All of the ProPower supplements are beneficial. But, depending upon your most immediate training goals, some are
more important than others. The simple logic is that you cannot take all of the supplements that may benefit you
all the time! Take only those supplements that you vitally need to optimize your immediate training goals.
Everyone knows that training should proceed in a stepwise fashion, because you cannot accomplish everything
all at once. Your body does not respond well to "shotgun" training, but it does respond beautifully to "targeted"
training! This is part and parcel to the concept of periodization, It's called the "integrated training" approach
to training. Use the table below to determine which supplements you (or your client) should be taking and why.

Fact Sheet and Directions for Use
| LipoForce |
2 sprays under the tongue in the morning and one spray under the tongue
at night.Human growth
hormone (hGH) is a polypeptide that folds in a specific configuration to
facilitate specific growth-stimulating properties. The hGH molecule must
have its shape protected because, if it were to enter the blood stream
unprotected, it would be degraded rapidly.LipoForce™ has a patented
protective delivery system where 2,000 nanograms of hGH complex are
suspended in a lipid-water solution. This solution is sprayed into the
mouth, absorbed through the oral mucosa and absorbed directly into the
bloodstream.This suspension
is critical for effective absorption. It has been clinically shown
that LipoForce™ stimulates growth hormone binding 10-fold, compared to
oral growth hormone alone.The cells were washed with growth medium at different times after
incubation. After 8 minutes, the kidney cells became saturated with
liposomes firmly attached to the cell. Electron Microscopy revealed
that the liposomes were still stable on day 90.LipoForce™ also incorporates an
hGH-stimulator, comprised of a naturally occurring polypeptide complex
that stimulates hGH production and directs the pituitary to provide
maximum hGH support.

| Mega-Nutrient Stack |
2-3 caplets 20 minutes before meals one and five. Taken as directed, the
Mega-Nutrient Stack will add significantly to almost every metabolic
process, from improved energy levels, to a healthy nervous system.From maintain peak metabolic
functions to stimulating the adaptogenic process.From improved recovery and
restoration following intense physical activity, to offsetting the ill
effects of stresses of everyday living in a compromised
environment.
|
| |
| Recovery |
3-4 caplets 20 minutes before meals 1,
2 & 5.By now, everyone has heard about the amazing results glucosamine sulfate delivers
to people with arthritis. But for athletes and others who train
regularly, it has other important benefits. The muscle-strength
building process and the recovery needs of your muscles present a catch 22
situation.Resistance training and strenuous athletic training stimulates muscle growth.This rate of muscle growth and
muscle strength increase, however, can develop quicker then corresponding
connective tissues.This is one theory used to explain why athletes experience so many connective
tissue injuries, especially in the pre-season training period.Their muscle strength overpowers
connective tissue, leading to sprains, strains, and torn ligaments and
cartilage.So, because of this belief a traditional approach has been to slow down training, and
spread progress out over years.Again, science gives us another answer.The problem was not with
"overtraining" per se, but with
the lack of restorative nutrient factors, especially for the connective
tissue.

| |
| L-Glutamine |
3-4 grams before training. L-glutamine has been clinically
shown to 1) decrease muscle protein catabolism, 2) improve nitrogen
retention in muscle tissue, 3) increase protein synthesis even when BCAA
levels are decreased as much as 75%.
|
| |
| Creatine Monohydrate |
4-5 grams mixed daily with your protein shake. Creatine monohydrate (C4 H9 N3 O2)
combines with phosphorous in the muscles and becomes Phosphocreatine
(sometimes called creatine phosphate -- C4 H1O N3 O5 P -- or "CP" for
short). Creatine phosphate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cannot be used
as nutritional supplements because they cannot be absorbed intact.The molecules are too big.So, you're obliged to take them
apart first.Once these important molecules are disassembled, they get absorbed into your
bloodstream.But, there's no guarantee that they're going to be reconstructed inside your muscle
cells.Creatine monohydrate, on the other hand, is absorbed intact, and goes to your muscle tissue,
where it contributes to your muscles' supply of creatine phosphate
(Harris, R.C., Soderlund, K. & Hultman, E., 1992).Remember, CP is needed to
resynthesize ATP.

