body s Creatine is stored within the skeletal muscles. The body cannot utilize excess stores and excretes
it through urination. If you are genetically predisposed to store larger amounts, then you will not benefit
from additional Creatine supplements. The body can synthesize Creatine from Amino Acid stores if
needed but not in any appreciable amounts.
Creatine works by assisting in the regeneration of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This allows the
muscles to perform contractions for longer periods before becoming fatigued. ATP is used mostly in short
burst type muscle contractions. A common practice is called "loading" as recommended by the
manufacturers of Creatine. This involves taking large doses (20 g/day for a about a week) and then
reducing the dosage to 2 to 5 g/day.
Possible Health Hazards: dehydration, muscle cramps and muscles injuries.
DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone and chemically related to testosterone and
estrogen. It is manufactured by the adrenal glands from cholesterol. DHEA production increases up until
the mid-20s. A steady decline in DHEA production occurs as a person ages until only about 20% is
produced by age 75 as was produced during the peak period in the 20s. There are varying studies with
varying results. Some studies show an increase in muscle mass and attribute this supplement to an
increased longevity. However, other studies show the opposite results and show an increase in body fat
and estrogen levels.
Possible Health Hazards: Increased testosterone level (women), increased estrogen level (men), altered
hormone levels, liver dysfunction, increased prostate/breast cancer risk and other steroid-like effects
(facial hair, acne, personality changes).
Ephedra (Ma Huang)
19
Ephedra (Ma Huang) is a decongestant, diuretic, and Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulant. It
stimulates the adrenal glands and increases energy level. It is also used to reduce bronchial spasms as in
asthma and allergy related illnesses. Claims also include appetite suppressant, weight-loss and anti-
depression properties. As a stimulant, it increases the metabolism through thermogenic (heat production)
means and thereby burns fat. It contains Ephedrine, a stimulant used in over-the-counter bronchodilators.
Promotes urination and reduces edema. Recommended dosage is 100 mg daily one hour before a meal.
FDA has reported over 40 deaths and over 1000 serious side effects linked to Ephedrine. Manufacturers
warn against the use of Ephedra if you are under the age of 18 or have a family history of heart disease,
thyroid disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, headaches, depression or other psychiatric condition,
glaucoma, difficulty urinating, prostate enlargement, or seizure disorder. They also recommend consulting
a doctor or licensed healthcare professional before using Ephedra.
It is also warned that exceeding the recommended dose may cause serious adverse health effects
including heart attack and stroke. Ephedra should not be used by those with anxiety disorders such as
panic attacks, or by those with glaucoma, heart disease, or high blood pressure. Not to be taken with
depression drugs, caffeine, decongestants, or other stimulants, monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MOI) or any
other dietary supplement, prescription drug or over-the-counter drug containing ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine (ingredients found in certain allergy, asthma, cough/cold, and
weight control products).
Possible Health Hazards: Hypertension, dizziness, shortness of breath, sleeplessness, palpitations,
tachycardia, arrhythmia, nerve damage, tremor, headache, seizure, stroke, heart attack, kidney stones
GABA
GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid), a non-essential amino acid, is claimed to decrease body fat levels
while increasing lean muscle tissue. GABA functions by crossing the blood-brain barrier and acting as a
pituitary stimulant thereby increasing the secretion of the Human Growth Hormone (HgH). It also acts as
an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (decreases neuron activity). It is believed that
increased levels of HgH promote a decrease in body fat and an increase in muscle growth. The
recommended dosage is one or two capsules (200mg) with a meal twice daily. For further reading on this,
visit the National Institute on Drug Abuse s website and search for GHB/GABA.
Possible Health Hazards: Bradycardia (slow heart rate), coma, death, nausea, loss of coordination,
vomiting.

L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine provides an important contribution in muscle growth through protein synthesis and increased
growth hormone levels. In a recent study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a single 2-gram
dose of Glutamine elevated circulating growth hormone (GH) levels by over 430%. GH is responsible for [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
