............................................100mgSodium..................................................................145mgTypical Amino Acid ProfileL-Leucine (branched chain)..................................2017mgL-Isoleucine (branched chain)..............................1320mgL-Valine (branched chain)....................................1583mgL-Lysine..............................................................1776mgL-Methionine.........................................................603mgL-Phenylalanine...................................................1176mgL-Threonine.........................................................1079mgL-Tryptophan.........................................................372mgL-Alanine...............................................................663mgL-Arginine..............................................................889mgL-Aspartic Acid.....................................................1512mgL-Cystine..................................................................72mgL-Glutamic Acid....................................................4701mgL-Glycine................................................................551mgL-Histidine.............................................................675mgL-Proline..............................................................2447mgL-Serine...............................................................1374mgL-Tyrosine...........................................................1402mgProtein Enzyme Complex (Papain, bromelain)...........50mg<h2>Other Ingredients:</h2>Universal's Exclusive Protein Blend (consisting of calcium caseinate [milk], lactalbumin and egg white albumin), dextrose. maltodextrin, natural flavors, lecithin (soy).<h2>Recommended Use:</h2>Mix 1-2 level scoops in a blender with 6-12 ounces of your favorite beverage.

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00142-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />Sports drinks have been around a long time and for many athletes they're more convenient than energy gels. Unfortunately, most sports drinks are not much more than artificially colored sugar water that does little to aid your performance and even less for your health. That is why we developed HEED as a healthy alternative for you. HEED's subtle tasting, all-complex carbohydrate formula goes down easily and supplies you with consistent, long-lasting energy and the electrolytes you need to keep pushing the pace.

<div class="product-description"><h2>HAMMER HEED SPORTS DRINK BENEFITS:</h2> Light, non-sweet, non-syrupy taste Smooth, even energy-no sugar spikes or crashes Help protect against cramps Buffer lactic acid Low acid formula Full spectrum electrolyte profile Promote oral health, not tooth decay Great valueHEED's subtle tasting, all-complex carbohydrate formula goes down easily and supplies you with consistent, long-lasting energy and the electrolytes you need to keep pushing the pace. Because we add no citric acid to the formula, it will not burn your throat or stomach no matter how long you drink it. HEED's sweetener, xylitol - is actually good for you, xylitol being especially beneficial for helping promote oral health. The full-spectrum, all chelated mineral, electrolyte profile helps satisfy your body's mineral requirements. L-Carnosine and Chromium Polynicotinate help to buffer lactic acid and support stable blood glucose levels. If you prefer sport drinks over energy gels or like to use the two together, try HEED... and find out what a sports drink done right can do for your athletic performance.Hammer HEED 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. HEED'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.HEED 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 HEED will completely fulfill electrolyte requirements (in addition to caloric requirements). For other athletes, the electrolyte profile in HEED 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, HEED 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. HEED is the only choice you need to make.<h2>Hammer HEED usage:</h2>Suggested Doses by Body Weight*: Up to 54kgs: up to 1.5 scoops/hour 55 - 70kgs: up to 2.5 scoos/hour 71 - 85kgs: up to 2.75 scoops/hour 86kgs +: up to 3 scoops/hour*These are estimated doses. Each athlete should determine in training, under a variety of conditions, their personal optimum.Usage Suggestions & Notes: HEED may be used as the sole source of calories, fluids and electrolytes during workouts and races lasting up to two hours and as a partial source of calories when exercising for periods well in excess of two hours. Each scoop of HEED contains the equivalent amount of electrolytes as approximately 2/3 of an Endurolytes serving. For many athletes, under normal conditions, one or two scoops of HEED will completely fulfill electrolyte requirements. When heat stress increases significantly, you will need to consume additional Endurolytes.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size - (29 g) 1 heaping scoopServings per container:928g: 32 servesProvides per serve:Calories...........................................100Calories from Fat.................................0Total Fat............................................0gTotal Carbohydrates........................25gSugars...............................................2gProtein...............................................0gVitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCL).......4mgSodium Chloride...........................62mgCalcium Chelate............................31mgMagnesium Chelate......................16mgPotassium Chelate........................16mgManganese Chelate........................1mgChromium Polynicotinate............25mcgL-Carnosine.................................50mgL-Tyrosine...................................11mgGlycine........................................31mg<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Maltodextrin, Xylitol, Natural Mandarin Flavor, Sodium Chloride, Alanine, Histidine, Glycine, Calcium Chelate, Magnesium Chelate, Potassium Chelate, L-Tyrosine, Vitamin B6, Manganese Chelate, ChromeMate brand Chromium Polynicotinate *Mandarin Flavor</div>

<![CDATA[
<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00139-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />Creatine Monohydrate is probably the most popular sports supplement on the market today, being one of the most effective supplements available for increasing explosive power, strength and aiding lean muscle gains. It is most commonly sold in powdered form, and capsules, and is also available in a liquid form which has yet to be proven effective (One particular brand of Liquid Creatine Serum has been pulled from the New Zealand shelves and the importers fined $70,000 for false claims). Creatine is commonly available mixed with carbohydrates or transport systems designed to improve creatine utilisation/absorption. Creatine is also found naturally in wholefoods including fish and red meat (approx. 3-6 grams of creatine per kilo) and is also formed in the liver from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Creatine supplementation works by increasing the amount of phosphocreatine, a high energy phosphate compound, in the body. Phosphocreatine is the second source of energy used for muscular contractions after ATP (adenosine-tri-phoshate) is used up. ATP is the primary energy source into which all other fuels are broken down and is what is used in the mitochondria in the muscle cell to produce energy. It is stored in the muscle and is available for instant energy. Only enough ATP for about 5 seconds of maximum contraction is stored in the muscle.Once used for energy, the ATP molecule loses a phosphate molecule and converts to ADP (adenosine-di-phosphate) which is biologically inactive. Phosphocreatine regenerates the ADP back to ATP by providing its own phosphate molecule. Once the phosphocreatine is used up, ATP has to be regenerated through the metabolism of substrates such as glycogen, fatty acids and amino acids.By loading and then using a maintenance dose of creatine you increase the amount of phosphocreatine available in the body to convert ADP to ATP. This results in a greater length of time over which the muscle can be exercised and a greater workload exerted upon the muscle. This then leads to greater muscle growth and strength.Another effect creatine has is an increase in the amount of water bought into the muscle cell along with the creatine. This results in the increased pump users exhibit when loading on creatine and maximises the size of the muscle. This extra water is thought to increase the muscle cell volume, activating more muscle protein and glycogen synthesis, reducing muscle breakdown and increasing muscle mass. Due to this extra water being pushed into the muscle cell, extra water should be consumed whilst using creatine.If you find yourself getting headaches or cramps when using creatine, it will be because you arent consuming enough water and hence are becoming dehydrated. While using creatine it is best to avoid drinking alcohol as, due to its diuretic action, this can cause you to excrete alot of the creatine from the body. Also it is best to avoid coffee and caffeinated beverages as these also act as diuretics, stripping water from the body, causing dehydration. Much of this diuretic effect can be avoided by increasing your water intake - drink an extra glass of water for each caffeinated beverage consumed.Creatine may also act as a Lactic acid buffer. Lactic acid is a byproduct of the conversion of glycogen, glucose and fatty acids into ATP. By having ample stores of phosphoocreatine ready to convert ADP to ATP, the use of these alternative fuel sources is reduced, thus limiting the amount of lactic acid produced resulting in less muscle soreness and improved recovery.<h2>HOW DO I USE CREATINE MONOHYDRATE?</h2><strong>CREATINE LOADING PHASE - DAYS 1 to 5:</strong>It is recommended to load for five days and then go on a maintenance phase for 5 to 8 weeks. During the loading phase (5 days) it is suggested to use 4-6 serves daily, each serve being a heaped teaspoon - approx 5 grams, spread over the course of the day.<strong>CREATINE MAINTENANCE PHASE - 5-8 weeks:</strong>During the maintenance phase (up to 8 weeks) you can use 3 to 5 grams daily. After the maintenance phase it is recommended to have a break from creatine use for 1-2 weeks before beginning the "cycle" again if desired.The most important time for the use of creatine, as with most other supplements, is within an hour of completing training when the body is most responsive and requires all the nutrients it can get for optimum recovery. During the maintenance phase you would therefore use one serve post workout and if required, another serve approximately 8-12 hours before or after training (depending on time of day trained).There are now studies showing that the loading phase may not be required and that users will be able to get similar results on just a maintenance dosage only. Typically these studies showed that after a month or so of regular low doses (i.e. 5 to 10g per day) bloodlevels of creatine were found to be the same as after one week of loading. The benefit of loading is that you reach this level sooner and start getting the full benefits of creatine supplementation. This is down to the individual and so it may be a case of experimenting with the dosage level and finding the one most suited to your body and training requirements. <h2>CREATINE AND CARBOHYDRATES</h2>Many users find that they get better results from creatine when combined with high glycemic (High GI) carbohydrates. High GI carbs result in an insulin spike within the body. This helps with the uptake of creatine as the creatine is pushed through the muscle cell membrane by the insulin. This can be acheived either by consuming 5 grams of creatine with grape juice (approx 250-300ml provides 30 grams carbs), some other form of simple carbs (white bread),Waxy Maize Starch, Maltodextrin or dextrose monohydrate. Dextrose monohydrate, also known as glucose, is sold as Brewing Sugar in home brew stores and supermarkets (around $5 per kg) and is a very cost effective solution for increasing the insulin response.<h2>NOT ALL CREATINE IS PURE CREATINE</h2>All good Sport Nutrition brands these days use Creatine that is certified to be free from impurities and heavy metals. The two biggest manufacturers of certified creatine are Pfanstiehl (USA) and Creapure (manufactured by AlzChem Trostberg GmbH in Germany). Creapure would now be recognised as the biggest producer of creatine and highest quality and purity, having produced creatine from the mid 1990's.Most reputable manufacturers source creatine from these producers and are then licenced to carry a logo on their product label to let consumers know that the creatine is tested and free from any impurities.Sadly there are still companies out there willing to make a fast buck at the expense of quality and a disregard for the safety of consumers who use cheaper creatine manufactured in China with questionable quality control, so always look for either the Pfanstiehl logo or Creapure logo on the product. If you are using a brand without either of these two logos, then it is possible that the creatine contains dangerous levels of impurities and will do you more harm than good. <strong>Even if you think it is a reputable Sports Nutrition brand, if they aren't willing to state where the creatine is manufactured, avoid it. Cheap creatine can contain a lot of impurities and so you may not get the results you should, as well as potentially poisoning yourself whilst using it.</strong><h2>CREATINE MYTHS</h2>There are many myths surrounding creatine use, the most significant being that creatine use can cause kidney or renal problems. This is totally unfounded and based on a study conducted on humans with pre-existing kidney problems. No studies on healthy individuals has shown any longterm negative side effects. In a 1999 study, no detrimental kidney effects were noticed in long term users (10 months to 5 years) compared to a control group [1].Other popular myths are that it can cause dehydration, cramping, nausea and water retention. True, most users will experience increased muscle cell hydration as creatine draws fluid into muscle. This accounts for the initial weight increase that most users experience. Any cramping is due to the user not drinking enough fluids to counter this, so it is always suggested to increase water intake whilst using creatine.Creatine is possibly the most studied performance enhancing sports supplement available. No other creatine alternative or creatine based supplement has been shown to be as effective in peer reviewed clinical studies as creatine monohydrate powder. Current studies indicate that short-term creatine supplementation in healthy individuals is safe. [2]There has been much controversy over the incidence of muscle cramping with the use of creatine, mainly pushed by manufacturers of so called buffered creatine formulas. However a study conducted at the University of Memphis showed no reports of muscle cramping in subjects taking creatine-containing supplements during various exercise training conditions in trained and untrained endurance athletes. [4].And in a 2003 study, no detrimental overall health effects were noted in a 69-item panel of serum, whole blood, and urinary markers of clinical health status in athletes. All groups, including those in the longest range of 1221 months, (mean 19.3 2.4 months, n = 17) were not seen to have any significant differences between the control group. [3]<strong>Pure Creatine Monohydrate powder should be the first supplement of choice for anyone serious about increasing muscle size and strength in the gym. There are many new creatine formulas all promising great things, however Creatine Monohydrate is still the only creatine product to have been studied extensively and proven to work.</strong>REFERENCES:1.

]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><strong>A: </strong>Nitric oxide (NO) boosters are all the rage at the moment however generally can be a little expensive compared to other supplements. Using a pure arginine supplement to boost your NO can work out a lot more cost effective however you do need to make sure you use a few extra supplements with it. Arginine is classified as a nonessential amino acid but may be considered semiessential in stressful situations, and demand may be increased through high intensity training. L-arginine is involved in the generation of nitric oxide in the body.<strong>Nitric oxide is a free radical that can do cell damage at high levels in the body, and may cause more harm than good. </strong>You must make sure to use a decent antioxidant supplement to reduce this free radical damage - Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Alpha-Lipoic Acid and N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) are some of your best choices and should help reduce any free radical damage done by increased NO levels from high arginine dosing. Many of the over the counter NO boosters will have some form of anti-oxidants added because of this.The main benefit of enhancing NO levels in your body is that it increases vasodilation of the blood vessels. This essentially reduces your blood pressure and helps increase blood flow to your muscles. This increased blood flow increases oxygen and nutrient transport, as well as potentially speeding the removal of waste by-products like lactic acid from the muscles. This vasodilation is what gives users the enhanced muscle pumps and increased vascularity after using an NO supp, and is the main reason that the products have become so popular.The best results from NO boosters will be achieved when combined with creatine as the increase in NO should help enhance the transport of the creatine (as well as other nutrients) into the muscle cells leading to increased muscle power and greater longterm muscle growth. Again most OTC NO supps will contain some form of creatine, so if you are using a pure arginine supplement I would always recommend stacking it with a good quality pure creatine monohydrate (Creapure Creatine is the most pure and safest creatine monohydrate to use).Other supplements that you could combine with Arginine to take advantage of increased NO and nutrient transport would be Beta-alanine (to enhance carnosine and reduce lactic acid buildup), BCAA's, Histidine and Ornithine (also NO stimulators). It's probably going to be best used about 30 mins before training so you could add some form of carbohydrates, and a little bit of sodium to help increase uptake as well.<h3>L-Arginine Dosing</h3>L-arginine has been studied at oral doses of 6 to 30 g/day for a variety of conditions. For strength training typically L-Arginine can be used 2 to 3 times per day, with dosages of up to 3 grams per serve for effective NO stimulation. For increased pump and nutrient transport during training a serving may be used 30-45 minutes prior to weight training sessions. High doses of L-Arginine may cause stomach upset and diarrhea, so it is best to start with a low dose when first using it. <<strong>High Doses of L-Arginine MUST always be used with antioxidants to avoid free radical damage.</strong><h3>Side Effects of L-Arginine:</h3> Caution should be taken when using high doses of Arginine. Anyone susceptible to viral infections, Coldsores or the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) should avoid its use, as it can stimulate or feed such infections. Arginine should not be used by people with glaucoma, as it reduces arterial pressure and increases retinal blood flow unless prescribed by a physician.Other potential side effects include low blood pressure and changes in numerous chemicals and electrolytes in the blood. Examples include high potassium, high chloride, low sodium, low phosphate, high blood urea nitrogen, and high creatinine levels. People with liver or kidney diseases may be especially sensitive to these complications and should avoid using arginine except under medical supervision. After injections of arginine, low back pain, flushing, headache, numbness, restless legs, venous irritation, and death of surrounding tissues have been reported.In theory, arginine may increase the risk of bleeding. Patients using anticoagulants (blood thinners) or antiplatelet drugs, or with underlying bleeding disorders, should speak with their qualified healthcare providers before using arginine and should be monitored.L-arginine has unpredictable effects on insulin and cholesterol-lowering agents. L-arginine may potentiate the effects of isosorbide mononitrate and sodium nitroprusside. Arginine may increase blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in patients taking prescription drugs to control sugar levels.Arginine may increase potassium levels, especially in patients with liver disease.L-arginine may worsen symptoms of sickle cell disease. </div>

If you are a hard gainer and havent gained any weight or size since you started training, if you are just new to training and wanting to add some muscle mass and strength, or simply looking to mass up so youre bigger than your mates, implement these into your daily routine to maximise your results.

