Ripped Power with Ephedra

Supplements for weight loss are a lot to a little in today’s world. It seems like there are a lot of options on the internet. In this article we will be looking at Ripped Power with Ephedra. Ripped Power was created to replace the original formula of Ripped Lean. The original formula of Ripped Lean had ephedra but you can’t find that formula anymore. The Ripped Power formula has Epehdera Extract along with many helpful fat burners. In this article we will look at what each key ingredient does.

Ephedra Extract: Epheda diet pills are made with Ephedra; a bush-like plant that can be found in the desert areas in Asia and other some other places on Earth. Ephedra is a stimulant that contains the herbal version of ephedrine, a substance that can be found in over-the-counter asthma drugs. In the USA, ephedra can be found in supplement stores under a variety of manufacturers. Ephedrine is often-times utilized to achieve weight loss goals, boost energy levels and improve athletic performance.

Guarana: Because guarana seeds are rich in caffeine, xanthine alkaloids, theophylline, and theobromine, guarana is incredibly popular as an energy product.* Because guarana is very versatile and works well with other ingredients, it is not usually sold by itself. You can find guarana in many energy drinks, energy blends, and fat burners.

Caffeine is one of the most popular stimulants available today, and guarana is one of the best sources of it - a great alternative to coffee or tea, plus it tastes great! Caffeine is an awesome source of energy, and is also used in many thermogenic fat burners for weight loss.

Theobroma: Cacao seems to diminish appetite, probably due to its monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitors (MAO inhibitors) - these are different from digestive enzyme inhibitors found in most nuts and seeds. These rare MAO inhibitors actually produce favorable results when consumed by allowing more serotonin and other neurotransmitters to circulate in the brain.

Phenylethylamine (PEA) is found in chocolate. PEA is an adrenal-related chemical that is also created within the brain and released when we are in love. This is one of the reasons why love and chocolate have a deep correlation. PEA also plays a role in increasing focus and alertness.

Acacia Rigidula: Acacia rigidula suppresses appetite. You eat less. The shortage of carbohydrates for fuel due to appetite suppression induces the body to use fats for energy. N-methyl-phenylethylamine, methylsynephrine, and theobromine in Acacia rigidula promote fat breakdown and subsequent weight loss.

Beta-adrenergic systems control lipolysis, or fat breakdown, during stressful periods and intense physical activity. The alpha-adrenergic system is in control during periods of rest.

L-Carnitine L-tartrate: L-Carnitine is a natural compound that is found in avocadoes, dairy products, beef and lamb. Of course, if you are on a restricted diet and trying to burn off some extra fat, you may not be eating those foods in large amounts.

That's where supplementation can help. Taking an L-Carnitine supplement will support your overall goal of losing fat, and it may improve your workout performance to help you get better results. L-Carnitine works by potentially helping to convert fatty acids into fuel your body can use for energy, while at the same time promoting growth and development.

As you can see, Ripped Power, is a good formula for you to lose weight and increase your metabolic rate. Ripped Power is popular because it feel good abilities and fat burning power.

Women and GHR-15


Many women think that taking growth hormone products is just for men, but I would like to toss in my ten cents on this thought. I have taken HGH products originally wanting to help increase recovery for my workouts and help me sleep better.

One thing that women need to know about HGH products before I carry on is that most HGH products don’t have real HGH in them. They have ingredients that help people increase Growth Hormones.  So this means that it will not cause extra crazy hair growth or looking like a man.

Like I mentioned previously, I originally started taking HGH products for muscle developing reason but I soon realized that my hair looked healthier and my skin was smooth and looked great. I was taking GHR-15 which many lifters don’t know about and is originally designed for the elderly. It worked great for me, I recovered faster and my skin and hair looked better after a month of taking it.

I usually don’t recommend taking bodybuilding supplements to women who are looking to get in shape, but GHR 15 works great and is a great supplement for health purposes.

So how does GHR-15 work?

HGH, or somatotropin, is the most abundant hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, a process which peaks during adolescence. Gradually, this hormone secretion diminishes with age. By the time you reach the age of 60, you may only secrete 25% as much as the average 20 year old. This greatly contributes to the acceleration of the aging process.

HGH is primarily released during the beginning phases of sleep. It is quickly converted by the liver into the growth-promoting metabolite somatomedin C, then circulated through the body. Most of the beneficial effects of GHR15 are directly associated with somatomedin C. Since somatomedin C is vital in instructing cells to produce protein and repair themselves, low levels have been clearly linked to the aging process.

I have recommended GHR-15 to some men and they have told me that they like the results that they get from it. Growth Hormones are not meant for everyone, but if you are an athlete and are wanting to improve your overall performance check out this product and let me know what you think.

BPi BLOX: Muscle Builder

One of the newest products on the market is BPi Blox Silk Amino Acids. This is supposedly a synergistic blend of amino acids that help build muscle and retain muscle mass. Whether you are a women or a man, this is a very important role in lifting. Women don’t worry this doesn’t mean that you will blow up and get all big and bulky like men, what it does mean is that on your low calorie diet you will be able to preserve muscle tone while burning fat, which is one of the biggest dilemma for women while dieting. Where are the amino acids that create BLOX.

Alanine: Plays a major role in the transfer of nitrogen from peripheral tissue to the liver; aids in the metabolism of glucose, a simple carbohydrate that the body uses for energy; guards against the buildup of toxic substances that are released into muscle cells when muscle protein is broken down quickly to meet energy needs, such as what happens with aerobic exercise; strengthens the immune system by producing antibodies. 

Glycine: Retards muscle degeneration; improves glycogen storage, thus freeing up glucose for energy needs; promotes a healthy prostate, central nervous system, and immune system; useful for repairing damaged tissue and promotes healing.
Serine: Needed for the proper metabolism of fats and fatty acids, the growth of muscle, and the maintenance of a healthy immune system; is a component of the protective myelin sheaths that cover nerve fibers; is important in RNA & DNA function and cell formation; aids in the production of immunoglobulins and antibodies.

Valine: Is needed for muscle metabolism and coordination, tissue repair, and for the maintenance of proper nitrogen balance in the body; used as an energy source by muscle tissue; helpful in treating liver and gallbladder disease; promotes mental vigor and calm emotions.

Threonine: Helps maintain proper protein balance in the body; is important for the formation of collagen, elastin and tooth enamel; aids liver and Lipotropic function when combined with Aspartic Acid and Methionine; prevents the buildup of fat in the liver; assists metabolism and assimilation.

As you can see these key amino acids called BLOX are used to help preserve muscle and rebuild muscle while working out. This is a great addition to the active individual who is looking to get ripped or put on size and recovery faster. Bpi BLOX can be used by anyone that is used to consuming amino acids, which is any and every individual. I hope to give BLOX a try sometime in the near future. If you try it please leave a comment to let me know what you think of it.
