ALRI Restore:

2010-03-10T10:35:00.000-05:00

*Loaded with Muscle Inducing Testosterone Ingredients.
*"Natural Endogenous Testosterone Amplifier."

Purus Labs maintains its focus on bringing you safe, anabolism-inducing product stacks by engineering the most pivotal compliment to any "pro-anabolic" cycle. Organ Shield, was specifically designed to support hepatic (liver), prostatic (prostate), and cardiovascular (heart) function during times of high stress, such as when using "pro-anabolics." This blend of specific antioxidants, flavanoids, and phytonutrients scavenges free radicals. 365 days a year, whether ON-cycle or OFF-cycle, this is a must for any serious athletes' arsenal!

ALRI Industries Restore! In the ever expanding world of performance and health supplementation today, ALRI Industries Restore is not just another testosterone booster. Though an increase in testosterone production alone is pretty cool, and one of the reported major benefits of Restore, it would be only part of the Restore optimized male matrix. ALRI Restore is a "hard-core only" type of supplement, and those who use it want to promote lean mass acquisition by way of improved over-all health. We all want to be healthy optimized males! We don't want to deal with the negative side affects of excess estrogen from any source. It shuts down testosterone production and makes people fat and bitchy. We like being men!

Free-T (Proprietary Pure Avenacosides Matrix) - Seems most males who use supplements for lean mass gains have heard of Avena Sativa. Yeah, I know, lots of products already have some form avena sativa or its extracts in it, so what makes this one special? Of course we used an extraction process for maximum active compound content (greatest possible amount of active milligrams per capsule), but in truth Restore as a product is special, our Free-T (Proprietary Pure Avenacosides Matrix) from avena sativa just works well in the whole matrix to provide maximum results.

In the body testosterone travels around in two forms: Bound or inactive; meaning it is bound to a protein called SHBGB, and Unbound or free; meaning it is free to do manly things like build muscle. Basically there are phytochemicals in avena sativa called avenacosides A and B. Some studies indicate avenacosides increase actual active or free testosterone in the body by freeing up the bound testosterone from SHBG so there is more active testosterone.

Genetic limitations are now a thing of the past! Anator-p70 is clinically proven and so devastatingly powerful it literally turns on your DNA for muscle growth, allowing you to maximize your genetic potential in order for you to increase muscle mass and size to the fullest extent of your natural ability. Anator-p70 activates the key signaling cascades consisting of mTOR, PKB, and p70S6K, which ultimately lead to faster muscle growth you just can't get with any other bodybuilding supplement. With Anator-p70, you can now maximally activate your genetics for massive muscle growth! Anator-p70 force-feeds signals to your genes, turning on the muscle building process, and at the same time, this same supplement controls FOXO and turns off MAFbx. These are the genetic regulators that prevent muscle growth! This is not hype. This is proven, irrefutable, scientific fact. Anator-p70 works immediately, the first time, every time. Anator-p70 is the most exciting development in the science of muscle growth ever recorded! Anator-p70 is the result of over five years and over a million dollars in research at the University of Nottingham by Team MuscleTech and the leading authority on muscle metabolism research, Dr. Paul Greenhaff.

Somatomax:

2010-03-05T11:18:00.001-05:00

Somatomax:
*HGH Releaser.
*Cartilage growth and repair.
*Activates and increases protein synthesis in muscle, and limits nitrogen catabolism.

Somatomax is a unique new night time formula that can increase the amount of HGH you release by over 1,600% during the first few hours of sleep, which is when the vast majority of HGH is released. Somatomax produces important physiological, biochemical, and behavioral effects when administered orally. Some posssible benefits that Somatomax adminstration has upon athletic performances are remarkable.

Somotomax has been shown to do the following:

*HGH secretion by as much as 16 times that normally produced
*Cartilage growth and repair
*Fat metabolism that induces less body fat and more muscularity
*Activates and increases protein synthesis in muscle, and limits nitrogen catabolism
*Lowers blood cholesterol levels
*Induces sleep and hypotnia(muscle relaxation)
*Enhances libido and sexual performance in both sexes
*The increased HGH secretion produced by Somatomax administration is far in excess of any other previously available HGH stimulator. In fact, daily Somatomax administration produces a more pronounced and enduring plasma HGH level than daily injections with 1ml (2IU) of the currently marketed synthetic growth hormones.

HGH promotes fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It stimulates adipose(fatty) tissue to release fats and helps in mediating the switch from burning predominately carbohydrates to predominately fats for energy. HGH has been used by many athletes, regardless of its legality and its great expense, to elicit the obvious advantages of greater plasma concentrations. Somatomax provides an alternate, more convenient, natural and inexpensive method of substantially increasing HGH plasma levels beyond previous parameters.

Conclusion:

Somotomax HGH Releaser is a dietery supplement used as a nighttime formula to enhance natural sleep and to assist the body in the release of natural hormonal compounds, including HGH. Somotomax may also be used in smaller servings as a daytime formula for a feeling of well being, increased energy and to enhance libido and sexual function. In conjunction with exercise, Somatomax will lead to an increase in muscle and a reduction of fat. Clinical studies on Somatomax suggest that Somatomax significantly stimulates HGH and modulates cortisol, which makes Somatomax a particularly effective supplement for males desiring to increase muscle mass.

2010-03-04T10:21:00.000-05:00

Anavar Tablets Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals:
*Accelerate muscle growth and strength.
*Anavar stimulates and drives adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (the biomolecule that fuels intense muscular contraction) into muscle cells
*Elevates and sustains nitrous oxide production through arginase inhibition, increases protein synthesis, glucose uptake and deposition, and blocks the catabolic effects of cortisol on muscle tissue.

Hi-Tech Anavar 180 caps - World's First and Only Controlled-Release Natural Steroidal Anabolic Agent. Revolutionary Muscle Building Catalyst. THIS IS THE NEW FORMULA! Designed to Increase Strength and Size. Anavar, by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, is the latest creation to be released from the research and development team at Hi-Tech Products.

Elevates Testosterone Levels Throughout the Day.
Increase Anabolic Properties by Promoting Anabolism.
Increases Strength by Stimulating Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
Amplifies Nitric Oxide with Revolutionary Arginase Inhibitors.

Anavar is a product you consume and within 10-15 minutes you FEEL its effects. Without a doubt, Anavar is going to take the bodybuilding world by storm.

Anavar is scientifically formulated to drive ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate into the muscle cells continually for sustained muscle growth. Anavar has taken ten years worth of cumulative efforts on behalf of the researchers, physicians, and pharmacologists of Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Hi-Tech has always been an innovator in terms of muscular development. Our company was founded on bodybuilding principles and we have always been on the “cutting edge” of the nutriceutical community. Our focus over the past 7 years has centered around sexual stimulants and weight loss products. Hi-Tech introduced Stamina-Rx® to the market as a revolutionary sexual stimulant in 2001 and shortly after introduced Lipodrene to the market for weight loss. Hi-Tech employs real medical doctors and Pharmacologists to assist our research staff in formulating scientifically based nutriceuticals that work! Anavar has a multi-faceted approach that we believe will bring muscle building supplementation to a new level of effectiveness! As companies began distributing pro-hormones into the marketplace with little to no science behind them we decided to put our medical staff to work. Our goal was to find the most effective ergogenic supplements to help build lean muscle mass, increase strength, enhance recovery, and block cortisols catabolic effect on muscle tissue. We achieved this goal with the development of ANAVAR. The name of the product is very fitting as you will later notice due to its mode of action in achieving muscular development.

