Hey guys, so nutriverse is usually one of my go-tos, but I recently placed an order and apart from it not processing, I have been having a hell of a time getting in touch with their CS. The phone number on the website hasn't picked up in days. The contact system on the website isn't working...

CK is increased by muscle destruction. Injecting a foreign body into muscle can do this. Working out can do this. If CK goes too high, you can go into renal failure. But "too high" is generally REALLY high CPK

Contraction of the bladder is controlled by the B2 receptor, and the urethral sphincter (which shuts off pee flow) is controlled by the alpha 1 receptor. The combination of stimulants in alphamine causes relaxation of the bladder while contracting the urethral sphincter, making initiation of...

Nitrate patches can be used. The issue is that nitrates work chiefly in reducing VENOUS pressure. What you want for BP is to reduce ARTERIAL pressure. Now, reducing venous pressure can decrease preload and thus systolic BP, but that isn't achieving the full goal.

The best I have ever used with stimulants is norcodrene. I have zero affiliation btw

Garlic is probably the best I've used. Hawthorne and celery don't have data, but they appear to work for most. A daily nitrate product could help too

Sigh...

None of the ingredients I can see on the labels are sensitive to pH to begin with. Also, enteric-coating does not cause a beneficial extended release. It's absorbed just as rapidly, it's just that it takes longer to START absorbing. Good for things like peptides and probiotics. Besides these...

Stick to the human stuff since we have it. 2 human studies to date show detriment, that's the first I've seen that shows benefit. Also relevant is the style of training (aerobic vs anaerobic), diet (resveratrol mimics caloric restriction), timing, and what they measured. Something can reduce...

Here's a good read: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK223808/?report=classic This breaks down everything related to caffeine. (Don't use paraxanthine for fat loss, caffeine is a prodrug to it anyway). Of note, smoking increases caffeine tolerance and estrogen decreases it

Life's been busy...but so good :) If you see above, caffeine tolerance is unrelated to adrenal hormone stores. Caffeine -> adenosine receptor blockade -> (several steps) -> adrenergic receptor stimulation In response to prolonged caffeine intake, the adenosine receptor upregulates and the...

Trans-resveratrol MAY be beneficial for health, but in individuals who exercise, human studies show it is detrimental to making adaptations

Caffeine tolerance is a combination of: Upregulation of adenosine receptors Up regulation of the CYPs that metabolize caffeine The latter can be addressed by inhibitors, but you're SOL with the former phenomenon

Unfortunately, apnea is a growing cause of fatigue. This is usually characterized by sleepiness though, rather than overall physical fatigue

Believe me I'm aware how this works. Celiac does not cause anemia, as folate, b12, and iron are all water soluble. Celiac also has a presentation involving malodorous stools, diarrhea, weight loss, etc. It causes fatigue secondary to poor energy intake. I wouldn't just take a shotgun approach...

If someone came to me with fatigue, I would never suggest eliminating gluten. The most common causes of fatigue, in order, are psychosomatic, anemia, and hypothyroidism

First, congrats, those are some quality guys. Would any of the reps mind messaging me regarding an order with incorrect items? I made an order during the Arnold sale and a couple things went wrong (coupon didn't work and never got a manual refund, and then when my order came the wrong products...

There is potential benefit. Colorectal cancer is fairly unique in that inflammation plays a relatively large role in its pathogenesis (there's a large human study on COX-2 and aspirin reducing risk of cancer). Deranged gut flora can cause inflammation chronically by rendering you unable to...

The probiotic with the best human data, and one that we routinely use in actual hospitals for patients with GI issues, is not even a bacterium. Saccharomyces boulardii. The human data is incredible - diarrhea, constipation, IBS, C. diff., even peptic ulcer disease. I use a hefty dose of...

Electric potentials turn into nerve signals. To generate a nerve signal (also known as "action potential"), you need to hit a threshold level of electric potentials. Example (numbers are arbitrary, nowhere near physiological): You have 8 neurons. Neurons 1-7 are all individually connected to...
