It is AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW...STOCK up before we have to
YOU WON'T REGRET IT...IT'S WORTH IT! |
Hydroxycut products BANNED by the FDA!
An even better reason to use LIPOLYZE and SOMALYZE. Our non-stimulant fat burners are designed for daytime and nighttime use and, with its sister product SOMALYZE, you can actually burn body fat while you are asleep-Now that's an attractive concept!
One of the biggest news stories to hit the headlines last month (aside from the swine flu of course) was the government recall of the dietary supplement HYDROXYCUT. In a report circulated to the media, US Government health officials warned dieters and bodybuilders to IMMEDIATELY stop using the Canadian made supplement, citing it as a cause of serious liver damage.
Hydroxycut - advertised as being made from 'natural ingredients' hit sales figures exceeding 9 million in the last year alone, making it one of the top selling weight loss supplements on the market (this sales figure no doubt assisted by the aggressive multi-media marketing campaign funded by the product manufacturers).

OUR SPECIES ATHLETE OF THE MONTH IS...
JUAN "DIESEL" MOREL
Currently training for the Jr Nationals in Chicago (June 18th-June20th), Juan "Diesel" Morel began his relationship with SPECIES back in 2007. Since then he has utilized all our supplements in his diet and, along with nutritional guidance from Dave Palumbo. He has managed to overcome a major obstacle many bodybuilders are all too familiar with. You see Juan is a member of the 'hard gainers club' (tough to believe when you look at him now!). His metabolism is so fast that his off season diet requires him to eat 12 meals a day!
Here is a look at a day in the 'off-season' life of Juan Diesel...
MEAL 1: 5 whole eggs with 1 cup of oatmeal (pre-cooked measurement).
MEAL 2: 5 whole eggs, 1 cup rice.
MEAL 3: (pre-workout) 54g ISOLYZE , 40g CARBOLYZE and 1 tablespoon Macadamia Nut Oil.
MEAL 4: (post-workout) 54g ISOLYZE with 50g CARBOLYZE.
MEAL 5: 8oz cooked chicken or turkey with 1/2 cup cashew nuts (or almonds/ walnuts) with 1 cup(cooked measurement) rice.
MEAL 6: 8oz (cooked) chicken or red meat, salad with 2tbs Mac Nut Oil and vinegar, baked potato and yam or white rice.
MEAL 7: As meal 5.
MEAL 8: 8oz turkey burgers with cheese and 2 buns with 1/2 cup almonds.
MEAL 9: Same as meal 6.
MEAL 10: 5 whole eggs with cheese and grits.
MEAL 11: 25g ISOLYZE with 8oz milk, 2 tbs peanut butter.
MEAL 12: Same as meal 11.
Whew! So next time you complain about being a hard gainer, just take a look at Juan's diet - any obstacle can be overcome with dedication, willpower, and of course, SPECIES supplements!
Finally, we had to ask Juan what he felt was the greatest lesson he had learned on his journey through bodybuilding and he said:
"One thing that I have learned concerns training for a show. You have to continue to train hard, don't change your training just because it's pre-contest. Keep it heavy all the way! Go to the gym for 45 minutes to an hour and then get out.
Sometimes we think more is better, but it's not! All it leads to is flatter muscles on stage."
Wise words Juan! After all, muscle is built with heavy weights, why on earth would you try to maintain it with light weights and high reps??!
Check out Juan at the Jr Nationals...yet another SPECIES athlete destined for greatness!

| SPECIES QUICK TIP...
Training on Empty ?
Don't do it!
It used to be thought that by training on an empty stomach you would accelerate the fat burning process...the theory being that with no available fuel source your body would have no option other than to pull energy from fat stores. Now, whilst training on empty may have some benefits when it comes to low intensity cardio, it is NOT a good idea when it comes to your muscle building workouts.
When you weight train on an empty stomach you are at high risk of actually LOSING muscle tissue as it is catabolized for fuel in the absence of food. On the other hand, if you have a small snack 30-60 minutes prior to training you actually increase muscle protein synthesis in the recovery stage.
SPECIES RECOMMENDS:
For the greatest results from your training consume the following muscle building shake 30-60mins before your workout...
54g ISOLYZE
40g CARBOLYZE
1 tablespoon MAC NUT OIL
Amounts can be adjusted to suit your goals and current bodyweight. This formula has worked wonders for all our top athletes and is sure to make a difference to not only your training but your post workout recovery.
N.B. A similar shake minus the MAC NUT OIL is recommended post workout.

GLUTATHIONE...THE WHEY CONNECTION
Glutathione is what is known as a tripeptide composed of the amino acids Cysteine, Glutamic Acid and Glycine. It is found in all cells of the body but resides predominantly in the lungs, intestinal tract and liver. In the liver glutathione assists in the detoxification of harmful compounds, allowing them to be eliminated in the bile. When glutathione levels are low liver and lymphatic functions suffer, allowing toxins to circulate throughout the body, which ultimately leads to damage in individual cells and organs. It is interesting to note that glutathione is so powerful when it comes to detoxifying drugs that doctors routinely use glutathione promoting drugs in the treatment of patients with certain types of drug overdose. Another point of interest is that the herb milk thistle, which is often used as a liver protector, exerts its effect by modestly increasing glutathione levels.
INCREASING YOUR GLUTATHIONE LEVELS ....THE SPECIES SOLUTION
Now as great as all this may sound, there is a major problem with glutathione...it is not absorbed very effectively by the body when delivered in oral form. In fact, when used therapy, doctors choose the intravenous form of delivery to ensure maximum absorption. However, there is an alternative way to obtain this powerful intracellular antioxidant and that is by consuming a high quality whey protein such as ISOLYZE from SPECIES NUTRITION. Whey protein has been found to significantly increase cellular glutathione.
GLUTATHIONE AND SPORTS PERFORMANCE
Glutathione also has significant effects on athletic performance including decreasing recovery time, increasing strength and endurance, reducing muscle pain and fatigue and maintaining even blood sugar levels during training.
SO START GETTING THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF GLUTATHIONE TODAY BY ORDERING ONE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY WHEY PROTEINS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET TODAY....ISOLYZE FROM SPECIES 'THE HOME OF EVOLUTIONARY NUTRITION'

