Grain-sourced carbohydrates, not fillers and high glycemic carbohydrates. Rich protein sources from high quality whey and casein, not bottom-of-the-barrel powders. Premium flavors, digestive enzymes, and vitamins and minerals from real whole foods, not whatever else was lying around. Everything your body needs in an instantized, easy-mixing, convenient, and delicious blend.<\/p> Carbohydrate Blend:<\/p> Before we dive in to understand the complexity of Core MRP, lets back up and first understand exactly what’s occurring when we consume carbohydrates on a daily basis – and in particular, when we consume around our workouts (peri-workout nutrition).<\/p> The consumption of carbohydrates, by its nature, results in an increase in the concentration of plasma glucose (or blood sugar) – and, in turn, insulin is released from the pancreas as a result. Insulin then initiates a number of signal transduction pathways related to both protein and glucose metabolism, with the upshot being increased glycolysis (breakdown of glucose to ATP), glucose oxidation in response to greater glucose availability in the cell, and glycogen synthesis (the stuff that essentially makes muscles, \"pop”). In other words, an entire host of both necessary and amazing things!<\/p> With that said, insulin does induce some negative effects, as well. This powerful hormone is responsible for a range of lipogenic (fat-creating) effects, including both adipocyte differentiation (turning what are known as pre-adipocytes into mature adipocytes, or fat cells), and proliferation (the expansion of cells). Insulin controls these processes by tightly regulating numerous signal transduction pathways, and is in fact one of the key hormones responsible for controlling how adipocytes function.<\/p> So, you have a hormone that, on the one hand, does a range of absolutely crucial things related to muscle and muscle cell metabolism, and on the other, does similarly crucial things related to fat and fat cell metabolism. How do we separate the good from the bad, then?<\/p> The easiest, most reliable way to ensure that these processes continue to work in favor of your body composition goals, is to very carefully and strategically select your carbohydrates sources. For us at Core, and specifically for Core MRP, this means choosing only low glycemic carbohydrates for inclusion in our everyday meal supplement.<\/p> Whole Grain Oats:<\/p> Low-glycemic carbohydrates are ones that elicit a smaller, \"glycemic” or glucose-releasing response in the body; meaning they also induce less of an insulinemic response, as well. The result is that low glycemic carbohydrates, as research indicates, not only cause enhanced fat oxidation (the literal burning of fat) when compared to high GI carbs, but also spare muscle glycogen. This result is the best of both worlds: your metabolic engine stays engaged, and the substance that gives your muscles their fullness, glycogen, is spared.<\/p> It is for the reasons above that high-quality, low-glycemic carbohydrates are such a crucial component to an excellent meal supplement. Unfortunately, that is simply not the industry trend: even a cursory glance at most, \"meal replacements” reveals a litany of high-glycemic, insulin-inducing carbohydrates that, while they have their place, are completely inappropriate to include in an all-day, everyday meal replacement.<\/p> Core MRP is not like the rest. We are setting a new standard with the product that started it all. We have chosen only high-quality whole grain oat flour to include as your carbohydrate source. Oats offer a wide variety of benefits aside from just providing carbohydrates for the body. Some of these include:<\/p> Oats contain considerable amounts of valuable nutrients such as proteins, starch, unsaturated fatty acids and dietary fiber as soluble and insoluble fractions. Protein Blend:<\/p> If you have been following us for quite some time, we likely don’t need to explain just how and why adequate protein intake is fundamental to achieving your goals. With that said, there may be some confusion as to what specific kinds of protein are going to benefit your goals and why.<\/p> Like we did with carbohydrates above, let’s look into the specifics a little bit rather than just supplying a generic answer. We are anything but generic after all! The word \"protein,” without any qualification, is perhaps the broadest term you can possibly use when speaking about biology – to the point where asking, \"How much protein should I consume, and which kind?” renders itself useless. Considering proteins are more or less complex compositions of amino acids, and considering that amino acids have different functions, what we want to ask is something more specific like, \"Which kinds of protein have the amino acid composition best suited to my goals, and when should I consume them?” A mouthful, but you get the point!<\/p> So, what does a, \"good” amino acid composition for a protein supplement look like? Well, while biologists would never use the term, \"good”, they describe more robust proteins – one with amino acid profiles that can best facilitate tissue growth – as, \"complete proteins.” These proteins contain high amounts of essential amino acids, are rapidly digestible, and support the available amino acid profile over a long period of time.<\/p> Simply put, and if we use the definition above, Core MRP has one of the most complete amino acid profiles available in any supplement. We have a included a blend of the most bioavailable and high quality proteins to create a blend specifically catered to fuel your body’s need throughout an entire day, not to mention we have full transparency on our label too, so you know exactly how much of each protein you are getting.<\/p> Cold-processed undenatured whey protein concentrate: Whey protein concentrate is probably the most common form of whey protein you will find. However, how it is processed is where the benefit truly lies. This process of cold processed undenaturization preserves the molecular structure of the amino acid particles as well as the immune boosting benefits that it contains. This undenatured protein is also a rich source of amino acids, including those needed for the synthesis of glutathione, which is an important antioxidant that can be depleted by stress (exercise stress included). This makes it a great foundation for your post workout recovery nutrition.<\/p> Cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate: whey protein isolate is an extremely \"clean” form of whey protein. It yields a higher amount of amino acids, half of which are from the essential amino acids (cannot be made by the body). Microfiltration eliminates a large majority of the fat and lactose from the whey, which makes it easily digestible and quickly absorbed into the body. This cross-flow process uses a highly intricate method to isolate the protein. It is not subjected to chemicals and is thus left in its most natural state.<\/p> Milk Protein Isolate: milk protein isolate is obtained through the partial removal of non-protein materials from skim milk (lactose and other minerals). What you are left with is a dry product that contains more than 90% protein by weight. This product contains both casein and whey proteins in their original proportions found in milk, without combining separately produced casein and whey proteins. It contains very little fat and lactose and also has a very high amino acid composition making it a perfect addition to this blend.<\/p> To both immediately increase the amino acid pool, and fuel your bodily processes (like protein synthesis) throughout the day, we’ve strategically included such a robust, multi-purpose blend using multiple forms of synergistic proteins that truly complement each other to positively impact your health and fitness.<\/p> The point of an excellent meal supplement is to cover all your bases, so you don’t have to. Core MRP in MJ with the ball with 5 seconds on the clock and The Bulls down by 1. Our multi-stage protein blend is ready to give you everything you need to maximize recovery, increase protein synthesis, and improve your health when you need it most. If your body needs it, Core MRP has it.<\/p> Whole Food Based Vitamins and Minerals:<\/p> There are a lot of great things about Core MRP already, but what really makes it stand out from other meal supplements on the market is the complete and well-roundedness of this product. Our sources of carbohydrates are more superior, our blend of protein is unmatched, and last but not least, our completely whole food-based blend of micronutrients is second to none.<\/p> Listing each of our micronutrients in succession, along with all the benefits they pose to the human body, would require us to write a book – literally. We have included everything from A to Zinc in dosages needed that will truly make a difference. We have also added a specific and blend of key foods, like broccoli, kale, sweet potato, chlorella, and shiitake mushroom to name a few.

