Supplement guide - next 6 (11-16)

Supplement guide - next 6 (11-16) Today I made another short list with 6 new weight loss and health supplements, some of which I am sure you haven’t heard and don’t know about their properties.

I was wondering this morning what article to write and after all I decided to continue with this supplement guide, because I think it is useful and you like it .

As I mentioned in “Supplement Guide Introduction” and “Supplement Guide Continuation (5-10)“, follow the doses, which are displayed in this supplement guide or on the label of the supplement – many weight loss supplements stop working effective if you overdose them. You are going to pay much more if you take too much of them and sometimes this will harm your health.

Rates
	Highly recommended for everyday usage.
	These supplements help your efforts. Some of them work indirectly and sometimes are more expensive than 5 star supplements.
	Some of these supplements help you to achieve specific goals and work individual (have different effect).
	These supplements are for people with specific needs. Often they are more expensive or work better in different situations – for example many of them work better for beginners, others work better for advanced training people.

Category
Based on their function in our body supplements have at least one main property. Some of them have more properties – in this case their properties here are ordered so that their main property is first one.
S – Strength	F – Fat loss	E – Energy	H – Health	B – Brain stimulation

1) Melatonin H

It is produced in the epiphysis gland, based on tryptophan amino acid. Fitness and bodybuilding athletes take melatonin for better sleep i.e. better recovery, but people with irregular wake up time or people who suffer of insomnia take it as well. Melatonin restores the normal rhythm sleep/wake up and neutralizes the effect of stimulants like ephedrine, which increases the norepinephrine.

Doses: 0,3 – 10mg about an hour before sleep time.

2) Metoksi isoflavone S

This is antiestrogen supplement. As such it increases testosterone’s level. Along with this, metoksi isoflavone accelerates protein synthesis and decreases kortisol’s level.

Doses: 500 – 200mg per day separated into 3 intakes with your food.

3) Multivitamins/Multiminerals H

Their intake as supplement eliminates the danger of their lack, which raises when your food is not varied or loss of vitamins and minerals as result of exercising. Very often vitamins and minerals are not produced by your organism in high enough amounts so that be able to sustains your metabolism on good level.

Doses: 1 – 2 times a day with food. Choose companie products, which give you 100% of your necessary daily dose vitamins C, D, E and more vitamins of B group, also 100% of your necessary needs of zinc, cooper and chrome.

4) Starch blockers F

They are extracted from haricot also known as “phaseolus vulgaris”, which contains enzyme blocker - “alpha amylase inhibitor”. It blocks enzymes activity, which takes down the starch into smaller ingredients. In results of this almost 66% of taken carbohydrates literally pass trough your body without been absorbe by your stomach.

Doses: 1- 2gr 30 min before meal if you want to block carbohydrate absorption.

“Good Foods, Bad Foods and Carbohydrate Enemies” is good starting point if you want to know more about carbohydrates.

5) Ornithine/Ornithine alpha ketoglutarate F

Ornithine is amino acid, which your body uses to produce arginin. Therefore it has similar to arginin properties: increases Growth hormone production and nitrogen oxide. Ornithine is helpful for proper functioning of the immune system and the liver and suppresses the catabolism as increases the anabolism.

Doses:1 – 2gr on empty stomach along with arginin, 2 – 3 times a day.

“BCAAs - amino acids for long weight loss training” - if you want to help your cardio and weight training, this is good starting point too.

6) Probiotics H

These are “good” bacterias, which help for better recovery of your stomach microflora, which can be breached or destroyed by stress and chemical (irregular nutrition, bad nutrition habits, food and supplements). That way you achieve the best stomach functioning and stop bacterial and virus infections.

These useful bacterias, which normally live in our stomachs and guts, improve their functions, ensure digestive health and protection against many dislikes. If your digestive system not works properly, your body can’t absorb food elements, which are needed for good trainings and quality weight loss.

Doses: Eat probiotic food sources like milk, yoghurt or as supplement (enclosed in capsules Lactobacillus and Bifidus) every day. Start with 10 units (follow the label) for about 2 weeks, after that continue with 2 units for supporting.

I am interested to know what do you think about supplements like starch blockers, which help the food to pass your body without fully absorption?
