    I'm around once in a while when I have a few moments of free time. I more so contribute by spreading science and hot takes then anything else anymore lol. How have you been?

    I respect your view point and your counter arguments lead me to eventually dig more into the MOA of curcumin. I hope some long term data comes out eventually. If it does not impact adaptations that leads to muscle growth, like I suspect, and it improves all aspects of recovery, then its likely...

    I was reviewing more information on curcumin and its potential effects on muscle tissue, and I thought I would update this thread with it. I will state, that there is still a lack of long term data. I first theorized that due to curcumin antioxidant effects, it could negatively impact muscle...

    The limit for muscle building benefits seems to stop at about 1.8g/kg/bw pd. Higher intakes even up to about 3.4g/kg/bw pd can help one when bulking to limit fat gain according to some data. Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed
  5. SHBG more important than previously thought

    I wrote this for something else, hope someone finds it helpful. In recent literature, they have identified megalin, a low-density lipoprotein endocytic receptor located in various mammalian tissues, has been recently shown to facilitate sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) steroid complexes...

    Green Tea polyphenols are known for possible leading to nausea or stomach upset. They are best absorbed on an empty stomach though so its a win/lose for some: Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed The electrolyte amounts of most energy drinks are insignificant given the amount of fluids...
  7. I feel better after switching from coffee to Bang/Reign

    Many polyphenols are neuroactive and may explain your differing response as energy drinks lacks these in almost 100% of cases. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is common polyphenol in coffee, of course in varying amounts depending on roasting and brewing procedures. CGA was identified to be about 1/3 as...

    They are not exactly the same. They have a deal with CurQFen to trademark their name of Curcumin Elite. What this trademark does is hold their raw material to a higher specification analysis. What they call out on their label is guaranteed where other companies using this ingredient may have the...

    I never disagreed with this point. Edit: I appreciate the back and forth discussion. I do not believe understanding how to adapt properly to the exercise most do for the adaptations and what may impact this process positively or negatively is minor; esp considering most spend a lot of money...

    This effect may be there, yes. But with other things, such as NAC, that help recovery in the short term (24-48 hours) they actually see recovery worsened by day 5-6 post-wo. That curcumin study only measured up 48 hours post-wo. Its hard to say, which is why I wonder about curcumins effects on...

    Thanks for sharing. I didn't find the study, did not look that hard. But this: Invalid Link Removed The above states they saw a decrease in post-wo IL-6, this can possibly indicate that this combo will blunt exercise adaptations. Useful for athletes who have return to play period that are...

    I more so posted these as its not clear of its effects but it could negatively impact adaptations. The studies conflict with one another. They do not use the same dosing or formulations. One showed about a months use prior to the exercise intervention assisted in recovery with no statistically...

    Anyone invested in a velocity device yet? Might splurge on the push band. Read a few studies and seen some high recommendations for it. Plus it's cheaper then many other options. If I'll use it all the time or not I'm not sure but I think it would be fun and it would be an objective addition to rpe.
