Blox by BPI Sports

February 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment

BPI Sports is trying to take amino acid supplementation to the next level with their “silk amino acids” or SAAs. These amino acids, the building blocks for muscle tissues, have been sequenced in a way that ideally causes increased muscle resynthesis, shortens the recovery needed between and during workouts, and boosts your overall testosterone level. With these three improvements, Blox intendeds to help you grow bigger muscles.

Blox Scientific Backing

Silk amino acids are scientifically known as sericin, which is a water-soluble protein. Being water-soluble means that digestion and absorption will be easier. The protein’s solubility will allow its passage through your digestive tract and blood stream to be easier since these cells and areas are primarily composed of water. SAAs are created from silkworm weaving and is the sticky substance found around the silk. This process creates proteins that are perfectly sequenced in a series of 16 chains of single amino acids; however, BPI sports states 5 specific amino acids, when found in a precise sequence and ratio, elicit an optimal response.

The five amino acids are alanine, glycine, serine, valine, and threonine. Research into the effectiveness of SAAs in humans is currently very limited; however, a recent study in mice has shown astonishing results. When given SSAs, mice exercise twice as long as those that did not receive the SSAs. Performance gains improved by 600 percent. Blood lactate (a marker of fatigue) stayed lower in those taking SSAs. Testosterone levels (muscle building hormone)improved by 64 percent while cortisol levels(muscle breaking hormone) were reduced. An overall 16-percent size increase was also noticed in mice that took SAAs.

While this study was only performed on a small rodents, its findings appear promising for use in people trying to build muscle. Hopefully future research will show that it is helpful to the same degree in humans as well. It may be something worth a try if you’re looking for a competitive edge, but talk with your doctor first.

Manufacture Suggested Use for Blox

Measure out one scoop of Blox and pour into an 8 oz glass of water.

  • Mix powdered Blox into water with spoon until Blox powder has dissolved completely.
  • Consume immediately post-workout for maximal absorption. The mixing phase should occur after the workout as well because you’ll want to drink Blox immediately upon mixing.
  • On non-workout days, take one serving of BPI Sports Blox on an empty stomach.

BPI Blox Ingredients

SSA Sequenced Proteins – A total of 3,960mg which includes: Alanine, Glycine, Serine, Valine, Threonine.

Friction by VPX Review

December 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Friction by VPX

Buy Friction HERE – $27.95

 

Introduction

Friction by VPX Sports is a state of the art pre-workout supplement aimed at sparking extreme intensity during training sessions. Unlike other pre-workout products, Friction comes with 30 full doses – one scoop per dose.

 

How does Friction Work?

Like most pre-workout supplements, Friction comes in a powdered form that mixes easily with water. It is an extremely potent stimulant with thermogenic properties to enhance strength, pumps and intensity in the gym. The following ingredients are incorporated into the Friction blend:

Creatine Monohydrate - Nitrogenous organic acid that helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. Helps support and promote lean muscle mass.

Beta-Alanine - A non essential amino acid pivotal to increasing muscular strength, power output, muscle mass, and endurance. It is also associated with delay in muscle fatigue – so you can train harder for longer.

Caffeine - Stimulant to keep you alert and focused.

B-Phenylethylamine - A natural monoamine alkaloid which functions as a neuromodulator to enhance mood and wakefulness, as well as, stimulate fat loss.

Yohimbine - An all natural alkaloid with stimulant and aphrodisiac effects.

Halostachine - A stimulating agent with intense thermogenic properties.

Pros and Cons 

Pros:

1. Increased wakefulness, alertness and
focus

2. Significant increases in intensity
and stamina during workouts

3. Delayed onset of muscle fatigue –
train harder for longer.

Cons:

1. Potential overstimulation which is
associated with anxiety and anxiety-related physical symptoms such as elevated
pulse, elevated blood pressure, sweating and abdominal cramps.

2. Increases risk of dehydration.

 

Conclusion

Because Friction by VPX Sports is new to the market, there is a lack of user testimonials. So while Friction has the potential to be a very effective and powerful pre-workout supplement, we can’t be positive as to what users may experience. However, unlike many pre-workouts, Friction only requires one scoop per dose – so it seems that it is extremely potent.

Compound 20 Review

December 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Introduction

Compound 20 by USP Labs is a leaning and hardening cocktail designed to enhance strength gains, accelerate loss of body fat and increase explosive intensity during workouts.

 

How does Compound 20 Work?

Compound 20 comes in a convenient capsule form which is meant to be taken before meals for complete absorption; however, some users have suggested dosing on an empty stomach prior to training sessions.

 

USP Labs promotes Compound 20 as an all-natural version of Clenbuterol, a powerful pharmaceutical Beta 2-Agonist. Clenbuterol promotes fat loss by stimulating beta-2 receptors, which allow your body to release and burn stored fat at a higher rate. Thus, it is believed that Compound 20 mimics this action to achieve weight loss results.

 

Compound 20 by USP Labs is a proprietary blend; therefore, the percent composition of the three following ingredients is unknown:

  1. Symplocos Racemosa Extract (Bark)
  2. N-Coumaroyldopamine
  3. N-Caffeoyldopamine

 

Does Compound 20 Deliver?

