Myocap™ – Post Workout Blend

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

MyoCap™

Have you ever felt muscle pain the day after an intense workout? This is your body’s natural way of telling you that your muscles were stressed and need proper time and nutrients to recover.

Most people don’t know that the recovery phase (resting, sleeping) can be enhanced with the proper blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids. With MyoCap, you can work out as intensely as ever, but the results don’t have to be as uncomfortable.

Designed to be taken after exercise, MyoCap contains an exclusive blend of nutrients that promote recovery after training and exercise and helps support the recuperative process, so your muscle pains are minimized.

L-Arginine is an amino acid that helps speed muscle recovey from stress. After a vigorous workout, dietary arginine can contribute to a hormonal environment that produces increased protein synthesis and muscle growth.

OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins) and ORACTIVE are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds in fruit, vegetables, and bark). Bioflavonoids have been reported to seek out and subdue free-radicals and form a protective shield.

Vitamin C reduces strength loss in muscles after exercise and promotes faster recovery. Vitamin C supplementation also reduces the intensity of soreness.

Vitamin B Complex (thiamin and B6) helps release energy for cellular regeneration and support amino acid and protein synthesis.

Anti-Cancer Foods, Do they Work?

Saturday, December 12th, 2009
The short answer to this question is—drum roll, please—yes. They really do. While studies are ongoing, and in many cases experts still don’t know exactly how these superfoods work, there’s strong evidence that certain fruits and vegetables rich in plant-based nutrients can both prevent tumors from starting and halt their growth. Here, the top foods to work into the family diet if you’d like to cut cancer risk or help those with cancer recover. And who wouldn’t?
Blueberries, açai berries, raspberries, and cranberries

The rich, dark colors of blueberries, Brazilian açai berries, raspberries and cranberries come from phytochemicals that protect against numerous types of cancer. Most recently, researchers at the University of Florida found that the active ingredient in açai berries destroyed cancer cells when tested in cell cultures. And blueberries and muscadine grapes contain compounds that recent research shows cause cancer cells in the liver to self-destruct. In studies particularly important to women, cranberries have recently been discovered to be an important weapon in the fight against deadly ovarian cancer. Studies reported at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society found that ovarian cancer cells that were becoming resistant to platinum chemotherapy—the standard of care for ovarian cancer—became six times more sensitive when exposed to a compound in cranberries.

The anti-cancer properties of all these berries are so strong that researchers have developing concentrated supplements and other products such as purees and concentrates.

The Science of Smart Energy

Backed by nutritional science and formulated by Unicity International, a leading nutraceutical company that develops world-class products to improve lives. Carefully selected ingredients are best-in-class for supplying energy, anti-oxidants, electrolytes, fat-burning thermogenesis, and mental clarity.

Our matcha tea is green tea, magnified!

Our premier matcha tea has a powerful calming, peaceful effect—producing a relaxed, focused energy. You’ll experience an increase of alpha waves in your brain, which are responsible for the deep, peaceful, calm feeling that you get from meditation, yoga, and deep relaxation. Just think of Bios Life E as Zen in an energy drink. Our matcha is green superfood with 20 times more antioxidant capacity than açai berries, 70 times as much as orange juice, and nine times the beta-carotene of spinach. Our proprietary matcha tea blend is the foundation of Bios Life E.

L-Theanine
L-Theanine increases mental awareness, helps in relaxation without causing sleepiness, reduces stress and anxiety, improves cognition, and concentration. It improves the ability to learn, memorize, and increases cerebral levels of dopamine, commonly known as the neurotransmitter of pleasure.

Choline
Choline is beneficial for mood, mental acuity, heart health, helps to improve academic productivity, and energy levels. Choline activates the production of critical components in cell membranes, enhances cerebral energy metabolism, and increases levels of various neurotransmitters.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all energy drink—because some days you need to boost physical performance and other days you need to boost mental clarity and focus. Bios Life E has the formulations to meet all of today’s energy challenges.

Bios Life E contains carefully selected all-natural ingredients that are best-in-class for supplying energy, anti-oxidants, electrolytes, fat-burning thermogenesis, and mental clarity. Bios Life E is real power for real life.

Matcha Tea
Our proprietary matcha tea formula is the foundation of Bios Life E—and one of nature’s paradoxes—it boosts energy and at the same time has a powerful calming, peaceful effect. It’s Zen in an energy drink.  Matcha cleanses the body of toxins.  Rich in Chlorophyll, Chlorophyll is renowned as a detoxifying agent.

Chlorophyll, the pigment which gives leaves their green color, helps to remove heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body. Because matcha powdered tea is fully ingested when consumed, unlike tea leaves which are infused then discarded, and because matcha is shade grown, a process which increases the chlorophyll content in the leaves, matcha tea is a chlorophyll rich food.

L-Theanine
Increases mental awareness,  helps in relaxation without sleepiness by producing alpha waves, reduces mental and physical stress and anxiety, improves cognition, and concentration, boosts T-cell response, improves immune response up to 5x higer than individuals who do not consume L-Theanine.  The production of GABA and tryptophan are stimulated within 20 minutes:

1.       Functions as a neuro-transmitter

2.       Calms the body

3.       Increases mental alertness

4.       Beneficial for people with hypertension

5.       Found and needed for healthy brain in every region

Choline
Choline is grouped with the Vitamin Bs.  In 1998 it was classified as essential for the body.  Beneficial for enhancing mood, mental acuity, heart health, academic productivity, and energy levels.

