| 1Fast400 Horny Goat Weed 20% 100 grams |
"Horny Goat Weed, also known as Epimedium, is standardized to contain 20% Icariin. Sexual Stimulant Testosterone Recovery Horny goat weed's reputed aphrodisiac qualities were discovered when a Chinese goat herder noticed increased sexual activity in his flock after they ingested the weed. Animal studies indicate that horny goat weed may work by increasing nitric oxide levels, which relaxes smooth muscle and lets more blood flow to the penis or clitoris. Horny goat weed also appears to act by inhibiting the PDE-5 enzyme, which is the same way that the popular drug Viagra works. Some evidence suggests horny goat weed may modulate levels of the hormones cortisol, testosterone, and thyroid hormone, bringing low levels back to normal."

| 1Fast400 Inositol 1000 grams |
"Transports Nutrients Helps with mental clarity Aids in Impotence Metabolic Regulation What is it Inositol is a naturally occurring nutrient found in various forms, the most common being myo-inositol. Inositol is found in phospholipids which function as cellular mediators of signal transduction, in metabolic regulation, and growth. Myo-inositol is one of nine distinct isomers of inositol, and the terms are often used interchangeably. Humans can make inositol in the body, which they do from glucose. Healthy Cells Inositol is a direct precursor of phospholipids which are a major component of cellular membranes. Inositol helps to maintain proper electrical energy and nutrient transfer across the cell membrane. It also acts as a lipotropic which converts fats into other useful products. inositol helps establish healthy cell membranes, which facilitate nerve impulses. Usages and Dosage Inositol supplements may benefit those with bipolar disorder, depression, impotence, obsessive-compulsive disorder, lung cancer, panic disorder, and polycystic ovary syndrome. This supplement could also be helpful in those with psoriasis who are on lithium medication. The inositol dosages used in most studies have been several grams. Whether smaller amounts of inositol benefit these conditions is not clear. Sometimes researchers choose dosages of medicines and supplements much higher than is required since they wish to elicit a quick response. Those patients who were givin inositol only were said to have felt a mental clarity and focus like never before. The usual does to start is around 1g a day, to understand ones tolerance. Diabetes and Impotence This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study included 176 patients with type 2 diabetes. The daily 4 g dose of inositol plus 400 micrograms of folic acid or placebo was divided and given in three doses. The present study demonstrates that Myoinositol and folic acid combination deserves consideration as therapeutic agent for preventing and treating erectile dysfunction in diabetic men, probably by virtue of both their chronic metabolic, acute antioxidant properties, and nitric oxide protective beneficial effects. 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 Inositol Hexaphosphate 500 grams |
"Cancer Prevention Aids in Metabolism of Minerals Antioxident Cancer Fighter Inositol hexaphosphate IP6 is a chemical found in beans, brown rice, corn, sesame seeds, wheat bran, and other high-fiber foods. It is converted into closely related compounds in the body that are used by all cells to relay outside messages to the cell nucleus. It also aids the body in its use metabolism of calcium and other minerals. Animal and lab research has found that IP6 may be effective in lowering tumor incidence and slowing growth. However, studies have not yet been done in people. Clinical trials are needed to find out how it might work in preventing or treating cancer in humans. How is it promoted for use Proponents call IP6 a natural cancer fighter and claim it slows or reverses the growth of various forms of cancers, including breast, colon, and prostate cancers. It is thought to be an antioxidant, a compound that blocks the action of activated oxygen molecules known as free radicals that can damage cells. It may help block certain abnormal signals, telling a cancer cell to keep growing, from reaching the cells nucleus. Some research shows IP6 slows abnormal cell division and may sometimes transform tumor cells into normal cells. Supporters also claim it effectively prevents kidney stones, high cholesterol, heart disease, and liver disease. Available scientific evidence does not support these claims. What does it involve Many high-fiber food sources contain IP6, and it is also available in pill form as a dietary supplement combining inositol and IP6. Scientists do not know enough about the chemical to recommend a standard supplement dose. It is not known whether taking a supplement provides the same effect as getting it from food sources. What is the history behind it The existence of IP6 has been known for several decades. Interest in its potential anti-cancer properties emerged in the mid-1980s when AbulKalam Shamsuddin, MD, PhD, a pathologist at the University of Maryland, began to conduct research studies on inositol in the lab. He published a consumer book in 1998. He and other researchers continue to study the effects of IP6. What is the evidence All of the evidence regarding the anti-cancer effects of IP6 has come from lab cell cultures and animal studies. Lab studies of cell cultures have shown that IP6 may help put cancer cells on a path toward normal cell death, and may help keep them from spreading to other parts of the body. It may also have effects on tumor blood vessel growth and on the immune system in general. These studies have shown IP6 may have activity against pancreas, breast, prostate, colon, and other cancers. Results of some early studies in cells have also suggested that IP6 may help make certain chemotherapy or hormone therapy drugs work better. Studies in lab animals have found that supplementing their diets with IP6 may help prevent tumors from forming in the prostate, lung, colon, skin, and other areas. While animal and lab studies may show a certain compound holds promise as a helpful treatment, further studies are needed to find out if the results apply to humans. One preliminary human study suggested that IP6 may cause pre-cancerous lung changes in smokers to shrink. Inositol hexaphosphate and similar chemicals have also been studied for treating polycystic ovary syndrome, panic disorders, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorders, Alzheimer's disease, post-traumatic stress disorders, and depression, but researchers have reached no firm conclusions about its impact on these conditions.

