Should Bodybuilders Take Vitamins?

Absolutely! Bodybuilders need supplements more than the average person because we put such a heavy burden on our bodies daily. Also, we may tend to drift into anabolics (both legal and illegal) that carry some pretty heavy side effects. So, what is a good vitamin regimen for the average bodybuilder? I am about to give you what I think is the best supplements that a bodybuilder can take in order of importance. First, you want to take a GOOD multi and just because it comes in a PACK doesn’t mean it is good. Find one from a reliable health food store and have them suggest a good one. Make SURE IT DOESN’T CONTAIN IRON IF YOU ARE A MAN! I happened to LOVE Iron Free Green Source from Vitamin World (available online). It has a high dose of Vitamin C along with chelated minerals and solid doses of everything you need. Second, you need to take a good Vitamin E product, not something in the value isle at your grocery store. Vitamin E has advanced past what you get in a supermarket, there is a new version of vitamin E called High Gamma E. I am not going to explain how it works, just understand that it is a much better form of vitamin E. Vitamin Shoppe carries their own brand of High Gamma Vitamin E (also available online). The next thing that I feel is most important for good health is a solid Fish Oil supplement. Fish Oil is amazing and protects your heart, liver and brain from damage and decay. You can’t take just one though and expect to see any benefit. Fish Oil is cheap and you need to take at least 6 gel caps per day. Steroid users should be taking 12 capsules per day to ward off the liver and heart issues. Now that we have the basics covered, we can move on to more exotic supplements for anti-aging and joint repair. CoQ10 is a enzyme co-factor that is great for keeping your heart and brain healthy and is overall a very good supplement for anyone interested in anti-aging (30-100mg per day). ALA or Alpha Lipoic Acid is even better because this anti-oxidant is also used by body builders to make insulin more active! It actually acts like some prescription insulin potentiators which is a fancy way of saying it makes insulin more effective at carrying nutrients into your body (200-500mg per day with meals). Unfortunately I am sitting here with wrist wraps on while I type this because my wrists are killing me. I guess I shouldn’t under estimate the value of healthy joints, which is why I suggest that ALL bodybuilders take a good Glucosamine and Chondroiton supplement. Watch out for the ones that use Glucosamine HCL instead of Glucosamine Sulfate. You want Glucosamine Sulfate, since that Sulpher molecule is necessary and is the form all of the positive studies used. I am starting 1500mg of Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitan Sulfate per day so I can get back to lifting without pain. There is nothing more sad than seeing an older bodybuilder that hasn’t kept his joints in good health. Finally, if you do take steroids or even just for the health benefits, drink plenty of Pomegranate juice (also available as a supplement, just DO NOT get the one with ellagic acid). Don’t just pick any of them off the shelf, many are “cut” with grape juice which is empty carbs. Vitamin Shoppe has an excellent Pomegranate Extract Juice that can be ordered online. What will this do for you? Well, it shrinks the prostate, cleans clogged arteries and reduces oxidation in the body. It’s truly the drink of champions and NECESSARY for bodybuilders that take anabolic steroids. Well, that wraps it up and I hope that this helps you choose supplements that will keep your health in check. There is no amount of money that can replace a healthy body, so make sure you budget for some good supplements in your quest to get huge!

How To Pick A Quality Sports Supplement

(why GMP should matter to you)

I must warn you of something very dangerous that is a plague on the supplement industry. It’s called NO STANDARDS. Did you know that unless a company uses GMP certified manufacturing, you have no way of knowing the quality and amount of the ingredients in your supplement?

Think I am bullshitting on how wide spread this is? Think of a really good protein bar that hit the market in the last 4 years. Notice that they probably don’t taste like that any more? I can think of three examples off the top of my head (not naming names of course). One was a rich gooey peanut filled bar that hit the market like a monsoon! Ever have one now (3 years later)? You get a hard, dry piece of crap that tastes like garbage. How about my favorite caramel apple bar? Yum they were good with dripping pieces of caramel and nice chunks of apple. I had one the other day and oddly enough there was no caramel, hard apple chips and the bar was a rock. So, without taking down the supplement industry and opening my self up to lawsuits, you the consumer, need to really insist on a new standard for supplements, one that ensures you get what you pay for. The government (about one of the few things they are doing right) is about to issue mandatory GMP certification for dietary supplements, but that is still 1-3 years off, so I HIGHLY suggest you buy ONLY GMP certified today.

GMP is a government standard that assures quality and accuracy in your supplements. A word to the wise, buy ONLY GMP certified supplements, since if you don’t there is no way to know what you are putting into your body. Trust only people that use GMP certified labs to produce its supplement line, so you can believe that the product contains EXACTLY what is on the label.

