| 1Fast400 20-Beta-HydroxyEcdystrone 60% 30 grams |
"Supports Muscle Increased Protein Synthesis Ecdysterone 20-Beta-Hydroxyecdysterone : A naturally occurring phytochemical found in herbs such as Cyanotis vaga. An herbal extract that promotes the perfect environment when you're trying to build muscle. What is it and where does it come from It's known by other names of course, the technical name is 20-Beta-Hydroxyecdysterone and other common names are: ecdisten, ecdysone, isoinokosterone, 20-hydroxyecdysone and ecdysterone. Interestingly, it was first discovered in insects acting as an invertebrate polyhydroxylated sterolic growth hormone. Actually, insects depend on it for their survival. Could there be some correlation between insects superior strength ratio and this compound What would the effects be on vertebrates such as mammals If we had the proportionate strength of an ant, for example, we could easily pick up a car. Even if a fraction of this power could be available through ecdysterone supplementation, the idea of supplementing with bug juice just isn't too appealing. Luckily, it's not obtained through insects for supplementation It happens to exist as a compound in the herbs RhaponticumLeuzeae and Cyanotis vaga, and is therefore a naturally occurring phytochemical. Until recently however, it was not easily available. Although Ecdysterone has been known and tested in Russia since 1988, it never received much attention because there existed no cost-effective way to extract it. Russian researchers and scientists had a very pure version developed, but it was costly...20,000 per kilogram. The only other choice was Suma extract, which contained so little ecdysterone that it would have been ineffective as a viable ecdysterone-supplementation option. The breakthrough technology, in-vitro cell cultivation, provided the needed purity and concentration of ecdysterone to make it a viable option for economical supplementation. This is great news for anyone wanting to increase lean muscle mass, decrease fat and improve performance. How Does Ecdysterone Work The single most important factor in maximizing muscle growth is environment. Ecdysterone works to create the perfect muscle-building environment in the body, among other positive effects. The perfect conditions for creating the perfect muscle building environment include maintaining a positive nitrogen balance and increasing protein synthesis along with intelligent, consistent exercise and a balanced diet rich in protein. It's long been understood that if the body was able to maintain the perfect anabolic environment, maximum muscle growth would occur. Maintaining positive nitrogen balance and increased protein synthesis without also incurring hormonal side-effects was the trick. This is why researchers became so enthralled with ecdysterone when Doctor Burdette in 1963 found that ecdysterone enhanced the rate of protein synthesis. This was the beginning of over 50 studies showing the remarkable effects of ecdysterone on the body while simultaneously showing now side effects. Now, with the increased economical availability of pure concentrated ecdysterone by 1fast400, the picture is finally becoming more complete. How Should it be Taken This plant sterol kick-starts protein synthesis in muscle and keeps it up at a faster clip. Shoot for a dose of at least 2 mg per pound of bodyweight per day or about 300-600 mg per day taken as 2-3 divided doses with high-protein meals. Take one of those doses immediately after your workout on training days. PROTEIN SYNTHESIS STACK Ecdysterone 100-300 mg immediately after workout Leucine 5 g before and immediately after workout Whey Protein 30-50 g before and immediately Isolate after workout Packing Information: These powders are reduced down from kilo sizes. Each powder is put into a HDPE container, Heat Sealed, and labeled with dosing based off 14 tsp. Some items may be hygroscopic and may clump during shipment. This does not effect the efficacy of the product, but just the texture."