Anavar is scientifically formulated to achieve results that were once only possible through steroids. Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. consulted with a small highly technologically advanced research lab in Belize whose staff includes leading biochemists, physiologists, and researchers. Pharmatec, Ltd. in Belize spent years with our researchers developing prototypes and on the science behind Anavar. As Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. developed a dozen sexual stimulants prior to the release of Stamina-Rx® we had a few compounds we discovered that held a great deal of promise, but were excluded from our revolutionary formula. We happened upon two compounds BEC and ABH that were intended for a potency product when many of our test subjects reported better pumps, recovery times, and endurance while taking these compounds. Stamina-Rx® was finished in its Research and Development phase and ready to be released to the public. These two compounds were excluded in the formulation as the amount of each component necessary for an ethical dosage precluded our small-hexagonal shaped tablet. A study performed by the research staff at Pharmatec, Ltd. in Belize and Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. revealed the following impact on lean body mass.

Thirty men took ANAVAR daily for 30 days. They observed an average 29% fall in insulin levels. They also found a 109% increase in IGF-1 (a powerful hormone with noticeable effects on body composition), a 19% decrease in body fat, and a 10.3% increase in lean body mass.

Yet another study on women revealed that while taking Anavar™ for just 28 days that they decreased body fat levels by 29% while maintaining the same overall body weight. This indicates a significant increase in lean body mass at the expense of body fat.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND Anavar

STEP ONE: Adenosine Triphosphate Saturation

Creatine monohydrate was introduced in the early 1990’s under the name Phosphagen® by Ed Byrd. He also invented NOZ®, which is an elevator of Nitric Oxide. Ed Byrd has been at the forefront of two revolutionary products and is a respected member of our industry. Creatine monohydrate is a metabolite that functions as a precursor to creatine phosphate. Once converted to creatine phosphate it provides a “high energy” phosphate molecule for ATP production. ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate is the chemical in our bodies that fuels all muscular contractions. This chain on events is known as the Krebs Cycle. Companies soon began marketing creatine with delivery systems with little to no science behind them to increase profit margins. Hi-Tech never sold any “Creatine Shuttle” product, but only pure 100% Pharmaceutical Grade creatine monohydrate. Anavar™ is scientifically formulated to drive ATP into muscle cells continually for sustained muscle growth. Adenosine Triphosphate in fact is nature’s “universal energy store” and it explains why phosphates are a vital ingredient in muscle growth and strength.

The 1997 Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been awarded to 3 biochemists for the study of the important biological molecule Adenosine Triphosphate. Humans require a continual supply of energy in order to function. These functions include the metabolism of foods, the synthesis of protein and DNA, and muscle contraction. The energy contained in foods- carbohydrates, protein, or fat – must be stored as energy within Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecules before it can be used by any cell in your body. Because of this, and since muscular exercise depends on a steady, often expansive, supply of ATP to provide the energy needed for muscular contractions, muscles needed dependable “metabolic pathways”, which can provide ATP at a rapid, reliable rate. ATP usually has a very short “half life” of 8-10 seconds before muscle supplies are used up and creatine must combine with phosphates to form more ATP. A second ATP producing pathway is known as glycolysis, which includes the breakdown of carbohydrates (glucose or glycogen) within muscle cells to form ATP. Glycolysis is the dominant ATP production system for strenuous activities lasting more than 10 seconds. This is where ANAVAR’s scientifically formulated product differs from the rest of the industry. Anavar™ is able to drive ATP into the muscle cells continually for sustained muscle growth! Anavar™ continues to build up ATP “pools” so athletes do not plateau where strength and size no longer increase. How did we achieve this? Our pharmacologists, physicians, and research staff researched the Krebs cycle continuously and finally hit the “Jackpot”! We synthesized Adenosine Triphosphate, Creatine Bitartrate and Creatine Monohydrate, and Inosine and incorporated a proprietary chelation process developed by Pharmatec, Ltd. The above three compounds are first chelated with Aspartic Acid and then chelated a second time in EAP (ethanol amino phosphoric acid), a valuable constituent of human nerve tissue. By chelating these compounds with EAP they are delivered directly to the nerves. And by chelating them with Aspartic Acid they are brought to the muscles. This (Dual Bioavailibility Complex™-DBC™) is formed using a very complex, scientific process where the positive and negative charges create a bend after being placed in a crysolvator at a 20:1 ratio. The proprietary cryosolvation process uses extremely low temperature to process these compounds. Due to this extreme low temperature processing the resulting components are preserved! These processes took years to develop…any products claiming to be even remotely similar are simply lying. What does this mean to athletes? These proprietary compounds now possess the ability to penetrate cell walls of both cardiac and skeletal muscle and once inside promote the manufacture of ATP, the substance in the body that allows muscles to contract. Athletes wishing to exercise longer without experiencing muscle fatigue will benefit from Anavar™. This also promotes the production of a little known substance known as 2,3-DPG that is necessary for the transport of oxygen molecules from the red blood cells to the cell for energy. Athletes will experience dramatic strength and endurance gains, which ultimately lead to muscle growth.

STEP TWO: Arginase Inhibition and Elevating Nitric Oxide

Anavar’s™ second mode of action is to increase nitric oxide to the skeletal muscle to enhance recovery, muscle growth, and endurance. Anavar™ does this by its patent-pending arginase inhibitors for muscle growth. The amino acid L-Arginine produces nitric oxide within the body. Research shows that the two primary arginase inhibitors in Anavar™ 1) S-(2-boronethyl)-L-Cysteine HCL – known as BEC and 2) 2(S)-Amino-6-boronohexanoic Acid – known as ABH, bind to the natural enzyme arginase. Arginase is what breaks down L-Arginine and renders it useless in the making of nitric oxide. What Anavar™ has done is to stop the breakdown of L-Arginine by inhibiting arginase. Nitric oxide was labeled by Science Magazine as the “molecule of the year” and it also won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998! Nitric oxide is a chemical “trigger” which can ultimately lead to muscle growth. Unfortunately, most Nitric Oxide products on the market today don’t accomplish their goal. Hi-Tech manufactured AKG and KIC ten years ago and much like Bell-Bottoms supplement companies have reincarnated these products, but claim they are “New Discoveries”. Their effects are modest at best due to their inability to bind to Arginine and the enzyme Nitric Oxide. ANAVAR™ binds tightly to the enzyme Arginase, preventing the enzyme from quickly losing its beneficial effects such as: 1) Increase blood flow delivering more nutrients, ATP, and hormones to muscles; thus allowing muscles to become larger when subject to stress, 2) Increased strength, endurance, and vascularity are also noticeable when taking ANAVAR™.

STEP THREE: Proprietary Non-Steroidal Anabolic Agent

Anavar™ incorporates the world’s first non-steroidal anabolic agent, 25R, Spirostan-5A-Diol-6-one-3-one, which has a 33:1 anabolic/ androgenic ratio. This has been shown to increase size, strength, lean body mass, and block cortisols catabolic effect on muscle tissue. This amazing compound was discovered by Russian scientist V.N. Syrov in 1976. Our researchers uncovered this discovery in an attempt to find a more effective anabolic agent than any pro-hormones and to minimize androgenic effects also. This compound promotes growth without harmful side effects found in most hormonal products. The 33:1 ratio found for muscular development is an extremely important ration because substances like Testosterone with a 1:1 ratio can shut down your body’s leutenizing hormone and Testosterone production.

Conclusion

Anavar is the most scientifically based product for muscle growth, strength, lean mass, and endurance. Hi-Tech spends huge sums of money on Research and development. Just as our revolutionary products Stamina-Rx® and Lipodrene® have dramatically impacted their respective categories we think Anavar™ will do so in the bodybuilding arena. Just as G.D. Searle discovered Aspartame in 1966 as an ulcer drug and a researcher licked his finger, which was sweet, and now is a popular sweetener. Pfizer developed Viagra® originally as a heart medication only to realize it had a side effects such as patients getting an erection. Hi-Tech originally was developing ABH and BEC as sexual stimulants only to find out that these compounds had amazing muscle building properties. Sometimes you spend enough time and effort you get lucky. With the discovery of BEC and ABH we developed the science behind Adenosine Triphosphate saturation and our non-steroidal anabolic agent to make the incredible product Anavar™. Anavar™ will allow muscles to “hyper-hydrate” allowing the individual muscle cells to hold extra fluid. The extra fluid capacity increases muscle cell size and effectively pulls more nutrients into the muscle cell where the all-important protein synthesis occurs. Anavar™ works within one week and size and strength are rapid and very apparent. Try ANAVAR™ today and see results in the gym and mirror tomorrow!