<div class="product-description"><h3>1) EAT! YOU MUST CONSUME MORE CALORIES THAN YOU USE FOR ENERGY</h3>This means you need to eat as much as possible, and as often as possible. You may think you eat a lot - but if youre not gaining any weight you need to eat more. And this means everyday - not just on your training days or when you remember. No amount of training is going to help you gain mass unless you are eating enough food, and eating consistently. This may sound simple but is one of the most common mistakes that hardgainers make.Truth is - there are no hardgainers - just people who dont eat enough, or often enough, on a consistent basis. You should aim for at least 6 meals per day, eating every 2 to 3 hours, with protein and carbs with every meal. By eating more often, your body utilises food more effectively, your energy levels will remain more stable, your recovery rates will be faster, and your muscle and strength gains will be maximised.PUT SIMPLY - If youre not gaining weight, youre not eating enough.<h3>2) CALCULATE YOUR REQUIRED DAILY CALORIE REQUIREMENTS AND STICK TO IT</h3> An easy way to calculate your required daily calorie intake is to multiply your bodyweight in kilos by 2.2 x 16i.e. 80kg x 2.2 x 16 = 2816 calories per dayFor mass gain, add an extra 20% to this: 2816 x 0.20 = 563 extra calories per dayAdd these together: 2816 + 563 = 3379 calories per dayThis is the minimum amount of calories required for mass gain at 80kg bodyweight (activity level also effects this - if you do a labour intensive job you may need to add extra calories to this - if you still find that you arent gaining any mass, add an extra 10% calories per week until you start gaining). If you tend to gain bodyfat easily, and would prefer to gain mainly lean mass, add fewer calories to your maintaneance intake. Aim for around 10% rather than 20%.<h3>3) EAT QUALITY PROTEIN WITH EVERY MEAL</h3> Use a quality Whey protein or muscle gaining protein formula. Muscle tissue is made up of proteins. Every time you train you break down muscle tissue (protein). Your body then repairs this damage using protein from your diet. This results in increased muscle size, density and strength. If you dont eat enough protein, your body cant repair this damage and so you wont grow. Always make sure to eat within 45 minutes of finishing training - an easy to digest Whey protein like Balance 100% Whey or Pharmasports 100% Whey or Mass gainer is your best bet to help aid muscle repair and growth.For best results eat at least 2g to 3g of protein per kilo of bodyweight per day (everyday - not just on your training days) - eg: 80kg bodyweight x 2 = at least 160grams to 240grams of protein per day, 7 days per week.Good quality wholefood protein sources include - Chicken Breast, Turkey, Lean red meat, Fish, Tuna, Salmon, Whey Protein, Eggs (Egg white and whole eggs), Cottage Cheese, and low fat Milk.Some good all in one mass gainer formulas are Pharmasports GROWTH, Leppin BulkPro4, Cytosport CytoGainer . High quality Lean Mass gainers with a higher protein to carbohydrate ratio are Cytosport Muscle Milk, and Leppin Muscle Pro4.<h3>4) BREAKDOWN YOUR DAILY CALORIE INTAKE INTO PROTEIN, CARBS AND FAT</h3>Now you know how much protein you should eat you need to calculate how much fat and carbs you need to eat.You should aim for approx 20 to 25% calories from fat. Take you daily calorie count - 3379 x 0.25 = 844 calories from fat.Each gram of fat contains 9 calories so divide this figure by 9 to get grams of fat - 844/9 = 94g of fat per daySo at 80kg you are eating at least 160g or protein. Each gram of protein equals 4 calories, so you are getting 640 calories from protein, plus 844 calories from Fat. Subtract this from your total calorie intake and you have you total required carb intake, then divide by 4 again (each gram of carbs contains 4 calories) to get the grams of carbs per day that you need3379 - (640+844) = 1895 cals from carbs/4 = 474grams of carbs per daySo for an 80kg male this is how your daily diet should break down:Protein - 160g (640 calories)Carbs - 474 (1895 calories)Fat - 94g (846 calories)<h3>5) TRAIN REGULARLY AND CONSISTANTLY</h3>Regular and consistent weight training is required for you to gain quality muscle mass without adding excessive amounts of bodyfat. You should be weight training at least 3 or 4 days per week, for around 45 to 60 mins each session. Make sure to use a training diary and plan out and record every training session - including day and date, time of day, muscle group trained, exercises, weights and repetitions, and weekly bodyweight measurements. For maximum muscle and mass gain limit your cardio and aerobic exercise.<h3>6) USE SUPPLEMENTS - STICK WITH THE BASICS AND USE PROVEN PRODUCTS</h3>CREATINE - The most effective and proven product available for increasing explosive power, strength and lean mass gains. Most suitable for enhancing explosive power for increased muscle strength, speed, and power in the gym.HMB - Helps to suppress protein/muscle tissue breakdown for enhanced recovery and faster muscle and strength gainsGLUTAMINE - this is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is depleted through heavy training. The use of glutamine can enhance the immune system, improve recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and also aid with increasing muscle cell volume for enhanced strength and muscle gains.There are many other supplements on the market, however get the basics right first as these will give you the best gains.<h3>7) ALLOW ADEQUATE RECOVERY BETWEEN TRAINING SESSIONS</h3>Allowing your body to recover is vital. If you spend your weekends partying, or are up all night watching TV and not getting a minimum of 8 hours sleep each night, your mass gain, muscle growth and muscle recovery will be impaired. Aim for at least 8 hours of quality sleep each night and watch your body grow. For maximum muscle gains, allow 72 hours between training the same body part. Never train a msucle group that is sore from a a previous training sessionPOST TRAINING - YOUR MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAYImmediately after training you need to have a fast digesting protein and carbohydrate based shake. Aim for a higher carb intake than your normal meals - this should be made up of simple carbs (dextrose, waxy maize starch) and complex carbs (maltodextrin). The mix of simple carbs to complex should be 1 to 1 i.e. 30g maltodextrin to 30g dextrose. The amount of protein and carbs to use depends on your bodyweight - aim for 0.80g of carbs per kilo of bodyweight and 0.4g of protein per kilo of bodyweight - i.e. 80kg b/w = 64 grams carbs (32g Dextrose/32g maltodextrin) + 32g protein preferably hydrolysed whey, whey protein isolate or a good whey protein concentrate.__________________</div>

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00117-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />There are many different ways to go about fat loss, from the drastic cutting back of calories typically at the expense of muscle tissue, to increased cardio training, the use of thermogenic supplements, and low carb diets. Obviously the more time we have to achieve our fat loss goals the better as there is more likelihood of retaining more of that hard earned muscle tissue whilst also being able to avoid some of more hardcore and undesirable dieting tactics.Late Spring, early Summer is the time of year when most people's goals turn from muscle and strength gain, towards focusing on getting lean and toned for summer. If youve followed a good diet and training routine and kept yourself relatively lean during winter than it may just be a simple adjustment of calorie intake or an increase in cardio that is required to get you into beach readiness. But if youve let your training and diet slip, or if your only just resuming training again after a winter hibernation, more drastic measures may be required.Unfortunately there isn't a magic bullet for fatloss, nor are there any products that work effectively without exercise. However if you are training regularly, and are prepared to eat appropriately, there are a few ways to help enhance and accelerate the body's rate of fat burning. Ill focus on some of the more proven and effective fatloss plans.

<div class="product-description"><h3>A little bit of Maths:</h3>First a simple formula that can help you plan your diet and training:A simple formula for estimating how many calories you need to cut back on is that for every 3,500 calories that you dont eat or that you burn up through exercise, you will lose 500g of fat. For example, to lose 500g of fat per week you would need to have a daily calorie deficit of 500 calories (500cals x 7 days = 3500 cals), which can be achieved in several ways.This calorie deficit doesn't necessarily mean 500 calories off the levels of calories you are currently eating. This reduction should be off your maintenance level of calories - or the level of calories required so that you are neither gaining weight nor losing weight. This can be found out quite simply by keeping a food diary for a month or so and calculating the calories required to maintain your weight. A food diary is a vital component to any dieters success and makes it much simpler to measure what is working best for you. It is also a good way of keeping yourself on track as you are less likely to cheat on your diet when you are writing down everything that you are eating.Another way you can also roughly work out your maintenance calorie intake is by multiplying your bodyweight (kg) by 20, and then multiply by your daily activity level of either1.2-1.3 for Very Light (bed rest)1.5-1.6 for Light (office work/watching TV)1.6-1.7 for Moderate (some activity during day)1.9-2.1 for Heavy (labor type work)i.e. bodyweight 80kg x 20 x 1.6 = approx 2560 calories per dayPersonally I recommend to use a food diary for at least a month, as this will give you a more exact amount of how many calories you require. It will also help show up any possible problems or areas for improvement in your diet, as well as providing a useful tool for looking back at further down the track.<h3>Cutting Back on Calories:</h3>This is the first choice for many as it seems the most obvious. A restriction in calories seems like a good idea as you will be burning more energy than you are taking in and therefore lose weight. Initially results may seem quite good as weightloss may come quite quickly. Unfortunately this will soon slow until you have to drop your calories even further to affect further weight loss. When you do eventually stop this type of dieting you soon realise that you may have lost weight but not the type of weight you were after. The body reacts to a drastic reduction in calories by effectively going into survival mode. This is where it tends to store whatever food you are eating as it thinks it will require it later on for fuel, and burns up your muscle tissue (protein) instead.Typical of many a crash dieter, the main weight lost is muscle tissue. This has a double edged effect as the more muscle tissue you have the higher your metabolic rate or the more calories your body burns. By losing muscle tissue you are lowering your metabolic rate - this causes the rebound effect that occurs when people finish dieting as they tend to resume their regular calorie intake and rapidly pack the weight on as they dont require anywhere near as many calories.<h3>Resistance Training and Aerobics:</h3>To maintain a lean, toned physique, combining both resistance (weight) training and some form of aerobic/cardiovascular training is best. Resistance or weight training helps to increase your lean muscle mass, hence increasing your metabolic rate and making your body more efficient at burning calories and bodyfat. Aerobics - running, swimming, cycling etc - helps the body to burn calories during training whilst also offering the benefit of an increased metabolic rate for some time following the conclusion of the training. By increasing the amount or intensity of aerobic training you can effectively burn more calories and hence increase your calorie deficit.<h3>Thermogenics:</h3>Thermogenics probably offer people the most common "quick fix" fatloss tool, effectively allowing the user to lose fat without having to change their diet or training. Thermogenic means heat producing or fat burning and thermogenic products are designed to increase the bodys core temperature, increase the metabolic rate, and accelerate calorie expenditure.The ECA Stack:Traditionally thermogenic products followed the ECA stack - Ephedrine, Caffeine, Aspirin.Ephedrine is a powerful thermogenic, and Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulator that can contribute to rapid fat loss. Unfortunately it has a few negative side effects, namely can cause heart palpitations, shaking, nervousness and anxiety, and as such is classified as prescription only medicine in NZ, and it has been recently reclassified in the USA.Up until recently, thermogenics available in the States typically contained MaHuang (contains ephedrine), whilst products in New Zealand contain Citrus Aurantium (Synephrine). The ECA stack is becoming increasingly unpopular in the USA, due to the supposed side effects caused by Ephedrine, so many sports nutrition companies have ceased production of ephedra based supplements, instead focusing on producing effective ephedra-free fat loss supplements without any harmful side effects.Citrus AurantiumCitrus Aurantium is referred to as the calmer cousin of ephedrine as it offers similar thermogenic properties but without the effect on the CNS. Products should provide about 200-400mg of Citrus Aurantium standardized to 6%- 10% Synephrine - this will provide approx 20-40mg Synephrine. Products containing MaHuang will typically provide 20mg ephedrine.CaffeineCaffeine is typically added as when combined with ephedrine and synephrine, they work synergistically together to produce greater benefits than if each one were used separately. Caffeine also offers good thermogenic properties as well as stimulating adrenaline release. Guarana is often used instead of caffeine and this typically contains 22% caffeine. Around 200mg of caffeine is recommended for best results (a 10:1 ratio of caffeine to ephedrine/synephrine).AspirinAspirin is added as it helps thin the blood and can enhance the effects of thermogenics. Aspirin is commonly found in thermogenic products in the form of White Willow bark which contains salicylates (aspirin). Around 100mg of aspirin is recommended or 400mg White Willow bark standardized at 4:1.Other common ingredients:Along with these three ingredients, sports nutrition manufacturers will often combine other ingredients that can be of benefit whilst dieting. These typically include - Hydroxy Citric Acid (HCA) - Can also be called Garcinia Cambogia, HCA helps to suppress the appetite and helps with carbohydrate utilisation by inhibiting the conversion of carbs to fat. HCA is also marketed under the name Citrimax, which is a just a Trademark for one particular brand. L-Carnitine - An amino acid that transfers fatty acids across cell membranes into the mitochondria where they are used for energy. Basically L-Carnitine can mobilise bodyfat and help move it into the muscle cells to be burnt up as fuel. For best results the use of around 500mg-1000mg before training is recommended. Naringin - Naringin, or Grapefruit extract is often included as it helps to prolong and extend the thermogenic effect of caffeine. Green Tea Leaf Extract - Green Tea Leaf Extract helps to slow the absorption of carbohydrates, slowing the insulin response. This helps to prevent the sugar/energy spike common with high glycemic or sugary carbs, helping to prevent the storage of carbs as bodyfat. Green Tea also offers good antioxidant properties which can aid in recovery as well as containing a small amount of caffeine. Some other less common ingredients that can be included are:Cayenne pepper - increases body temperatureChromium - helps to stabilise blood sugar levelsL-Tyrosine - precursor to adrenaline, stimulates the release of stored bodyfat, elevates mood<h3>Cycling Thermogenics:</h3>When using thermogenics it is best to cycle them and only use them for periods of 2-4 weeks. This is to avoid becoming too reliant on them for you training as they can provide alot of extra energy. Often, after extended periods of use, training without them can seem quite difficult, due to the bodys energy levels returning to normal. It is best to use either an alternating day cycle (Mon, Wed, Fri), or a 2 day split cycle (Mon,Tue, Thur, Fri), so that you use them no more than 2 days in a row and no more than 4 days a week.<h3>Cutting back on Carbohydrates:</h3>Limiting carbohydrate intake is one of the more popular ways at the moment to assist in losing fat. By cutting back on carbs the body has to utilise protein (muscle) and bodyfat for energy. By maintaining a high protein intake to spare the muscles from being used for fuel, one can effectively burn fat. Another benefit is that, with a reduced carb intake, there is less likelihood of the body storing the carbs you are eating as bodyfat.Typically most people will eat normal carbohydrate levels during the early part of the day, and then either reduce their carb intake or eliminate carbs altogether from 3pm onwards (the last 2-3 meals).With reduced carb intake comes reduced energy levels. Depending on the extent of restriction, training can obviously begin to suffer. This will usually occur after 2-3 weeks and so it can be best to cycle in 2 week intervals of low carbs and then 2 weeks of maintenance carb intake, then resume the cycle if required. Using thermogenics can help provide the extra energy to train and increase the fatloss potential of a low carb diet and this can mean that carbs can be depleted for longer periods.Eventually though, one can reach a state of overtraining. This is when you can begin to feel rundown and training starts to go downhill. At this point it is best to resume normal carb intake.It is most important to ensure an adequate protein intake when restricting carbs, and often it may be that you have to increase your protein intake by 25-50% over normal levels to help maintain muscle. Using protein sparing supplements like HMB, Glutamine and methoxy and ecdysterone based products can also help ensure that you retain more muscle. As I said earlier the more muscle you can retain the higher your metabolic rate and so the quicker bodyfat can be burnt.<h3>Putting it all together:</h3>You can choose to use one or all of these methods in varying combinations to help assist your fat loss. By combining these methods you can increase the calorie deficit to quite high levels. By lowering your carb intake, using thermogenics and/or increasing your level of aerobic training you should be able to easily reach a calorie deficit of 500 calories/day to safely allow for at least 500g of fat loss per week.</div>

<![CDATA[
<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00115-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />They say theres more than one way to skin a cat, and theres even more ways to lose weight. However there are some tried and true methods that just cant be beaten for helping build muscle, burn fat and tone up your body. Follow these seven basic steps and start getting results today.<h2>1) DONT SKIP MEALS - EAT EVERY 2 TO 3 HOURS - THATS AT LEAST 6 MEALS PER DAY. </h2>By eating smaller meals more often, your body is able to utilise foods more effectively. Youll notice improved energy levels as your blood sugar levels should be more stable with more regular eating, avoiding the afternoon low that many people experience after lunch. By feeding the body smaller meals every 2 or 3 hours youll find that you are also less likely to feel hungry and overeat in the later part of the day, when energy requirements are lower and excess food is more likely to end up converted to bodyfat.

<div class="product-description">Many people on diets cut meals out in the mistaken idea that eliminating meals will help drop weight. Unfortunately this isnt the case. By reducing meals and calories your metabolism will slow down to conserve energy due to the low amount being consumed. This will mean that when you do eat your body will store the unused calories as fat, thinking that you may need to survive for a long time without food. You are also more likely to break the diet and overeat at night when your body least requires it. By eating regular meals, your metabolism should be more consistently active throughout the day, actually helping to increase fat loss. <h2>2) EAT SMART. A BALANCED DIET CREATES A BALANCED BODY. </h2>There are many types of diets out there that all promise to be better than the other - low carb, low fat, low sugar, low starch, high fibre, low protein, high protein etc. Whatever diet you choose to follow, keep in mind that for all round health the best type is a balanced diet, one that includes protein, carbs and fats. Your body requires all three of these macronutrients to operate at optimum capacity.Protein provides the building blocks for your body's cells and muscles, including your hair, and skin. Good protein sources include lean meats like chicken breast, turkey, lean red meat, as well as most fish. Eggs and dairy protein are also popular choices for many people. To ensure adequate protein intake, many people rely on the use of a good protein supplement as a convenient wy of maintaining muscle tone while stripping fat. A popular choice suitable for all levels of training would be a good quality whey protein concentrate. Quality whey protein concentrates are typically low cost, high in protein at around 77% protein, and low in carbs and fat. Carbohydrates help fuel your body, and provide your muscles with the energy required during exercise. Carbohydrates, in the form of glucose, are also the only source of energy that the brain and central nervous system use. While your body can convert fats and proteins into glucose, if you want your body and mind to function optimally you need to consume carbohydrates. Carbohydrates also provide dietary fibre, that neither fats nor proteins can provide.Fats are also important to your diet, however there are good fats and bad fats. Good fats provide your body with essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's cannot be made by your body and are important for maintaining many of your body's functions, including the immune system and helping maintain healthy skin, hair and nails. The healthy fats that you want to have in your diet are mono, and poly-unsaturated fats, and are found in olive, canola, flaxseed, hempseed and avocado oils, as well as in nuts and seeds. Cold water fish, such as Salmon, sardines and Tuna, are also high in healthy essential fats acids, and are particularly good sources of the heart healthy Omega 3 fatty acid.You shouldnt worry about getting fat by eating these types of fats. Healthy fats actually help your body burn fat more effectively by increasing your metabolic rate, and can help lower your insulin resistance, helping your body use insulin better. Insulin resistance can lead to many health problems including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. By lowering your insulin resistance you may lower your susceptibility to many common health problems. Using one or two tablespoons per day of a good quality EFA supplement will help you meet your requirements. For around $25 for a 500ml bottle this represents excellent value if you're really serious about enhancing your health.The fats you want to avoid are saturated and trans fats. This includes the fats found in most red meat, butter, margarine, high fat cheese, coconut oil, and any processed or fried foods. Any fat that is solid or semi solid at room temperature should be avoided.Rather than counting calories and having to measure everything you eat, you should practice control over the amount of food you eat, or the portion size of your meals. Each meal should be made up of a portion of protein and a portion of carbohydrates. This is an idea popularized by the Body-for-LIFE diet and tends to suit most people. A portion is equal to the size of the palm of your hand or clenched fist. If you practice portion control with each meal you should be eating enough to match your body size. <h2>3) COMBINE AEROBIC TRAINING WITH RESISTANCE TRAINING. </h2>Theres no way around it, if youre serious about losing weight, you are going to have to get off your butt and do some work. If you havent been off the couch for a while then start out slowly. Maybe just with some brisk walking or a light jog three to four days per week. However after a while you going to need to step it up a notch or two.For fat burning I personally favour short duration, high intensity training over long duration training. This can include sprint training, hill running or shuttle runs. By training at a high intensity, your metabolism will be elevated for hours after training, prolonging calorie burning. You will also find that it only takes around 20 minutes to complete, which is great if youre short on time. If you prefer to train at a lower intensity, i.e. power walking or jogging, this is still an effective way to help increase the metabolism and assist weight loss but you will have to train for a longer duration, normally 30-60 minutes, to burn sufficient calories. If you can, do your aerobic training in the morning on an empty stomach. You may not have as much energy or stamina, but your body will be more likely to use stored fat for an energy source.For maximum benefit combine this with resistance or weight training. Weight training will help develop and tone your muscles, making them appear firmer and aid in strength and muscle growth. Muscle is more metabolically active than bodyfat, and by adding muscle through weight training, you are also helping to increase your metabolism and so your body is able to burn more calories. Many women worry about doing too much weight training as they are worried about bulking up and looking overly muscled. Never fear, muscle is more dense that fat and so you will find that if you gain the same weight of muscle that you lose of fat, you will appear smaller and more trim. <h2>4) SET GOALS </h2>You need to know what you want to achieve, and when you want to achieve it. Theres no use starting out on a voyage if you dont know where youre going, as youll never know when youve arrived. Its the same with dieting and training - set some tough, but realistic goals to work towards. To help keep yourself going, set short term and long term goals. Break your goal setting down into 4 week intervals. That means that every four weeks you have something to keep pushing yourself towards. When you achieve your 4 week goals - reward yourself. And then get back into it and work towards your next goals. Many people work in 12 week intervals, setting the real major goals to be achieved within 12 weeks. Make sure to write these goals down, and have them up in places that you frequent alot. Next to the bed is a great place and you can read them each night, and each morning. Many people also find having their goals up on the fridge or pantry door also works well. If you go into the kitchen for a quick snack that you know you shouldnt have, your goal sheet will be there reminding you of what you want to achieve, helping to keep you on track. <h2>5) KEEP A FOOD AND TRAINING DIARY, AND PLAN AHEAD.</h2>This is one of the best ways to improve your success. Buy a diary from a bookshop with one page per day, and every Sunday plan out each week of eating and training in advance. Write down exactly what you are going to eat, and the times that you are going to eat, train, sleep and drink, and stick to it. To make it easier to stick with your plan, prepare some of your meals in advance and freeze them. That way, if youre too tired to fix anything or too busy, youll already have something healthy prepared that you can quickly and easily get ready. And make sure to regularly measure your progress and keep records of all your measurements. <h2>6) MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS. </h2>To keep yourself motivated and on track, you need to know where your starting from, and how your doing along the way. There are several methods you can use, some more complicated than others. Make sure to choose one that you have easy and regular access to. You can choose from any of the following:Weight only scales - while the most common, not all that accurate. By just monitoring weight alone, you cannot tell if the weight you are losing is fat (good), or muscle (bad). Some people may actually gain muscle whilst losing fat and will get dismayed by a lack of change in their bodyweight. Remember, muscle is metabolically more active than fat, and much denser. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolic rate should be - or the more easily your body can burn calories and fat. Muscle is also much denser, meaning that as you gain muscle, and lose fat, your body will tighten and tone up, and you will appear smaller and more trim.Tape measure - Taking your measurements by tape can be a good and easy way of monitoring your results. Just take some measurements at the start your diet of waist, hips, chest, upper arms, and legs, and then also at regular intervals every 4 weeks to measure your results.Bodyfat calipers - Commonly used in gyms, and by nutritionists, bodyfat calipers can provide an accurate, but not very convenient form or measuring your bodyfat percentage. For best results you need to use the same person each time the test is repeated, and they need to be skilled in knowing the right sites for testing as well as how to use the calipers. This isnt really something that can be accurately done at home unless you know what you are doing.Bodyfat monitor scales - These offer perhaps the most convenient and quickest method of monitoring your progress. By accurately measuring both your bodyfat percentage, as well as your bodyweight, they can quickly show you how well you are going. With models now commonly available for use at home these are one of the best ways to monitor your health and fitness goals.<h2>7) FIND A TRAINING PARTNER</h2>This is a great way to keep yourself motivated and on track. Find a friend or workmate that you can regularly train with. By regularly training with someone, you will keep each other motivated. You will depend on your partner to turn up to training, and you will know they are depending on you to turn up. You can also push each other to try harder during training, and you can even make a competition out of it, seeing who can get the best results.Whoever you choose, make sure they share the same goals as you. And make sure that they are fully committed to it and arent likely to give up after a week. Training with someone at the same level as you is ideal as you should progress along at similar rates. However if you can find someone that has achieved what you are wanting to do, then their experience may be beneficial. They will probably know a few little tricks to help speed up your results and will be able to motivate you through the tough times.</div>

