DMAA / OxyElitePro - The Good, the Bad and the Downright Ugly - More Powerful (+180% Perf.) Than You'd Think, but ...

Written by | published on
Image
Back in the day, when the original Oxy-ELITE Pro was pulled from the market, people paid crazy amounts of money for the bottles that were left on Ebay - a big mistake! Not because it would fry your liver, but rather because it's ' stim ' effects will - just as those of other DMAA products - turn against you, w/ chronic use.  You may (rightly) be asking yourselves, why I am addressing an (albeit famous) supplement that is no longer on the market in 2016 blog post. Well, the answer is simple. I still see people whining about how "awesome" this product was all over the web. People who wish that DMAA and OxyElitePro would come back and people who would be willing to spend at least 5x the original price for the few (long expired) bottles that appear to be traded on the black market. It's those people I want to advice: Even if you ascribe the liver damage as the result of stupid overdosing and acknowledge that other products appear to be far worse (García-Cort...

Study Confirms Antioxidants (C+E) Are Bad For Healthy People Who Train, But in Some Subjects C+E Increase the Fat Loss Effects of HIIT + HIT by a Whopping 60%

The anti-long-term health, but pro short term fat loss effects of vitamin C + E I must admit that I filed the study by Paulsen et al. (2014; accepted manuscript) under "further evidence that high doses of anti-oxidants do more harm than good to active individuals" the very moment I posted the information from the corresponding press release in the SuppVersity Facebook News ( read it! ). A couple of days ago, I wanted to cite the paper in a different context and took a closer look at the actual results (yeah, even I sometimes only read the abstract) and as it turns out,... ...the scientists left out some information, you may be interested in, ... ...even though it may not be relevant from a statistical perspective. How I know things about your interests?Based on the visitor statistics of the SuppVersity . I just have to take a brief look at them to know that the vast majority of you will be intrigued to hear that the "daily vitamin C and E supplementation...

Chronic High Dose BCAA Supplementation Reduces Endurance Performance by 43% Plus: How Ammonia, Glutamine, Arginine & Low Carb Could be Involved

Tired, exhausted, had to cut your workout short today? Is it the flu, or just too much BCAAs? When some is good and more is better, even more is not necessarily going to be 'betterer' - and that's not simply due to the fact that there is no comparative to an adjective that's already in the comparative. Therefore it is actually not surprising that a team of researchers from the Department of Food and Experimental Nutrition at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences , the Department of Nutrition at the School of Public Health and the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Sã o Paulo in Brazil has just published the results of a study (Falavigna. 2012) which demonstrates that there is an upper limit to the benefits of BCAA supplementation. What I guess will be surprising at least for some not so regular SuppVersity visitors, is that there is more than just a saturation effect: Too much BCAAs can actuall...

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...