Oxybolin250:

2010-03-03T10:32:00.003-05:00

Oxybolin 250 Body Building Supplement is the product every athlete or health conscious person has been waiting for!
Oxybolin 250™ is perfect for:

Oxybolin is for Anyone who wants to build muscle and/or enhance athletic performance.

Any bodybuilder/ athlete already using anabolic steroids, HGH, and/or creatine supplements who wants to promote muscle growth.

Anyone who wants a supplement that will complement (rather than be redundant to) his or her current athletic supplement stack.

Athletes who are avoiding androgen supplements (e.g., women), but still want to promote muscle growth.
Every now and then, a supplement comes along that defies the odds. In other words, it actually works the way its advertisers claim, and at the dosages recommended on the bottle. This is far from the norm, though. In my opinion, the only clear-cut, non-steroidal anabolic agent and ergogenic aid to come out of the 90’s was creatine.

As fate would have it, I recently received a lot of Soviet translated research on a water soluable, sugar-like derivative of cholesterol. According to the data, it is orally active, effective at low dosages (assuming the proper starting material is used prior to extraction), non-toxic, and in most people, exerts noticeable effects in less than 10 days. It’s called 20-Hydroxyecdysone (20-EC), and I can honestly say that this compound works, if extracted correctly with the other phytochemicals in Rhaponticum carthamoides.

As a group, ecdysteroids are naturally occurring, polyhydroxylated plant sterols that have a plethora of non-hormonal anabolic and ergogenic activities in the body. Their structure includes three hexane (6 carbon) rings and one pentane (5 carbon) rings. The most biologically active form of the ecdysteroids is thought to be 20-EC and turkesterone, both of which are harvested from Rhaponticum carthamoides. Extracts of this potent plant have been approved by the Ministry of Public Health in the former Soviet Union over 20 years ago to be used for “raising the mental and physical working ability” as a pharmacological preparation.

Introduction
Rhaponticum carthamoides (Willd.) Iljin, syn. Leuzea carthamoides (Willd.) DC, is a large perennial herb in the compositae family. Rhaponticum carthamoides has a wood-like horizontal rhizome, multiple long, hard roots, and is capable of growing to a height of over six feet. Rhaponticum carthamoides grows in the pristine alpine and subalpine zones, and alpine meadows of Southern Siberia. The roots and rhizomes are the medicinal parts, with the biological activity determined by phytoecdystone quantity, including ecdysterone.

This herb is a hidden jewel. Rhaponticum carthamoides extract (RCE) has demonstrated a normalizing effect on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. RCE improves sleep, appetite, mood, mental and physical state, and the functional ability of humans under working conditions. It is a classic adaptogen, possessing a wide spectrum of anabolic activities, acting on the contractile proteins of the skeletal muscles, as well as on other areas of the body, including the liver, heart, kidneys, and brain. It builds lean muscle, reduces body fat, improves work and/or athletic performance, improves mental acuity, relieves depression, is a tonic for the vital organ systems, is reliable blood-building tonic, and delays the effects of aging. It is useful for both andropause and menopause.

Chemistry
The principal constituents of the whole plant are ecdysteroids (5-beta-cholest-6-on-7-ene derivatives) and flavonoids. Also polyacetylenes and triterpenes have been isolated from different parts of the plant (Girault et. al. 1984, Szendrei et. al. 1984, Varga et al. 1986 and 1990). Of the isolated compounds, only 20-hydroxyecdysone and Turkesterone are currently considered to play an important role in the action of this plant. (Syrov and Kurmukov 1976). The main flavonoides are 6-methoxy-kampferol, patuletin, isorhamnetin-glycoside and quercetin-5-glycoside. All leaf and root samples contained 20-hydroxyecdysone as a main compound of Rhaponticum carthamoides. The 20-hydroxyecdysone of the roots ranged from 0.7% to 2.0% being higher than that of the leaves.

The 20-hydroxyecdysone content of the leaves ranged between 0.006 and 0.10%. According to the quantitative and qualitative data obtained experimentally, the optimum time for root harvest of Rhaponticum carthamoides is at the end of August when the 20-hydroxyecdysone content is the highest.

The research on the effects of Rhaponticum carthamoides has been done for the last 60 years on the whole plant extract with 20-Hydroxyecdysone and turkesterone being the principal active compounds. Ingested ecdysteroids survive exposure to gastric acid and are rapidly absorbed into the enteric blood vessels. Excretion is primarily via the liver. More recent research has identified 8 ecdysterones, and has confirmed synergy in their combined usage (Baltaev and Abubakirov 1987; Gorovits et al 1974; 1977). When using a powdered extract of Rhaponticum carthamoides ensure that it is standardized to 50-65% 20-Hydroxyecdysterone. This will ensure that the extract possesses an effective amount of 20-EC and with a natural extraction process it should yield between 75% and 100% total Ecdysones or ecdysteroids. When properly extracted, Rhaponticum carthamoides should have 2 parts 20-Hydroxyecdysterone to 1 part total ecdysones or ecdysteroids. Rhaponticum carthamoides contains a number of other biologically active compounds believed to act in harmony with ecdysterones, imparting its unique adaptogenic qualities (Azizov and Seifulla 1998). It is rich in flavanoids, sesquiterpene lactones, and polyines (Opletal et al 1997).

Chemical Constituents of Rhaponticum Carthamoides Extract (RCE)
Phytoecdysteroids:
(polyhydroxyethylated sterols; mainly 20-beta-hydroxyecdysterone), ecdysone, isoinokosterone, 20-hydroxyecdysone, and ecdysterone; turkesterone, sileneoside A, cyasterone, and inokosterone (Krasnov et al 1977)
Flavonoids:
including quercetin and kaempferol (antioxidative, ER receptor regulator) (Varga et al 1990) quercetin 5-O-galactoside (Saratikov 1949) and isorhamnetin 5-O-rhamnoside (Sharaf et al 2001)
Glycosides:
polysaccharide-rich glucanic fractions (immune system enhancing) (Lamer-Zarawska et al 1996)
Organic acids – of these tartaric acid impairs the conversion of carbohydrates to fat (Szendrei and Varga 1984)
Carotenoids, tannins, ether oils and resins, vitamin C, and other active substances include aucsines, kinines, and polyacetylenes (Szendrei and Varga 1984; Syrov et al 1992)

Therapeutic Activity
In 1961 Rhaponticum carthamoides liquid extract (1:1) was officially recognized and included in the Soviet Pharmacopoeia as a natural remedy for overcoming fatigue, improving physical and mental productivity performance, and for shortening recovery time after illness. Over the years, RCE has been reported to have numerous pharmacological effects in humans and laboratory animals (Kokoska et al 2002; Kolmakova and Kutolina 1966).

Adaptogenic Activity
RCE has pronounced adaptogenic effects. It increases dynamic work capacity, improves stress response and adaptability to physical and mental challenges, and enhances mental and physical capacity for work under unfavorable conditions. It has a fundamentally different mechanism of action than anabolic steroids in that it does not cause the androgenic, thymolytic or antigonadotropic effects associated with anabolic steroid use.

During intense muscular activity, RCE inhibits disorders of energetic metabolism, maintains stable glycogen levels in the skeletal muscles, increases the blood supply to the muscles and brain, and shortens the recovery period after prolonged muscular workloads. Animals given RCE and subjected experimentally to extreme stressors (a wide range of physical, chemical and biological factors) as part of screening techniques for adaptogenic plants, were found to have increased resistance to the adverse influence of various chemical stressors. RCE normalizes adrenal health (weight) and other endocrine glands during and after prolonged periods of stress. Administration of RCE improved cold temperature adaptation in men working in a Nordic climate (Galambosi et al 1997).