What you might be asking yourself is why has whey protein become so popular? What makes it better than other forms of protein and such a staple of bodybuilders and sports athletes diets? </h3>In this article you'll find out the basics of what makes whey protein your first choice of supplements when preparing your nutrition plan and diet. 
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Protein contains Amino Acids and Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) which are the building blocks for muscle. Without sufficient amino acids the body cannot repair and build muscle and so recovery from muscle damage done through training can be slow or nonexistent. The body can be in a catabolic state, using more protein (muscle) than it is rebuilding. Different proteins contain different amounts and types of amino acids as well as offering different absorption and digestion properties so benefits can be gained from using combinations of proteins depending on training and dietary requirements.Good protein is obtained from whole food protein sources like turkey breast, tuna, chicken breast, lean red meat, cottage cheese and milk, and from protein supplements, popular today due to convenience, ease of use, and economy.<h3>Whey Protein</h3>By far the most popular protein supplement available today is whey protein. Whey is one of the two major proteins found in milk (casein is the other) and is isolated from milk as a by product in the production of cheese and casein. Pure whey contains a large amount of the milk sugar lactose, as well as a variety of proteins, fat and cholesterol.Whey traditionally used to be considered a waste product and dumped on fields and into the nearest lake. Fortunately whey was discovered to contain high quality proteins and somethods have been devised to remove as much of the undesirable lactose, fat and cholesterol as possible from the protein. Original methods developed included acid treatment and high temperature drying. This unfortunately destroyed much of the protein and ruined the quality of the protein extracted.New methods have been developed that can extract the protein from the whey while maintaining its quality. The most common methods today include ultra-filtration, micro-filtration, ion-exchange and cross flow micro-filtration. Ultra-filtration and micro-filtration use a low temperature process where the proteins are physically separated by filters. The ion-exchange process removes the protein through an ion-exchange column that takes advantage of the specific electronic charges of the protein, fat and lactose contained in the whey and uses opposite charges to extract each individual component. Crossflow micro-filtration uses natural, nonchemical ceramic membranes to separate the undenatured whey protein from the fat and denatured protein.All of these processes result in a high quality whey protein, low in fat and lactose. Always be sure to check the label for which method or methods have been used, as some of the cheaper proteins may use whey proteins that have been processed by cheaper acid treatment or high temperatures and contain high levels of undenatured proteins. Undenatured proteins are unusable by the body and result in the whey having a bitter taste when consumed. A good quality protein powder will always list in the ingredients panel or on the label whether it is microfilltered, ultrafiltered or ion-exchange. If it simply lists whey protein concentrate or isolate you can only assume that it contains a cheaper form of protein.To build muscle you have to train hard, sleep well, and eat your protein. Pretty simple really. But with so many different protein sources available many people are confused about what their personal requirements are and so are not eating enough and are eating the wrong types of foods. When doing any form of training, whether for strength and muscle gains in the gym, endurance work including running, cycling and swimming or for team or individual sports, protein is crucial for aiding in recovery and helping rebuild damaged muscle tissue.<h3>Benefits of Whey Protein</h3>There are several benefits to choosing whey protein over other protein sources. Whey protein has an extremely high biological value (BV) afforded to it (Whey Protein BV = 104 with Whey Peptides having a BV between 110-159). The BV of a protein is essentially a measure of how well it is utilized by the body, and takes into account the amino acid profile, solubility and digestibility of the protein. Whey protein is an ideal source of protein post workout as it is absorbed extremely quickly to help rebuild damaged muscle.Whey protein contains the highest percentage of BCAAs of any protein source as well as high levels of essential amino acids. BCAAs protect muscle from protein breakdown and help to stimulate protein synthesis or muscle growth. Whey protein also contains protein fractions. These are the active components that high quality whey proteins should contain. These include Alpha-Lactalbumin, Immunoglobulins, Glycomacro-peptides and Lactoferrin. These components possess properties that support the immune system, act as antioxidants and can help with cell growth and repair in the body.Essential amino acids are important as the body cannot manufacture these itself and relies on getting them from the diet.Whey protein may also suitable for some lactose intolerant individuals as it is extremely low in lactose with some whey protein isolates being virtually lactose free.High quality whey proteins tend to be relatively expensive, with whey protein isolates being the most expensive source of protein available. Many companies produce several different sizes with the larger containers being more economical. Whey protein is also low in the essential amino acid phenylalanine as well as glutamine when compared to other protein powders. Many brands add these two components to help increase the BV of the protein and improve its effectiveness.With so many protein powders on the market you could be excused for not worrying too much about what sort of protein you use. Many people probably dont care about whether the protein they are using is instantised, partially hydrolysed, ultrafiltered, ion exchange whey protein isolate with low molecular weight whey peptides, featuring full spectrum whey protein fractions, including Glycomacropeptides, Beta Lactoglobulin and Lactoperoxidase. If you understood all of that then you probably dont need any help. But if you're like the majority of people who base their decision on whatever they find tastes best or which one your favorite bodybuilder used to pack on twenty kilos of solid muscle, then you may find some of the following information useful.While it may not be necessary to know exactly what all these terms mean, if you want to be able to make an informed choice and get the most from your training, it can be of benefit to know a few of the basics.<h3>Whey Protein Basics</h3>Lets start out with the two major types of Whey Protein - Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC), and Whey Protein Isolate (WPI). As stated earlier Whey protein is a by-product of cheese and casein production. Pure whey contains a large amount of the milk sugar lactose, as well as a variety of proteins, fat and cholesterol. To remove the undesirable components and produce a more pure protein, different filtration techniques can be employed. The most common are ultrafiltration and microfiltration, all of which are low temperature methods and so avoid denaturing the protein.Denaturing of protein, which occurs through the use of cheaper extraction methods using high temperatures and acid treatment, destroys the important protein fractions, lowering the biological activity or effectiveness of the protein. Denaturing can also occur after manufacture due to high temperatures. Never expose whey protein to high temperatures and direct sunlight for extended periods. Avoid leaving protein in a hot car, next to the oven in the kitchen or any other source of heat. Also avoid using whey protein in recipes that use high heat - muffins, pancakes etc, as this may denature the protein as well.WPC & WPIHigh quality WPCs are typically 70-85% protein, and are reasonably low in fat and lactose.WPIs however are typically greater than 85% protein, with some being over 90% protein. The most common extraction methods used to produce WPIs are Ion-exchange (IE), Cross flow Microfiltration (CFM) and Ultrafiltration (UF). Because of the extra cost involved in the production of CFM and ultrafiltered whey isolate the majority of supplement companies use ion-exchange whey.The Ion-exchanged (IE) process produces the most pure protein, gram for gram (around 95% protein), when compared to microfiltration and removes the protein through an ion-exchange column. This takes advantage of the specific electronic charges of the protein, fat and lactose contained in the whey and uses opposite charges to extract each individual component. Unfortunately this process uses chemical reagents to control the electrical charges. This can change the pH level and denature the whey by destroying some of the biologically active protein fractions.Crossflow Microfiltered (CFM) Whey Isolate is produced by passing the whey protein concentrate through natural, nonchemical ceramic membranes to remove the fat and denatured protein and is typically around 91% protein. Since chemicals arent used in this process, very little of the protein is denatured so the protein retains the important protein fractions.<h3>Protein fractions</h3>Protein fractions are the active components of whey that have their own unique effects on health and can help enhance immune function and improve recovery from training.These include:Beta-Lactoglobulin - This is present in the greatest amounts but unfortunately is considered an allergenic fraction in whey. Good whey proteins should be less than 50% Beta-lactoglobulin, however, the ion exchange process isolates this particular fraction easily and so Ionised WPIs will be quite high in this. To avoid any allergies from this, avoid whey proteins with higher than 70-80% of Beta-lactoglobulin. The higher the percentage of Beta-Lactoglobulin, the lower the percentages of the higher biological value fractions.Alpha-Lactalbumin - This nutritious fraction is found in the second highest levels at around 15-20% and can also be found in mothers milk.Immunoglobulins (IgG) - This fraction helps to stimulate the immune system with IgGs having important antibody activity within the body, helping support the immune system and preventing disease.Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) - This fraction is a precursor to glutathione. Glutathione is an essential water-soluble antioxidant in the body that protects cells and serves as a primary detoxifier of harmful compounds such as peroxides, heavy metals, carcinogens and many more. Betalactoglobulin and IgG fractions are also important sources of glutathione.Glycomacropeptides (GMP) - GMP is a powerful stimulator of cholecystokinin, which plays many essential roles relating to gastrointestinal function, including the regulation of food intake. In addition to being a regulator of food intake, cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulates gall bladder contraction and bowel motility, regulates gastric emptying, and stimulates the release of enzymes from the pancreas. The pancreatic enzymes are critical for the complete digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates and therefore the full nutritional realization of food. Also, CCK has the effect of slowing the overall digestive process by slowing intestinal contractions, thus giving the digestive enzymes more time to work on their respective substrates resulting in more complete absorption. In animals, a rise in cholecystokinin is followed by a large reduction in food intake, as by slowing digestion, one perceives the "full" feeling longer following a meal.Lactoferrin (LF) - This is quite an important fraction for its immune enhancing effects. Lactoferrin (LF) is found in tiny amounts in the body, yet appears to be a first-line immune-system defence. LF is a powerful antioxidant and strongly inhibits iron-dependant free radical reactions by directly binding iron. This iron binding effect results in the inhibition of iron dependant bacteria growth, and can block the growth of many pathogenic bacteria and yeast. Its antimicrobial action may also improve antibiotics. In the digestive tract, LF may help by stimulating intestinal cell growth and enhancing the growth of good intestinal microflora.Lactoperoxidase, Lysozyme, Growth Factors - These are very minor fractions yet are reported to be the most biologically active. Lactoperoxidase (LP) has a high antimicrobial activity, and inactivates or kills a wide spectrum of microorganisms.Lysozyme, present in only very small amounts in cows milk, possesses antibacterial activity against a number of bacteria and works synergistically with lactoferrin against bacteria such as the Salmonella species. Lysozyme is found in saliva, tears, and other body fluids, where it acts as a natural antibiotic.Growth Factors include IGF-1 and IGF-2. IGF-1, or Insulin-like Growth Factor, is the hormone released during growth hormone metabolism, the amount produced which determines the extent of growth in children and the building of muscle and lean body mass in adults. Studies have shown that IGF-1 rises in direct proportion to the quality and quantity of protein in the diet.Hydrolysing (predigesting) whey to make di-, tri-, and oligo-peptides (short & long chain amino acids), increases the bioavailability (BV) of the whey, further increasing the release of IGF-1.As you can see, the greatest differences between the two types of WPI lies in the immunological and digestive implications of the proteins, with IE WPI missing three significant protein fractions, Lactoferrin (LF), lactoperoxidase (LP) and Glycomacropeptides (GMP).<h3>Hydrolysates & Peptides</h3>Hydrolysates are essentially smaller proteins. These are produced by subjecting proteins to digestive enzymes, which breakdown the large protein molecule into many smaller proteins. These proteins can be broken down into peptides (chains of two aminos) or polypeptides (chains of three or more aminos), and are broken down until they are the right size for absorption.This process occurs naturally during digestion but can take some time, up to several hours for whole foods. So it is possible to buy whey proteins with added peptides or predigested hydrolysates. Predigested hydrolysates are when the proteins are exposed to natural enzymes from plant or animal sources. Protein hydrolysates are of benefit as they more easily and more quickly absorbed.These can be most beneficial after training when there is an increased need for amino acids. The aminos are required to prevent protein (muscle tissue) breakdown, so the faster they can be absorbed the better. Another factor effecting absorption rates is the molecular weight of the formula. The lower the molecular weight of the protein the faster the absorption. Whey proteins with added whey peptides will often state the weight in Daltons (D) of the protein: i.e. MW 500D (very low molecular weight), MW 80,000D (high molecular weight).<h3>What To Choose?</h3>Choosing which protein to use depends on what you are looking for. Using Whey Isolates, Hydrolysed proteins and Whey proteins with added peptides will offer increased recovery when used straight after training due to their quick absorption. However during the course of the day when absorption rates arent quite as important, the use of the more basic proteins such as whey concentrate, casein and whole food protein sources may be more economical. Many of the whey proteins available today use a blend of two or more different wheys with some having added amino peptides. These are of benefit as they offer rapid absorption yet are more economical than some of the more pure whey protein isolates.Some popular whey proteins compositions are:Pure Whey Protein ConcentratesPharmasports 100 % Instantised Whey - Ultrafiltered WPC. Approx 77% protein.Reactiv Defining Whey - Ultrafiltered WPC. Approx 77% protein.Leppin Ultimate Whey - Ultrafiltered WPC.

I work out 5 times a week and run 3 times a week. I really want something that is really going to work! I thing creatine is what im looking at, but what one is truely going to give me the best results???<br/>Cheers<br/>Matt

