My strength has gone through the roof with MaxxTOR In only 8 weeks I increased my strength on my bench
and squats over 50% while getting ready for a Physique Contest. I gained 8.5 lbs. of lean muscle and lost
11.7% body fat. When I saw the results of my In Body scans at my local Max Muscle store after only 8 weeks of
using MaxxTOR I was floored. MaxxTOR is an incredible product!
Every time I took MaxxTOR I could feel my strength increase. My bench went from 145 to 215 for 8 reps in the
8 weeks I used this product. I also noticed that my mental focus was tremendous. I was so focused on my
workout. I have never accomplished so much at the gym and I have seen major changes in my body. I have
really noticed how toned my body has become. I have lost body fat and gained muscle which is right on track
with my personal goals. I am hooked on MaxxTOR!
When I started taking MaxxTOR, I noticed a dramatic increase in my energy levels. It helped me push past the
burn and get the extra two or three reps that really tear it up. Before MaxxTOR I weighed in at 168lbs with 9%
body fat. I followed a strict diet plan and trained hard every day in the gym using MaxxTOR as my pre-workout.
At the end of 8 weeks, I weighed 175lb with 5.58% body fat! I gained 12lbs of lean muscle and a shredded
3.42% body fat! Im extremely satisfied with the results Ive gotten using MaxxTOR and will continue to use it.
From the first time I started taking MaxxTOR Iwas hooked. I felt that I could lift all day! I didnt want to leave
the gym! After the first week, there was a noticeable improvement and it just kept getting better. The number of
plates and sets kept increasing and my weight started to decrease. At the age of 47, I am in the best shape of
my life. I never imagined that I could be this fit & healthy and have single digit bodyfat!
While taking MaxxTOR I noticed my strength has increased more rapidly than it had ever before. In only
8 weeks I was able to drop almost 8 pounds of fat and still gain quality lean muscle. In the past I had always
sacrificed lean muscle when losing body fat. This was not the case with MaxxTOR . This is an incredible
product that really works.

ENERGY. We
all want more of
it. That's because
most of us work
too much, sleep
too little, go, go,
go and then we
feel drained all the
time. Sometimes
we seek bad
behaviors just
to get a short-
lived boost of fake energy. This issue is all about
increasing your energy levels in healthy ways. And
believe it or not, as stated multiple times throughout
this magazine, some of the simplest things you can
do is to drink more water, get enough sleep every
night and eat wholesome foods. Just ask our cover
model this month. On pages 24-25, she shares her
top hve tips for boosting energy. Nax Nuscle CEO
and founder Joe Wells offers some of his favorite tips
as well (pg. 12).
Beyond that, you can turn to herbs with rather
funny-sounding names that are quite powerful
when it comes to energizing you from within. Find
out more about them on pages 47-48. Or, discover
delicious ways to make your own energy drinks
using foods and beverages such as coconut water,
peanut butter, chia seeds, pomegranates and green
tea. Conduct your own taste-test session using the
recipes featured in this piece (pgs. 52-54) and say
goodbye to carbonated, sugary energy drinks.
Perhaps your lack of oomph is stemming from
adult ADHD. Can't focus, can't work, can't organize
or arrive on time for your appointments? You might
want to consider asking your doctor to get evaluated
for ADHD. This article explains what it is and what
you can do about it (pgs. 17-19). Bonus, an ACE-
certihed expert shares two workout circuits geared
toward helping people with ADHD.
In every issue we try to highlight individuals with
compelling stories. Each of the three featured in
this issue have completely different stories, but one
common theme ... they kept on going and never
gave up. Find out all about their inspiring journeys
on pages 37-41.