Athletic Enhancement and Recovery, including Metabolic Effects
Studies conducted at the National Research Institute of Sports in Moscow, Russia have confirmed that the use of RCE by trained athletes improves endurance, speed, recovery and other physiological parameters. Based on in-depth studies, Russian scientists, researchers, and trainers recommend RCE in many areas of athletics. Since it actively influences metabolic processes RCE is effective for preventing and eliminating myocardial tension associated with exercise. Laboratory studies have shown the anabolic affects of RCE, including the capacity to increase body weight by improving the muscle-fat ration, to increase hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels, to raise the total level of protein content in the blood, and to reduce the build-up of uric acid. The proven net result of this nutrient is that the body’s muscle building processes outpace the muscle breakdown processes, leading to greater fitness, endurance and performance (Saratikov 1949; Cherdyntsev 1970; Salnik 1970; Demin et al 1976; Syrov and Kurmokov 1976; Gerasyuta and Koval 1981a; Lupandin 1991; Seifulla et al 1993; Gadzhieva et al 1995; Logvinov and Pugachenko 2001). During intense muscular activity, RCE maintains a stable level of glycogen and phosphates in the skeletal muscles, increasing the blood supply to the muscles and brain. It shortens the recovery period after prolonged muscular workloads, estimated by normalizing of cardiovascular parameters (Cherdyntsev 1970; Salnik 1970). Demin et al. (1976) reported a significant increase in physical performance – strength, endurance and coordination in top-level athletes after taking RCE. Seifula et al. (1993) demonstrated that the RCE in combination with carnitine increased the maximum running speed and endurance (Demin et al 1976; Seifulla et al 1993). According to V. Petkov et al. (1984) RCE considerably increases the working capacity of tired skeletal muscles and increases the concentration of glycogen, ATP and creatine phosphate (Petkov et al 1984). The intense physical activity of high-class athletes leads to an increase in blood coagulation, which causes soreness of the muscles and often results in injuries. A comparative study was conducted using an extract blend of RCE and Eleutherococcus senticosus in combination with vitamins. A 20-day course produced a decrease in the blood clotting and blood coagulation factors induced by intensive athletic training. Treatment with this new combination adaptogenic product caused a marked reduction in the coagulation potential in athletes, accompanied by increased work capacity and recovery after intensive training (Azizov 1997). In another experiment with athletes it was found that the same “polyadaptogens” provide significant antioxidant effect (Azizov and Seifulla 1998). Studies at the Russian National Sports Research Institute revealed that RCE and several RCE based products possess a broad spectrum of anabolic actions. Leading sport pharmacologist S.N. Portugalov with a group of his associates have demonstrated that RCE possesses a significant anabolic activity and when used by top level athletes (middle and long distance runners) it can prevent them from losing lean muscle tissue during the time of intensive training enhancing their sport performance (Pourtugalov et al 1994; Gadzhieva et al 1995).

In one study a natural protein substance known to favorably influence the muscle-fat ratio, as well as work capacity among athletes, was used in combination with RCE and compared to placebo (Lupandin 1991). In the combined study it was found that taking RCE combined with additional supplemental protein was optimal to achieve the highest increase in work capacity in athletes. Of the athletes who consumed just protein, only a slight increase in muscle mass was observed. Those who used a placebo lost a slight amount of lean muscle, while those who used protein plus ecdysterone showed a 6-7% increase in lean muscle tissue with nearly a 10% reduction in fat. No difference in hormonal parameters in those taking RCE was observed during the study period.

RCE was tested on the human body by caliperometric measurements of body folds. RCE taken orally for three weeks diminished body fat and increased lean muscle content under conditions of daily aerobic-anaerobic training. RCE increased the muscle mass, as well as the magnitude of “total work” (Syrov and Kurmukov 1976). In an experiment with 112 athletes, 89 percent of those receiving RCE displayed a more rapid passing of fatigue, less apathy after physical work, and improved performance in sports, such as track and field athletics, swimming, speed skating and ski racing. The speed and strength qualities of the tested athletes were all significantly improved in comparison with the control group that received a placebo. After taking RCE, 69 percent of the subjects displayed accelerated adaptation to climatic and social conditions, 86 percent displayed an improved appetite, and 78 percent registered a significant increase in adaptation to intense physical workloads. Additionally, a comparison experiment was conducted with commonly known anabolic steroids. The effects of RCE were comparable to that of the steroid compounds, yet RCE had none of the negative affects on the function of the adrenal cortex. The androgenic effects of anabolic steroids and their accompanying side effects were not revealed in the RCE (Lupandin 1991).

Anti-diabetic/ Insulintrophic
In a study of people with diabetes, who were treated with a combination of Eleutherococcus, Rhaponticum, and Rhodiola extracts, impressive improvements in the normalization of blood glucose levels were shown (Kolmakova and Kutolinam 1966).

Increased protein synthesis
Introduction of ecdysterone, (0.5 mg/ 100 g), from RCE, to rats for 7 days was accompanied by accelerated body weight gain and also by a rising weight of the liver, heart, and kidneys. In these organs the total amount of protein increases (Seifulla et al 1993). Studies conducted in seven clinics in Moscow, Kiev, and Leningrad revealed that RCE significantly improves the physical and mental state of patients; increases work capacity and increases body weight during conditions of decreased nourishment caused by protein synthesis disorders. Its anabolic properties cause a normalization of body weight with no negative influences noted on the functions of either the adrenal cortex or the endocrine glands (Antoshechkin 2000). RCE specifically helps prevent the catabolic state seen with stress. Components of the plant have shown anabolic properties in clinical studies. Under conditions of daily aerobic and anaerobic training, patients who consumed RCE for three weeks lost fat and gained muscle mass (Syrov et al 1997).

Pharmacology
Rhaponticum carthamoides considerably increases the capacity of tired skeletal muscles, and contributes to a more sparing use of carbohydrates and an enhanced new synthesis of glycogen and high-energy phosphorus compounds (Salnik 1967). When given to athletes, its extract is claimed to increase endurance, reflexes and concentration, while the athletes grew tired later and recovered earlier (Saratikov 1966). The rhizomes and roots of Rhaponticum carthamoides are officially listed in the Russian Pharmacopoeia. The fluid extract and the crude ecdysteroid fraction obtained from the roots are used in the production of Ecdysten tablets, which are used in the official medicine in Russia. Also other preparations made from these are marketed in a number of countries.

Molecule Pic
Turkesterone
Turkesterone is contained in Rhaponticum extracts at a greater than 25% when extracted properly. Dr. Zakir Ramazonov, a world-renowned scientist, believes turkesterone to be the most potent ecdysteroid. Unfortunately, most extracts on the market today are void of the “full spectrum” of ecdysteroids, including Turkesterone.

Mechanism of Action
In contrast to anabolic-androgenic steroids that exert their effects hormonally, 20-EC and turkesterone appear to have several different mechanisms of action. In a nutshell, they appear to act as potent “adaptogenic” compounds, enabling athletes to increase their workloads, improve recovery and stimulate gains in strength and stamina during periods of intense physical activity. In other words, they appear to promote a “super training” effect.

Typically, purported wonder supplements like this one are teased out of research from other species and/ or from trauma patients, which can be quite different from the typical trainee. Not so with ecdysterone. During the past 20 years, at least seven different Eastern Bloc scientific teams have completed comprehensive research studies on 20-EC. As a result of this research, data have been collected on mice, rats, cats, birds, cattle, and yes, humans – top level male and female athletes, to be exact.