<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><strong>A:</strong> Hi Matt,Thankyou for your enquiry.Normally if you're training regularly and not gaining weight the first thing to look at is your diet. The main questions to ask are:Are you eating at least 6 meals a day - a meal every 2 -3 hours? Are you eating at least 2g of protein per kg bodyweight each day? Are you having a high carb and high protein post workout shake?Are you keeping a food diary and training journal? Have you worked out your maintenance calorie intake and hence the calories required to gain weight?Are you training and eating consistantly - eating right 7 days a week?Protein powders and mass gainers can make things easier but if your diet is inadequate results may not be that noticable. Protein powders probably offer the least noticable shortterm effects however are good for lean mass gain over the long term. You can use a pure whey protein for mass gain as long as you combine it with a high intake of carbs and essential fats - eg blend up 1 or 2 serves of whey with 2 banana's / 5 or 6 weetbix / cup of rolled oats / peanut butter / flaxseed oil etcMass gainers take a lot of the guess work out of the diet as you know you are getting a good hit of calories - protein for muscle gain, and carbs for energy. Some users will gain weight quite rapidly with these as long as you use them properly - normally at least 2 to 3 serves a day, plus 3 or 4 high calorie whole food meals.Personally if you are serious about weight gain, I would ditch the running (for a few months at least) as it's going to make it harder to gain decent weight and train at the right intensity if you are burning calories through running.Creatine is goiing to help give you more power in the gym whoch should lead to longterm lean muscle gain however it all comes down to how good your diet is. If you're still not eating right and not eating enough calories and protein you won't get good results.If you could let me know about more about your personal details I should be able to help advise you a bit better - age, training history, training goals, any sports played, current body weight and body fat%, weight you've gained over the last 12 months or since you've been training, supplements used or currently using etcI've also included a bit of basic mass gain information that you'll need to follow below. Have a read through it and let me know if you have any questions about it.Weight and Mass Gain TipsSo you want to gain mass? If you are a hard gainer and cant gain any weight or size, if you are just new to training and wanting to add some muscle mass and strength, or simply looking to mass up so youre bigger than your mates, here are 7 surefire ways that you can to guarantee mass and muscle gain.1) EAT! You must consume more food/calories than you use for energy.This means you need to eat as much as possible, and as often as possible. You may think you eat a lot - but if youre not gaining any weight you need to eat even more. And this means everyday - not just on your training days or when you remember. No amount of training is going to help you gain mass unless you are eating enough food, and eating consistently. This may sound simple but is one of the most common mistakes that hardgainers make. Truth is - there are no hardgainers - just people who dont eat enough, often enough, on a consistent basis. 2) GET TO LOVE MATH! Calculate your required daily calorie requirements and stick to itAn easy way to calculate your required daily calorie intake is to multiply your bodyweight in kilos by 2.2 x 16i.e. 80kg x 2.2 x 16 = 2816 calories per dayFor mass gain, add an extra 20% to this2816 x 0.20 = 563 extra calories per dayAdd these together - 2816 + 563 = 3379 - this is how many calories are required for mass gain at 80kg bodyweight (activity level also effects this - if you do a labour intensive job you may need to add extra calories to this - if you still find that you arent gaining any mass, add an extra 10% calories per week until you start gaining)3) EAT PROTEIN - Use a quality Whey protein or mass gaining protein formula. Muscle tissue is made up of proteins. Each time you train you break down muscle tissue (protein). Your body then repairs this damage using protein from your diet. This results in increased muscle size, density and strength. If you dont eat enough protein, your body cant repair this damage and so you wont grow. And make sure to eat with 45 minutes of finished training - an easy to digest Whey protein shake or Mass gainer is your best bet to help aid muscle repair and growth. For best results eat at least 1.5g to 2g of protein per kilo of bodyweight per day (everyday - not just om your training days) - i.e. 80kg bodyweight x 1.5 to 2 = at least 120g to 160g of protein per day, 7 days per weekGood protein sources include - Chicken Breast, Turkey, Lean red meat, Fish, Tuna, Salmon, Whey Protein, Eggs (Egg white and whole eggs), Cottage Cheese, Milk.Some good mass gainers are Cytosport Cytogainer, Pharmasports GROWTH, Leppin BulkPro4, Leppin Muscle Pro4, Horleys Awesome MASS4) MORE MATHNow you know how much protein you should eat you need to calculate how much fat and carbs you need to eat.You should aim for approx 20-25% calories from fat. Take you daily calorie count - 3379 x 0.25 = 844 calories from fat. Each gram of fat contains 9 calories so divide this figure by 9 to get grams of fat - 844/9 = 94g of fat per daySo at 80kg you are eating 160g or protein. Each gram of protein equals 4 calories, so you are getting 640 calories from protein, plus 844 calories from Fat. Take this all away from your total calorie intake and you have you total required carb intake, then divide by 4 again (each gram of carbs contains 4 calories) to get the grams of carbs per day3379 - (640+844) = 1895 cals from carbs/4 = 474grams of carbs per daySo for an 80kg male this is how your daily diet should break downProtein - 160g (640 calories)carbs - 474 (1895 calories)Fat - 94g (846 calories)5) TRAIN REGULARLY - regular and consistent weight training is required for you to gain quality muscle mass without adding excessive amounts of bodyfat. You should be weight training at least 3 or 4 days per week, for around 45 to 60 mins each session. 6) USE SUPPLEMENTS FOR IMPROVED MUSCLE GAINS and RECOVERYCREATINE - Most suitable for enhancing explosive power for increased muscle strength, speed, and powerHMB - Helps to suppress protein/muslce tissue breakdown for enhanced recovery and faster muscle and strength gainsGLUTAMINE - the most abundant amino acid in the body this is depleted through heavy training. Usage of glutamine can enhance the immunce system, improve recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and also aid with increasing muscle cell volume for enhanced strength and muscle gains. 7) SLEEP - Allowing your body to recover is vital If you spend your weekends partying, or are up all night watch TV and not getting a minimum of 8 hours sleep each night, your mass gain will be impaired. Aim for at least 8 hours of quality sleep each night and watch your body grow.3 Extra tips for even better MASS gain resultsKeep a food diary and record all your food, snacks and meals, drinks, water etcKeep a Training Diary - this is a standard tool for any successful program whether youre wanting to gain mass or lose weightSet Goals - make sure to set yourself realistic goals and constantly assess them. These should be short term and long-term.The main points to take out of this are:Eat at least six meals per day - eating every 2-3 hours. It is especially important to have a meal 30-60 minutes following training sessions. It is preferable to use whey protein for this meal as opposed to a whole food protein source as it is more rapidly digested and absorbed and of a higher quality than whole food protein. This should be combined with some form of easily digested carbs.Each meal should be both protein and carbs and 2 or 3 should have some form of essential fat in them as well - from both naturally occurring fat like that found in salmon and cold water fish, and from sources like flax seed oil/hemp oil, olive oil etc. Each meal will therefore contain the following:Protein 25-30gCarbs: 60 -80gFat: 3 or 4 meals approx 15-20 g (not in post training out meals as this will slow absorption of the protein)Vegatables should be consumed with 2-3 mealsPost training you should aim for a higher carb intake than your normal meals - this should be made up of simple carbs (dextrose) and complex carbs (maltodextrin). The mix should be 1 to 1 i.e. 30g maltodextrin to 30g dextrose. How much protein and carbs to use depends on your bodyweight - aim for 0.80g of carbs per kilo of bodyweight and 0.4g of protein per kilo of bodyweight - i.e. 81kg b/w = 64 grams carbs (32g Dextrose/32g maltodextrin) + 32g protein preferably hydrolysed whey, whey isolate or at the very least a decent whey concentrate.For the ultimate shake chuck in 5g of L-glutamine and 3g to 5g of bcaa's, as well as a small amount of sodium (about 500mg per litre of solution) to help improve absorption further.As far as supplements go you should look at using Creatine, HMB and Glutamine.To get a better reponse from creatine it is best to combine it with approx. 30 grams of high glycemic carbohydrates (glucose). High glycemic simple sugars result in an insulin spike/release within the body. This helps with the uptake of creatine as the creatine is pushed through the muscle cell membrane by the insulin. This can be acheived either by consuming 5 grams of creatine with grape juice (approx 250-300ml provides 30 grams carbs) or using dextrose monohydrate. Dextrose monohydrate is sold as Brewing Sugar in home brew stores and supermarkets (around$3-$5 per kg) and is very effective for increasing the uptake of creatine. Or using a formula like Phosphagen HP, or Gaspari SizeOn.A good post training combination is - 1 serving Pharmasports Growth + 1 serving Creatine + 30g dextrose or waxy maize starch + 5g L-Glutamine +1g HMB = 31g protein, 79 grams of carbs (49g maltodextrin/30g dextrose) approx 480caloriesCarbohydrate sources should include:Rice - wholegrain, basmati or wild ricePasta, Potatoes, Kumara, Quinoa, Pumpkin, Fat free Yoghurt, Wholemeal bread (not white bread), Oatmeal/Porridge, Fruit - bananas applesPlus Vegetables - brocolli, asparagus, lettuce, carrots, cauliflower, muschrroms, spinach, tomatoes, cabbage, peas, onions etc - these arent counted in the grams of carbs so are in addition to Protein Sources:Tuna, Salmon, Lean red meat with fat trimmed off, Chicken Breast, Turkey Breast, Eggs (mainly egg whites with some whole eggs thrown in), Low fat cottage cheese, Low fat milk, Whey Protein, Chick peas, LentilsGood fats:Avocado, Almonds, Olive oil, Flaxseed oil, Sunflower oil, Seeds, Fatty coldwater fish - Salmon, Sardines, TunaWhat not to eatIcecream, Peanuts, Alcohol (beer, wine, spirits), Fizzy drinks (Coke, Pepsi etc), Energy Drinks (red bull, V etc), Cheese, Takeaways (Burgers, Chips, Pizza, KFC, Fried chicken etc) Full fat milk, Refined carbs (Donuts, White Bread, Bread rolls), High sugar breakfast cereals (coco pops, crunchy nut, honey puffs etc), Muesli, Chocolate, Snack bars (moro, snickers etc), You should use 3x 5g serves of L-glutamine per day3g of HMb per dayCreatine - first 5 days loading - 20g per day - 4x 5gram serves, spaced evenly throughout dayAfter 5 days loading go on maintenance phase use 1 or 2x 5gram serves per dayWater intake should be atleast 3 to 4 litres per dayKeep a food diary of all food and drink conusmed and the time eaten. This can also be used to plan your diet in advanceI hope this helps you out. Let me know if you have any further questions.RegardsAndrew @ Endorphin Systems</div>

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00110-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most talked about subjects in sports nutrition. The reason for this is simply the millions of athletes around the world acknowledging outstanding sports performance as a result of using this supplement. Athletes admit that Creatine gives them the edge, and has become the staple supplement for elite and amateur athletes alike.Creatine is a natural metabolite our body uses for a number of vital processes. Its most important role may be its part in ATP production (our initial energy system to produce quick, explosive movements, and muscular contractions). Through Creatine loading we may create a pool for accelerated ATP replenishment, for faster access to more energy, delaying training fatigue, to push harder for longer leading to greater strength gains and muscle growth.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">In addition to its energy role, Creatine also appears to be a cell volumiser (the effect when muscle cells become super-hydrated). Experts suggest this process may stimulate greater muscle protein synthesis as well as allow resistance to muscle wasting and breakdown.Weight trainers commonly describe that once loaded on Creatine the full effects begin to be noticed including greater pumps during training, and a harder visual appearance to their muscles, along with a marked increase in strength and endurance capacity.When selecting Creatine there's a broad range of quality. Inferior raw materials and production methods result in impurities worldwide authorities warn about health risks resulting from these. World renowned for its strict specifications, high quality and purity, Reactiv Defining Nutrition use patented Creapure brand Creatine made by Degussa AG in Trotsberg, Germany. Advancing Creatine technology further, Creapure is 'micronised' for a finer particle size, more easily dissolved which may lead to more rapid absorption and uptake by muscle cells.If you're serious about developing a lean and muscular physique then this is one supplement you cannot afford to train without!Micronised Creatine is for individuals who seek: Increased lean muscle development More strength and endurance Improved recovery between sets Faster recovery between workouts<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size - 1 teaspoon (5g)Servings per container - 100Amount Per 5g serveCreatine Monohydrate.................5g<h2>Ingredients:</h2>German Creapure Micronised Creatine Monohydrate<h2>Directions:</h2>Loading and maintenance:Experts suggest that muscles first need to become fully saturated with creatine and recommend creatine "loading."To load, consume 20 to 25 grams, divided into 5 servings (5 gram servings or one rounded teaspoon at a time) throughout the day for 5 consecutive days, then switch to a "maintenance" phase of 5 to 10 grams, once to twice daily for a period of up to 8 weeks.For best results, a creatine serving should be supplemented immediately after an intense workout. It is recommended to have an off-cycle of 24 weeks before resuming the creatine cycle again.<h2>Precautions:</h2>If you have any history of liver or kidney disorders, it is suggested you refrain from creatine supplementation.</div>

Unless youre going to blend up your Ripped Factors shake with a potato, a starch blocker would be completely useless. In addition, phaseolamin based blockers contain anti-nutritional factors that may negatively affect the protein efficiency ratio. Worse, they could adversely impact your nitrogen balance we certainly dont recommend mixing starch or carb blockers with your protein supplements. In fact, if youre training seriously, you dont need starch blockers at all: they are for people with no discipline who cant stick to a clean diet, and thats NOT you.<h2>Recommended use:</h2>Up to three servings per day. Serving times will be dependent upon your training regime.Suggestions: one serving of Ripped Factors in water approximately one hour before a workout, a second serving 60 minutes after completing exercise (in non-fat milk) and a third as breakfast or as a mid-morning or afternoon snack in milk or fruit juice.<h2>Nutrition Information</h2>Serving Size: 3 Level Scoops/33gServings per container800g - 241.32kg - 40Provides per serve:Energy......................................................................512kJ / 122calProtein...................................................................................28.1gFat - Total................................................................................0.5g- Saturated...............................................................................0.2gCarbohydrate Total..................................................................1.0g- Sugars...................................................................................0.2gL-Carnitine...........................................................................323mgTyrosine..............................................................................1288mgGarcinia Cambogia Extract....................................................366mgL-Glutamine (free-form).......................................................388mgGlutamine Precursors.........................................................5259mgCaffeine................................................................................103mgBioperine...............................................................................5.6mgVitamin A............................................................................291mcgVitamin B1.............................................................................0.5mgVitamin B2.............................................................................0.7mgNiacin....................................................................................6.8mgVitamin B6.............................................................................1.3mgVitamin C.............................................................................17.7mgVitamin D.............................................................................4.8mcgSodium.................................................................................195mgVitamin E...............................................................................6.2mgPotassium.............................................................................142mgFolate..................................................................................106mcgCalcium................................................................................162mgLecithin.................................................................................615mgMagnesium.............................................................................50mgIron........................................................................................5.7mgChromium.............................................................................33mcgIodine...................................................................................55mcgZinc.......................................................................................1.3mg<h2>Ingredients:</h2>ICE Whey (Cation Exchange Whey Protein Isolate (91%)), L-Carnitine, L-Tartrate, Flavour, Thickener (415), L-Glutamine, Garcinia Cambogia extract (HCA), Tricalcium Phosphate, Soy Lecithin, Minerals (Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Carbonate, Ferrous Fumarate, Zinc Sulphate, Potassium Iodide), Caffeine, Vitamins (Vit C, Vit E, Vit A, (-carotene+Vit A), Niacin, Vit D, Vit B6, Vit B1,Vit B2, Folate), Guarana extract, L-Tyrosine, Anti Caking Agent (551), Sweetener (955 - Sucralose), Bioperine (Black Pepper extract), Chromium Polynicotinate.CONTAINS MILK PRODUCTS, SOY PRODUCTS AND CAFFEINE.

Only while stocks last. Anti-Catabolic Muscular Support Amino Acid Powder Prolab Pure Glutamine Powder contains the "conditionally essential" amino acid L-Glutamine. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and plays a key role in many bodily functions. During stressful situations (i.e. heavy resistive weight training) the body can lose a large amount of glutamine. A loss of glutamine during exercise may be a signal for protein catabolism (muscle breakdown). Glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent the loss of body mass through the positive role glutamine plays in protein synthesis and its action as a potent anabolic agent. When muscle glutamine levels are restored and in a positive nitrogen balance muscle synthesis can return to a normal rate.

Supplementation with Creatine Monohydrate can help maximize energy output during intense training to help you reach the next level. This nutrient maximizes strength, performance and muscular development. <br/>Oral supplementation of creatine monohydrate has been shown to increase the resynthesis of ATP (andenosine triphosphate) from ADP (andenosine diphosphate) during muscle contractions. ATP is the molecule the muscle cells burn during muscle contraction. When the energy is released from the ATP molecule it drops off a phosphate, thus becoming ADP. Creatine combines with a phosphate molecule forming a phosphocreatine molecule which delivers the phosphate to the ADP molecule reforming ATP. This resynthesized ATP molecule is then ready to be utilized for energy again. Because the body only stores an 8 - 12 second supply of ATP, it is very important to increase the creatine pool and maximize the ATP-ADP phosphate shuttle. The result is more explosive muscular contractions, increased stamina and endurance, greater intensity and less muscular fatigue which delivers more muscle size and strength.

<div class="product-description"><h3>ATP resynthesis, Proven Muscular Power & Stamina Product.</h3> Prolab Nutrition's creatine monohydrate is produced in Germany in an ISO 9000 & 9001 certified factory. An ISO certification is the highest award a laboratory or factory can achieve. It surpasses the standards of OTC and even surpasses the strict standards of pharmaceutical manufacturing.Creatine Monohydrate is produced via a chemical synthesis route. The synthesis is done by reacting sarcosine sodium salt with cyanamide under heated conditions. Sarcosine sodium salt is a derivative of acetic acid. Cyanamide is an organic amide. When the process is complete, the sodium salt is rinsed away and the finished product is then redried. This critical step insures there is no residual sodium common to incomplete processing. Further information on specific processing conditions and equipment used in the manufacture of creatine monohydrate is considered proprietary and the process patent protected.The finished product then undergoes rigid testing for purity against a creatine monohydrate standard. Through a process called High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) the creatine is tested for its level of purity. Creatine monohydrate under this testing procedure will typically score as 99% pure creatine monohydrate. This purity test is the only test the majority of companies will conduct on their product.The finished product is further tested for impurities that would indicate product instability. The results of instability are product degradation and breakdown. Breakdown causes formation of impurities common to incomplete synthesis. Industrial grade raw materials to start the creatine monohydrate processing will also result in the formation and build-up of impurities with unknown, yet potentially harmful toxilogical properties. Our raw materials are pharmaceutical/food grade only. This grade is screened for impurities before processing begins.Simply stated, processing starts with the very best ingredients that yield the world's finest creatine monohydrate product. All manufacturing takes place in a state-of-the-art refinery through a patented process. Finished product is not only tested for purity, we also test for impurities. These steps insure that you are receiving the very best product on the market.<h3>This is a must have product for weight trainers and power athletes.</h3><h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 1 Teaspoon (5 g)Servings Per Container: 60Provides per serve:Creatine Monohydrate....................5gDuring the loading phase take one rounded teaspoon (5 grams) 4 times per day (20 grams total) for 5 days. For maintenance period, take one rounded teaspoon (5 grams) once daily. Dissolve in juice or water.Warning: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you have or suspect a medical condition, are taking prescription drugs, or are pregnant or lactating.</div>

After intense exercise, our body's L-Glutamine levels may be reduced by up to 50%. Supplementing with L-Glutamine may minimize potential breakdown of muscle tissue, promote muscle growth, and improve our immune systems ability to fight infection and disease by 'topping' up depleted levels as a result of exercise and a busy lifestyle.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">During intense exercise such as weight training L-Glutamine may be robbed from muscle leading to muscle tissue degradation. Bodybuilders, rugby players, marathon runners, endurance athletes, and boxers use L-Glutamine to help develop and maintain muscle mass and strength. A cell volumising effect as a result of L-Glutamine's supplementation may stimulate greater muscle protein synthesis as well as improved resistance to muscle protein breakdown. Furthermore L-Glutamine may increase levels of growth hormone in the body, which could lead to even greater muscle building and fat loss potential.Throat infections have been shown to be much more likely for endurance athletes - infection rates appear to drop significantly for these athletes who use L-Glutamine, and also may show improved recovery rates from training. An integral role is played by L-Glutamine in maintaining a healthy digestive system, improving the absorption of critical nutrients. To maintain optimum immune system function and health L-Glutamine is an excellent choice offering many benefits.<h3>Pure L-Glutamine is for individuals who seek:</h3> Lean muscle protection and development Increased strength through cell volumisation Improved recovery from intense exercise Prevention of physical effects of over training Increased ability to fight infection and illness<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size - 1 teaspoon (5g)Servings per container - 100Amount Per 5g serveLGlutamine.......................5g<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Pharmaceutical Grade Free Form Pure L-Glutamine powder (HPLC Tested)<h2>Directions:</h2>Take one teaspoon (5g) mixed in water or juice.

<div class="product-description"> Reduced fatigue and soreness, by utilising fat for energy and therefore preserving muscle glycogen, reductions of lactic acid accumulation and soreness may be achieved. Recovery, consumption prior to exercise may reduce muscle damage, improving recovery. Athletes, marathon runners in particular, lose large amounts of L-Carnitine during exercise bouts, which may lead to slowed recovery and early onset of muscle fatigue and pain. Heart health, to keep coronary arteries clean, lower cholesterol, and help lower blood pressure in those with hypertension. Anti aging, to protect cells from the effects of aging.<h3>Nutrition Facts:</h3>L-Carnitine is found abundantly in skeletal and heart muscle tissue. Experts tout L-Carnitines major role in the body for burning fat for energy assisting fat to be burnt off rather than stored. Athletes and dieters alike report increased strength, more energy and enhanced fat burning efficiency, as well as powerful antioxidant qualities and lowered cholesterol and triglyceride levels for weight loss programs this is an excellent nutrient.To back its reputation further, even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given it an approval.Found naturally in your body, certain individual factors including lifestyle may affect your ability to maintain adequate levels of L-Carnitine required for normal health, fat burning, and physical performance. Because the need for L-Carnitine can exceed our bodies natural production, it is considered a conditionally essential nutrient. Some of the contributing factors to low L-Carnitine levels include less than perfect eating, physical and mental exertion and stress, aging, and obesity. There are also concerns for vegetarians due to the lack of L-Carnitine in a vegetarian diet. Symptoms of L-Carnitine deficiency include low energy levels, impaired fat burning ability, and fat accumulation. Also muscular weakness, loss of muscle tone, recurring infections, hypoglycemia, heart disturbances and chest pain, and mental confusion may indicate a deficiency.<h3>WHAT FORM IS BEST TO USE?</h3>At Reactiv we have identified that L-Carnitine Fumarate offers more benefits than other types. Commonly used L-Carnitine forms normally attract water which cause it to deteriorate rapidly. The Reactiv L-Carnitine Fumarate form helps to offer increased stability and potency along with the key additional benefit of the addition of the Fumarate component. Fumarate (along with L-Carnitine) is found naturally in the body and is an integral part of the Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), a major energy producing pathway in our body. By providing this raw material (along with L-Carnitine), energy output is provided dual support for shifting into top gear, without the downsides you may suffer from stimulant type fat burners.<h3>DOSAGE</h3>For fat loss and increased energy during training, take one rounded teaspoon (3.5g) mixed in juice or water, twice per day.<h3>TIMING</h3>On exercising days take one of the doses of L-Carnitine Fumarate about 1 hour prior to training. As other amino acids contained in proteins may compete for absorption, L-Carnitine should be taken on an empty stomach without other foods or supplements.<h3>CYCLING</h3>It is recommended to cycle the use of L-Carnitine Fumarate, with at least 1 week off every 3 weeks.<h3>FLAVOUR</h3>L-Carnitine Fumarate has a strong and distinct citrus flavour.<h2>Ingredients:</h2>Premium Grade Pure LCarnitine Fumarate Powder.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 1/2 teaspoonServings per container: 144Provides per serve:L-Carnitine.......................500mgL-Fumarate......................360mg</div>

It tastes great too. Flax seed oil is approximately 60% Omega-3 alpha linolenic acid (ALA), and also contains the Omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) and the monounsaturated Omega-9 oleic acid.Research has shown that the majority of western diets are deficient in the Omega-3 essential fatty acids. While our bodies evolved on a diet with a 1:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6, some researchers have estimated that many people consume more than 20 times as much Omega-6 as Omega-3. Long-term imbalance in fatty acid intake results in symptoms of sub-optimal health.

