Pure Omega-3 Pure Omega-3 Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil The highest quality, pharmaceutical grade fish oil available!

Toxin Free - Obtained from carefully selected oils previously checked before processing for 0% pesticide, PCB & heavy metal contamination. Free of any toxic organic solvent residues or impurities.

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.

DaVinci Sugar Free Syrups DaVinci Gourmet Sugar Free Syrups are available in over 30 flavors for use in coffee drinks, sodas, desserts, frozen treats, and more.

Kre-Alkalyn Extreme Kre-Alkalyn Extreme - Designed to safely and effectively increase muscle volume, muscle strength and lean muscle mass. Creatine Monohydrate has been proven to help produce muscle strength and mass through the building of thicker muscle cell fiber and cell volumization. In clinical studies, the active ingredients in Kre-Alkalyn Extreme have been shown to be 100% safe. Some creatine monohydrate products on the market converted to an impurity called creatinine when mixed with a liquid. This impurity must be filtered through the kidneys. Kre-Alkalyn Extreme will not convert to creatinine when mixed in a liquid. Unlike most creatine powders, close to 100% of the Kre-Alkalyn Extreme is absorbed and none was converted to toxic impurities. Sugar-free - so it won't make you fat! Perfect to use while dieting also. Great Cherry flavor.

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.

FIBER-Psyll FIBER-Psyll contains Fibersol 2 and Psyllium husks and tastes great. It is designed to add soluble fiber (up to 12 grams per serving) to the diet thus cleansing the intestinal tract and keeping bowel movements regular. Fibersol 2 is a high fiber source which is heat stable, has low viscosity, pre-biotic properties and is highly soluble. It mixes instantly. Most fiber supplements have a gritty and unpleasant taste. FIBER-Psyll has a pleasant citrus flavor with a subtle pulp texture. FIBER-Psyll also helps promote the maintenance of healthy levels of blood serum cholesterol, blood triglycerides, and post-meal blood glucose.

Pro M3 ProM3 provides a unique three-protein matrix of whey, casein and egg albumin to super saturate your muscle tissues with a wide array of amino acids. Amino acids are nature's "building blocks", responsible for muscle growth and repair. And no protein delivers amino acids faster than whey protein. Whey protein is the fastest acting protein around, immediately flooding the body with amino acids, helping to kick your body into an "anabolic" or muscle growing state. On the other hand, casein is dubbed the "time release" source of protein, as the amino acids come into play after those from whey have been fully digested and absorbed. Egg albumin digests slower than whey but faster than casein, acting as the "bridge", filling in the gaps between the two. ProM3 will help build and maintain your muscles long after other proteins are gone from your body. ProM3 is also enriched with a Proprietary Enzyme Blend. This blend is a unique and natural enzyme complex, which assists in the absorption of protein.

Letter from the Editor
By Jason Cohen
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.

Peanut Power Butter

There is nothing more inspiring, empowering and useful then a simple solution to a complex question. Throughout the course of history it has been the simplest solutions to the most complex quandaries that have had the greatest impact on our lives. Einstein changed the face of physics with three little letters, E=MC2. Ben Franklin lit up our world with electricity by flying a kite into a thunder cloud. Alexander Graham Bell gave birth to modern telecommunications with 2 tin cans and a piece of wire. And now there is finally a simple solution to optimal sports nutrition; and it's called PowerButter! PowerButter is the first of a brand new breed of high-performance-foods. Offering a combination of high quality protein, essential fatty acids, healthy fiber, antioxidants and just a dash of clean carbs, PowerButter provides athletes of all ages and ambitions with the perfect blend of nutrients to maximize muscular performance, recuperation and growth. And it does all of this in the form of a tasty, all-natural peanut butter.

How Much Ya Bench?
By Charles Staley
Despite the fact that men tend to turn this lift into a demonstration event, and that women tend to shy away from the lift altogether, bench pressing (and it’s variations) remain the premier upper body development tool for physique and strength enthusiasts. Like any tool, used properly, you’ll get a great result; done improperly, then bench press can tear up shoulders like nobody’s business. Coach Charles Staley has some suggestions for safe and effective bench pressing.

How to Reinvigorate Your Workouts and Perform Better in Life!
By Dr. Mark J. Tallon
Energize . . . Perform . . . These two distinct yet unmistakably intertwined definitions are the ethos for many of us when it comes to finding a balance between work, play, and exercise performance. But how can we manage this stressful feat without feeling drained and fatigued day in day out? I don’t know about you, but it’s always been a real struggle for me—to stay perked up and mentally alert throughout the day… and to keep from zapping out during my workouts! Until recently, that is ...

There Is Nothing Fishy About Omega-3 Fatty Acids
By Jason Cohen
You have probably heard the expression, "You are what you eat." If you are pregnant then the expression changes to, "Your Baby is what you eat." For the next nine months and even longer if you choose to breastfeed, your baby’s nutrients will come from your dietary intake. One such nutrient that has been deficient in the American diet is the Omega-3 fatty acid.

Harness Your "Feel Full" Hormone For Fat Loss
By Bob Fritz
Open any health magazine and you see exciting medical advances about getting lean by adjusting your own hormones. Exotic names like leptin are thrown about, with the promise of a pill that can help you get—and stay—lean and trim. Indeed, it seems inevitable that these and other newly discovered hormones will be part of future weight control. But at the end of every story that starts out with such soaring fat loss expectations, the last sentence is the same: it will be years before these skinny pills become available. But you don’t have to wait years for a “lean hormone” solution. There is an overlooked, yet powerful hormone inside your body that deserves closer attention. In fact, this hormone may actually rival the new fat loss discoveries. This hormone helps you “feel full” so you eat up to 30% less.

Even When You're "Off" The Synthetics . . . You’ll Still Look Just As Big Without Them
By Dan Amato
By now you know the awesome brutality of Fizogen’s “On Cycle” with its mega-potent array of numerous anabolic/ androgenic agents that are unsurpassed (by any legal means!!) in their ability to make you explode with tons of lean muscle!  However, as the old saying goes… all really good things must come to an end! No, not the actual muscle- building process in this case… just the mechanism of how it’s done. And this new method of building muscle is unlike anything you’ve ever seen… thanks to Fizogen’s new MID CYCLE concept that acts as a “muscle building bridge” between the use of ON CYCLE (anabolic/androgenic “synthetic” agent) and OFF CYCLE (natural anabolic / adaptogenic recovery agent).