| 1Fast400 5-HTP 20g |
"Mood Enhancer Sleep Support Weight loss What is 5-HTP 5-Hydroxytryptophan 5-HTP is an amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin. There is a massive amount of evidence that suggests that low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. The lifestyle and dietary practices of many people living in this stress-filled era results in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain. As a result, many people are overweight, crave sugar and other carbohydrates, experience bouts of depression, get frequent headaches, and have vague muscle aches and pain. What is the best way to take 5-HTP For most people, the dosage should be started at 50 mg three times per day. If the response is inadequate after two weeks, increase the dosage to 100 mg three times per day. This recommendation will greatly reduce the mild symptoms of nausea often experienced during the first few weeks of 5-HTP therapy. Because 5-HTP does not rely on the same transport vehicle as L-tryptophan, it can also be taken with food. But, if you are taking 5-HTP for weight loss it should be taken 20 minutes before meals. What is the Evidence for 5-HTP MigraineSome research indicates that 5-HTP may reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, however large randomized controlled trials are needed. In one study, 124 people were given 5-HTP 600 mgday or the drug methysergide. After 6 months, 5-HTP was found to be as effective as methysergide in reducing the severity and duration of migraines. Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by fatigue, widespread pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons, and multiple tender points. A double-blind, placebo controlled study looked at 5-HTP or placebo in 50 people with fibromyalgia. After four weeks, there was improvement in pain, stiffness, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep. Side effects were mild and transient. Sleep Support Serotonin is converted into melatonin, a hormone needed to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Because 5-HTP is thought to increase serotonin levels, it may increase melatonin and help normalize sleep patterns 5-HTP for Mood Support Yes. In fact, there is excellent documentation that 5-HTP is an effective in supporting mood. 5-HTP often produces very good results in patients who are unresponsive to standard methods. These patients received 5-HTP at dosages averaging 200 mg daily but ranging from 50 to 600 mg per day. Significant improvement was noted. What effect does 5-HTP have on weight loss As far back as 1975, researchers demonstrated that administering 5-HTP to rats that were bred to overeat and be obese resulted in significant reduction in food intake. It turns out that these rats have decreased activity of the enzyme that converts tryptophan to 5-HTP and subsequently to serotonin. In other words, these rats are fat as a result of a genetically determined low level of activity of the enzyme that starts the manufacture of serotonin from tryptophan. As a result, these rats never get the message to stop eating until they have consumed far greater amounts of food than normal rats. There is much circumstantial evidence that many humans are genetically predisposed to obesity. This predisposition may involve the same mechanism as that observed in rats genetically predisposed to obesity. In other words, many people may be predisposed to being overweight because they have a decreased conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP and, as a result, decreased serotonin levels. By providing preformed 5-HTP, this genetic defect is bypassed and more serotonin is manufactured. 5-HTP literally turns off hunger. The early animal studies that used 5-HTP as a weight loss aid have been followed by a series of three human clinical studies of overweight women, conducted at the University of Rome. The first study showed that 5-HTP was able to reduce caloric intake and promote weight loss despite the fact that the women made no conscious effort to lose weight. The average amount of weight loss during the five-week period of 5-HTP supplementation was a little more than 3 pounds. The second study sought to determine whether 5-HTP helped overweight individuals adhere to dietary recommendations. The twelve-week study was divided into two six-week periods. For the first six weeks, there were no dietary recommendations for the second six weeks the women were placed on a 1,200-calorie diet. As shown in Table 1, the women who took the placebo lost 2.28 pounds, while the women who took the 5-HTP lost 10.34 pounds. As in the previous study, 5-HTP appeared to promote weight loss by promoting satiety-the feeling of satisfaction-leading to fewer calories being consumed at meals. Every woman who took the 5-HTP reported early satiety. In the third study involving 5-HTP, for the first six weeks there were no dietary restrictions, and for the second six weeks the women were placed on a 1,200-calorie-per-day diet. The results from this study were even more impressive than the previous studies for several reasons. The group that received the 5-HTP had lost an average of 4.39 pounds at six weeks and an average of 11.63 pounds at 12 weeks. In