EXCITING
THINGS are
happening at Max Muscle!
NEW PRODUCTS! Max
Muscle nation is buzzing over
the recent introduction of
the hrst product in the new
MPRO Series: MaxxTOR.
Customers all over the
country are reporting amazing
results from MaxxTOR in
only 8 weeks. In fact, the
results Max Muscle customers
have been getting using MaxxTOR are, in most cases, exceeding the
muscle gains, fat loss and strength gains that test subjects achieved
in the University of Tampa study. This is real-world validation that the
MaxxTOR formula, which includes the key ingredient Mediator PA from
the study, is even more powerful at producing results than from just
using PA by itself.
Im excited to announce that Dr. Phil Harvey, the head of the Product
Development Team at Max Muscle, has created the next product in
the MPRO Series: MiTOR! MiTOR has been designed to support the
optimal energy-producing functions of the mitochondria to power the
body. Dont let this confuse you with typical energy products in the
marketplace that are generally stimulants. MiTOR is not a stimulant, but
rather supports the production of chemical energy within the body to
power all living processes. MiTOR has been specially designed to work
in conjunction with the MaxxTOR formula to help our customers achieve
even greater results. So, if you are one of the fortunate ones who have
already benehted from NaxxTOR, be sure to add NiTOR to your stack to
optimize the results you will get from MaxxTOR. MiTOR is available now
in Max Muscle stores across the country and online at MaxMuscle.com.
NEW SPECIALS FOR EVEN GREATER SAVINGS!
If you havent noticed yet, Max Muscle has gotten even more promotional.
In addition to our monthly BOGOs and Quarterly Stack Specials, each
week Max Muscle is now offering additional ways for our customers to
save. Be sure to check out MaxMuscle.com every week for the Max Deal
of the Week, which offers one of our high-quality MMSN products at 40
percent off! We'll also feature a weekly New at Max discount.
Did you know that we offer a full line of Nutraceuticals? If youre
buying your vitamin C or probiotics somewhere other than Max
Muscle, be sure to check out the new special savings each week on
Max Nutraceuticals and compare the cost and quality to what youre
currently using.
NEW MAXFORM WINNERS!
Right now the selection process is taking place for the MaxForm Life
Challenge Top 25 from this years contest. As I write this, I have not
seen all of the nominations from across the country but I can tell you
from the ones that I have seen, the quality and results from these
contestants are amazing. !t is certainly going to make it very difhcult
for the judges this year to come up with the $25,000 MaxForm Life
Challenge Champion. Stay tuned as we plan to announce this years
winner SOON!

FORMER MS&F COVER MODEL
SPEAKS AT THE ARNOLD
The Arnold Schwarzenegger Fitness Festival is the largest tness expo of its kind in the United States. More
than 120,000 people travel to attend events and workshops at this special annual extravaganza.
Twenty-two years ago tness innovator Dr. Jack Barnathan created with Arnold Schwarzenegger and
the International Chiropractors Association Council on Fitness & Sports Health Sciences a special educational
program for doctors and elite tness professionals with workshops led by the best experts in the world. The
keynote for each yearly event has been Mr. Schwarzenegger himself.
Karen Mullarkey was one of seven invited experts to serve as a panelist in the presentation immediately
following Mr. Schwarzeneggers keynote address this year. Topics included innovations in client motivation,
nutritional design, anti-aging and community education. Karen Mullarkey is an internationally respected
expert in tness, sports and wellness design, and we were proud to have her as a part of this special
workshop event," said Dr. Barnathan.Her insights and innovations will help countless doctors, tness
professionals and those they serve grow in so very many ways.
Mullarkey has appeared on the cover of MS&F and currently has an article in this issue (pgs. 26-28).
She is a tness consultant working one on one with clients in Arizona, and internationally as a guide to the
advanced tness enthusiast and pro athlete, with specialties in winter tness and pro golf support.
HOOKED ON EMERGE!
Peter Ghiloni won a cannister of Emerge at a tasting we had and
was hooked after that. Peter has come up with sayings about
Emerge. His rst one is, "Emerge takes the pain out of weight loss."
His second saying is, "Emerge is a trainer's worst enemy. You don't
even need a trainer if you have Emerge."

NEVER LET AGE
BE A FACTOR
My tness journey took me to competing at
the NPC Masters Bikini back in May 2013.
Since then I have competed in a total of
four shows, bringing home three 1st places
trophies with 1 overall and one 5th place
at the Master classes. ... At my age, I was
hesitant and never thought I could step on
stage for a tness competition. With the help
and support of my Coach/Nutritionist Kenny
Tali at Max Muscle (Walnut Creek, CA), I can
honestly say that age is no factor in tness.
As long as you have the ability to remain
consistent in your efforts, you stay dedicated,
and have the heart and attitude, then you can
truly accomplish anything.

