Bodybuildings Ultra Premium Grade Supplements

Mucuna
popular bodybuilding supplement known as Mucuna pruriens is used by many to improve dopamine release (a feel-good hormone), increase libido and sexual desire, and increase growth hormone output allowing for faster recovery from hard training. Perhaps less known and more recently discovered is the ability of Mucuna pruriens to modulate carb uptake and utilization. More specifically, a study was conducted to determine the effects of several natural products on the alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase enzymes (Gulati V, 2012). These enzymes convert starches to glucose in your saliva and intestines. Therefore inhibiting them can essentially reduce the breakdown of starches and you are more likely to clear them from your body rather than store them as fat. It also keeps blood glucose levels lower, promoting greater insulin sensitivity. The scientists completed an in vitro analysis to determine the effectiveness of Mucuna pruriens as an alpha-amylase and alpha-

Pruriens
glucosidase enzyme inhibitor. While Mucuna pruriens was found to be a less effective inhibitor than the drug Acarbose, it still showed alpha-amylase inhibitory activity. And compared to Acarbose, it was actually more effective at inhibiting the alpha glucosidase enzyme. This suggests Mucuna pruriens may not only provide the original benefits listed but also act to a degree as a carb blocker, making it an even more effective supplement for those on low carb diets or who are trying to minimize carbohydrates during a fat loss stage.

Fish

Oil

ecent evidence indicates that taking fish oil to reduce inflammation may sharpen your mind as well. In a recent

May Improve Memory and Health


study, when middle-aged to older men were given a daily fish oil, a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, versus a placebo, the researchers discovered that memory and several markers of health were improved (Nilsson, Radeborg et al. 2012). Currently, fish oils have become extremely popular for a number of different reasons. Exercising individuals often take fish oil to help control how much inflammation is produced inside the body and to support recovery. More so, a great bit of research also indicates that daily fish oil may provide valuable support for things like your glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol levels. The current study had the research participants consume three grams of fish oil per day, which provided 1,500 mg of EPA, 1,050 mg DHA and 450 mg of unspecified oils. This dosing was provided on a daily basis for a total of five weeks. Each participant then stopped taking anything and returned to their normal dietary and exercise lifestyle.

Another test group took a placebo. To help further eliminate any bias, the order in which the two supplements were given to all of the participants was alternated. Before and after each supplementation period, blood was drawn for determination of several markers of health and a working memory test evaluating several fundamental abilities of higher-level cognitive processes was administered to each person. After supplementation with the fish oils, performance on the working memory test was significantly greater in comparison to performance after the placebo was taken. Supplementation with the fish oils also significantly decreased the levels of fat found in the blood (aka, triglycerides) and fish oil supplementation was also found to lower systolic blood pressure, a commonly accepted marker of health. In summary, fish oils are an extremely popular supplement consideration for their ability to assist with recovery from exercise and findings from a recently published study also provides further support for their ability to help control blood levels of markers of health and may also help to improve your memory.

T e s to s t e r o n e

ncreasing how your body responds to exercise training is like a chess match. You must balance factors related to your recovery, exercise bouts and nutrition to arrive in a situation that can facilitate positive improvements in how your body responds. For years, changes in testosterone and other hormones have been studied for their ability to impact changes in muscle. Researchers have clearly shown that various types of exercise, in particular resistance exercise, can favorably impact changes in testosterone and other hormones. When testosterone is increased in conjunction with resistance exercise, improvements in strength, and muscle mass result; other changes include increases in the androgen receptor, a key intracellular component linked to the expression of a number of genes found in muscle linked to strength and muscle changes. Increased expression of genes = increased components to build certain proteins = increased ability to develop strength and promote recovery. Identifying optimal programs of exercise that maximize the increases in the androgen receptor would aid in promoting the expression of a number of genes which will positively impact many areas related to how your body responds to resistance exercise. Researchers from the University of Connecticut conducted an examination to accomplish this exact task (Spiering, Kraemer et al. 2009). In both situations, the researchers had young healthy males perform an intense bout of leg extension exercise (5 sets of 5 maximal repetitions with 3 minutes of rest). Previous studies had indicated that resistance exercise which is low volume and is combined with long periods of rest exert little to no impact on changes in testosterone. This is one of the many reasons why exercise bouts constructed in a more intense manner are said to be better for improving strength vs. promoting hypertrophy. In one study condition, the participants came into the lab and performed no exercise prior to completing the lower-body workout explained previously. The second study condition, however, had the participants first complete a high-volume, upper-body resistance workout

with little to no rest between each set and exercise before completing the lower-body workout. In this second condition, the upper-body workout successfully increased blood levels of testosterone prior to completing the lower-body workout. In other

Increased Levels When Working Out and the Positive Changes It Can Bring
words, one condition resulted in the leg workout being completed with low levels of testosterone before the workout began and in the other condition, the lower body workout began and was completed with elevated levels of testosterone. This allowed the researchers to ask and answer the question, Do elevated levels of testosterone favorably promote adaptations inside the muscle? Besides measuring testosterone levels in the blood, muscle biopsies were collected before, 10 minutes after completion of the lower body exer-

cise bout and three hours after the lower body exercise bout. Changes in the androgen receptor, an important receptor found in muscle that testosterone binds to and causes the expression of a number of favorable genes related to positive strength and muscle changes, were analyzed in each of the collected muscle samples. The authors determined that when a lower-body exercise bout was completed in an environment with elevated levels of testosterone (when the high-volume, low rest upper-body exercise session was completed beforehand) the content of the androgen receptor was not decreased after three hours. In comparison, when no exercise was completed beforehand, the content of the androgen receptor was decreased. The authors concluded that creating an environment that maximizes the interaction of testosterone with its receptor, the androgen receptor, will favorably impact muscle anabolism and recovery. Thus it appears that structuring your workout to improve muscle anabolism and recovery are two chess pieces worth moving where you want to move them.

Beta

Alanine
could maintain 70 rpms. Once they were no longer able to do this, researchers would record VO2 max, the time to exhaustion, and then draw blood samples to determine lactate levels. The results were significant. First the beta alanine group experienced significant increases in VO2 max, time to exhaustion, and had reduced blood lactate levels compared to placebo. More importantly the beta alanine group performed better on the test than the placebo group. We can now confidently say that beta alanines ability to increase workout performance is well established.

Ghiasvand R, A. G. (2012). Effects of Six Weeks of -alanine Administration on VO(2) max, Time to Exhaustion and Lactate Concentrations in Physical Education Students. Int J Prev Med. , 3 (8), 559-63.

f youre not already taking beta alanine, then you are missing out. As if the existing research was not compelling enough, a new study supplementing beta alanine in athletic 21 year olds (average age) should further convince you of its efficacy (Ghiasvand R, 2012). Beta alanine is critical to the synthesis of muscle carnosine, which plays a critical role in pH buffering to prevent muscle acidosis, so you can exercise longer and harder. The latest research published in the International Journal of Preventative Medicine utilized two groups of regularly exercising males. They gave one group 400 mgs of beta alanine capsules 5 times per day (or 2 grams per day). The other group received a capsule filled with an equivalent amount of sugar (placebo group). They measured VO2 max, how long it took before

being exhausted from exercise, and blood lactate concentrations before and after 6 weeks of daily supplementation. They made sure the participants were not using any

Increases Endurance
other supplements, and that both groups had similar diets before both testing periods. To determine VO2 max, and time to exhaustion, both groups completed a stationary bike test that had computer controlled braking. Every two minutes the bike would brake slightly harder, making pedaling harder (imagine riding a bike up a hill that gets steeper the higher you go). This would go on for as long as the participant

e have said this before, and we will say it again, but studies that use real world application of supplements are far and above all others when determining actual results. And now beta

Knocks Out Fatigue


alanine has a very applicable piece of science that supports its use in boxers, MMA fighters, and anyone who competes in combat related sports. The latest study on beta-alanine by UK researchers utilized sixteen competing amateur boxers to test their hypothesis (Donovan T, 2012). They split them into two groups. One group received beta alanine at a dose of 1.5 grams, 4 times per day (6 grams per day) for 4 weeks. The other received identical capsules (and weight) as a placebo. They simulated an amateur boxing match before and after

supplementation for each group. The simulation consisted of 3 rounds of boxing, lasting 3 minutes, followed by 1 minute of rest and repeating. They were told to use a standard punching combination for 2 minutes and 50 seconds, and in the last 10 seconds of each round to perform a maximum punching effort. The researchers measured blood lactate levels, heart rate, punch force, total punches, and accumulative punch force. The beta alanine group had similar heart rates compared to placebo. The beta-alanine group also had significantly higher blood lactate levels. Sounds bad, right? Well its not; in fact it makes perfect sense when you examine the differences in punching performance between the two groups. The beta alanine group had greater punching force, threw more punches, and thus a greater total accumulative punch force. In fact, the authors note an approximate increase of 20 kgs of punch force! The beta-alanine group also threw an additional 5 punches in the final 10 seconds of the three rounds. The simple fact that the beta-alanine group was doing more work is a reasonable explanation for greater blood lactate levels. This is significant because beta alanine does not increase weight, whereas a supplement like creatine does, which can make hitting a specified weight class difficult for boxers. In other words, beta alanine significantly improved real world performance of boxers.

Pre-Workout
s more science becomes available on single key ingredients such as caffeine, creatine, and beta-alanine, all commonly included ingredients in pre-workout drinks, less research exists examining the impact of combining them. To provide this evidence, researchers from the United States Sport Academy in Daphne, AL required twelve recreationally trained males to participate in a 3-week research study (Spradley, Crowley et al. 2012). Each participant was required to report to the laboratory on three different occasions where they ingested either a pre-workout drink or a placebo while completing a battery of exercise tasks to determine changes in reaction time, upper- and lower-body strength and endurance as well as maximal aerobic capacity. All participants were exposed to both placebo and active conditions in a crossover design and the testing battery began approximately 20 minutes after they ingested the drink. This exhaustive battery of testing provided a number of important outcomes relative to mental and physical performance. On the mental side of things, the pre-workout supplement increased levels of perceived energy, alertness and focus providing some initial indications that the ingredients aided in cognitive processes. Further support for improved cognitive processing was found with an improvement in the performance of choice reaction tests involving single-step movements as well as multi-direction movements for both 15 and 30 seconds. Finally, when the pre-workout supplement was consumed, a significantly greater number of repetitions were completed using the leg press exercise in comparison to when a placebo was consumed. In another study, researchers from The College of New Jersey tried to determine the impact of acutely ingesting a single dose of a pre-workout drink (Hoffman, Kang et al. 2009). For this study, the authors required twelve college-aged recreationally trained male individuals to complete a battery of exercise tasks as well as rate how they felt relative to attention, focus, energy, etc. This study was unique because it used a study approach to more specifically examine the impact of the energy drink on changes in alertness and focus while participating in a simulated exercise protocol that mimicked boxing or combative style exercise. This uniquely developed exercise challenge required the athletes to respond to illuminating lights and strike them as quickly and accurately as possible. In addition, the research participants completed a cycling sprint test that was intended to fully challenge their ability to maximally perform in a short, intense manner. To more closely mimic the challenges of this type of exercise, the study participants completed each of these exercise tasks three times with a ten minute break between each round of testing. The results of the first test indicated that ingestion of a single dose of a pre-workout energy drink containing a blend of ingredients that were formulated to stimulate the body and create a heightened level of awareness significantly improved feelings of energy and focus prior to each of the three rounds of exercise. Alertness levels also increased, but they did not reach statistically significant levels. Throughout the intense cycling tests, no increases in anaerobic cycling performance were realized. In the second

Formulas
test, improved reaction and striking performance throughout the simulated exercise tests was realized whereby a significantly higher average number of targets were successfully struck. Similarly, a significantly higher percentage of available targets were struck when the pre-workout energy drink was consumed before completing these exercise tasks when compared to when a placebo was ingested. Recent interest in the pre-workout time period has resulted in a number of formulations containing various ingredients (e.g., caffeine, beta-alanine, creatine) that individually have been shown to have a beneficial impact on many different types of exercise. Results from these recent studies tell us that this combination of ingredients exerts positive outcomes related to both cognitive and physical measures. In particular, these results provide evidence that consuming similar combinations of ingredients can improve many different aspects of performance.

