MSM Cures Exercise Related Joint & Muscle Pain, But May Effect Immunity | Arginine Silicate Delivers, but Practically Relevant Data is Still Missing | ISSN Research Review '15 #5

Written by | published on

Exercise induced joint and muscle pain - Can a few grams MSM help? In this installment of the SuppVersity ISSN '15 Research Re- or rather Overview I couldn't really find a common theme. With two studies on MSM and one on arginine silicate you could probably best call it the "less researched supplement review". Many people probably don't even know that MSM stands for "methylsulfonylmethane" and the notion that one could benefit from inositol-stabilized arginine silicate was - I openly admit that - complete news to me, too.

Synephrine More Ergogenic, Than Thermogenic? Pump Supps Revisited - L-Arginine, L-Citrulline and Respective Whey-Peptides & -Nitrates | ISSN Research Review '15 #2

Synephrine, arginine, citrulline - Which pre-workout ensures that you're "on fire"? As I pointed out previously , my initial idea to cherry pick only the most interesting study results that were presented in form of of poster presentations at the Twelfth International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Conference and Expo in 2015 didn't work out. The number of interesting studies is is simply too much for a single SuppVersity  article to discuss them all. Accordingly, I am now posting the 2nd serving of what is going to be a multi-part series of articles with brief discussions of the most significant results of the >20 studies and short references to those that didn't make the SuppVersity  cut in this, previous and future installments of this series for one reason or another.

Teddy bears are like vitamin C and zinc. They can help you when you are already sick, but what are supplements athletes and gymrats take in advance to survive the flu season without getting sick at all? Specifically during the winter time, hard working athlete and manic gymrats can be particularly susceptible to all sorts of infections. To help you having to work out with a handkerchief in your hand all winter long, I have compiled a non-comprehensive list of supplements that may help you to maintain and even improve your immune defenses and thus to survive the cold and dark winter times without catching a cold or even the flu. In their recent review in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition Vinicius Fernandes Cruzat, MaurĂ­cio Krause and Philip Newsholme reviewed the extensive literature on nutritional supplements that act as immuno-nutrients, may to reduce immunosuppression and excessive inflammation in hard-training athletes and gymrats like yourself (or ...

Science is still wrestling with evidence in favor vs. against l-arginine Actually the study at hand is not really exciting, the researchers from the Near East University Medical School in Cyprus recruited nine male national and international level wrestlers put them on more or less standardized diets, forbid them to work out and or use caffeine, stimulants or other ergogenic supplements and fed them 1.5g arginine per 10kg body weight (that's 12grams for someone with a body weight of 80kg). Aside from the dosage, which would be on the higher side compared to the average arginine trial, there were no significant differences to study protocols you know.

L-Arginine - 6g/Day Boost Cholesterol- & Non-Esterified Fatty Acid Lowering Effects of Resistance Training. Are Classic Pre-Workouts Actually "Health Supplements"?

Written by | published on

Lifting will improve your blood lipids, l-arginine will boost the effect. In the spirit of Tuesday's post on the potential negative effects of nitrate supplements on weight loss ( learn more + see box below for some important clarifications), I would like to invite you to take a look at the effects of "short-term  L-arginine  supplementation  on  lipid  profile  and  inflammatory proteins after acute resistance exercise in overweight men" as they are about to be reported in one of the future issues of e-SPEN, the European e-Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism by Nascimento et al. (Nascimento. 2014) - it's not essentially new, but actually quite a nice reminder of the fat that what I said about l-arginine in the nitrate article was not all made up. An addendum to the nitrate study: Even a persistent 5% reduction in RMR would not necessarily inhibit weight loss + you can argue that your body needs less energy / oxygen, because it works...
