Is Estrogen & Cortisol holding Your Body Captive?


The Infamous Estrogen Bloat & Cortisol Love Handles that plague nearly every physique is not something minor you can simply tweak in your diet or training regimen to fix. It’s a hormonal tragedy that can be caused by too many things.
Truth is an unhealthy hormone balance of estrogen & cortisol can nearly destroy any physique.
This is where Nolvadren XT shines. Containing precise ratios of actives to achieve a near perfect hormonal state (muscle building state).

The Estrogen Metabolizer


Healthy Estrogen Balance is crucial to promoting a dry, hard-looking physique.
But beyond that, too much estrogen will make you want to cuddle up with your girlfriend & read a book over hitting the gym… yeah that’s what I thought – lets get this under control!
In recent studies Androst-3,5-dien-7,17-dione has shown to dramatically inhibit aromatase in human microsomes. This promotes huge positive effects on free Testosterone:Estrogen Ratio in your body. This is HUGE!

Positive Beneficial Estrogen Metabolites


When Estrogen is broken down in your body, it can either form beneficial or harmful estrogen metabolites. DIM helps your body to break down estrogen into the beneficial type. This encourages lean body mass & anti-aging effects. DIM also simultaneously reduces the levels of harmful estrogen metabolites & appears to promote a healthy balance of testosterone in the body.

Harder, Dryer, Leaner Like Never Before

Cortisol is the stress hormone that may instruct the body to breakdown muscle tissue & increases visceral adipose tissue (solid belly fat that most of us have). This solid belly fat is near impossible to lose – especially when cortisol levels remain high.

This could also be the reason why you can’t achieve “washboard abs”.
Research indicates 7-Hydroxy-Dehydroepiandrosterone works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts cortisone to the stress hormone cortisol. This stops cortisol at the source promoting a Harder, Dryer, Leaner Looking Physique.

We didn’t stop there; we wanted a synergistic blend of stopping cortisol at the source as well as providing a healthy balance of cytokines. Cytokines are cellular messengers that can have both good & bad effects by reducing levels of inflammatory cytokines released by your immune system. 7-Hydroxy-17B-Dihydro-Dehydroepiandrosterone does this perfectly & creates the synergistic ratio we were searching for – this is not for beginners.

Near Perfect Muscle Building State

This is where Nolvadren XT shines. Containing precise ratios of actives to achieve a near perfect hormonal state addressing Testosterone, Estrogen, & Cortisol to shift you into a muscle building state.

VPX Thyrovex™ - Thyroid Support Matrix - Boost Metabolism - Increase Energy - Fat Burning

 Thyroid Support Matrix

  • Boost Metabolism
  • Increase Energy Expenditure
  • Enhance Fat Burning & Thermogenesis
Thyrovex™ is a stand alone product designed as a powerful Thyroid support supplement. Thyroid hormones have many important functions in the body one of which is powerful non-stimulant fat burning properties that deliver a great deal of sustained natural energy. Environmental pollutants, aging and exposure to fluoride in our drinking water and tooth paste all uniquely lower thyroid by different mechanisms. The result of low thyroid levels are less natural energy and inability to maintain low body fat. Thyroid hormones also work synergistically with other fat burning hormones like GH (growth hormone) to help promote even greater fat loss and increases in lean muscle along with anti-aging characteristics.

Research shows that fluoride might decrease serum free T-3 and T-4 levels. One study found that a higher consumption of food from the sea and a higher dietary iodine intake are significantly associated with a decreased risk of thyroid cancer. Also, low selenium status correlate with risk of goiter (thyroid swelling and dysfunction). Furthermore, tyrosine is needed for normal thyroid hormone function. Optimal thyroid function is also key to optimal metabolism. Persons with an under active thyroid are often overwiegt and have trouble maintaining ideal weight. Thyrovex contains iodine, L-tyrosine, special amino acid chelated selenium and the novel 3,5' Diiodo-L-Thyronine.

Weight Gain Increases Possibility of Skin Tags. Can Creams Like Tag Away Remove Skin Tags?

 

What is a skin tag?


Skin tags or acrochordon are common, acquired, benign skin growths that look like a small piece of soft, hanging skin. They are harmless growths with some individuals being more prone to tags.

An individual may acquire greater than 50-100 tags through increased weight combined with heredity or other unknown causes. Men and women are equally prone to developing skin tags.

Can creams help?


According to Medicnet.com, "There are no currently medically approved creams for the removal of skin tags. Skin tags are typically removed by physical methods."

MAN Vaporize: The non-stimulant fat burner.


