American Bodybuilding Supplements Exposed

For more information about this video & Syn-Tec Sports Nutrition go to the Syn-Tec Online website @ www.SynTecOnline.com.au

This video is an authorised cut version from the popular documentary “Bigger Stronger Faster” Sourced from the producers of Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 – Presented by Syn-Tec Sports Nutrition.

This documentary exposed the unsavoury behind the scenes antics that are common place within the unregulated USA dietary supplement industry Highlighting many misleading promotional and advertising tricks that are use to deceive “You” the customer.

Before buying any dietary supplement look at the nutritional panel and see just how much of each ingredient you are actually getting if the product doesn’t provide an exact ingredient quantifying list and only states a “Proprietary Blend” Then start asking questions.

Syn-Tec Nutriceuticals (our brand of choice) and other Australian and New Zealand supplement brands are governed in varying degrees by the TGA, FSANZs, Medsafe NZ and the NZFSA regulations. These regulations are strict and concise and protect all consumers from misleading and totally ineffective dietary supplements. Dietary supplements made in either Australia or New Zealand must comply with one or more of the local sets of regulated standards – Full individual Ingredients per serving size must be listed on all labels. Supplements regulated under the foods codes must also have a per 100gm serving comparison nutritional panel. This gives you the consumer a true and accurate snap shot of what you are actually getting in your supplements.

This is not over regulation, but fair trading practices. In many cases as they say ” diamonds are in your own back yards”. No need to look elsewhere. Take a look at the clips and form your own opinion, but we feel you will take a more detailed look at your USA branded dietary supplements in future.

We hope you enjoy…

Collegen Skin Repair, Supplements

Thinking of buying a collagen skin repair cream? Maybe, you were thinking of buying one of those supplements that’s supposed to be a collagen booster. Either way, you might be interested to know what collagens are and how the fibers are produced.

In a word collagens are proteins. They may exist as molecules or as fibers. Not only do they contribute to the skin’s firmness and elastic nature, they are also present in bones, tendons, joints, veins and organs. They make up 25-35% of the total body protein count.

Collagen skin repair creams contain a processed form of the protein derived from animals, fish or plants. During processing the fibers are broken down into a globular form that is more like other proteins, than natural collagens. The molecules of these creams are too large to penetrate the skin’s outer layers, which are primarily composed of the protein keratin. The elastic fibers are located four-five layers below the skin’s surface.

A collagen booster supplement may be derived from chicken bones or other animal parts. They were first used to increase protein intake for people that were interested in building muscle. But, since it is not a complete protein, most fitness experts now recommend whey supplements for that purpose.

When collagen booster supplements hit the digestive system, they are broken down into the three amino acids they contain. These are not essential amino acids, meaning that the body can produce them from other amino acids. So, your body may decide to use them or not. No one knows for sure.

A collagen skin repair cream may make a cosmetic improvement in your skin’s appearance, because the gelatin dries to a semi-transparent mask that makes your face appear smoother. Creams containing the active form of keratin do the same thing, but also provide additional benefits.

There is only one active form of keratin. It is derived from sheep’s wool and the processing methods are patented. Lotions containing it have been shown in clinical studies to increase the production of new cells and fibers, something that normally slows down with age.

Pro-collagens are molecules secreted by the cells that combine with other amino acids to form tropo-collagens. These tropo-collagens self-assemble into fibrils. Bundles of fibrils create a fiber, which then becomes attached to a cell and begins to perform its role in improving firmness. Increased cellular production means increased amounts of pro-collagen.

Increased cellular production, something a collagen booster will not do, also means improved thickness. The skin normally becomes thinner with age. As it thickens the skin’s layers, fine lines disappear and wrinkles become less deep.

So, basically a collagen skin repair solution should contain active keratin, as well as other nourishing ingredients. A collagen booster won’t do anything except increase your protein intake. A multi-nutrient formula containing a variety of amino acids would be a better choice for dietary supplementation.

Anyone over the age of 30 can benefit from an effective collagen skin repair lotion, but only if it contains the right ingredients.

6 Meals a Day for Quick Muscle Gain

If your aim is to gain muscle weight as fast as possible, the traditional three daily meals are not going to provide you with the fuel you need. Your three meals when accompanied with rigorous exercise will cause your metabolism to fluctuate, increase your body fat, and make your belly growl like a hungry tiger!

Most dieters get stuck in a vicious cycle between starving themselves and purging themselves. Dieting exemplifies how our metabolism works; starvation causes weight loss, and purging reinstates the weight. Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the body. Its function is to promote growth, maintain our bodies, and help facilitate the general operations the body performs. More specifically, metabolic processes help import nutrients into our cells, and eliminate the waste products that have accumulated there. Metabolism plays a key role in tissue growth, which is important to note if your intention is to build muscle mass. Metabolism also works closely with the nervous system to send messages that the body is hungry, thirsty, full, or deficient in minerals, to the brain.

