Essential Fatty Acids are essential nutrients just like vitamins and minerals. EFAs help control a large amount of the cellular processes along with increasing the fluid of cell membranes and improving their abilities. Numerous studies have shown that supplementing your diet with EFAs like those found in Omegalyze by Species Nutrition can help us out in many different ways that include:

• Cancer prevention
• Diabetes
• Brain function
• Arthritis
• Boost immune system

Most people avoid fat and are on low fat diets. With constant research and development we now know that some fat is essential to our well being. . One new product that has everyone talking here at I-supplements is Omegalyze from big Dave Palumbo’s new product line called Species Nutrition. Omegalyze offers a complete and balance of essential fatty acids. If you are training for a show or if you are following a strict diet we have good news for you, Omegalyze may reduce your appetite. Warning not all fish oil supplements are created equal. Make sure when you purchase a fish oil supplement that it is pure and free of environmental toxins and waste. Omegalyze by Species Nutrition is made with real quality materials. Big Dave Palumbo recommends 3 softgels daily for maximum results.

Josh was one of 16 fighters from across the United States to compete on The Ultimate Fighter Season 1, which airs on Spike TV still today. As a Mixed Martial Arts Veteran, Josh has had over 25 fights since 1998 and continues his career into 2009. Josh is also a coach and mentor to many amateur and professional fighters in his hometown of Cincinnati, OH.

Here at I-supplements we receive many questions on how to achieve more muscle in less time. One of the first things we recommend for any athlete or bodybuilder is to add in a late night protein shake. This protocol starts with setting your alarm so you can get up in the middle of the night to have your extended release protein drink. If you are like me, chances are you frequent the restroom at least once if not several times during the night. That would also be a great time to slam a shake down. My favorite new protein product Syntha 6 by BSN is perfect for this program. This all in one protein is great for nighttime use and provides many benefits for users such as:

• Sustained release of protein good for up to 7 hours
• Loaded with BCAAs
• Contains glutamine
• Rich in fiber
• Active protein utilization enzymes

In the movie Million Dollar Baby, Hilary Swank had to pack on some serious size to play the role of a female boxer. Hilary put on around twenty pounds of muscle for her Oscar winning performance in the Clint Eastwood smash hit. One of her secrets was waking up in the middle of the night to take in additional protein. She did this by consuming a shake that contained egg whites and protein. I say forget about the egg whites and give Syntha 6 by BSN a try. One more advantage that Syntha 6 has over every other protein on the market is its delicious taste. WE highly recommend the chocolate peanut butter and the cookies and cream.

I have loved Schwartz Laboratories for years now. This mid size company has impressed me with nearly every product I try. The new Ultimate Burn is no exception. Ultimate Burn by Schwartz Laboratories was released a little more than 6 weeks ago and has already shown unusually strong sales and favorable feedback from our customers.

One thing that I can say is that they are not kidding with the warning on the label. “This product is hot as hell”. Well, technically I do not know how hot hell is but this product is literally Hot. To be honest the first two doses kinda messed with my gut – like hot wings, but since then I have had no problem. Hot food has long been thought to create or promote weight loss – the book “The Fat-Burning Diet” utilizes spicy food to kindle the fat burning fire. Well, look carefully at the “Heat Complex” added by the ingenious group at Schwartz. This is powerful stuff. I can not stand to to cardio, in fact, I usually walk on a treadmill and watch tv to get through the terrible chore. I typically would work up a little bit of a sweat but not nearly the clothes drenching sweats I remember from my BB era. Not with Ultimate Burn by Schwartz Laboratories! I am coming off soaked – from a brisk walk. I also find my self working longer on the treadmill – which is not normal.

So who like it and why…

• Weight lifters and other performance athletes have loved the way it seems that get them warm and pulsing to perform.
• Dieters enjoy the energy and appetite suppression.
• Our Ephedrine customers have given it the thumbs up.

Laid over the top of the Heat Complex is a ephedrine (27 mg), caffeine and thermogenic blend as well as a thyroid stimulating complex that is like icing on this killer fat burning cupcake (i think it’s time for lunch). Ultimate Burn really lights up energy levels and fires up fat burning.

Many of us have felt exhausted after a long day of work and are looking for an extra boost before our workouts. Here at I-supplements we are excited about these new super bodybuilding energizers. Pre-workout supplements can be an exciting and beneficial addition to your training program. Several years back most pre-workout formulas were loaded with sugar and caffeine. Thanks to modern science and countless hours in the gym, some of our industry leaders have finally figured it out. NO-Xplode by BSN and Fast Twitch are two of many new school pre-workout drinks that deliver large amounts of energy and focus, along with other benefits that include:

• Provide Explosive Power
• Extra Blood Flow
• Increase in Performance
• Fat Loss
• Massive Pumps

My training partner and I have been training with some powerlifters for about two years now and these guys use NO-Xplode every workout! This product is fueled with L-arginine and dicreatine malate, and other growth factors. My friends and I have had great results when we would take 2 scoops of NO-Xplode about 45 minutes before our workout. It’s also a good idea to take this product on an empty stomach. After your grueling workout it is important to make sure that you properly recover. A protein shake should be consumed right after your training session along with some glutamine. Pump up your workout; pump up your attitude with NO-Xplode by BSN.

