Whey Protein

>> Monday, December 1, 2008

When you sleep at night, your body is actually fasting for 7-9 hours. Therefore, when up to sleep in the morning, the body starts breaking the protein for muscle power or be called by the katabolic. To obstruct this process required 40 grams of whey protein. Whey protein, including a fast and easily absorbed by the body, especially if you choose whey protein isolate or whey protein powder hydrolityc. Amino acids from whey permeate quickly in your blood to form energy, muscle protein as a substitute. Amino is not used as energy, but to build muscle body.

Whey protein consists of peptides which help accelerate blood circulation to the muscle to increase in haulage amino whey and also increase the hormone testosterone. This is very important when you wake up the morning, because in the morning when you wake hormone testosterone are on the highest level. The type of whey protein, plus the rapid absorption if the hormone testosterone level that high would make a good muscle growth.

Feed needs will be for the muscle protein in the morning is very high and consumption of amino fast absorption is one of the best solutions. Amino guarantee the needs of protein and amino acid supply for the cells, tissues and organs in the body to better health. The type of amino fast absorption is derived from the protein isolate, a high content of BCAAs, have a certain amino acid full (essential and non-essential) and contains a natural digestive enzyme that is able to assist the absorption of protein and assimilated into the body to become faster and better.

When you chew less suitable amino pills, the consumption of amino only in the form of liquid concentrate (liquid amino) from whey protein isolate that certainly react more quickly absorbed another body. Consumption of the recommended dose is 40 grams protein, whey or 50 ml of liquid amino.

Carbohydrate quickly absorbed

In the evening, your heart manage the glycogen (muscle sugar) to provide energy in the body when not activity. Glycogen when a backup will be on the low point and at the heart we will take action to muscle protein to provide energy in our body. Therefore, you wake up every morning would feel thirsty and want to drink something that can immediately refresh the body and drink that is needed is fast carbohydrate absorption. Carbohydrate absorption will be quick to give our hearts glycogen quickly and will stop the activity of protein in the liver using muscle power as we. Consumption will also change the phase katabolic (muscle rupture) to phase anabolic (the formation of muscle).
Carbohydrate is quickly absorbed through the stomach will go to the intestine where it is absorbed and carbohydrates into the blood stream and go to the heart. This will help reduce levels of cortisol (a hormone katabolic or to decrease muscle). Dose of carbohydrate consumption of fast absorption is the recommended 40-60 grams, or can be mixed into the whey protein.

L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine is a supplement of amino acids that we have the ability to change into fat cells Mitochondrial that burned to generate energy for the body. So L-Carnitine plays an important role in the metabolism of fat into energy. Science has stated that L-Carnitine can increase the number of recipients in the muscles androgen that can increase your level of testosterone.

Because testosterone level is the highest when you wake up the morning, the developed L-carnitine can improve testosterone to boost muscle growth. Research also proved that consumption of L-Carnitine can improve blood flow to the muscles that are more useful to procure testosterone in place that are needed. Eat L-Carnitine with whey protein and carbohydrate absorption is quick steps appropriate because the increase in the number of insulin caused by the carbohydrate and protein will help incorporate L-carnitine to your muscles. Consumption of the recommended dose is 1-3 grams of L-Carnitine

whether Food supplement is safe?

>> Sunday, November 30, 2008

Overall, the experts stated that the health food supplements safe for consumption. Of course, the reason for the use of substances and substance-natural ingredients in the food supplements. Moreover, some supplement manufacturers have been conducting intensive research on various supplements their product.

However, keep in mind, although food supplement proven safe and that does not mean you can avoid conventional medicine and rely on regular food supplements. Always consult your doctor first to the condition if you consume supplements before the doctor or if you intend to combine food supplements along with medicines for your health care. For example, the suggestion is very important for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Benefit of Food Supplement

The People's consume food supplement in some health conditions. Consumption, and multymineral useful as a dietary supplement and treatment of disease. For example, Vitamin C believed to be able to prevent and mitigate fever. Some research on natural supplements products from plants and animals show the same efficacy with conventional medicines. But of course there is also considered less effective or even dangerous.

According to history, humans have been utilizing the traditional treatment to prevent disease, cure the infection, ease fever, and wound healing. Medicines from natural plants could also prevent constipation, ease pain (painkiller), or working as an ingredient back stop stress and stimulation. Some research indicates that natural materials have proved useful. For example, glucosamine, which proved useful in the treatment or cure osteoarthritis (joint inflammation).

Soy Protein

>> Monday, October 27, 2008

Soy Protein is a protein powder derived from soybean. Why should soybean, and not other sources of vegetable? Because soybean protein content have a very high if compared with other vegetable sources, and also because of soybean available once more (easily obtained) and has several other benefits
In the form of powder, protein, soybean, which has a very pure protein content of 92%. it is also a source of BCAA (branch-chained amino acids) that many glutamine and isoflavone.
Isoflavone is a substance that genistein and daidzein in soybean and has a chemical structure similar to estrogen. In the menopause women, irrespective of calcium from bones and the absorption of calcium from food, and will raise the risk of osteoporosis. Scientific research found: Women who menopause is consumted isoflavone from soybean can make the absorption of calcium from food, and so better to keep calcium from the bone is not lost. Results of this research to make soy protein supplements is preferred by women athletes and male athletes can also consumption.

