A bone to pick with calcium supplement manufacturers

As seen in Vitalitie Quebec Magazine As seen in Vitality Magazine Original post: February 23, 2011 The Osteoclast - Osteoblast Axis Bone health has been a subject of contention and a target of the health products industry since the inception of the industry. We’ve come a long way since calcium from limestone was the recommended bone support. However, still to this day, too many so-called bone support supplements are simply useless and current research is indicating that man

Eggsact supplement for bone health

As seen in Living Well Magazine Original post: February 21, 2011 Research today is confirming that calcium supplementation is far from the remedy for the epidemic proportions of North American osteoporosis. Additionally, the exorbitant calcium load from poorly formulated calcium sources may also be increasing the risk for cardiovascular disease. The typical North American diet is not necessarily deficient in calcium but rather prolific with factors that extract calcium from

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPENSATION WITH ASA or White Willow: ANTI-AGING PROTOCOL?

ASA versus White Willow Bark Extract Original post: February 18, 2011 Aspirin or ASA, as I’ve outlined previously, works its cardiovascular preventive wonders by blocking COX activity, thereforethwarting production of the pro-inflammatory PGE2 and the clot-inducing thromboxane TXA2 (17, 18). Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol and other such pharmaceuticals, inhibits inflammation by retarding PGH (see Figure 13) activity (19). It’s through this chemistry that thes

How Insulin Efficiency can Maximize your Workout Results Original post: February 14, 2011 Your capacity to efficiently recover from daily training is related to insulin efficiency. Your ability to tolerate lactic acid burn and the day after soreness from oxidative burn is intimately related to insulin efficiency and the inflammatory hormone (PGE-2) that it may help regulate. This metabolic science is more complex than we describe in these short pieces but over time and mult

Insulin Efficiency Leads to Faster, Bigger, Leaner Gains Original post: February 11, 2011 One of the major underlying forces that drives lean mass anabolism and thermogenic elimination of unwanted body fat is insulin. Optimally functioning insulin activity can contribute to optimal protein synthesis, anabolic drive and lean muscle production. On the other hand, insulin inefficiency or resistance can make your lean gains proportionally difficult to attain. In addition, lack

Insulin Efficiency's role in Fat Burning Original post: February 11, 2011 Insulin drives nutrients into cells, it maintains muscle-promoting anabolism for lean gains, it drives prostaglandin output to influence recovery rate from training, it influences nitric oxide regulation and, yes, insulin efficiency keeps the thermogenic fat cells involved in fat elimination in the ON position. Insulin resistance is common amongst us but most people battling this compromised insulin and

Weekend Warrior Syndrome - Does exercise binging do any good?

If you’ve taken time off from training, you know that you’ll be extremely sore after a workout if you resume with the same workout intensity that you left off with. Original post: February 3, 2011 A main factor contributing to the soreness is the spontaneous decline in carnosine status and other specialized antioxidants in the muscle due to the low work load in those preceding weeks off. On the other hand, as the weeks go by and your training has remained consistent your body