This makes it a great foundation for your post workout recovery nutrition.<\/p> Cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate: whey protein isolate is an extremely \"clean” form of whey protein. It yields a higher amount of amino acids, half of which are from the essential amino acids (cannot be made by the body). Microfiltration eliminates a large majority of the fat and lactose from the whey, which makes it easily digestible and quickly absorbed into the body. This cross-flow process uses a highly intricate method to isolate the protein. It is not subjected to chemicals and is thus left in its most natural state.<\/p> Milk Protein Isolate: milk protein isolate is obtained through the partial removal of non-protein materials from skim milk (lactose and other minerals). What you are left with is a dry product that contains more than 90% protein by weight. This product contains both casein and whey proteins in their original proportions found in milk, without combining separately produced casein and whey proteins. It contains very little fat and lactose and also has a very high amino acid composition making it a perfect addition to this blend.<\/p> To both immediately increase the amino acid pool, and fuel your bodily processes (like protein synthesis) throughout the day, we’ve strategically included such a robust, multi-purpose blend using multiple forms of synergistic proteins that truly complement each other to positively impact your health and fitness.<\/p> The point of an excellent meal supplement is to cover all your bases, so you don’t have to. Core MRP in MJ with the ball with 5 seconds on the clock and The Bulls down by 1. Our multi-stage protein blend is ready to give you everything you need to maximize recovery, increase protein synthesis, and improve your health when you need it most. If your body needs it, Core MRP has it.<\/p> Whole Food Based Vitamins and Minerals:<\/p> There are a lot of great things about Core MRP already, but what really makes it stand out from other meal supplements on the market is the complete and well-roundedness of this product. Our sources of carbohydrates are more superior, our blend of protein is unmatched, and last but not least, our completely whole food-based blend of micronutrients is second to none.<\/p> Listing each of our micronutrients in succession, along with all the benefits they pose to the human body, would require us to write a book – literally. We have included everything from A to Zinc in dosages needed that will truly make a difference. We have also added a specific and blend of key foods, like broccoli, kale, sweet potato, chlorella, and shiitake mushroom to name a few. This is the most complete meal supplement on the market.<\/p> Full Spectrum Meal Replacement Core MRP is a better solution - a true meal supplement, not a meal imposter. Grain-sourced carbohydrates, not fillers and high glycemic carbohydrates. Rich protein sources from high quality whey and casein, not bottom-of-the-barrel powders. Premium flavors, digestive enzymes, and vitamins and minerals from real whole foods, not whatever else was lying around. Everything your body needs in an instantized, easy-mixing, convenient, and delicious blend.<\/p> Carbohydrate Blend:<\/p> Before we dive in to understand the complexity of Core MRP, lets back up and first understand exactly what’s occurring when we consume carbohydrates on a daily basis – and in particular, when we consume around our workouts (peri-workout nutrition).<\/p> The consumption of carbohydrates, by its nature, results in an increase in the concentration of plasma glucose (or blood sugar) – and, in turn, insulin is released from the pancreas as a result. Insulin then initiates a number of signal transduction pathways related to both protein and glucose metabolism, with the upshot being increased glycolysis (breakdown of glucose to ATP), glucose oxidation in response to greater glucose availability in the cell, and glycogen synthesis (the stuff that essentially makes muscles, \"pop”). In other words, an entire host of both necessary and amazing things!<\/p> With that said, insulin does induce some negative effects, as well. This powerful hormone is responsible for a range of lipogenic (fat-creating) effects, including both adipocyte differentiation (turning what are known as pre-adipocytes into mature adipocytes, or fat cells), and proliferation (the expansion of cells). Insulin controls these processes by tightly regulating numerous signal transduction pathways, and is in fact one of the key hormones responsible for controlling how adipocytes function.<\/p> So, you have a hormone that, on the one hand, does a range of absolutely crucial things related to muscle and muscle cell metabolism, and on the other, does similarly crucial things related to fat and fat cell metabolism. How do we separate the good from the bad, then?<\/p> The easiest, most reliable way to ensure that these processes continue to work in favor of your body composition goals, is to very carefully and strategically select your carbohydrates sources. For us at Core, and specifically for Core MRP, this means choosing only low glycemic carbohydrates for inclusion in our everyday meal supplement.<\/p> Whole Grain Oats:<\/p> Low-glycemic carbohydrates are ones that elicit a smaller, \"glycemic” or glucose-releasing response in the body; meaning they also induce less of an insulinemic response, as well. The result is that low glycemic carbohydrates, as research indicates, not only cause enhanced fat oxidation (the literal burning of fat) when compared to high GI carbs, but also spare muscle glycogen. This result is the best of both worlds: your metabolic engine stays engaged, and the substance that gives your muscles their fullness, glycogen, is spared.<\/p> It is for the reasons above that high-quality, low-glycemic carbohydrates are such a crucial component to an excellent meal supplement. Unfortunately, that is simply not the industry trend: even a cursory glance at most, \"meal replacements” reveals a litany of high-glycemic, insulin-inducing carbohydrates that, while they have their place, are completely inappropriate to include in an all-day, everyday meal replacement.<\/p> Core MRP is not like the rest. We are setting a new standard with the product that started it all. We have chosen only high-quality whole grain oat flour to include as your carbohydrate source. Oats offer a wide variety of benefits aside from just providing carbohydrates for the body. Some of these include:<\/p> Oats contain considerable amounts of valuable nutrients such as proteins, starch, unsaturated fatty acids and dietary fiber as soluble and insoluble fractions. Protein Blend:<\/p> If you have been following us for quite some time, we likely don’t need to explain just how and why adequate protein intake is fundamental to achieving your goals. With that said, there may be some confusion as to what specific kinds of protein are going to benefit your goals and why.<\/p> Like we did with carbohydrates above, let’s look into the specifics a little bit rather than just supplying a generic answer. We are anything but generic after all! The word \"protein,” without any qualification, is perhaps the broadest term you can possibly use when speaking about biology – to the point where asking, \"How much protein should I consume, and which kind?” renders itself useless. Considering proteins are more or less complex compositions of amino acids, and considering that amino acids have different functions, what we want to ask is something more specific like, \"Which kinds of protein have the amino acid composition best suited to my goals, and when should I consume them?” A mouthful, but you get the point!<\/p> So, what does a, \"good” amino acid composition for a protein supplement look like? Well, while biologists would never use the term, \"good”, they describe more robust proteins – one with amino acid profiles that can best facilitate tissue growth – as, \"complete proteins.” These proteins contain high amounts of essential amino acids, are rapidly digestible, and support the available amino acid profile over a long period of time.<\/p> Simply put, and if we use the definition above, Core MRP has one of the most complete amino acid profiles available in any supplement. We have a included a blend of the most bioavailable and high quality proteins to create a blend specifically catered to fuel your body’s need throughout an entire day, not to mention we have full transparency on our label too, so you know exactly how much of each protein you are getting.<\/p> Cold-processed undenatured whey protein concentrate: Whey protein concentrate is probably the most common form of whey protein you will find. However, how it is processed is where the benefit truly lies.

If your body needs it, Core MRP has it.<\/p> Whole Food Based Vitamins and Minerals:<\/p> There are a lot of great things about Core MRP already, but what really makes it stand out from other meal supplements on the market is the complete and well-roundedness of this product. Our sources of carbohydrates are more superior, our blend of protein is unmatched, and last but not least, our completely whole food-based blend of micronutrients is second to none.<\/p> Listing each of our micronutrients in succession, along with all the benefits they pose to the human body, would require us to write a book – literally. We have included everything from A to Zinc in dosages needed that will truly make a difference. We have also added a specific and blend of key foods, like broccoli, kale, sweet potato, chlorella, and shiitake mushroom to name a few. This is the most complete meal supplement on the market.<\/p> Full Spectrum Meal Replacement Core MRP is a better solution - a true meal supplement, not a meal imposter. Grain-sourced carbohydrates, not fillers and high glycemic carbohydrates. Rich protein sources from high quality whey and casein, not bottom-of-the-barrel powders. Premium flavors, digestive enzymes, and vitamins and minerals from real whole foods, not whatever else was lying around. Everything your body needs in an instantized, easy-mixing, convenient, and delicious blend.<\/p> Carbohydrate Blend:<\/p> Before we dive in to understand the complexity of Core MRP, lets back up and first understand exactly what’s occurring when we consume carbohydrates on a daily basis – and in particular, when we consume around our workouts (peri-workout nutrition).<\/p> The consumption of carbohydrates, by its nature, results in an increase in the concentration of plasma glucose (or blood sugar) – and, in turn, insulin is released from the pancreas as a result. Insulin then initiates a number of signal transduction pathways related to both protein and glucose metabolism, with the upshot being increased glycolysis (breakdown of glucose to ATP), glucose oxidation in response to greater glucose availability in the cell, and glycogen synthesis (the stuff that essentially makes muscles, \"pop”). In other words, an entire host of both necessary and amazing things!