The most intriguing part about 20-EC is that despite its wide spectrum of biologic activities, the benefits seem to occur without causing androgenic (body hair, male pattern baldness, etc.) or anti-gonadotrophic (testicle-shrinking) side effects. This is not totally unexpected considering that 20-EC does not appear to bind to androgen or estrogen receptors. Therefore, men can use it without risk of developing gynecomastia (“bitch tits”), and women can apparently use it without risk of masculinization.

In fact, the safety of 20-EC is unquestioned in Eastern literature, even at doses much higher than the 30-50 mg/day necessary to induce anabolic and ergogenic effects. As far as we are aware, not a single athlete in any research study to date reported having subjective side effects during supplementation with 20-EC. There were also no objective changes in blood work routinely used to assess side effects (i.e., resting hormone levels, blood lipids or tissue [liver] enzymes).

At this point, some of the more suspicious readers are probably asking the million-dollar question: What’s the difference (if any) between all the 20-EC products on the market? Very simply put – quality. You see, to extract 20-EC from Russian Rhaponticum is an expensive proposition; it costs about $2,500 a kilogram to do it right. This explains why knock-off products using inferior material (typically derived from Chinese sources) are widespread. There are even companies using Chinese 20-EC that reference the Russian data in their advertisements. Misleading? It is in my book. And the reason is simple: to enhance their profit margin (Chinese 20-EC is only several hundred dollars per kilo).

The difference in the quality of Rhaponticum extracts is enormous! As a matter of fact many people have tried ecdysterone products in the past and it did not work at all. Today Authertic Rhaponticum extracts that include turkesterone and 20-Hydroxyecdysterone exhibit sales that are largely from repeat buyers – which shows it works. Only products on the market that contain active fractions of both 20-Hydroxyecdysterone and turkesterone – the latter of which may prove to be the most anabolic – appear advantageous.

Editors Note: Hi-Tech’s Oxybolin 250™ appears to be the only ecdysteroid product to currently contain actual turkesterone with active fractions of 20-Hydroxyecdysterone as well. It is standardized to 250 mg Rhaponticum carthamoides extract per tablet with a “full spectrum” of total ecdysteroids. It is standardized to contain: 165 mg 20-Hydroxyecdysterone – 10 mg turkesterone – 70 mg broad-spectrum ecdysteroids. This yield is 98% pure Rhaponticum carthamoides extract in Oxybolin 250™.

Although Oxybolin 25™ by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. appears to be the first product of its kind, you can expect many copycats in the near future. Do not be fooled. Oxybolin 250™’s release is great news for anyone wanting to increase lean muscle mass, decrease fat and improve performance. So bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts, and athletes pay attention, the muscle-building breakthrough of the 21st century is here and the results being achieved by Oxybolin 250 has been phenomenal. Oxybolin 250 works to create the “perfect” muscle-building environment in the body, among other positive effects. The perfect conditions for creating the perfect muscle building environment include maintaining a positive nitrogen balance and increasing protein synthesis along with intelligent, consistent exercise and a balanced diet rich in protein. It’s long been understood that if the body was able to maintain the perfect anabolic environment, maximum muscle growth would occur. Oxybolin 250ä enhances the rate of protein synthesis while simultaneously showing no side effects. Now with the release of Oxybolin 250ä these amazing results can be achieved. I conducted a study to determine the effect of Oxybolin 250ä on muscle tissue mass and fat mass, while testing for hormonal changes in the subjects. For the study, three control factors were used: a placebo, protein, and Oxybolin 250ä with protein. The results were significantly in favor of the third factor. Of the 50 highly trained male and 10 female athletes who consumed Oxybolin 250ä and protein showed an 8% increase in lean muscle tissue with a 9.8% reduction in fat! This was achieved in only 30 days. Safety testing was conducted during the same period which showed no difference in hormonal balance. If Oxybolin 250ä can do this for highly trained athletes, just think what it can do for the average person!

Oxybolin 250™ also contains a proprietary blend of 6-Keto Diosgenin, Beta-Sitosterol, 7-Keto Diosgenin, 6,7 Dihydroxybergamottin and Naringen for additional benefits. These compounds act to work synergistically with Rhaponticum carthamoides extract. The wild yam yields natural steroid alkaloids called “diosgenins” that are virtually identical to synthetic chemical structures of several prescription steroids formulated years ago. And, because these steroidal alkaloids are completely natural, they can be further “tweaked” to exert an even stronger anabolic effect. This is what has been done when forming 6-Keto and 7-Keto Diosgenin. Beta-Sitosterol is a plant sterol that can increase the levels of natural testosterone without added estrogenic and androgenic side effects. This product may also have anabolic activity on its own and has proven to have many health benefits like assisting in lowering cholesterol and protecting the hair and prostate from conversion of testosterone to DHT. Lastly, Extend-Rx™ has been incorporated to extend the half-life of all the substances and ensure first pass through the liver does not deactivate these compounds. Many pro-hormones, testosterone, and oral plant sterols have poor oral absorption, and have a very short (20-60 minute) duration of action. Extend-Rx™ allows “safe passage” to the bloodstream, as well as, prolongs the time in which the plant steroids remain active in the body. Oxybolin 250™ works by a different mechanism than other bodybuilding supplements (such as androgens, creatine, HGH, and protein), so it can also be complementary to an athletic supplement stack rather than redundant.

Why you should take bodybuilding supplements:

2010-03-02T11:44:00.000-05:00

Why do you need to pay attention to supplements when you can just exercise, right?

Even though it is true that exercise plays a very large role in building muscles, it simply is not enough to get those muscles growing. If you want to gain muscle mass and get ripped you have to get eating down to a science. Simply put, you cant build anything that isnt there, so to be able to bulk up you have to learn what raw materials your body needs to start building muscle mass first before doing the exercises to shape up.

So why should you be bothering with a bodybuilding supplement?

Well, because they are full of the building blocks of muscle, protein! Protein is the type of calorie that your body converts to muscle mass when burned. Food is important because it gives your body the fuel needed to get going called calories. Calories are classified into three types: Carbohydrates, fats and protein. When protein calories are consumed for energy it is converted to muscle mass. Protein can be taken out of protein rich food items such as eggs and meat.

Why do you need additional supplementation, then, instead of simply eating more protein rich foods like meat and eggs?
Because protein isn’t all you get when you eat meat. You will also be eating fat. You only need a small amount of fat to be healthy, and the extra fat that comes in these types of foods is very easily stored. This can make you gain more fat instead of muscle. Proteins are broken down when they’re cooked. And it’s not a good idea to eat raw egg whites, either. Although you might think this is a good idea, you can get salmonella poisoning from doing so. In addition, eating the whites but discarding the yolk is a HUGE waste of food!

Bodybuilding supplements can give you a safe, high doses of protein that are easy to take. Once you have enough protein in your diet, the next thing you need to do is to concentrate on bulking up the part of your body want to be the most muscular. That is, you “strain” the muscles you want to build up. When you strain these muscles, you break them down. They build back up using the protein you fed your system, and they come back bigger and stronger. This is so that they can handle the added strain you’re giving them. But of course, a good side effect of this is that you get bigger, leaner muscles.

Once you get the protein in your system it would only be a matter of concentrating activity. As most trainers would suggest, work your muscle groups to failure. In other words, concentrate activity on a muscle until it cant take it any more. For example, if you would like to make your biceps bigger then keep doing bicep curls until you cant lift your weights any more. This tells your body to compensate for the strain by adding more protein for muscle mass, making the bicep grow bigger and stronger.

Now that you know why bodybuilding supplements are ideal muscle building essentials, you should be happy to know that they come in so many forms like drinks and pills that are very convenient.

Metanabol

2010-02-25T10:41:00.002-05:00

*Synergistic Anabolic Messenger!
*Extremely increases strength!
*Increases lean muscle mass!
*Increases protein synthesis!