We all want extra energy. These
simple steps often get overlooked
on a daily basis, yet they can
easily boost your energy levels
dramatically.
Make sure you drink plenty of
water throughout the day. Water
is literally a miracle worker when it
comes to overall health and energy.
Its great for your digestive and
circulatory system. Your skin craves
water, especially if you live in the dry
western states. Weight-loss gurus
usually recommend daily intake
of water of at least - 1 gallon
throughout the day. Fill up a water
bottle or jug every morning and
sip it throughout the day. Dont be
surprised to see your energy levels
jump up quickly.
Get in the habit of working out
daily. I like to start my day by
going to the gym every morning.
After a few weeks of going, it
becomes habitual and you feel bad
if you dont go. You can also plan
a 20-minute walk daily. Right after
lunch is a great time to jump-start
your metabolism. Early afternoon is
also great, as it helps you head off
the afternoon blues while getting
\RXU EORRG RZLQJ 7KLV FDQ OHDG
to a more productive afternoon,
FOREVERYOUNG
while increasing your overall health,
metabolic rate and, of course, energy.
Also make yourself walk a little extra
every day. Park a couple hundred yards
from the store you're walking into.
Instead of stressing about getting a
good spot, park further away and enjoy
a little extra walking. Take the stairs
when you have an option. Believe it or
not, you can easily burn a few hundred
extra calories daily by doing this.
Make sure you have healthy
snacks ready to take to work or
school. Keep snacks like carrot sticks,
fresh fruit, raisins, nuts, yogurt etc. in
ready-to-go bags or containers at all
times. When you keep healthy snacks
conveniently available, you will eat
them. This will help you conquer the
emergency cravings for a candy bar
when you feel famished before or after
lunch. These smaller energizing snacks
will again lead to a faster and healthier
metabolic rate, which also increases
your energy level.
Cut back on soda and coffee. While
these drinks may give you a fast blast
of energy, the overall net energy you
have will be less. These drinks tend
to spike your energy levels for a short
time and then you have an energy
crash that slows down your metabolic
rate.
Shop for low-calorie and low-
sugar snacks. These days, we have
so many great products that are low
in sugar, calories and fat. They taste
great and we can keep our blood sugar
levels from spiking and causing us to
store fat! Lower-calorie snacks with
at least 8 grams of protein are great
alternatives.
Get enough sleep. When you wake
up refreshed, you will think clearer
and have more energy. Attitude and
energy is vital when you are focusing
on accomplishing your goals.
By following these simple and
healthy steps we can dramatically
increase our energy levels. Also stop
by your local Max Muscle Store and
pick up one of our new Hydration Jugs.
These jugs serve as a healthy reminder
to drink your water daily. So energize
yourself today in a natural, healthy
way! MS&F

FOR YOUR
MEMORY, TOO?
Most people are aware that long-term

stress, such as that experienced after
the death of a loved one, may contribute
to health problems, such as anxiety,
weight gain, high blood pressure and
digestive problems. But a new study
from the University of Iowa shows a
potential link between stress hormones
and the development of short-term
memory loss as we age.
The study, which was performed on
rats, looked at blood levels of cortisol, a
natural hormone that helps us respond to
lifes challenges with alertness and quick
thinking. What they found: older rats with
high cortisol levels performed poorly on a
maze exercise using short-term memory
skills, while elderly rats with lower cortisol
levels performed almost as well on the
maze exercise as young rats. Young rats
performed equally well on the maze
regardless of cortisol levels.
While the study authors acknowledge
there are many factors that play a part in
mental decline and short-term memory
loss, the research suggests that stress
hormones may lead to weathering of
the brain that may eventually cause such
problems. They also say that this may be
an important reason to treat people for
conditions that cause high cortisol levels,
such as stress and anxiety.
Until more research is done, it wont

Have you ever obligingly chuckled at a colleagues joke that you didnt nd the least bit funny?
Well, chances are, she knows that youre faking it. Researchers from UCLA found that study
participants who listened to recordings of genuine and forced or fake laughter were able to pick out
the spontaneous laughter about 75 percent of the time and the fake laughs about 66 percent of the
time.
Laughter is an important social tool for both humans and animals, said the study authors. It helps
us to signal to others that we are not a threat and that we want to be friends. So if you force out a
laugh or two in the appropriate situation, it isnt always wrong or unappreciated. But take note: Even
children older than age ve or six can tell when youre faking it.
FAKING YOUR MIRTH DOESNT FOOL ANYONE
Are you addicted to the sun? If you love to spend long

hours at the beach basking in the sun despite the known
risks of sun exposure you just might be, say researchers
from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard
Medical School.
According to the study, chronic exposure to ultraviolet
(UV) radiation releases endorphins, feel-good hormones
that cause pleasure (and relieve pain) by activating
opioid receptors through the same pathway activated
by prescription painkillers, morphine and heroin. In the
study, rats exposed to UV light for six weeks showed
increased endorphin levels in the blood, along with physical
dependence, tolerance and addiction-like behaviors.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in
the United States, and UV-seeking behavior is a major
risk factor for skin cancer. The study authors note that
many who are UV-seeking also meet clinical criteria for a
substance-related disorder, giving more credibility to the
possibility of an addictive mechanism at play in sun-
worshipers.
The study may help public health educators to direct
skin cancer education to UV-seeking people, helping them
to understand that the decision to protect their skin or the
skin of their children may take a more conscious effort on
their part than it may take for others.

