Body Fortress Protopure Review

Body Fortress has a wide range of supplements covering most areas of sport and fitness. In these harsh economic times many athletes are eager to find out whether these products are a value for money purchase. Body Fortress Protopure is not the most expensive whey protein, but it does compare well with some of the high end products it competes with.

If it is used as a post-workout shake it is reasonably effective. It contains an adequate amount of protein and it is a quality whey protein source. Cross-flow micro-filtered whey protein is widely acknowledged as a superior protein source. The carbohydrates are courtesy of maltodextrin which is useful for replenishing glycogen stores after intense exercise and driving the protein to your muscles quickly. It also contains a selection of vitamins and minerals and only 2 grams of fat.

When these products are on offer which seems to be quite often you will struggle to find a better value purchase. It might not be the best weight gainer or meal replacement on the market. But when it is being sold at half price or in some cases better than half price my advice is purchase as much as you can carry.

If you do use it then make sure that you use it with water. Apart from the obvious reasons of it being digested faster than milk, it also seems to taste much better although the opposite is usually the case with many protein shakes. There does not seem to be any problems with the different flavours so go with your personal preference.

This is a no-thrills meal replacement but that should not be a discouragement. If you are looking for some serious muscle gains, there are better performing products out there. For those who are looking for a cost effective whey protein, this will meet all if not most of your needs. If the primary aim is to maintain muscle, and make small mass gains this will do the job.

Myprotein Ultra Fine Scottish Oats Review

Where food sources are concerned carbohydrates can be a real problem when you are not bulking up. Eventually the time will come when you want to diet down and jettison a few pounds of excess fat that has been accumulated. Choosing a good source of carbohydrate can make the process a lot simpler. Ultra fine Scottish rolled oats are widely accepted as one of the best carbohydrates for any bodybuilder or athlete.

The reason for their popularity is the fact they are a slow release energy food source. There is no massive spike in blood sugar and insulin levels prompted by a serving of starchy carbohydrate. Rolled oats will give your body a gradual supply of energy over a period of time. This food is tailor made for our nutritional requirements and is exactly how the body needs to refuelled.

Both Myprotein and Bulk Powders ultra fine Scottish rolled oats were tested over the course of a two month period. There is not really much difference between the actual products in terms of the nutritional value. The only noticeable difference is the packaging both products come in. The rolled oats from Myprotein come in a re-sealable plastic sack while Bulk Powders sends their product in an airtight plastic container. This is reflected in the price with Myprotein being the value for money option.

Ultra fine rolled oats should be a food source that any athlete or bodybuilder has in constant supply. Whether you are making a bowl of porridge, mixing up some oatmeal or adding it to your protein drink oats are probably one of the best clean carbohydrate sources available. Ultra fine oats are more like a powder in terms of consistency and they mix well with liquids.

Prices for this product are very similar although there are usually discounts for bulk purchase as well as occasional special offers so check out their websites for the best deal on offer.

Muscletech Hydroxycut Hardcore Review

A good fat loss product is invaluable for any bodybuilder. Even power lifters can sometimes find themselves in a situation where they have unwittingly accumulated a few extra pounds of unwanted fat. In this scenario, a good fat burner can really pay dividends when used alongside your other supplements.

After bulking up for a period of time I wanted to try one of the leading fat loss supplements. There are a handful of products in the sports nutrition industry that have a good reputation when it comes to dieting down. I decided to use Hydroxycut Hardcore which is produced by Muscletech. This is a well known company whose products I trust implicitly. Hardcore is the latest version of the original Hydroxycut product and promises to be even more potent.

Hydroxycut is a product that has generated intense debate from within the bodybuilding community. I used it for a period of two months and it certainly delivered in terms of fat loss. When taking any kind of weight loss supplement the best indicator as to the effectiveness of the product is your abs. While taking Hydroxycut my abdominal muscles were more clearly defined.

Elsewhere on the body I also noticed a visible reduction in fat especially on the upper arms and neck area. Muscle tissue all over my physique was there to see instead of being covered by water or fat. If used correctly, Hydroxycut Hardcore will lead to a visible reduction in your body fat levels. It is not a case of will the product work but more by how much it will work. You only have to examine the ingredients to realise how potent this stuff is.

The product comes in liquid capsules which are easy to swallow with water. Recommended serving size is three capsules taken with a glass of water twice a day before mealtimes or workouts. Water intake should be at least 80 oz per day. The important thing to remember is not to do what I did and take your second serving too late in the day. There is some caffeine in the product which may prevent you from sleeping. Do not take it within five hours of bedtime and you should have no problems.

If you are looking for a powerful fat loss supplement to help you get into the best possible shape then this definitely fits, the bill. Hydroxycut Hardcore is a product that will get you shredded in a short space of time.