<div class="product-description"><h2>Want Caffeine? We have it.</h2>Three of our SHOT Gel flavors have caffeine. Strawberry packs 25mg of caffeine while Mocha has 50mg. And we don't stop there. The new Double Expresso SHOT Gel is loaded with 100mg of caffeine, that's twice what any other gel in the marketplace offers.<h2>Litter Leash PackagingAll the Performance, none of the Litter.</h2>CLIF SHOT Energy Gel is the only gel featuring the patented Litter Leash in its packaginga feature that makes it much easier to open a gel and dispose of it properly. With the Litter Leash, the gel tear tab stays attached to the bottom of the package after use so you dont have to worry about trashing our roads and trails while you fill up on nutrition.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 1 pack (32g)Provides per serve:Calories........................................100Total fat........................................0gSodium.........................................40mgPotassium......................................30mgTotal Carb......................................25g- Sugars.....................................7 - 8gProtein..........................................0gMagnesium......................................2%DV<h2>Ingredients:</h2> Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Strawberry Puree, Sea Salt, Citric Acid, Green Tea Extract (contains caffeine), Natural Flavors, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Oxide<h1>CLIF SHOT Q & A:</h1>Q: What is CLIF SHOT energy gel?A: CLIF SHOT is a fast-acting, easy-to-digest source of carbohydratesyour body's preferred source of fuel during activity.Q: What flavors of CLIF SHOT are available?A: CLIF SHOT Gel comes in eight great-tasting flavors: Vanilla, Razz, Mocha with caffeine, Strawberry with caffeine, Cola with caffeine, Orange Cream, Chocolate, Mango.Q: Who needs CLIF SHOT?A: CLIF SHOT is primarily used by Endurance Athletes Cyclists, Runners, Mountain Bikers, Triathletes, Adventure Racers, etc. However anyone needed a quick burst of energy can benefit from CLIF SHOT.Q: How do you eat CLIF SHOT?A: One packet of CLIF SHOT is intended to be one serving, eaten all at once. Pull the tear tab off to the side, leaving it attached to the bottom of the package via the Litter Leash, and squeeze the CLIF SHOT into your mouth. Always follow SHOT with a mouthful of water.Q: Whats the Litter Leash?A: The Litter Leash is a patented design that allows the tear tab to stay attached to the bottom of the package after use. We adopted this design after seeing so many gel tabs littering the roads and trails. The Litter Leash makes the process of opening a gel and disposing of it properly easier.Q: When should CLIF SHOT be eaten?A: One SHOT can be eaten 15 minutes prior to activity to increase blood sugar levels, and then one to two SHOTs per hour can be eaten during activity to maintain energy levels. A good rule of thumb is that the more intense the activity, the more often you should plan on eating a SHOT Gel.Q: What does each of the ingredients in CLIF SHOT Gel do for me?A:Brown Rice Syrup: Source of Carbohydrate and naturally occurring Potassium and MagnesiumSea Salt: Replaces the primary electrolyte lost in sweatFruit Purees, Cocoa Powder, Chocolate Liquor: Various flavor ingredientsGreen Tea Extract: Source of Caffeine; Oxidizes body fat for energy; increases mental alertnessCitric Acid: Provides TartnessNatural Flavors: It's all about tasteQ: Can I use CLIF SHOT gel along with CLIF SHOT Electrolyte Drink?A: Both Gel and Electrolyte play key roles in endurance athletics. Electrolyte provides needed fluid and electrolyte replacement while Gel provides a concentrated and easily digested source of energy. The advantage of Gel is that it provides 100 calories of energy in a very concentrated format, whereas you have to consume about 10 oz of Electrolyte for the same amount of calories. On the other hand, gels do not provide hydration; in fact they can pull water back into your gut. As a result, athletes should look to balance use of both drinks and gels, finding the optimal point where they are consistently energized and without stomach upset. Every athlete is unique and should experiment with this balance in training.Q: Which CLIF SHOT flavors contain caffeine? Why?A: Mocha, Strawberry, and Cola contain 50mg, 25mg, and 25mg of caffeine respectively. (1 can of cola or cup of coffee contains about 50mg of caffeine. Caffeine provides a boost to athletes by stimulating the central nervous system, increasing adrenaline and aiding in the use of body fat as fuel. Current sports science shows that caffeine does NOT cause dehydration when consumed during activity.Q: Does CLIF SHOT contain electrolytes?A: On average, each flavor of CLIF SHOT Gel contains: 40 mg sodium, 30 mg potassium, and 2%DV of magnesium.Q: What are electrolytes and what do they do for me?A: Mineral salts such as sodium chloride, potassium, and magnesium are known collectively as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, allowing for normal bodily function. When you sweat you start to deplete yourself of these electrolytes. Similar to dehydration, electrolyte depletion will first lead to performance declines and then onto more serious health issues. Each CLIF SHOT Energy Gel provides sodium, potassium, and magnesium to help counteract the losses in your sweat.Q: How is CLIF SHOT different than its competitors?A: CLIF SHOT is the only certified organic energy gel on the market. SHOT Gels main ingredient is organic brown rice syrup, which is minimally refined to help maintain naturally occurring sodium, potassium, and magnesium. SHOT Gel is also the only energy gel featuring the patented Litter Leash which keeps the tear tab attached to the bottom of the packet after use.Q: What is the proportion of simple to complex carbohydrate in CLIF SHOT Energy Gel?A: SHOT Gel is 70% Complex Carbohydrate and 30% Simple Carbohydrate.Q: Why arent there any vitamins in CLIF SHOT Energy Gel?A: The primary purpose of CLIF SHOT Energy Gel is to deliver what an athlete needs and can actually use during his/her training and racing: carbohydrate and electrolytes. While vitamins such as A, C, and E are critical to daily well being, studies continually show that there is no performance benefit to consuming these vitamins during activity. Your body cannot assimilate enough vitamin A, C, or E during an event to make up for chronic deficiencies in your daily nutrition plan. The best way to prevent nutrient deficiencies is to eat well-balanced meals on a daily basis.Q: Why isnt there any protein in CLIF SHOT Gel?A: Well-designed studies have not been able to prove that consuming protein during activity has any performance benefits beyond consuming adequate carbohydrate. Furthermore, consuming protein during activity may actually hurt performance by displacing carbohydrate, slowing carbohydrate digestion, and causing digestive distress.Q: Does CLIF SHOT contain any animal products or MSG?A: No, CLIF SHOT does not contain any animal products or MSG.Q: Is CLIF SHOT kosher?A: CLIF SHOT is not kosher at this time.Q: Can CLIF SHOT be frozen?A: We've done some informal testing of SHOT in the freezer. It becomes very firm, but does not freeze solid and does not degrade the packaging. After returning to room temperature it tastes as good as new. For training and racing in warm conditions you might try throwing some SHOT in the freezer so that it's nice and cool when you're ready to eat it.Q: What is the shelf life of CLIF SHOT Energy Gel?A: CLIF SHOT Energy Gel is guaranteed 18 months from the time it is packed. You can find the expiration date embossed on the side of the package. We guarantee the product until that date.</div>

<div class="product-description">You, like so many others, have your own reasons and excuses for putting on weight. Maybe you're employed in a sedentary job, maybe you've gained a few pounds since you got married, or you no longer have time to be active. Whatever your reason, you have finally decided to make the change and lose weight. You need to realize that you're not alone. Many others just like you are looking for a way to lose the weight. If you really want to take the weight off, what you need is a product that has research-supported ingredients, a reputation for results, and the endorsement of reputable individuals. If this is what you're looking for, make Hydroxycut your weight-loss solution today.Muscletech Hydroxycut is one of the most well-known weight-loss supplements worldwide. Sold in over 70 countries around the world, Hydroxycut has been a trusted weight-loss product for one reason - because it works!<h3>Muscletech Hydroxycut - Developed with Research-Supported Ingredients.</h3>Hydroxycut has been created to help you reach your weight-loss goals. All the ingredients in Hydroxycut are of the highest quality and combine to make Hydroxycut one of the most effective weight-loss supplements available on the market. Hydroxycut is comprised of a synergistic blend of research-proven ingredients - including Gymnema sylvestre extract, chromium polynicotinate, Garcinia cambogia extract standardized to 60 percent, and hydroxycitric acid (HCA) - which increase fat oxidation and work to promote normal blood sugar levels.<h3>Garcinia Cambogia - A Wonder Ingredient</h3> Hydroxycut uses a standardized source of 60 percent HCA. HCA is the core active ingredient of Garcinia cambogia, an Indian herb long used in Ayurvedic medicine to normalize blood sugar levels. The quality of the HCA in Hydroxycut is evident when compared to that of the products of many other companies, whose labels often state that they contain Garcinia cambogia extract, but which usually contain ineffective levels of HCA. The HCA in Hydroxycut is better absorbed by the body than other HCA products due to its 100 percent solubility, and it is low in HCA lactone, a negative form of some other lower quality extracts. Our researchers would not settle for just any ingredient, but as you know, the highest quality typically costs more. The specific form of HCA found in Hydroxycut is as much as 10 times more expensive than other forms of HCA found on the market! This is further indication that each ingredient in Hydroxycut is of the highest quality.<h3>Green Tea - A Thermogenic Superstar</h3> Green tea has been the subject of some of the most intensive research on herbs and has received an enormous amount of press in the mainstream media for its health benefits. Chief among these is its ability to stimulate thermogenesis, the ability for the body to create heat by burning calories. The green tea extract (containing EGCG and caffeine) in Hydroxycut has been shown in an 8-week study to increase the daily caloric expenditure 158 kcal higher than those who were using a placebo (2410 kcal for those using Hydroxycut vs. 2252 kcal for the placebo group). In other words a combination of two of the many research-proven ingredients in Hydroxycut can actually make you use more calories than you would normally while doing the same daily routine.One extraordinary subject who consumed key ingredients in Muscletech Hydroxycut (green tea containing 90 mg of EGCG and a total of 200 mg of caffeine), showed a daily caloric expenditure 232 kcal higher than his daily caloric expenditure when using a placebo (2117 vs. 1885 kcals).<h3>Gymnema sylvestre - Promotes Normal Blood Sugar</h3>Hydroxycut contains Gymnema sylvestre, a herb found in the rainforests of central and southern India. In traditional Indian medicine, the leaves of this herb are used to promote normal blood sugar levels. The combination of key ingredients in Hydroxycut, including Gymnema sylvestre extract, can help you lose weight when combined with diet and exercise.This unique combination of ingredients in Hydroxycut (hydroxycitric acid [HCA], Garcinia cambogia extract standardized to 60 percent, Gymnema sylvestre extract, and chromium polynicotinate) work together synergistically to help you reach your goals. Hydroxycut can help you control your appetite, increase your energy, and burn calories. It just makes sense to include Hydroxycut in your diet and exercise plan.<h3>Hydroxycut - Every Ingredient on the Label is in the Bottle</h3>Each ingredient in the Hydroxycut formula was carefully selected and the finished product is made at a high-quality facility in North America. Each ingredient was thoroughly analyzed and tested to ensure Hydroxycut contains ingredients to help you reach your weight-loss goals. Take a moment to look at the certificates of analysis. These guarantee that each ingredient mentioned on the label is actually in the product, and that the ingredients in Hydroxycut are efficacious, pure, and in optimal amounts to help you lose weight.<h3>Hydroxycut - The Results Speak for Themselves</h3>Steve Hryniewicz lost 27 pounds in 20 weeks!Millions of people, including athletes, models, actors, and everyday people, have taken Hydroxycut to achieve their weight-loss goals.

Intolerance to dairy is often due to the inability to digest milk sugar known as lactose. However, intolerance is also frequently related to the difficult-to-digest proteins and fats inherent in dairy products. NOW Dairy Digest Complete contains not only lactase for lactose digestion, but also proteases and lipases that specifically target milk poteins and fat for digestion. With Dairy Digest Complete, it is possible to ease temporary discomfort associated with the incomplete digestion of dairy products, while enjoying the taste and health benefits of them as well.

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00087-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" /><strong>NEW FORMULA - now with 50% more serves per bottle</strong> One of the most potent thermogenic formula's available. Losing stubborn bodyfat quickly and safely has never been easier, thanks to Advanced Thermogenic from Leppin Sport.Leppin Sport Advanced Thermogenic contains 4 powerful ingredients in a proven combination to help enhance fat burning, increase basal metabolic rate, and optimise carbohydrate utilisation. Combined with a regular training program and appropriate diet, you can now get the lean toned body youve been looking for.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><h3>Leppin Sport Advanced Thermogenic key ingredients:</h3>Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine which is often referred to as the calmer cousin of ephedrine , offering similar thermogenic properties but without the overstimulation of the central nervous system. Synephrine helps to increase core body temperature, increase the metabolic rate and accelerate calorie expenditure.Caffeine, when combined with synephrine, the two work synergistically to produce greater benefits than if each one were used separately. Caffeine helps metabolize fats for use as energy, offers good thermogenic properties, stimulates adrenaline release and increases energy levels.White willow bark, the natural herbal form of aspirin, is included as it helps thin the blood and can enhance the effects of thermogenics.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 2 capsulesServings per container:60 capsules - 30 serves120 capsules - 60 servesProvides per serve:Citrus Aurantium(std 10% Synephrine)....400mgWhite Willow Bark (std 4:1)......................700mgU.S.P. Caffeine........................................275mgGarcinia Cambogia (std to 50%)................85mg<h2>Recommended Use:</h2>Take up to 2 capsules per serve, twice daily (with breakfast and lunch). For best results use 30-45 minutes before training. Avoid use after 4pm as the stimulants contained in Leppin Sport Advanced Thermogenic may effect sleeping patterns. Do not exceed 6 capsules per day.<h3>Endorphin Systems Tip:</h3>When using thermogenics it is best to cycle them and use them for periods of only 2-4 weeks. This is to avoid becoming too reliant on them for you training as they can provide alot of extra energy. Often, after extended periods of use, training without them can seem quite difficult, due to the bodys energy levels returning to normal.It is best to use either an alternating day cycle (Mon, Wed, Fri), or a 2 day split cycle (Mon,Tue, Thur, Fri), so that you use them no more than 2 days in a row and no more than 4 days a week.</div>

For over thirty years, one of their best kept secrets has been a seemingly innocent herb called Tribulus terrestris L. Found natively in Bulgaria, this peculiar herb contains some interesting phytochemicals that can benefit any bodybuilder or competitive athlete.These phytochemicals found in tribulus have been used by the world-class Bulgarian powerlifting team for record lifts. In fact, studies performed in Europe found that tribulus use could increase Tests production by 30% or more in only five days.Researchers believe that the phytochemicals in tribulus might have a stimulating effect on luteinizing hor mone (LH), a gonad-stimulating hor mone which can positively affect T production. For every possible competitive edge, use Tribulus Pro.

The best creatine monohydrate is manufactured in Germany. Our creatine monohydrate powder is a German creatine thats so pure, its patented. Its the finest in the world. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy source for all muscular contractions (bodybuilding). Energy is created when ATP releases one of its phosphate groups (ATP then becomes ADP). Creatine donates a phosophate back to ADP, reforming ATP, and thus restoring your ATP pool. By doing so, you can work out harder, longer, and more effectively. Creatine use can increase your strength and performance. It can help build lean mass by volumizing and hydrating muscle cells, thus creating a necessary anabolic environment for growth.

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00062-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" /><strong>SUMMER SALE - Universal Nutrition BCAA 2000 now $41.90 SAVE 30% OFF RRP, while stocks last.</strong> Next to protein, amino acid supplements may be the most important supplement for all bodybuilders. And when it comes to the various aminos, few others can compare to the importance of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and BCAA 2000. In fact, for the bodybuilder, BCAA 2000 may very well be the most important amino acid product you ever buy. Theres nothing fancy or trendy about BCAA 2000.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Over the years, the BCAAs found in BCAA 2000 have been studied extensively for their dual anabolic and anti-catabolic activities. You read that right, BCAA 2000 is both anabolic and anti-catabolic. BCAAs are anabolic because of their ability to(1) significantly increase protein synthesis;(2) facilitate the release of hormones such as growth hormone (GH), IGF-1, and insulin; and(3) help maintain a favorable testosterone to cortisol ratio.BCAAs are also remarkably anti-catabolicBCAAs can help prevent protein breakdown and muscle loss.During intense training or strict dieting, muscle loss becomes a real issue. Thats why you need to supplement with BCAA 2000. BCAA 2000 has been a leading branched-chain amino acid supplement for nearly a decade. Its a proven amino acid supplement that works.Each serving provides nearly a gram of leucine and valine along with isoleucine. Plus, BCAA 2000 comes with nutritional co-factors designed to improve the overall effectiveness of this product. No other product can match its purity or efficacy. While serious bodybuilders should use BCAA 2000 all year round, there are certain times when BCAA 2000 use is absolutely critical.During periods of particularly intense dieting or training (i.e., when caloric intake is reduced or when energy expenditure is increased), BCAAs can be even more important. During these times, theres a great risk for muscle loss due to (1) a decrease in the rate of protein synthesis and (2) increase of proteolysis. BCAA 2000 can help ensure that neither of this occurs.In fact, BCAAs can actually be oxidized for energy during a calorie-deficit diet. Studies have actually examined the role BCAAs play during weight loss. In one landmark study, elite athletes on a diet supplemented with BCAAs. The BCAA group showed the greatest weight loss and decrease in bodyfat percentages.So if you are a competitive bodybuilder, and your goal is to reduce bodyfat while maintaining lean body mass, you cant afford to train without BCAA 2000.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Container Size: 120 capsulesServing Size: 4 CapsulesServings Per Container: 30Provides per serve:Vitamin C.................................................10mgRiboflavin (B2).........................................1.7mgPyridoxine (B6) (HCl).................................26mgAverage Amino Acid Profile Per ServingL-Leucine..............................................934mgL-Isoleucine..........................................135mgL-Valine................................................934mgOther Ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, gelatin, stearic acid.<h2>Recommended Use:</h2>Take 4 capsules daily, or as directed.