If you buy some off brand “bargain” supplement, you could be getting saw dust for all you know, and you have not only wasted time but money too! Look for GMP certification (on the bottle) for all of your supplements and nutritional needs. Don’t think it doesn’t happen. There are whole web sites designed to expose supplement companies who do not meet label claims and some of your most popular brands can test out to contain none of the ingredients that you THINK are in the bottle. Trust only the government GMP certification to ensure quality.

Think it doesn’t happen? We just made a new supplement that includes the super nutrient Beta Alanine. We ordered hundreds of kilograms of Beta Alanine and our GMP certified manufacturer called us and flagged 25kg of “stuff” that was not Beta Alanine. We paid good money for this product, but had we not tested, it could have been anything in that 25kg drum. This stuff happens! Just look at the recent issues with pet food. If you didn’t follow it, pet food made with Chinese protein was killing innocent pets. The manufacturers had no idea why until they tested some brands and found that the protein was “contaminated” with something that made it weigh more yet hurt the pets. Why would Chinese manufacturers do this? Well, if the additive weighs more in the same volume, they can charge the same for including less protein in their shipment. This stuff happens and the only remedy is GMP certification. When we made our Methyl 1-Alpha product we had to ship back FIVE batches until we had a product pure enough to make it into our formulations. I STRONGLY encourage you to look for a GMP logo on every supplement you purchase. If not, you may at best be throwing your money down the drain or at worst putting something harmful into your body!

Ok, I am off my soap box for a bit, but it ticks me off that quality companies spend lots of money to make sure their products work, only to get knocked off by people that use low grade manufacturing which is not GMP certified and can contain potentially half the ingredients listed on the bottle. We all pay a lot for our supplements, and I expect that companies would want GMP certification. Ask yourself why they don’t!

Trib Extreme

TRIB EXTREME
LG Sciences Creates the Ultimate Herbal Testosterone Booster



We start with Gold Standardized Extracts of Tribulus Terrestris, combining the proper ratio of raw herb to standardized extract at 40% saponins. This provides the base for our ultimate herbal testosterone boosting formula, but we then add 50:1 standardized extract of Tonkat Ali (better known as Long Jack) to give intense libido enhancement, increased testicular weight and stronger erections. Zinc Asperate is included to give you increased sensitivity to the muscle building effects of testosterone by increasing androgen receptor sensitivity.

NITROS

NITROS™
The Right NO Product for Pumps that Last!

Only the RIGHT Nitric Oxide Booster can burn fat, increase pumps, expand muscle mass and even change your genetics! NITROS™ has the RIGHT blend of Arginine alpha-keto-glutarate (Arginine-AKG), plus other precursors and metabolic enhancers to do all this and more. LG Sciences blends the right ingredients in the right combination to grow bigger, fuller muscles.
All Arginine is not created equal. Some forms of Arginine never make it past your digestive system so they won’t do anything except waste your money. Nitric Oxide can burn fat and is PROVEN to do so when combined with a diet and exercise program. But you need to have the RIGHT product to get this benefit. The right NO product can take every ounce of effort from your workout and multiply the effect of every rep. Your muscles respond almost as if you had done twice the work, twice the reps. You get twice the benefit in strength and mass gains.

In fact, the right NO product can make you feel like you’ve been dealt a completely different hand, genetically. You may have felt limited by the combination of fast and slow twitch muscles you were born with, the number of fat cells vs. muscle cells, the body type you started with.

What if the right NO product could break through those genetic limitations? The right NO product can increase what is called satellite cell expression, which means THE CREATION OF NEW MUSCLE CELLS. What would it mean to your physique if you could actually create NEW MUSCLE CELLS? Only the right combination of nutrients will do this, so forget old school NO products and look to NITROS for the right combination that will push you past your genetic plateaus.

Finally, The Breakthrough NO Extreme Vasodilator!

I’m sure you are starting to see that NITROS™ is way more than just your average Nitric Oxide (NO) booster! In addition to the Arginine AKG, we add our exclusive pump-amplifying complex. This complex maximizes NO production EVEN MORE and enhances conversion so you get the total benefits of rock hard muscles, vascularity beyond your craziest expectations, insane strength gains and even dramatic increases in sex drive and performance. This complete combination of nutrients will get you SUPER vascular and pump your muscles through the stratosphere. You’ll be visibly fuller, visibly harder within hours and our combination keeps producing more NO hour after hour.

And that’s not enough. NITROS™ also enhances nutrient utilization-, which increases workout performance and decreases recuperation time. You’ll workout longer and recover quicker.

