Imagine continuously adding pounds of muscle mass, month after month, and year after year.

L-Arginine L-Arginine Powder - L-Arginine is a conditionally essential basic amino acid involved primarily in urea metabolism and excretion as well as DNA synthesis. Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide, which the body uses to keep blood vessels dilated which can provide bodybuilding and sexual benefits. It also assists in wound healing, helps remove excess ammonia from the body, stimulates immune function, and promotes secretion of several hormones, including glucagon, insulin, and growth hormone. NOW® L-Arginine Powder is a 100% pure, free form, pharmaceutical grade amino acid.

Low Carb Lean Body® tastes so good that it was awarded an American Tasting Institute Gold Medal! Each packet of Low Carb Lean Body® is a nutritional powerhouse containing a big 42 grams of high quality protein, only 12 grams of carbohydrates, and 24 essential vitamins and minerals!

6-OXO 6-OXO™ - The most effective estrogen-blocking supplement ever created! 6-OXO™ is what is known as a suicide inhibitor of aromatase - to both reduce estrogen and increase testosterone. This means that 6-OXO™ binds to the aromatase enzyme in a permanent and irreversible manner, rendering it inactive. The result of this is an eventual diminishment of aromatase enzyme in the body and a concomitant reduction in estrogen levels. A corresponding increase in testosterone production is usually experienced as well.

Whey MatrixWhey Matrix from ISS Research is a 5 pound blend of Whey Protein Concentrate and Isolate enhanced with Glutamine Peptides. Whey Matrix is a clean filtered, un-denatured, Aspartame-free protein powder mix that is highly digestible! Whey Matrix mixes instantly with a spoon or in a Shaker bottle. No messy blender clean-up! Excellent value! Just $26.95 for 5 pound canister

Flax Seed Golden Flax Seeds - Flax seeds are an important source of polyunsatured fatty acids, including Omega-3, plus Magnesium, Zinc and dietary fiber. Flax oil from flax seeds is the richest known source of linolenic acid. It contains protein, mucilage, phytosterols and lignans. Grind your own seeds on a daily basis for the freshest and healthiest seed oil. Add to cereals, salads and blender drinks.

Stevia Extract PacketsStevia Extract Packets - Stevia is an herb which is about 300 times sweeter than cane sugar, or sucrose. Stevia is not absorbed through the digestive tract, and therefore has no calories. Now available as a dietary supplement in white powder form in convenient packets.

Gluten Flour Gluten Flour - From High Protein Wheat. NOW's Gluten Flour is derived from durum wheat. It is considerably higher in protein (70% protein) than most other gluten flours - and is quite low in carbohydrates. Gluten Flour is useful in making low carbohydrate breads and is also suitable for making seitan, a vegetarian meat like substitute.

McCann's Steel Cut Oats McCann's Irish Oatmeal - Steel Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into only two or three pieces. They are golden in color and resemble mini rice particles. Steel Cut Oats are not the same as Rolled Oats which are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste, goodness and texture. Steel-cut oats are inherently full of nutritional value and are high in B-Vitamins, protein and fiber while low in salt and unsaturated fat. The quality of Irish Oats and the distinctive crunchy texture make McCann's Steel-Cuts a gourmet delight.

Letter From The Editor

In an election year, politics seem to be at the forefront of every media outlet imaginable.  You can’t turn on the television or radio without hearing some form of political banter.   Believe it or not, politics has a lot to do with what you can or can’t put inside your body. This past year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the use of nutritional supplements containing the herb ephedra.  In the near future, U.S. legislation is going to ban the use of products containing highly effective prohormones such as Androstenediol, Norandrostenediol, 1-AD, and 1-Test.  What products go next is anyone's guess, but you can bet that the more they are effective at causing physiological or performance improvements, the more likely they are to be targeted next by the government. This has more to do with unfair competitive advantages in sports than it has to do with safety issues, but no one is effectively fighting for the rights of non-competitive athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

So, should we be happy that the government is trying to protect us from supplements that are dangerous? Think about it, the FDA allows adult consumers to use products such as alcohol and tobacco, yet doesn’t let the consumer make a choice about ephedra or prohormones.  To date, there are few documented deaths related to ephedra or prohormones overdose.  Certainly there are some pretty staggering death tolls associated with products such as alcohol, tobacco and even many over-the-counter pain killers. No one is questioning whether some people might abuse any substance and certainly kids should not be taking some supplements, but instead of banning these nutritional supplements for all adults, maybe a better approach would have been to make a minimum age requirement to use the products. 

What does all of this mean to the consumer in America?  First of all, rest assured that there are still many effective and innovative nutritional products still on the market.  Also know that supplement manufacturers will continue to research and develop cutting edge products to help you add lean muscle, burn fat, gain strength and improve health. Believe it or not, there are still some old reliable stand-by supplements that have worked for many years and will continue to be popular for years to come.  One such product, creatine monohydrate, has withstood the test of time.  It still sells very well and that is simply because it still works very effectively.  Guess what, creatine is not legal in some countries so maybe we don’t have it so bad!

Now, what about some of the other newer products that the FDA has not picked on?  One of the most popular products today are the nitric oxide stimulators.  Products such as NOX2 and NOS Matrix are very effective, get very good reviews from users and seem to not yet be on the chopping block by the government. Another very popular product has been the omega 3 fatty acids.  Products like Pure Omega 3 have been selling like hotcakes and new studies are coming out all the time promoting the beneficial health effects of omega-3's.

The bottom line is, you - the consumer - have the final say.  Even though it seems like the government is stepping on your toes, rest assured that the same companies that brought you ephedra and prohormones are busy staying one step ahead in helping you achieve your goals.  Please do all you can to let your legislators know how you feel about the importance of supplement freedom. For the time being, let's all be happy that we still have better access to great nutritional supplements than many other areas of the world - and undoubtedly new science will bring us even better products in the future.

Your Friend,