<div class="product-description">The pump is essential in the promotion of new muscle growth. With each pump-inducing rep, nutrient rich fluid and blood fills the working cells, engorging the muscle. This occurrence kick starts the anabolic process. The muscle cell walls are stretched and strained and practically bursting with fluid, this is called cell volumization. Assuming you are eating and supplementing properly, this fluid should be chock full of the kind of nourishing elements specifically designed to help you do the one thing you came here to do Grow. This is where Animal Pump kicks down the door and goes to work.Now ya know why you need the pump-that feeling of having your muscles fully engorged with blood is what drives a bodybuilder. Once the pump is there, fueling the muscles with the right nutrients is where optimal gains can be reached. Animal Pump is this fuel. Getting the right blend of nutrients is essential. Animal Pump has it all, from it's synergistic cutting edge creatine blend, NO boost complex, proprietary energy and concentration mix, down to it's cell protective antioxidant complex and specialized transport blend which shuttles the Pump to your starving muscles.From a strength and muscle cell volumizing point of view, it gets no better than Animal Pump, because Pump is packed with a new school matrix of creatines-a full, daily dose. Bodybuilders have used creatine for a decade now with good results and over the years, science has brought more and more advanced forms of creatine to the fore. Creatine is a core, basic bodybuilding supplement and as such, Pump is a welcome addition to the Animal line.When you perform a heavy set, intracellular ATP levels decrease. Creatine helps restore these ATP levels. But not just any old creatine will do the job; Animal Pump includes only the best. Taking creatine supplementation to the next level, Animal Pump combines Magnesium Creatine Chelate (MCC), a patented form of creatine, with the newest sensation Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE) and proven Tri-Creatine Matrix (TCM) to deliver maximum benefits. This blend combats the creatine absorption issues and bloating of yesteryear, ensuring your creatine reaches your growing muscles and not the toilet bowl. Pump ensures that the ergogenic effects of creatine are maximized, eliminating any unwanted side effects and making the creatine non-responder of yesteryear an extinct species.During an intense workout, one of the limiting factors of your muscular power and endurance is oxygen and the availability of oxygen-rich nutrients to muscle tissue. Our NO Boost complex is a blend of compounds designed to combat this problem. Arginine AKG, Citrulline Malate and L-norvaline are combined to maximize nitric oxide release. From a bodybuilding point of view, this means incredible muscular pumps and a greater ability to funnel clean oxygen and nutrient-rich blood into your muscles. This results in optimal muscular fullness and cellular nutrient uptake and translates into what all bodybuilders crave-greater size gains.Even if you are strong and pumped, how can you possibly tear the gym apart if you're energy deprived and lacking mental concentration? Daily life is filled with constant roadblocks that try to throw you off in the iron game. So when it comes to energy, Animal Pump has got your back. Animal Pump's Energy Rush Complex combines powerful methylxanthines along with evodiamine and vinpocentine to give you that energy boost that gets you fired up for training and the focus and mental acuity so vital to establishing the mind-muscle connection. These powerful substances reach deep into the muscle cell to provide long-lasting energy and power, thus delaying the onset of muscle fatigue. That performance and focus edge can be the difference between the physique of a weekend warrior and a top competitor.We ain't done yet, bro Animal Pump incorporates a comprehensive antioxidant blend designed to protect your cells from the heavy onslaught of hardcore lifting. Heavy lifting leaves behind free radicals, which are damaging if left alone. Free radical production is also increased with enhanced nitric oxide release. We included the best antioxidants to make sure these free radicals are cleaned out leaving your immune system strong.Last but certainly not least, a supreme nutrient transport complex, a blend of insulin boosters and absorption enhancers, ties the Animal Pump formula together. This complex efficiently and quickly draws all of these critical nutrients to your muscles. Insulin is especially important for channeling this powerful cutting edge blend into your muscle cells. Sugar-laden formulas of the past helped boost insulin levels, however they also added unnecessary carbohydrates.With Animal Pump no carbs are needed for maximum insulin potentiating effects. Animal Pump's innovative insulin boosters can significantly enhance the pump, decrease lactic acid build up and rapidly saturate the muscle with cutting edge creatines and essential nutrients for growth. This is further amplified by specialized absorption enhancers, which ensure that Animal Pump's complexes are fully absorbed and transported to the muscles where they will be fully utilized.The pump is an integral component to new muscle growth. It is literally the lifeblood of your bodybuilding pursuits, giving meaning to monotonous training sessions and giving nourishment to your depleted muscle cells. Without the pump, you're going nowhere Harness its power and the sky's the limit. If you wanna blow up, with seam-tearing, stretch-marking mass and personal record breaking strength, Animal Pump is your holy grail. It's the pump, in a pack.Animal Pump is required for: Competitive strength & power athletes Those looking to improve gym performance Athletes looking to prolong pump Off-season bodybuilders looking to add mass & strength Creatine non-responders Those who hate the creatine bloat<h2>Daily Dose:</h2>To optimize the pump use one pack 30 minutes before your workout.

<div class="product-description">Serious bodybuilders, hardcore powerlifters and avid athletes love the Animal Pak. Loaded with the most advanced and highest quality bodybuilding nutrients, Animal Pak provides you with the perfect combination of complex proteins, mega vitamins, lyophilized amino acids and essential training factors (such as Inosine, Choline, PAK, Protogen A and Dibencozide).Plus each pak contains a powerful combination of advanced mineral complexes, lipotropics, digestive enzymes, branched-chain aminos and high potency pre-workout energizers. All synergized in a perfectly balanced, time-released formula of eleven tablets. Animal Pak will blast your body with the key nutrients you require and bring out the animal in you. Animal Pak is required for: All competitive strength & power athletes High-intensity training Athletes who use supplements Athletes who want maximum performanceSince 1984, Animal Pak has been helping competitive bodybuilders get the most out of their freakish training routines by providing all the nutrition they need, plus some they didn't know they needed. For 17 straight years, people like you have made Animal Pak the #1 selling training pak in the world. In fact, more competitive bodybuilders have cut their teeth on the Animal Pak than any other bodybuilding supplement in history. Why? Simple. Animal Pak gets the job done. It works. First time. Every time. Animal Pak has stood the test of time.See, nature, in all her ingenuity, has designed the human body as the ultimate training machine. Since the dawn of mankind, our bodies have changed very little. And when it comes to growing our muscles in a freakish way, we still need the right combination and mega-doses of essential amino acids, carbs, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids (EFA's). Only Animal Pak has everything you need.OK, so you think your regular multi is going to cut it? Get real, Jack. You want massive size and mega-strength and only Animal Pak can deliver. Each Animal Pak starts with mega-doses of necessary vitamins and minerals. Yeah, vitamins and minerals. Vitamins (organic) and minerals (inorganic) are pharmacological agents and catalysts. They can exert significant ergogenic/anabolic benefits and function as the spark plugs for activating all the necessary chemical reactions which make training and building muscle possible.If you're training or dieting hard for a contest, the first thing that happens when you don't take the Animal Pak is that nutritional gaps begin to form. Why should you care? Because over time, these deficiencies continue to grow. Eventually, your body will stop functioning at its optimum level. In other words, you hit the wall, your development reaches a plateau. In fact, even if only one key nutrient is missing from your diet, your body could shut down the anabolic drive needed to build muscle so that it can support more critical metabolic processes. When this happens, you stop growing.Why you need Animal Pak.Research has proven that strength athletes such as bodybuilders and powerlifters, due to the intensity and frequency of their training programs, have higher nutritional requirements than regular athletes. Studies have shown that these unique needs are greatly increased for bodybuilders who regularly compete and need to diet down. During calorie-restricted diets (diets which tend to be repetitive and monotonous, e.g., rice and chicken), the potential for nutritional deficiencies increase dramatically.More alarming is the fact that championship-caliber bodybuilders, even when supplementing with a regular multivitamin, were still experiencing significant nutritional deficiencies. A basic multivitamin supplement won't be enough. Competitive bodybuilders know that a superior multivitamin is the first line of defense. This fact is confirmed by studies which have revealed that 100% of Olympic weightlifters and over 90% of competitive male and female bodybuilders use a vitamin/mineral supplement like Animal Pak.These nutritional gaps not only affect your performance and size, but they begin to impact the way your other supplements work. For many of today's supplements to work efficiently, your body needs to be running on all cylinders. Nutritional gaps mean that your supplements may be rendered ineffective. For example, many supplements (e.g., prohormones) rely on enzymes and other substances in your body to "activate" them. Poor nutrition means poor conversion and activation of expensive supplements. Animal Pak is your insurance policy to prevent this from happening.One other reason to take Animal Pak daily: drug-induced nutrient depletion. Pharmaceutical drug use can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Relying on "science or gear to get you huge can obviously exacerbate this problem. Even common pharmaceuticals and OTC's such as aspirin, ibuprofen, antidepressants, and cholesterol-lowering drugs can deplete your body of folic acid, iron, potassium, and important vitamins. If you use drugs of any kind, this is another reason to supplement with Animal Pak.With Animal Pak, you get plenty of everything you need. And a few extras. Animal Pak features performance optimizers such as pyridoxine alpha-ketoglutarate (PAK), IGF colostrum, nucleotides, lipotropics, L-arginine, Protogen A, eleuthero, and the like. In every pack, you get a vast arsenal of over 55 key ingredients that are delivered in the right amounts at the right time, every time. Each of the 11 tablets included in each pak has been specifically formulated to deliver the goods.Consider the Animal Pak as the cast iron skillet of your supplement program, your body's first line of defense. If you train with weights, then you absolutely need to train with the Animal Pak. Remember, while most supplements have come and gone, precious few have stood the test of time. When you're ready for the best, step up to the most trusted name in serious bodybuilding nutrition: Animal Pak.Nutrition Facts:NUTRITION INFORMATIONServing Size: 1 Pack (11 Tablets)Servings Per Container: 44Provides per serve:Total Calories...........................................................8Total Carbohydrates.............................................0.5gProtein..................................................................1.5gVitamin A (acetate & 66% as B-carotene)........4950 I.U.Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)..............................500mgCalcium (as citrate, carbonate )......................1000mgVitamin D (as ergocalciferol).............................340I.U.Vitamin E (as d-a-tocopheryl acetate)...............150I.U.Thiamin (B1) (as thiamin HCI).............................38mgRiboflavin (B2)....................................................38mgNiacin (B3) (as niacinamide)...............................41mgPyridoxine (B6) (as pyridoxine HCI)....................36mgFolic Acid.......................................................200mcgCyanocobalamin (B12)........................................3mcgBiotin..............................................................150mcgPantothenic Acid (as calcium pantothenate)........38mgPhosphorus (as calcium phosphate)..................114mgIodine (from kelp).............................................75mcgMagnesium (as oxide).....................................66.5mgZinc (as oxide)....................................................15mgSelenium (as selenate)......................................25mcgCopper (as sulfate)..........................................300mcgManganese (as sulfate)......................................5.5mgChromium (as picolinate)....................................3mcgPotassium (as sulfate).........................................50mgAMINO ACID BLENDL-Leucine (from lactalbumin)..............................50mgL-Valine (from lactalbumin)...............................380mgL-Lysine (from lactalbumin)...............................150mgL-Methionine (from lactalbumin).......................250mgL-Phenylalanine (from lactalbumin)...................280mgL-Threonine (from lactalbumin)...........................37mgL-Arginine (as L-arginine)................................1000mgL-Glutamic Acid (from lactalbumin)...................350mgPERFORMANCE OPTIMIZERSSiberian Ginseng (root)....................................1000mgOriental Ginseng (root)......................................125mgSmilax officinalis (root)......................................250mgProtogen A (as thioctic acid).............................100mcgInosine (as hypoxanthine riboside).....................250mgPyridoxine a-Ketoglutarate................................100mgCarnitine (as L-carnitine)..................................12.5mgChromium Picolinate..........................................25mcgCoenzyme A.........................................................10mgCoenzyme B12.......................................................5mgPhosphatidylcholine...........................................100mgPara-aminobenzoic Acid....................................200mgColostrum (bovine)...........................................12.5mgArgentine Liver (bovine)...................................1950mgShark Cartilage..................................................500mgCholine Complex...............................................600mgBioflavonoids (citrus).........................................500mgESSENTIAL FATTY ACID COMPLEXLinoleic Acid.....................................................100mgOleic Acid............................................................50mgDIGESTIVE ENZYMESBetaine HCI.......................................................100mgPepsin.................................................................37mgPapain.................................................................37mgPancreatin.........................................................350mgMycozyme...........................................................37mg<h2>Other Ingredients:</h2>Maltodextrin, Calcium Sulfate, Choline Citrate, Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid, Parsley, Goldenseal, Don Quai, Burdock, Alfalfa, Water Cress, Rice Bran, Cellulose, Rose Hips<h2>Recommended Use:</h2>Take one pack 30 minutes after the meal prior to your workout with plenty of water.</div>

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00059-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" />Accelerated Amino Transport. Aminos are the basic building blocks of muscle. Aminos can also trigger anabolism, the cornerstone of muscle growth. As a lifter, you need them, especially the right ones. While there are nearly two dozen different amino acids, only a select few are absolutely essential for igniting the anabolic drive, as new research has shown. Not surprisingly, these required aminos are the same ones found in human muscle protein. Animal Nitro is the first and only supplement that contains the correct ratios of those aminos based on human muscle protein itself. 
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Animal Nitro has the right types of aminos (essential aminos), forms (uncoupled), dose (6 grams per pack), and the right blend of aminos (Human Muscle Protein Complex). Recent published studies have shown that to stimulate protein synthesis and spark anabolism, only essential amino acids (EAA) are necessary. Non-essential amino acids (NEAA) arent (protein powders have both EAA and NEAA). You dont need a lot either. EAA are so efficient, researchers have found that only 6 grams, orally-delivered, are necessary (this is the precise amount in each pack of Animal Nitro). However, its not just a matter of throwing in 6 grams of EAA. For example, you cant put them into tablets. Tablets, with all the fillers and coatings, prevent the EAA from being utilized by the body efficiently. Thats why Animal Nitro comes only in quick-dissolving capsules. The ratio of EAA are important too. Well talk about this in a secondWe covered the types of aminos that are important. But the forms are important too. Thats why we use only uncoupled essential amino acids. Uncoupled aminos are a special form of amino acidthey are free of chemical bonds. Because of this, uncoupled aminos are rapidly absorbed by the bodyfar more rapidly and efficiently than protein powders like whey. Uncoupled aminos, unlike intact proteins (such as from foods or protein powders) can exert powerful pharmacological and physiological actions such as hormone regulation (insulin, growth hormone), immunomodulation, and anabolism. Just as importantly, uncoupled aminos can bypass the liver. The liver acts as a kind of gatekeeper. When you eat chicken or drink a protein shake, the liver deaminates much of the aminos, and those aminos are ultimately converted to urea. Not good.Uncoupled amino acids, on the other hand, have the ability actually bypass the liver. Once ingested, uncoupled aminos in Animal Nitro can form a bolus or a special protective mass of aminos. Due to this protective bolus, when the uncoupled aminos reach the liver, they can escape the livers processing and enter into systemic circulation quickly and reach their target areas to exert the pharmacological and physiological effects. And this is one of the reasons why Animal Nitro is superior to regular protein powders. Animal Nitro contains valuable essential aminos acids in uncoupled forms that can rapidly reach target tissues and exert anabolic effects.While the form and types of aminos are important, so too is the blend. You need the right ratios of EAA to extract the maximum benefits. Animal Nitro has the right ratios. Animal Nitro is the only amino acid supplement that contains Human Muscle Protein Complex. We used the amino acid profile found in actual human muscle protein itself when we created Animal Nitro. Why? By matching the types and ratios of amino acids to human muscle, you can potentially increase the availability of each individual essential amino acid in proportion to its requirement for enhancing muscle protein synthesis. In other words, if your muscles are a hand, then Animal Nitros Human Muscle Protein Complex is the glove.We think Animal Nitro is going to be a solid addition to your nutritional arsenal. As a solid amino-based supplement, it can appeal to a broad range of strength athletes, including powerlifters, bodybuilders, and anyone who requires strength and power as a foundation. It can be used during a cutting or bulking cycle. It can be used by lifters who are looking for improved recovery, more energy, and greater strength. Because it consists of such fundamental, basic ingredients, amino acids, and because it offers so much nutritional flexibility, we think Animal Nitro will quickly become a staple supplement for lifters everywhere.Animal Nitro is required for: Competitive strength & power athletes High-intensity training Athletes who are dieting Individuals bulking on higher protein diets Lifters looking for an anabolic edge<h2>Daily Dose:</h2>When lifting, there is a critical 4-hour anabolic window of opportunity that exists. To take advantage of this window, take 1 pack within 30 minutes following resistance training. For even better results, take 2 packs daily the first immediately before lifting, and the second within 30 minutes after. If you use a post-training protein shake, wait at least another 30-45 minutes after youve taken the Animal Nitro pack before drinking your shake. Always take Animal Nitro on an empty stomach, preferably with 8 oz. of grape or other fruit juice.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 2 PacksServings Per Container: 22Provides per serve:Niacin (B3) (as niacinamide......................................................10mgPyridoxine (B6) (pyridoxine HCl)..........................................500mcgHUMAN MUSCLE PROTEIN COMPLEX....................................4995mgArginineHistidineisoleucineLeucineLysineMethioninePhenylalanineThreonineValinePRO BCAA COMPLEX:Leucine................................................................................3500mgIsoleucine............................................................................1690mgValine .................................................................................1815mgTotal BCAAs Per Serving (2 Packs): 9135.00mg<h2>Other Ingredients:</h2>Stearic acid, magnesium stearate, gelatin, titanium dioxide, FD&C red #40, RD&C blue #1.</div>

For those of us so dedicated to this game, these frequent moments of desperation have come to an end. The new M-Stak is here, more powerful than ever, designed to obliterate plateaus and spark an explosion of raw muscle hypertrophy. Building on the legacy built by the original M-Stak formula, the new M-Stak has taken all of the most potent components of its predecessor and cranked it up to the next level.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">M-Stak has long been built on a foundation of natural anabolic flavones. These substances mimic the actions of bodybuilding pharmaceuticals, but without the harsh and undesirable side effects. Born from Eastern European athletic studies, these anabolic flavones have long been highly touted as performance enhancers capable of eliciting dramatic gains in lean muscle mass. The new M-Stak formula combines the most potent of these anabolic compounds in more hearty dosages, making the long storied anabolic potential of the product all the greater.Primary among these flavones are Beta-Ecdysterone and Methoxyisoflavone. These ingredients have the ability to shuttle nutrients toward lean mass accumulation, a process known as nutrient partitioning. Beyond this, these anabolic flavones promote enhanced protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. These are the mechanisms most crucial in the process of new muscle growth, brought about by M-Stak without any hormonal manipulation.Rounding out the Natural Flavone/Sterone Complex are Ajuga Turkestanica and Beta Sitosterol. Ajuga Turkestanica contains the potent phytosteroid extract Turkesterone, known to be extremely powerful in advancing protein synthesis. Beta Sitosterol, while having its own inherent anabolic potential, is a cortisol combating compound with dramatic pro-immunity effects.With M-Stak, you also get a mega potent anti-catabolic amino blend. With advanced forms of leucine and the other BCAAs spearheading the mixture, these aminos work from a cellular level to directly stimulate protein synthesis. Studies show that by adding leucine along with a protein/carb meal, you get even greater whole body net protein balance than just consuming protein and carbs alone. These aminos help to stimulate muscle recovery and protein synthesis via translation regulations, all through non-hormonal means. They do this by manipulating key muscle growth regulators such as mTOR, PKB, p70s6k, 4E-BP1, FOXO and MAFbx. These aminos essentially work as a signal for turning on the muscle building process, allowing increased muscle anabolism following a training session.Weve also included key anabolic adaptogens such as safed musli, muira puama, rhodiola rosea and kudzu extract. Together these herbs have been shown to help increase physical training capacity, improve endurance, minimize the catabolic stress response, decrease mental fatigue as well as support healthy libido and boost immune system function. These are critical factors for naturally enhancing ones performance levels in the gym.You also get potent insulin potentiators which work to maximize insulin production. Potent compounds such as K-R-ALA and CinnulinPF help your body to utilize ultra anabolic insulin both effectively and efficiently. This equates to increased uptake of glycogen and increased muscle cell volume which contributes to that full, pumped feeling when you workout.M-Stak also delivers a potent energy blend, packed with powerful, natural stimulants, methylxanthines and evodiamine, which are designed to propel you through even the most grueling of training sessions. The addition of this complex, easily identifiable by its red capsule, makes M-Stak perfect for pre-training, lighting that fire under your *** that we all need from time to time.Finally, M-Staks M-Factor transport complex works to maximize nutrient utilization to ensure all of the powerful components of the formula are processed to maximum efficacy.