When you continually starve your body in a conscious way, fuel is still needed to keep the organ systems working. Muscles will atrophy to provide fuel for the body, and eventually, the tissue in the body will also be cannibalized until death occurs. So, it could be argued that your metabolism is what keeps you functioning until you find some food for it to work with!

By halving the three big meals you usually eat, thereby creating six small meals you will enhance the effectiveness of your metabolism and learn to use it to your benefit. Not only will you feel like you have more energy, your concentration will be better, and you won’t experience any more of those mid-afternoon slumps. In addition, if you switch your regular carbohydrates to the complex variety, they will burn slowly – providing a continuous supply of energy, and leaving the additional protein you have consumed for the purposes of building and repairing your muscles. This is what will increase your muscle mass.

Six meals a day provides optimal conditions for your metabolism, but you need to carefully decide what constitutes a meal. If you are a bodybuilder in training, your caloric intake will be much higher, but the small, even, nutritious meals will satisfy your body without overfilling it.

Preparing six meals every day can be a daunting and often inconvenient task. If you take the trouble to plan these meals before the fact, you will find that you can fit them in around your job, lifting, and family life.

Here is a sample of what a six meal day could look like:

* Breakfast – ½ cup of oatmeal, small glass of orange juice, a whey protein shake, and dietary supplements

* Mid-morning snack – 1 glass of water and a can of tuna and reduced fat mayonnaise

* Lunch – 8oz chicken breast and ¼ cup of boiled brown rice

* Pre-workout snack – whey protein shake and banana

* Post-workout meal – Post workout shake. 40+ grams of protein

* Dinner –8oz chicken breast, salad, veggies

* Night Snake – Cottage cheese and an apple

The progression of the meals shows the highest amounts of carbohydrates are consumed early in the day. By supper, there are no carbohydrates in the meal whatsoever. The rationale behind this, is that you do need to provide your body with enough slow-burning fuel to last the day, but an overload before you sleep will see the excess get stored as fat.

This new diet regime may not look as exciting as what you would usually eat, but on the other hand, the payoff will be that you have far more energy than you would usually have. You will also be taking big strides towards your goal of becoming a bodybuilder and gaining muscle weight fast.

The diet plan is meant as a guide only. At some point you will cheat, and the occasional flavorsome meal will not be especially detrimental to your new routine – it will probably be good for your mental health! You can research and substitute other complex carbohydrates for the rice, and other high protein cereal for the oatmeal to kill the boredom with this diet. You will find that your body will adapt to this new way of life quickly, and the gains you make will be worth giving up the fast food for!

Taking the Right Lifting Supplements

Taking the right lifting supplements can be a difficult selection process. You want to pack on some muscle, but lifting weights and eating right isn’t giving you the results you want. So you decide to walk into your local supplement store. You are greeted by some ripped meat head at the counter who starts rambling off terms you have never heard of. You just want to get some basic supplements but this guy is listing off every chemical compound known to man. If you are just starting to use lifting supplements, there are a few essentials you need to start out on.

  • Protein – You need to make sure that you are getting enough protein; after all, protein is the building blocks of muscle tissue. A good rule of thumb is to be getting one gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. So, for example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should be aiming for taking in 150 grams of protein a day. This is often very difficult to do on a daily basis through everyday foods. It is possible, but it can be expensive and time consuming, and most people just don’t have the resources to do this. Also, a lot of high protein sources also have some other stuff you might not want, such as the cholesterol and fat. One example is red meat. A great source of protein and iron, but also high in cholesterol and fat. Once you have your protein requirements fulfilled each day, you might want to think about stepping it up a touch.
  • Creatine – If you are looking to build muscle faster than lifting weights and supplementing with protein alone, creatine is the oldest trick in the book. Creatine helps increase muscle volume and strength. There are a million different types of creatine out there, and everybody has a different method. Your best bet is to start out by getting a cheap source of creatine. Go to your local grocery store and see if there are any cheap tubs of creatine. You should be able to get something for under 20 bucks. Read the directions on the label and try it out for a month or two. If you like the results, take a little break from using creatine (cycle off for a little bit), then go back and try a different type. Some creatines are more effective than others, but you will have to pay for the extra boost and it is often not worth it.
  • Weight Gainers – If you are really a hard gainer (meaning you are a skinny shrimp that cannot gain weight no matter what you do), supplementing with some sort of weight gainer mix might not be a bad idea. These shakes contain hundreds of extra calories to help you put on a few extra pounds. Just make sure that you are lifting consistently and lifting very intensely. There is a good chance you will put on some unwanted fat if you take a weight gainer without working enough.

Bulking up with lifting supplements is not rocket science. Just make sure that you are lifting weights very intensely and getting enough food each day. You might not see results overnight, but keep at it and eventually your body will start transforming.