At i-Supplements we work with many athletes from a variety of sports on nutrition and supplementation. Many of our athletes are young and participate in scholastic sports like football and baseball. Some common question we get from parents and student athletes are how to gain weight in the off-season and also how to keep our newly added muscle during the season. Before we develop a supplement program for young athletes, we first make sure that there is a significant increase in calories. The easiest way to jump start this program is to add in a custom weight-gain shake. A weight-gainer shake can help the young athlete with many things such as:

• Muscular support
• Increase in mass
• Faster recovery
• Healthy breakfast
• Provides essential nutrients

Many of us are working on dropping the pounds while these kids get to enjoy a calorie rich diet that includes large amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Below I’m going to list two samples weight-gain shakes that have been used with great success.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Mass

1 cup of milk

2 scoops of your favorite weight-gainer

2 tbsps natural peanut butter

4 ice cubes

Big Banana

1 cup of milk

2 scoops of weigh-gainer

2 bananas

2 tbsps of natural peanut butter

The best time to consume a weight-gain power shakes is for breakfast and right after practice or training. My two favorite weight gainers are True Mass by BSN and N Large 2 by Prolab.

Several of my friends have ordered Vector Shots from I-Supplements.com and have had great results to the point to where they won’t go out without Vector shots.

Red Dawn products are also perfect for people who are following a strict diet or for people who are training for a competition and cannot compromise their nutrition program.

It is almost seven years ago that the FDA got there eyes fixed on prohormones. They changed the bodybuilding and natural prohormone landscape and not for the better. Since that time it has been back to the basics or the “darkside” for those hungry for lean muscle gains and an advantage in the never ending world of getting leaner. There are several products that have I have tried that are the same chemical family but Spawn by Myogenix is very different. They had combined two very intriguing ingredients with slightly different chemical preparations than typically seen.

So how can products with the same ingredients/compounds work so different? I have asked these hard question of product manufactures for years now and the answer make sense actually. Here are a few things that can effect it.

• Poor Grade Raw Materials to Start – known for the worst compounds tested – china pumps poor grade compounds into the US health and vitamin market
• Transportation and Handling the raw ingredients – changing temp, humidity, contamination and more
• Poor / non certified manufacturing facilities and techniques – there is a ton of this especially in the “grey area” supplements like prohormone. Hopefully the governments new GMP’s (i.e. manufacturing rules) will help this.
• Poor Storage of finished product – too hot – too cold – sun light – humidity
• Improper Use by Customer – my biggest pet peeve is people who do not “take as directed”

While I hesitate to say that Spawn by Myogenix is the best prohormone supplement I have ever tried, I WILL say this is one of the top five products available right now at i-Supplements.com. Hopefully Myogenix will keep the quality coming and we will see more products that meet label claim and work.

“Mask,” one of the popular real-life characters from MMA apparel giant Tapout, died early this morning in a automobile accident in California.

Mask, who’s real name is Charles Lewis Jr., died when his red Ferrari Modena crashed into a utility pole in Newport Beach at approximately 1 a.m. local time.

The driver of a second car, an older-model white Porsche that is believed to have been traveling at a high rate of speed next to Lewis’ car, has been arrested on gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, a Newport Beach Police Department representative reported.

On a personal note, I watched the TAPOUT television show on Versus and always tried to sport Mask, Scrape, and Punkass in the crowd at MMA events.  They seem like great guys that were really into helping out up and coming fighters.  I know Josh Rafferty at I-supplements.com knows the TAPOUT CREW and has always spoke very highly of them.  This is a loss to the MMA community, it is a sad day.  RIP MASK

For all of us who live in the mid west and on the east coast it’s getting close to that time of year again. Summer is right around the corner, are you ready for the beach or pool? With a long winter many of us stay inside and don’t get a chance to get out and exercise plus lets not forget about all of the holidays and the over eating that come along with it. If you want to turn some heads I would recommend a serious training program in addition to a sound nutrition plan. It’s a good idea to combine strength training with intense cardio 3-4 days per week. If you want to look good eat good, it’s that simple. Many people that I have worked with have great results with lean protein, a complex carb, and a fibrous carbohydrate source with each meal. To jump-start your progress I would suggest adding a thermogenic supplement to this fat fighting arsenal. Thermogenics and fat burners offer many benefits that can:

• Promotes fat loss
• Increase in energy levels
• Great for pre workout
• Feeling of well being
• Reduces hunger cravings

Here at I-supplements we have a super special selection of fat burners and ephedra diet pills. My favorite slimming supplement is Green Stinger Ephedra from Schwartz Labs. Green Stinger has 27mg of ephedra extract along with numerous other fat burning substances. This stuff is a 10 out of 10. See you guys at the beach; I’ll be the guy with the sun block on my nose saying I told you so.