<div class="product-description"><h3>Natures Ultimate Lean Muscle Formula!</h3>CytoSport MUSCLE MILK helps grow muscle faster than gainers, whey or even creatine. This increased muscle growth is possible because CytoSport MUSCLE MILK is the first product patterned after Nature's ultimate anabolic food - human mother's milk.Locked within human mother's milk are long-held secrets to muscle growth potential previously considered impossible. After years of study, we've unlocked these secrets! We then took the next step and actually duplicated these important muscle growth factors into CytoSport MUSCLE MILK.CytoSport MUSCLE MILK is the original Muscle Milk formula - beware of cheap knock off products with similar names but inferior ingredients.<h3>NEW LIPIDS BURN FAT... INSTEAD OF STORING IT!</h3>Leading scientists "rethinking" the role of fats in increasing lean muscle growth have shown all fats are not created equal. The type of fat determines whether you use it for muscle energy or store it as body fat!<h3>"Good lipids" used in CytoSport MUSCLE MILK promote fat loss 3 ways:</h3>1. MCTs, the predigested "fatless fats", are more likely burned for muscle energy and heat than stored as fat. 20% of human milk and MUSCLE MILK lipids are MCTs. MCTs also promote positive nitrogen balance.2. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are also less likely to be stored as fat. We use special enzyme engineering to make these lipids even more functional, promoting anti-inflammatory effects and enhanced mineral retention.3. Research by Dr. Thomas Fahey reveals calories with engineered lipids, taken before and during workouts, promote leanness. It is thought that these calories are used for workout energy, with less deposited as fat. So while MUSCLE MILK may contain slightly more fat than older ultra-carb products, our LEANLIPIDS are designed to help you get leaner.<h3>CytoSport MUSCLE MILK HELPS YOU GROW MUSCLE LIKE NEVER BEFORE, EVEN FOR THE HARDEST GAINERS!</h3>Growth promoting factors in human milk is well-proven, however we found ways to improve on it for even greater muscle synthesis. For example, we reduce lactose and fat, while discovering a way to recreate the lean-promoting lipids in human milk. Plus, we add a breakthrough that enables you to make more of your own creatine.CytoSport MUSCLE MILK triggers new levels of muscular growth in ways other products can't:<strong>1. Creatine GCC MAKE 3X MORE CREATINE INSIDE YOUR BODY</strong>We discovered a patent pending, medically-proven method to increase your own body's production of creatine by an amazing three fold. These creatine factors help your body to produce three times more creatine than normal. Creatine supplements are good, but so is your body's making more of its own. Plus, ENDOCREATINE scavenges toxic homocysteine, an enemy of muscle growth.<strong>2. EVOPRO NATURE'S ULTIMATE ANABOLIC PROTEIN-AMINO BLEND</strong>Human milk is composed of highly unique and complex proteins, peptides and amino acids, which is why it grows human muscle tissue so rapidly. EvoPro includes these alpha and beta micellar caseins, a-Lactalbumin, lactoferrin, glutamine peptides and more. Nature created this precise mix to stimulate muscle growth to higher levels, and EvoPro is the only nitrogen source to deliver it.<strong>3. LEANLIPIDS-"GOOD FATS" THAT HELP YOU GET LEANER</strong>Human milk contains custom fat structures that actually promote leanness, while retaining more energy in the body. This promotes thermogensis, enabling protein and amino acids to be used for muscle growth at higher levels. LEANLIPIDS even help retain minerals critical to muscle contraction, and are the only source of these customized lipids for serious athletes.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 2 ScoopsServings Per Container: 1.1kg / 2.48 Lbs - 16 serves2.2kg / 4.94lbs - 32 servesProvides Per Serving:Total Calories............................................................................348Calories From Fat........................................................................62Total Fat...................................................................................18 gSaturated Fat..............................................................................8 gCholesterol..............................................................................3 mgSodium.................................................................................200 mgPotassium.............................................................................595 mgTotal Carbohydrates..................................................................12 gDietary Fiber.............................................................................<2 gSugars.........................................................................................6 gProtein......................................................................................32 g<h2>Directions:</h2>Take CytoSport MUSCLE MILK anytime you would take in a shake or gainer, but want a better tasting, more anabolic formula. Mix two scoops in water. Want even more satisfaction? Mix with low-fat milk. Tastes like a real milk shake!<h3>BEFORE & DURING WORKOUTS</h3>For a truly awesome weight workout, take CYTOMAX and MUSCLE MILK together during the workout. Flooding the body with growth nutrients, plus the patented acid buffers of CYTOMAX, gives new meaning to "burning down the house."<h3>AFTER WORKOUTS</h3>After workouts, the body is in a catabolic state. CytoSport MUSCLE MILK helps reverse this muscle breakdown by "tricking" the body into muscle synthesis when you normally break down muscle.<h3>PRIOR TO BEDTIME</h3>Sleep is actually a catabolic period. Remember, breakfast means to "break your fast" of the night. During any fast, you break down precious muscle tissue for energy. CytoSport MUSCLE MILK will help you wake up more anabolic.<h2>Ingredients:</h2>EVOPRO Our Custom Evaluation based protein, peptide, and amino acid matrix, designed to closely reflect the nitrogen components and ratios found in human mother's milk (Micellar Alpha and Beta Casiens and Casienates, Whey concentrates, rich in Alpha-Lactalbumin, Whey Isolates, Whey Peptides, Purified Bovine Colostrum Extract rich in Secretory IgA and IGF-1, Glutamine Peptides, L-Taurine, Lactoferrin).

<div class="product-description"><h3>YOU GET MORE THAN MUSCLE WITH AXIS-HT:</h3> Multi-dimensional formula helps maximize natural (endogenous) Test production Enhances muscle fullness, strength and performance Intensifies training aggression and tolerance to pain Supports healthy cholesterol levels Improves recovery and resistance to illnessAxis-HT contains a patent-pending and revolutionary "2-Tier" approach that takes effect from the very first dose.<h3>Axis-HT is designed to support:</h3> The body's natural (endogenous) production of Test Size, hardness, and definition of muscles Libido and sexual performance Strength and aggression during workouts and athletic events Recovery and resistance to fatigue<h3>BSN Axis-HT Consists Of:</h3>Test-Supporting Mineral Blend: Magnesium Aspartate, Zinc Methionine, Zinc Aspartate: Zinc and Magnesium are co-factors for enzymes involved in the production of Test and other growth factors (e.g., IGF-1). Zinc and Magnesium supplements are also used to enhance deep (REM) sleep, and thereby, recovery from workouts. Chemical bonding to aspartate and methionine enhances mineral stability and promotes rapid and complete absorption.Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6): IP6 is a natural source of inositol. Inositol is a key component of numerous cell-signaling pathways such as those involving the production of Test. IP6 is currently being explored as a cancer-fighting agent.TPS3: TPS3 is a 3-fraction extract of Tribulus terrestris. Tribulus is used to enhance or restore endogenous Test production. Tribulus is also used to support sexual performance and libido, and increase aggression/motivation during workouts and athletic competition. The 3 fractions of TPS3 were chosen to provide the full range of active Tribulus constituents. These include, but are not limited to: steroidal saponins (furostanol glycosides: protodioscin and protogracilin), spirostanol glycosides, phytosterols (e.g. beta-sitosterol).Safed Musli: Safed Musli has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine as an aphrodisiac and to help increase libido.GF5 (Proteinaceous Avian Nucleus Extract): Popularized within Bulgarian weightlifting circles, GF5 is used to support overall hormonal equilibrium, alleviate and prevent overtraining syndrome, boost recovery, increase resistance to illness and protect against muscle wasting or atrophy.Eurycoma longifolia: Eurycoma is used to increase Test levels, sexual performance, and libido. In a study performed at the Human Reproduction Specialist Center in Malaysia, an extract of Eurycoma increased Test levels. It also led to a 91% increase in libido in addition to improving sexual function.Testofen : Testofen is a Fenugreek extract standardized for 50% fenuside. It is intended to support endogenous Test production. Anecdotal reports suggest that Testofen produces marked improvements in libido. Animal studies on fenugreek report anti-obesity effects.Coleus Forskohlii (standardized for 40% forskolin):Forskolin is a naturally occurring diterpenoid. It is used to stimulate the enzyme known as adenylate cyclase in biochemical research. This leads to an increased production of cyclic AMP (cAMP). cAMP plays a "second messenger" role in a number of cell-signaling pathways such as those involving the production of Test.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 2 TabletsServings Per Container: 60Provides per serve:Magnesium (as magnesium aspartate)..................................150mgZinc (as monomethionine and aspartate)................................10mgStAR-P2 (Patent Pending)....................................................2238mgTest Matrix,Inositol HexaphosphateTPS3 (3 Fraction Tribulus Terestris Composite Yielding A Precision Ratio Of Protodioscin and Saponin Concentrations)GF5 (Proteinaceous Avian Nucleus Extract Containing Naturally Occuring Growth Factors: IGF, FGF, NGF, EPF, GTCP)Testofen (Fenugreek Extract Standardized for 50% Fenuside)Safed MusliEurycoma LongifoliaColeus Forskohlii (Standardized for 40% Forskolin)<h2>Other Ingredients:</h2>Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Povidone, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose, & Polyethyene Glycol.<h2>Recommended Use:</h2>As a dietary supplement, take 2 tablets 3 times per day, everyday.

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00044-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" /><strong>NEW FORMULA - SAVE $15 Tribex Blue Test Booster now $109.95, or two for just $199 just $99.50 each with 30 VIP POINTS and FREE SHIPPING NZ WIDE. The Original Blue Pill - Rated #1 Tribulus in the World - Highest Strength Test Booster & libido enhancer. </strong><br/>Sex and Muscle go together like success and beautiful women. And if youre like most red-blooded guys, you can never get enough of either. Well, theres a way that you can increase your bodys ability to pack on lean mass, and at the same time, jack libido through the roof! Maintaining optimal levels of Test is one of the keys to gaining muscle faster, as well as enjoying a healthy sex drive. Likewise, decreased T levels results in the unthinkable - lacklustre performance in the gym and in the bedroom. In case you havent figured it out by now, gaining muscle, losing fat, experiencing a healthy sex drive, and even feeling good is directly related to your Test levels. Tribex is designed to boost your natural T levels into the high normal zone. Thats cool because you not only get the benefits of having elevated T levels, you dont get any of the negative side effects associated with steroid use. Tribulus Terrestris, one of the main ingredients in Tribex, has always had a rep as an okay Testosterone booster. Why just okay? Well, most companies would buy whatever cheap crapola that was available and stick it in their products. Hey. Tribulus is Tribulus, right. Wrong! As it turns out, there are about a million things that affect the quality and effectiveness of this super herb. What separates Tribex from other products on the market is that Biotest pays very careful attention to all these factors.
]]>
<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description">Furthermore, Tribex contains a highly potent, one-of-a-kind extract of Bulgarian Tribulus terrestris thats manufactured exclusively for Biotest. In fact, studies show that Tribex blows away all similar products on the market, in terms of overall effect and protodioscin content. Tribex is the only product of its kind on the market standardized for all four active ingredients: protodioscin, methylprotodioscin, and tribulosaponins A and B.Tribulus serves as a Luteinizing-horm-one secretagogue (LHS). In other words, it causes the release of Luteinizing horm-one, which in turn signals the testes to produce more Test . And of all the T-boosting compounds on the market, Tribulus is the most powerful.Vitex also works as an LHS, but it also acts as an anti-progesterone and anti-prolactin agent, lowering progesterone and prolactin. Progesterone and prolactin are particularly nasty hormones, in that they cause much more than estrogen storage of body fat and mental depression. Prolactin can even cause lactation in men. And, by lowering progesterone and prolactin just like lowering estrogen you'll increase Testosterone through various feedback mechanisms.<h3>What makes the New Tribex more effective than the old formula?</h3>Recently, Biotest Tribex was improved yet again and now contains Vitex Agnus Castus.The Vitex Agnus Castus used in Tribex is a very specific mix of phytochemicals which are extracted from vitex, so it's not the classical extract one would typically find. One of the compounds in this extract may lower prolactin, and thus may increase the responsiveness of the testicles to LH, amongst other potential benefits from decreasing prolactin. Vitex Agnes Castus may also act as a potent estrogen inhibitor.Heres the real skinny: You know that friend of yours with naturally high T levels? You know, the one that can put on muscle easily, drop fat with no problem, and make time with the ladies like a pro? Tribex, the great equalizer, can get you there, too.Tribex is specifically designed to maximize the bodys natural levels of Test. And not only that, unlike exogenous androgens, it doesnt suppress the bodys own T production. The powerful and unique Tribex formula actually enhances and optimises the male endocrine system with the goal of achieving high-normal Test levels. This equates to 2-3 times greater than what you probably walking around with now.Think about it...Who wants to be average, when it comes to Test, muscle and sex?Bottom Line...Biotest has made a commitment to produce cutting-edge products that are safe and highly effective alternatives to the popular, illegal drugs of bodybuilding. And with Tribex, weve created the most powerful legal, Test-boosting supplement possible.If your goal is to pack on more muscle faster and you dont mind the potential for a runaway libido, Tribex is your ticket to success. A strong statement? You bet, and its the truth!<h3>Why the switch from gel capsules to tablets?</h3>A lot of you have noticed that Biotest's Test Booster TRIBEX--"The original blue pill" looks different than it used to.Here's why:For years, we've had trouble getting the TRIBEX ingredients to work inside a hard-shell gelatin capsule.Given enough time, the ingredients melt the gelatin and eat through the capsule. This is due to the extreme extraction of the active components from the herbs we use.These herbs are so refined, they're actually in a near-liquid state and any friction or pressure will cause them to liquefy.So, if we continued to use gelatin capsules for TRIBEX, we wouldn't have been able to increase the potency of our herbs as we'd continually have melting problems.Additionally, we determined that the nanodispersion technology didn't add much, if any benefit--at least as far as TRIBEX was concerned.Therefore, we decided to switch to a manufacturing technology that perfectly suits the nature and functionality of the product.In short, we switched to a rapid-release tablet.This tablet technology is just as precise (in dosing) as liquid-filled capsules; it seals in the active components, thus preserving the potency long-term; and it allowed us to increase the potency and overall load per unit dosing.And that's why we made the change to Biotest TRIBEX.<h2>Supplement Facts:</h2>Serving size: 2 tabletsServings per container: 37 servesContains per 2 tablet serve:Tribex Original Formula..................................................................900mgBiotest Super Concentrated Extracts: Tribulus Terrestris, Vitex Agnus Castus<h2>Recommended use:</h2>As a dietary supplement, take one or two tablets in the morning and one or two tablets six to eight hours later, each time on an empty stomach with 8 oz of water.

<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.sportnutrition.co.nz/shop/00042-1_MD.jpg" style="float:left;margin:0 2em 0 0" align="left" /><h3>Berrylicious Flavour now available - THE ULTIMATE RECOVERY STACK // RECOVER FASTER AND TRAIN HARDER. </h3>The Ultimate Recovery Stack is the latest innovation from Balance Muscle Technology. It contains a full range of the key muscle building amino acids, vitamins, minerals, grape seed extract and high energy fast absorbing carbohydrates for optimum recovery and muscle repair every time. The Balance Ultimate Recovery Stack fits perfectly into your training programme. After each session one serve (65g) mixes easily with water for rapid optimum muscle recovery and growth. Fast absorbing carbohydrates have been included in this formula to increase insulin which will assist in driving the other key recovery ingredients into the muscle quickly. Insulin also suppresses cortisol which is a hormone that breaks down muscle tissue, therefore the inclusion of these carbohydrates are crucial for creating a positive anabolic environment for faster recovery and development of your tired muscles. The comprehensive ingredients described hereafter will provide all the nutrients required for your ultimate muscle recovery.