Beta testers for Compound 20 have given it positive overall reviews. Users reported noticeable strength gains shortly after beginning dosing regimens. Testers also reported enhanced hardness and vascularity for extended periods of time post-workouts. The evidence of this product’s effectiveness is apparent in numerous user videos and before and after photos – the transformations are incredible.

 

How Much Weight Will I Lose?

Compound 20 has been designed to help promote and sustain lean muscle mass while simultaneously cutting fat. The majority of testers reported positive results to this claim which again is evident in trial videos and photographs. Weight loss is significant while using Compound 20 by USP Labs.

 

Side Effects

Some users experienced some noticeable side effects at the beginning of their Compound 20 trial; however, they also reported the disappearance of these symptoms as the trial continued. These users reported some stomach upset when they first tried dosing on an empty stomach prior to training sessions. Additionally, some users have experienced significant increases in libido and sex drive during the first few weeks of dosing; however, the majority of testers have claimed to have experienced no side effects at all. Either way, it’s always smart to consult your physician before beginning any new supplement regimen.

 

Pros and Cons 

Pros:

  1. Significant increase in strength
    gains
  2. Enhanced hardness and vascularity
  3. Explosive workouts

Cons:

  1. Some stomach upset has been
    reported
  2. May take awhile to “kick in”

 

Conclusion

Compound 20 by USP Labs has shown to be effective in maintaining muscle tone and strength while also ridding the body of unwanted fat. While there have been a few reports of stomach upset, there have been no serious side effects reported. For many, Compound 20 by USP Labs has been a complete game changer.

Hyper FX Review

November 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Hyper FX

Click here to buy Hyper FX for only $19.95

 

Introduction

BSN® came up with yet another highly concentrated pre-workout energy booster that is supposed to provide high intensity, endurance, focus and mental alertness to the athletes. It also has fat burning capacity, making it a supplement that can help with weight loss.

 

How does Hyper FX Work?

Hyper FX is an effervescent concentrated fruit flavored drink that contains a number of ingredients combined in a proprietary mix. Listed are just some of the more important components:

 

Beta-alanine boosts synthesis of amino acid carnosine, which is responsible for muscle endurance, strength, muscle mass and prolonged energy.

Taurine is an amino acid that helps regulate the level of salt and water in the blood and has antioxidant properties. Combined with caffeine, it is supposed to boost mental performance and focus, but the findings are controversial.

Adenosine is a nucleotide that plays role in tissue repair and reconstruction and plays an important role in energy transfer.

Choline Bitartrate increases acetylcholine neurotransmitter levels and as such improves mental focus and alertness.

Caffeine is commonly present in all energy supplements as an energy booster.

Bitter Orange Extract is stimulant and appetite suppressant. Its active ingredient synephrine is chemically similar to ephedrine, which is illegal, can cause heart arrhythmias and has been known to cause heart attack in healthy young men.

Toothed (Chinese) club moss, or its active ingredient huperzine, is used for treating memory problems and Alzheimer’s disease. As a supplement it is used to prevent swelling, fever and as a diuretic.

Lesser Periwinkle is used for better blood circulation, especially of the brain. It enhances metabolism in the brain and helps in treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This plant contains more than 50 active alkaloids with different effects.

 

Does Hyper FX Deliver?

This supplement is still very new and there are not too many people who tried and reviewed it, but those who did had positive experience, showing quick energy surge and great focus.

 

How Much Weight Will I Lose?

Several ingredients in this supplement act as appetite suppressant and metabolism boosters, so the potential for the weight loss is there. There is not enough experience with it to know just how much weight one can expect to lose.

 

Side Effects

While no negative side effects have been reported, several ingredients have potential for causing serious health problems, especially synephrine, an active ingredient in bitter orange concentrate. It is always a good idea to consult a physician before starting with a new supplement.  Show your doctor the ingredients and he will tell you if some of them might be counteindicative for your health condition.

 

Pros and Cons 

Pros:

  1. Quick energy boost
  2. Great focus and alertness
  3. Interesting taste

Cons:

  1. None known yet

 

Conclusion

Hyper FX is a veritable soup of powerful active ingredients. It has the potential to deliver what it promises, including weight loss, and the time will tell if it actually offers something different and new from other similar pre-workout supplements.

Slim FX by Athletic Xtreme Reviewed

November 3, 2011 By 3 Comments

Click Here to Buy Slim FX for $26.95

 

Introduction

Slim FX is advertised as a wonder pill that will provide 12 hours of energy, great  mood and low appetite. It is recommended as a stimulant for athletes, but also for anyone who needs enhanced energy and weight loss induced by suppressing appetite. The original FX combination of ingredients offers enough to support its claim – several powerful mood enhancers and a huge quantity of caffeine from two sources. The product is also supposed to work in several stages, so that the energy is maintained throughout the day, without painful crash at the end and normal sleep at night.  The manufacturer promises very quick results when it comes to weight loss and no side effects.

