Current Supplements:
Twinlab Daily One Caps, 180 Capsules
Started: Feb 01, 2006
Reason: i believe in taking a food Multivitmain/Mineral as it is essential when you are working out, your needs them as you deplete alot of vitmains and minerals when you train, as you also know we dont get a sufficient amount from the foods we eat.
Species Nutrition Lipolyze, 90 Capsules
Started: Jan 17, 2007
Reason: LIPOLYZE can be best categorized as a caloric wasting compound .&nbspWhereas most fat burning formulations on todayâ??s market depend on stimulants such as ephedra (rarely seen today), caffeine, and synephrine at SPECIES, we reject the premise that the only effective way to burn fat is to â??stimulateâ?? the body into submission.&nbspWhile stimulants do increase metabolic rate, they also increase the production of catabolic (muscle wasting) hormones such as cortisol.&nbspAs cortisol levels rise in the body, lean muscle tissue is broken down, immune system function is suppressed and dangerous abdominal belly fat deposition is increased.


Remember, the quantity of lean muscle in the body is highly correlated with the basal metabolic rate (BMR).&nbspLess muscle means a lower BMR!&nbspIf stimulant-based fat burners are used to help shed unwanted body fat, thereâ??s a very good chance that, once theyâ??re discontinued, metabolic rate will be significantly lower and the predisposition to gain unwanted body fat will be significantly higher.

If this scenario wasnâ??t bad enough, consider this stimulants raise blood pressure, increase heart rate, and increase anxiety levels.&nbspTherefore, individuals with a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or brain chemistry abnormalities should certainly steer clear of these compounds.

In the following paragraphs, I will explain how five unique herbal compounds work in synergism to create the extremely potent, non-stimulant based, fat burner that we find in LIPOLYZE.
Species Nutrition Isolyze, 2 Lbs., Vanilla Peanut Butter
Started: Feb 01, 2007
Reason: The best Tasting Highest Quality Grade Whey Protein isolate you will ever have!!

I think Whey protein is beneficial for directly after your workout as your body needs those quick and fast absorbing amino acids to start the growth and anabolic process of lean muscle in your body

i also use the Whey Protein mixed with Oatmeal OR a waxy maize product like Species Carbolyze before a workout as an added meal to my daily intake with 1tbs of Macadamia Nut Oil, The Added Fat Slows the absorption of the Protein into the bloodstream so you have a steady trickle of Amino Acids to prevent muscle breakdown!!
Species Nutrition Macadamia Nut Oil, 500mL
Started: Jul 21, 2007
Reason: Macadamia nut oil has the highest concentration of monounsaturated fats (oleic acid) than any other available oil. This incredible omega-9 fat, oleic acid, has documented cancer preventative and heart protective properties. In fact, itâ??s considered the gold standard for reducing inflammation and restoring health to our internal environment. Macadamia nut oil is so high in monounsaturated fats (84-85%) that it even surpasses extra virgin olive oil (65-74%).


How about this interesting fact? Our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate an equal balance (1:1 ratio) of linoleic acid (Omega-6) to alpha linolenic acid (Omega-3) essential fatty acids (EFAs). Junk food, rampant vegetable oil use, and the feeding of grain to food animals (even fish) have resulted in our current consumption ratios rising to a scary 20:1 ratio.


Whatâ??s the best source of essential fatty acids (EFAs) that delivers an equivalent amount of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fats? Flax seed oil, you might suggest? The answer is a resounding, NO! Flax seed oil, while being a healthy source of Omega-3 fats, has a very low percentage of Omega-6 fats. Macadamia nut oil has the perfect ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids, 1:1.


With regard to cooking, macadamia nut oil has an extremely high smoke point (410 degrees), which means itâ??s excellent for stir-fry and baking. Olive oil has a much lower smoke point (325 degrees or less) and it degrades when used in cooking.