reatine monohydrate is one of the most popular ergogenic aids in a bodybuilders arsenal. One outcome of this popularity is an upsurge in product launches of alternative forms of creatine, many of which have been touted to be superior in some way. One of those forms of creatine is known as Kre-Alkalyn, which claims to be a buffered form of creatine with superior pharmacokinetics (how well its digested and absorbed). It even claims that the standard 5-gram/day dose is not needed because of its superiority. Instead only 1.5 grams per day is required. Because of this they also claim side effects like bloat will be drastically reduced. Is this all true? To find out, researchers from Texas A&M tested both supplements head to head (Jagim AR, 2012). They formed three randomized groups of young healthy weight training males. One group received creatine monohydrate (20 grams/day for 7 days, followed by 5 grams/ day for 21 days), another Kre-Alkalyn (20

grams/day for 7 days, followed by 5 grams/ day for 21 days), and a third Kre-Alkalyn at the manufacturers recommended dose (1.5 grams/day). They created several controls such as diet and dose monitoring and compli-

Better or Worse Than Creatine Monohydrate?


ance. They took several measurements at Day 0, 7, and Day 28 including muscle biopsies, and blood samples. They also took 1 Rep Max measurements on the leg and bench press at Day 0 and 28. The results were surprisingto Kre-Alkalyn manufacturers. Why? By analyzing the muscle biopsies for muscle creatine content they found significantly greater creatine in

the monohydrate group vs. both Kre-Alkalyn groups. They also found that (although not statistically significant), the creatine monohydrate group increased their 1 RM bench press approximately 4.5 kilograms, vs. the Kre-Alkalyn groups which increased 1 RM bench press by 3.22 kilograms (low dose), and 3.3 kilograms (high dose). In conclusion the authors go on to say that there is no evidence to support KreAlkalyn is any more effective than standard creatine monohydrate at increasing muscle creatine and improving weight training. In fact, a contrary result was indicated. So now we know that at least one special form of creatine doesnt live up to the hype.

hite Kidney Bean extract has been associated with physique improvement for quite a while. And the latest research suggests that wont be changing. The British Journal of Nutrition recently published a paper about a study that attempted to find out the exact mechanisms of White Kidney Bean Extract. Previous research suggests it may work by inhibiting an enzyme known as alpha-amylase (Barrett ML, 2011). Alpha-amylase works by breaking down ingested carbohydrates so we can use or store them as a fuel source for energy. When you inhibit alpha-amylase, fewer carbohydrates are stored and thus weight and fat loss can occur.

The most recent paper specifically tested the extract in young healthy male and female participants (Spadafranca A, 2012). They gave them all a standard meal containing 60% carbohydrate, 25% fat, 15% protein, which included 10 grams of fiber. The total calories varied slightly from each individual but were controlled to account for 40% of each persons total daily caloric expenditure. They also measured glucose, insulin, and each persons desire to eat, as well as blood ghrelin, which is a hormone the body secretes to tell you its hungry. After feeding the participants their standardized meal they found that glucose was significantly lower in the extractsupplemented group vs. placebo 30 minutes after the meal. This suggests white kidney bean was in fact inhibiting alphaamylase. Ghrelin was not changed between the two groups until the third hour after the meal. In the third hour ghrelin was significantly lower in the white kidney bean group. This suggests those in the supplement group would be far less hungry 3 hours after a meal. This suggests that White Kidney Bean extract has a two-pronged attack on weight and fat loss. First it reduces the amount of carbohydrates your body absorbs, and second, it reduces your appetite. Together this makes it one supplement that can be very effective at helping you reduce your calories during a diet phase.

Micellar Casein

ow many times have you heard that: 1) consuming protein before you go to sleep will aid in your recovery and 2) that casein protein would be particularly helpful during this time because of its ability to digest more slowly than whey protein? Finally, scientific researchers have attempted to examine this suggestion and the results are quite interesting. Remember that not all casein protein is made equally and micellar casein is the most important as it is what researchers have used to document the favorable benefits of this type of protein. Sixteen healthy young men completed this study and completed a single bout of resistance exercise on two different occasions. In both situations, the exercise bout was completed during an evening time (approximately 8:00pm) after following the same diet for the entire day. Upon completion of the exercise bout, all participants were given identical recovery nutrition which consisted of 20 grams of protein and 60

grams of carbohydrate immediately after they completed the exercise to align with current nutrient content and timing guidelines. Then, 30 minutes prior to falling asleep at approximately 11:30pm, subjects were divided into two groups and given a beverage that either contained no protein (the placebo group)

levels of many different amino acids. Equally important, these increased blood levels were effectively maintained throughout the course of the night suggesting that the slow digestion of casein effectively primed the various sources of body protein for growth and recovery. When compared to the placebo, mus-

or 40 grams of micellar casein. Blood and muscle samples were collected over the course of the evening to determine protein digestion and absorption rates. In addition, these measures also provided assessments of overall protein balance (protein gained in the body vs. protein lost in the body) and muscle protein synthesis throughout a 7.5 hour nighttime sleep period. During sleep, the ingested casein protein was appropriately digested and absorbed by the body, which led to rapid and significant increases in blood cle protein synthesis rates were around 22% higher; a value that very nearly reached statistical significance (p=0.05). In conclusion, this might be the only study to specifically investigate the suggestion that ingestion of slow-digesting micellar casein may favorably stimulate changes to the exercised muscle. Findings from this study strongly support the ability of casein ingestion shortly before falling asleep to be effectively digested and absorbed resulting in a long and

pronounced increased in amino acids found in the blood. When translated to exercised muscle, casein ingestion before bed led to an impressive increase in the growth of muscle protein.

Curcumin

In simpler terms, they measured the impact of curcumin on cholesterol (too high is bad of course), heart and cardiovascular health, nervous system stress, brain aging, and liver health. In other words they hit most of the major organs that suffer from aging and poor health. lowered sICAM. Together these improvements suggest curcumin can improve heart health, reduce blood pressure, and prevent arterial plaque build up. They also found reduced nervous system stress vs. the placebo group, and lowered plasma beta amyloid protein, which suggests greater brain health. Finally, ALT values were decreased, indicating less stress on the liver. This research finally suggests that curcumin does in fact have benefits in healthy bodybuilders!

urcumin is a popular component of the spice turmeric. There are literally hundreds of published research papers discussing the various benefits of curcumin and turmeric consumption. While a lot of the research is focused in animals, or in people with existing ailments, more recently scientists at Ohio State University attempted to find out how exactly curcumin benefits healthy people (Disilvestro RA, 2012). They gave both men and women a 500mg curcumin root capsule that contained 80mgs of curcumin, each day, for 4 weeks total. They measured a variety of health biomarkers in saliva and blood. These included triglyceride levels, plasma nitric oxide, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM), salivary amylase activity, beta amyloid protein, and plasma alanine amino transferase (ALT).

This advanced anabolic action is further fortified with a third component. Patent pending Leuvon 590 (Leucine-Bound Leucine Peptides (LBLP), is a process exclusive to Glanbia thats essential to switching on anabolism. Leucine directly activates a critical compound in muscle that functions like a molecular switch to turn on the protein synthesis. And NytroWhey Ultra Elite contains up to four times the leucine found in other whey protein products and delivers in a specialized ultra bioavailable form. In addition to its extraordinary protein profile, NytroWhey Ultra Elite contains the scientifically proven digestive enzyme complex, Aminogen, for even greater protein utilization.

ellucors approach to the diet support category is a simple yet seemingly effective concept. Combine four of the most popular non-stimulant ingredients into one quality formula. This is the idea behind new CLK. The four compounds are CLA (1700 mg), raspberry ketones (100 mg), 7-Keto (100 mg) and carnitine (500 mg). Each of these has solid science behind them and offer the user a legitimate path to diet support, without stimulants. The ingredient amounts are potent enough compared to clinical data and should effectively help deliver results. Its benefits are twofold. CLK can be taken separately or also as a complement to those choosing to include a thermogenic in their regimen. Overall, this formulation makes a good deal of sense and appears to be a viable alternative to stimulant-induced diet support.

NEW PRODUCT SHOWCASE

Making His Mark


by Harry Fessel
ProSource Website Editor / Senior Writer

Movie Star & Entrepreneur Mark Wahlberg Talks Workouts, Diet, His New Bodybuilder Comedy, and His MARKED Nutrition Line
part as an amateur bodybuilder ensnared in a screwball extortion plot. Wahlberg had to put on almost fifty pounds (tipping the scales at 212), and, most dauntingly, it had to be all muscle. He was playing a bodybuilder, not some fat guy. Thats a transformation that takes many experienced athletes a year or more to make (if they make it at all). And then in 2 Guns, Mark had to strip all that weight off again, while retaining muscle mass, to embody the role of an elite Navy SEAL. Of course, while he was succeeding at all of this, he was also wearing the hat of executive producer (HBOs Boardwalk Empire) and entrepreneur (he has a new line of health and wellness supplements out, bearing his own Marked Nutrition brand). Clearly, Mark Wahlberg is a man on the go. He took some time off recently, however, to sit down with us at ProSource to talk about Pain & Gain, his new supplement line, his plans for the future, and to offer some advice to athletes and actors who look to follow in his footsteps. in the middle of the night and eat another meal. Big breakfast, pre-workout drink, hit the weights every day for 40 minutes to an hour, and then it was all about eating. Eating, where Id have a huge meal and a mass gainer shake on top of that. I had to gain a lot of weight, and I wasnt necessarily ripped either, because of the way the storyline in Pain & Gain progresses, with the characters training rigorously in the beginning and then not so much as their lives start to unravel. So the characters were these bulked-up guys who maybe didnt do the cutting up phase that would have come next, you know? When I moved to LA, I spent a lot of time at Golds Gym in Venice. So I was around a lot of bodybuilders and seeing how they would train. About six weeks before a show, theyd start leaning down and getting ripped, changing their workout and

o you think you have what it takes to be a movie star? Do you take pride in a bodybuilding regimen that you believe is rugged beyond belief? Then a day in the life of Mark Wahlberg might prove to be an eye-opening experience for you. Mark has always been famed for his rock-hard abs and muscular physique, but sometimes a day on the set of the next blockbuster action movie requires more than a sturdy six-pack and a lean silhouette. Take Wahlbergs recent film work for example. In the space of several months, he worked on Broken City, a crime drama with Russell Crowe, then Pain & Gain, a Michael Bay dark comedy with Dwayne The Rock Johnson, and finally 2 Guns, a Navy SEAL action picture with Denzel Washington. Thats a lot of work for anybody, but in terms of sheer physical alteration, it posed an enormous challenge for Wahlberg. For Broken City, he had to play the part of an ex-cop and investigator, lean to the point of being very thin at 165 pounds. Several weeks later, he was on the set of Pain & Gain, acting a comedic

ProSource: Hey, Mark. Thanks for joining us. Theres a lot of interest in your new movie Pain & Gain among our customers here at ProSource! What was it like working with Dwayne The Rock Johnson? Mark Wahlberg: Working with The Rock was just incredible. I worked with him in The Other Guys in 2010, but we didnt have a lot of scenes together. This time, with Pain & Gain, we were in the whole movie together. Hes a talented guy. In fact, were trying to get together on another project right now. I cant say anything about it. Not until we close it up. ProSource: How much heavy lifting did you have to do for the movie? Mark Wahlberg: Oh gosh, a lot! Ive done four films this year and all of them 24

have required that I look extremely different. I had to get as thin and ripped as possible for Broken City. I was 165 pounds for that. Then for Pain & Gain, I had to get up to 212 pounds. And then I had to lose all that weight for 2 Guns, a movie Im doing with Denzel Washington. ProSource: When people think of the Mark Wahlberg physiquegoing back to your Calvin Klein daysthey think of you as very lean and hard. To play a hardcore bodybuilder in Pain & Gain, how did you add all that weight and muscle mass in such a short time? Mark Wahlberg: For Pain & Gain, I was lifting constantly, and eating ten to twelve meals a day. It was fun for the first couple of weeks, but then it started getting a little hectic. Youre tired from working all day, and then you have to wake up

25

their diet. So Rock and I were in the kind of head space where we were just trying to get as big as possible. ProSource: Thats going to be a startling experience for the viewers of Pain & Gain, seeing you that big. 212 pounds. And now that weights all gone. Howd you do that? Mark Wahlberg: After the shoot was over, I immediately started playing basketball every day to lose the weight for my next film, 2 Guns. I play a Navy SEAL in that one, so I had to get back down to my typical weight without stripping off muscle mass. I played a lot of basketball. ProSource: And clearly your diet changed. Can you briefly describe your approach to diet? Are there foods you emphasize over others? Foods you try to avoid? Mark Wahlberg: I usually eat pretty clean. Although right now, for whatever reason, Im having a chocolate chip cookie craving every day right after lunch. Usually though, its a high-protein, low-carb thing I do. At my age now, my metabolism isnt as fast as it once was. I usually eat six meals a day, three regular meals and three snacks. If Im at home, I have this prepared-meal program which is oriented around your physique goals, losing weight, adding muscle. So basically, Im eating every three hours. ProSource: Whats your workout strategy for maintaining such a high degree of fat-loss? Do you do a lot of cardio? Whats your workout regimen like?