<\/p> With that said, insulin does induce some negative effects, as well. This powerful hormone is responsible for a range of lipogenic (fat-creating) effects, including both adipocyte differentiation (turning what are known as pre-adipocytes into mature adipocytes, or fat cells), and proliferation (the expansion of cells). Insulin controls these processes by tightly regulating numerous signal transduction pathways, and is in fact one of the key hormones responsible for controlling how adipocytes function.<\/p> So, you have a hormone that, on the one hand, does a range of absolutely crucial things related to muscle and muscle cell metabolism, and on the other, does similarly crucial things related to fat and fat cell metabolism. How do we separate the good from the bad, then?<\/p> The easiest, most reliable way to ensure that these processes continue to work in favor of your body composition goals, is to very carefully and strategically select your carbohydrates sources. For us at Core, and specifically for Core MRP, this means choosing only low glycemic carbohydrates for inclusion in our everyday meal supplement.<\/p> Whole Grain Oats:<\/p> Low-glycemic carbohydrates are ones that elicit a smaller, \"glycemic” or glucose-releasing response in the body; meaning they also induce less of an insulinemic response, as well. The result is that low glycemic carbohydrates, as research indicates, not only cause enhanced fat oxidation (the literal burning of fat) when compared to high GI carbs, but also spare muscle glycogen. This result is the best of both worlds: your metabolic engine stays engaged, and the substance that gives your muscles their fullness, glycogen, is spared.<\/p> It is for the reasons above that high-quality, low-glycemic carbohydrates are such a crucial component to an excellent meal supplement. Unfortunately, that is simply not the industry trend: even a cursory glance at most, \"meal replacements” reveals a litany of high-glycemic, insulin-inducing carbohydrates that, while they have their place, are completely inappropriate to include in an all-day, everyday meal replacement.<\/p> Core MRP is not like the rest. We are setting a new standard with the product that started it all. We have chosen only high-quality whole grain oat flour to include as your carbohydrate source. Oats offer a wide variety of benefits aside from just providing carbohydrates for the body. Some of these include:<\/p> Oats contain considerable amounts of valuable nutrients such as proteins, starch, unsaturated fatty acids and dietary fiber as soluble and insoluble fractions. Protein Blend:<\/p> If you have been following us for quite some time, we likely don’t need to explain just how and why adequate protein intake is fundamental to achieving your goals. With that said, there may be some confusion as to what specific kinds of protein are going to benefit your goals and why.<\/p> Like we did with carbohydrates above, let’s look into the specifics a little bit rather than just supplying a generic answer. We are anything but generic after all! The word \"protein,” without any qualification, is perhaps the broadest term you can possibly use when speaking about biology – to the point where asking, \"How much protein should I consume, and which kind?” renders itself useless. Considering proteins are more or less complex compositions of amino acids, and considering that amino acids have different functions, what we want to ask is something more specific like, \"Which kinds of protein have the amino acid composition best suited to my goals, and when should I consume them?” A mouthful, but you get the point!<\/p> So, what does a, \"good” amino acid composition for a protein supplement look like? Well, while biologists would never use the term, \"good”, they describe more robust proteins – one with amino acid profiles that can best facilitate tissue growth – as, \"complete proteins.” These proteins contain high amounts of essential amino acids, are rapidly digestible, and support the available amino acid profile over a long period of time.<\/p> Simply put, and if we use the definition above, Core MRP has one of the most complete amino acid profiles available in any supplement. We have a included a blend of the most bioavailable and high quality proteins to create a blend specifically catered to fuel your body’s need throughout an entire day, not to mention we have full transparency on our label too, so you know exactly how much of each protein you are getting.<\/p> Cold-processed undenatured whey protein concentrate: Whey protein concentrate is probably the most common form of whey protein you will find. However, how it is processed is where the benefit truly lies. This process of cold processed undenaturization preserves the molecular structure of the amino acid particles as well as the immune boosting benefits that it contains. This undenatured protein is also a rich source of amino acids, including those needed for the synthesis of glutathione, which is an important antioxidant that can be depleted by stress (exercise stress included). This makes it a great foundation for your post workout recovery nutrition.<\/p> Cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate: whey protein isolate is an extremely \"clean” form of whey protein. It yields a higher amount of amino acids, half of which are from the essential amino acids (cannot be made by the body). Microfiltration eliminates a large majority of the fat and lactose from the whey, which makes it easily digestible and quickly absorbed into the body. This cross-flow process uses a highly intricate method to isolate the protein. It is not subjected to chemicals and is thus left in its most natural state.<\/p> Milk Protein Isolate: milk protein isolate is obtained through the partial removal of non-protein materials from skim milk (lactose and other minerals). What you are left with is a dry product that contains more than 90% protein by weight. This product contains both casein and whey proteins in their original proportions found in milk, without combining separately produced casein and whey proteins. It contains very little fat and lactose and also has a very high amino acid composition making it a perfect addition to this blend.<\/p> To both immediately increase the amino acid pool, and fuel your bodily processes (like protein synthesis) throughout the day, we’ve strategically included such a robust, multi-purpose blend using multiple forms of synergistic proteins that truly complement each other to positively impact your health and fitness.<\/p> The point of an excellent meal supplement is to cover all your bases, so you don’t have to.

This is the most complete meal supplement on the market.<\/p> Core MULTI<\/p> Full Spectrum Multivitamin and Mineral<\/p> Vegetable Caps Nailing a completely balanced diet every day, one that contains the full spectrum of essential and non-essential vitamins and minerals alike, would be amazing. It would be even better if everyone did that. In that case, the often-quoted but little understood claim of many \"gurus” that a vitamin supplement is unnecessary would be correct.<\/p> But that’s not the case, not at all. In fact, research shows that most people – yes, even you, the fit person reading this – do not eat a balanced diet. Many people lack critical nutrients from their diet, either by absence (not eating them at all) or by over- or under-consuming other trace minerals or vitamins necessary for the original vitamin’s homeostasis. The result, in either case, is a vitamin and mineral environment that could and can be optimized.<\/p> For that reason, we’ve formulated Core MULTI. Like the typical diet, when we looked around the industry at existing multi-vitamin offerings, we found critical defects: too much of this, too little of that, and so on. So, we set out to alter that arrangement and formulate a multi with ingredients included in specific proportions to maximize synergy and minimize redundancy.<\/p> The result is a formula not only with 100% (and often more) of almost all your essential vitamins and minerals, but also a broad-spectrum antioxidant blend antioxidant blend (Spectra™), berberine HCL, and numerous trademarked forms of vitamins and minerals. If you need a broad range of essential vitamins and minerals in sufficient amounts and in the most efficient forms, then Core MULTI is for you.<\/p> B vitamins are a group of eight essential vitamins with several critical functions in the body. Though both molecularly and physiologically distinct, they are also deeply interrelated in their effects, synthesis and metabolism. Among the B-complex’s many critical roles are energy (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) metabolism, supporting and maintaining the healthy function of the adrenal glands, skeletal muscle function, and digestion.<\/p> While rates of metabolism and clearance differ between each B vitamin, all B vitamins are water-soluble and are thus not stored in fat. As a result, the body simply excretes excess B vitamins in the urine and requires replenishment (from food or supplements) in order to maintain the cell functions to which B vitamins contribute.<\/p> Vitamin A (as Beta Carotene)<\/p> Beta carotene is itself not an essential vitamin but is rather the precursor to the fat-soluble and essential vitamin, vitamin A (Retinol). Like B vitamins, the term vitamin A refers to the compound class retinoids, comprised of retinol, retinal (also called retinaldehyde), retinoic acid, and provitamin A compounds such as beta carotene.<\/p> As their names suggest, retinoids are critical to the function of human eyes and therefore to the maintenance of circadian rhythms (our \"biological clock”). Vitamin A combines with proteins in the eye to form light-sensing cells that both facilitate vision and regulate our sleep-wake cycles.<\/p> Beyond its role in sight, vitamin A is also essential for cellular growth and differentiation and the immune system.<\/p> Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid)<\/p> Vitamin C is perhaps historically best-known for the treatment and prevention of scurvy, though it has many other roles in the body. For example, vitamin C catalyzes or is a cofactor in eight enzymatic reactions involved in the synthesis of collagen, the nutrient carnitine, and several neurotransmitters necessary for the proper function of the brain.<\/p> In the contemporary context, vitamin C is best known as a potent antioxidant. In addition to its intrinsic activity as an antioxidant, vitamin C has been shown in in vitro trials to regenerate alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E). As an antioxidant, vitamin C combats the detrimental effects of a group of compounds called radical oxygen species that, when produced, degrade the lipid membrane of the cell and may cause internal damage. By \"scavenging” these free radicals, vitamin C and other antioxidants form a defense against excess cellular damage.