ZMA

>> Sunday, October 19, 2008

ZMA contains 3 components:
Zinc monomethionine aspartate
Magnesium aspartate
Vitamin B6
It is a natural product that has been clinically proven to increase anabolic hormone levels and body muscle strength in athletes. Magnesium and Zinc was easily lost from the body after conducting training activities that heavy burden. Research shows that supplementation ZINC with 30 mg of magnesium and 40mg per day can increase the body's testosterone level reached 30%. Research on ZMA, which is the most frequently discussed research on the NCAA football players. Lorrie Brilla.PhD, sports performance researchers at the University of Western Washington reported that ZMA significantly increase the level of free testosterone and muscle strength in the NCAA football players. the results of this research was indicated by Dr. Brilla at the annual meeting of American College of Sports Medicine in Seatle and publish in journals in the ACSM. In particular Brilla reported that a group of football players use ZMA, which peters every night during the eight-week spring training program to get increased muscle strength as much as 2.5 times higher than the group that did not use, Measuring the strength of leg muscles before and after it is done by using dinamometer Biodex Isokinetic, leg muscle strength of the ZMA increased 11.6% compared with 4.6% of the groups that do not use ZMA. This means that if we can increase our barbel of 10 pounds in the Bench press in 8 weeks without ZMA, then we actually can be international to 25 pounds if we use ZMA. Brilla also explain further "increase in muscle strength resulting from the increase anabolic hormone the body to consume ZMA.

ZMA user groups get 30% increase in the level of free testosterone and the total compared with a decrease in testosterone levels as much as 10%, which is a group that does not use ZMA. groups that use ZMA also experienced increased hormone IGF-1 (insulin growth factor-1) compared with a decrease of 20% in the group that did not use ZMA. This study showed that anabolic hormone and muscle strength can be improved on the athletes who have trained with the preparation of ZMA, another advantage of ZMA is a good night's sleep. ZMA is required by the fitness mania and athlete, who want to improve energy, athletic performance and increase muscle mass. Research also shows most athletes have a rate of ZINC, magnesium and vitamin B6, which is very low. This is not a good thing for athletes because of lack of 3 elements that will lower the performance, muscle endurance, work capacity and muscle. ZMA the correct usage is 3 capsule before bed for men and 2 capsule before bed for women. ZMA safe for consumption because it is a combination of vitamins, minerals, which increase anabolic hormone the body naturally, without the element of synthetic hormones

Essential Amino Acids

>> Wednesday, October 15, 2008

What are the essential things in life? A nice house? A steady paying job? A fitness model with glutes that only Leonardo Da vinci could have conceived hanging by your side? Clearly it’s a though question to answer. But when it comes to what’s essential for you muscle’s anabolic cycle of life, the answer is easy. In fact,it’s so obvious that you’ll give your self a roundhouse kick in frustration. What is it?


The Essential Amino Acids

Gaining muscle has been made easier with the advent of scientific findings. you have at your disposal and assortment of diet and supplement choices that will lead you closer to your physique goals.

Creatine supplementation can increase muscle fiber size and improve strength and power. If you don’t eat enough protein you’d get shrinkage worse than George Constanza emerging from a cold lake. You must, I repeat, You must add another efficacious supplement to your list: Essential Amino Acid

The essential amino acid or EAAs for short, are those amino acids that are not made by your body. Hence you need to get them from your diet, these include Phenylalanine, Valine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Isoleucine, Methionine, Lysine, and Leucine.

A study from Texas looked a how powerful the EAAs truly are. They took research subject and had them perform an exercise training routine that consisted of: 10 sets x 8 repetition of leg press at 80 percent of their maximum and 8 sets x 8 rep of leg extension at 80% of max. The rest interval between sets was 2 minutes and the entire leg workout took about 45 to 50 minutes. Not exactly a typical leg day but it’s better than a fork in the eye.

What did these brainiacs find?

Consuming a mixture of EAAs significantly increased blood levels of amino acids. But more importantly, total net phenylalanine uptake across the leg was 158 percent greater when the EAAs were taken before versus after the training bout.

Interestingly, EAAs seem to exert a positive effect on protein metabolism without the presence of the other non- EAAs for instance a 40 gram solution of EAAs was found to improve net muscle protein balance thus indication a possible anabolic effect.

And for further show the versatility of these amino acids, a study from the University of Nebraska has shown that supplementation with EAAs may have an ergogenic effect.
Scientist studied a group of women who consumed either 18 gram of EAAs or placebo daily for 6 weeks. Each woman performed a split routine, multipleset weight training regimen three times weekly as well as aerobic training three times weekly for 20 minutes per session.

The result of this investigation showed no effect on body weight or body fat levels; how ever, treadmill time to exhaustion improved more in the EAA group and although it was not quite statistically significant, total weight lifted by the EAA group improved more than the placebo group.

So clearly if you want to increase muscle protein gain you may want to ingest EAAs and mixing it with a high glycemic index sugar might help as well. Some might suggest eating whole foods is the same thing. Wrong! There are no whole food’s that contain just the EAAs! In terms of efficiency, you are better off consuming 6 grams of EAAs then consuming whole protein.
Let me repeat. There are reasons why supplements are the better choice. The convenience factor is one of them. Also, there are no single foods thet are purely essentially amino acids. And of course there is the issue of digestibility.

My advice to you: consume the essential amino acids before training. It will stimulate muscle mass gain but for those of you who have sensitive stomachs, make sure you have a post work out meal right after training. Make it roughly 500 calories wiyh roughly equal protein and carbs. Add some glutamine for immune support. Drop in a teaspoon of flax oil or peanut butter, and you’re good to go.