.         Benefits neuro-transmission

·         Aids in tissue repair

·         Aids the immune system

·         Essential for structural integrity for cell membranes

·         Essential for signalling roles for cell membranes….this is a complex system of communication that governs basic cellular activities and co-ordinates cell action

·         Known as a smart nutrient improving cognition and may improve IQ

·         May improve memory

·         Building block for neuro-transmitters

Catechins
The concentration of catechins available in Bios Life E is 137 times greater than the amount of catechins available in regular green tea.

·         Contains MAOIs (monamine oxidase inhibitors)

1.       Mood elevator……anti-depressant activity

·         Helps reduce body fat and can positively help reduce LDL

1.       NOTE: Double Blind study in Japan showed at 690 mg per day reduced body fat and lowered LDL

·         Reduction in atherosclerotic plaques

·         According to Norman Hollenberg, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, epicatechin can reduce the risk of four of the major health problems: stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabetes.

·         Helps protect the skin from UV radiation-induced damage and tumor formation.

·         Green tea catechins have also been shown to possess antibiotic properties due to their role in disrupting a specific stage of the bacterial DNA replication process.

·         Catechins, when combined with habitual exercise, have been shown to delay some forms of aging

·         A recent study has shown that daily catechin intake (588mg of catechin for 12 weeks) can reduce weight, especially body fat. With the daily intake of catechin, we can increase fat consumption in the liver. This leads to the decrease in body fat.

·         The moment you put catechin into your mouth, it starts to work. Because of its sterilizing effect, it prevents viral infections, like the flu. In addition to that, it fights bacteria in the stomach to protect you from food poisoning. Amazingly, catechin manages to fight deadly bacteria and inhibits the growth of putrefactive bacteria without harming the friendly bacteria. This actually leads to the stimulation of the immune system in the body.

·         Reduces stress damage to the cardio-vascular system

Resverastrol

·         Anti-aging

·         Improves cardiovascular health

·         Aids in recovery from exertion

·         Lowers LDL

·         Good for skin

·         Protects body from stress

·         Improves immune health

·         Improves metabolic rate

·         Lowers blood sugar levels

Inulin

·         As a prebiotic, Inulin fiber stimulates the growth of friendly and healthy intestinal bacteria which supports good colon health. Since it also has a very low glycemic index, it is suitable for many people who are on restricted diets.

·         In spite of being considered a soluble fiber (breaks down in water), inulin resists breakdown in the stomach and the small intestine, and is not digested, which means inulin has virtually no caloric effects.

·         Inulin will not raise blood sugar levels and for this reason is completely safe and encouraged for diabetics

·         Inulin has also been shown to promote calcium absorption, which can prevent osteoporosis

·         Inulin is a great prebiotic and it survives the harsh acids encountered in the stomach and small intestine, making it available for consumption further down the line where probiotics await them.

Blueberries

·         Blueberries actually have the highest antioxidant capacity because of their large anthocyanin concentration.

·         proved to preserve vision

·         Blueberries contain a huge list of phytochemicals – phenolic acid, anthocyanins (the pigment that makes them blue), ellagic acid (which may inhibit tumor growth), alpha-carontene, beta-carotene (precursors to vitamin A), caryophyllene (possible anti-inflammatory), chlorogenic acid, eugenol, limonene, thymol (antiseptic and antifungal properties), catechins, tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E family), to name a few. Talk about your nutrient powerhouses!

Pomegranate

·         Rich in anti-oxidants

·         Reduces risk factors for cardiovascular disease and coronary artery disease (June 2005)

·         Anti-viral properties

·         Anti –bacterial properties

·         Currently undergoing 17 clinical trials

Vitamin Bs

·         B vitamins are part of a large family of related vitamins, some of them have names, and most are numbered. When found in one supplement they are usually called B-complex. B vitamins are important not only for our physical health but contribute to our mental health as well. The vitamins work best as a team. You will notice that we have a healthy dose of Vitamin Bs in both of our Smart Energy drinks

Five ways Bios Life E solves your energy crisis…

Boosts Energy
Experience a reliable, sustained increase in energy that lasts for three to four hours. Bios Life E provides the energy that your body and brains need to continue functioning at peak levels.

Amplifies mental clarity
The matcha in Bios Life E offers something more than just raw energy. There’s a very unique amino acid, found only in green teas, called L-theanine. This amino acid is found in particularly high amounts in matcha, and has a powerful calming, peaceful effect—we experience a “relaxed energy.” After all, wake up your brain and your body will follow. Now, that’s smart energy!

Supplies antioxidants
Notice that when you’re tired and stressed is the time that you usually get sick? That’s exactly when you need reinforcements to boost your immune system—and Bios Life E gives you a double dose of super-antioxidant reinforcements.

Restores electrolytes
Being tired and wearing ourselves out leads to an electrolyte imbalance. When our electrolytes are imbalanced, we don’t function at peak levels. Bios Life E contains just the right combination of potassium, magnesium, and sodium to keep us balanced and feeling good.

Increases metabolism
Bios Life E helps to burn fat by helping the body burn more calories during day-to-day life. Bios Life E also gives us the energy we need to get back on our exercise routines, to eat right, and resist the fattening snacks.