For Pain & Gain, The Rock and I were in this head space where we were just trying to get as big as possible.

Mark Wahlberg: I dont like to run. Running, treadmills, that stuff, I dont do much if I can avoid it. I play a lot of basketball, I do some boxing, rope skipping. Thats how I stay lean. Thats what works for me. As for weight training, I do three days on, one day off. I do pretty much a full-body workout, but Ill rotate one body part where Ill go really heavy, bench really heavy, squat, whatever. Really maxing out. When I was training in Miami for Pain & Gain, I was literally doing the entire circuit every day. Especially in Miami, the emphasis was on heavier weights and fewer reps, although I would still try to get in as many reps as possible. On the bench, for example, Id do one rep at 185, go up to 225 for one rep, then go right to 315, then go to 335 for one rep. Then Id move down to 285, do five reps or so, then 15 reps at 225, then finally back to 185, doing as many reps as possible. And then lunges and squatting and on from there. At the very end, Id do pull-ups and try to get as many as I possibly could. ProSource: Wow. How many? Mark Wahlberg: Thirty pull-ups or so. ProSource: Thats great. Our readers definitely would want to know what you can bench press, and now we know. Youre launching your own line of

26

supplements, Marked Nutrition. How involved were you with the fundamentals of the line? Can you sum up your philosophy about nutritional supplements and achieving athletic and physique goals? Mark Wahlberg: I was involved a lot. People have asked me to endorse particular products and I dont do that sort of thing. I always wanted to be in the health and wellness business and Marked Nutrition seemed like a great way to start. Hopefully, one day Ill be opening gyms, especially in the inner cities. There are so many people that dont have access to gyms or cant afford it, so opening gyms in the inner cities is my ultimate goal. Having places where people can learn about nutrition and exercise is crucial. Once you start exercising, you start feeling better and you can just do so much more in life. I want to create spaces where everybody will be able to do that. ProSource: Can we ask, in terms of your product line, Marked Nutrition, why did you choose ProSource to help launch your supplements on-line? Mark Wahlberg: Ive been using protein bars and powder from you guys for quite awhile now and thats worked out re-

ally well. ProSource is a stand-up group of guys who have the athletes best interest in mind and that means a lot to me, so the decision to work with you was an easy one. ProSource: Our customers are looking forward to trying the new Marked Nutrition products, I know. And Pain & Gain is tailor-made for the ProSource customer. Hollywood should make more bodybuilder action drama/comedies! Mark Wahlberg: Im really excited for it to come out. Ive seen Pain & Gain and its a great film. Everyone whos involved with it is expecting good things. ProSource: Our readers are also big fans of Entourage, a show that is said to be based largely on your early experiences in Hollywood. Can I ask, how much of Vincent Chase is in Mark Wahlberg? Mark Wahlberg: When we first cast Entourage, we were looking for guys like me, guys who were very physical, and it just wasnt working. When we sat back and thought about it, we realized we needed a guy who was believable as a movie star, whether he was a good-looking guy or rugged or whatever. Usually, though, when youre looking for that guy, a Leonardo DiCaprio kind of guy, hes already a movie star. We got that guy finally, a guy who people would buy as a star. To the extent that there are any similarities, the essence of it is present in who my guys were, my group, and how it was for us being in and around Hollywood at that time.

ProSource: Your life story is a narrative of achieving very high goals from very humble beginnings. Our readers come to ProSource.net because theyve set goals for themselves that theyre trying to achieve. If you could share one piece of advice with our readers about overcoming obstacles on the way to success, what would it be? Mark Wahlberg: I would say that if you want something the only way youre going to get it is by going out and making it happen. And by doing that the honest way, by putting in the work. Heres a story. Two older, famous movie-star guys saw a picture of me when I was in the middle of training for Pain & Gain. So they said, Oh, hes definitely on the roids, right? And I got very, very upset by that, because I put so much effort and time into getting in shape like this, and I would never take a short cut like that, you know? I wouldnt risk the side effects, either. And I said to them, I wont say any names here, but I said to them, I will pee in a cup right now, but once that test comes back negative, you will have to drink it. But anyway, thats how I feel. You have to go out there and work hard at the things you want. Start eating and exercising and youre going to start feeling good about yourself. The physical things you thought you couldnt do, youre going to realize you can do them. Its an amazing thing. ProSource: One more question. Our customers want to know! Whos in better shape: you or Rock? Mark Wahlberg: Dude, The Rock is gigantic. Just gigantic. He doesnt fluctuate, though. He cant go out and play a guy whos, you know, a buckfifty-five. So Ive got that versatility, but The Rock is unbeatable. Just huge. ProSource: Mark, thanks for sharing with our readers. Well be looking forward to seeing you in Pain & Gain and featuring your new Marked Nutrition line.

BODYBUILDINGS

PRE-WORKOUT
FORMULAS

TOP

Why they are the best and which one has the most upside in this essential category
rom the millions of dollars and endless hours scientists have spent in the laboratory, one thing is certainsupplement research and development has progressed further and with greater and more efficacious product offerings than ever before. The Pre-Workout category is a stunning example of this and is one to pay particular attention to given the great impact these products can have on maximizing physique development. To learn more, we weigh in on what many consider to be the Top 5 pre-workout supplements, because most bodybuilders now realize that this key category just might be the most essential to achieving your mass gain goals. After reviewing all the facts, these 5 entries represent a solid cross-section of higher quality pre-workouts, with the newest entry appearing to take the category to an entirely new level. New AndroFury is a highly innovative, pre-workout formulation that features an extremely potent and ultra fast-acting testosterone boosting complex that precisely targets the very core of our physical and mental drive for a workout experience that is truly unprecedented. This fact alone makes AndroFury the most formidable new entry to hit this category to date. Bodybuilders take note: New AndroFury is the worlds first Testosterone Charged pre-workout product. Our preliminary trials with this remarkable formula had our test team literally feeling supercharged unlike anything theyve ever experienced before. And that says a lot, given the fact that these guys have used virtually every pre-workout product on the market. Of course, the 4 other products in this review have been around for awhile and are well known to deliver solid results. With that, we have evaluated each of these 5 formulas ingredient by ingredient so you can see how they stack up to each other and better understand the strengths and weaknesses of each. Speaking of weaknesses, the one thing that we unfortunately see all too often in the pre-workout category is that many manufacturers use an everything but the kitchen sink type strategy to formulation. There are a number of problems with this approach but first to come to mind is the fact that they typically contain completely meaningless levels of the good ingredients listed, and therefore, provide virtually no ergogenic benefit whatsoever. In short, this type of practice is nothing more than a marketing ploy (not even a clever one) that is an insult to more savvy consumers. One of the purposes of this article is to help people navigate around such bogus products. Within this review, weve focused on legitimate products that provide at least a number of key ingredients at efficacious levels. Some of these products are not perfect but each of them is formulated to deliver some level of real world performance enhancement. As one would expect, some of the ingredients highlighted are core compounds found in most pre-workout formulas, so there is some repetition, but on the other hand, there are enough variances between each to provide solid differentiations. Although we call this review a Top 5, their order of appearance does not imply a ranking. Here they are, stripped bare for your review and comparison.

Jack3d Micro USP

Jack3d Micro apparently for its stimulant properties and potential effects on beta-1 and beta-2 receptors, which may elevate heart rate and dilate the bronchioles and blood vessels.

Labs latest addition to the pre-workout category follows on the success of its popular original product, Jack3d. The biggest departure between the two seems to be that Jack3d Micro contains less stimulant content than the original, including no DMAA (a controversial and possibly soon-to-be banned substance), but does retain the vasodilation attributes. Like the original, however, it remains a fairly simple blend with a revised focus toward pumps and sustained, smoother energy rather than the higher stimulant content of its predecessor. Here are the key ingredients that make Jack3d Micro a top 5 pre-workout supplement.

3,4-Dihydroxycinnamic Acid
Also known as caffeic acid, this hard to pronounce compound is unrelated to caffeine and is not a stimulant. However, it is a potent antioxidant that is primarily found in fruits and coffee. Although there is little scientifically known about its effects in exercising humans, recent research has shown that, through its robust antioxidant capacity, it may help to reduce exercise fatigue.

L-Citrullune
This amino acid also helps prevent muscle fatigue, as it assists in production of energy by increasing the rate of phosphocreatine and ATP production. Citrulline converts to arginine (a precursor to nitric oxide) in the body and optimizes blood and nutrient delivery to working muscles.

Arginine Nitrate
Like most arginine supplements, this compound aims at increasing vasodilating nitric oxide (NO) levels in the blood to provide greater blood flow, nutrient delivery and metabolite removal to working muscles. The obvious difference between arginine nitrate and other arginine supplements is the nitrate component, which may serve as a source for supplemental nitrate to the body. Increasing blood nitrates has been shown to cause significant increases in NO through the nitrate-nitrite NO pathway.

Caffeine
Several lines of evidence demonstrate that caffeine ingested before a workout increases anaerobic strength. For example, a study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning illustrated that consuming caffeine one hour before training increased bench press 1RM strength better than a placebo. As a well-documented central nervous system (CNS) stimulant, caffeine has profound positive effects on energy and focus. Studies have indicated that caffeine dampens perceived exertion during and after exercise. Caffeine anhydrous has been noted as the most reliable and effective form for supplementation. Based on the total dose of their stimulant blend (182 mg), the caffeine potency in this product appears to be relatively low.

Norcoclaurine HCL
This extract of the Aconiti tuber plant is also known as higenamine. It is commonly used as a tonic for the cardiovascular system in traditional Chinese medicine. USP Labs included this compound in

AndroFury
A
ndroFury is BioQuests latest entry into the pre-workout supplement arena and stands as one of the best and most unique pre-workout formulas to date. Like all products from this company, it is clear that a lot of thought and detailed scientific investigation went into AndroFury, as each research-backed key ingredient is formulated at optimal clinical-strength levels. Here is an in-depth breakdown of the key biological mechanisms that make AndroFury stand out as perhaps the most innovative and effective product of its kind on the market.

the BioQuest product engineers have taken things much further with a number of equally important mechanisms.

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT)


Human studies show that LCLT supplementation augments LH release (a stimulus for greater testosterone production) and upregulates androgen (testosterone) receptor content in skeletal muscle of resistance-trained men. This dual effect of LCLT enables greater testosterone/androgen receptor interactions in trained muscle, thus amplifying traininginduced anabolism. In other words, this specific form of L-Carnitine can help to build more muscle mass by making endogenous testosterone in the body more biologically active. In support of this, a complimentary study by the same research group showed

Science-backed Testosterone Support


Promoting an anabolic environment is key to muscle building, which is best achieved by optimizing testosterone levels. To this end, BioQuest has included two highly specialized key ingredients, both well known to enhance testosterone levels as well as increase its biological effectiveness in skeletal muscle. Beyond just switching on anabolism, ensuring your testosterone levels are maximized before you train promotes much more aggressive and intense workouts for greater muscular growth. This is precisely one of the reasons that bodybuilders that use synthetic testosterone (i.e. anabolic steroids) tear it up in the gym with noticeably greater levels of intensity, and even greater overall strength and power. By targeting the most effective means of naturally enhancing testosterone levels, BioQuest has achieved what may well be the most profound advancement to realworld efficacy in this category. In other words, this is a truly scientific based innovation that produces undeniable effectiveness in the training intensity that is the very key to muscle development and growth.

improve muscle function and performance through its ability to buffer skeletal muscle pH (acidity) during high intensity/fatiguing exercise. Since one of the primary causes of fatigue during exercise is metabolically mediated decreases in pH (or acidosis), then it follows why increased intramuscular carnosine levels would be beneficial to bodybuilders. Muscle carnosine also acts as a potent antioxidant and metal chelator. As such, through these effects, high carnosine levels can prolong neuromuscular excitationcontraction coupling, enabling greater muscle force production during long workouts. In resistance-trained men, 4 weeks of beta-alanine supplementation led to a 22% increase in the number of reps they could complete during an experimental resistancetraining session (compared to a placebo group). Additionally, in athletes undergoing intense strength training, 30 days of beta alanine supplementation resulted in higher training volume and lower subjective indices of fatigue compared to those who took a placebo. Other studies have shown that beta alanine supplementation, combined with high-intensity training, increases lean mass and fat loss compared to a placebo. While beta alanine can be found in a number of products in this category, it is important to take notice whether they contain clinically effective dosages as is the case here with 1000 mgs per dose.

