Beverly International E-Newsletter #24

Use this product to "wind down" after a stressful day!
 

Three ingredients in Beverly International's ZMA 2000™ (formerly called ZMA) may help you wind down after a stressful day.

 

Stress is a part of life, inside and outside our workouts. Many of us also consume energy drinks, coffee and other sources of stimulants that wind us up. Often it's hard to wind down before bed and have a restful, recovery-enhancing sleep. ZMA 2000 may help.

 

ZMA 2000 contains patented and clinically studied compounds including zinc monomethionine, zinc aspartate, and magnesium aspartate. Beverly customers commonly report that taking ZMA 2000 before bed improves relaxation and sleep quality. In turn, this may enhance recovery not only from your workouts, but also everyday stresses.

 

Here's how ZMA 2000 is thought to work. Neurons (nerve cells) inside your brain express a variety of receptors. Receptors are like "keyholes" that are embedded in the membrane of a cell. One type of receptor is the NMDA receptor. It is distributed throughout the brain. NMDA receptors are excitatory; that is, they determine how "wound up" your brain is. Overactive NMDA receptors can have negative effects on mood, anxiety levels, and your ability to sleep.

 

Medical researchers are studying drugs that inhibit NMDA receptors for the treatment of depression and anxiety. A number of natural compounds also inhibit NMDA receptors. Among these are zinc and magnesium. This may explain why Beverly International customers report that ZMA 2000 enhances relaxation and sleep quality.

 

How to use ZMA 2000

 

Use: Men take 3 capsules (women, 2 capsules) before bed on an empty stomach. For maximum results, combine with Quadracarn™. Sweet dreams!

 
 
Build your blood to build your muscles

 

When you train intensely, especially if you rest only briefly between sets, your working muscles become swollen, or "pumped", with blood.

 

The pump is considered an indicator of increases in muscle size to come. In other words, better pumps = better muscle gains.

 

As important as the pump is for building muscle (and preserving it as we age), it's funny that we don't hear more about the importance of building blood.

 

What can you do to build your blood? Perhaps the simplest place to start is by supplementing with Beverly's Ultra 40 100% Argentine Beef Liver tablets. "Old School" nutritionists gave liver tablets to their bodybuilding and movie star clients and instructed them to take a handful of them with or between meals in order to enhance muscle building. They may not have realized at the time that they were also enhancing blood building.

 

Ultra 40 is an excellent source of heme iron. Heme iron is much more bioavailable than non-heme iron, which is the type of iron found in plants. Your body efficiently absorbs heme iron and uses it to produce hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein found in red blood cells), as well as myoglobin (the oxygen-carrying molecule found in muscle cells).

 

Here's another tip for building your blood: Combine Ultra 40 with Ultra C. The vitamin C in Ultra C helps improve the bioavailability of iron.

Get the most out of your EFAs!

 

Most of you have read about essential fatty acids (EFAs) and their role in heart health, mental health and more. For instance, according to studies, two servings of EFA Gold provides enough of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA (from fish oil) to reduce your risk of heart disease by up to 35%.

 

In fact, the polyunsaturation of EFAs is what makes them so powerful. This term refers to the chemical structure of the fatty acid molecules. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are more "energetic", or chemically reactive, than saturated fatty acids. This contributes to health benefits of former. On the other hand, polyunsaturation also makes EFAs more susceptible to something known as oxidation, which can lessen their health benefits.

 

To protect your EFAs from oxidation and ensure that you get more health benefits out of them, combine EFA Gold with Fit Tabs™ (formerly called Ultra 4) or Super Pak daily. Both contain important nutrients like Vitamin A that are believed to help protect EFAs from oxidation.