<\/p> Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol)<\/p> Vitamin D, in its various forms, is not an essential nutrient – as it is produced endogenously within the body, as a reaction to the skin’s exposure to the sun – and thus not commonly considered a vitamin. Despite its technical classification, vitamin D (a hormone), is nevertheless an import and biologically-active compound, necessary for the calcium homeostasis and metabolism, along with increasing the absorption of magnesium and phosphate.<\/p> Vitamin E (as Mixed Tocopherols)<\/p> Vitamin E is another technical misnomer, as the term refers to a group of compounds known as tocopherols with eight biologically-active constituents: alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol. Alpha-tocopherol is the principal bioactive in humans, though the presence of other tocopherols has been linked to beneficial effects. <\/p> As a result of its robust antioxidant activity, vitamin E assists in the maintenance and support of several physiological processes, though most notably sight and the immune system. Emerging research also suggests that the alpha-tocopherol form of vitamin E inhibits an enzyme known as protein kinase C, and therefore contributes to the healthy regulation of smooth muscle cell growth and differentiation.<\/p> Critically, we have used the natural version of vitamin E (technically d-alpha tocopherol) and not the synthetic (dl-alpha tocopherol). The difference is a meaningful one: the single isomer of d-alpha tocopherol is easier and more efficiently absorbed and used in the body as compared to the eight isomers in the dl analog.<\/p> Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate)<\/p> While best-known as the main bioactive in milk, and a compound that contributes to strong bones, calcium has numerous physiological effects in the body – including mediating vascular contraction and vasodilatation, muscle function, nerve transmission, intracellular signaling, and hormonal secretion. Homeostatic regulation of calcium, which the body cannot produce, requires sufficient levels of vitamin D.<\/p> When present in sufficient amounts, calcium is necessary for the adequate formation, function, and remodeling of both bone and teeth. Insufficient levels of calcium are associated with degenerative bone and joint disorders such as osteoporosis, wherein bone accretion slows or stops; thereby reducing bone mass and density and decreasing bone strength.<\/p> Iodine (As Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum))<\/p> Iodine is a trace element naturally present in certain foods, including kelp. Iodine is a critical component for fetal development, especially during early pregnancy, as maternal T4 (thyroxine) is the sole source of fetal thyroid hormone. After birth, especially if breast-feeding, iodine remains an important constituent of a balanced-diet to maintain adequate T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) levels in the mother and for the proper cognitive development in the child.<\/p> As implied, however, the most important of iodine’s functions is assisting the body to produce and maintain healthy levels of both thyroid hormones and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone, released by the pituitary). The thyroid hormones, in turn, regulate several critical biochemical reactions, including protein synthesis, and, along with norepinephrine\/epinephrine, largely determine the body’s metabolic rate.<\/p> Magnesium (as Albion® Di-Magnesium Malate)<\/p> It is difficult to overstate the biological necessity of magnesium. Magnesium is a co-factor in over 300 enzymatic reactions that regulate essential physiological functions such as protein synthesis, glucose homeostasis, muscle and nerve function, and the maintenance and support of healthy blood pressure levels.<\/p> Magnesium is also required for the use of the body’s energy currency, ATP. To become biologically active, ATP must be bound to magnesium to form Mg-ATP. In addition, magnesium is necessary for the proper function of cells with calcium and potassium gated ion channels such as heart and muscle cells.<\/p> In men, magnesium (along with zinc) is necessary for the maintenance of healthy levels of testosterone.<\/p> Zinc (as Zinc Aspartate)<\/p> As an essential mineral, like magnesium, zinc is also involved in a wide-range of essential biological functions in the human body – and a requirement in the catalytic activity of over 100 enzymes.<\/p> Most notably, zinc is vital for immune function, protein synthesis, cellular division, and DNA synthesis. For immune function, zinc is required for the function of a group of immune cells known as neutrophils and macrophages, which eliminate pathological cells and their products from the body.<\/p> With magnesium, sufficient levels of zinc are also necessary for the production and maintenance of healthy levels of testosterone.<\/p> Copper (as TRAACS® Copper Bisglycinate Chelate)<\/p> Copper is a trace element necessary for the production, function, and maintenance of a diverse range of compounds involved in physiological function.<\/p> The brain, the heart, bone, and connective tissue specifically require copper or the enzymes it catalyzes to properly grow and differentiate their various cell types. Like many of the ingredients in Core MULTI, copper is also required for the homeostasis of other minerals, specifically zinc.<\/p> Manganese (Manganese Citrate)<\/p> Manganese is a required element for not only humans, but all living organisms. Manganese primarily acts as an antioxidant, specifically scavenging a radical oxygen species known as superoxide.<\/p> Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate)<\/p> Chromium is an essential, though little understood, trace element found in certain foods and industrial compounds. Only one of chromium’s two forms, the form used in Core MULTI, chromium 3+, is biologically active.<\/p> While not as well-defined as other trace elements, chromium’s physiological actions nevertheless seem pivotal to the production and transmission of healthy levels of insulin. Emerging research also seems to suggest that chromium is directly involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates.<\/p> Molybdenum (as TRAACS® Molybdenum Glycinate Chelate)<\/p> Molybdenum is an essential trace element, involved in at least four enzymatic reactions necessary for urea excretion and a number of other physiological functions.<\/p> Berberine HCL<\/p> There is extensive literature demonstrating that berberine is a potent AMPk agonist in skeletal muscle. Based on the pharmacological similarities between berberine and the anti-diabetic medicine metformin (with respect to AMPk activation), it is possible that berberine may promote an anti-catabolic state through increased expression of AMPk. <\/p> The human data – in both healthy and disease state populations – demonstrating berberine’s other physiological effects are numerous. A 2012 meta-analysis examined 14 randomized trials, containing 1068 patients, and assessed berberine’s efficacy in numerous biometrics, including resting plasma glucose levels, plasma insulin levels, body weight, body mass index, and reduction in fat mass and serum triglycerides and total cholesterol content. The aggregate data suggests that berberine performs at least as well as oral hypoglycemic agents (such as metformin) in these key metrics.<\/p> Boron Citrate<\/p> Boron is a mineral present in multiple fruits, vegetables, tubers, and drinking water, though it is not widely accepted as either an essential mineral or essential vitamin. Boron affects a few physiological functions in the body, particularly modulating hormonal homeostasis.<\/p> While still emerging, recent data suggest that boron may play a role in potentiating free testosterone levels in even healthy men. In one study, otherwise healthy men were provided an acute serving of boron and had their free and total levels of testosterone, alone with SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) and DHT (dihydrotestosterone) levels measured. In that study, total testosterone was unaltered, but free testosterone was enhanced by 14%, while SHBG was significantly (9%) reduced.<\/p> Choline (as Choline Bitartrate)<\/p> Choline is an essential nutrient involved in numerous metabolic pathways, including DNA regulation and repair, protein function, and metabolism. Perhaps most importantly, the critical neurotransmitter acetylcholine is produced directly from free choline via cholinergic neurons. Acetylcholine is then responsible for a number of functions itself, most crucially as the compound which induces muscular contraction, and as the neuromodulator partially responsible for modulating risk\/reward, arousal, and enhancing memory.<\/p> Choline’s essential role as a substrate for acetylcholine, and therefore brain development, is well documented in animal models. These studies demonstrate that levels of free maternal choline have a direct and fundamental impact on prenatal brain development, with the enhancements or deficits lasting into adulthood. Choline’s enhancing effect is particularly prominent in the hippocampus. In humans, the hippocampus is primarily involved in the consolidation of memory (taking short, episodic memory and translating it into long-term memory) and the learning of new information. Acetylcholine is a critical component in these processes, as mentioned above, and choline may therefore play a potential role in these processes as well by providing the substrate for acetylcholine synthesis.<\/p> Spectra<\/p> But when it comes to the basic supplements, the staples, most people have the attitude, \"It’s all the same.” They travel to their local supplement store, browse quickly online, or grab whatever’s on the grocery store shelves and call it a day. Why? Shouldn’t the staples, something you are placing in your body everyday, be purchased with as much exactitude as the exotic stuff? And more importantly, shouldn’t the staples be produced with as much care and attention to specifics as the exotic stuff?<\/span><\/p> At Core, we think they should – and that’s why we’ve released Core OMEGA. Core OMEGA is a fish oil supplement, the Core way. What does that mean? Well, it means carefully selecting a fish oil manufacturer for our product that produces its fish oils under the all important nitrogen barrier – a manufacturing technique that greatly reduces the chance for oxidation, significantly expands the product’s effective shelf life, and all but eliminates any \"fish” taste or smell from the oil. It also means ensuring that our fish oil product contains high levels of the all-important DHA and EPA, with 480mg and 720mg respectively in each serving. Lastly, it means using the purified triglyceride form, rather than the more common ethyl esters.<\/span><\/p> In total, this is not just another fish oil product – it is the fish oil product.<\/span><\/p> Nitrogen Barrier Production For fish oil, oxidation has a number of deleterious effects – principally, the production of hydroperoxides (the first step in oxidation) and secondary oxygen products not only produce the rancid, \"fish” smell typically associated with lower quality fish oil products; but perhaps more importantly, in breaking the double bond structure of the fish oil, these oxygen species degrade the integrity of the product and thus reduce their potential health benefits. The oxidation degradation is unfortunately widespread. One study found that 50% of 171 fish oil supplements in Canada exceeded the limits for at least one measure of oxidation, and 39% exceeded the international voluntary safety recommendations for total oxidation (TOTOX value).” Another study found that approximately 29% of fish oil supplements in the United States similarly exceeded recommended values.<\/span><\/p> Luckily, research has shown that reducing the exposure of fish oils to oxygen and environmental factors (humidity and temperature fluctuations) during the production process can significantly mitigate oxidation. One of the most effective ways to reduce oxygen exposure is to blanket the oil, as soon as its processed and produced, in an inert gas such as argon or nitrogen – thereby preventing the fish oil from coming into contact with oxygen at all. While exact values will vary by product, research has shown that both primary oxidation (the production of hydroperoxides, measured in peroxide value, PV) and secondary oxidation (measured in TOTOX (total oxidation value) and a-nsidine values) are vastly reduced through a nitrogen blanket or barrier. <\/span><\/p> In sum, producing fish oils under a nitrogen blanket or barrier not only reduces the rancid smell typically associated with fish oil products; but vastly extends their shelf life and integrity.<\/span><\/p> Triglycerides vs Ethyl Ester Forms First, a little primer on what triglycerides and ethyl esters are. Triglycerides are a molecular form common to almost all plant and animal species: a glycerol backbone with three fatty acids (in the case of fish oils, EPA and DHA) attached to them. For example, the \"stuff” of human adipose (fat) tissue is triglycerides. Ethyl Esters, on the other hand, lack a glycerol backbone – they are a single fatty acid molecule attached to an ethanol molecule. Unlike triglycerides, ethyl esters are not a natural molecular form and formed solely through chemical synthesis.<\/span><\/p> While the difference between triglycerides and ethyl esters as applied to fish oil may seem academic, it in fact has profound implications for the absorption and bioavailability of these oils. In very condensed form, the issue is twofold: how the fish oil is taken up into the bloodstream (absorption) and how it is made available to cells once that has occurred (bioavailability). In both contexts, there is evidence that triglycerides are superior to the ethyl ester form.<\/span><\/p> For bioavailability, the issue is how the small intestine breaks down each form of fish oil. As a natural product, our bodies are intrinsically capable of breaking down triglycerides via bile salts and pancreatic lipase. Once ingested, pancreatic lipase and bile salts are released, and in the small intestine, the triglyceride is broken down into so-called emulsion droplets – which can then easily be broken up, detaching the two fatty acid molecules from the glycerol backbone. Not so with ethyl esters. Not only is pancreatic lipase (by some estimates) 50% less effective in breaking down ethyl esters; but once digested, ethyl esters must be converted into triglycerides through the liberated fatty acids attaching to a glycerol molecule. Essentially, your body must reverse the entire metabolism of ethyl esters, then go through the normal triglyceride metabolism.<\/span><\/p> The biochemical differences between triglycerides and ethyl esters have been demonstrated in trials examining bioavailability and absorption efficiency. One study found that, when ingested in triglyceride form, EPA and DHA levels were 340% and 271%, respectively, as compared to the ethyl ester form. Additional research has found a 25% increase in plasma EPA and DHA levels over a six month period; that ethyl esters are \"poorly absorbed” by man; and that triglyceride form fish oils suffer less oxidation (on shelf) than the ethyl ester form.<\/span><\/p> EPA and DHA Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and cocosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have myriad health benefits, but their best-studied (and approved by the FDA) use is to balance and maintain healthy triglyceride levels. Triglycerides, as we mentioned, are produced naturally by most animals. They are necessary for a wide range of physiological function, but their overabundance is implicated in a number of pathological conditions. As a consequence, ingesting external forms of triglycerides – such as fish oils – can help balance triglycerides and maintain healthy levels. In perhaps the most robust meta-analysis to date, researchers examined 11 randomized human trials, comprised of 485 total individuals with a mean age of 25 to 49. The meta-analysis found robust evidence that DHA, specifically, exerts a significant triglyceride lowering and balancing effect. A similar meta-analysis focused on EPA found that its effects were comparable to DHA.<\/span><\/p> Both of these polyunsaturated fatty acids are best known for their triglyceride-lowering function, each exerts other interesting effects as well. Significant evidence suggests that EPA and DHA may mitigate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, molecules responsible for inducing the inflammation cascade in the body. Others studies suggest high levels of brain DHA are associated with verbal fluency and memory in healthy, normal adults – with one study finding that 6 months of DHA supplementation in young, healthy adults increased working memory assessed by recall.<\/span><\/p> One of fish oil’s (specifically, EPA’s) effects that may be of interest to fitness and physique athletes is its ability to induce AMPk (adenonsine monophosphoate kinase). AMPk, otherwise known as the \"master metabolic switch,” is a heterotrimeric enzymes responsible for energy catabolism in muscle and fat cells. When activated, AMPk increases lipolytic (the catabolism of fat tissue) signaling as a means of energy provision. Several studies demonstrate that high levels of EPA indirectly stimulate AMPk activation via decreasing PPARy.<\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/p>","gtin12":"672975009724","image":["https:\/\/siteimgs.com\/10017\/item\/core-omega-1800x1800_1603201223-0.jpg"],"brand":"Core Nutritionals","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/27050\/core-nutritionals-omega-120-softgels.htm","offers":{"@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD","price":"36.99","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/27050\/core-nutritionals-omega-120-softgels.htm","itemCondition":"http:\/\/schema.org\/NewCondition","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/InStock"}},{"@type":"Product","name":"Core Nutritionals Poise - Female Hormone Support - 112 Cap","sku":"CU301","description":" Core ABC is the athlete’s BCAA.<\/p>\r\n We use the most effective, scientifically-established ratio of BCAAs because we know it’s the difference between your first mile and your last.

There are however, time-tested and critical components to growth, such as excellent post-workout nutrition, timed properly, in an effective delivery system. And to an end, there is the all new Core POST.<\/p> Our new matrix takes the premise behind the original Core PWO-combining fast-acting protein and carbohydrate sources-and improves on that idea in a massive way. We have the classic ingredients of cold-processed microfiltered whey protein isolate, pure dextrose, and Cluster Dextrin, a balanced-insulin response carb source with reducet bloat. Core POST also includes additional free from L-leucine and Velositol to further enhance protein synthesis. In addition to these, we have added Vitacherry to support optimal recovery, as well as Bioperine to enhance the efficient of the ingredients.<\/p> Together, our changes and these new ingredients have made the best post-workout recovery matrix even better.<\/p> Physiological Properties and Effects:<\/p> Recovery Carb Blend (Dextrose and Cluster Dextrin):<\/p> As mentioned above, one of the main goals post workout is to restore muscle glycogen that has been depleted during the workout. The body will even break down muscle tissue for this purpose if an adequate influx of glucose – obtained from the consumption of carbohydrates – is not provided. For this reason, it is vital to include carbohydrates in the post-workout drink.<\/p> Though opinion varies, the scientific literature is relatively clear that fast–digesting carbohydrates such as dextrose and Cluster Dextrin create optimal conditions for the post-workout synthesis of both skeletal muscle protein and muscle glycogen. Not only have both of Core POST’s carbohydrates sources demonstrated higher rates of post-exercise glycogenesis (glycogen resynthesis) as compared to other carbohydrate sources, they have also been shown to optimize insulin response and blunt cortisol release to a greater degree than other carbohydrate sources.<\/p> Dextrose functions at such a higher capacity because of molecular structure, given that it is otherwise known as pure glucose – your body’s preferred energy substrate and the necessary component for the synthesis and resynthesis of glycogen. Bypassing the lengthy and metabolically costly process of digestion and breakdown, dextrose can be absorbed directly through the gut into the bloodstream and can cause an insulin response faster than any other carb. Additionally, since dextrose is already in the form the body requires, it can be used immediately for glycogen replenishment.<\/p> Cluster Dextrin, the second carbohydrate source in Core POST, is derived from corn. This carb source is extremely efficient in its digestion and exhibits little to no abdominal bloating. Research conducted on top swimmers, swimming in a flowing water pool, confirmed that Cluster Dextrin’s fast gastric emptying contributed to increased endurance (longer swim times). Swimmers provided a sports drink containing Cluster Dextrin had approximately 50% longer swim time than swimmers provided a mixture of water and glucose only.<\/p> In combination, the carbohydrates in Core POST, in their precise serving sizes, interact to form a comprehensive post-workout nutrition strategy:<\/p> Dextrose acts quickly to create an immediate supply of glucose and to stimulate post-workout insulin levels. Cold-Processed Microfi¬ltered Non-GMO Whey Protein Isolate:<\/p> If the post-workout environment were a jungle, whey protein isolate would be the lion – its king. While it is difficult to overstate the critical role that post-exercise protein consumption plays in both a macro (body composition) and micro (small-scale, physiological changes) context, some ambiguity remains: what is the ideal form, frequency, timing, and amount of protein consumption post-exercise? Luckily for you, Core Nutritionals’ research hounds have crunched the numbers and read the studies for you, and the result is a very precise amount of whey protein isolate included in Core POST.<\/p> In a statement that should not surprise a single athlete or casual weightlifter, intense resistance training has a profound effect on the function and structure of skeletal muscle and muscle proteins. Immediately following an intense bout of resistance exercise, a process known as muscle protein breakdown – with its sidekick, leucine oxidation – begin to literally tear down your skeletal muscle from the inside. While resistance training simultaneously increases a process known as protein synthesis, the fractional synthesis rate (how quickly the protein is synthesized) is often far exceeded by the rate of muscle protein breakdown and leucine oxidation. The result is that, in that absence of mitigating factors such as post-workout nutrition, your body is in a state of negative protein balance – i.e., catabolism.<\/p> In order to counteract a negative intramuscular protein balance, a number of things need to occur – mostly, a rapid increase in the availability of amino acids, and the optimization of several metabolically critical hormones (such as insulin). The combination of protein and carbohydrates contained in Core POST achieves precisely this balance, and research on whey protein and dextrose in combination demonstrates that this combination maximizes the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis and results in even greater muscle anabolism than either alone.<\/p> Free Form Vegan Leucine:<\/p> The branch-chained amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine are famous for their role in skeletal muscle protein synthesis and metabolism, and additionally comprise approximately one-third of all skeletal muscle protein. Of the three, leucine is both the most physiologically important with respect to muscle mass, and the most extensively studied. Data on leucine demonstrate this amino acid plays critical roles in stimulating skeletal muscle protein synthesis, and ribosomal biogenesis and assembly (the literal building of muscle tissue), along with playing a lesser role in insulin signaling and gluconeogenic processes. As a result of these diverse roles, leucine has been demonstrated to significantly stimulate skeletal muscle protein synthesis, and attenuate protein degradation, by both insulin-mediated and non-insulin mediated mechanisms.<\/p> Leucine’s insulin-mediated effects are largely the result of its activation of the classical insulin receptor substrate (IRS)\/phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase (PI3K)\/Akt\/mTOR signal transduction pathway. In this pathway, the bonding of a substrate (Insulin activates a compound known as PI3K, which in turn activates, Akt. Once phosphorylated and activated, Akt signals the release of the famous mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). mTOR then increases the translation of muscle-cell ribosomal proteins that increase ribosome biogenesis, which is the literal production of proteins. Leucine plays a critical role in all of this, creating the translation initiation factors that are the rate-limiting step in the production of the ribosomes spoken about above. Carbohydrates alone, other essential amino acids, and non-essential amino acids have not been shown to have the stimulatory effects on muscle protein synthesis – leucine alone has, highlighting is primacy as a muscle protein activator. Leucine has additionally been shown to positively regulate protein synthesis independent of insulin. In certain trials where rapamycin and leucine were co-administered, rapamycin showed only partial inhibition of leucine’s effects on muscle protein synthesis. Rapamycin is also a critical component to the PI3K\/Akt\/mTOR pathway, as the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) suggests. One of rapamycin’s primary functions is to inhibit mTOR. So, if leucine-mediate protein synthesis is only partially blocked by rapamycin, but rapamycin fully inhibits mTOR, this suggests that leucine-mediate protein synthesis is only partially dependent on the PI3K pathway.<\/p> Velositol:<\/p> Velositol, a patented complex of amylopectin\/chromium, is a fascinating compound – with emerging clinical data to suggest that it is effective in significantly enhancing skeletal muscle protein synthesis when combined with whey protein (vs whey alone).<\/p> In a double-blind crossover study, featuring 10 exercise-trained adults, researchers combined Velositol with 6g of whey protein to measure what effects, if any, the compound would exert on skeletal muscle protein synthesis. (The control group consumed 6g of whey alone.) After collecting baseline muscle biopsies – to measure phenylalanine, a marker of muscle-building – the subjects performed eight reps of leg extensions. A final muscle biopsy was taken post-workout, to measure the changes in muscle protein synthesis between the study and control group.<\/p> The results were significant: the researchers found that muscle protein synthesis had nearly doubled in the Velositol group, compared to the control. The researchers hypothesized that the mechanism of action of Velositol is the stimulated uptake of leucine and other amino acids due to an influx of insulin (from the chromium).<\/p> While further study is warranted, the existing data on Velositol suggests it’s a must-have addition to any recovery matrix.<\/p> Vitacherry:<\/p> Vitacherry, comprised of Montmorency tart cherries, is a highly studied ingredient that has been shown to aid in muscle recovery as well as protect against post-exercise soreness and fatigue. Vitacherry is filled with free radical fighting phytonutrients and compounds that work synergistically work together to reduce exercise induced inflammation. A 2016 study including 27 participants looked at the benefits of short-term supplementation with Montmorency tart cherries surrounding an endurance event showed positive results when it came to the benefits listed above. It was found was that supplementation in conjunction with a a vigorous exercise event had positive benefits towards:<\/p> Reduced immune and inflammatory response to stress BioPerine is a patented standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum (black pepper). ItsIt’s studied benefits have shown improvements in bioavailability of nutrients it is surrounded by. When it comes to post exercise nutrition, efficiency and speed with which nutrients can enter the system and get to their target is of the upmost importance. The \"window of opportunity” is much larger than what has been previously thought, but when your results weigh heavily on post-exercise nutrition, maximal absorption and use of nutrients is extremely important.<\/p> BioPerine primarily works through mechanisms and channels that can inhibit intestinal motility and dilate blood vessels of the intestines (where absorption of nutrients occurs). This physiological action may cause increased absorption and digestion of nutrients.<\/p> Several studies looking at BioPerine’s impact on nutrient absorption have been done. One study looking at the efficacy of BioPerine on serum concentrations of curcumin showed bioavailability was improved by more than 500%. Therapeutic effectiveness of curcumin has often been exhibited as low. Another study conducted over the course of 6 weeks on BioPerine influence on serum selenium levels in humans showed an increase by 145% over the presupplementation value.<\/p> There are no secrets to recovery - no special tricks you can use. There are however, time-tested and critical components to growth, such as excellent post-workout nutrition, timed properly, in an effective delivery system. And to an end, there is the all new Core POST.<\/p> Our new matrix takes the premise behind the original Core PWO-combining fast-acting protein and carbohydrate sources-and improves on that idea in a massive way. We have the classic ingredients of cold-processed microfiltered whey protein isolate, pure dextrose, and Cluster Dextrin, a balanced-insulin response carb source with reducet bloat. Core POST also includes additional free from L-leucine and Velositol to further enhance protein synthesis. In addition to these, we have added Vitacherry to support optimal recovery, as well as Bioperine to enhance the efficient of the ingredients.<\/p> Together, our changes and these new ingredients have made the best post-workout recovery matrix even better.<\/p> Physiological Properties and Effects:<\/p> Recovery Carb Blend (Dextrose and Cluster Dextrin):<\/p> As mentioned above, one of the main goals post workout is to restore muscle glycogen that has been depleted during the workout. The body will even break down muscle tissue for this purpose if an adequate influx of glucose – obtained from the consumption of carbohydrates – is not provided. For this reason, it is vital to include carbohydrates in the post-workout drink.<\/p> Though opinion varies, the scientific literature is relatively clear that fast–digesting carbohydrates such as dextrose and Cluster Dextrin create optimal conditions for the post-workout synthesis of both skeletal muscle protein and muscle glycogen. Not only have both of Core POST’s carbohydrates sources demonstrated higher rates of post-exercise glycogenesis (glycogen resynthesis) as compared to other carbohydrate sources, they have also been shown to optimize insulin response and blunt cortisol release to a greater degree than other carbohydrate sources.<\/p> Dextrose functions at such a higher capacity because of molecular structure, given that it is otherwise known as pure glucose – your body’s preferred energy substrate and the necessary component for the synthesis and resynthesis of glycogen. Bypassing the lengthy and metabolically costly process of digestion and breakdown, dextrose can be absorbed directly through the gut into the bloodstream and can cause an insulin response faster than any other carb. Additionally, since dextrose is already in the form the body requires, it can be used immediately for glycogen replenishment.<\/p> Cluster Dextrin, the second carbohydrate source in Core POST, is derived from corn. This carb source is extremely efficient in its digestion and exhibits little to no abdominal bloating. Research conducted on top swimmers, swimming in a flowing water pool, confirmed that Cluster Dextrin’s fast gastric emptying contributed to increased endurance (longer swim times). Swimmers provided a sports drink containing Cluster Dextrin had approximately 50% longer swim time than swimmers provided a mixture of water and glucose only.<\/p> In combination, the carbohydrates in Core POST, in their precise serving sizes, interact to form a comprehensive post-workout nutrition strategy:<\/p> Dextrose acts quickly to create an immediate supply of glucose and to stimulate post-workout insulin levels.

You don’t want to gag while doing it.<\/p>\r\n We chose the protein blend and taste for Core PRO with that in mind. Our mix of proteins have a robust and complete amino acid profile that has been shown in research to increase lean muscle impact – while our flavoring tastes like a cheat!<\/p>\r\n What do you look for in a protein supplement? More importantly, what should you look for? Let’s be honest: in 2020, taste is paramount to the experience. Amazing taste was our priority for the reformulation of Core PRO – and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams, if we say so ourselves.<\/p>\r\n But this is Core Nutritionals, meaning that function must always match taste and form. Core PRO is no different. While the protein blend in Core PRO was always industry-leading, we have made it even better. Our blend of whey concentrate, whey isolate, and milk protein isolate delivers smooth texture, fast and slow-digesting proteins, and a complete amino acid profile that suits your needs. In other words, have perfected the marriage of TASTE AND PERFORMANCE, and the result is Core PRO.<\/p>\r\n Core PRO is a clinical-strength, sustained release protein formula, specifically designed to keep you fueled with the right growth\/recovery agents over extended periods of time. This innovative blend provides the perfect arrangement of both fast-uptake and sustained-release proteins, from superior cold-processed whey proteins and micellar casein-rich milk protein sources. This strong synergistic blend helps promote optimal growth and recovery by providing the vital building blocks your body needs, exactly when you need them most. Our superior protein blend contains a generous array of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) in their naturally-occurring biological ratios, to delay fatigue and expedite your recovery.<\/p>\r\n The benefits don’t stop there. To make this the most effective recovery formula available, we’ve enhanced it with a powerful digestive enzyme blend, including protein-digesting proteases, to improve absorption and accelerate nutrient uptake. The beneficial fatty acids from MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) in Core PRO help preserve lean mass while unleashing your body’s natural metabolic potential. And unlike some formulas, you never have to worry about taking it at the wrong time. Staying fueled all day or overnight never tasted so good!<\/p>\r\n Here is a more complete breakdown of each protein source:<\/p>\r\n Cold-processed undenatured whey protein concentrate:<\/strong> <\/span>Whey protein concentrate is probably the most common form of whey protein you will find. However, how it is processed is where the benefit truly lies. This process of cold processed undenaturization preserves the molecular structure of the amino acid particles as well as the immune boosting benefits that it contains. This undenatured protein is also a rich source of amino acids, including those needed for the synthesis of glutathione, which is an important antioxidant that can be depleted by stress (exercise stress included). This makes it a great foundation for your post workout recovery nutrition.<\/p>\r\n Cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate:<\/strong> <\/span>whey protein isolate is an extremely “clean” form of whey protein. It yields a higher amount of amino acids, half of which are from the essential amino acids (cannot be made by the body). Microfiltration eliminates a large majority of the fat and lactose from the whey, which makes it easily digestible and quickly absorbed into the body. This cross-flow process uses a highly intricate method to isolate the protein. It is not subjected to chemicals and is thus left in its most natural state.<\/p>\r\n Milk Protein Isolate:<\/strong> <\/span>milk protein isolate is obtained through the partial removal of non-protein materials from skim milk (lactose and other minerals). What you are left with is a dry product that contains more than 90% protein by weight. This product contains both casein and whey proteins in their original proportions found in milk, without combining separately produced casein and whey proteins. It contains very little fat and lactose and also has a very high amino acid composition making it a perfect addition to this blend.<\/p>\r\n This blend has also been specifically configured to provide both rapid and sustained additions to your body’s amino acid profile – meaning your recovery is not only supported immediately after a session but will also carry you to your next meal. On top of that, our flavors are out of this world! We’ve also boosted this protein blend with digestive enzymes that will provide you with all of the confidence that those nutrients you just supplied your body with will do their part in your quest for the optimal result!<\/p>\r\n DigeSEB Digestive enzyme blend:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n One can easily make the argument that dietary enzymes – and in particular, digestive enzymes – are the most consistently underrated and overlooked component to a supplementation regimen. These powerful little protein structures influence or outright control a vast, complex network of bodily functions. In a fitness-specific context, digestive enzymes play an absolutely crucial role in the breaking down of dietary carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into their constitutive parts, and therefore allow your body to use them in various processes (glycogenesis, protein synthesis, etc).<\/p>\r\n Despite their critical function, many supplement companies overlook the necessity of digestive enzymes and do not include sufficient levels (and kinds) of enzymes in their products. For a whey product, in particular – a compound that requires significant digestion and breakdown – this is madness.<\/p>\r\n As usual, we take a much more comprehensive, clinical approach than the average. In Core PRO, we have included a digestive enzyme blend called DigeSEB comprised by amylases, proteases, lactases, amylases, and cellulases, allowing for a full and complete breakdown of all PRO’s components. Research suggests that whey absorption through the blood is heavily impacted by its gastric digestibility. Using DigeSEB ensures that the protein – along with its milk and whey sugars and fats – are completely broken down.<\/p>\r\n DigeSEB ensures that Core PRO not only provides gourmet taste and clinical ingredients within the protein itself, but that your protein also increases the effectiveness of your pre and post-workout nutrition in general.<\/p>\r\n Coconut Oil Creamer (Medium Chain Triglycerides):<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Coconut oil made of 100% Medium chain triglycerides has been shown to have the greatest health benefits. MCTs are made up of a chemical structure that allows them to quickly and effectively bypass gastric uptake for transport directly to the liver for oxidation and then used for energy. Their unusual chemical structure and metabolic process has resulted in MCTs being a focus for a wide range of therapeutic and exercise supplement uses.<\/p>\r\n In the context of exercise science, recent research has shown that MCTs significantly (up to 65%) increase resting energy expenditure, along with dose-dependently reducing fatty acid deposition in adipose tissue. These results suggest that MCTs are effectively increasing the body’s metabolic response to food intake.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>","gtin12":"850051031313","image":["https:\/\/siteimgs.com\/10017\/item\/corepro-5lb-blueberry_1692808088-0.jpg"],"brand":"Core Nutritionals","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/33399\/core-nutritionals-pro-sustained-release-protein.htm","offers":{"@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD","price":"89.99","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/33399\/core-nutritionals-pro-sustained-release-protein.htm","itemCondition":"http:\/\/schema.org\/NewCondition","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/InStock"}},{"@type":"Product","name":"Core Nutritionals PRO Sustained Release Protein Blend Blueberry Muffin - 2 Lb","sku":"CU300","description":" Sustained Release Protein Blend We chose the protein blend and taste for Core PRO with that in mind.

Staying fueled all day or overnight never tasted so good!<\/span><\/p> Scientific breakdown:<\/strong><\/span><\/p> We said above that protein powders need to – or at least should – have a purpose: to improve recovery times, and ultimately, body composition. But how does that occur? Or more specifically, what needs to happen in the body in order to recover from a workout, and subsequently improve body composition. To sum it up with one phrase, net protein balance needs to be positive.<\/span><\/p> When you vigorously train or exert yourself, a process called protein degradation (the breakdown of muscle protein) begins so that the body can fuel itself, and a process called muscle protein synthesis (the creation of muscle protein) slows down. Think of this like shutting off your engine (protein synthesis), in order to fuel your car (muscle protein breakdown). As this entire process plays out, the available pool of amino acids in skeletal muscle depletes, as they too are drawn in and broken down in the natural, catabolic process during exercise training.<\/span><\/p> While this situation is quite adequate during a training session, it’s precisely the opposite of what we want afterwards. At that point, we want the available pool of amino acids to increase, protein degradation to slow or stop, and muscle protein synthesis to increase. Enter protein supplements. Protein powders are a quick, convenient way to rapidly increase the available pool of amino acids in skeletal muscle.<\/span><\/p> However, not all proteins are created equal when assessed within the matrix of molecular triggers, enzymes, and amino acids that constitute skeletal muscle protein synthesis. Low quality blends, fillers, masking agents, and the like reduce the net protein content of many protein products, ultimately reducing lean muscle impact.<\/span><\/p> A quality protein supplement not only contains a high amount of protein, but the protein sources from which it draws need to be themselves high quality – and the benefit a particular protein source has can be assessed by analyzing its amino acid profile. Human skeletal muscle makes the most use out of a few, particular amino acids (the BCAAs among them), and so a quality protein needs to have an amino acid profile that is optimal for this context.<\/span><\/p> We chose the protein blend for Core PRO with optimization in mind. Our mix of cold-processed undenatured whey protein concentrate, cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate, and milk protein isolate has a complete amino acid profile that has been shown in research to increase nitrogen retention, lean muscle impact, and satiating ability (the feeling of fullness). This blend has also been specifically configured to provide both rapid and sustained additions to your body’s amino acid profile – meaning your recovery is not only supported immediately after a session, when you most need it, but over time as well.<\/span><\/p> Best of all, we have moved to a fully transparent label for Core PRO. Meaning that not only do we disclose the protein sources themselves and their specific yields, but we have also disclosed the entire formula’s amino acid profile. You can see, for example, that each serving yields a full 2.6g of leucine – a leucine dose supported in the literature to maximally increase muscle protein synthesis.<\/span><\/p> Here is a more complete breakdown of each protein source:<\/strong><\/span><\/p> Cold-processed undenatured whey protein concentrate: Whey protein concentrate is probably the most common form of whey protein you will find.