With NITROS™, you get:
BIG, Fuller Muscles,
Increased Vascularity and Blood Flow
Full-Body Pumps
Increased Strength, Power and Endurance
Targeted Delivery of Nutrients to muscles cells rather than fat cells
Speedier Recovery from Exercise

LG Sciences gives you the ultimate in GENETIC GROWTH. When you combine all of our products, we will show you how you can CHANGE YOUR MUSCLE DENSITY FOREVER! We give you the science behind every product to show how you can increase satellite cell growth. With NitroS, we can show how NO products create satellite cells to change your genetics and increase hypertrophy. First we need to define how you grow so you understand:

Hypertrophy – building your existing muscle cells (filling them up with protein), this is why you plateau and only grow so much…
Hyperplasia – building NEW muscle cells via satellite cells, this is how you get new muscle growth and push past any genetic plateau.

Each supplement contains the ingredients to cause hypertrophy and hyperplasia and can be combined for even greater growth backed by science:

Formadrol Extreme - Superior Post Cycle Therapy

FORMADROL EXTREME

BOOST YOUR TESTOSTERONE AND PROTECT IT!

Do you see the guys with MAN BOOBS? One of the unpleasant side effects of a really effective Testosterone cycle can be bloat, fat and “gyno”…as your Testosterone converts to Estrogen. Everybody wants the androgenic effects of Testosterone but who wants man boobs?

So how do you increase your Testosterone and protect it from Estrogen conversion? Your Testosterone levels are always under attack – by age, a prohormone or steroid cycle, medications, many thing. Some of these even shut your production down completely. The last thing you need is your dwindling Testosterone turning into Estrogen. Everyone knows Estrogen can totally destroy every gain you get from your reps and all the good your good diet does you.

Every time you try to add more Testosterone with injections, legal steroids, or natural testosterone boosters –your body tries to regain its hormonal balance. It converts your Testosterone into Estrogen.

So now, instead of being primed to build muscle and strength and feeling horny as a goat, you have Estrogen running around building fat, making you lose your hair and turning your motor off. Sometimes, your pituitary gets really confused and TURNS OFF Testosterone production COMPLETELY!

PROTECT YOUR TESTOSTERONE
FORMADROL EXTREME™ ups your Testosterone levels, blocks Estrogen conversion and helps you create your own Testosterone, naturally. ,It’s the most powerful Anti-Estrogen, Pro-Testosterone Complex we could find. FORMADROL EXTREME™ combines two ferocious anti-estrogen ingredients absolutely obliterate it while increasing Testosterone at the same time.

We combine a suicide inhibitor that attaches itself to the Aromatase enzyme. That’s the enzyme that tells your body to convert Testosterone to Estrogen and even worse, STOP producing Testosterone. And you know what kind of effect that will have – less hard body all the way around, less libido.

So we start by destroying that enzyme which blocks Estrogen conversion, which blocks water weight, fat gains and other negative effects. So far so good. The second ingredient blocks Estrogen too AND increases Testosterone. First, it reduces the production of ANY and ALL estrogen in the body causes you to SIGNIFICANTLY increase Testosterone production, naturally. Some studies show Testosterone Levels up 500%!

This same dynamite ingredient normalize your T-levels – which is particularly important if you’ve just finished a steroid or pro-hormone cycle that jacked up your Testosterone level. Without this, your body could SHUT DOWN TESTOSTERONE PRODUCTION!

You don’t have to worry about TESTOSTERONE shut down with FORMADROL EXTREME™. It skyrockets your TESTOSTERONE naturally and safely. Clinical studies with one of the main ingredients in FORMADROL EXTREME™ showed increases over 500% higher bioavailable testosterone than any other Testosterone booster available. And it did it in record time – in less than 2 weeks! If that wasn’t enough, Estradiol was slashed more than 50% on average in ALL subjects in the first week alone.

And as a bonus, studies show, one of our ingredients may help increase IGF-1 levels, which is an anabolic coveted in the very hard-core anabolic circles.

NO-Infuse - Site Specific N.O. Pumps!

NO-Infuse is a powerful combination of NO potentiators, as well as other vial compounds that is designed to increase muscular endurance, speed recovery, and provide vital nutrients to the specific muscles you are working that day.When applied pre-workout, NO Infuse goes to work, increasing the blood flow to that area, and raising the temperature of the local area. This means that when you work out, waste products such as lactic acid and others are being removed at a faster rate, allowing you to workout harder, and push your muscles further than ever before! If you think you have seen pumps, trust me my friend, you have seen NOTHING yet. This is a product you can see working. Forget all about swallowing a few pills and hoping they are doing something. With NO-Infuse, within 15 minutes of applying, you will SEE huge increases in vascularity, and once you start moving the weights, look out! One testers feedback went as far as to call them “shirt busting pumps”!