Caffeine Anhydrous
Most pre-workout supplements contain caffeine, as its ingestion leads to increased energy and focus when you train. Beyond its energizing effects, there is evidence that pre-workout caffeine decreases muscular pain by nearly 50% during intense resistance training. Caffeine also helps mobilize fats into the bloodstream to be burned up during your workout, which not only burns fat, but provides energy to sustain exercise. In trained individuals, it has been shown that taking caffeine before you train increases muscular strength and time to exhaustion and decreases perceived exertion during intense training. AndroFury contains what I consider to be a very optimal dosage of caffeine (250 mg) for performance enhancement. Again, this is an example of how the BioQuest researchers have put a lot of scientific consideration into each and every detail of this formulation for optimal effectiveness and synergy.

Ultra Bio-Active Protodioscin


Protodioscin-rich botanical extracts have been shown to directly elevate the master of all muscle-building hormonestestosterone, and its precursor luteinizing hormone (LH), along with dehydroepiandrosterone. AndroFury features an exotic Bulgarian herbal extract that is precisely standardized to yield the highest level of ultra bio-active protodioscin of any product ever commercially produced. This is, in fact, the same technology that is featured in the industrys premier clinically validated testosterone booster, AndroTest, which has become a staple in the supplement regimens of world champion bodybuilders and some of Hollywoods biggest stars. This innovation alone is one that could make AndroFury the most powerful product in the category, but

that LCLT supplementation reduced exerciseinduced muscle tissue damage after squatting exercise. And of high importance is the fact that AndroFury uses the exact form and dosage of LCLT that was found effective in a recent study by researchers at the University of Connecticut. Beyond its anabolic effects, clinical research has also shown that LCLT increases fat burning (fatty acid oxidation) and reduces free radical production, which may act to prevent fatigue during training.

Beta Alanine
Carnosine is produced and stored in skeletal muscle from beta alanine and histidine, where beta alanine is the rate-limiting precursor. As such, research shows that supplementing beta alanine increases muscle carnosine levels by more than 60% in a very short time. High muscle carnosine levels

Advantra Z (30% Synephrine)


This is a patented extract from citrus aurantium (a.k.a bitter orange, Zhi Shi or sour orange). Synephrine shares a similar chemical structure to ephedra, and is considered a healthy and potent alternative to ephedra. Though synephrine and ephedra share chemical similarities, synephrine has many

30

differing biological properties, the most interesting of which, is that it elevates metabolism without increasing blood pressure and heart rate. This is because synephrine specifically binds to receptors on fat cells that enhance fat release and fat burning. In addition, it has stimulant effects similar to that of caffeine, thus increasing focus, energy and appetite suppression. It is also known to work synergistically with caffeine for greatly enhanced performance.

AndroFury has this important base well covered. During intense training, muscles consume significant levels of BCAA, which makes it extremely important to keep blood levels of these aminos high. And leucine, in particular, is considered the most important BCAA because it quickly activates muscle protein synthesis through a number of well established mechanisms. Research has shown that BCAAs also reduce the catabolic hormone cortisol, improve workout intensity, and of course promote greater muscle recovery. I could literally go on all day about the benefits of BCAA during high intensity training and this is why it is a staple in most of the more efficacious preworkout formulations. For background purposes, the ProSource/BioQuest product development team has provided me a copy of their detailed proprietary AndroFury formulation and I can say that I was not too surprised upon seeing the highly potent levels of each key ingredient given their track record for putting out truly sciencebased formulations that cut no corners. Again, I cant emphasize enough the importance of paying attention to proper dosing when it comes to the effectiveness of these products. AndroFury also contains a number of other important scientifically based performance enhancing components such as L-Citrulline, glutamine, R-ALA, vinpocetine and more, which we could further elaborate on, but instead will focus on what is considered the most important part of this discussion, and that is, real-world effectiveness. Indeed, AndroFury produces what is arguably the most profound increase in intensity that Ive experienced with any pre-workout Ive ever used. This is a feeling of not only more energy but profound strength and mental motivation. It is truly unlike anything else on the market and I would have to attribute it, at least in part, to the enhancement in testosterone levels. All in all, I can say this is the most exciting product Ive seen in many years, and therefore, writing this article was particularly satisfying for me. It truly needs to be experienced to fully understand the magnitude of what Im talking about here.

Arginine-AKG
Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid used by every cell in the body. It is essential for the production of nitric oxide (NO), which leads to vasodilation and increased blood flow, and has been reported to stimulate mitochondrial synthesis. Although several lines of evidence dispute the efficacy of pre-workout arginine supplements on nitric oxide (NO) production and vasodilation in healthy trained individuals, we now know it plays many other important roles to increase strength and workout intensity. It is involved in protein synthesis, the production of amino acids, creatine production, and the urea cycle. Its role in the urea cycle is essential to the removal of toxic ammonia from the body (which can occur with high protein intake), which protects cells and helps them operate more efficiently. Arginine-AKG is produced endogenously in the Krebs cycle and plays several roles in the body, including ammonia scavenging. When supplemented alone, arginine-AKG has been reported to positively influence protein metabolism, but this claim remains somewhat controversial in light of disputing evidence. Most importantly, research shows arginine-AKG promotes strength- and power-increases during training sessions. Research has shown that resistance training combined with arginineAKG supplementation leads to greater bench press strength, greater peak anaerobic power, and increased plasma arginine levels. Arginine-AKG has become one of the staples of all good pre-workout products, but again, it is important to look for effective dosages in the 1000 mg range as is found in AndroFury.

L-Tyrosine
Tyrosine is the precursor to the production of important neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine. These neurotransmitters play pivotal roles in fatburning and weight-loss but also conduct roles in the central nervous system associated with motivation, mood, attention, alertness, motor activity, and anxiety. Under stressful conditions (like when we train), levels of tyrosine may become depleted, which can induce fatigue due to limited neurotransmitter production. It has been shown that supplementing L-tyrosine before being exposed to stress can reverse fatigue and muscular discomfort, as well as elevate mood and alertness. At the same time, L-tyrosine works in a synergistic capacity with stimulants such as caffeine and synephrine, and thus represents an important addition to this particular formula.

BCAAs
And of course, no high-quality pre-workout formula would be complete without the benefit of a potent ergogenic level of BCAA and

Astragin
This is a patented compound composed of Astragalus and Panax Notoginseng. According to the makers of Astragin, this compound increases intestinal absorption of many molecules into the blood.

ssault by MusclePharm is marketed as a pre-workout or intra-workout supplement and packs an extensive array of key ingredients using meaningful dosing (which is broken down and disclosed on their website). Their new entry into the pre-workout category focuses on many tried and true energy and strength enhancing ingredients and, unlike many of its competitors, is not based primarily on high dose stimulants. Here is the breakdown of its main ingredients.

increased glycogen storage and recovery. Further, a recent study reported that subjects who took Cinnulin-PF reported trends in markers for increased power and strength.

Cinnulin-PF
This is a patented water-soluble cinnamon extract that is scientifically proven to increase insulin sensitivity, therefore helping to maintain blood sugars and lipid profiles. It was originally tested in pre-diabetic and diabetic populations, but has recently been shown to be beneficial to bodybuilders when ingesting large amounts of simple sugars (like dextrose). Thus, the addition of Cinnulin-PF to this stack will work in synergy with dextrose to promote

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)


Muscles consume BCAAs (i.e., leucine, valine, isoleucine) quickly after bouts of heavy training, making it important to keep blood levels high. In skeletal muscle, leucine is key in turning protein synthesis into overdrive through a number of different mechanisms. Scientific evidence has shown that among carbohydrates, nonessential amino acids, and other essential amino acids none have leucines anabolic capacity. That is why effective BCAA formulas contain at least twice as much leucine as valine or isoleucine. MusclePharms Assault uses a 3:1:2 blend of leucine:valine:isoleucine. Beyond anabolism, BCAAs have been scientifically proven to decrease blood cortisol (which is catabolic and lowers testosterone levels), improve workout intensity, decrease perceived workout exertion, combat fatigue, and promote recovery.

Con-Cret
This is a patented form of creatine HCL that is touted by the makers and MusclePharm to be highly soluble and more bioavailable than other forms. Assault is the only pre-workout supplement to contain this brand of creatine.

1.M.R
BPI
Sports 1.M.R is marketed as an ultra-concentrated and extrastrength pre-workout powder, containing central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, nitric oxide agonists and muscle-building agents. Unfortunately, they list their main ingredients as a proprietary Energy and Pump Matrix, so the potencies of each compound are unknown. That said, the aforementioned blend does contain many of the essential muscle builders and performance enhancers, including beta-alanine, L-arginine alpha ketoglutarate, taurine and creatine monohydrate. 1.M.R also contains another traditional blend of stimulants/energizers like caffeine anhydrous, L-tyrosine, Paullinia cupana (a.k.a guarana, a potent source of caffeine) and Yerba mate (another source of caffeine). But their formulation does not stop there. Read on as we go into detail about the ingredients that form this popular pre-workout.

Kigelia Africana (BARK)


Kigelia Africana is a flowering, fruit-bearing tree that grows throughout tropical Africa. Extract from the stem bark has a reputation in herbal medicine as a central nervous system stimulant. A recent study reported that the effect of K. africana as a CNS stimulant was better than caffeine, with no withdrawal symptoms. The study indicated that the bark possesses CNS stimulant properties that probably act via competitive antagonism at adenosine receptors, leading to elevated norepinephrine secretion and enhanced brain nerve activity.

cinone. The leaf of the plant is also known to have robust anti-inflammatory properties.

Visnea Mocanera (Leaf)


This plant is commonly called mocan and is found mainly in Portugal and Spain. Extracts from its leaves have been known to promote psychostimulant and thermogenic properties when ingested. It has also been shown to have analgesic (pain relieving) properties along with being an antiinflammatory agent.

Vitis Vinifera (Seed)


Vitis vinifera, commonly known as grape seed, has been demonstrated to be a potent nitric oxide dependent vasodilator. It is also a source of antioxidants and essential fatty acids, including linoleic, oleic and alpha-linolenic acids, which helps support vascularity and blood. The seeds contain bioflavonoids (called proanthocyanidins), which augment vitamin C activity to help strengthen cell membranes and protect them from oxidation damage. The antioxidant properties in vitis vinifera also fortify capillaries by protecting them against free radicals and enhancing collagen production (a protein fiber necessary for cell growth and repair).

Adhatoda Vasica (Leaf)


Adhatoda vasica is most commonly used as a respiratory aid because of its purported ability to act as a bronchodilator. This herbal preparation contains the active compounds vasicinone and vasicine. Vasicine is touted as having direct vasodilatory effects that seem to be potentiated by vasi-

Neurocore H
eres another case of a new and improved version of an original formula. Billed as super concentrated, with great taste, NeuroCore is a high-stimulant entry designed to give you that added edge of intensity when hitting the gym. If you examine each of this potent products ingredients, it is clear that MuscleTech has taken the classic three angled approach in its popular formulation1) Energy and Focus, 2) Strength and Pump, and 3) Muscle Building. Lets investigate the science behind the key ingredients contained in their NeuroCore Complex:

decreased fatigue during intense exercise. Many new studies illustrate the benefits of pre-workout beta alanine ingestion to increase exercise intensity and power.

Creatine HCl
Creatine supplementation is well known for its ability to increase protein synthesis, based on its ability to create an osmotic gradient whereby water is shunted into muscle cells (which is a signal for anabolism). Creatine also increases phosphocreatine in muscle that is utilized to make more ATP, and as a result enables longer and more intense training sessions. Although most of the research to date has been conducted using creatine monohydrate, NeuroCore uses creatine HCl. Some theories suggest that the HCl form improves solubility, thus less is needed to achieve the same benefits. This assertion remains an arguable point when comparing to the proven form, creatine monohydrate.

release of fat from fat cells, thus increasing levels of free-fatty acids to be burned for energy. In addition, yohimbine may help block alpha-2 receptors on blood vessels, which helps provide a potent vasodilatory effect to increase blood flow and nutrient delivery to working muscles.

Caffeine Anhydrous
We know that caffeine is a potent central nervous system stimulant, but its also intimately involved in increasing fat mobilization (during exercise) into the circulation to be used for energy. Caffeines stimulant properties have been shown to increase muscle strength and training intensity when taken preworkout. As well, studies have confirmed that preworkout caffeine supplementation reduces muscular soreness by greater than 50%. This is one of the most common ingredients found in pre-workout products and for good reason. It is a proven energy enhancer.

