Many people take yohimbine before cycling, but few know that it's not just increasing fat loss, but also their cycling performance on the bike. Yes, it's not exactly what most people use yohimbine for. Rather than for ergogenic purposes, yohimbine is usually use do lose fat and, more specifically, to target "stubborn body fat" ( find out if that works ). A recent study from the Al-Mustansiriya and Kabala Universities did yet find that "yohimbine accelerates and improves cycling performances via positive ergogenic effects" (Al-Kuraishy. 2014). If this is actually true, the authors, Al-Kuraishy and Abood, would in fact be right to say that "yohimbine can be used as ergogenic agent for ameliorating the physical fatigue" (Al-Kuraishy. 2014). If you don't want to / cannot use yohimbine try  coffee  or caffeine Remember: With Coffee More Won't Help More Coffee - The Good, Bad & Interesting Three Cups of Coffee Keep Insulin A...

True or False: Yohimbine Sheds "Stubborn" Ab & Thigh Fat in Women (+Men)? Plus: Is the Way You Administer the Alpha-2 Antagonist the Main Determinant of Fat Loss?

If all the training and dieting in the world won't let the thigh-fat (women) and abdominal blubber (men) melt, it's about time to buy some yohimbine...true? It's part of the bro-scientific basics: If you use yohimbine, its effects on the alpha-receptors will help you to preferentially burn "stubborn" body fat. This is supposed to be true for women, in particular. Unlike men, who are carrying most of their body fat in the abdominal region, the ladies are usually battling their "healthy", but ugly fat stores in the thigh region. Now, this wouldn't be so much of a problem, if those nasty fat pads didn't persist until other, certainly more aesthetic "fat pads" in the upper body shriveled away. So, if yohimbine, which is usually combined with a whopping dose of caffeine, would work the way the bros say it does, this would certainly be an awesome thing for both ladies and gents ;-) You can find more True or False articles at the Sup...

This photo of a 37-year old woman some of you may already have seen Facebook testifies to the success of 12 weeks on 333U/cc retinol cream + high intensity laser pulses (Fink. 2006) I guess, or should I say, I'd hope (?) that some of you have already been waiting eagerly for the write-up of yesterday's Special Installment of the SuppVersity Science Round-Up on the Super Human Network and all the details and obviously the supps, Carl and I could not squeeze into this 1h+ show. Before you go over this huge (and this is also why it took me so long to post this) serving of the "Seconds", I do yet highly recommend that you download and listen to the podcast, first . You can grap the MP3, right here .  It's free and if you don't like the ads, just skip forward, but please come to terms with the fact that a daily 2h radio has to be financed one way or another! Let's dig right into this lumpy-bumby skin condition, now! Despite the fact that they did...

Yerba Mate, Yohimbine & Yucca - Potent Fat or Unhealthy Money Burners? Tea Catechins Were Yesterday, Saponins Are the Future! GMO Rice "Safe for Human Consumption"?

Are you living in one of the hotspots of diabesity and laziness? Check out the map in the bottom right of my little collage and find out what the CDC data from 2008 can tell you about the regional differences in the US. Which are the top (=healthy & active; violet) and which the flop (=diabetic and sedentary; blue) counties in the US? 58%, that's not just the SuppVersity Figure of the Week it is also statistical testimony to the superiority of lifestyle interventions over drugs. Why? Well it is the rate by which even the CDC admits the diabetes risk of the average US citizen would drop, if he or she lost 5-7% of body weight (I know, I would likewise prefer a body fat number) and increased their "exercise" level to 150min of brisk walking (or more intense exercise) per week. I know this is nothing new to you, but we all know one of these people who are subservient to "authorities" and like to get their (often oversimplyfied) advice right from the feds....

Skip the fireworks invest the money in some quality ingredients for a fondue or whatever you like and invest the (often non-negligible) rest of the money in a gym membership for the next year. Actually my figure of the week is 115,000,000 EUR (~152,000,000 US Dollar), which is the sum my fellow country men and women are about to waste on pyrotechnics this year. And a scientifically unconfirmed addition based on my personal observation: 90% of the worst offenders as far as spending money for fireworks goes are at least overweight. Would be interesting to see, if the use of pyrotechnics on New Years Eve is directly associated with fat mass... I mean, it could be that they spent so much money on their fireworks that they feel they can only afford the junkfood of which everybody and his/her mama still tend to believe that it would be cheaper than buying fresh products and preparing your own food from those. Ah, I am ranting. That's usually Carl Lanore 's task, so I will bet...