<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><h2>What are the benefits of Balance Ultimate Recovery Stack?</h2> Build Muscle Increase strength Increase muscle tissue recovery Increase total work done Increase lean muscle mass Increase time to exhaustion Increase aerobic and anaerobic endurance Delay fatigue Reduce oxidative stress Improve immune functionWith a fast and full recovery your next training session or competition will be optimum every time.<h2>What are those essential ingredients included in the Balance Ultimate Recovery Stack?</h2><h3> Creatine (5g per serve)</h3>Creatine has been the subject of over 400 research studies in the past decade, focusing primarily on muscle performance and muscle development. Creatine is a pivotal ingredient in the Ultimate Recovery Stack for many reasons. Firstly it increases muscle cell size through hydration which creates a positive environment for muscle growth and repair. Creatine provides the powerful energy required to kick start the recovery process (Like the key the starts the engine). Recent research suggests that creatine may increase satellite cell number which may increase the number of muscle cells in each muscle, more muscle cells = more muscle. Creatine has been proven to increase strength which will allow you to train harder so you can improve your performance repeatedly.<h3> Beta Alanine (2g per serve)</h3>Beta-alanine acts as an intracellular buffer to offset acid production in the muscle which helps delay muscle fatigue, increase power, increase strength and speeds recovery. Beta-alanine is a precursor of carnosine, a naturally-occurring dipeptide found in high concentration in skeletal muscle tissue.Studies have shown that supplementation for 10-12 weeks with Beta-Alanine will increase carnosine in the muscle by up to 80%. Beta-alanine also increases NOS (Nitric Oxide Synthase) which results in an increased production of Nitric Oxide therefore increasing nutrient delivery to exercising or recovering muscle tissue. Beta-Alanine also increases nerve stimulation which may result in the recruitment of more muscle fibers with each contraction therefore immediate strength increases and extreme vasodialation (PUMP) have been experienced by many users. Performance benefits are generally seen within the first 2-3 weeks however some individuals will notice results within a week. The latest innovation in muscle recovery and performance.<h3> L-Glutamine (5g per serve)</h3>L-Glutamine has recently been re-classified as a conditionally essential amino acid, it is predominantly synthesized and stored in skeletal muscle. While the body can make glutamine, under extreme physical stress, i.e. training or competition, the demand for l-glutamine exceeds the body's ability to synthesize it. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body with approximately 60% of skeletal muscle comprised of L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine is glyconeogenic meaning it may get used for energy therefore protecting muscle tissue from cortisol breakdown. L-Glutamine helps to transport other amino acids into the muscle tissue including creatine, BCAAs, Beta Alanine and HMB so therefore will enhance recovery, reduce muscle breakdown and improve muscle growth and performance. L-Glutamine is also heavily involved in boosting your immune system and enhancing digestion for better nutrient absorption.<h3> Branch Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) (3.5g per serve)</h3>The combination of these three essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine make up approximately 1 third of all skeletal muscle in the human body and play an important role in protein synthesis(the development of new muscle tissue). It has been demonstrated that BCAA supplementation in combination with carbohydrate intake following resistance exercise increases insulin output by over 200%. This increase leads to the production and transportation of proteins to build and repair muscle. This building and re-building of the muscle tissue is critical for recovery and growth and ongoing consistent performance.<h3> HMB (1g per serve)</h3>HMB is a metabolite of leucine, an essential amino acid. HMB plays a role in the synthesis of muscle tissue in response to exercise. HMB has been shown to increase strength, muscle growth and significantly reduce recovery time as it may prevent muscle breakdown as well as accelerate muscle repair.<h3> Taurine (3g per serve)</h3>Taurine is a non-essential amino acid. Taurine is often used in combination with supplements such as creatine due to enhancing the uptake of such nutrients. Recent findings have suggested that taurine alleviates muscle fatigue in strenuous workouts and raises exercise capacity. Taurine is also an excellent liver detoxifier which may assist in better fat oxidation therefore improving the use of fat for energy and reducing body fat stores.<h3> Grape Seed Extract (42mg per serve)</h3>Grape Seed Extract is high in Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs or PCOs), making it a powerful antioxidant which can reduce the damage done by free radicals on muscle and connective tissue while training. Grape seed may therefore strengthen and repair connective tissue, and promote enzyme activity. Additional benefits include an enhanced immune resistance, increased peripheral circulation (more blood flow to the muscles), reduced inflammatory response and has recently been discovered to be 20 times more potent than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E as an antioxidant.<h3> Magnesium (150mg per serve)</h3>Magnesium is an essential mineral to the human body and has numerous functions essential for a quick recovery from those hard training sessions. It is needed for bone, protein, and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating B vitamins for energy and relaxing muscles. It is also essential for electrolyte balance, energy production and normal neuro-muscular function all vital for your ultimate recovery.<h3>Vitamins and Minerals (20+ per serve)</h3>A full range of vitamins and minerals have been added to assist in boosting the immune system, support normal growth and development, and help cells and organs function and recover from exercise faster. A fully comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals has been added to this innovative formulation.<h3>Do I need to take anything else with the Balance Ultimate Recovery Stack?</h3>For initial recovery from training the Balance Ultimate Recovery Stack provides ALL the vital elements essential to the recovery process. You may wish to include in your recovery (10-15mins later) a Balance protein powder to compliment the ULTIMATE RECOVERY STACK and support a positive environment required to be ready for that next training session or game. Along with a well balanced diet, good sleep and rest you will be in great shape to perform your best once again.<h3>When should I take the Balance Ultimate Recovery Stack?</h3>As soon after your training session or competition as possible because this will take advantage of the increased blood flow to the trained muscles not to mention the positive hormonal environment present immediately after exercise. The window of opportunity that is described by nutritionists for optimum recovery is within 1min to one hour from the completion of exercise. The sooner the better is the rule and with this being a great tasting, easily mixed rapidly absorbed powdered drink you should experience recovery like never before.In Conclusion<h3>What is recovery and how important is it?</h3>Recovery can be described as the time required for the repair of damage to the body caused by training or competition. This includes the restoration of the energy producing enzymes inside muscle fibres, carbohydrate restoration in muscle cells, the balancing of the endocrine (Hormonal)system, repair and development of muscle tissue and boosting immune systems. During recovery, muscles should increase the proteins in their overall structure to improve strength, replenish and increase energy stores and increase the quantities of enzymes to improve the lactate threshold and VO2 max. Muscle cells are most receptive to fast absorbing carbohydrates and amino acids during the first hour following a training session. This intake of carbohydrates and amino acids as well as replenishing the fuel stores also has a positive effect on protein restoration in muscles therefore greater muscle repair and growth.Balance Ultimate Recovery Stack not only offers restoration and repair of muscle tissue but a wide range of macro and micro nutrients, vitamins and minerals to ensure optimum physical recovery and a very strong immune system. Optimum is the key word here, this latest innovation in the Balance range will generate faster and more effective support to ensure your Ultimate Body Performance every time.<h3>Train Hard, Recovery Faster, Train HarderGet Results.</h3><h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 65gServings per Container:780g - 12 serves1.75kg - 27 servesProvides per serve:Calories......................................................................................212Protein....................................................................................13.5gFat - Total..............................................................................<0.1g- Saturated.............................................................................<0.1gCarbohydrate Total.................................................................38.1g- Sugars..................................................................................37.5g-- Glucose..............................................................................37.5gSodium......................................................................................5mgKEY INGREDIENTSL-Leucine............................................................................1500mgL-Isoleucine........................................................................1000mgL-Valine..............................................................................1000mgL-Glutamine................................................................................5gTaurine........................................................................................3gBeta-Alanine................................................................................2gCreatine Monohydrate.................................................................5gCa-HMB.......................................................................................1gGrape Seed Extract.................................................................42mg<h2>Directions:</h2>Add 65g (3 heaped scoops) to 250-350ml of water and shake to mix.

<![CDATA[
<div class="product-description"><h2>Benefits of Balance L-Glutamine:</h2> Ideal for reducing muscle dehydration and muscle catabolism. Preserves muscle glutamine levels to aid recovery. Supports new muscle growth.Although Glutamine is classified as a non-essential" amino acid, this simply means that the body is able to synthesise this compound.However, all cells in the body utilise Glutamine, although some cells depend on it more than others. Glutamine is utilised as a source of energy and for nucleotide synthesis by all rapidly dividing cells, including those that line the intestines and some immune cells (thymocytes, lymphocytes and macrophages).In the absence of sufficient Glutamine, the intestines atrophy and the immune function is impaired.Needed for energy production and DNA and RNA synthesis Glutamine serves both as a nitrogen and carbon donor and is thus an important muscle-building amino acid; helping to replenish muscle glycogen after exercise.Glutamine also has significant role in protecting both the body and in particular the brain from ammonia toxicity through the synthesis of glutamine from glutamate. Ammonia produces Nitrogen-based free radicals and reduces ATP production through its interference with the oxidative metabolism of neurons.Glutamine users often report more energy, less fatigue and better mood and part of this relates to its role in maintaining proper blood glucose levels and pH.The bodys need for Glutamine increases beyond the normal 3.5 to 7g derived from the diet, during periods of physical or emotional stress.Glutamine is also significant in maintaining a healthy gut, and improves the absorption of other nutrients. It is a very important nutrient for intestinal health.When extra energy is required, Glutamine together with the amino acids Alanine, Glycine, Serine and Threonine is readily catabolised in the liver to glucose.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 5gServings per container:100g - 20 serves500g - 100 servesProvides per Serve:Calories........................................................................................18L-Glutamine.................................................................................5gProtein......................................................................................4.5gTotal Fat.......................................................................................0gTotal Carbohydrate......................................................................0gDirections:Serving Size = 5g (1 metric teaspoon).May be added to carbohydrate foods or non-acid fruit juice, water or other cold beverage.

<div class="product-description"><h2>BSN Cheater Relief benefits:</h2> Reduces the absorption of sugar and fat calories Directs calories into lean muscle instead of fat tissue Essential when eating out or treating yourself! Used by advanced bodybuilders and fitness competitors to avoid fat gain when bulking upBSN Cheaters Relief Carb and Fat Matrix consists of:Fat Relief Blend: Chitosan: Chitosan is a naturally occurring substance that binds to dietary fat. Cassia Nomame (Cassia Mimosoides)(seed extract 10:1): This plant extract is thought to inhibit the lipase enzyme, which is responsible for the dietary fat digestion. NeOpuntia (Opuntia Ficus Indica): NeOpuntia is a natural lipophilic fiber complex of NeOfiber and NeOmicel that has been shown in vitro to bind fatty acids. Opuntia Ficus Indica may also maintain blood glucose levels already in the normal range and may reduce hangover symptoms.Carb Relief and Glucose Regulator Blend: Citrilin HCA (Garcinia Cambogia 50% extract for Hydroxycitric Acid [HCA]): HCA inhibits the ATP citrate lyase enzyme, which is responsible for the synthesis or production of fatty acids. HCA may also increase fat oxidation (burning), enhance brain serotonin levels (control of appetite/cravings), and promote suppression of appetite. Phaseo-Lean (White Kidney Bean Extract Phaseolamin): Phaseo-Lean inhibits the alpha amylase enzyme, which is responsible for dietary carbohydrate digestion, thereby slowing the rise in blood glucose and insulin levels that occurs in response to meals (blood glucose and insulin control). R-ALA (R-Alpha Lipoic Acid): R-ALA is used to support insulin sensitivity and cellular uptake of glucose (blood glucose and insulin control). R-ALA may also help reduce the accumulation of lactate during exercise (exercise performance). 4-Hydroxy-Lean (4-Hydroxyisoleucine extracted from Fenugreek): 4-Hydroxy-Lean is used to stimulate insulin release and promote muscle cell glucose uptake (blood glucose and insulin control) and glycogen synthesis after exercise (recovery). Cinnulin-PF: Cinnulin-PF is an aqueous extract of cinnamon that is rich in uniquely linked proanthocyanidin antioxidants. These compounds turn on cellular signaling mechanisms normally turned on by insulin. Clinical studies report Cinnulin-PF maintains blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels already in the normal range.CHEATERS RELIEF supports the following segments of the BSN Supplement Pyramid: Weight Management, Muscle Support.CHEATERS RELIEF is designed to be utilized as a part of a well balanced diet and exercise routine.NeOpuntia is a registered trademark of S.A. BIO SERAE Laboratories.Cinnulin PF is a registered trademark of Integrity Nutraceuticals International.<h2>BSN Cheaters Relief FAQ:</h2>Q: Im really interested in Cheaters Relief. But if it blocks carbs, then can it be harmful to you? I thought carbohydrates were essential to everyones diet.A: You are right. Cheaters Relief does inhibit the digestion of carbohydrates (i.e. starches and sugars). Rather than being harmful this serves to help regulate, or control, your blood glucose and insulin levels.Insulin has a very powerful braking effect on your fat-burning metabolism. Even slight increases in insulin can reduce the burning of fat substantially. Glucose can also slow fat-burning. If you are eating too many calories overall, this promotes body fat gain.In addition to helping you control your blood glucose and insulin levels, Cheaters Relief also contains ingredients that help push any glucose that is absorbed into your muscle instead of fat. So long as you are not eating too many calories overall, this effectively starves fat cells, causing them to shrink.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 1 CapsuleServings Per Container: 120Provides per serve:Cheaters Relief Carb & Fat Inhibitor Proprietary Matrix.......564mgFat Relief Blend NeOpuntia (Opuntia Ficus Indica), Chitosan, Cassia Nomame (Cassia Mimosides) (seed extract 10:1)Carb Relief - Insulin Regulator - Calorie Re-Direction Blend Citrilin HCA (Garcinia Cambogia 50% extract for Hydroxycitric acid), Phaseo-Lean (White Kidney Bean Extract Phaseolamin), R-ALA (R-Alpha Lipoic Acid), 4-Hydroxy-Lean (4-Hydroxdyisoleucine extracted from Fenugreek), Cinnulin-PF (Aqueous Cinnamon Extract)<h2>Directions:</h2>As a dietary supplement, use the chart on the bottle to determine the amount of capsules to take 15-20 minutes prior to, and 15-20 minutes after, a meal which corresponds to the carbohydrates and fats listed in the chart.

<div class="product-description">BSN Nitrix Highlights: Volumizes muscle tissue for all-day vascularity, pumps, tone, hardness Promotes tissue recovery, repair, and endurance Reduces muscle/joint pain and stiffness Supports maximal Nitric Oxide (NO) levels Contains patent-pending CEM3 Used by models, and bodybuilders to bring out shape and vascularity before photo shoots<h2>What To Expect From BSN Nitrix!</h2>Week 1 - Your Body Is In A NO Loading Phase, Prepare Yourself For What Is About To Take Place! You will start to experience the initial signs of your "muscle swelling" full body pumps! You will also notice the beginning stages of an increase in your strength, recuperation and endurance.Week 2 - Nitrix Has Just Turned On The Transformation Switch! At some point in week 2 the NO switch flips on. You will really start to see and feel the power of the Nitrix induced transformation. During week 2 your strength, recuperation and endurance should noticeably increase. Your muscles will also become visibly fuller and much harder and you may also start to experience an increase in "male" size and performance.Week 3 - The Metamorphosis Has Begun And It Only Gets Better From Here! You will feel your skin tightening around your muscles and your vascularity will become exaggerated (almost freakish). You should now be experiencing rock hard, full body pumps that last all day long. Your recuperation will seem almost immediate and your strength and endurance should skyrocket. Your gains in lean mass should be unmistakable when you step on the scale and at this point everyone in the gym will be asking what you are taking.Week 4 And Beyond - Everyday You Look In The Mirror You Should Notice A New, More Muscular Physique. You should now be achieving new levels in lean mass, muscularity, and density that many people only reach after years of heavy lifting! If you think this is good, hang on; the Nitrix transformation still has a long way to go!<h2>Nitrix - The Most Advanced NO Supplement Ever Developed!</h2>BSN has taken vaso-muscular volumization to the next level by developing a premier NO booster that ensures optimum NO production over current NO boosters. L-Arginine Alpha Keto-Glutarate (AAKG) has the unique ability to improve the conversion process of Arginine into NO. However, the NO boosting power of this specific amino acid is heavily dependent upon the bonded ratio of L-Arginine to AKG. After months of extensive research BSN has developed a precise bonded ratio of L-Arginine to AKG. This ratio promotes an increase in NO production over standard bonded versions of L-Arginine AKG. BSN's proprietary AAKG technology makes Nitrix the world's premier NO booster.Methocel - Controlled Release Technology!The muscle enhancing benefits of NO are only as effective as the delivery system that is able to maintain a constant level of this molecule in the blood. Until recently NO was unable to be released at a controlled and sustained release rate. Without this required release profile the body cannot benefit from this powerful vaso-muscular volumizer. This is why BSN went to great lengths to ensure that Nitrix had the most scientifically validated and effective release protocol for NO ever developed. We enlisted the help of one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world to develop a proven delivery system that would outperform any release profile ever developed for this new breakthrough class of supplementation.BSN's exclusive release technology (aka Methocel - a micro-polymer hydrophilic ether matrix) was developed by Dow Chemical to control the release rate of specific ingredients. Methocel provides Nitrix with a constant and steady release rate of NO and maintains its concentrations in the blood near 24 hours. BSN's controlled release technology has just opened up the unlimited muscle and performance enhancing potential of NO.The Vital Nutrient Support System!Nitrix contains a vital support system that provides the body with specific nutrients that are required to effectively utilize the vaso-muscular volumizing properties of NO.Nutrient #1 - An Essential NO Enzyme -Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential NO enzyme that has a vital role in the conversion of L-AAKG to NO. Without the addition of this enzyme NO conversion is minimized to less than ideal levels. However, with the added support of this enzyme NO production is considerably increased to levels that may have never before been obtainable by the body.Nutrient #2 - A Key NO Donor - L-Citrulline is an amino acid that is an extremely powerful NO donor. This relatively unheard of amino acid has a significant role in the body's NO production process due to its unique ability to continually recycle itself into NO. This continuous recycling procedure promotes increased and sustained levels of NO in the blood.Nutrient #3 - A Precise Blend of Essential Phosphates - Phosphoplexx is a precise blend of essential phosphates that are crucial in the uptake and storage of nutrients in the muscle cell. Without these phosphates the body's ability to increase and store the amounts of protein (amino acids), glucose (carbohydrates), ATP, creatine, oxygen, and calcium within the muscle are significantly limited. Phosphoplexx enhances the uptake of these nutrients into the muscle which is extremely important to achieve the true potential of NO.The addition of this vital support system amplifies the body's ability to produce and significantly increase NO to optimal muscle and performance enhancing levels.<h2>Nutrition Facts:</h2>Serving Size: 3 TabletsServings Per Container:180 tablet bottle: 60 serves36 tablet bottle: 120 servesProvides per serve:Vitamin B9.........................................................200mcgL-Arginine Alpha Keto-Glutarate (AAKG)..........3000mgCRTS2 (controlled release technology & support system)...1791mgMethocel (micro-polymer hydrophillic ether matrix)Phosphoplexx (di-calcium phosphate; di-potassium phosphate; & di-sodium phosphate) CEM3 (creatine ethyl-ester malate) L-CitrullineNAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) Other Ingredients:Magnesium Stearate<h2>Recommended Use:</h2>Use for individuals under 200 lbs: As a dietary supplement, take 3 tablets 3 times per day (everyday).Take the first dosage the morning on an empty stomach, the second dosage before lunch on an empty stomach, and the third dosage before dinner on an empty stomach.Use for individuals over 200 lbs: Take 4 tablets 3 times per day (everyday). Take the first dosage the morning on an empty stomach, the second dosage before lunch on an empty stomach, and the third dosage before dinner on an empty stomach.Note: It is recommended to take Nitrix on an empty stomach approximately 30-45 minutes before meals (taking Nitrix with food or on a full stomach will diminish its effects). Additionally, while taking Nitrix it is ideal to keep glutamine consumption to 10 grams or under per day.Taking a product that contains ephedrine will also diminish the effects of Nitrix. To fully benefit from the vaso-muscular volumizing effects of Nitrix it is recommended to take it everyday, and consume 120oz of water per day and a diet that is rich in protein and carbohydrate.Note: Every individuals body chemistry and weight will determine how long it takes for Nitrix to include its maximum effects. Many individuals may notice the initial signs within the first 7-14 days, and each week thereafter the effects should become more pronounced.Others may begin to notice the initial sign in days 14-21, and again, each weekthereafter the effects should become more pronounced. Nutrix begins to induce its maximum vaso-musclar volumizing effects in weeks 3-12. after 12 weeks of use, discontinue for at least 4 weeks.<h2>Warning:</h2>Seek advice frrom a health care practitioner prior to use if you have any pre-existing medical condition including (but not limited to): hypotension, hypertension, heart, liver, or thyroid disease, diabetes, psychiatric disease, asthma, pernicious anemia, anxiety, depression, seizure disorder, cardiacarrhythmias stroke, difficulty urinating due to prostate enlargement, or if you are pregnant or nursing.