L-Citrulline
L-citrulline (a non-essential amino acid) has been scientifically shown to combat exercise fatigue and increase time to exhaustion. L-citrulline aids in the production of arginine (a precursor to nitric oxide) to promote greater muscle blood flow, it increases the rate of phosphocreatine and ATP production (for energy), and it reduces the accumulation of metabolic byproducts (i.e., ammonia and lactic acid). Most pre-workout formulas contain arginine, but recent evidence has shown that L-citrulline ingestion increases blood arginine levels much like arginine.

Deanol Bitartrate (Dimethylethanolamine or DMAE)


Do not confuse this with the stimulant DMAA, as this compound differs greatly in its actions. DMAE is a biochemical precursor to acetylcholine and is best known scientifically for its positive effects on focus and alertness.

Beta Alanine
This precursor to carnosine synthesis works together with histidine, but is said to be rate limiting. Thus, research has shown that beta alanine ingestion significantly boosts muscle carnosine levels by more than 60%. Research clearly indicates that elevated muscle carnosine correlates positively with increased power production and

Yohimbine
Yohimbine is considered to have fatmobilizing potential due to its ability to help block alpha-2, enabling the

Conclusion
In summation, what we have here represents a list of some of the best pre-workout products on the market today. You cant go wrong with any of these products as they are all high quality and produced by reputable manufacturers who put some good thought into formulation. However, the clear-cut standout is without a doubt AndroFury, not only by virtue of the impressive science behind its active ingredients, but also by the almost immediate surge in intensity and physical motivation it produces. In fact, the extraordinary efficacy of this product is perceptible within minutes of taking the first dose. This is the type of product that can take training intensity to the level necessary to support very significant gains on a consistent basis. I truly commend ProSource/BioQuest for their extensive research and meticulous attention to detail in creating a formulation that represents a major step forward in the pre-workout category.

Creatine
Separating the Myths from the Cold, Hard Facts
By Michael Roussell, PhD

reatine is a supplement that you will undoubtedly find in every bodybuilders gym bag. It has a long standing track record of success both in the gym and in the research lab. However, despite its widespread use, the proliferation of premium creatine products and formulations (from buffered creatine to biochemically modified creatines like creatine ethyl esters), has created a lot of confusion around which creatine is the most effective. You dont have to rely on the locker room bro-science consensus as to what creatine is best and if the designer creatines are worth the premium price as research studies have the answer. Lets take a look a look at what creatine does, how it works, and which forms of creatine offer you the best results and value for your time in the gym and each dollar spent. muscular phosphocreatine stores after 5 days allowing for creatine kinase to regenerate muscular ATP stores beyond the 10 seconds after which phosphocreatine levels are normally depleted.

Creatine Basics
Creatine supplementation is considered by the International Society of Sports Nutrition to be the most effective nutritional supplement available to athletes to increase high intensity exercise capacity and muscle mass during trainingand it has an established track record for elevating muscle creatine stores, yielding increases in acute duration high intensity exercise and long term effects on muscle strength and size. While creatine is synthesized in the liver and kidneys, 95% of the creatine stores in the body are found in skeletal muscle. The biosynthesis of creatine is thought to only account for 50% of the creatine found in skeletal muscles, with the remaining resulting from meat consumption (the primary source of creatine in the diet). Traditionally, the bodys synthesis and dietary sources of creatine are sufficient for everyday needs. However, the ergogenic effects of creatine are observed following saturation of muscular creatine stores, which is possible only through supplementation.

How Creatine Gets into Your Muscles


Creatine transport into muscle happens via cellular transporters. The creatine transporter has a maximum capacity that you can temporarily increase via supplementation (like during a period of creatine loading). Taking creatine with carbohydrates yields a greater increase in creatine uptake compared to ingestion of creatine alone. The added bump in creatine uptake that happens when creatine is combined with carbohydrates is due to the stimulatory effect of insulin on the creatine transporter.

Newly Discovered Benefits


Even though creatine has been around for a while, researchers are still uncovering new benefits and uses for creatine supplementation.

How Creatine is Used - The Science


The most common (and well studied source) of supplemental creatine is creatine monohydrate. In fast twitch skeletal muscle, phosphocreatine is used to rapidly regenerate ATP during short periods of intense muscular activity. Creatine monohydrate supplementation (20-30 grams/day) will saturate

Better Blood Sugar Control - In addition to supplemental creatines impact on ATP regeneration, it may also beneficially impact glucoregulation. A recent study found that creatine supplementation increases GLUT4 (the cellular transporter responsible for getting sugar out of the blood stream and into muscle cells) concentrations in skeletal muscle and prevents decreases in GLUT4 concentrations due

34

to muscle disuse. This evidence suggests that creatine supplementation may improve insulin sensitivity via enhancing or preserving GLUT4 content of skeletal muscle.

Ward Off Overtraining & Strength Decreases - One of the biggest concerns when

you are training long and hard is overtraining. Overtraining leads to decreases in strength and your desire to train. However, more recently advanced trainers have been using deliberate periods of overtraining, followed by periods of enhanced recovery to elicit even greater gains in size and strength. Research from the University of Connecticut shows that creatine is a key component to this strategy as supplementing with creatine during periods of planned overtraining (also known as overreaching) prevents the normal decreases in strength allowing for greater volume and workload, two essential components for maximum growth. Obviously, this is yet another important benefit for those looking to maximize their gains.

New Types of Creatine: Newer = Better?


Once something is found to be effective it doesnt take long before companies try to make new formulations and combinations to garner new customers or newer profits. You are probably all too familiar with pharmaceutical companies using this tactic. Once a patent runs out on a drug and generic versions become available, they scramble to reformat or repackage their product so it can be re-patented and marketed at a premium price. Creatine had the same fate. After the benefits of creatine for improving size and strength were well established, companies flocked to create better versions of creatine (that oftentimes commanded a premium price). Unfortunately, the efficacy and validity of the improved nature of these creatine products has been largely untested until now.

Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE) was one of the first designer creatine products to be introduced. Due to creatines biochemical structure, its bioavailability and absorption is limited. Insulin can aid in enhancing creatine transport but that is about it. Pharmaceutical companies often add ester groups to compounds in order to enhance their absorption; thus supplement companies popped ethyl esters onto creatine molecules and claimed that it enhanced absorption. Some claimed that the new structure could bypass the creatine transporter entirely. Unfortunately for the consumer, these claims were never really tested and when CEE was eventually put under the scientific microscope the claims didnt match the science. Instead this is what was discovered:
35

CEE is unstable at low pHs CEE is slowly degraded in the stomach (most likely due to the low pH of your stomach)
Since CEE is degraded in the stomach, the ester would no longer be intact at the site of muscular absorption leaving CEE to be taken up just like regular creatine monohydrate. This scenario gets worse when you consider that part of the marketing claims behind CEE was that since it contained enhanced absorption you did not need to take as much. However because there is no absorption advantage to CEE, you would reduce your dose, get no added benefit, and end up just taking in a suboptimal dose of creatine. The ProSource research team was one of the first to report on some of these shortcomings when the ester fad hit the industry a number of years ago.

Dose followed the dosing protocols specified on the the label for KA which claimed no need for loading and a dose of only 1.5 grams per day due to increased absorption of KA. After 28 days of creatine supplementation combined with weight training 4 days per week, and despite label claims of KA being up to 10 times more powerful than ordinary Creatine, it showed no advantage over Creapure Creatine Monohydrate. Instead, at the dosage recommended on the KA label, muscle creatine levels were not increased to the same extent as the creatine monohydrate group. A 28 day traditional dosing protocol with creatine monohydrate elicited an 11x greater change in muscle creatine levels compared to KA dosed according to the product label (1.5g/day).

Back to the Classic

Buffered Creatine - Buffered Creatine

also known as Kre-Alkalyn (KA) is another designer creatine product that has been marketed as being the pH correct creatine which prevents it from being degraded in the stomach, allowing for maximum uptake and absorption. It is worth noting that there is no published scientific evidence to suggest that creatine is degraded in the stomach; in fact the opposite is true. Research shows that 99% of creatine stays intact throughout the normal digestive process. Decade old research shows that when creatine is left in a solution of different pHs, it takes upwards of 8 hours before creatine would begin to be broken down at a pH similar to that of your stomach. So while buffered creatine may be pH correct creatine and keep creatine stable at a low pH (like in your stomach), so is regular creatine monohydrate.

Despite multiple attempts to create premium creatine products that cost more and outperform the rigorously studied and tested classic creatine monohydrate, a better alternative does not yet exist. Instead of reaching for the latest buffered or absorption enhanced creatine, remember that creatine monohydrate is the most tested and proven form of creatine and also far and away the most popular as it has been used successfully by millions of athletes worldwide.

The next step is purchasing the highest quality creatine monohydrate available. Since the early 1990s the gold standard has been and is Creapure creatine monohydrate. It has been used in 50 different clinical trials and is continually tested for Genuine Creapure creatine sourcing purity and potency. In addition, Creapure creatine undergoes a special purification ensures youre getting the best and process to remove any chemical byproducts purest creatine every time. such as creatinine, dicyandiamide, dihydrotriazine, and thiourea. Contamination of creatine with byproducts is an issue as inferior creatine products The researchers at Texas A&M decided that there was enough have been found on supplement store shelves that contain 5% speculation and inferences from combining the findings of impurities while Creapure purity tests consistently show it to different studies regarding creatine types, stability at a low pH, be 99.95% pure creatine. and most importantly, improved performance in the gymthat research needed to be done. The researchers randomly assigned 36 In closing, use creatine every day to get the most out of your participants to one of three groups: Creapure Creatine Monohydedicated time in the gym and kitchen. Dont be swayed by the drate Regular Dose, Kre-Alkalyn Label Dose, Kre-Alkalyn Regular claims of designer creatine products; creatine monohydrate is Dose. The Creapure Creatine Monohydrate and Kre-Alkalyn Regular consistently shown in research studies to be highly effective Dose groups followed the standard creatine dosing protocol of which is not something that can be said of the designer forms. 5 grams of creatine, 4 times per day for 7 days, followed by Finally, look for the Creapure label to ensure that you are 5 grams per day after the loading period.

An Inside Look at the ProSource Headquarters


By Bill Kispert, Senior Editor

ver the past few decades, it would appear that the original pillars American business and manufacturing were built upon have been in sharp decline. Where many companies once valued quality and service above all else, they now focus first and foremost on profits and costs. By producing inferior products at much lower costs, these companies have created an environment in which it is difficult for others to market high-quality products at competitive prices. Since being founded in 1996, ProSource has been in a unique position to buck this trend. Shortly before the advent of the Internet, ProSource began as one of the supplement industrys many mail-order catalog companies. It was in this early stage that we first set ourselves apart from the competition by making use of our unique Direct-to-Consumer business model. By offering our own ProSource brand supplements exclusively through our catalog, we were able to cut out the middle-men and formulate our products with the highest quality ingredients available, and the optimal potencies, while also maintaining the most competitive prices. This business model also allowed us to offer other brand supplements at super low prices by buying direct in large volume and eliminating a layer of middlemen. This concept rapidly turned us from a small supplement distributor into one of the nations leading online superstores, and continued on next page remains the core foundation that our business is built around to this day.

