Welcome to today's installment of " on short notice " You may remember from the SuppVersity news on Facebook that the use of cobalt supplements can indeed (as it has long been touted and doubted) have similar effects as EPO ( Hoffmeister 2018 ). Yet while the study by Hoffmeister et al. showed that the VO2max correlated significantly with the 2% increase in Hemoglobin in response to the ingestion of  5 mg of ionized Co2+ for 3 weeks, an acute performance-enhancing effect was neither tested nor observed in the German study. That's in contrast to autologous (=your own) blood infusions. A simple injection of only ~135 ml of red blood cells that were previously isolated from 450 ml of your own blood 2h before training or competition will improve your endurance performance by 5%, ... according to the latest study from the  University of Copenhagen  ( Bejder 2018 ). High-protein diets are much safer than some 'experts' say, but there are things to cons...

Matcha releases more antioxidants than tea leaves (Fujioka. 2016). Only recently, you've read the "Caffeine June 2017 Research Update" [ (re-)read it ] here at the SuppVersity . Some of the effects of green tea have thus already been discussed. After all, caffeine is one of the health-relevant ingredients of tea; it is, however, not the most important one. As Yuan Fen et al. explain in their latest meta-analysis of the effects of green tea on blood lipids, tea can be classified as green tea, oolong tea or black tea depending on the manufacturing process" (Fen 2017). What exactly it is that mediates the various health benefits of tea (inflammation, hypertension/heart disease, and cancer | Serafini 2011) and their potency may thus differ slightly from tea to tea.

"Hon, are you crazy? Don't check your Facebook or WhatsApp now, get the protein shake in, immediately" - After reading about the latest (unfortunately partly yet unpublished) research some trainers may actually say just that to their female clients if they don't gulp down their protein shakes immediately after their workout ;-) There's no question that the prevalent notion that "if you don't get those 30+ grams of whey protein in, within the first 30 minutes after your workouts, you've wasted your time in the gym" is absolutely bogus, the last months have seen the publication/announcement of a handful of studies that support the notion that nutrient timing does, after all, still matter for gains and recovery. As a SuppVersity  reader, you will know both: That the majority of hitherto published research "refute the commonly held belief that the timing of protein intake in and around a training session is critical to muscular adaptations...

Post-Workout Ketone Salts Could Augment Your Gains, New Study Suggests - How Convincing is the Latest Evidence?

Written by | published on

Are the University of Oxford's  patented ketone ester supplements really yet another "must have" supplement for your post-workout shake or are the subliminally promised increased gains unlikely, if not impossible to happen? As highlighted in my recent write-up of the "ketone supplement [allegedly] boosts glycogen (re-)synthesis" study ( read it ), there's another very recent study on the effects of a ketone ester drink during recovery from exercise. The study comes from researchers from the KU Leuven in Belgium, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and the University of Oxford  - at least one of the authors, i.e. Kieran Clarke, does, therefore, have the same vested financial interest in a beneficial study outcome I've already mentioned in the discussion of the  Holdsworth study . You know that, for me, that's not a reason to doubt the results of the study per se; the potential bias, however, is of particular importance when it comes...
