Liver Care

By: Duane Keizs

QUESTION: Do liver detox products have any place within the sports nutrition world? If so, what reputable products and brands can I trust?

ANSWER: Herbal detox supplements definitely have a place in the world of creatine, protein, nitrates, aminos etc. You’ve all heard of the expression, you can’t build a house unless you have a foundation?  Well, many herbs as well as vitamin and minerals, are part of that foundation.

FDA contacting Bodybuilding.com customers

Posted By Anthony Roberts on anthonyroberts.co.za

Earlier today, members of the Bodybuilding.com message board began reporting that they’d been contacted by the FDA. The substance of the contact revolved around the purchase of pro-hormones and designer steroids from the company, and whether any adverse side effects were experienced by the customer. It appears that the FDA is serious about landing some indictments as a result of last year’s raid on Bodybuilding.com, and before 2010 is over, I expect at least one of the DeLuca’s to be trying on a pair of matching silver bracelets.

Ginkgo Biloba Does NOT Prevent Memory Loss

The Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory (GEM) study examined whether a twice-daily 120-mg dose of the supplement affected the rate of cognitive change over time in older adults. U.S. researchers conducted randomized clinical trials of 3,069 participants aged 72 to 96 years, between 2000 and 2008. They found no evidence that Ginkgo Biloba might slow mental decline in healthy, aging individuals, or in people already showing the first signs of cognitive impairment. The researchers found that the results remained the same regardless of sex, age, race or education. The study, led by Dr. Steven T. DeKosky, of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, was published last week on The Journal of the American Medical Association.

Written by Scott Welch, Supplement Genius

American Generic Labs has reformulated their popular line of Ephedra based diet pills with what they’re calling “new and improved” proprietary ingredients that comply with recent FDA regulation changes. Superdrine, Metabothin, Ripped Power and Yellow Devils are all manufactured by American Generic Labs. The original Ephedra product line, launched in 2006, had decent commercial success and the product development team at American Generic Labs worked diligently to develop the product line further. According to the company, the new proprietary blends include Ginseng, Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly and the maximum legal amounts of ephedra extracts. (Editors Note: They did not specify in their press release what the amount of ephedrine will be in these products or if it will be at all.) But Frank Turner, Director of product development at American Generic Labs touts the new and improved product releases as being in their words the “Best natural weight loss pills available“. A bold claim indeed.


Money Back Guarantee

The folks at American Generic Labs are prepared to stand by their claims with a customer satisfation guarantee. They have partnered with Netnutri.com to offer a Free Sample of its “Yellow Devils” Weight loss pill to the public. The free offer will allow consumers to test the products for free.

Fat Attack! OEA: How Your Gut Says “Enough is Enough”

Written by Dan Gwartney, MD

Obesity has increasingly become a health crisis, causing lives to be shortened and medical care costs to skyrocket. Surprisingly, the government and media have demonized supplements and over-the-counter weight loss products. Obesity has increasingly become a health crisis, causing lives to be shortened and medical care costs to skyrocket. Surprisingly, the government and media have demonized supplements and over-the-counter weight loss products. Two effective weight loss ingredients, phenylpropanolamine (PPA, previously found in Dexatrim) and ephedrine (the active ingredient in ephedra-based supplements), have been removed from the market due to reported adverse side effects.1,2 The case against PPA has been criticized and appears to be insufficient for the action, particularly when one argument was that obesity is not a pressing concern to American health care.3 Ephedrine has been associated with serious consequences, including death, though many of the cases involved abuse of the Herbals for its stimulant effect or use by people with pre-existing disease or poor physical condition.4  Read More >>