Metanabol is a revolutionary Pro Hormone product that produces results. With a patent pending oral delivery system, Metanabol will change the way you train forever. Increase strength and lean muscle mass like never before. Kick your training into high gear with Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals' Metanabol.

METANABOL is a revolutionary approach to building muscle through prohormones. Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals began selling prohormones in 1997 and were on the cutting-edge of these products for years. Until the release of METANABOL nothing in the industry has ever lived up to its initial hype once it gets into a “real world” setting such as the gym.

To develop a successful muscle building prohormone you must understand the anabolic/androgenic ratio of these compounds, as well as their ability to affect nitrogen balance within the body. METANABOL does this with a compound discovered by Russian Scientist V. N. Syrov in 1976 (25R Spirostan-5a-Diol-6-one-3-one) with a 33:1
Anabolic/Androgenic ratio. Hi-Tech has also combined this with other prohormones that require very little enzyme conversion by the liver to convert these prohormones into their respective compounds.

Due to the fact that many of these prohormones have a short half-life, Hi-Tech has developed a patent-pending delivery system called EXTEND-RX. This delivery system far surpasses the modern cyclodextrin or liposomes currently being used in the industry. This technology allows the tablet to reach the small intestine with “Safe Transport” to allow for maximum bioavailability. The last remarkable aspect of EXTEND-RX is its ability to withstand the “first pass” through the liver that normally causes a deactivation of all these oral prohormones. (In the past chemists have done this through the oxidation of the 17 beta-hydroxy-keto-group.) Hi- Tech Pharmaceuticals' chief pharmacologist, Timothy Gaginella, developed the EXTEND-RX originally for one of their sexual stimulants. This product is so powerful that the only question is, “When will big business try to get METANABOL off the market?”

Dianabol:

2010-02-22T11:50:00.002-05:00

*Keep acquired muscle protein within the muscles!
*Revolutionary Catalyst for Increasing Lean Mass and Strength.
*Powerful combination of precision herbal extracts!

Dianabol - Revolutionary Catalyst for Increasing Lean Mass and Strength.
A powerful combination of precision herbal extracts that trigger your body to build muscle and lose fat. Dianabol's primary role on the Hi-Tech Muscle & Strength team, which also includes Metanabol, Estrogenex, Anavar and Somatophen, is to keep acquired muscle protein within the muscles, so that you maintain a state of overall anabolism when normal protein breakdown occurs. Dianabol inhibits or blocks signals and keeps your hard earned muscles intact.

The New King of bodybuilding supplementation is no longer a drug. It is a powerful combination of precision herbal extracts that present a multi-faceted approach to building muscle and losing fat through an even wider array of metabolic pathways than its predecessor. Moreover, these mechanisms will yield permanent gains in muscle and strength... Dianabol™ works.

"Nature reveals her secrets only once," said a famous scientist. Such is likely the case with the primary active constituent in Dianabol ™: Belizean Man Vine. While medicinal uses for Man Vine were first discovered by the Mayan Indians, whose heartland was in the area around Belize, the first application for the use of Man Vine in building muscle was just recently discovered by the President of Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, who has spent the last three years looking for herbal ingredients in the Belizean rainforest to increase human performance (where 3500 higher plants are known to exist).

Unlike the individuals behind most other supplement companies, who, for the most part, sit in their offices searching the Internet for ideas to hype up their version of some "hope and a prayer" bodybuilding supplement, the President of Hi-Tech went into the trenches where the drug companies are desperately looking for solutions, in the rainforests. With the assistance of Pharmatech, Ltd. (a Belizean-based research and development company), the active compounds in Belizean Man Vine were isolated. The active constituents are called phenylethanoid glycosides, which have amazing anti-catabolic, anti-inflammatory and recuperative properties.

Dianabol contains a highly concentrated amount of these phenylethanoid glycosides, yielding dramatic results.

In a study done by Pharmatech among three groups of male subjects engaged in a weight training program, the two groups that used Belizean Man Vine extract gained 7.8 lbs and 6.3 lbs, respectively, more muscle mass than the placebo group over an eight-week period. The benefits reported, which were universal to all test subjects, are increased muscle mass, improved recovery times and increased strength. What is of particular interest is that the group that gained 6.3 more lb of muscle did so on a diet that consisted of 50% of the calories and protein than that of the group that gained 7.8 lb, clearly demonstrating the anti-proteolytic action of the extract. It is also likely that the phenylethanoid glycosides have an inhibitory effect on the inflammatory response from training and thus both increased recovery and enhanced nitric oxide production (from histamine inhibition) may be contributory factors to the acquired muscle gains. Dianabol does not just stop with Belizean Man Vine in its formulation…to live up to its name and reputation there are many other mechanisms by which Dianabol works.

Dianabol other constituents also function as anabolic agents, thereby increasing protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. These constituents have adaptogenic properties, as well, allowing the body to adapt to increased workloads and combat fatigue. This leads to skeletal muscle growth and notable strength increases. The anti-catabolic/adaptogenic properties of Dianabol also ha an important “normalizing” effect on all bodily functions. This leads to improved sleep, physical and mental state and helps prevent overtraining.

Somatophen:

2010-02-18T10:26:00.002-05:00

*Increased Muscle Mass
*Decreased Fat
*Increased HGH
*Elevated Mood

Somatophen is a combination of anterior pituitary peptides, sequenced glycoamino acids, and other HGH-releasing agents that provides an extraordinary, effective replacement therapy that is affordable. Somatophen's active components have been shown in clinical studies to have the following profound impact on HGH release. Remarkably, within 90 minutes of administering the combination of active constituents in Somatophen, HGH levels increased up to 700% above normal levels. Also, even eight hours after taking
this mixture, HGH levels were still elevated as much as 300%.

Somatophen has been shown to provide the following benefits:

*Increased Muscle Mass
*Decreased Fat
*Increased Energy Levels
*Increased HGH
*Improved cholesterol Profile
*Improved Immune Function
*Elevated Mood
*Deep, Rejuvenating Sleep

Somatophen offers a true means to potentiate a significant increase in HGH release without a prescription. Somatophen contains superior growth factors and GH-releasing agents, including anterior pituitary peptides, GHR P2, L-Arginine Pyroglutamate + Lysine and Octapeptide-8. These ingredients work synergistically to increase muscle and reduce body fat through glucose transport and escalated protein synthesis activity, while also providing a diverse number of other anti-aging benefits.

It is a fact that growth hormone increases lean body mass (muscle) and decreases bodyfat but as we get older, growth hormone release slows. As it slows, the body experiences a loss of muscle size, strength and density which can lead to health problems.

But there is good news.

A study performed at Rome Medical Clinic V showed Arginine Pyroglutamate (L-Arginine-2-Pyrrolidone-5-Carboxylate) significantly raised Growth Hormone levels when taken orally with L-Lysine HCL. A dosage of 1-2 grams of L-Arginine Pyroglutamate and 1-2 grams of L-Lysine was used. The results were remarkable. Within 90 minutes of administering the combination, gowth hormone levels increased up to 700% above normal levels. Equally amazing was that even 8 hours after this mixture, growth hormone levels were still elevated as much as 300%. Another surprise was that even with daily, year round use, growth hormone elevation was consistent with no undesirable side effects.

What does this mean for the athlete?

Growth hormone increases the rate at which amino acids are picked up and enter the cell for metabolism into protein. This is referred to as anabolism. The more protein available to the uscle cell, the greater the potential for an increase in the size and actual number of cell tissue. Considering the fact that muscle tissue is 80% protein (dry weight), it's easy to see how important protein and the rate it's delivered to cell tissue is to muscle development.