| 1Fast400 L-Glutamine Powder 500 grams |
"Immune System Support Stops Cortisol Organ and Intestinal Protection Brain Function Keeps from Overtraining Stops Muscle Wasting Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid building block of protein in the bloodstream. It is considered a conditionally essential amino acid because it can be manufactured in the body, but under extreme physical stress the demand for glutamine exceeds the body's ability to synthesize it. Most glutamine in the body is stored in muscles followed by the lungs, where much of the glutamine is manufactured. Glutamine is important for removing excess ammonia a common waste product in the body. In the process of picking up ammonia, glutamine donates it when needed to make other amino acids, as well as sugar, and the antioxidant glutathione. Several types of important immune cells rely on glutamine for energy -- without it, the immune system would be impaired. Glutamine also appears to be necessary for normal brain function and digestion. Adequate amounts of glutamine are generally obtained through diet alone because the body is also able to make glutamine on its own. Certain medical conditions, including injuries, surgery, infections, and prolonged stress, can deplete glutamine levels, however. In these cases, glutamine supplementation may be helpful. Wound Healing When the body is stressed such as from injuries, infections, burns, trauma, or surgical procedures, steroid hormones such as cortisol are released into the bloodstream. Elevated cortisol levels can deplete glutamine stores in the body. Since glutamine plays a key role in the immune system, a deficiency in this nutrient can significantly slow the healing process. Studies have shown that glutamine supplements enhance the immune system and reduce infections particularly infections associated with surgery. Glutamine supplements may also aid in the recovery of severe burns. Inflammatory Bowel Disease IBD Glutamine helps to protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract known as the mucosa. Because of this, some experts speculate that glutamine deficiency may play a role in the development of IBD, namely ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. These conditions are characterized by damage to the mucosal lining of the small andor large intestines, which leads to inflammation, infection, and ulcerations holes. In fact, some preliminary research suggests that glutamine may be a valuable supplement during treatment of IBD because it promotes healing of the cells in the intestines and improves diarrhea associated with IBD. Not all studies have found this positive benefit, however. For this reason, more research is needed before conclusions can be drawn. In the meantime, follow the advice of your healthcare provider when deciding whether to use glutamine for IBD. Stops Muscle Wasting Individuals with advanced stages of human immunodeficiency virus HIV often experience severe weight loss particularly loss of muscle mass. A few studies of individuals with HIV have demonstrated that glutamine supplementation, along with other important nutrients including vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, selenium, and N-acetylcysteine, may reduce the severe weight loss associated with this condition. Peritonitis Glutamine supplementation has long been known to maintain the health of the mucosa inner wall of the gastrointestinal tract and inhibit muscle wasting in critically ill patients. Keeping the intestinal mucosa healthy helps prevent infections such as peritonitis inflammation of the peritoneum, the thin membrane that lines the abdominal wall and covers most of the organs of the body. Animal studies indicate that a diet supplemented with glutamine may protect the lining of the intestine, inhibit the growth of bacteria, and improve survival rates in animals with peritonitis. Additional studies of people at high risk for peritonitis infection suggest that diets high in glutamine, arginine, and omega-3 fatty acids may lower the risk of infection by more than 50% and significantly shorten the length of hospital stay. These results are somewhat controversial, however, as the way that these supplements appear to work involves an inflammatory response in the peritoneum -- a reaction known to cause peritonitis. Athletes Athletes who train excessively may deplete their glutamine stores. This is because they are overusing their skeletal muscles, where much of the glutamine in the body is stored. Athletes who overstress their muscles without adequate time for recovery between workouts may be at increased risk for infection and often recover slowly from injuries. This is also true for people who