comparison, the placebo group had lost an average of only 0.62 pounds at six weeks and 1.87 pounds at twelve weeks. The lack of weight loss during the second six-week period in the placebo group obviously reflects the fact that the women had difficulty adhering to the diet. Early satiety was reported by 100 percent of the subjects during the first six-week period. During the second six-week period, even with severe caloric restriction, ninety percent of the women taking 5-HTP reported early satiety. Many of the women who received the 5-HTP 300 mg three times per day reported mild nausea during the first six weeks of therapy. However, the symptom was never severe enough for any of the women to drop out of the study. No other side effects were reported. Fibromyalgia and Migraines.....how does 5-HTP help The history of the development of 5-HTP as an effective treatment for fibromyalgia began with studies on the drug fenclonine. This drug blocks the enzyme which converts tryptophan to 5-HTP and as a result blocks serotonin production. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was thought that increased serotonin formation may promote migraine headaches the opposite of what was later proved, i.e., increasing serotonin levels reduce migraine headache occurrence. The researchers discovered that providing headache sufferers with fenclonine resulted in very severe muscle pain. This effect was exactly opposite of what was expected, but led to some important advances in the understanding of fibromyalgia--a way to induce its severe symptoms of as well as symptoms nearly identical to EMS, the condition caused by contaminated L-tryptophan. The researchers also discovered that migraine sufferers reacted to the drug much more than non-headache sufferers. In fact, in most normal subjects fenclonine produced no fibromyalgia. These occurrences highlight just how sensitive migraine sufferers are to low serotonin levels. 1FAST400 5-HTP Prices vs Competitors Prices 1Fast400 20g 14.99 Primaforce 12g 14.99 Now Foods 12g 17.99 MRM 6g 14.99 Jarrow 6g 19.56 5-HTP comes in a bulk powder that is 380mg per 14 teaspoon scoop.

| 1Fast400 Acesulfame Potassium 20 grams |
"No Calorie Sweetener What is it Acesulfame K is 180-200 times sweeter than sucrose table sugar, as sweet as aspartame, about half as sweet as saccharin, and one-quarter the sweetness of sucralose. Like saccharin, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. Kraft Foods has patented the use of sodium ferulate to mask acesulfame's aftertaste. Alternatively, acesulfame K is often blended with other sweeteners usually sucralose or aspartame. These blends are reputed to give a more sugar-like taste where each sweetener masks the other's aftertaste, and to exhibit a synergistic effect wherein the blend is sweeter than its components. Unlike aspartame, acesulfame K is stable under heat, even under moderately acidic or basic conditions, allowing it to be used in baking, or in products that require a long shelf life. Where else is it found Popular products containing acesulfame K include Diet Coke Plus, Diet Rite Cola, 7up Plus, Fruit Shoot, Pepsi Max, Coca-Cola Zero and Vanilla Coke Zero, Pepsi ONE, Lilt Zero, Fresca, Diet Coke with Splenda, Sprite Zero, Powerade, Trident gum, Wrigley's Spearmint gum,Wrigley's Juicy Fruit red gum, some SoBe products, XS Energy Drink, Propel Fitness Water, Bundaberg Diet Ginger Beer, Sugarfree Red Bull, Diet Lipton Green Tea with Citrus, Diet Arizona Energy Drinks, Danone Silhouette spring water-based beverage, Presidents Choice PC 0 Cola, Nestle Pure Life Natural Fruit Flavored Water Beverages, sugarfree Jell-O, Monster Energy low carb, 4C Drink Mixes, Equal table sweetener, and Girl Scouts Sugar Free Little Brownies. In carbonated drinks it is almost always used in conjunction with another sweetener, such as aspartame or sucralose. The compound is also popular in protein powders used by athletes and bodybuilders Optimum Nutrition's Whey Gold Standard is one brand of powder that uses Acesulfame K."

"L-carnitine is a trimethylated amino acid that plays essential roles in many areas of the body, including fatty acid translocation and muscle function. Carnitine is also acetylated into the ester Acetyl-L-carnitine ALCAR in the brain, liver, and kidney. ALCAR also plays a variety of roles in the body, including increasing acetylcholine production and stimulation of protein and membrane phospholipid synthesis. Orally administered L-carnitine and ALCAR have profound anti-aging and nutrient repartitioning properties, and the effects of supplementing with them have been extensively researched in many areas, including exercise performance, weight loss, treatment of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetic neuropathy, depression and many other neurological disorders, treatment of alcoholism, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance, and many others. The carnitines are excellent supplements for athletes, as well as anyone who wants to look and feel thier best. Studies with both ALCAR and L-carnitine have shown that they have potent nutrient repartitioning effects, and there are some studies indicating that L-carnitine can increase exercise performance."