Finally, macadamia nut oil has a sweet buttery taste, is resistant to oxidation, and is extremely high in vitamin E (four times higher than olive oil) making it the ideal heart-healthy, performance-enhancing, fat
Species Nutrition Somalyze, 90 Capsules
Started: Aug 18, 2007
Reason: SOMALYZE is a non-stimulant based fat burner that, simultaneously, functions as a sleep aid.&nbspThe following paragraphs describe the unique blend of ingredients in SOMALYZE and the complex mechanisms of how they function to metabolize fat while you sleep.
Species Nutrition Fiberlyze, 360 Grams, Fruit Punch
Started: Feb 06, 2008
Reason: IBERLYZE is a unique combination fiber supplement that contains both soluble and insoluble fiber.


Itâ??s been shown that the inclusion of soluble fiber from psyllium can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease by suppressing cholesterol synthesis in the liver and reducing blood levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.&nbspAnd less LDL cholesterol means less atherogenic plaques in the blood vessels.


What most people donâ??t know is that soluble fiber is also instrumental in any successful weightloss program.&nbspWhat?&nbspFiber burns fat?&nbspWell, the beneficial bacteria of the colon have the ability to ferment soluble fiber.&nbspWhen this occurs, short chain fatty acids are liberated.&nbspThese short chain fats can then enter the portal blood circulation and travel to the liver where they decrease the liverâ??s output of glucose.&nbspLess circulating glucose means that less insulin is released and lower insulin levels in the blood mean that less fat is stored.


Not to be forgotten, diets that include sources of insoluble fiber also have tremendous health and performance benefits. Insoluble fiber promotes regular bowel movements, removes toxic wastes from the colon, and prevents colon cancer by maintaining optimal pHâ??s in the intestines.&nbspAnd when the colon is healthy and toxins are being efficiently removed from the body, muscle can be synthesized and repaired at maximal rates.

Species Nutrition Omegalyze, 180 Softgels
Started: Jul 01, 2008
Reason: contains an ideal ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These fats, also known as the essential fatty acids (EFAs), help to lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation, optimize hormone levels, and maximize muscle growth and repair. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats are considered essential fatty acids (EFAs) since they are essential to human health. Because they canâ??t be manufactured by the body, they must be obtained from the diet. &nbspA healthy diet should consist of roughly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. The typical American diet tends to contain 14 - 25 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids, and many researchers believe this imbalance is a significant factor in the rising rate of chronic inflammatory disorders in the United States. Numerous reliable studies show that adding omega-3 fatty acids to the diet can reduce the risk factors for coronary heart disease, arthritis, and certain cancers. Furthermore, many studies strongly suggest omega-3 fatty acids play a vital role in proper cognitive function (memory and thinking). &nbspFor example, people who are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids demonstrate poor memory, mood swings, excess fatigue and other health related problems. You can balance your essential fatty acid levels in one simple bottle with OMEGALYZEâ?¢.
Species Nutrition Carbolyze, 4.4 Lbs., Banana
Started: Oct 25, 2008
Reason: Carbolyze has the unique ability to rapidly shuttle nutrients, as well as other performance supplements (e.g. creatine), through the stomach and into the bloodstream where they are then delivered directly to the working muscles to boost performance, increase recovery time, and stimulate protein synthesis. Welcome to the future of carbohydrate replacement drinks!

Waxy maize starch is a long-chain, high molecular weight, carbohydrate thatâ??s 100 times larger than maltodextrin and 3000 times bigger than dextrose. Waxy maize starch is sugar-free, yet moves through the stomach 80% faster than either dextrose or maltodextrin and helps facilitate rapid glycogen resynthesis and nutrient uptake into the muscles. Gone are the days of bloating and cramping!
Species Nutrition Arthrolyze, 300 Capsules
Started: Nov 23, 2008
Reason: RTHROLYZE contains key raw materials necessary for complete joint and connective tissue repair. Only the highest potency ingredients with maximum effective dosages are provided for fast, efficient, resynthesis of damaged cartilage, ligaments and tendons. No other joint repair formula on the market has the high potency dosages in ARTHROLYZE!