It also means the difference between something that you would want to put into your body and something you wouldnt. Based on the products they continue to put out, its obvious too many companies have embraced the notion that quality no longer holds much weight with todays consumers. We like to think that weve definitely proven them wrong through the overwhelming success of both our premiumquality ProSource and BioQuest brands. One obvious illustration of our commitment to quality here at ProSource can be found in our NytroWhey products. As the central supplement of any bodybuilder or fitness enthusiast, protein powders can have a significant effect on the type of results that are achieved. While many companies use protein that is of such poor quality that its often already been rejected by other quality control departments, we produce our NytroWhey formulas using only American made whey isolate proteins from Glanbia ur ultra-premium ProSource brand sports supplements Nutrition. These are precision manufactured using a sophisticated and expensive cross-flow microare nationally renowned for their superior purity, filtration processing method which results in a potency and high level of efficacy. much higher purity level and most importantly leaves whey proteins native growth factors entirely intact for maximum anabolic efficacy.

acted as indispensable tools for countless numbers of supplement shoppers around the nation for over 16 years. The fact that the ProSource catalog is more popular today than ever, even as so many traditional print catalogs are failing due to online competition, serves as a testament to the quality and value of its content. There arent too many sources out there in which you can find hundreds of detailed supplement reviews, advice from the industrys top experts, and insight from some of pro sports and Hollywoods biggest stars, all in one place. The supplement reviews featured in each of our Buyers Guides are authored by highly qualified experts, many of whom are, or have been, bodybuilders themselves. Many of the industrys top products over the years have been launched through the ProSource Buyers Guide, with our reviews often setting the stage for their success. The value of our product descriptions and reviews is further enhanced when you consider that most of our competitors are simply copying this information directly from the products manufacturers rather than researching and writing it themselves. Detailed and reliable product reviews are becoming increasingly more difficult to find, which is why we devote so much time to maintaining the integrity of ours. Our articles and research updates easily rival and surpass those found in most bodybuilding and fitness magazines. Written by some of the most highly credentialed experts the industry has to offer, the articles featured in our catalogs have covered everything from the research behind new ingredients to the values of different forms of protein. Almost every science based article we publish is written by a PhD writer with years of experience in the nutrition and sports science fields, which is something that most of the top

39

bodybuilding publications cant say. Its factors such as this that have helped our research updates and product articles become the most trusted source for information on the industrys most cutting edge developments. Everyone aspires to achieve that ultimate physique, and the ProSource Buyers Guide is the only place out there in which you can learn all of the training and supplementation secrets of the biggest stars and then purchase the supplements they use at the lowest prices. Celebrities that have graced the pages of past ProSource catalogs include 4-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler, legendary actor Sylvester Stallone, future Hall of Fame wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, former All-Pro running back Brian Westbrook, and of course Hollywood superstar Mark Wahlberg, just to name a few. Athletes and movie stars like these use the ProSource catalog as a forum to share their advice on everything from diet and nutrition programs to workout techniques and supplement choices. While there are no true shortcuts to achieving the kinds of ideal physiques of these big name stars, the ProSource Buyers Guide might be the closest thing to one by providing convenient access to all of the information and resources necessary to reach these kinds of physique enhancement goals.

In addition to unprecedented discounts such as these, we offer dozens of other promotions on a large selection of products, as well as free samples with every order. When you consider the fact that we also offer free gifts such as t-shirts and shaker cups with orders over a certain size, there really is no better value to be found anywhere on the web. Plus, with the recent addition of our mobile site for smartphones to our online network, purchasing supplements online has never been so easy and convenient.

ustomer service is something that, along with manufacturing standards, has suffered in recent years as companies look to cut costs. Its clear after one call to our ProSource sales representatives that weve cut no corners in this area. While it is true that many consumers today prefer to go online to make their purchases, a reasonable percentage of the population remains who still like to speak to customer reps who are able to answer

ing additional shipping costs onto their customers by either charging more for shipping or adding the cost to the prices of their products, while others have turned to slower and less reliable shipping methods to solve this problem. Our response to this issue here at ProSource has been simple; we havent changed a thing. We still continue to offer the lowest prices on all of our products, and we still charge the lowest flat rate shipping fee in the industry, while continuing to ship our orders UPS for the fastest and most dependable service. This method obviously increases our costs significantly, but we dont believe its right to pass additional costs onto our customers unless its absolutely necessary. In addition to charging the lowest UPS shipping rate in the industry, we also offer free shipping on any order over $200. Where other companies ship their products from distribution centers that they rarely ever see, all of our orders ship directly from our own, stateof-the-art, climate-controlled warehouse. We constantly rotate our inventory to ensure that we always have the freshest products in stock, and most orders placed before 3pm ship the same day that you place them. UPS provides the most detailed and up-to-date tracking information on all packages once shipped, with reliable delivery estimates. Because no other company in the industry comes close to our customer services, the added value here at ProSource becomes remarkably clear.

Conclusion

n this difficult economy and ever-changing market, it hasnt always been easy to maintain the high standards of quality that weve set for ourselves in every aspect of our business. Over the past 16 years weve weathered everything from economic recessions to devastating storms like, most recently, Hurricane Sandy. Weve also had to adapt to technological changes over the years such as the rapid development of new Internet technologies, and the changes in purchasing methods and behaviors theyve brought with them. Its because of these types of factors that so many companies today have lost sight of the values that really matter to the customer. While our company has evolved in many ways over the years, weve always remained 100% committed to the same principles that we started with since Day One! Its our dedication to quality, value and customer service that has led to our enduring success, while so many other companies have failed by compromising these values. These business strategies have served both our company and our customers extremely well for the last 16 years, and we are more committed than ever to maintaining our position as Americas #1 source for premium supplements at super low prices for decades to come.

AndroTest Extreme
The Ultimate Complex of T-Boosting Agents

he mark of any great sports supplement is the science behind it and a manufacturer willing to go that extra mile every step of the way to properly develop that product. When it comes to synthesizing the worlds purest, most potent Bulgarian Tribulus terrestris, no other provider in this industry has gone to the extremes in the key extraction process as has ProSource. Other manufacturers that offer this compound in their products have settled for lesser potency via just one or two extractions of the Tribulus. Conversely, the ProSource product development team made the commitment, both financial and physical, to achieve the greatest protodioscin potency possible. This was the only way to ensure optimum efficacy because this pivotal active ingredient is recognized industry-wide as the most critical T-boosting component nature provides. As a result, ProSource implemented up to 20 separate extractions of the saponin-rich herbal material to achieve the ultimate goal. The result is an extract that delivers a standardized 40% minimum potency of protodioscin that is up to 40 times more potent than the competitors. Protodioscin is the primary compound responsible for enhancing the production of luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn, helps raise testosterone levels in the body.

This unprecedented potency was introduced to the bodybuilding world as AndroTest, which also contained a powerful extract of the only Tongkat ali (also known as Eurycoma longifolia jack or Longjack) standardized for active constituentsLJ-100. In yet another milestone, an independent, product-specific clinical study was conducted on AndroTest, which exhibited major increases of both free and total testosterone. See sidebar. The ultra-advanced AndroTest Extreme starts with the breakthrough testosterone-enhancing protodioscin potency found in original AndroTest, and takes its extraordinary power even further by incorporating the latest and most powerful herbal precursor agent to emerge from the nations top sports science labs. That compounda fenugreek extract standardized for 50% fenusides and trade named Testofencontains steroidal saponins, sapogenins, and furostanol saponins. Remarkably, this potent precursor compound has been shown in a human clinical study to increase free testosterone levels by 98.81% (after 8 weeks in healthy subjects), while decreasing skin fold thickness in triceps and thighs by 20.18% and 14.64% respectively, with no reduction in bodyweight. These astounding results were achieved with a clinically administered daily dose of 600 mg of Testofen, which is the same dosage that is present in AndroTest Extreme. With this potent addition, AndroTest Extreme now features three separate, high-powered compounds clinically tested tosupport significant increases in testosterone levels. In combination, these three T-boosters are designed to synergistically stimulate testosterone enhancement to a level beyond anything previously attainable. Consequently, AndroTest Extreme is one of the rare T-boosters on the market that produces profound results that users can actually feel. Indeed, significant improvements in the gym along with enhanced libido have become the hallmark of the universally acclaimed AndroTest brand. Athletes now have access to an all-natural testosterone-enhancement technology that supports significant increases in free, unbound and total testosterone. The clinical research is unequivocal. The efficacy is unsurpassed. Simply stated, AndroTest Extreme now represents the most powerful T-booster on the market today.
1) Ultra Complete Spectrum Highly Active Bulgarian Tribulus standardized for an un precedented 40% Protodioscin (up to 40 times more potent than standard forms of tribulus). 2) TestofenHighly bioactive source of natural steroidal saponins that are shown to promote remarkable increases in free testosterone levels. 3) LJ-100Specialized Extract of Eurycoma Longifolia standardized for 28% bioactive glycopeptide compounds, which produce significant increases in both free and total testosterone levels.

AndroTest Study
In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind clinical study, a team of doctors in a medical college and hospital evaluated the testosterone-boosting effectiveness of AndroTest on 31 healthy adult men, ages 35 to 55. And the results were stunning! After only four weeks, AndroTest produced major increases in total testosterone (as high as 275%) and incredible increases in free testosterone, up to 218% over baseline! This means that some subjects using AndroTest experienced nearly a three-fold increase in their testosterone levels. Equally impressive is the fact that the increased testosterone levels (after two weeks use) were observed throughout the measurement points of the study, which is especially important since sustained increases in testosterone are the key to enhancing muscle growth.

ANDROTEST High-Performance T-Boosting Power


A

ndroTest is an excellent example of ProSources constant aim for supplement perfection. While other manufacturers are content to submit their raw materials to one or two extractions to derive the protodioscin that is the key active ingredient in every reputable natural T-booster, ProSource takes the extraction process to an unprecedented level. AndroTest is synthesized via a painstaking protodioscin extrication method that can include up to 20 separate extractions. The result is the first T-booster ever standardized for a minimum of 40% protodioscin levels. Research has now established that protodioscin, the steroidal saponin extracted from Tribulus terrestris, is the primary compound responsible for helping to enhance the production of luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn helps raise testosterone levels in the body. Studies have also shown that protodioscin works to help stimulate protein synthesis, the major component for lean mass gains.

In addition to this massive infusion of protodioscin, AndroTest also contains a powerful extract of the only PSP059 60 tabs Tongkat ali (also known as Eurycoma longifolia jack or Longjack) standardized for active constituents LJ-100. Studies have found that LJ-100 increased average testosterone levels 50% and average DHEA levels 47% after one months usage, without inhibiting normal baseline testosterone production. Indeed, subjects taking 100 mg per day of LJ-100 for 8 weeks and training rigorously saw their strength more than doubled, significantly outpacing the control group not receiving LJ-100. This extraordinary AndroTest formula was put to the ultimate test in arandomized, placebo-controlled, double blind, productspecific clinical study that documented significant increases in total testosterone and free testosterone, which were sustained throughout the measurement points of the study. See AndroTest Extreme, page 48, for more detailed information.

Tributest
The T-Boosting Categorys Ultimate Combination of Quality and Value

ribuTest is one of the industrys best examples of elite quality ingredients provided at an affordable price. To create TribuTest, ProSources R&D experts were tasked with one paramount goal: Deliver the most potent T-boosting Tribulus terrestris at the lowest price conceivable. Having gained valuable experience in the creation of both AndroTest and AndroTest Extreme, the acknowledged premium-quality gold-standard bearers in the category, they proved to be more than equal to the job. TribuTest is a single-plant compound made up of only premium-grade 100% Bulgarian material, manufactured using the superior quality-control standards that ProSource has become justly renowned for. Better yet, its available at a price that in most cases is lower than that of inferior or downright useless competing products. Unfortunately, most other similar products that are touted on an equal footing with TribuTest are in fact, lower quality shams that go so far as to contain undetermined amounts of raw material with no documentation of saponin content or assurance of quality of any kind. Conversely, ProSources TribuTest is the exception to the general rule when it comes to economypriced T-boosters. TribuTest contains 1000 mg of 100% pure Bulgarian Tribulus terrestris per dose, standardized for remarkably high 40% total saponins. Though its not quite up to the industry-leading potency of the elite AndroTest formulas, TribuTest is an excellent and reasonably priced alternative to low-potency competing products with undisclosed ingredient profiles.

The latest example of this progress is new clinical studies that show that non-buffered niacin (vitamin B-3) may actually enhance workouts by helping to increase blood circulation to muscles (vasodilation). Niacin has been used for some time now for numerous health benefits, including cholesterol support and helping to enhance blood lipid profiles. To take advantage of these benefits, many have chosen a buffered form to avoid the warm tingling sensation and slight redness of the skin that occurs after taking the beneficial vitamin. This niacin flush, as its called, is due to the fact that non-buffered, or immediate release niacin is quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, enters the circulatory system and triggers the relaxation of smooth muscle tissue surrounding the blood vessels. This in turn causes the red skin and tingling sensation, while also increasing blood flow so that more oxygen and nutrients can be delivered to muscle tissue. Who would have thought that this harmless flushing effect could actually enhance workouts? ProSources Immediate Release Niacin is the highest-quality flush form niacin available, at a maximum 250 mg per tablet, providing the optimum benefits that instant absorption of vitamin B-3 provides.

NytroWhey Drive Phenomenal Mass and Strength Gains with this


Our Most Powerful Muscle Building Protein Formula Ever!