The below is from Muscle and Fitness:

SESAMIN IS A LIGNAN found in sesame oil that can offer potent antioxidant activity and aid fat loss. Sesamin itself has no antioxidant activity; however, in the liver it gets converted to an active form that acts like a powerful antioxidant. In fact, one study showed that males who took sesamin before exercise had considerably less oxidative damage after exercise as compared to controls and subjects who took Vitamin E before exercise. Not only does the active form scavenge damaging free radicals, but it also decreases fatty acid production and increases fat breakdown. That adds up to greater fat loss when sesamin is taken regularly.

One of the mechanisms by which scientists believe sesamin works is by altering genes that increase the production of metabolic enzymes and other important proteins involved in producing body fat and burning fat for energy in the body. An effective dose of sesamin appears to be 500-1,000 mg taken 2-3 times a day with food. You can find a potent form of sesamin in Sesamin by Scivation (scivation.com).

The below is from the manufacturer:

VAPORIZE™ represents a sensation so remarkable you have to experience it to believe it. Comprised of a revolutionary nutritional breakthrough; sesamin, a gift found in the husks of sesame seeds and in the bark and fruit of certain plant species. VAPORIZE™ sets free a body fat reducing phenomenon so extraordinary it defies description! Recognized as a lignan, sesamin found in VAPORIZE™ from MAN Sports, also supports liver and kidney health, supports healthy cholesterol levelsalready within the normal range and posses potent Antioxidant activity by increasing the absorption, use and recycling of Vitamin E.* Its tremendous fat oxidizing phenomenon is believed to be attributed to augmenting the release of potent thermogenic enzymes through optimized liver function.* Fascinatingly more, sesamin's potent fat and health promoting effects are further amplified when used in conjunction with essential fatty acids.* And that is why VAPORIZE™ also integrates BIG-FISH™, a potent 50% EPA/DHA fish oil matrix. As a premium source of EFA's, BIG-FISH™, works in tandem with sesamin in VAPORIZE™ to initiate a fat incinerating and health promoting supplement!*


The Highlights

  • Radically reduces body fat through a process called fat oxidation*
  • Inhibits lipogenic (fat storing) gene expression of several different fat storing enzymes*
  • Provides powerful anti-oxidant properties*
  • Supports healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range*
  • Supports healthy liver and kidney function*
  • Increases insulin sensitivity and acts as a nutrient partitioner*
  • Stacks well with Scorch, PUFA's, Flax lignans, and bioisomer-specific CLA for more dramatic and effective bodyfat reducing and health promoting properties.*

Sesamin

Sesamin is a lignan (a lignan is a chemical compound known as a phytoestrogen) and activates the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activator Receptor Alpha (PPAR alpha).* There are 3 different classes of PPAR's:

  1. Alpha - expressed in kidney, heart, muscle, adipose tissue, and others.
  2. Gamma - though transcribed by the same gene, this PPAR exists in three forms (y-1 (expressed in virtually all tissues), y-2 (expressed primarily in fat tissue), y-3 (expressed in macrophages, intestines and white adipose tissue).
  3. Delta - expressed in many tissues but markedly in brain, adipose tissue and skin.

PPAR's are nuclear receptors that play major roles in fat metabolism, cellular energy balance and insulin sensitivity. Basically they are small complexes that have major impact on many systems in our body and many systems that contribute to fat loss and nutrient usage/expenditure/storage. The PPAR alpha receptors can be found expressed in the muscle, liver, and kidneys, and is specifically involved in the transcription of the genes involved in the beta-oxidation (burning) of fatty acids and lipogenesis (the storing of fat). As such, sesamin does two significant things in regards to weight control/fat loss.

It produces the phenomenon known as fat oxidation by augmenting the release of potent thermogenic enzymes through optimized liver function.* Meaning it helps increase the rate at which fat gets converted to energy.* It inhibits the function of fat storing enzymes.* Sesamin can alter metabolism to be one that preferentially utilizes fat as an energy source as well as foil its storage.*

Another thing of importance to the war on weight loss is that PPAR alpha activation (of which sesamin is extremely potent) also increases uncoupling-proteins (UCPs).* What this means is that an increase in UCPs would increase the calories needed to produce the same amount of energy. In other words sesamin increases the rate and capacity at which cells can vaporize fat.*

BIG-FISH™

BIG-FISH™ is a 50% EPA/DHA essential fatty acids blend which are known to have numerous health benefits. Among the proven health promoting properties of EPA and DHA are cardiovascular health, healthy blood cholesterollevels that are already within the normal range, support healthy joints and bodyfat reduction.* EPA and DHA also work in tandem with sesamin in activation of PPAR alpha and as such amplify the fat burning and health promoting properties of sesamin.*