Although growth hormone is released on a 24 hour cycle, the peak points of release are the first few hours of deep sleep (known as R.E.M.), after an intense workout, and upon arising in the morning. Research has shown that proper usage of Somatophen can cause the pituitary gland in the brain to release greater amounts of growth hormone for an extended period of time. The same research shows that increased growth hormone levels directly increase lean body (muscle) while at the same time decrease bodyfat (oxidation of fat tissue). This means a more muscular, leaner body for athletes. Don't be confused by companies advertising Arginine. All of the results above were achieved only with L-Arginine Pyroglutamate with L-Lysine HCL. Arginine by itself showed no significant growth hormone release.

Something so strong that it doesn't just penetrate the muscle cell door; but instead, kicks it down with unmatched amounts of muscle expanding creatine. A product so cutting-edge that it contains a new super-anabolic Glutamine innovation that promotes intense muscle hardening and rapid recovery. A formula so effective that it immediately triggers new levels in size and strength that will alter your body and performance from the very first dose. Prepare your body for CellMass...Redefining creatine as you know it!

CellMass contains the radical breakthrough CEM3 (Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate). The newest "Mass Monster" in Esterified Creatine technology. Your body has never before felt the extreme muscle hardening effects of glutamine and the true mass inducing potential of creatine...until now! No loading, no cycling, no hard to swallow tablets, no sugar, no stomach bloat, no water retention, no up and down old school creatine weight gain.

CellMass a.k.a. "The Post-Workout Mass Activator"

Nothing is more important than saturating your muscles with creatine immediately after your workout. Post-workout creatine supplementation is essential for replacing creatine stores lost during training, speeding recovery, volumizing the muscle cell, increasing muscle density and hardness, and activating a powerful anabolic growth phase. Now imagine a post-workout creatine supplement that not only achieves this better than anything developed to date, but does it so quickly and effectively that it is like throwing gasoline on a fire (your muscles will literally feel like they are exploding before your eyes). Case in point: CellMass!

CellMass contains the latest and most innovative form of creatine ever developed: Creatine-Ethyl-Ester-Malate (or CEM3), Glutamine AKG, and the most powerful sugar free insulinogenic (Cinnulin-PF) ever introduced to the body. CellMass loads up your muscles with unequalled mass inducing nutrients rather than filling up your gut with water and a lot of discomfort.

CellMass begins to stimulate muscle hypertrophy (i.e., an increase in size) and induce a dramatic hardening effect on every muscle fiber in your body; all from the very first dose. No other creatine to date is capable of such a powerful and rapid mass and muscle hardening induction. Now you can sleep at night knowing your body is in the most primed anabolic state imaginable.

CellMass brings closure to your workouts by giving your muscles the most advanced muscle-building nutrients ever developed, which helps them recover, grow, and harden at a supra-physiological rate. In other words, faster than Mother Nature ever intended. CellMass ensures that all your muscle-building bases are entirely covered!

Gaspari Novadex :

2010-02-11T11:11:00.002-05:00

At Gaspari Nutrition, we are constantly researching to find the very best in advanced sports nutrition. We have now found it with new Novedex XT. With its patent-pending formula Dianestrozole, studies show Novedex XT to be significantly better than any of the competition including formestane and 3,6,17-androstenetrione in modulating estrogen levels in the body and increasing natural testosterone levels.

HERE ARE THE REASONS WHY:
Actual studies have shown that the active ingredient, 3,6,17-androstenetrione, found in a popular anti-estrogen testosterone trigger probably converts to the estrogens 6-keto-estrone and 6-keto-estradiol while Dianestrozole can not.

WHY WOULD YOU TAKE AN ANTI-ESTROGEN THAT CONVERTS TO AND ENDS UP AS ANY ESTROGEN?
Unlike formestane (4-hydroxyandrostenedione which converts to 4-hydroxytestosterone in the human body), Novedex XT does NOT have ANY androgenic metabolites that could cause HPTA (Hypothalamic Pituitary Testes Axis) suppression.

WHAT DOES NOVEDEX XT™ CONTAIN THAT IS SO SPECIAL?
The active formula Dianestrozole contains 2 unique anti-aromatase supplements. The first ingredient, 6, 17-keto-etiocholeve-3-ol tetrahydropyranol, is a patent-pending non-androgenic anti-aromatase that utilizes the advanced ether delivery technology. With its' ether attachment, this amazing compound has a prolonged half life in the human body which means you only take it once per day as opposed to many times per day like other anti-estrogens. The second amazing ingredient found in Novedex XT, 3, 17-keto-etiochol-triene, is the single most potent non-androgenic aromatase inhibitor ever sold in the supplement market place! It is almost 3X more potent based on binding times and binding ability (how fast and tight it "sticks" to the target molecule) than 3,6,17-androstenetrione. The combination of a long acting non-androgenic anti-aromatase with the most potent non-androgenic anti-aromatase provides the smarter athlete with a double edge attack against the effects of estrogen and the prevention of estrogen formation. Because Dianestrozole actually minimizes the production of any and all estrogens in the body through its' dual aromatase inhibition systems, this causes a positive effect on the HPTA which means it will actually cause your body to greatly increase testosterone production on it's own, the safest way to naturally cause a positive anabolic effect in order to gain muscle mass, strength, and endurance while helping to lose fat. Additionally, if you happen to be using or have recently used a prohormone or even a "real steroid," Dianestrozole's HPTA upregulating effects will help your body to restore and normalize natural testosterone output and levels in the body and is the perfect LEGAL choice for post-cycle therapy (PCT).

NEW RESEARCH STUDIES UNDERWAY:
Results of our initial clinical trial show Novedex XT increases bioavailable testosterone significantly higher (over 400%) and faster (within 2 weeks) than any other testosterone booster in the supplement industry - and with only a fraction of the dosage used by the leading brand! If this were not enough, the study also revealed that Novedex XT was so effective at combating estrogen that estradiol was slashed an average of more than 50% in all subjects tested in just the 1st week! With this unprecedented 1-2 punch, this product is easily the most effective natural vehicle to trigger a potent anabolic response in order to help gain lean mass, strength and endurance while also helping to reduce body fat.

In an effort to bring you the safest and most effective product possible, the full clinical chemistry panels as part of the pilot study have not only revealed the amazing benefits of Novedex XT, but thus far, results have shown no adverse advents or side effects associated with the product. But we're not stopping there! We are so convinced that Novedex XT is the best product of its kind anywhere, that not one, but two long-term, multi-institutional research studies are underway to show, in great detail, the true potential and safety of this incredible product - including a nearly three month double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial at one of the nation's foremost universities specializing in sports nutrition. Look for the results of this ground-breaking research to be released on our website in the coming months!

The active ingredients in Novedex XT have been conclusively shown to be inherently 100% non-anabolic and 100% non-androgenic by nature - the active ingredients are naturally occuring and are found in normal foodstuffs. Novedex XT is in full compliance in accordance with the United States 1995 DSHEA Act regarding food supplements. However, the use of Novedex XT might cause a positive urine or blood test showing elevated testosterone levels. Athlete's and anyone else subject to performance enhancement substance testing should consult with their sanctioning organization before use. Gaspari Nutrition does not advocate the use of illegal anabolics. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Dianestrazole is a patent pending compound of Therachem, LLC. licensed to Gaspari Nutrition. Novedex XT is a trademark of Gaspari Nutrition, Inc.

MT Aplodan:

2010-02-05T11:50:00.000-05:00

Hailed as one of the most revolutionary bodybuilding supplements in history, Aplodan is going to help you unleash your true anabolic potential by giving you the strength to activate your Dormant Muscle Fibers. Pharmacologically designed to target specific energetic pathways within your body, the Aplodan complex quickly facilitates activation and the results are making scientists all over the world take notice. In a study conducted at the University of Milan, subjects taking the key ingredient in Aplodan experienced a muscle tension threshold limit 83% higher after supplementing for 7 days (1.74 vs. 3.18 mins.). As a result, this overflow of new explosive power floods into your Dormant Muscle Fibers, allowing for previously unattainable growth and strength gains.

