Featured Recipe

 
I think if you see the ingredients in this sauce you'll know if it is for you. Mustard based sauces can go very well with pulled pork dishes, etc. But it is different than traditional sauces.

We are also a dealer for MAK Smoker Grills.
MAK Grills

Many people are starting to understand why pellet grills are so great. 

 These units are made in the USA and will work in any weather. So you can smoke/grill all winter. These units are being used to win national competitions. They are fully automated so you can set them and walk away. No more tending a smoker all day. Pure hardwood gives a "kiss of smoke" to the meat. Nobody likes to taste a forest fire. Once you taste food off the MAK you'll be hooked.

These grills are pellet fed hardwood. We also carry hickory, apple, maple, mesquite, cherry and pecan pellets.

B-ALANINE & ENDURANCE 
----------------------
If you want to improve your Endurance (listen up Marathoners) B-Alanine will make a difference. 
-------------------------

It can be concluded that 4 weeks of β-alanine supplementation improved repeated high-intensity cycling performance in both trained and non-trained participants. The findings of the present study indicate the efficacy of β-alanine as an ergogenic aid for high-intensity intermittent exercise regardless of the training status, highlighting that highly trained athletes can benefit from the use of β-alanine.


WHEY VS CASEIN


 
Taking adequate Leucine to reach the "leucine trigger" seems to be key in achieving muscle synthesis...
Whey contains more leucine per gram...

1. Several authors reported that consumption of 8 to 11.5 g of EAA (Essential Amino Acid) containing 2 to 3 g of leucine after exercise may maximize the protein synthetic response [5,36,37]. 

2. Recently, authors have demonstrated that low doses of leucine (0.75 g) may stimulate muscle protein synthesis following resistance exercise in young healthy individuals [38]. Higher doses (3 g leucine such as Max Isolate), however, maintained muscle protein synthesis longer and may be more effective for anabolism after resistance exercise [38]. 

...casein is not as good as soluble milk protein (whey) for muscle adaptation...  In their discussion they conclude that 10g post is suboptimal and 20g of high quality protein postworkout (NOTE - that is 20g of actual protein, not 20g of "nitrogen" --referring to those companies spiking their protein with things like glycine, taurine, etc.) is necessary to maximally stimulate protein synthesis.
----------------------
Taking adequate Leucine seems to be a key to muscle synthesis.  Casein doesn't have as much Leucine per gram as Whey. MaxxTOR unlocks the MTOR pathway more powerfully than Leucine. Ask us about it. It's the real deal if you are trying to put on muscle mass. Men, Women and young athletes. Not a pro hormone. No drug test worries.

Are you taking prescription meds to control pain?  

There are significant risks and side effects from taking prescription pain meds.  If you are currently doing this you may eventually develop an unintended psychological addiction because some of these drugs also temporarily relieve anxiety.  In 2008 there were 14,800 deaths from overdose in this category.  

BUT there are alternatives. Please read on...

Flu Vaccine  YES/NO

A very interesting link on vaccines and the flu vaccine by an expert.  This is worth a listen.

 
Should you take an aspirin each day?

"After carefully examining scientific data from major studies, FDA has concluded that the data do not support the use of aspirin as a preventive medication by people who have not had a heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular problems"

KOIOS
BRAIN FORMULA
 
Studying for a TEST??

 

I am terrible at remembering names. Many of you already know that.  I've virtually given up on trying. 
I jokingly tell people it's a genetic defect but I think it may be.
We were recently introduced to KOIOS and I got a bottle to try.  I have greatly improved my memory recall and have been taking it every morning.  I'm still not perfect at name recall now but I feel like I have improved 1000% and so does my family. 

 

Students who take things like "Adderal" when studying for finals and other big tests would be better off using KOIOS.
If you have family members currently enrolled in college you may want to have a conversation about this. You may be surprised to hear that most students are very familiar with their friends taking Adderal to help with tests.  Maybe your children are too.
 
 Besides being legal, KOIOS isn't a drug and I'll bet you would be pleasantly surprised at memory recall and alertness with no negative side effects.  The ingredients in the formula are listed in the link below.  Many have been used internationally for many years. This is a unique blend.
