SHOPPING FOR WHEY PROTEIN....A BEGINNERS Q & A
Q:With the protein powder isle in any health food store/vitamin shop positively groaning under the weight of various forms of protein powder, how do I know which one to take?
A:Well, the answer here is very simple...WHEY PROTEIN is the only thing you should be looking for!
Q: Okay, so I have found the whey protein, but now I see the words 'concentrate', 'hydrolyzed' and 'isolate'. What do I do now?
A: Stay well away from products with hydrolyzed and concentrated whey protein (unless kite flying is your chosen after workout pursuit and you need the extra 'wind power'). These products tend to be very poorly absorbed and can lead to abdominal discomfort (gas, indigestion). Instead choose whey isolate. Whey protein isolate contains 90% or more protein and very little (if any) fat and lactose. It is easily absorbed and is unlikely to cause any digestive discomfort.
Q: Alright...I have 'isolated the isolate'..now which brand do I choose?
A: This will involve a little more movement on your part. First of all, remove yourself from the shop you are in. Now make your way home. Once you are home, head for your computer. Go to www.speciesnutrition.com and order ISOLYZE. Why? Because there is currently no better whey protein isolate product on the market. This has been tried and tested on all our athletes here at Species and their physiques and contest placings are positive proof that, when it comes to whey protein, no body does it better than SPECIES...THE HOME OF EVOLUTIONARY NUTRITION!

Spotlight on Canada
It would appear that John Mutton has made the news once again concerning his campaign funding for the 2006 election. When initial allegations regarding his campaign expenses were dismissed after an audit John thought it was all over. However, it appears local residents are still in an uproar and want another audit conducted. Since the aim of all this is to prevent John from running for municipal office again it seems to be a little void of reason. After all, John recently stated that he was, "not interested in running for municipal politics ever again"
I mean, hello folks...didn't you get the memo! Talk about a complete waste of taxpayers money!

SPOTLIGHT ON...BORON
You may have heard of the trace mineral boron before, but did you know that regular supplementation with boron may actually lead to a natural increase in testosterone levels?
Yes, it's true! The mineral most often associated with bone health can also be a vital component of your muscle building/testosterone enhancing supplement regime.
In fact, when there is an inadequate intake of boron in the diet there is a notable excretion of calcium and magnesium along with lower serum concentrations of testosterone.
Add to that its well documented ability to assist in the repair and building of joints and its ability to regulate levels of other trace minerals in the body (inc. calcium, magnesium and phosphorus) and you will get the picture as to why we made sure to add it to our outstanding joint repair formula ARTHROLYZE.
Trust us, if you are involved in any kind of heavy weight training program - and since you are reading this we know you are! - then adding ARTHROLYZE to your supplement plan should be as natural an action as downing a protein shake after a workout!
DON'T WAIT...ORDER ARTHROLYZE NOW!

HEALTH NEWS ROUND-UP..
NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE CAUSES OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA... New imaging technology has revealed that abdormalities in brain circuitry may be a trigger for conditions such as Anorexia Nervosa. Dysfunction in certain neural circuits of the brain may explain why certain people are more prone to developing eating disorders.
Once anorexia develops, profound changes in the brain and other organ systems lead to neuro-chemical imbalances which serve to accelerate the disease process.
Imaging studies suggest that individuals with anorexia have an imbalance between circuits in the brain that regulate reward and emotion(the ventral or limbic circuit) and circuits that are associated with consequences and planning ahead(the dorsal or cognitive circuit).
It has also been discovered through brain imaging studies that individuals with Anorexia have alterations in those parts of the brain involved with bodily sensations- such as sensing the rewarding aspects of pleasurable foods. What's more, those suffering from Anorexia may not even be capable of recognizing when they are hungry.
One positive note revealed by this study is that individuals who recover from Anorexia (due to their drive for accomplishment, success and concern for consequences) tend to go on and do well in life.
ANTI-BACTERIAL SOAP...NOT SO GOOD
Allison Aiello, PhD, assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Michegan, headed a group that analyzed several studies comparing people who washed their hands with regular or antibacterial soap. In all but one trial there was no difference beween groups, either in bacteria on hands or rates of illness. The one study where antibacterial soaps proved effective in reducing bacteria on hands involved test subjects washing their hands for 30 seconds, 18 times a day and for 5 days straight.
Now that is definitely entering Howard Hughes territory!
UNCOVERING THE MYSTERIES OF THE PLACEBO EFFECT...
The 'placebo effect' refers to when sugar pills are supplied to participants in a clinical study to represent 'no treatment'. The results are then compared to those experienced by participants who are given the actual drug. This is an often used method for testing a drugs true effectiveness.
However, in some people the placebo works nearly as well as the medication. The reason for this has remained a mystery until now. However, recent studies have revealed that placebos act in some individuals (particularily those with a recognized depressive disorder) to stimulate the brain's central reward pathways by releasing a class of neurotransmitters called monoamine specific dopamine and norepinephrine. These so called 'feel good chemicals' could therefor influence response.
This leads us once again to consider the powerful influence the mind has over the body when it comes to achieving health.

