In the last part of this series which takes a closer look at some of the supplements that may have skipped your attention, I focused on the sea algae Chlorella. This time around I am going to turn the spotlight on Glutathione.
Despite its proven health benefits, the antioxidant glutathione has managed to slip under the radar as far as essential nutrients are concerned. However, I aim to change all that by officially introducing you to this substance and examining some of the ways you can benefit from its use. So let's get things started with a little background information:
Those of you that are powerlifting fans require no introduction to Westside Barbell. Louie Simmons' Columbus-based gym is the ultimate hardcore iron dungeon with powerlifters traveling from around the world to train under his guidance. One of these was the Russian Dynamo Vlad Alhazov, owner of the current world record squat of 1,250 pounds.
Deal For A Day
If you don't visit www.wheycheap.com on a daily basis, you should. This site is actually bodybuilding.com's outlet store. It's a site that features a different product, every 24 hours, at a vastly discounted price. Often they sell out within hours. There's no predicting what's going to be up there or available on any specific day, and many different supplement companies are featured.
Saturday the 9th the featured deal was Nutrabolics Iso-MRP, 2 lbs, chocolate milk flavor, for $22.99 (MSRP, or as they refer to it, "girlyman price", is $49.99). This day's deal was 54% off retail! We all know there are many websites selling supplements at a discount, but this was a great price; about what you'd pay late in the afternoon on the last day of the Arnold Classic Expo.
From the 5/4/09 issue of ESPN: The Magazine's "NFL Insider" column, comes this line:
"Jaguars QB David Garrard ... since enduring 42 sacks, third most in the league, has added more workouts and cut out carbs this off-season. He's now 20 pounds lighter..."
For those who continue to think ketogenic or low-carb diets don't have a role in the athletic world, how much evidence do you need? Professional football is one of the most violent and taxing sports on the planet, yet NFL players go low-carb. Nice!
