Thermogenic Aid: Lipo-6 - The Award Winning Fat Burner
Thermogenic aids, fat burners, as the layman calls them, are supplements which enhance the utilization of fat for fuel, a process called lipolysis. While a number of active ingredients can be purchased individually, many of the popular brands are formulas which are comprised of multiple active ingredients. The most effective formulas typically include synephrine and caffeine, which are both stimulants and therefore serve to speed up the metabolism.
Synephrine is the main "active" compound found in the fruit of a plant called Citrus aurantium. It is chemically similar to ephedrine but as not been associated with the same health risks. As such, some supplement companies have adopted it for their thermogenic formulas, having dropped ephedrine as an ingredient.
Lipo-6 contains both synephrine and caffeine in addition to yohimbe, bioperine, and guggulsterones. Yohimbe is an alkaloid found in the inner bark of a tree that grows in Africa. Multiple studies have found that yohimbine increases the amount of non-esterfied fatty acids, a product of lipolysis, in the bloodstream in both lean and obese individuals.
Bioperine is an extract from black pepper, which enhances the bioavailability of other nutrients and thus enhance the absorption of those nutrients.
Guggulsterones are a mixture of several compounds isolated from the plant Commiphora. Scientific studies show that guggulsterones reduce bodyweight, mostly due to their stimulating effect on the thyroid gland, which controls your metabolic rate. Guggulsterones are not stimulants, however. Guggulsterones have also been shown to positively affect and maintain healthy cholestrol levels.
Apart from Lipo-6's active ingredients, its liquid capsule technology make this award winning thermogenic aid quickly absorbed and fast acting. For more information on this supplement or to order, click on the above image.
Muscle Advance Whey Protein: The Lumber For Your Muscles
You train hard to put lean mass on your physique. However, you need the proper nutrition to fuel and supply this anabolic process with raw material. Think of your training as the foreman and your dietary protein, or rather, your amino acid pool, as your lumber.
A mass building conditioning program typically requires the individual to ingest 2 grams of protein per lean kilogram of body weight (body weight -body fat) per day. An individual with a lean mass of 72 kilograms would then be required to consume 144 grams of protein daily. This can be difficult day in and day out via meals alone. So protein shakes are an excellent way to top off daily protein intake by 30-50 grams.
So why whey protein and not soy, egg whites or another protein source? Whey protein, a by-product of cheese production, has shown to have superior bio-availability compared to other protein sources. Therefore, more of the whey protein is absorbed and utilized by the body. Moreover, whey protein isolate is stripped of lactose and has minimal carbohydrate, fat, and cholesterol. It is more than 90% protein.
Another nutritional requirement that can arise during a mass building program is an increase in daily caloric intake to fuel this anabolic process. Muscle Advance offers both a high quality whey isolate protein powder as well as an excellent weight gainer powder, for those who wish to top off both daily caloric intake as well as protein. If you are a leaner individual with a higher metabolism and have found it difficult to put weight on in the past, go with the weight gainer powder.

Joint Advance: Save Your Joints & Enjoy A Quality Life
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage within the joints, typically affecting the weight bearing joints of the hips, knees, and spine. Cartilage is slow to heal and regenerate because it lacks it own blood supply and its cells cannot migrate to damaged areas. So give your joints all the help you can give them.
Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of cartilage, which provides much of the resistance of cartilage to compression. Loss of chondroitin sulfate from the cartilage is a major cause of osteoarthritis. The supplementation of chondroitin sulphate has shown a positive effect on osteoarthritic structural changes in the subchondral bone. Moreover, chondrotin has a proven anti-inflammatory effect.
Glucosamine is a precursor for a major component of chondroitin sulfate and therefore cartilage itself. Hence, a reduction in glucosamine sulfate synthesis results in a decline in joint cartilage production and subsequent joint space narrowing and arthritic degeneration. In the past 20 years glucosamine sulfate has been the subject of more than 300 scientific investigations and over 20 double-blind clinical studies. In a recent meta-analysis of 13 double-blind studies, glucosamine sulfate was found to be highly effective for the treatment of osteoarthritis. In several studies, glucosamine supplementation was shown to produce better results than ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory drugs in relieving the pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis.
Chondrotin and glucosamine taken together has shown to be effective for people with moderate-to-severe joint pain. In addition, a research review concluded that glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate act as valuable symptomatic therapies for knee and hip osteoarthritis disease with some potential structure-modifying effects. Both chondrotin and glucosamine are safe.
Another promising supplement for joint pain is methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). While the research continues, multiple animal studies and the first clinical trials using human subjects suggest MSM can improve the symptoms and function for knee osteoarthritis.
Joint Advance is comprised of chondrotin, glucosamine, and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) as well as a few secondary ingredients, to produce an effective dietary supplement to improve functionality and reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis.