SPECIES ON CALL!
Your frequently asked questions answered HERE by our team of experts!
Yes...it's time to open the mailbag and see what is on your mind this month. First of all, here is a question about stimulant free fat-burners...........
Q: I notice that your daytime fat burner LIPOLYZE does not contain caffeine and yet I have heard that caffeine enhances both fat burning and athletic performance. So why would you omit such a key ingredient?
A: It is true that caffeine does speed up metabolism and can assist in the burning of stored bodyfat, however it does have significant downsides. One of the most important of these for bodybuilders is its pronounced effect on cortisol production. Cortisol is a CATABOLIC hormone that not only breaks down lean muscle, it also suppresses the immune system and leads to increased fat storage in the abdominal area.
In addition to this caffeine is very dehydrating and can cause an imbalance within the body in terms of mineral and electrolyte retention. It can also lead to an elevation in blood pressure levels.
So, with caffeine you are getting a short term boost with a long term effect that is less than desirable.
In a nutshell, that is why you will not find caffeine in our fat burning products. We believe in providing benefits without risks!

Q: I recently bought your FIBERLYZE product and have been using it every morning and every night. In addition to this I often add it as a supplement before meals to prevent me from over-eating. My problem is that although it keeps my hunger in check I seem to feel extremely bloated all the time. Is there a way to prevent this feeling of discomfort whilst still getting all the benefits of the product?
A: Put simply...you are taking way too much of this product! Use it only as directed in the a.m. and p.m. You may even want to half the dose until your system gets used to it. Using it this way should completely remove the discomfort you are feeling and you will still get all the benefits of the additional fiber in your diet.

THE WONDER WEED!
First of all...relax! We realize the title of this piece may have provoked excitement in many of you..but the 'weed' we are talking about here is the DANDELION. Yes, the enemy of suburban lawns has actually been used as a medicinal plant since the 10th century and its value to the bodybuilding community is only just beginning to be appreciated. In order to fully understand its value let's examine the facts...
DANDELION: THE HEALTH BENEFITS
Dandelion contains a wide array of nutrients including carotenoids, terpenoids, choline, potassium, vitamins D, C and B, iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It is a natural diuretic which increases urine production by promoting the excretion of salts and water from the kidneys. However, its health benefits are not just restricted to its profound diuretic effects take a look at these additional benefits you can obtain from consuming dandelion supplements...
-
Reduction of high blood pressure due to its ability to reduce the volume of fluid in the body.
-
Increased elimination of toxins via its action on the liver, kidneys and gallbladder.
-
Natural appetite stimulation.
-
Cleanses and purifies the bloodstream.
-
Assists in the alleviation of symptoms of arthritis and gout.
-
Reduces blood glucose levels.
-
Inhibits the growth of candida albicans (the fungus responsible for vaginal yeast infections).
-
Reduces the symptoms of PMS.
All of the above properties make DANDELION one weed you should definitely make a part of your daily supplement regime.
Thankfully, here at SPECIES we take your health as seriously as we take your physical appearance and because of that we try to make all our supplements with maximum health as well as enhanced performance in mind. In keeping with this rule we have added DANDELION to our water reduction product AQUALYZE.

OMEGA 3'S AND MUSCLE GROWTH...THE GREAT DEBATE....
If you have been reading all the recent news reports regarding the use of Omega-3 supplements by athletes you may have come away with the idea that possibly they are not the greatest asset to your battle for bigger biceps!
The reports highlight the fact that omega-3's may suppress the inflammatory response which is required to trigger muscle growth. Now whilst omega-3's do have potent anti-inflammatory properties they DO NOT halt muscle growth...in fact they ACTIVELY ASSIST muscle growth...and here's how....
OMEGA 3 AND 6: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids play an important role in the production of powerful hormone like substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins help regulate blood pressure, blood clotting, nerve transmissions, inflammatory and allergic responses, kidney function, gastro-intestinal function and the production of other hormones ESSENTIAL for muscle growth.
Omega-3's are also known to improve glucose metabolism in people and animals showing insulin resistance. They have also been found to improve protein metabolism - especially in muscle tissue.
Put simply...YOU NEED essential fatty acids to support muscle growth!
So next time you see a report trying to tell you that Omega-3 supplementation impairs muscle growth respond to it by simply smiling and turning the page...because now you know better!

IGF-1...THE
MELATONIN CONNECTION
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor) is a highly anabolic hormone released in the liver as well as in peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle in response to the presence of HGH(Human Growth Hormone).
IGF -1 builds new muscle tissue by promoting nitrogen retention and protein synthesis. This causes the growth of muscle tissue via an increase in muscle cells and the growth of new muscle fibers.
It also helps the body burn fat at an elevated rate and improves mental functions such as memory and learning ability.
In addition to this it is important for the production of connective tissue and for increasing bone density.
Recent research has revealed that the so called 'sleep hormone' Melatonin can actually trigger a natural increase in the levels of IGF-1. Of course this is great news for bodybuilders who wish to increase their muscle building capacity without resorting to chemical enhancement.
Here at SPECIES we have included Melatonin in our powerful overnight fat-burner SOMALYZE. The ability of this product to stimulate growth hormone release has never been questioned. However, when you add to that the fact that it also naturally increases levels of IGF-1 via the inclusion of Melatonin, it is little wonder that this has proved to be such a strong seller in our innovative supplement line.
So, if you are looking for a good night's sleep where dreams of muscle growth and fat loss prevail...take SOMALYZE tonight and you will truly LIVE THE DREAM!