 

How does Slim FX Work?

The main ingredients of Slim FX are stimulants and mood enhancers:

Caffeine is a well known central nervous system stimulant and common ingredient in most energy supplements.

Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid found in many foods that can act as a mood enhancer. Aspartame is also high in phenylalanine, so people who are taking aspartame as artificial sweetener should be careful with the dose. Phenylalanine should not be taken by pregnant women and children because it can cause anxiety, jitteriness, and hyperactivity.

Guaranine is an extract of plant guarana from Brazil. It is a powerful stimulant containing twice the concentration of caffeine of coffee.

Griffonia simplicifolia is a plant-based mood enhancer which acts by boosting body production of serotonin.

1-MeTIQ™ (1-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline)  is another mood enhancer used to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Still under research.

Rauwolscine, also known as isoyohimbine, is a central nervous system stimulant. It can be used as a local anesthetic and a mild aphrodisiac. It has also been found to boosts body’s ability to burn fat.

 

Does Slim FX  Deliver?

With its combination of powerful stimulants and mood enhancers, it is impossible for Slim FX not to offer significant energy boost and great feeling of well-being. If that energy is used for increased exercise, it will probably help with weight loss as well. Some of the ingredients also assist in body’s ability to burn fat by boosting metabolism, another sign that the Slim FX is the real deal.

 

How Much Weight Will I Lose?

There are very few reviews by product testers, and one of them claims to have lost six pounds in a very short time. Time will tell if this is the normal effect of Slim FX, after more users had a chance to have a go.

 

Side Effects
The manufacturer warns that the product should be used only by healthy people older than 21.  It should not be used by people who are under any medication without consulting their doctor. Large quantity of caffeine in this product might affect some people who are sensitive to this stimulant.

 

Pros and Cons 

Pros:
1. Powerful energy booster
2. Great mood enhancer
3. All ingredients are approved and tested
Cons:
1. Unknown, since the product has not hit the market yet

 

Conclusion

Slim FX is the new product untested on the large number of users, so its true effects are still unknown. But, the combination of ingredients show the potential of this product to deliver what it promises – great energy, focus and feeling of well-being. The potential for significant weight loss is good, if taken as a pre-exercise stimulant, but this promise by Xtreme is still to be verified by the users once the product is widely tested by the users.

HydroxyStim Review

October 23, 2011 By 2 Comments

Hydroxystim

HydroxyStim for only $32.95 – BUY NOW

 

Introduction 

HydroxyStim is the latest MuscleTech powerful energy booster and pre-workout stimulant. It is designed to deliver a strong energy surge in order to prolong the workout and enhance its effects. It is not a weight-loss miracle pill, unless the extra energy will entice you to do some extra workout and burn more fat in the process.

 

How does HydroxyStim Work?

HydroxyStim capsules combine five main ingredients, most of them energy boosters.  It works as a thermogenic – it stimulates metabolism by creating heat (energy).  Its main ingredient is Geranium Robertianum, which contains vitamins A, B and C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and germanium. Geranium extract is considered an energy booster and fat burner, and it is claimed to produce energy boosts by mimicking adrenaline, but there is no scientific support for this.

Caffeine Anhydrous is the second most important ingredient of HydroxyStim, for a good reason, as it is the most common and popular energy booster.

Dimethylethanolamine or DMAE is also an energy booster. It also shows results in improving alertness and focus and positive affect on mood.

Yohimbine is a powerful stimulant and may aid in weight loss, but has numerous side effects and is strongly counterindicated to people who suffer from kidney, liver or heart disease or any type of psychological disorder.

Huperzine is usually used to boost memory and is supposed to increase focus.

 

 

Do HydroxyStim Capsules Deliver?

The product is too new to have a range of different experiences, but so far people who used HydroxyStim as an energy booster to improve their workout performance are very satisfied. Most reviews confirm manufacturer’s recommendation to take the capsules shortly before the exercise, after a light meal, and not to combine it with any other stimulant. No significant weight loss has been reported, so those who tried HydroxyStim in order to lose weight without putting time in the gym were disappointed.

 

How Much Weight Will I Lose?

HydroxyStim delivers powerful energy boost, which might encourage users to extend their time in the gym. It does not show any effects on appetite, so the only way it will act as weight loss product is by burning energy by exercise.

 

Side Effects

No negative side effects have been reported so far, except by those who are sensitive to large quantities of caffeine. For those, it is recommended to half the dose and not to combine the capsules with any other product containing caffeine, including coffee and tea.

 

Pros and Cons 

Pros:

  1. Great energy boost
  2. Improved focus during exercise
  3. Original combination of ingredients

Cons:

  1. Large quantity of stimulants may cause jitters and over-stimulation
  2. Contains yohimbine, which is counterindicated for people with heart, kidney or liver problems.

 

Conclusion

Hydroxystim contains an original combination of ingredients, all geared towards boosting energy and enhancing performance in the gym. Customers who expect significant weight loss after using Hydroxystim will be disappointed, unless they are ready to combine capsules with regular exercise and healthy diet – the only true and tried recipe for the healthy weight loss.
