                    Welcome
 
Hello ,
 
I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you, our valued customers and friends, who have trusted us to help and support you in your quest for better health.  We realize there are many companies out there that you could choose.  We are honored you have chosen us.  We take the responsibility very seriously. 
 
To make sure we provide you with the best information and most current research, we conduct local training every Tuesday morning for 1.5 hours. We also participate in an hour long weekly national conference call hosted by Max Muscle corporate. These calls are very valuable and help us stay on the leading edge of science based knowledge in the industry.  Scott was also recently elected to be on the Max Muscle board of directors.  This allows us to have a bit more direct influence and input on important decisions Max Muscle is making at a corporate level.
 
I am continually disappointed when I hear bits and pieces of studies and information put out by some of the major media outlets that contain a bias toward one view or another regarding your health choices.  Many times one negative study is highlighted and negates a host of other studies that may dispute those results.  Or, only one detail is presented and it doesn't provide the big picture or give us "the rest of the story".  Unfortunately, this has a detrimental affect on many people who really need to make some lifestyle changes, but end up listening to this stuff and get confused about what changes they need to make. 
 
If you have friends that fit that description please encourage them to come see us. Or if you are concerned about a particular subject or need clarification please come in or give us a call. We'll help you decipher some of the inaccuracies, partial statements and misleading marketing that is so prevalent.  We'll give you the straight facts.  We realize ultimately the course of action you take is yours but we promise to provide the most current "science based" information available and hope we can help you make the best informed decision.
 
We are constantly striving to make sure we live up to our tag line  "WE ARE THE AUTHORITY ON SPORTS NUTRITION".  The best consumer is a well informed consumer.
 
**** Also, besides following strict cGMP standards for quality, Max Muscle has always sourced raw materials in the United States. Only a few nonavailable herbs, etc are source elsewhere.  ALL proteins have been 100% U.S. sourced from the same area of the country for the past 20 years.  What does this mean?  The highest standards of quality are being met in the manufacture of Max branded products. Where protein is sourced can make a difference in many qualities of the protein including the heavy metal content, contaminants, amino acid profile, etc. Consistency in the supply chain is also a major consideration when producing supplements.  ie: know your raw material suppliers. Example: The melamine scare from the protein sourced in China was not an issue at Max Muscle. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding how Max Muscle products are made or the quality steps to ensure pure ingredients. *******

Understanding Hormones and Your Health

Understanding Hormones and Your HealthBy Dr. Brian Wolstein DC

Why is it that when we are in our twenties, the benefits of consistent work-outs are evident in no time at all, but by the time we are in our mid-thirties, it takes twice the effort-with very little to show for all the hard work? And, ironically, why is it that some people in their 50's seem to have as much energy as people half their age, while, for others, the major sporting activity is looking great for the "early-bird" special?

One of the major, and most frequently over-looked reasons are hormones, or the deficiencies or partial deficiencies thereof. Understand that the average individual's testosterone, DHEA and growth hormone levels decrease steadily on an average of 30 percent between the ages of 30 to 50, and the average female's estradiol, progesterone and testosterone levels decrease even more precipitously at menopause. By the age of 35, both males and females have the melatonin level of an 80-year-old, and "Low Thyroid-Low T3-Syndrome" is frequently evident as well. If, collectively, these hormones are the ones that affect the stamina, strength, energy, libido, lean muscle mass and lower body fat that are the hallmarks of our youth, it's no wonder so many people feel old by the time they're 50.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
If you are getting a little older and noticing that you just don't have the fire you used to have in the gym or you are just having a lot more trouble keeping off the middle aged spread, come on in and we can talk to you about "natural" testosterone boosters.  We have many customers that really feel a benefit in putting on lean mass, helping with body fat, and improved mood.  I've taken all of the products pictured above and I can talk to you about my experience with them.  These are herbal. They work by freeing up "your" natural bound testosterone and stimulating your natural production while helping to block estrogen production. I'm 53 years old and I give them 2 thumbs up.
 
As an added bonus we've got Anabol EXT at an all time low price this month. See the deal listed at the beginning of the newsletter.  The EXT has a very potent mix of patented, high end, scientifically validated ingredients.  These products aren't just typical tribulus "me too" products like like most test boosters you see on the market.  They use the most recently studied, more potent formulations available. My thoughts on this type of product, "if you are going to take the time and effort to do it, why not make sure you get the best?" And best of all they aren't synthetic so they don't cause liver problems and also won't cause a drop in your natural testosterone levels, which is a bad side effect from synthetic (prohormone) type products. 
 
And as with all Max products, GMP's (Good Manufacturing Practices) are employed through all stages of manufacture of the products which is equivalent to ISO standards in the industrial world.  Exact procedures, quality checks and batch testing is conducted at all critical points in the process as well as batch testing all incoming raw products.     
 
Sincerely,
Scott Herkes

 Lactic Acid
 and performance
 
Lactic Acid has foiled the dreams of many aspiring athletes.  We all have felt the burn that lactic acid produces when we push ourselves past our anaerobic threshold.  Lactic acid forms when we can't provide enough oxygen to our muscles to produce energy efficiently. Lactic acid is a result and the hydrogen ion H+ in excessive amounts gets very uncomfortable and forces us to stop at some point. 
 
What if you could take something to enhance what your body already does to help buffer lactic acid build up?  You could blow past your current thresholds and achieve better performances whether you were a professional athlete or just a normal Joe or Jane trying to stay in shape. 
 
Doctor Harvey explains in great detail what to do to minimize the effects of lactic acid.  This is worth listening to.

Carbohydrates are our friends
 
 
 carbs
 
Carbohydrates are essential. Proper carb nutrition is important especially with regard to maintaining energy, mental clarify and athletic performance.  So what do we mean by good carbs and bad carbs? The idea that there are good carbs and bad carbs depends on many things including timing, quantity, and glycemic index.  To understand more about this important subject read the link.  If you are serious about results and athletic peformance this article will be helpful.
 
 
 
TROUBLE SLEEPING ????
 
If you've tried everything and still can't seem to get to sleep, why not give this a try. Chinese herbal formulas are used extensively in other parts of the world and don't have harmful side effects.  We are now carrying this product and hope we can help some of you get some rest.
