Whey Concentrate
Whey concentrate has several unique properties that help with weight loss. Whey protein is high in cysteine which promotes production of glutathione which aids the body to combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress and inflammation has been shown to promote weight gain by damaging sugar metabolism. Whey protein has been shown to improve insulin function. Whey protein also boosts serotonin levels.
Make sure you whey protein is tested to be what is known as WPC 80 for eighty percent whey by volume otherwise you are getting mostly lactose I.e. milk sugar.

Body fat is essential for a healthy body. Yet, excess body fat can cause health problems and it does this in the metabolic sense by deranging metabolism. Too much fat in the bloodstream and around vital organs causes metabolic parameters to go awry. Diabetes is one consequence. Lets see how fat is handled in the body, from consumption to storage.

First of all, body fat is a natural substance and we all carry some body fat because it is essential to life as well as energy process as well as being a source of hormones and other substances like essential fatty acids that we need to sustain life. Problems start to occur when we store too much fat and as we age fat levels increase. Our bodies can convert excess energy into fat. This is very much over-looked because people tend to think if something is ‘fat free’ they can eat as much as they like but this isn’t the case. If we eat in excess of our energy needs our bodies convert other main nutrients like carbohydrate and protein to fat which is then stored when not used for energy. This is the reason why we get fat if we eat too much of anything.

Have you been dieting for a while and still not seeing any results? Feel like you are starving all the time yet body fat composition hasn’t changed? if you are finding yourself in this situation then its likely you are suffering from low leptin levels.

Leptin is produced in the fat cells. The production rate of leptin is controlled by your level of body fat and the number of fat cells in your body.

Gaba, or Gamma-Aminobutyric-Acid, is a non-essential amino acid present in the brain which was first discovered around 1883. It is actually classified as a neurotransmitter which means it helps nerve impulses cross the synapses and communicate better. It is also a natural tranquilizer. It helps induce sleep and improves sleep quality as well.

Gaba also increases growth hormone levels in the body. Growth hormone has been found in studies to facilitate the metabolism of fats in the body. As you get older your growth hormone levels decrease which means it’s a lot harder to lose fat with age so increasing growth hormone levels is definitely a good thing as it also helps with increasing muscle gain.

Body Mortar is a precise, scientific blend of key aminos, leucine, isoleucine and valine, formulated to fuel the most competitive athlete through the most gruelling workout. Body Mortar also features a glutamine recovery formula and now has a long lasting electrolyte matrix to counter muscle cramps and sodium/potassium loss.
Body Mortar also uses  a fast digesting maltodextrin/dextrose blended carb source for instant digestibility and uptake because once you have depleted your muscles of stored glycogen you want to replenish then as quick as possible.
The end result of Body Mortar is high concentrations of critical protein synthesis enhancing nutrients coupled with copious amounts of supporting ingredients.

What are BCAA’s?
BCAA is a combination of essential branched chain amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine and valine that are very important for bodybuilders and athletes because these are used up by the body to build protein.
Because these amino acids are known as essential amino acids it means that these are not produced in the body  as the same way as non-essential amino acids are, but are rather obtained through our diets and supplementation. That is why it is suggested that supplementation of BCAA’s is very important to athletes because they can prevent any deficiencies.

A comprehensive nutrient supplementing the body with nutrient microelements playing an important role in the nutrition of sportsmen, whose deficits frequently result in a decrease in condition. The orange capsule is a composition of vitamins (Vita-Plex) including a set of special extracts that have positive impact on the functioning of the liver and prostate. The blue capsule is a high quality mineral composition (Chela-Min) with easily digestible mineral components in the form of ALBION amino acid chelates thanks to which they are absorbed several times better than minerals contained in traditional preparations on the market. These components are produced by a major raw materials company (group of mineral chelates) the American company ALBION. The improvement in vitamin absorption is additionally ensured by bioflavonoid compounds and extract of black pepper, Bioperine which raises the absorption of some vitamins by as much as 60%. The product facilitates  the coverage of the increased demand for vitamins and minerals of physically active people and sportsmen.

Although most people often think protein is for bodybuilders research has shown  the importance of getting enough protein to support intense training and peak exercise performance, understand optimal protein intake and separate protein fact from protein fiction.

Protein is the key building blocks for optimal performance. The body is continuously rebuilding damaged cells and tissue meaning a rich supply of  proteins essential for all athletes. Eating enough protein will help with power and get you in peak condition ready for your next workout.

How much protein do I need daily?
The UK food standards agency suggests one should have around 55g of protein daily. However, new research claims that regular training increases protein demands. All forms of intense exercise increase protein demands drastically. Most experts say to endurance athletes should consume around 1g protein per pound of bodyweight daily but if you are a person that lifts weight then they say to consume more at around 1.5g – 2g per pound of bodyweight daily.

Isoflex is extracted through micro-filtration techniques (cold temperature process). This is a filtration process that removes the larger, less absorbable protein molecules while filtering out fat, lactose and ash.  The membranes used for this process are extremely fine and have the ability to remove even more lactose, fat and ash than the process of ultra-filtration which is used for lower quality whey protein products.

The holy grail of high end whey isolate is cross-flow micro filtered whey protein isolate. Using this process Allmax is able to produce Isoflex, an ultra pure protein that maintains an optimal macronutrient ratio, yielding 27g protein, 1g carbohydrate and 0g fat (varying depending on flavour).
