Written by | published on

If it does not make you as swole as the colorful ad promised it must not be working, right? The jury was not even any longer "out there" for glycerol, but a recent study makes you rethink, whether you just have to look in the right place to see the benefits. Another of the "odd" Thursdays without an update from "Your's Truly" Adelfo Cerame . And since there is holiday today, over here, I even thought there would not be a SuppVersity Science Round Up today. But hey, you are lucky you (and Carl) got to work, so you can tune in live at 1PM EST, or even better, start listening live at 1PM in order not to miss the Strength and Hypertrophy Round Table ! As far the  topics for today's installment of the SuppVersity Science Round Up are concerned, you are actually only a couple of lines away from reading about one that's on the list:  The effects of glycerol on exercise performance. I don't have to tell you though that this is not everyth...

Image 1: No, taurine is not made from the sperm of Belgian Blues and no it won't make you look like one overnight, either ;-) After yesterday's allegedly pretty complicated post on the fallacious ups and downs in body weight from repetitive dieting and episodes of overeating, I decided it was about time to readdress one of your all-time favorites: supplemental testosterone boosting . Instead of the next best herb from the Brazilian jungle that has a " history as a potent aphrodisiac in traditional medice " or the shrub that can be found " only in a specific region of the remote [... insert whatever your marketing guy believes would increase sales here]", I decided to take another look at one of the established readily available and dirt cheap ways to give your natural androgen production, fertility, fatty acid and glucose metabolism a leg - taurine , or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (which is, by the way, not produced from bull semen, although its name, w...

Image 1: By adding some hydroxypropyl-distarch phosphate from waxy maize starch to your pancakes you can turn it into a fat burning superfood... well, sort of ;-) Sometimes I miss studies, sometimes I file them in my candidates folder and forget about them, but most often I simply discard them. The latter also happened to a study on the effects of hydroxypropyl-distarch phosphate from waxy maize starch that was published in the British Journal of Nutrition (actually one of my favorites) in February of 2011 ( Shimotoyodome. 2011 ). Due to the unjustified hype that has surrounded its introduction to the supplement market the word(s) "waxy maize starch" had become a red rag to me and the main finding of the study, i.e. the observation of a "lower postprandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide response" only seemed to confirm my conviction that waxy maize is yet another industry scam. Waxy maize a natural cheaper Vitargo ? I don't think so! A few...
