Inside the Mind of Deserusan

With all the hype surrounding MuscleTech’s new NO2 product, naNOX9, I’ve seen a lot of folks bashing the term Nanoparticulation Technology. Now a lot of you know that I have reviewed products by MuscleTech so of course I was interersted in this new form of oral delivery of supplements. The bottom line folks, this is not psuedoscience and has a strong foundation in research.

As for my own interests, I’m lucky enough to have a researcher, Glen S. Kwon, Ph.D. of the University of Wisconsin Pharmacy School, that I am trying to arrange an interview with to discuss the application or benefits of using nanoparticulates orally as a delivery method. Hopefully, he’ll except my request.

The reason for my interest in this is because rapid diffusion of supplements has obvious advantages. Just think what it would be like to not have to wait 30-60 minutes for your preworkout supps to kick in? For some, I know you base meal timing around this which can be a pain in the ass. It would be nice to just have your preworkout cocktail right as walk into your gym and then have it go into action as you begin your warm-up session. Some may think this is a novelty, but to serious supplementers this would be a valued luxury.

Here are some resources to better understand nanoparticulation and it’s possible application to oral delivery of supplements. This is cutting edge boys and girls so welcome to 21st century suppplementation:
