8 Bodybuilding Supplements that Allegedly Contain Steroids

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

This just in: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), on Tuesday warned the public not to use bodybuilding supplements advertised as steroids, or claiming to contain steroids or steroid-like substances.

The CNN article is here: FDA warns against body-building products claiming steroids

Thanks for the warning FDA, but please stop telling me what supplements to buy or not to buy.

The FDA recently sent a letter to American Cellular Laboratories Inc., alleging that some of the supplement manufacturer’s products, which are sold as dietary supplements, violate the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act because they do not meet the FDA’s definition of a dietary supplement.

To be considered a dietary supplement, a product has to contain one or more dietary ingredients, such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, or amino acids, which some of American Cellular Laboratories products do not.

In fact, the FDA alleges that many of the products are sold as dietary supplements, but are actually unapproved and misbranded drugs. Let’s see which products are targeted by the probe.

How to Manipulate Insulin for Fat Loss & Muscle Gain

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Insulin can be a touchy subject when it comes to fat loss, muscle growth, and weight training. It is extremely important that we understand the role of insulin in the body and how the foods we eat affect our health and physiques.

What is Insulin?

First, we must define what insulin is:

Insulin in a peptide hormone composed of 51 amino acid residues, which is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas and released when any of the several stimuli is detected. These stimuli include ingested protein and glucose in the blood, produced from digested food. Insulin has expansive effects on metabolism and other bodily systems.

Fat Loss

What Insulin Does in the Body

Let us look at what insulin does when it is present in the body.

When present, insulin causes the uptake of blood sugar (glucose) by the vast majority of bodily cells. These cells include muscle, fatty tissue, and liver cells.

Insulin is primarily responsible for storing glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles. When insulin is at high concentrations in the body, it prevents the use of fat as an energy source.

Swole in Two Months

Monday, June 8th, 2009

If you are someone who trains for a month then takes a week off because life gets busy, you are just like me.

If you are someone who normally trains 4 days a week and then can only get in the gym once in a 9 day stretch because life gets busy, you are just like me.

And like you, I put together than occasional plan to commit for a solid 3 months, eat right, train 4-5 times a week, and make some real progress.

We are not lazy, we just get busy or have to deal with family situations. Right?

Excuses, excuses…

StayActiv – A Healthy Pain Relief Alternative to NSAIDs

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

A New Scientific Approach to Combating Inflammation and Acute or Chronic Pain

Millions of Americans suffer from pain every day, and one of the more common reasons is due to the affects of joint and tissue inflammation.

Muscle Pain
Muscle Pain

For years people have turned to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for relief. Of course Project Swole readers already know that NSAIDs Are Pain, Brain, and Muscle Growth Killers.

The good news is that there is a new hypothesis to consider on how to combat the pain and discomforts associated with inflammation.

By attacking the inflammatory cascade at the start (in the mitochondria) as opposed to inhibiting the COX pathways (as is the mode of action of many NSAIDs), a safe, non-toxic, and natural pain reliever called StayActiv is able to prevent the cascade of cellular inflammatory events up front, and it also avoids the many negative and dangerous kidney, liver, and gastro-intestinal side effects related to NSAIDs.

Introducing Acai Nutraburst with Acai, Resveratrol, Green Tea, and Hoodia!

Thursday, May 14th, 2009


Note: Acai Nutraburst is a shady company that Project Swole is no longer promoting. Acai Berry is a clone of Acai Nutraburst and provides an identical product.

The Project Swole Three Step Full Body Detox Plan is the most effective detox and weight loss plan ever. Combine the supplement plan with a full body fat loss exercise routine for record breaking fat loss results!

Step #1 Acai Berry Detox Get a Free Trial or Buy a Full Supply
Step #2 Colon Cleanse Get a Free Trial or Buy a Full Supply
Step #3 Fat Loss Routine full body fat loss for men or full body fat loss for women

I am always talking about antioxidant benefits, and now four of the healthiest most concentrated antioxidant foods, plus hoodia, are now available in one product.

Get Acai Berry

That’s right, I found a supplement called Acai Berry that contains acai, resveratrol, and green tea. Not only that, but Acai Berry also contains hoodia for increased fat loss, and another lesser known antioxidant called quercetin, which also acts as an anti-inflammatory and antihistamine.

I could write about and promote individual products for acai, resveratrol, green tea, and hoodia, but instead I want to share with you this one-of-a-kind supplement that contains everything you could possibly need. The manufacturers of Acai Berry contacted me specifically with this unique product offer, and so I am passing it on to you.

Hydroxycut kills.

No, I’m not talking about the ephedra laced Hydroxycut that actually works, I’m talking about the ephedra-free Hydroxycut products that are supposed to be safe. Yeah, not so safe.

Hydroxycut

Hydroxycut products are marketed as inexpensive, energy-enhancing fat-burners. They do work to some extent. Hydroxycut will definitely increase your energy, but at what cost to your body?

What is Swine Flu? and 29 Other Swine Flu FAQs

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Cute Pig
Could this piggy kill you?

The current Swine Flu fears are both justified and overrated.

The fears are justified because of the 7-8% death rate in Mexico of a contagious disease, for which we currently have no direct vaccine.

The fears are overrated because that death rate seems only to apply to Mexico, and the virus itself does not seem to be replicating uncontrollably throughout the world.

Currently the status of the disease warrants Mexican quarantine, worldwide concern, but not yet worldwide panic.

Hopefully this document will allay some of your fears and answer some of your questions about Swine Flu.

The Resveratrol Diet

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009
Resveratrol

Recent studies say that resveratrol may counter diabetes and insulin resistance, two well-known culprits of obesity.

Some studies have recently reported that the supplement resveratrol, most commonly found in red grapes and wine, aids in preventing and treating obesity. In fact, consuming a full wine bottle’s worth of resveratrol reportedly has the same effect as being on a reduced calorie diet. Of course the calories in wine offset that particular effect. =)

Let’s examine how and why we can use resveratrol to help us lose weight.
