Image 1: Scientifically proven muscle builder - 2.1kg lean mass in 3 months, no post-cycle therapy necessary! I was just about to write another one of my artistic introductions, trying to incorporate all the exciting On Short Notice news I've piled up for you into a brief narrative, when I realized that you probably don't really appreciate those introductions (I guess, I would skip them myself, so don't worry, this is more of an objective assessment than an accusation). So, I listened to my gut and decided to skip this part of this series, today, and rather spend the time to edit another item I did actually not want to post today. It's the one on the "IIFYM slightly gone wrong fast food bulk" in the Hambre study, to be precise; and I would venture the guess that you won't mind taking that instead of a longer introduction, once you've read and digested the impossible: You cannot only gain muscle with "fast food supplements", you won'...

Image 1: It is hilarious this picture was probably shot and (ab-)used to propagate the unhealthy message that you could never get enough omega-3 fatty acids from your diet, because that would mean you had to eat such nasty stuff as fish - pah, better pop some pills, I mean we are in the 21st century right!? I guess you will remember my previous blogpost,  " TTA + Fish Oil - Fat Burning Superfats or Hepatoxic Pro-Oxidants? ", on the 2012 study by Vigerust et al. which did show that TTA could ameliorate the hepatoxic side effects of fish oil, which, when it is administered in amounts higher than 1-2g per day over an extended time period, begins to accumulate in the liver (see also " Too Much of a Good(?) Thing: When Fish Oil Starts Clogging Your Arteries and Fattening Up Your Liver "). Moreover, the addition of ~912.4mg ( human equivalent ) TTA to the "long-term fish oil = fatty liver"-equation turned produced a pretty potent fat burning and anti-obesity...

TTA + Fish Oil - Fat Burning Superfats or Hepatoxic Pro-Oxidants? Why You Better Avoid Large Amounts of Omega-3 and Tetradecylthioacetic Acid in the Long Run

Image 1: Even if you align them like that, it is at least debatable whether capped fish oil is much more natural than the structurally modified 16 -carbon saturated fatty acid tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA). As far as their effects on weight loss are concerned, the latter is certainly more potent,... the debate on the side-effects of both is yet still far from being settled. Despite the mainstream hoopla around the former... At least for those of you who have been around the supplement world for some time, the acronym TTA, which stands for tetradecylthioacetic acid , a structurally modified 16 -carbon saturated fatty acid (SFA), which has been shown to increase fatty acid oxidation and reduce triglyceride levels via interactions with purportedly all PPAR-receptors, should ring a bell. For the rest, it will yet probably be news that, back in the early 2000s, TTA was all the rave as the new star among OTC-fat burners. And in fact, the weight loss people experienced on respective pr...

An Old Dog Learns New Tricks: "Fatloss Fat" Tetradecylthioacetic Acid (TTA) Cardioprotective in Diabetic Rats

Do you remember the acronym TTA? Tetradecylthioacetic Acid ? No. Well, I guess then you were not into fat burners in the early 2000s. TTA , a thia-fatty acid, was all the rage back in the day: Supplement producers claimed it would literally melt fat away and it actually turned out that some users had outstanding results megadosing respective supplements. Others, however, got bloated and/or started cramping . In view of these nasty side effects, most companies decided to reformulate their products and - with the exception of a few so-called "non-thermogenic" fat burners - TTA has almost disappeared from the market. An international team of scientists from Norway and Canada ( Khalid. 2011 ) has now discovered that the artificial fatty acid tetradecylthioacetic acid, which was originally intended as a drug for the treatment of the metabolic syndrome, might have the potential to protect type II diabetics from heart attacks. In a previous study ( Hafstad. 2009 ) the scientist...