"The Complete Diet Aid is a combination of supplements used to lose body fat while retaining lean mass. This stack has become very popular over the last year, and many users report exceptional results. Each ingredient serves a purpose, and many of them are synergistic. In addition to the effect on body composition, this stack offers many other possible benefits, such as improved mood, concentration, and general health. This article will briefly outline the benefits of each ingredient, as well as their combinations. Acetyl-L-carnitine Acetyl-L-carnitine ALCAR is the acetylated version of the amino acid L-carnitine, and is similar in effect, although many believe it to be superior. Oral administration of ALCAR causes pronounced fat loss andor lean mass gain in animals, presumably by increasing the oxidation of fatty acids 1. In healthy women, only 700 milligrams of L-carnitine, along with choline, caused a 1% decrease in body fat level over 35 days compared to placebo and also increased fat utilization during exercise 2. As an added benefit, L-carnitine also improves exercise performance in individuals with impaired exercise tolerance and improved markers of recovery after resistance training in healthy individuals 3-8. ALCAR is also considered to be a potent brain nutrient, showing a multitude of beneficial effects on the brains of both young and old rats, and it has been used in the treatment Alzheimer's and Parkinson's 9-15. Studies in humans with cardiovascular diseases have also found L-carnitine to have a profound impact on survival rate and other cardiovascular variables 16-19. Alpha lipoic acid Alpha lipoic acid ALA is a potent antioxidant and glucose disposal agent. As an antioxidant, ALA may protect against possible pro-oxidant properties of CLA and ALCAR 20-21. ALA is also synergistic with ALCAR in improving cognitive function 11. In combatting exercise-induced oxidative stress, ALA has been shown to be a superior antioxidant, and this in turn may improve skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity 22-23. Like ALCAR, ALA also has strong cardioprotective properties 24-25. Conjugated linoleic acid Conjugated linoleic acid CLA is a unique omega-6 fatty acid or rather, group of fatty acids and weight loss aid. CLA interacts with a variety of enzymes which in turn increase lipolysis and downregulate lipogenesis 26-27. Oral CLA administration has been found to cause fat loss in mice, hamsters, rats, chickens, dogs, and pigs, and in three trials in humans 26-27. CLA is also an effective anti-carcinogen, and inhibits a variety of cancer types in experimental animals 27-29. There are some possible side effects of CLA, such as increased insulin resistance, lipid peroxidation, and liver steatosis 26-27, but these should be more than counteracted by the other ingredients in the stack, many of which will prevent or reverse these conditions 24, 30-32. Biotin Biotin serves multiple purposes in this stack. Because it is structurally similar, ALA may reduce biotin stores 33, so supplemental biotin is included to protect against this. Increasing dietary biotin also helps prevent liver steatosis in animals 35, but it is unknown whether or not it would make a difference if the state was CLA-induced. Finally, biotin may act as another insulin sensitizing agent via induction of glucokinase synthesis 34. Green tea Green tea, the final ingredient in the stack, offers a multitude of benefits. Studies indicate that green tea leads to a significant increase in energy expenditure and weight loss in humans, and this effect is much larger than that which can be attributed to the caffeine alone 36-37. This is because green tea inhibits the enzyme catechol-O-methyl-transferase COMT, which in turn causes an increase in lipolytic hormone levels 36-38. Like CLA, green tea has strong anti-cancer properties, and high intake of green tea has been associated with an increase in lifespan of 3.8-7.6 years 39. EGCG, widely regarded as the most active ingredient in green tea, is another potent antioxidant, and green tea improves plasma antioxidant capacity in healthy humans 40-41. Green tea also offers a significant improvement in cardiovascular health 39.
