Home made nutritional stacks .. How & Why.
There is more truth in packaging with individual amino acids than blends. There is a big temptation for large companies to increase the proportion of less expensive aminos .. L-Lysine & L-Glycine cost 85% less than Arginine Ketogluterate.
Purchase individual aminos & nutrients to quickly blend a stack that has the exact ingredients you want ..
Suggested blends / stacks with directions & reputable nutrient sources below.
I personally use 'cherry cool aide' to mask / cover the taste of the amino acids.
I recently added Arginine Ethel Ester DiHCl to my pre workout stack along with AKG ( I love Arginine .. it works) + Ornithine & Glutamine .. Arginine Ethel ester is some nasty tasting stuff with definite vascular impact .. cherry kool aide covers the taste OK.
You can copy a commercial product's formula
.. or design / make a custom
nutritional stack
1st thing in the morning stack, a pre-workout stack, a
post-workout stack and a pre-sleep stack.. each specialized stack can
be optimized for time of day & situation. You can duplicate 90% of current magazine
advertised "super products" .. & save 70% off the lowest discount price. + you are assured of quality & truth in
labeling 2007: One of the hot stacks in
retail stores & promoted in multi-page magazine ads
has Arginine, Glutamine & Glycine .... part of our recommendations since 1998.

Supplements supplement a complete diet .. not replace a complete diet.
In response to several professional jocks marketing an amino acid hGH releaser the chairman of The World Anti-Doping Agency, Dr. Gary Wadler the Manhasset-based sports and drugs expert, reports that there is medical proof that "certain non-prescription amino acid products can transiently increase the production of human growth hormone". There is no doubt that proper amino acid Secretagogue supplementation increases natural hGH production!
2005 Syracuse University: Dr. Jim Stoppani, Flex Magazine: A Research Project on men between 18 & 35 has published a report showing that that 6 grams to 9 grams of Arginine acts as a HGH Secretagogue.
A 9 gram L-Arginine serving increased serum HGH by over 60%, from 4mcg/liter to 6.5 mcg/liter.
Cost example (July, 2008 internet cost) For less than $60 you can obtain over 1300 grams of pure amino acids!
= 2,600 500 mg caps for $60. = $2.30 per 100 500mg caps!
By purchasing individual nutrients you save money and can be assured of actual ingredient composition!

Pre-blending it is extremely easy to tell one amino acid from another. You can mix it as well as the big boys .. + you are not a greedy executive maximizing profits by cutting ingredient cost.
Vendors of individual nutrients know that you can directly compare their L-Glutamine, AAKG or L-Lysine with another brand of L-Glutamine, AAKG or L-Lysine. Very much more difficult to compare a pre-blended product with a comparable product.... near impossible!

Some of the amino acids used in the successful HGH medical research studies are relatively inexpensive & some are extremely expensive! Any product that does not list specific amino acid ratios / amounts is at best questionable.
Why would a quality product not list specific amino acid amounts & ratios? The amount of amino acids needed for reported secretagogue success is measured in grams. Proper Secretagogue Formulations we suggest contain 14 grams ( 14,000 mgs ) of Amino Acids per serving + 2.7 ( 2700mgs ) synergistic nutrients. |
Use our Formulations or invent your own stack.
Day Time: 3 gm L-Glutamine, 4 gm L-Arginine Ketogluterate, 2 gm L- Ornithine, 5 gm L-Glycine, 200 mg Niacin (Flush B-3), 500 mg Vit. C, 2 gm MSM
Night Time:
3gm L-Glutamine, 3 gm GABA, 3gm Arginine Alpha Ketogluterate,
2gm L-Glycine, 200mg Niacin
(Flush B-3 ),
2 gm MSM
Easy identification of the labeled ingredient makes
it extremely difficult for a corporation to alter the labeled
ingredient. Products listing only a Proprietary Blend are to be avoided at all costs.
Why would a
manufacturer list a "proprietary blend"? Ink cost? If the exact amount of each amino is NOT
listed it would be safe to assume the less expensive aminos comprise the majority
of the proprietary blend. Huge temptation for a manufacturer to use
more of a less expensive amino acid / nutrient. Many retail products on the market falsely
& intentionally overstate
the expensive ingredients in their products! Published research demonstrates a
therapeutic serving of amino acids is measured in grams. Our recommended
stacks would require 30 500mg capsules! Our recommended home made formulations
provide 15 grams = 15,000 mg = 1/2 ounce of Amino Acids & Nutrients per full
serving .. more nutrients than any commercial product .. + for lots less
$$s. You can easily make your own custom
formulations & be assured of the ingredient quality! You can have a 1st thing in the morning
stack, pre-workout stack, post-workout stack and pre-sleep stack.. each
optimized for time of day & situation.
Ingredient, Time & Situational synergy ..
Optimization is possible.
Choose the Aminos / Nutrients that you want
to stack / combine .. Have all the aminos / nutrients for THIS
stack togeather. & 6 or 12 baggies at your side. We
recommend stacking 6 days per week. 1 table spoon of each chosen amino is a good
place to start. You can customize .. adapt .. add more of one
.. alternate .. experiment .. I use 2 rounded table spoons of Arginine Alpha
Ketogluterate. ,, or 1 AAKG + 1 L-Arginine. Start with your first amino acid .. add 1
tablespoon to each of the baggies. Since all the aminos are
white .. after spooning each amino into all the baggies .. close the jar & put it aside. Unless you are careful you will become
confused about where you are in the 'amino to baggie' process. After years of making custom blends, I can tell the difference between L-Arginine,
Arginine Pyroglutamate and Arginine Alpha Ketogluterate by looking. However, once they are mixed it is near impossible
to tell by looking. Even after blending you can tell by taste
what is in & what is left out. Soon you will be able to recognize the
individual different nutrients by sight, taste, feel, texture & odor. You'll see differences in L-Glycine, GABA,
L-Glutamine, L-Arginine, MSM .. immediately. They all taste differently .. each of your
stacks will have a distinctive flavor. At the end of this process .. baggie to
baggie to baggie .. you have a custom
Stack In a few minutes you can have a 2 week supply
of highest quality nutritional stacks. Each baggie now contains 1 full serving. Add the mix to a glass of room temp water
& you have an optimized stack. This method allows you to customize your
stack to the aminos that provide YOU the best results. Using this custom mixing method you can
easily mix a nutritional stack optimized for your personal requirements.

Appropriate
exercise,
proper rest &
planned
nutrition ( intelligent lifestyle? ) are required for personal optimization. A pharmaceutical scale would allow you to
measure any nutrient .. but sub gram weights are not meant for spoon measuring. in order to add nutrients like Alpha Lipoic
Acid, CQ10 .. DHEA .. a precision digital scale is required. A quality gram scale should cost about $100. A digital scale can make your life much
easier if you choose to add nutrients in sub 1 gram amounts. Google "digital gram scale". ..
Ohaus Scales, iBalance Scales or Jennings Scales all sell precision accurate gram scales.