participate in prolonged exercise, such as ultra-marathon runners. For this select group of athletes, glutamine supplementation may be useful. Cancer Many people with cancer have abnormally low levels of glutamine. For this reason, some experts speculate that glutamine may prove to be a good addition to conventional treatment of cancer under certain conditions. In fact, nutritional support with supplemental glutamine is often used in malnourished cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments and sometimes used in patients undergoing bone marrow transplants. Glutamine is used to protect the lining of the small and large intestines from damage caused by chemotherapy or radiation. Glutamine may also protect against the development of mucositis breakdown of the mucosal membranes of the mouth and nasal passages caused by therapy for head and neck cancer. Ulcers Glutamine can aid in healing stomach ulcers and prevent inflammation of the stomach that is caused by chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications NSAIDS. How to Take It Glutamine should be taken with cold or room temperature foods or liquids. It should not be added to hot beverages because heat destroys glutamine. Most Glutamine has no taste and can be added to any liquid. Dose Doses ranging from 500 to 1,500 mg per day are generally considered safe. Amounts as high as 5,000 to 15,000 mg per day in divided doses may be used by Athletes and very active individuals. Precautions Because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications, dietary supplements should be taken only under the supervision of a knowledgeable healthcare provider. Glutamine powder should not be added to hot beverages because heat destroys this amino acid. Glutamine supplements should also be kept in a dry location. Moisture leads to breakdown of this substance. People with kidney disease, liver disease, or Reye's syndrome a rare, sometimes fatal disease of childhood that is generally associated with use of aspirin in conjunction with chicken pox or an upper respiratory illness should not take glutamine. Many elderly people have diminished kidney function and may need to reduce the dose of glutamine. Glutamine is different from glutamate glutamic acid, monosodium glutamate, and gluten. Glutamine will not cause symptoms headaches, facial pressure, tingling, or burning sensation associated with sensitivity to monosodium glutamate. People who are gluten sensitive can use glutamine without problems. Packing Information: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."

People who are gluten sensitive can use glutamine without problems. Packing Information: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 L-Leucine powder 100 grams |
"Essential Amino Acid Preserves Muscle Glycogen Maintains Nitrogen Balance Protein Synthesis What is it and where does it come from L-Leucine is an essential branched-chain amino acid BCAA that's broken down in fat structures. The other two essential BCAA's are L-Valine and L-Isoleucine. L-Leucine can not be made by the body, and must be acquired through food or dietary supplements. It can be found in nuts, brown rice and whole wheat bread products. What does L-Leucine do L-Leucine comprises about eight percent of the total amino acid count in your body's protein structures it is the forth most concentrated amino acid in skeletal muscle tissue. As one of the three BCAA's, L-Leucine is essential to your basic health. It has athletic applications. L-Leucine has many beneficial effects on sports performance. It helps preserve lean muscle tissue, it supplies the body with energy when under stress i.e. when engaging in athletic activity, it preserves muscle glycogen glucose stored in muscle tissue used to power muscular contraction, it maintains nitrogen balance, and it enhances thinking abilities that can decline as physical activity becomes more intense. The effects of L-Leucine in the diet are profound. As the strongest of the BCAA's, L-Leucine is what's known as a limiting nutrient - meaning that you must have enough L-Leucine in proportion to other amino acids in order for your body to make use of what you eat. Simply: If you suffer from an L-Leucine deficiency, your body will not be able to make use of the protein that you give it - no matter how much protein you consume. And, unless you have enough L-Luecine, the money you spend on quality food and dietary supplements will be wasted. To make the most of what you eat, you need two parts L-Leucine and two parts L-Valine for every one part of L-Isoleucine. You'll fail to get optimal results if you fall short of meeting this exact ratio. This Ratio can be found in 1fast400's product line called EAA's."

