Written by | published on

You will find dozens of ginger + lemon water recipes on the internet - all of them can pimp your peri-workout drinks and make your tummies "exercise proof". As a regular here at the SuppVersity  you know about the beneficial health effects of ginger . It has potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects without the usual side-effects of COX-inhibitors (Mashhadi. 2013), has been shown to have anti-cancer effect on it's own (Kim. 2005), as well as to be a perfect adjunct for conventional cancer therapy (Sontakke. 2003). Ginger has also been shown to exert cardioprotective effects (Ghayur. 2005; Singletary. 2010), strengthens the immune system (Butt. 2011) and significant beneficial effects on the health of the digestive system - including the make-up of your microbiome (Sutherland. 2009). One thing that should be in your peri-workout (best post-workout) regimen is  creatine   Creatine Doubles 'Ur GainZ! Creatine, DHT & Broscience Creatine Bett...

If you don't have ginger powder, just shred a fresh rhizome. That's by the way what the researchers did, as well. Yeah, we all know "Ginger is good for your glucose metabolism". We all know "there are dozens of rodent studies that support it's benefits". And we also know that there is evidence from acute interventions that indicate that ginger can ameliorate the glucose response to oral glucose tolerance tests. But do we know, whether the regular consumption of realistic amounts of pure ginger will have beneficial effects on the glucose levels of those who would benefit the most, i.e. type II aka "lifestyle" diabetics? You can learn more about glucose control at the SuppVersity Proteins, Peptides & Blood Glucose SFA, MUFA, PUFA & Blood Glucose The VitaminS E & Glucose Control B-Vitamins & Glucose Control Vitamin A & Glucose Control Fat to Blunt Insulin?

Written by | published on

Lemon Juice, Resistant Starch, Coffee, Blueberries, Chili, Ginseng, Ginger, Mate, Gymnema Sylvestre, Bitter Melon - they are all in this fourth serving of the insulin sensitizing supplements series and they are all in this collage. Can you identify all of them? First of all, let me thank you for flooding me with good suggestions for supplements that should be discussed in this last installment of the series . It's Friday now that I start writing this post and it is probably going to be Sunday, before I find the time to finish the last of your suggestions; and that despite the fact that I am going to try to cut the infos short when I can foresee that it is not worth going into more details, anyway. Not worth going into details? Yep, one of the supps, where this is clearly the case was suggested by Colby who wants me to address sodium-R-lipoic acid , which is nothing else but R-ALA and in my mind a scientifically unsupported spin-off of ALA that may in fact be inferior to the r...

Diet + Exercise + Kitchen Sink Fat Burner Promote Weight Loss in Two-Months Study on Overweight Adults. Additional 2kg Fat Loss - Are Ozzy's Raspberries to "Blame"?

Written by | published on

No this is not Liza Oz after taking Mehmet's beloved RK supplements ;-) The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition is one of the few "major" scientific journals, where scientists can actually publish those studies, "healthy freaks" (no, not "health freaks", but people who are still healthy and thus freaks ;-) like us are interested in. Studies such as the one Hector L Lopez and his colleagues conducted; studies that investigate the effects and effectiveness of dietary supplements such as Prograde Metabolism (TM), a proprietary blend "fat burner" containing your usual blend of B-vitamins, chromium, caffeine, citrus aurantium, ginger, garlic, capsaicin, l-theanine and piper nigrum... ah, and of course as the #1 ingredient on the label Raspberry-K (TM). Too much blubber? "Grab the rasp and berry it off!" Ah, well... Hold on, another of those "proprietary blend studies"? Can we even trust the data...

Fighting to Stay Lean? These 20+ Anti-Obesity Agents Have the Potential to Inhibit Fat Gain Right at the Cellular Level

Written by | published on

No, none of the 20 agents in the list below is going to do the work for you, but they could help you "conserve" the results, keep you lean on a bulk and/or avoid the hazardous Yoyo effect when you go off a die. It's actually normal that the introduction is the last part of an article I write. What's special about today's SuppVersity article is thus not that I write the introduction at the end, but that I did not really know what I would be writing here, when I set out to compile the unsorted (but not chaotic) list of potential anti-obesity agents below. All of them act by pathway(s) you as a SuppVersity reader will have read about before, most prominently AMPK , and the peroxisome proliferator receptors (PPARs), of which the blockade of the obesogenic PPAR-gamma pathway, which is the main working principle of CLA turned out to be the go-to explanation for the ability of these agents to block both the differentiation of adipocytes and the storage of tr...
