Rebootizer! A new way to combat stress!

,

By: Kevin Guardado NSCA-CPT

 

REBOOTizer is a relatively new dietary supplement developed by leading bio-chemist Anne Sophie Bongain at the Alpenrose Clinic in Switzerland. This supplement is composed of 7 powerful antioxidants that are 100% naturally derived from plant and fruit extracts. In these modern times, we are constantly exposed to many stresses that take a large toll on our body. We are exposed to many factors that contribute to oxidative stress such as air travel, strenuous exercise, sun exposure, pollution and other environmental toxins. Over time, oxidative stress can lead to conditions such as difficulty in weight management, fatigue,  outward signs of aging and chronic ailments. These antioxidants eliminate unwanted free radicals to combat oxidative stress and restore balance to the body.

Just to clear up some confusion, I will discuss the role these antioxidants and free radicals play on your body on the cellular level. For one, free radicals are harmful molecules that are a threat to your health and youthfulness. They are highly unstable molecules that attempt to stabilize by reacting with molecules in your body, damaging cells and its components including your DNA. Antioxidants counteract the oxidation damage created by the free radicals, and should be consumed to protect your body. Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) or enzymes (proteins that assist in chemical reactions) that interfere with the chain reactions caused by free radicals and stabilizes it to prevent further damage. When there are more free radicals than antioxidants in your body it is called Oxidative Stress. To tip the scales back in our favor we need to make sure we are consuming a plentiful amount of antioxidants to counteract that.

REBOOT contains 7 all-natural fruit and plant extracts that provide Oxidative Stress Relief by neutralizing free radicals, increasing metabolic efficiency and assisting liver function to properly detox. The best part about this product is that it comes in a unique mix system pouch. Antioxidants in premixed beverages begin to degrade and lose effectiveness as soon as they are mixed, to prevent that, REBOOT has created a two bag pouch! One bag contains a fresh and potent antioxidant mix while the other contains an ultra-purified, reverse osmosis water. Simply squeeze the bag to break the seal, mix the contents and enjoy! For more info about the 7 fruit and plant extracts and how REBOOTizer works, please visit their website at www.rebootizerusa.com or stop by Fitness Results and feel free to ask us some questions. REBOOTizer is available at our Fitness Results Pro Shop!

Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP) Decoded

Here at the Fitness Results Pro Shop we have a variety of different supplements, but when talking about dietary protein supplements, we carry the best product on the market. In our opinion, Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP) is the highest quality protein supplement because its effectiveness has been proven by scientific research. This is a relatively new product and is largely unknown to a majority of trainers, clients and fitness enthusiasts. In this article, we’re going to discuss what it is, what it does, and how it can help your performance and recovery time in the gym.

MAP is a dietary protein supplement that was originally discovered after 23 years of research by the International Nutrition Research Center (INRC), who were looking for a treatment for malnourished babies. Each pill contains the molecules needed to build essential amino acids in your body. Essential amino acids are those that do not occur naturally in the body, but instead need to be consumed in the diet. Of the nine, eight essential amino acids are used in this product. These amino acids are used to build proteins, which are then used to repair muscles and organs. MAP provides a unique pattern of amino acids in a highly purified, free, crystalline form. Because of this highly purified form it can readily be absorbed by the body thus used more efficiently. According to the research, 99% of the amino acids in MAP are utilized in the body in as little as 23 minutes after consumption. Compared with other protein supplements and even high quality food sources, only a maximum of 50% of the amino acids are actually absorbed and utilized with a digestion time of 3-6 hours! MAP is 100% natural and does not contain any sodium, fat or sugar and contains only 0.04 calories per gram, almost calorie free! Clinical studies have proven that the use of MAP during physical activity can optimize Body Protein Synthesis (the process in which amino acids bind together to form specific proteins), optimize muscular strength, mass and endurance and provide an incredibly fast recovery after physical activity.

