2007 Olympia Weekend Mens Finals Double Down!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

 

The 2007 Mr. Olympia came down to the final round, as Victor Martinez pushed Jay Cutler to the limit before coming up a point short.

Cutler, who admitted he was a little off on Friday night, charged back at the Saturday finals, becoming a multi-Olympia winner on the same night when perhaps the sports greatest champion, Ronnie Coleman, made his final bow on the O stage, finishing fourth and getting two standing ovations from the sold out Orleans Arena crowd.

In third place was Dexter Jackson, the 2005 and 2006 Arnold Classic champ who earlier this year lost that title to Martinez. It was a validation for The Blade that he is still a force to be reckoned with, as he beat out Coleman, a hard-charging Dennis Wolf in fifth, and Marvelous Melvin Anthony in sixth.  

Perhaps no one made a bigger stride in this contest than Wolf. The German was a huge crowd favorite, and showed every ounce of his future Mr. Olympia potential. The crowd booed at his placing (viewing it as too low), and he also won the Bodybuilding.com Fan’s Choice award with 32% of the votes cast (Martinez was second at 27%).

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

Introducing XanGo

While the scientific community has been studying the benefits of the Mangosteen for decades, no one has thought to bring these incredible benefits to the world in a potent, convenient form. Until now.

XanGo, the first complete nutritional product of the Mangosteen fruit of Southeast Asia. XanGo is a whole fruit puree, utilizing the pericarp as well as the pulp of this extraordinary tropical fruit.

XanGo represents the next generation of powerful phytonutrients that will change the landscape of health and nutrition forever.

In one singular dietary supplement, you get all of the miraculous benefits of xanthones, nature’s super-antioxidant. The whole fruit puree of the prized mangosteen, XanGo™ Juice not only delivers these extraordinary benefits, but it delivers them in an indescribably delicious beverage.

Why Xango?

The brand name XanGo was created from two words: Xanthones and Mangosteen. And while this brand name represents the origin of the beverage, it will also come to represent much more to the people who enjoy it.

Mangosteen The X-Factor

A look at the health benefits,science and xanthones of Garcinia Mangostana 

Do not settle for less than optimal health. Whatever you current state, it can be improved.

nutrition + exercise + “x” = optimium health

What is Mangosteen?

The scientific name for the mangosteen fruit is Garcinia Mangostana ant it belongs to the family Guttiferae. 

What is unique is that mangosteen has not been used in North America or Europe despite its popularity as a folk remedy in Asia and South America. 

The mangosteen possesses a unique class of phytoceuticals called “XANTHONES” 

Xanthones are molecules found in plants and are composed of stable carbon-structure molecules. 

Xanthones have been demonstrated to be effective in inhibiting inflammation as well as serve a potent antioxidants in combating free radical damage.
Mangosteen’s versatility comes from its unique chemical makeup. 

Over 200 xanthones exist in nature; approximately 40 have been identified in mangosteen. 

Each xanthone has the same molecular skeletons but unique chemical accessories know as sidechains that permit each xanthone to perform a specific biologic function. 

For example, alpha-mangostin serves as an antioxidant, gamma mangostin as an anti-inflammatory and Garcinone E as an anti-tumor agent.

Mangosteen juice, made from a whole fruit is as safe to drink as orange or apple juice.

In addition, laboratory evidence and centuries of folk use without incident confirm mangosteen’s overall safety. 

No adverse effects were encountered with mangosteen, and so far no food-drug interactions have been noted.

It is recommended that you always consult a doctor before using any food supplement and that you do not stop taking any medications you are taking. 

There will be time enough later to re-evaluate the use of any medication when it becomes apparent that mangosteen has replaced their effects.

Mangosteen as an Anti-inflammatory

Inflammation- wich consists of heat, swelling, redness and pain- is the body’s normal, healthy reaction to almost every injury or invasion.

However, inflammation can become chronic rather than shutting down when the problem has been dealt with.

Even in young people, the body often overreacts to injuries with exessive pain and prolonged inflammation.

This is the case in arthritis, headaches, and muscle pains. In such situation, inflammation itself becomes the problem.

In chronic form, inflammation has now been casually linked to cancer, neurodegenerative diseases of the brain {such as alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis and parkinson’s}, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease {crones}.

Medical science’s answer to this problem are anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, indomethacin, and dexamethasone.

However, these drugs can cause severe side effects at times as severe as the origanal in-flammatory disorder. 

Why take a drug when a plant or herb would do?

Mangosteen’s xanthones have been demonstrated to possess potent anti-inflammatory properties in animal laboratory studies without the risk of other complications.

The natives of Southeast Asia employed mangosteen to stop the pain of inflammation since it is one of the fruit’s most obvious effects.

They used the rind of the fruit to treat diarrhea and dysentery. Dysentery, as a disease process, is characterized by inflammation of the intestine, especially of the large bowel.

Scientists now know that the xanthones from the mangosteen pericarp, mainly gamma-mangostin, inhibits prostaglandins.

If there is no prostaglandins then the symptoms of inflammation disappear. 

Mangosteen as an Antioxidant

Oxidation occurs when free radicals attack the body’s cells, often damaging them irreparably. 

Free radicals invade the body through pollution, infection, poor eating habits, and even exercise.

Oxidation is an essential component not only of all identified diseases {including cancer} but of aging itself. 

Antioxidants are needed to combat the insidious process of oxidation.

The antioxidants thoery of aging postulates that the aging process is the result of cumulative “oxidative stress”{damage done by free radicals}.

The effects of this damage is experienced in human beings as the aging process. 

Therefore, raising blood and tissue levels of antioxidants through mangosteen supplemantation is a valid means of intervening.

There are reports that show we are exposed to lierally millions of free radicals each day. Second-hand smoke, pollution, and tainted food alone can speed up the aging process by years. We all need to supplemant our diets with extra antioxidants to combat these modern-day free radicals.

Using xanthones from the mangosteen pericarp scientist discoverd that the xanthones from the mangosteen fruit are potent antioxidants and that xanthones inhinit oxidation of low density lipoprotein {LDL}.

They further suggested that the xanthone gamma mangostin was found to be more powerful antioxidant than vitamin E.

Mangosteen as an Anti-bacterial

A challenge facing the global medical community is that of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

Research in Thailand has shown that mangosteen’s xanthones inhibits the reproduction of strains of bacteria.