maybe you're so buried in Post-It notes
that you don't know which way is up. Or

on your desk, but you can't even get past
the rst sheet of paper.
Do you have chronic trouble with
forgetfulness, disorganization, listening

attention dehcitfhyperactivity disorder
(ADHD). If you think that ADHD is
just a kids diagnosis, youre mistaken,
said Stacey Spencer, EdD, a clinical
neuropsychologist practicing in New
Jersey. Four and a half percent of
adults have ADHD, she explained. The
focus in the media is on children with
this disorder; we tend to overlook the
symptoms adults have that may also
indicate ADHD.
The disorder may be under-
recognized for several reasons,
according to Stephanie Sarkis, PhD, a
Florida psychotherapist and author of
four books on adult attention dehcit
disorder. While mental health experts
know today that adult ADHD is merely
a continuation of childhood ADHD,
some adults were never diagnosed as
children, so are unaware they have

the condition. When you have a lot
of structure in your day to day life and
your parents are in control of things,
the symptoms arent always obvious,
said Dr. Sarkis. But once you start
college or a job and youre left to
your own devices, they start to cause
problems.
Another problem, added Sarkis,
is that even if youre aware you had
ADHD as a child, the symptoms
change in character from childhood
to adulthood, being somewhat more
subtle and making the diagnosis more
difhcult. Some of the hyperactivity
turns into an inner restlessness, she
said. You cant just relax and watch
COULD IT BE ADULT ADHD?
TIPS FOR COPING WITH ADULT ADHD
Many of the challenges we all face both in the workplace and at home are even more difcult for those with adult ADHD. Here are
some tips from the experts for coping:
Choose your career wisely, advised David Sack, MD, psychiatrist and CEO of Elements Behavioral Health in California. People with
ADHD have trouble with management jobs due to lack of organization and inability to sit still and focus. Yet they may be much
more successful at a job in sales or contracting, where they can move around and be in the moment.
Take advantage of technology, suggested Stephanie Sarkis, PhD, a Florida psychotherapist and author of four books on adult
attention decit disorder. Go as paperless as possible to reduce the clutter and help remind you of things, she said. Use your
phone calendar and to do list, use apps for travel packing and shopping, use money management software, direct deposit and
automatic bill payment.
Enlist help, even if you have to hire someone to help with organization, light cleaning and necessary paperwork, said Dr. Sarkis.
Friends can also help you manage impulsive behaviors by providing feedback about what they see and help you to practice more
positive behaviors.
See a therapist, in addition to taking prescribed medications, said Dr. Sack. Behavioral therapy is a cornerstone of ADHD
management. It can help with the frustration of living with the disorder, and with social skills training.
Break tasks down into small pieces. Study or work on a difcult task for a half hour, then go outdoors and take a walk,
recommended Dr. Sarkis. Exercise helps you to raise the brain chemicals you need to help you focus.
television, for example. Youre itching
to do something else, so you have to
talk on the phone while watching.
ADHD can wreak havoc in an

accidents and marriage problems,
among other issues, according to Dr.
Sarkis. Basically, theres a big gap
between ability and performance, she
explained.
David Sack, MD, psychiatrist and
CEO of Elements Behavioral Health in
California agrees. People with adult
ADHD are less successful than their
intelligence would predict, he said.
They have ongoing problems with not
getting work done on time, missing
deadlines, forgetfulness at a job or at
school usually because they didnt

place. At home, in a relationship, they
may even forget to pick up the kids
from school or child care.
The good news, said Dr. Spencer, is
that adult ADHD can be diagnosed and
treated, both with medication and with
behavioral therapy. Beware, though, of
self-diagnosis. There are lots of online
tests you can take to see if you have
ADHD, she said. But its important to
talk to a mental health professional, a
human being, to have a dialogue about
your symptoms, so that you can be
treated appropriately.
Making the Diagnosis
These days, weve become accustomed
to high tech tests, such as imaging,
to help doctors make a diagnosis. But
while some research suggests that