With Aplodan, you now have in your hands the key to unlocking strength you never knew you had, and as a result, the ability to trigger more muscle growth than you ever thought possible. But to do it, you must understand the full power of Aplodan and how it tackles the single greatest problem holding you back from getting as big and as strong as possible - untapped dormant muscle fibers. In every bundle of muscle fibers within your body, you have several clusters of muscle fibers that are dormant, and don't materially function or contribute to improving muscle size. During a typical workout, you never actually stress your muscles enough to trigger growth in these dormant muscle fibers. But now, after utilizing years of research including clinical research at the University of Milan, Team MuscleTech has engineered Aplodan - the world's first and only dormant muscle fiber activator that allows you to increase muscle fiber activation by an average of 83%! It's the key to unlocking the potential for new muscle that's been locked away in your body for years!

MT Anabolic Halo:

2010-02-03T11:12:00.002-05:00

*World's most hardcore & anabolic/non-androgenic musclebuilding cycle
*Crushes catabolism. Get one - Get Anabolic!
*Triggers Human Mitochondrial Activity within muscle for peak anabolic response
*Chilling gains in muscle size & strength with cryogenically altered anabolics

What is this thing you're feeling? Its the power of -320 degrees Fahrenheit. Three pharmaceutically inspired, cryogenic technologies never before seen within the realm of bodybuilding supplementation synchronize the muscle manipulating powers of ANABOLIC HALO.

Featuring three SUB-ZERO Technologies - Cryogenic Thermomolecular Technology, Lyophilization and Anabolic Crystallographic Technology - ANABOLIC HALO unleashes the exclusive power of cryo-anabolic molecules.

The first, Cryogenic Thermomolecular Technology, uses mechanically measured blasts of impossibly low-temperature liquid nitrogen, as cold as -320 degrees Fahrenheit, to thermomolecularly enhance a precise portion of one of the most anabolic compounds on the planet.

The second pharmaceutically inspired technology, called Lyophilization, actually changes the physical state of a proprietary dose of an anti-catabolic complex in ANABOLIC HALO. Lyophilization exploits the micro-molecular process of sublimation which is so advanced, it actually forces molecules within a structure to skip matter states and go directly from a solid to a gas.

The third, cryogenic process, called Anabolic Crystallographic Technology, discharges a 180-minute treatment of liquid nitrogen at -150 degrees Fahrenheit on a critical anabolic compound. The resulting molecular structure is unlike anything ever witnessed in bodybuilding!

Multi-Vitamin w/Minerals:

2010-01-26T11:58:00.001-05:00

Multi-Vitamin with Minerals:
*The most complete Multi-Vitamin With Minerals developed
*Blend of 47 vitamins, minerals, and healthful herbs.
*Scientifically formulated to be unmatched in the industry.

The most complete Multi-Vitamin With Minerals ever developed for today’s busy, stressful life. This amazing multimineral and multivitamin is a potent blend of 47 vitamins, minerals, and healthful herbs.

HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral deserved our name for many reasons. Instead of the standard 100% of the daily allowance found in most national brands, bringing no science to their formulas, we have scientifically formulated this to be unmatched in the industry. The recommended daily allowances were established so long ago that for today’s lifestyle they are inadequate. (We have included as much as 2000% of the RDA for vitamin B12 to give our clients more energy.) Business men, women and athletes have different nutritional needs, and HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral is designed specifically for the important nutritional demands of these people.

This high performance multivitamin/mineral dietary supplement is rich in potent antioxidants and supplies demanding muscles with key vitamins and minerals needed to perform optimally under stress conditions.

The bioavailability of the HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral is also “head and shoulders” above the competition. HI-TECH multimineral and multivitamin tablets are specifically designed for safe transport to the small intestine where the vital nutrient absorption takes place. Unlike capsules, the HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral easy to swallow tablets are specially coated to protect the delicate nutrients from being broken down by stomach acids before being fully absorbed. With HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral, you get a multivitamin that works!

Proper intake of optimal levels of vitamins, minerals and herbs is now scientifically supported as natural medicine, fundamental to good health and the prevention of disease. One of the remarkable aspects of HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral is its inclusion of a highly synergistic blend of a rainbow spectrum of antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and expensive herbal extracts. Of primary consideration is the formula’s diversity and high concentration of antioxidants. It is widely recognized now that antioxidants may help to slow the aging process in both the body and the brain.

The HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral formula contains all three of the primary nutrient antioxidants: vitamin C, vitamin E and the carotenoids, both beta-carotene and lutein. Vitamin C is one of the most efficient chain-breaking antioxidants and has been shown to exert a positive effect on LDL (bad cholesterol) concentrations. Vitamin E is the primary chain-breaking antioxidant of lipids and lipoproteins and controls the oxidation of LDL that initiates atherosclerosis. Carotenoids also protect against oxidative stress and are also associated with decreased LDL production, increased protection against cardiovascular disease and immune enhancement. Beta-carotene is the most active of the carotenoids and is a rampant free radical quencher. Lutein, a synergistic compliment to the activity of beta-carotene, is now one of the big “buzz words” in supplementation for its profound role in eye health and repair. Unlike other formulas that either fail to include lutein or do so in an amount less than that demonstrated to be effective, HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral provides nearly twice the amount recommended for optimal eye care.

Additionally, HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral also contains several of the non-nutritive flavonoid antioxidants, including bilberry and quercitin. Bilberry has a unique affinity to protect collagen from oxidation and improves circulation throughout the body. Quercitin is noted for its contribution to countering oxidation processes that affect cardiovascular health. (Another reason for the high concentration of the B complex vitamins in the formula is because many of these B vitamins stimulate enhanced antioxidant (production.) Additional herbal extracts included in the formula are silymarin, turmeric, black cohosh, red clover and hypericin. By tackling increased free radicals due to the liver detoxification process, the powerful flavonoids in the antioxidant Silymarin have a shielding effect on liver cells from toxic substances, including alcohol and recreational drugs, and promote generation of new liver cells. Silymarin also safeguards the pancreas and promotes fat digestion. Turmeric, another potent antioxidant that acts similarly to silymarin, also provides anti-inflammatory and other benefits associated with cardiovascular health and normal cholesterol maintenance. Black Cohosh and red clover aid in maintaining female hormonal balance and contribute to bone health and blood cleansing. Hypericin, the active herbal extract found in St. John’s Wort, has been widely prescribed in Europe for mood elevation.

HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral is formulated to promote muscle recovery and growth, detoxify free radicals to prevent damage of cellular structures throughout the body, ensure balanced nutrition, improve cognitive function, give strength to blood vessels and improve circulation, support normal cholesterol levels and a healthy immune system, boost energy and cellular health, strengthen connective tissue and promote healthy skin, and improve visual performance. In short, HI-TECH Multi-Vitamin/Mineral does it all.

How do protein shakes help build muscle?

2010-01-25T11:00:00.002-05:00

Your body uses protein to build muscle, and as such you want to make sure you can consume enough protein for your body to use. 1 gram per pound of body weight is a good number. Protein shakes help you get that protein, as it's hard to consume that much food in the course of a day for some people.

Also right after your workout, your body needs food to begin rebuilding itself after the damage that was just caused to it. Protein shakes are great here, as whey protein is very fast absorbing. Protein shakes will not make you fat! Protein shakes in skim milk contain less fat that a regular glass of 2% milk! And no... protein isn't a scam, it's one of the few things pretty much everyone agrees on is the most valid supplement out there.

Protein is the building block of our whole body - muscles, tissues, hair, nails, etc - all made up of protein. If you do not have enough protein in your body you can NOT build muscle mass. The body needs to break protein down to amino acids to build muscles. So, no matter how much you work out - if you don't have protein - you will not gain muscle mass.

Another important point to remember is that every time you work out you are tearing down muscles and then rebuilding them. Protein is necessary to repair and rebuild your muscles.