MAP has everything a good protein supplement should have and even more! This is a remarkably safe product; it has no contraindications or adverse reactions. If you’re looking to boost your performance in the gym, especially in your recovery (which leads to better performance), then we would highly recommend trying this product. Not only is it backed by science, but even users claim it is a phenomenal product and they notice how effective it truly is. Please stop by the Pro Shop for pricing and further details.

Facts about Soy and Whey Protein

, , , , , , , , ,

     When looking for supplements to add to your workout plan or daily diet, the first thing you look at is protein. You’ve probably looked around and seen plenty of powders in either soy or whey protein. But what is the difference? There has been much talk about the advantages and disadvantages of both forms of protein and many body builders will stick to whey but the fact is they are both great, it just depends on how you use it.

Whey

When it comes to building muscle, whey is often said to be the clear choice over soy.  It often has higher grams of protein and has greater protein efficiency. It has a greater amount of amino acids which are converted into protein to help build muscle. The body also digests and whey protein better than soy, while it is still only a mere 4-5%. For those looking to build muscle the combination of high protein and essential amino acids equal a more efficient way of gaining muscle.

On the downside, for those looking to burn fat and appear more slimmed down and lean, whey may be too much sometimes. Also for some induviduals it can lead to constipation. Whey protein should be taken according to your personal weight/height/age/activity level to make sure you reach your goals as quickly and easily as possible.

Soy

Soy protein, while often lower in actual grams of protein and essential amino acids is still much higher in glutamine and arginine levels. Glutamine is a non essential amino acid. Glutamine increases muscle volume through cellular hydration, to do this glutamine is used to transport nitrogen to your muscle tissue. It helps the body burn fat as fuel helping you lose weight. Arginine helps release growth hormones and insulin to build muscle by increasing the blood flow delivering nutrients around your body more efficiently. Soy has also seen benifits in lowering risk for breast and prostate cancer, lowering fat and cholesterol, and is higher in isoflavins and essential fatty acids.

While soy has it’s benefits it has its own set of disadvantages. Certain people do have allergic reactions to soy products and can include diarrhea, flatulence, and constipation.

     Overall, despite some minor flaws in both, they are each still a very fine addition to your diet . Adding a scoop of soy to a whey protein shake can produce some fine results due to its additional glutamine and arginnine content. Generally though, soy is better used for weight and cholesterol loss and whey is better used for muscle gain. Of course either product can be used to great effect depending on how it is consumed and incorporated into your diet.

Risks of Diet Pills

, , , , , , , , , ,

     Almost everyone has seen a commercial on television for a new diet pill that promises a quick and easy way to lose unwanted pounds and improve your physical image. But, what the commercials don’t tell you is the effects they may have on your body if taken in excess, without prescription, or even side effects from ingredients that have not been studied on the human body, and that most people often regain more weight then they initially lost. How is something that is potentially dangerous still allowed on the market? Because these weight-loss and energy boosting miracle pills are not evaluated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

     Some pills advertise an increase in energy. By increasing energy you can become more active leading to weight loss. Sounds good doesn’t it? However, these pills simply increase your heart rate, speeding up your pulse to increase energy. If taken incorrectly this can lead to an overdose like any other drug and a possible heart attack. Some overdose effects can  include tremors, convulsions, hallucinations, nervousness and more.

     Other diet pills, rather than increasing energy, work on burning fat in the stomach. This may sound like a dream pill to those who don’t want to commit to adding a workout to their busy schedule, but it simply is not that easy. Diet pills are usually made for a specific target group of people, and this target groups may also include those on an even more specific diet. It is always important to make sure that what you are consuming is right for you.

     Another type of pill that is commonly advertised are supplements with ‘natural’ ingredients. These pills include the same dangers as any other drug on the market. Since the FDA does not specifially evaluate these pills some ingredients are a bit risky as they may not have been tested thouroughly on the body.

     We reccomend that before taking a drug you should be evaluated by a physician to ensure you are being as healthy as you think you are.. You should be physically evaluated along with a professional perspective on the drugs being prescribed. They should always be taken with the recommended dosage and remember, there is no substitution for diet and exercise as the best way to lose weight, build muscle, and be the best person you can be.
