Regular POMj did the ergogenic trick. Pomegranate is one out of a dozen of purported "superfoods" that actually has research backing up its efficacy. With the publication of a recent study by scientists from the  University of Sfax and the  Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg in Germany (Ammar. 2016). What makes the study at hand more interesting than most of the previously published studies is that the authors investigated the effect of natural Pomegranate juice supplementation on performance and acute and delayed responses of muscle soreness and biomarkers of muscle damage not in response to endurance training, but rather in response to a weightlifting training session.

Curcumin, Genistein, Pomegranate & Co. - A Dirty Dozen of Supplements & Foods to Keep Your Prostate Cancer Free

Written by | published on

Which of the dirty dozen of supplements and foodstuffs in today's SuppVersity review can really help you to make sure, you're not the one out of those nine men who develops prostate cancer? Supplements that are supposed to protect you from developing prostate cancer and/or agents that may help patients with existing prostate issues are - obviously - in high demand. And as W. Merkle points out in a recent article in the German science journal Urologe using them - even if they may not be as effective as some patients may believe - makes sense: from a psychological perspective, alone (Merkle. 2014). Taking a pill with selenium, for example, has been shown to alleviate some of the side effects of chemotherapy. General protective effects against prostate cancer, on the other hand, have not been established. In fact, the most recent studies rather suggest that "supplementation did not benefit men with low selenium status but increased the risk of high-grade PCa among men ...

As the data in the graphs at the bottom shows, only vigorous physical activity (right), yet not moderate (middle), let alone light physical activity (left) will help kids to stave off the bad visceral body fat, which increases their waist line from year to year. The photo in the background was by the way taken in 1989 on Orchard Beach, in the Bronx. If I remember correctly that's 6 years before the release of Nintendo's first "Game Boy". And yeah, I got one and it really doubled if not tripled my sedentary time! 7 minutes! That's the SuppVersity figure of the week and a number that should actually ring a bell with everyone of you who is following my advice and pays a daily visit to the SuppVersity Facebook Wall . "Seven minutes" that's what scientists from the University of Alberta and their Canadian colleagues believe would be the amount of "vigorous physical activities" our kids should get (Hay. 2012). I am not sure, if those sc...

Going Nuts On Berries: Ellagic Acid in Rasp- + Blueberries, Pecans, Walnut and Co Can Protect You From Belly Fat

Written by | published on

Image 1: I hope you are not one of the guys who spits the tiny seeds of the raspberries out. That is not just disgusting, you would also spit away ~90% of their ellagic acid content. Nuts and fruits, once hailed as healthy superfoods have been under serious scrutiny within the sometimes overtly "health-conscious" blogosphere. Yeah, consumed in excess both will make you fat; but I would venture the guess that it would be easier to kill yourself by drinking too much water, than by eating too many almonds and bananas... well, before I get derailed here, let's take a look at the data from a recently published study on the effects of ellagic acid, a dilactone of two gallic acid molecules that is found in a wide variety of - guess what? - nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashews, brazil nuts, etc.) and fruits (raspberries, pomegranates, grapes and blackcurrants, plums, grapes, cherries and the list goes on)! Good for your heart, good for your gut, good for your metabolism, ... bu...

CLnA, the "Omega-3 Variety" of CLA from Pomegranate & Co, Has Potent Anti-Obesity Effects and the Potential to Become More Than Just Another Anti-Diabetes Drug.

Written by | published on

Image 1: Pomegranate - I loved to eat them even before I realized that their seeds are the #1 dietary source (83%) of punic acid. While more and more people are beginning to grasp the notion that with (naturally occurring) fats - as with everything else in life - there is no simple "good" and "bad", no clearcut "black" and "white" and no definite "beneficial" and "detrimental". The number of different fatty acids and their respective effects on the human metabolism is so vast that it is pretty hard to keep track of all those varieties of saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids. I would thusly not be surprised if you simply assumed that the "n" in the headline of this blogpost was a type that had slipped in because poor Dr.Andro is chronically stressed from Christmas shopping... well, while the latter is actually correct, the former is not: CLnA is actually the omega-3 variety of the famous conjugated linoic ac...

Pomegranate for Prostate, Rheuma, Breast Cancer, Aromatase, Obesity, Diabetes, Inflammation, HIV, Influenza, Herpes, Crohn's, Hepatitis, Infertility ... You Name It!

Image 1: This drawing from a German 1885 compendium on the flora in Germany, Austria and Switzerland shows that other than Acai & Co, pomegranate is no exotic (expensive and useless) discovery of some fly-by-night supplement vendor. People are always all the rave, when some clever scientist (or should I say business man?) dug up another of those exotic fruit from a godforsaken valley somewhere in the African or South-American primeval forests. With the hype around ACAI & Co they often forget that there have been real Superfoods just around the corner, right in their local grocery store for years. Pomegranate, as it becomes increasingly evident from recent research, is one of these Superfoods - one that has even been mentioned in the Book of Exodus and has been part of the Ayurevedic tradition for centuries, now. While I have been following the research for some months now, the one mind-boggling study result has always been missing so that this is in fact the first blogpos...