These results suggest that MCTs are effectively increasing the body’s metabolic response to food intake.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\r\n","gtin12":"672975315733","image":["https:\/\/siteimgs.com\/10017\/item\/pro-blueberry-2lb_1612040602-0.jpg"],"brand":"Core Nutritionals","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/30575\/core-nutritionals-pro-blueberry-muffin-2-lb.htm","offers":{"@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD","price":"44.99","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/30575\/core-nutritionals-pro-blueberry-muffin-2-lb.htm","itemCondition":"http:\/\/schema.org\/NewCondition","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/InStock"}},{"@type":"Product","name":"Core Nutritionals PRO Sustained Release Protein Blend Chocolate - 2 Lb","sku":"CU202","description":" Sustained Release Protein Blend We chose the protein blend and taste for Core PRO with that in mind. Our mix of proteins have a robust and complete amino acid profile that has been shown in research to increase lean muscle impact – while our flavoring tastes like a cheat!<\/span><\/p> What do you look for in a protein supplement? More importantly, what should you look for? Let’s be honest: in 2020, taste is paramount to the experience. Amazing taste was our priority for the reformulation of Core PRO – and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams, if we say so ourselves.<\/span><\/p> But this is Core Nutritionals, meaning that function must always match taste and form. Core PRO is no different. While the protein blend in Core PRO was always industry-leading, we have made it even better. Our blend of whey concentrate, whey isolate, and milk protein isolate delivers smooth texture, fast and slow-digesting proteins, and a complete amino acid profile that suits your needs. In other words, have perfected the marriage of TASTE AND PERFORMANCE, and the result is Core PRO.<\/span><\/p> Core PRO is a clinical-strength, sustained release protein formula, specifically designed to keep you fueled with the right growth\/recovery agents over extended periods of time. This innovative blend provides the perfect arrangement of both fast-uptake and sustained-release proteins, from superior cold-processed whey proteins and micellar casein-rich milk protein sources. This strong synergistic blend helps promote optimal growth and recovery by providing the vital building blocks your body needs, exactly when you need them most. Our superior protein blend contains a generous array of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) in their naturally-occurring biological ratios, to delay fatigue and expedite your recovery.<\/span><\/p> The benefits don’t stop there. To make this the most effective recovery formula available, we’ve enhanced it with a powerful digestive enzyme blend, including protein-digesting proteases, to improve absorption and accelerate nutrient uptake. The beneficial fatty acids from MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) in Core PRO help preserve lean mass while unleashing your body’s natural metabolic potential. And unlike some formulas, you never have to worry about taking it at the wrong time. Staying fueled all day or overnight never tasted so good!<\/span><\/p> Scientific breakdown:<\/strong><\/span><\/p> We said above that protein powders need to – or at least should – have a purpose: to improve recovery times, and ultimately, body composition. But how does that occur? Or more specifically, what needs to happen in the body in order to recover from a workout, and subsequently improve body composition. To sum it up with one phrase, net protein balance needs to be positive.<\/span><\/p> When you vigorously train or exert yourself, a process called protein degradation (the breakdown of muscle protein) begins so that the body can fuel itself, and a process called muscle protein synthesis (the creation of muscle protein) slows down. Think of this like shutting off your engine (protein synthesis), in order to fuel your car (muscle protein breakdown). As this entire process plays out, the available pool of amino acids in skeletal muscle depletes, as they too are drawn in and broken down in the natural, catabolic process during exercise training.<\/span><\/p> While this situation is quite adequate during a training session, it’s precisely the opposite of what we want afterwards. At that point, we want the available pool of amino acids to increase, protein degradation to slow or stop, and muscle protein synthesis to increase. Enter protein supplements. Protein powders are a quick, convenient way to rapidly increase the available pool of amino acids in skeletal muscle.<\/span><\/p> However, not all proteins are created equal when assessed within the matrix of molecular triggers, enzymes, and amino acids that constitute skeletal muscle protein synthesis. Low quality blends, fillers, masking agents, and the like reduce the net protein content of many protein products, ultimately reducing lean muscle impact.<\/span><\/p> A quality protein supplement not only contains a high amount of protein, but the protein sources from which it draws need to be themselves high quality – and the benefit a particular protein source has can be assessed by analyzing its amino acid profile. Human skeletal muscle makes the most use out of a few, particular amino acids (the BCAAs among them), and so a quality protein needs to have an amino acid profile that is optimal for this context.<\/span><\/p> We chose the protein blend for Core PRO with optimization in mind. Our mix of cold-processed undenatured whey protein concentrate, cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate, and milk protein isolate has a complete amino acid profile that has been shown in research to increase nitrogen retention, lean muscle impact, and satiating ability (the feeling of fullness). This blend has also been specifically configured to provide both rapid and sustained additions to your body’s amino acid profile – meaning your recovery is not only supported immediately after a session, when you most need it, but over time as well.<\/span><\/p> Best of all, we have moved to a fully transparent label for Core PRO. Meaning that not only do we disclose the protein sources themselves and their specific yields, but we have also disclosed the entire formula’s amino acid profile. You can see, for example, that each serving yields a full 2.6g of leucine – a leucine dose supported in the literature to maximally increase muscle protein synthesis.<\/span><\/p> Here is a more complete breakdown of each protein source:<\/strong><\/span><\/p> Cold-processed undenatured whey protein concentrate: Whey protein concentrate is probably the most common form of whey protein you will find. However, how it is processed is where the benefit truly lies. This process of cold processed undenaturization preserves the molecular structure of the amino acid particles as well as the immune boosting benefits that it contains. This undenatured protein is also a rich source of amino acids, including those needed for the synthesis of glutathione, which is an important antioxidant that can be depleted by stress (exercise stress included). This makes it a great foundation for your post workout recovery nutrition.<\/span><\/p> Cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate: whey protein isolate is an extremely \"clean” form of whey protein. It yields a higher amount of amino acids, half of which are from the essential amino acids (cannot be made by the body). Microfiltration eliminates a large majority of the fat and lactose from the whey, which makes it easily digestible and quickly absorbed into the body. This cross-flow process uses a highly intricate method to isolate the protein. It is not subjected to chemicals and is thus left in its most natural state.<\/span><\/p> Milk Protein Isolate: milk protein isolate is obtained through the partial removal of non-protein materials from skim milk (lactose and other minerals). What you are left with is a dry product that contains more than 90% protein by weight. This product contains both casein and whey proteins in their original proportions found in milk, without combining separately produced casein and whey proteins. It contains very little fat and lactose and also has a very high amino acid composition making it a perfect addition to this blend.<\/span><\/p> This blend has also been specifically configured to provide both rapid and sustained additions to your body’s amino acid profile – meaning your recovery is not only supported immediately after a session but will also carry you to your next meal. On top of that, our flavors are out of this world! We’ve also boosted this protein blend with digestive enzymes that will provide you with all of the confidence that those nutrients you just supplied your body with will do their part in your quest for the optimal result!<\/span><\/p> DigeSEB Digestive enzyme blend:<\/strong><\/span><\/p> One can easily make the argument that dietary enzymes – and in particular, digestive enzymes – are the most consistently underrated and overlooked component to a supplementation regimen. These powerful little protein structures influence or outright control a vast, complex network of bodily functions. In a fitness-specific context, digestive enzymes play an absolutely crucial role in the breaking down of dietary carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into their constitutive parts, and therefore allow your body to use them in various processes (glycogenesis, protein synthesis, etc).<\/span><\/p> Despite their critical function, many supplement companies overlook the necessity of digestive enzymes and do not include sufficient levels (and kinds) of enzymes in their products. For a whey product, in particular – a compound that requires significant digestion and breakdown – this is madness.<\/span><\/p> As usual, we take a much more comprehensive, clinical approach than the average. In Core PRO, we have included a digestive enzyme blend called DigeSEB comprised by amylases, proteases, lactases, amylases, and cellulases, allowing for a full and complete breakdown of all PRO’s components. Research suggests that whey absorption through the blood is heavily impacted by its gastric digestibility. Using DigeSEB ensures that the protein – along with its milk and whey sugars and fats – are completely broken down.<\/span><\/p> DigeSEB ensures that Core PRO not only provides gourmet taste and clinical ingredients within the protein itself, but that your protein also increases the effectiveness of your pre and post-workout nutrition in general.<\/span><\/p> Coconut Oil Creamer (Medium Chain Triglycerides):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Oil derived from marine animals – commonly referred to as \"fish oils” – are widely consumed for the high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (such as DHA and EPA) that they contain and the potential health benefits that these fatty acids confer. Unfortunately, polyunsaturated fatty acids are notoriously unstable: they are composed of double-bonds between carbon atoms, a chemical structure that is notoriously susceptible to oxidation. (Oxidation is the process of producing oxygen species as a consequence of a compound’s exposure to oxygen.)<\/span><\/p>
We have established that how fish oils are produced may impact their viability as a dietary supplement. But the production process is not the only salient factor in fish oil efficacy and viability – the form that a fish oil takes is paramount, as well. Specifically, the differences between triglycerides and ethyl esters may be formative in how fish oils are absorbed and confer their potential health benefits.<\/span><\/p>
Now that we know why producing fish oils under nitrogen barrier protects the integrity of fish oil, and why triglycerides are superior to ethyl esters, we have only one major question left: what benefits do fish oils (specifically, EPA and DHA) pose to humans?<\/span><\/p>