| 1Fast400 L-Lysine HCL 100 grams |
"Helps Absorption of Calcium Canker Sores and Ulcers Essential in Carnitine Production Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that it is essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, lysine must be obtained from food. Lysine is important for proper growth and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendon, and cartilage. If there is too little lysine in the diet, kidney stones and other health related problems may develop including fatigue, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, agitation, bloodshot eyes, slow growth, anemia, and reproductive disorders. It is extremely rare, however, to obtain insufficient amounts of lysine through the diet. Generally, only vegetarians who follow a macrobiotic diet and certain athletes involved in frequent vigorous exercise are at risk for lysine deficiency. For vegetarians, legumes beans, peas and lentils are the best sources of lysine. Lysine is involved in the browning reaction, or carmelization, in foods such as pastries, doughnuts, cookies and cereals. In this process, lysine and sugar become linked together in a way that makes lysine difficult for the body to absorb. As a result, a diet high in cereals and baked goods, especially those that contain a lot of simple sugars, can result in low lysine intake. Herpes and Shingles L-lysine can be used to treat mouth and genital lesions caused by herpes simplex virus as well as shingles caused by herpes zoster viruses. Taking lysine supplements can speed recovery time and reduce the chance of recurrent breakouts of the herpes infection. Many of the mouth ulcers are caused by an Arginine vs. L-lysine imbalance. Since our diets are usually high of Arginine, L-lysine is need to keep the proper balance. Osteoporosis L-lysine helps improve the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract and prevent loss of calcium in the urine. In so doing, some researchers speculate that L-lysine may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. In addition, test tube studies suggest that L-lysine in combination with L-arginine another amino acid increases the activity of bone-building cells and enhances production of collagen. Dose 13 and older: 12 mg per kilogram of body weight per day Some experts suggest that adults may need up to 30 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. Adults with herpes simplex or Canker Sores should follow these guidelines: To treat symptoms: 3,000 9,000 mg per day in divided doses To prevent recurrences: 500 1,500 mg per day 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 L-Norvaline 20 grams |
"L-Norvaline is an analog of the branched chain amino acid Valine. L-Norvaline inhibits the arginase enzyme thus increasing arginine concentrations for enhanced conversion to nitric oxide. Get more effects from your NO products Inhibit Arginase Increase Vascularity and PUMPS L-Norvaline: Inhibitor of Arginase L-Norvaline acts directly to inhibit Arginase, an enzyme which limits the amount of NO, your body can produce. When arginase is inhibited the body can utilize more L-Arginine, which aids in the production of Nitric Oxide NO. This can effectively increase the production of NO by up to 60%. Research shows that adding more L-Arginine to a diet does not increase the production of NO beyond a certain saturation point. This novel means of inhibiting arginase will yield an astounding increase in the amount of NO your body can produce. These new radically heightened levels of NO will deliver a cell volumizing experience that defies the laws of physiology. 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. Recommended dosage: 200mg"

| 1Fast400 L-Theanine Powder 20 grams |
"Theanine is an amino acid commonly found in tea infusions of Camellia sinensis. Theanine is related to glutamine, and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Because it can enter the brain, theanine has psychoactive properties. Theanine has been shown to reduce mental and physical stress and may produce feelings of relaxation. Theanine is speculated to produce these effects by increasing the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA production. Theanine increases brain serotonin, dopamine, GABA levels and has micromolar affinities for AMPA, Kainate and NMDA receptors. It has also been found that injecting spontaneously hypertensive mice with theanine significantly lowered levels of 5-hydroxyindole in the brain. Researchers also speculate that it may inhibit glutamic acid excitotoxicity. Theanine also promotes alpha wave production in the brain. Studies on test rats have shown that even repeated, extremely high doses of theanine cause little to no harmful psychological or physical effects. L-theanine may help the body's immune system response when fighting infection by boosting the disease-fighting capacity of gamma delta T cells. The study, published in 2003 by the Brigham and Women's Hospital, included a four-week trial with 11 coffee drinkers and 10 tea drinkers, who consumed 600 milliliters of coffee or black tea daily. Blood sample analysis found that the production of anti-bacterial proteins was up to five times higher in the tea-drinkers, an indicator of a stronger immune response. Recently, marketing campaigns from tea companies have been emphasizing the natural presence of L-theanine in their tea and that L-theanine boosts the production of alpha brainwaves."
