The body’s aging process can be compared to rusting, which in this case happens from the inside out. Rusting is a result of cumulative free radical damage. Free radicals are compounds that are unstable and can damage the body’s cells if left unchecked. Free radicals come from our normal metabolism and our environment – for example exposure to sun, x-rays, cigarette smoke, saturated fats, alcohol, ozone, automobile exhaust, heavy metals and many other sources.

Digestion is of primary importance to health. An under active digestive system does not absorb the nutrients the body needs, either from food or from supplements. Complete Digestion is a broad spectrum digestive enzyme supplement that supports health and digestion in a multitude of ways.

The answer is yes and no, lets dig into this further to see why. Post workout is probably the most important time for protein intake and getting some to the muscles quickly has been shown to speed recovery. Quality and absorption rate are definitely important, see our previous article on protein quality for more info on this topic.

The rate of protein absorption is basically the rate at which the body will break down a given protein and turn it into amino acids which are utilized by the muscles. Read the rest of this entry »

Many people think all proteins are created equal. This is not the case. Many proteins are chemically altered or manufactured using harsh chemicals. These proteins will have a low assimilation rate (low rate of absorption), often cause digestive and intestinal problems and can taste terrible.

As protein costs have gone up many manufacturers have also turned to lower grade proteins. Manufacturers have the choice of using high quality grades of protein that are primarily protein or the lower grades which use inferior raw materials and are higher in fat, lactose, carbs, and ash.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are considered “good” fats. Your body cannot make Essential Fatty Acids, and therefore they need to come from your diet or from a supplement. Since most of us do not consume a diet high in these fats it may become necessary to take a dietary supplement. EFAs contribute to your health in too many ways to list here. Research with EFAs as supplements has been performed in relation to their potential benefits to your heart, skin, brain, eyes, joints and more.

The ideal intake ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids is between 1:1 and 4:1. This means for every gram of Omega-6 you need up to one gram of Omega-3. Read the rest of this entry »

Almost all of us would like to change our body composition by either losing body fat or building muscle. In fact I would be willing to bet that most of us would like to do both at the same time. Although this is difficult it definitely is possible for someone who is highly motivated.

Putting together a plan on paper is relatively easy however the day to day discipline and consistency are hard to maintain. I have broken this plan down into four parts which are necessary for making changes in body composition. It is important that all of the plans components are followed. You cannot leave out or adapt parts of the program and expect to get results.

One of the key elements to post-cycle recovery when coming off a prohormone/steroid is controlling estrogen. High levels of estrogen in men can cause a whole host of negative effects such as water retention (bloating), gynocemastia (swelling of breast tissue), depression and suppression of natural testosterone production leading to muscle and strength loss.

Some prohormones/steroids directly convert from an androgen to an estrogen via the aromatase enzyme. Read the rest of this entry »

Minimizing the post cycle rebound effect and maximizing muscle retention is always a battle for steroid/prohormone users. Taking synthetic forms of testosterone will shut off natural testosterone production and raise estrogen levels and can be menacing if not kept in check post cycle.

At the end of a cycle people will usually supplement with anti-estrogens and natural testosterone boosters to combat the post cycle hormone rebound effect. Most prohormone/steroid users will lose much of the muscle gained during the cycle even if these precautions are made.