NEW FLAVOR

ts been a few years now since the newest and most anabolically powerful NytroWhey yet, NytroWhey Ultra Elite, was introduced and the response has been truly remarkable. Long-time fans of the NytroWhey line of premium proteins have been ecstatic over the purity and potency of the new matrix of muscle-growth agents incorporated into NytroWhey Ultra Elite. These proteins, formulated by Glanbia Nutrition, the USAs foremost protein manufacturer, are far and away the biggest protein breakthrough the industry has seen since the appearance of original NytroWhey over a decade ago. The NytroWhey line has always been acclaimed for its sheer anabolic power, but this time, if overwhelming consumer response is an accurate indicator, weve really outdone ourselves.

Breakthrough Technological Advances Make the Worlds Best Protein Significantly Better

science. Now that NytroWhey Ultra Elite has been fortified with a host of dynamic, cutting-edge protein technologies, the superiority gap has only grown wider. The first is a new ultimate premium-grade CFM whey isolate called Provon, the highest quality whey isolate available industry-wide! The R&D team at ProSource has balanced this premium source of WPI with TherMAX, a rapid action whey protein hydrolysate (again, from Glanbia) that has been processed to yield extremely low-molecular-weight di- and tri-peptides. The result is a product providing instantaneous aminoacidemia (flooding of amino acids into the blood) upon ingestion, all the while maintaining blood amino acid levels for hours. NytroWhey Ultra Elite also contains a remarkable anabolic-activating ingredient called LeuvonTM 590, a leucine bound leucine peptide (LBLP). Leucine, one of three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), is primarily involved in turning on anabolism when ingested. Leuvon is a proprietary form of leucine that has been scientifically shown to be ultra-soluble in water, ensuring it mixes easier and digests with higher bioavailability than common free forms of L-leucine. With Leuvon added to NytroWhey Ultra Elite, this product boasts up to 4 times the leucine content of other premium whey protein products. Additionally, Ultra Elite is fortified with Aminogen, which is scientifically proven to increase protein assimilation, plus an advanced fiber blend as well as innovative healthy fats containing medium chain triglycerides, cold processed flax, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which have been associated with overall health and fat metabolism. The result is a breakthrough formula that is very low in carbohydrates, high in fiber, and powerfully anabolic. Finally, when you talk about NytroWhey, you have to talk about flavor. NytroWhey Ultra Elite carries on a long-established tradition of superb taste and texture. Where previous entries in the line have been dominating taste tests for years, Ultra Elite greatly improves on NytroWheys trademark rich and savory deliciousness.

f youre serious about getting big and lean, the list of true fat-loss, muscle-supportive proteins designed to help you achieve that goal is a short one, and it starts with Vectron. The secret of Vectrons unique mechanism of action is Prolibra, a weight management system clinically proven to help improve the ratio of lean to fat mass.

Clinical Testing Results: Maintaining Muscle Mass While Losing Fat


In an independent, randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical trial published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, test subjects showed significant improvements in the ratio of lean mass to fat while taking just 24.4 grams of Prolibra per day compared to a control group taking an isocaloric placebo. The subjects taking Prolibra retained twice as much lean muscle with 79% fat-loss compared to the control group at 51% fat loss. Prolibra is highly exceptional in this regard, as no other protein complex has been clinically proven to achieve this type of body composition improvement in a 12-week period (not to mention at such a modest daily dose). Remarkably, the Prolibra group, using just 24.4 grams per day, lost 6.1% fat, which is an extraordinary result. Since its introduction, the response to Vectron among those in the athletic community has been overwhelmingly positive, and sales have increased exponentially. Athletes appear to have recognized immediately that what they were getting was not just another anabolic protein for muscle synthesis, but a scientifically engineered system of advanced weight management. As such, Vectron is a very exciting physique enhancement tool that has made the ultimate goal of simultaneous muscle support and fat-loss more of a scientific reality than ever before. As more and more research becomes available, it will likely become more and more evident that the ingredients contained within Prolibra and Vectron may be your best alternatives for radically transforming your physique. To put it simply, Vectron is truly in a class by itself!

he main problem with most meal replacements is they tend compromise on the quality of their ingredients, in particular, protein! That is not the case with NutriPure Supreme. In fact, it is just the opposite! Unlike virtually every other product of its kind, NutriPure Supreme contains premium grades of CFM whey isolate and micellar casein, plus whey hydrolysate subjected to a very high degree of hydrolysis. The addition of whey hydrolysate is a highly unusual step in a marketplace where MRPs often contain primarily lower-grade proteins. Conversely, the broad spectrum of ultra-rapid, medium- and extendedabsorption proteins in NutriPure has the capacity to shuttle anabolic aminos to muscle tissue in a rapid sequence and then continue at an optimum level for hours at a time.

In recent clinical investigations into longevity, for example, trans resveratrol (pronounced rez-VER-a-trawl) showed some amazing qualities that few, if any other products known are capable of replicating. Clearly, resveratrols health and wellness benefits are highly desirable, which is why some manufacturers have tried to take advantage and offer lower grade forms. On the other hand, the supplement experts at ProSource have been so encouraged by the data on this exciting compound that they have discovered and formulated the highest potency available, utilizing natural trans resveratrol from top quality Japanese Knotwood root (50% Polygonum cuspidatum) and pure red wine extract (Vitis vinifera, min. 30% polyphenols). The result is the purest and most potent form of resveratrol our industry has to offer.

For this group to get results like that in such a relatively brief period of time is exceptional, to say the least!

This technology has been a great boon to bodybuilders, but unfortunately, arginine-based products are usually higher priced.

cetyl L-carnitine can be of great benefit to athletes, bodybuilders or anyone looking for increased exercise endurance and recovery. This valuable compound is a more bioavailable form of the amino acid L-carnitine, an important metabolic agent derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Weight trainers have found acetyl-L-carnitine to have physique enhancing properties and endurance assistance benefits when used before workouts, probably due to its role in facilitating the mobilization of certain nutrients into the mitochondria to help support energy. And because acetyl-L-carnitine is non-stimulating, it can be used along with thermogenic products such as caffeine or yohimbe without risk of over stimulation. In addition, recent scientific discoveries have shown that L-carnitine may have benefits in supporting androgen receptors, thereby assisting muscle recovery. ProSoures Acetyl L-Carnitine supplies 1,000 mg per 2 capsule serving and is 100% pure, ensuring maximum results from one of the industrys most versatile supplements.

his essential amino acid, both alone and as one third of the branched chained aminos (BCAAs), has demonstrated impressive anabolic activity and is also one of the more researched compounds in the sports supplement business. L-leucine is best taken around workouts (before, during and after) to help support recovery by assisting with increasing protein synthesis. The bottom line with this amino: more leucine in the body, more mass growth after exercise. It is especially useful for athletes or bodybuilders following a high intensity workout as well as those dieting who need to reduce muscle catabolism while following a low calorie diet along with increased exercise activity, especially cardio. Free-form amino acids such as L-leucine are hydrolyzed, making L-leucine an ideal supplement to be taken during exercise because of its fast utilization. This powerhouse amino has become one of the more popular anabolic support supplements in recent years at ProSource.

With its efficient absorption, the amino acids in Blox should prove to be a good choice for any weight lifter or bodybuilder looking to increase anabolic results and assist exercise endurance and recovery.

aurine is an often overlooked amino acid that, although not as well-known as some other aminos such as glutamine, leucine or arginine, has proven itself to have many positive benefits for weight lifters and physically active people. Youll often see taurine listed in pre-workout formulas, and for good reason. It has an apparent anti-catabolic effect during exercise, which can make a difference in muscle growth during and after workouts. Oddly enough, taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid but also the second most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue where it helps with fluid balance in the cells, which may in turn support protein synthesis. Take L-taurine before and directly after exercise to support muscle cell hydration and anabolic enhancement. Ultra premium grade ProSource Mega Taurine provides 500 mg of 100% pure HPLC-tested free-form L-taurine to ensure maximum effectiveness of this simple but potent amino acid.

With each bottle of Zycor sold, word-of-mouth affirmation spreads BQT020 120 capsules like wildfire and sales chart ever upward. Zycor is the best-selling fat-loss catalyst weve carried here since the golden age of ephedra-based products. Indeed, the upsurge in sales of Zycor has cut into the margins of its competitors so severely, Zycor now out-sells them all. The story of Zycor begins with the results of a pair of clinical studies on its core ingredient that shocked the industry. In the combined results of two preliminary randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled studies on Meratrim, Zycors ultra-potent main ingredient, subjects lost an average of 4.5 lbs in a mere 14 days! These extraordinary results continued with subjects losing a remarkable total of 11.5 lbs by the end of the 8-week studies. Subjects also achieved significant reductions in waist and hip size, which further underscores the fact that this formula is specifically attacking body fat. Results like these, confirmed by two major preliminary clinical studies, are what separates Zycor from the competition! In retrospect, it can be seen that BioQuests superior research and development efforts have enabled the company to open up a competitive and scientific advantage in the fat-loss category that may be insurmountable. The BioQuest R&D team has revitalized the category of fat loss from the ground up, providing athletes with a transformational tool that will enable you to attain what was for the most part previously unattainable, in terms of a lean, ripped physique. Were very proud of the fact that Zycor is still distributed exclusively by ProSource, and is certain to remain the standard against which all competing fat-loss supplements will be measured for years to come.

In an independent product-specific trial conducted with original AndroTest, those dosed with the industry gold-standard product emerged with statistically significant increases of free testosterone levels, up to 218% over baseline. In addition, statistically significant increases in total testosterone levels were also measured, with results as high as 275% over baseline. The fact such dramatic increases were observed is remarkable in itself more-so is the fact that those numbers were over baseline, and not in comparison to a placebo group. The key ingredient in AndroTest and AndroTest Extreme is a specialized, highly bioactive form of standardized Tribulus from Bulgaria that produces an unprecedented level of protodioscin content.

AndroTest Extreme incorporates this unsurpassed protodioscin potency and amps its extraordinary T-boosting effectiveness up another notch with the inclusion of a specialized fenugreek extract standardized for 50% fenusides. Trade-named Testofen, this extract has demonstrated its own anabolic support activity in another clinical study. Until another competing testosterone booster is formulated with the due diligence and attention to detail afforded to AndroTest Extreme, the long-established front-runner in this category will remain exactly where it is: a clear-cut #1.

ndroCept is a unique and vital T-boosting supplement that contains 2000 mg of a specialized L-carnitine L-tartrate (LCLT). In a major university study, LCLT was shown to be effective in promoting increased androgen receptor levels, thereby increasing testosterone available for anabolism. Also, in two crossover, placebo controlled trials, 2000 mg of LCLT per day, taken over a period of 3 weeks, showed reductions in muscle damage from high intensity resistance exercise. AndroCept utilizes the exact form and dosage of LCLT that was found effective in these studies. In addition to its help with testosterone transport and reduction of muscle damage, carnitine is recognized by researchers as being one of the primary energy support compounds in the cell, needed to transport long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria. Finally, because it does not increase testosterone itself, it can be used along with any T-booster in this section to dramatically enhance results.

f there were ever two nutrients that belong together, the vast majority of nutritional researchers would readily agree that glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are the perfect match. Glucosamine sulfate is one of very few ingredients known with the clinical research to back-up its joint support claims, including the rare ability to actually promote and repair cartilage. Chondroitin might be considered the other side of the coin because it is a type of glycosaminoglycan particularly rich in sulfur, a compound used by the body to repair connective tissue.

Optimum Nutrition Fish Oil contains 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA per softgel, which are enteric coated to reduce fishy after taste.

he scientific research validating resveratrols antioxidant and physique-improving potential has really been adding up over the last few years. In fact, there are still many areas of research being conducted on this remarkable phytonutrient because its potential and varied benefits continue to accrue. Some clinical reports have shown that resveratrol may help support healthy circulation and has an apparent ability to enhance mitochondrial function, which in turn, can help diminish fatigue, possibly enhance the cardiovascular system and support endurance. The other good news is, ProSource was one of the first in the sports supplement industry to recognize the exercise benefits of this potent extract. ProSource Resveratrol contains trans-resveratrol (the more natural form) from Japanese knotwood and pure red wine extract and is guaranteed to be of the highest purity and potency of this multifaceted and powerful phytonutrient.

itamin C has more functions in the human body than perhaps any other single nutrient. Its crucial for cardiovascular health, the immune system, collagen synthesis, free radical reduction and glandular functionparticularly adrenal and thyroid. Such a critically important supplement should always be of the highest quality raw material possible, such as used in ProSource Vitamin C, the purest and most potent available. Research has shown that vitamin C may help bodybuilders by helping lower cortisol levels, leading to better muscle repair, assisting muscle recovery after exercise and facilitating a better muscle to fat ratio. Not all vitamin Cs are created equal, however. Many manufacturers offer inferior grades of impure and less bioavailable raw material, which may do more harm than good. The facts are clear as regards the absolute need for the best you can find, and ProSource Vitamin C is unrivaled in the industry.