| Power Protein Plus |
Use as a meal replacement for 1 or 2 meals
daily. Two scoops mixed with 8 oz skim milk (add a yogurt and ice for flavor).Protein is obviously
important.Then there’s the Plus” in our name for this product.Here are the potent anabolic and anti-catabolic factors we've
included in our superior brand of engineered whey ProPower Plus Protein
Powder:
100% Pure Whey Protein Concentrate has been shown to increase nitrogen balance and provide a
better source of protein than other sources. It is also extremely high in
BCAAs and essential and nonessential amino acids. Furthermore, our whey
protein concentrate is so good, it has the highest protein efficiency
ratio (per).
- Glucosamine. A naturally occurring amino sugar found in glycoproteins and
glycoaminoglycans, clinically proven to be an important nutrient factor
for the repair and growth of connective tissue and skin.
- L-Glutamine. Absolutely essential for cell growth, L-Glutamine has been shown to be
an important anticatabolic nutrient for musculoskeletal healing. Many
studies have shown that L-Glutamine improves nitrogen balance in
addition to intake of protein; which means it increases protein
retention.
- Cofactors. Topping off Power Protein’s formula are cofactors such as Vitamin B-6, Potassium,
Phosphorus, and Calcium, that are important for the metabolism of amino
acids and protein.
- The antioxidant Beta Carotene is also added to help maintain freshness and provide a powerful
antioxidant to your body with its Vitamin A activity.
- Finally, the Complex Carbohydrate/Fructose component supplies the body with a source of
energy that spares the use of proteins and supplies a carbohydrate
source of energy important for blood sugar maintenance.

| Colloidal Minerals |
1 oz taken with vitamins 20 minutes before meals 1 &
5. Kidney stones, weight gains, elevated blood cholesterol, fatigue, arthritis, cancer, age spots, add,
learning disabilities, diabetes, hypoglycemia, cardiovascular disease,
poor memory, weakened immune function, male pattern baldness, varicose
veins, irregular heart beat, shortened life span, depression, reproductive
failure, shortened life span!Get the point?Minerals are necessary for 95% of your body's daily functions.The body can function, however
poorly, without many nutrients.But without minerals the body cannot survive. When the body is lacking
minerals, vitamins have reduced effectiveness. It’s best, of course, to
ensure that BOTH are present all the time! That’s why ours does!Because of the colloidal minerals
microscopic size and being suspended in a liquid form, they are absorbed
through the walls of the intestines and colon at a much greater rate than
minerals in a tablet form. A colloidal mineral is the smallest size a
mineral can exist in, and is the size the body requires before the
individual cells can absorb and use minerals effectively.This unique formation of 70
colloidal minerals together will all of the vital vitamins your body needs
can not be found at any health food store because of its higher quality
standards.Some of the
benefits of a mineral rich diet include: increased energy levels, better
assimilation and utilization of the foods we eat and the supplements we
consume.

Branched Chain Amino
Acids (BCAAs) |
Take them 30 mins before exercise,
or directly after exercise. The BCAAs - isoleucine, leucine, and valine -
are all essential amino acids that make up about 35% of the amino acids in
muscle tissue, and can also be used for energy. Studies confirm that under
conditions of stress, injury, or exercise, a disproportionately high
amount of the BCAAs are required to maintain nitrogen balance. Studies also indicate that leucine
is used up to two or more times the rate of isoleucine or valine. BCAAs
have a history of use in hospital situations where patients were in
stressed states (burn victims, surgery, trauma, starvation). Intravenous feeding of BCAAs is
used to stimulate protein synthesis and nitrogen balance. Dosages of BCAAs vary depending upon the
products available. Some
products contain just the BCAAs; others have a few more ingredients; and
still others contain a full spectrum of 18 amino acids with extra amounts
of the BCAAs plus cofactors. Athletes, especially bodybuilders, report muscle growth and
strength benefits when taking effective BCAA formulations.However, BCAAs are not just for
power athletes.On the
contrary, endurance athletes can also benefit from BCAA
supplementation.Research has
determined that as much as 90% of the total daily leucine can be used for
energy purposes in endurance athletes.This means that several times the
normal amount of protein needs to be eaten to maintain nitrogen
balance.But, an alternative
method can be to fortify the base diet of food proteins with a BCAA type
supplement.New research has
also demonstrated a beneficial effect on endurance when BCAA’s are
ingested before and during exercise in a beverage form.
The cofactors vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and
glutamic acid are also important. |

| Anaerobic Power |
As a supplement taken before and during workouts and competition, it
stimulates enzyme activity in both cardiac and skeletal muscle cells for
improved regeneration of ATP.
Anaerobic Power is the only complete product that supplies the anaerobic energy pathway with a
complete complement of anaerobic energy metabolites. The science is
convincing during intense training, your energy soures-both ATP and
creatine phosphate are depleted. ATP is synthesized by inosine HXR and
creatine monohydrate replenishes your stores of CP. Also, the breakdown of
amino acids for energy for energy causes toxic ammonia to build up in your
blood. Glutamic acid with vitamin B6 interacts with the ammonia forming
L-Glutamine. The ammonia is gone! Whats more, your body needs extra
L-Glutamine to neutralize the catabolic effect of cortisol which is
overly-abundant during intense training. Energy improvement,
anti-catabolic effect and better mental focus all rapped up in one
powerful performance nutriceutical! Inosine is a naturally-occurring compound found in the body that contributes to
strong heart muscle contraction and blood flow in the coronary arteries.
What this means in training terms is that you'll be able to get a rep or two more out of yourself in
each set.It means that you'll be able to do your wind sprints with greater stamina.Better workouts equals better
gains.