You Routinely Change The Oil In Your Car & Flush Its Engine, But What About Your Own Body?
We live in a toxic enviornment: our foods, many of which are processed, contain preservatives and other chemicals, live stock is treated with hormones, fruits and vegetables are treated with pestisdes. Furthermore, much of our population take medications on a regular basis, which can have a cumaltive effect.
Moreover, many physicians are rapidly awakening to the fact that retained and hardened fecal matter in the digestive tract is one of the chief causes of disease, as observed in hundreds of autopsies. When the bowels become constipated or overloaded they cannot handle it properly and then the body stores the toxins in places such as fat cells and joints. Liquid waste can then be reabsorbed and enter the blood stream and lymphatic system. This burdens the kidneys and lymphatic system with the removal of this extra load of liquid wastes and toxins. This can stress the kidneys and lower the individual's resistance to infection.
The accumulation of waste material along the walls of the small intestines can also stretch the colon and surpress some nutrient absorption, such as proteins, vitamins, and enzymes.
Additionally, parasites can feed on humans and your body may house more than you know. That's right. Your dogs and cats get treated for worms, but what about the potential parasites feeding in your digestive tract?
Bowtrol Colon Cleanser is an effective natural way to routinely eliminate toxins and waste from the colon and support healthy function of the gastro intestinal tract. Bowtrol Colon Cleanser has the added benefit of probiotics, which enhance digestion and support the immune system. Bowtrol Probiotics contains 9 Billion live probiotic cells, more than 5 times the live active cultures typically found in yogurt, but without the sugar and calories.

Anti-Aging Supplement: Resveratrol - Straight From The Nectar Of The Gods
Resveratrol, ". . .the biggest medical discovery since antibiotics!" -Harvard Medical School
Bad news first – there is still no fountain of youth. However, Resveratrol is the most exciting discovery in anti-aging research to date. Animal studies have shown that Resveratrol increased life span by 30%. Additionally, this substance derived from the skins of red grapes and thus found in red wine, appears to have a significant ability to enhance the quality of life as well as the quantity of life. That is, Resveratrol may play an important role in the prevention and intervention of common diseases such as heart disease, cancer, type II diabetes, and osteoporosis. Take a few minutes to view the video clips below of the 60 minutes and Barbra Walters’ reports on Resveratrol.
Resveratrol Select is 50% Resveratrol, each serving containing the equivalent of 200 glasses of wine. Resveratrol Select also contains chromium and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a polyphenal found in green tea. Chromium is a micro-nutrientent that enhances the effect of insulin and therefore carbohydrate metabolism as well. Polyphenals are a type of antioxidant. They protect cells against damage caused by free radicals, reactive atoms that contribute to tissue damage in the body. For example, when low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is oxidized, it can become attached to artery walls and cause coronary heart disease. Polyphenols can also block the action of enzymes that cancer cells need for growth and can inhibit substances that promote the growth of cancer cells. The polyphenol most strongly associated with cancer prevention is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). For more information on this supplement or to order, click on the above image.