NATURAL GROWTH HORMONE ENHANCEMENT
As athletes we are all familiar with growth hormone..since it is never far from the news. However, the growth hormone that grabs all the attention is usually found in a bottle, what about our own natural growth hormone? Is there a way that we can optimize our ability to produce this muscle building, youth restoring hormone naturally?
Thankfully the answer is "Yes" and here are five simple steps you can take to assist this process....
1) Get rid of abdominal fat. Fat stored around the organs in the abdominal region impairs growth hormone secretion. Fortunately, this is partially reversible with weight loss. Adding supplements like LIPOLYZE and SOMALYZE, along with FIBERLYZE can make the whole dieting process a lot easier.
2)Avoid high-glycemic carbohydrates. Insulin is a powerful inhibitor of growth hormone secretion. Avoid highly processed carbs such as white bread and sugary cereal as well as high-glycemic foods such as white rice, potato chips, cookies, soda and commercially processed fruit juices. Place your emphasis on fiber-rich whole fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes.
3) Make sleep a priority. The majority of growth hormone secretion occurs at night during deep sleep. Inadequate sleep, irregular sleeping patterns and poor quality sleep significantly inhibits growth hormone secretion.
4) Pay attention to your last meal of the day. A high protein, low carbohydrate snack before bedtime helps minimize insulin release and allows for maximum growth hormone secretion.
5) Keep the intensity level of your workouts high. Studies suggest that the intensity necessary to trigger exercise-induced growth hormone release corresponds to the lactate threshold(the exercise intensity at which lactic acid accumulates in the blood). Training above this threshold amplifies the release of growth hormone at rest and increases total secretion for at least 24 hours.
So there you have it, 5 simple ways to boost your growth hormone levels without even having to touch a bottle...unless it says SOMALYZE or LIPOLYZE of course!

HEALTH NEWS...
CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE? THEN TRY HOME MONITORING.
It seems that monitoring your blood pressure at home with one of the many gadgets currently available is more accurate when it comes to predicting heart disease than having it measured in your doctors office. Taking your blood pressure at home eliminates "white coat hypertension", the phenomenon of elevated blood pressure caused by the stress of being in the doctors office. In addition to this, high blood pressure readings late at night have a greater association with heart disease and when was the last time you went to your doctor at midnight to have your blood pressure checked!?
Here are six things you can do to keep your brain as fit as your body:
1) Eat more almonds...they are reputed to have memory enhancing powers.
2) Drink apple juice....apple juice increases production of the essential neurotransmitter, acetylcholine in the brain. This in turn boosts memory and brain function.
3) Make sure you get a good night's sleep. Long term memory is consolidated while you are asleep. This occurs when the brain replays images of the experiences of the day and stores them in the subconscious mind.
4) Keep your brain active by learning something new or doing mental exercises such as crossword puzzles.
5) Eliminate stress from your life.
6) Avoid sugar...too much sugar in your system can cause memory loss and other neurological disorders.
ALLERGIES AND MOODS
Now that allergy season is upon us, it is interesting to note that both untreated allergic conditions and allergy medications can cause mood changes. People with severe nasal allergies often complain of feeling irritable and utterly exhausted. Others describe a nervous agitation. People who have chronic hives also report mood fluctuations corresponding to outbreaks.
These mood altering effects are due to the fact that allergy cells produce a mix of natural chemicals that are released either gradually or all at once during various allergic conditions. Some of these chemicals (including histamines and one called TNF-alpha) are known to have mood-altering effects. We have receptors for these chemicals throughout our bodies...including our brains.
In addition to this, allergy medications can also affect mood in some people. For example 'Sudafed' (pseudoephedrine) can cause some people to feel anxious, while in others it causes lethargy. Many anti-histamines are known to cause drowsiness. If this be a problem for you, then it is suggested that a nasal steroid spray be used to control nasal symptoms and Ketotifen eye drops should ease itchy, watery eyes.
On another note entirely, anti-histamines can lead to weight gain in some individuals (as can such innocent things as heartburn medications!).
OEA FOR APPETITE CONTROL AND MEMORY ENHANCEMENT...
Previously it was discovered that oleic acids from fats are transformed into a compound called oleoylethanolamide(OEA) in the upper region of the small intestines. OEA in turn sends hunger curbing messages to the brain which increases feelings of fullness and reduces appetite. This is not the end of the OEA story though as this compound is also known to cause memory consolidation, in which superficial, short-term memories are turned into meaningful long-term memories. It does this by activating memory enhancing signals in the amygdala - the brain area that plays a role in retaining memories of emotional events. OEA is actually the molecular glue that makes memories stick. So if you want to curb your appetite and enhance your memory keep taking your OMEGALYZE and MAC NUT OIL! |
