Science NOT Hype

Adenosine tri-phospate why the need? This past monday March 11, 2009, I experienced the best chest workout to date! My chest simply felt as though my pec was going to rip open my skin! I have been using a product that I have loved for years but is very underrated. 5-Tetra. This stimulant free formula supplies three very key ingredients to allow you to acheive maximum vasodialation, increased fat metabolism, and is able to cripple catabolism by increasing endurance and stamina, while shortening recovery. The primary ingredient that makes 5-Tetra great is Peak-ATP. ATP is the result of aerobic respiration which is the cell’s ability to produce energy; it increases a person’s strength, helps keep the muscle cell’s hydrated and boosts carnosine levels. Carnosine is considered the body’s fatigue factor…the more carnosine the muscle has the longer and harder you are able to push your body. In addition, increased carnosine decreases the likelihood of the body reverting to anaerobic respiration, this is a process where in an effort for the body to make ATP it also produces lactic acid as a by product. That sore feeling that you experience after a workout is the result of your muscle cells leaking lactic acid causing your muscle tissue to be in a state of toxicity. By using 5-Tetra you prevent this from ever really happening!

Waxymaize, what is it? Many new products such as Volumaize, Intravol, and WAR are advertising that this starch/carb can increase glycogen loading pre, during, and post workout. However does this ingredient live up to it’s hype? Consumers must beware that their are many companies claiming that their product is the best! However in most cases it’s not! There are a two things to look at when determining whether or not a carbohydrate loading product is good. Low osmolality- what this means is that when you consume a carbohydrate that has a low osmolality it DOES NOT draw water to itself when it enters the stomach. Carbs like dextrose, sucrose, and fructose have higher osmolality and tend to draw water to them when they enter the stomach. This causes them to expand in the stomach leaving you bloated and inhibiting the time it takes to go from your stomach into the small intestine. Lastly molecular weight- the weight of a carb determines how effectively it will absorb. Carbohydrates such as sucrose and maltodextrin will range in weight anywhere from 180 to 10,000. You are probably asking yourself what the hell does this all mean? Simple when researching a waxymaize product or any carb containg product, it is important to make sure that the product is using high molecular weight branched chain glucose polymer and that it’s the first ingredient listed in the proprietary blend. Products that I would highly recommend if you are looking into a product like this would 8BetaAnabol,Vitargo, WAR, Volumaize, and Intravol.