dopamine (one of the building blocks
of norepinephrine), and other theories
purport that those with ADHD have a
different theta/beta brain wave ratio
than those without the disorder there
is no biological test at this point that
can conclusively diagnose the disorder,
said Spencer. According to Dr. Spencer,
the best way for a mental health
professional to diagnose adult ADHD
is by conducting an interview with the
patient and his or her family members,
using criteria from the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,
(DSM-5), published by the American
Psychiatric Association, a listing of
certain symptoms that may be present
in those with ADHD.
Because adult ADHD is believed to be
a condition that has been present since

childhood, the diagnosis is fairly easy
for those who have been diagnosed
previously. But In adults who werent
diagnosed with the disorder during
childhood, it can be a little trickier, said
Dr. Spencer. We need to look back to
middle childhood to identify symptoms
that may give us clues of ADHD.
This, she explained, may be done by
examining school records to identify
grades that were lower than might have
been expected, or behavioral problems.
:H DOVR WDON WR D VLJQLFDQW RWKHU
maybe a spouse or a parent, who can
help to identify both past and current
symptoms that the person may not
recognize.
Sometimes, a diagnosis of adult ADHD
may come as a surprise, added Dr.
Spencer. Many times, people with adult
ADHD seek help for other problems that
go hand in hand with the disorder, such
as anxiety or depression, she explained.
The best advice? If you have any
symptoms that are interfering with your
job or relationships for more than a brief
time, see a mental health provider, said
Dr. Spencer. MS&F

Extraordinary solutions to ordinary problems. This was the goal from the
very beginning of the X-Series created by Max Muscle Sports Nutrition.
Helmed by Dr. Phillip Harvey, the elite team of scientists that comprises Max
Muscles research and development team wanted to create ultimate solutions
to everyday problems that plague society. These same scientists are the ones
behind the cutting-edge formulas youve come to expect from Max Muscle
Sports Nutrition. For years now, their purpose has been to optimize the health,

2TX: If the X-Series is Max
Muscles Manhattan Project,
2TX has to be the first atom
bomb. 2TX by MMSN
represents the elite arsenal in
testosterone amplification and
age-related hormonal support.
2TXs innovative and science-
based formula is strategically
designed to promote the
powerful natural testosterone mechanisms within the
male body, releasing testosterone from binding transport
proteins, optimizing steroid receptor binding capacity,
and blocking unwanted estrogen production. The key
ingredients in 2TX have been shown in human clinical
trials to increase free (unbound and bioavailable) testos-
terone by 98 percent. Free testosterone is the only form
of the hormone that binds to androgen receptors
resulting in both anabolic and androgenic effects.
Androgen binding then activates a cascade of biological
mechanism for protein synthesis, tissue growth,
increased bone density and muscle strength. The best
analogy is if youre driving a hot rod, and for some
reason, you were unable to floor the gas pedal and go
as fast as possible, that would represent low testoster-
one. Through a natural means the 2TX enables you to
floor your bodys own natural testosterone production,
thereby enhancing your levels to the highest possible
rate, naturally possible.
Who Is It For? Testosterone levels begin to decline
in the late third or early fourth decade and diminish at a
constant rate thereafter. Steeper declines occur in
unbound or free testosterone. Lower testosterone levels
is a major risk factor for a multitude of metabolic and
mental health conditions. 2TX was designed as a natural
solution to this problem of low T. 2TX effectively serves
as the bridge between your own production and boosting
your testosterone from an outside source, all the while
keeping everything natural. 2TX can be used by any male
over the age of 30 suffering from diminishing testoster-
one levels or anyone looking to optimize their own health
and fitness to reach their goals.

-48 The MTX was created
to be the sister product to 2TX
for testosterone support.
MTXs innovative and
evidence-based formula is
driven by the premier patented
ingredient Myotestoserone.
Myotestosterone has been shown in published rigorous
clinical studies to significantly increase testosterone
levels in healthy men. MTX delivers clinically validated
doses of Myotestosterone along with powerful synergis-
tic ingredients to get the results you expect from a
top-shelf Max Muscle product. Whereas 2TX is primarily
herbal based, using the all-natural, plant-based, Testo-
furenol and Testofen as its core root ingredients (in
addition to its own synergistic blend of ingredients), the
Myotestosterone in MTX is sourced from an entirely
different ingredient, D-Aspartic Acid. D-Aspartic Acid
(DAA) is a physiological amino acid occurring principally
in the pituitary gland, neuroendocrine tissues, and the
male testes. MTXs own version of this, Myotestoster-
one, is so potent that in many cases it has been shown
to take effect in as little as three days!
Who Is It For? MTX shares a similar core audience
and intended user base as 2TX. The primary concern
and thus objective of MTX is to aid in the production of
testosterone through natural means. In fact, studies
have shown that through natural means the MTX and
2TX, when combined, can work in conjunction to free a
higher sum of molecules for the bodys testosterone
production. Its also a good idea to try one or the other
to see which one garners the greatest effect from your
body, and in most cases, users should feel tangible
benefit from both. If this is the case, the best way to
bulletproof your hormone levels and quality of life is to
take them both. As with any new dietary supplement, be
sure to contact your local Certified Fitness Nutrition
Coach for proper dosing and safety.