OW Vitamin D-3 provides a diligently sourced D-3 in 1000 iu liquid gel caps for good absorption. Clinical studies have shown Vitamin D-3 may be more effective and last longer in the body than standard vitamin D supplements due to its higher biological activity. Vitamin D has an important role in human biology, assisting in the absorption of calcium and maintaining proper calcium and phosphorous levels in the blood, while also supporting immune system and neuromuscular function. This important nutrient is normally obtained from the diet and manufactured by the skin when exposed to ultraviolet rays, such as sunlight. But because modern life keeps many of us from sun exposure and vitamin D is not very abundant in food, supplementation is often the only way to make sure youre getting enough of this crucial nutrient.

-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is the stable form of cysteine, a very powerful antioxidant. Some of its more important functions in the body are the production of glutathione (the master antioxidant in the body), detoxification, connective tissue repair and the control of inflammation. This last function is particularly important for bodybuilders and athletes as inflammation can reach very high levels during intense training, which, in turn, can damage muscle tissue. Another benefit of NAC is its ability to help detoxify the liver, a very crucial action for bodybuilders as the liver is central to the metabolism and synthesis of proteins, fats and carbohydrates for the support of energy, mass growth, and exercise performance. To optimize all these crucial biological actions, this important nutrient needs to be of the highest quality. ProSource NAC is the purest and most potent available anywhere and, as with all ProSource products, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Acai also provides a plethora of healthful compounds, including vitamins, minerals, fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium, copper, zinc, phosphorous and sulfur. Of course, when a new, clinically backed supplement is introduced, the industry tends to see many unscrupulous manufacturers offering low-grade, cheaper versions. Thus, selecting a quality product is crucial. This is why ProSource offers only 100% purified and freeze dried Acai Berry in order to retain freshness and in turn, a higher potency.

Over the last couple years, one question has come up among our readers more than any other, and that is: which bodybuilding category do we think is the most important?

roSource decided to go to the expert for the answer. Dr. Dwayne Jackson, Ph.D., is a Professor and Scientist at one of Canadas top medical schools, the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University. He has over 12 years of university education in physiology, and hails from such esteemed institutes as the University of Ottawa, Western University, and Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Jackson is the author of several peer reviewed scientific articles in the area of vascular control and disease. He has been bodybuilding since the age of 16 and has written hundreds of articles for such major industry magazines as Muscle & Fitness, MuscleMag, Reps, and Maximum Fitness. Over the years, he has established himself as one of the top authorities in supplement science. And, as an avid bodybuilder, has had the opportunity to personally use the supplements he researches and writes about. Take it away, Dr. Jackson.

Of all the bodybuilding supplement categories, which one would you say is the most important for maximizing results?
This is a great question! As more and more bodybuilding products hit the market, it is easy to get a little overwhelmed by the myriad of ingredients, claims and functions. Certainly, there are a number of key categories that are essential to achieving the transformation desired, but none are more important to maximizing physique development than a productive pre-workout regimen, including especially, a high-quality supplementation protocol. It is clear that augmenting both your bodys energy output and nutrient intake prior to training sets up an optimal environment for muscular growth. To achieve this, a product must approach pre-workout nutrition from several angles. The best formulations do this by carefully incorporating a number of key ingredients that are scientifically proven to: Stimulate energy and focus without promoting hyperstimulation and burnout. Ramping up the central nervous system (CNS) before a workout promotes a fight or flight response in the brain and body, thus increasing motivation, focus and training intensity. However, products must be careful not to over stimulate the brain, which has an opposite effect, as neurotransmitters deplete and the stimulants wear off. The research tells us that optimal pre-workout CNS stimulation is best achieved by taking in moderate levels of caffeine (200-300 mg per serving) combined with L-tyrosine to support neurotransmitter production and negate mental burnout. Although caffeine is not as sexy as other stimulants, it is the safest and the only one shown in numerous studies to increase energy, focus and strength, while also reducing fatigue and muscle soreness in people who weight train. Clearly, the body of evidence behind caffeine as a performance enhancer is quite impressive. 154

Boost strength and combat fatigue. From a fundamental perspective, resistance training is no more than a stimulus for the body to adapt. The body adapts to each training session via incremental muscle hypertrophy (growth), a response that is tightly linked to training volume and intensity. Thus, supplements that enable you to push harder for more sets will, over time, augment muscular growth. Beta alanine (800-1000 mg per serving) has been unequivocally shown to increase training volume, decrease fatigue, and increase lean mass when used before resistance training. Thus, you will see beta alanine in most high-quality pre-workout formulas. However, the one variable that even some of the more popular products on the market do not contain is the correct efficacious dosage, and therefore, you should pay close attention to supplement facts to be sure the product contains an amount in the aforementioned range. Research has also shown that elevating blood arginine levels before training leads to stronger and more intense workouts. One of the best ways to increase blood arginine is by making sure the pre-workout product contains L-citrulline (1000 mg) and arginineAKG (800-1000 mg). Science has shown that they both influence strength and workout intensity via other mechanisms beyond the frequently discussed nitric oxide angle. In fact, a past research study showed arginine-AKG supplementation resulted in increased plasma arginine levels, greater bench press strength, and greater anaerobic power. Indeed, L-citrulline and arginine are must-have components of any high-quality pre-workout supplement. Increase anabolic drive. Anabolism can be simply defined as constructive metabolism. In skeletal muscle, we see constructive metabolism as increased protein synthesis, leading to greater muscle hypertrophy. Weight training on its own promotes biological responses that increase anabolic drive in skeletal muscle. The key hormone regulating the anabolic response in the body is

testosterone, which becomes elevated from resistance training. Augmenting this effect via supplementation offers even greater results. This is precisely why synthetic T-boosters in the past, and natural T-boosting supplements recently, have been core compounds for bodybuilders over the years. Ensuring that you maximize your T-levels not only switches on your anabolic response but also promotes more aggressive and intense workouts for greater muscular growth. Being that we have now established that the pre-workout category is the most important for maximizing physique transformation, and, that increasing testosterone levels is the single most essential pre-workout factor for augmenting anabolic response, it is striking that no product, until now, has combined the two with any effectiveness. The innovative product development team at BioQuest has addressed this void with a remarkable new pre-workout product that contains, among numerous key compounds, one core ingredient that is aimed at dramatically elevating testosterone and its actions in skeletal muscle. Appropriately called AndroFury, it includes precise therapeutic dosing of everything I mentioned, but with an anabolic twist. AndroFury features a powerful protodioscin-rich botanical extract that has been shown to effectively elevate testosterone levels, and its precursor luteinizing hormone (LH), along with dehydroepiandrosterone. In addition, the researchers included 800 mg of L-carnitine L-tartrate (LCLT), which has been shown in human trials to also stimulate LH release (for greater testosterone production) while actually increasing androgen (testosterone) receptor content in skeletal muscle of resistancetrained men. This dual effect of LCLT enables greater testosteroneandrogen receptor interactions in trained muscle, thus amplifying training-induced anabolism. You should now have a basic understanding of just how important pre-workout supplements are to your bodybuilding goals. It is clearly the most important category for maximizing results. Hopefully you can use this information to choose the most scientifically advanced pre-workout formula available to take your gains to the next level, which (for reasons stated above), I give top honors to AndroFury by ProSource/BioQuest. In closing, let me say that while Ive been involved with ProSource for a long time now as its research consultant, and have written many articles for them, this topic (and AndroFury specifically), has me particularly excited. In fact, I would go as far as to say this may well be one of the biggest innovations Ive seen in a number of years and will clearly be a big part of my pre-workout regimen moving forward. 155

Targets Virtually Every Mechanism for Boosting Maximum Increases in Testosterone Levels

The Extreme Test Stack II includes:


1 bottle of AndroTest (60 tabs)
The core of this stack is, of course, the super-potent, clinically tested AndroTest from ProSource. In a major product-specific clinical study, subjects taking AndroTest experienced significant gains in both free and total testosterone, and whats more, they sustained these increases over the course of the 4-week study. Sustained increases in testosterone are the most fundamental hormonal requirement for enhancing muscle growth. AndroTest contains pure Bulgarian Tribulus terrestris standardized to an unmatched amount of the bioactive compound protodioscin (40% to 48%). The main action of protodioscin is to increase luteinizing hormone (LH), which then stimulates production of testosterone. Thus, AndroTest primarily acts to optimize the natural production of testosterone by stimulating the bodys innate system of testosterone regulation. No other natural T-booster comes close to this potency and action.

1 bottle of ZMA (90 caps)

A key support component to AndroTest is ProSource ZMA. ZMA is a highly absorbable combination of zinc and magnesium aspartate along with B-6 that has been shown in studies to enhance muscle strength.

Extreme Bodybuilding System


Super-Fast-Acting Mass-Building Stack!

y stacking their two extraordinary mass-building, whey hydrolysate formulations, MyoZene and MyoZene UltraPro, with the increased androgen receptor activity of AndroCept, BioQuest has created a literal super-power stack that delivers an unsurpassed synergy for rapid muscular growth.

These proven bioactives provide a swift anabolic action in conjunction with the protein hydrolysate to set off a cascade of positive effects that are involved in directly promoting size and strength gains. Bodybuilders have been so fired up with the results that they are adding both of these elite mass builders to their supplementation protocols. The R&D guys at BioQuest decided to take this super stack one huge step further and add the unique growth catalyst AndroCept to the mix.

The Extreme Bodybuilding System includes:


1 container of MyoZene (4.22 lbs)
Its the premium-quality ultra-hydrolyzed whey protein isolate in both MyoZene and MyoZene UltraPro that makes these formulations the most potent and powerful muscle-building supplements available today. To start with, MyoZene contains premium quality protein that goes a huge step beyond the others by rendering very low-molecular weight di- and tripeptides that are ideal nutritional support following the rigors of training. In addition, MyoZene contains the critical amino acid L-leucine as well as micro-pure creatine and highly bioavailable N-acetyl-L-glutamine. These instrumental ingredients help support MyoZenes mass-building action and in the process earn the hardcore loyalty of bodybuilders and athletes from amateur to professional ranks as evidenced by its best-selling status in the Post-Workout and Mass-Building categories. Further validation of its amazing effectiveness was documented in clinical research in the form of a study conducted by medical and physiology researchers in Miami Florida and presented at a high-profile conference of the prestigious American College of Sports Medicine. The subjects were experienced weightlifters who underwent upper and lower body strength testing and body composition analysis followed by a six-day-per-week split body part exercise routine for a month. Within the tests time frame (one month), the MyoZene-receiving subjects experienced gains of 24% in strength/muscular endurance at the mid-study point and 32% at the end of the study. For this group to get results like that in such a relatively brief period of time is exceptional. Clearly, ultra-advanced MyoZene represents an anabolic powerhouse beyond any other product of its kind and as a result is the focal formula of this potent stack.

1 bottle of AndroCept (120 caps)

AndroCepts unique ability to promote androgen receptor activation in lean muscle helps maximize the effects of your bodys own natural testosterone. AndroCept incorporates a special form of l-carnitine l-tartrate to create an optimum environment for mass-building results. A number of studies have shown that l-carnitine l-tartrate helps to upregulate androgen receptor activity. And AndroCept delivers a large dose of this ultra-critical ingredient, which is designed solely to help maximize support of testosterone. This creates another pathway to anabolic success. The Extreme Bodybuilding System offers athletes an exciting opportunity to experience truly rapid and extraordinary mass-building gains. Add this powerful stack to your regimen today and let the dramatic transformation begin!

2 containers of MyoZene UltraPro (2 lbs ea.)

While the original MyoZene is primarily a post-workout formula, MyoZene UltraPro was developed for use throughout the day, for increased nitrogen retention and optimal muscle protein synthesis. It combines this powerful hydrolyzed protein with high doses of leucine, taurine, and hydroxyisoleucine, without a large carb load, like the original, making it the perfect all-day protein formula. In addition to the amazing power of the whey hydrolysate protein, the high doses of leucine in this state-of-the-art formula go to work promoting increases in protein synthesis. The L-taurine in UltraPro serves a similar purpose as leucine, while also allowing for greater cell volumization and the 4-hydroxyisoleucine is added for enhanced insulinogenic activity.

The Extreme Bodybuilding System also contains a comprehensive manual detailing the times and usage, along with training and diet tips for maximum results.