Nutrition developed ADRX for
advanced adrenal support.
ADRX is a scientifically-based
formula delivering comprehen-
sive nutritional support for
healthy adrenal function. The
ADRX formula was designed to
promote optimization of the
adrenal hormones and reset
adrenal homeostasis. It is an ideal formula for post
thermogenic and/or high-stimulant cycles and periods.
The adrenals are major endocrine glands in the body and
produce a variety of hormones in response to both acute
and chronic stress. During acute stress, the adrenals
secrete both adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline
(norepinephrine). These hormones are involved in the
bodys fight or flight response. The adrenals also
produce corticosteroids, such as glucocorticoids and
mineralocorticoids in the response to chronic stress
using carbohydrates, proteins, and fats as fuels and
regulating fluid plus electrolyte (salt) balance within the
body. The plant adaptogens contained within ADRX are
compounds that increase the ability for humans to adapt
to environmental stressors. These adaptogenic herbs
have been used for hundreds of years, especially in
traditional medicine. The combined effect of the various
natural, plant-based herbs in ADRX provide multi-
functional support for general mental and physical
wellness. Furthermore, anti-fatigue and anti-stress
effects are both primary benefits of the formulation, in
addition to other benefits, including immune support,
nervous system support, relaxation promotion, healthy
cortisol activity and mood balance.
Who Is It For? The ADRX formula was designed to
reset adrenal homeostasis and promote optimization.
ADRX delivers comprehensive nutritional support for
healthy adrenal function, effectively making it the most
advanced and clinically validated formula from Max
Muscle for overall adrenal health. Anyone who regularly
takes high-amounts of stimulants, including caffeine can
inherit great benefit. Additionally, anyone looking to
improve their overall general health and enhance their
recovery should consider including this product in their
own nutritional lineup.

at Max Muscle set out to create
a comprehensive product for
advanced gh endocrine
secretagogue support. GHTX
is the result of their efforts; a
scientifically-based formula to
provide the body with precur-
sors to support healthy levels of
growth hormone (GH) and
insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) along with neuromus-
cular optimization and cognitive enhancement. Mediated
by GH and IGF-1 enhancement, GHTX was formulated to
increase lean body mass and muscle power output,
promote anabolic intervention, and enhance rapid
recovery. GH is an anabolic protein hormone secreted
by the pituitary gland in thebrain and is responsible for
the overall growth of the body (e.g. muscles and bones),
fat breakdown, other metabolic effects, and maintaining
the immune system. GH stimulates the release of the
hormone IGF-1 by the liver. The secreted IGF-1 then
travels to tissues and is the key player in muscle growth.
Who Is It For? Beginning at age 20, GH levels
decline progressively and have been linked to many
age-related changes including decreases in lean body
mass, increases in abdominal body fat and thinning of
the skin. Optimizing the bodys naturally-occurring levels
of GH becomes paramount the more one ages. In order
to age gracefully, precautions must be taken in order to
maintain a healthy anti-aging regimen. GHTX provides
users with a natural boost to their own levels of GH.
Anyone over the age of 20 can take GHTX and it should
be considered a requirement for anyone over the age of
40, unquestionably.

WAYS
TO REV
UP
YOUR
ENERGY
Growing up I have always been very
active. Dance and gymnastics were my
life from age 6 all the way through high
school. As a young adult I became an NFL
Cheerleader for the Arizona Cardinals, spent
5 years on the team and received the honor
of Pro-Bowl Cheerleader in 2005. While I
was cheering, I was also going to school and
working part-time so it was important to keep
my energy up, but I always felt tired. Living on
processed foods and energy drinks, I could
never gure out why I always felt sluggish and
zapped of energy. In 2007, I married my
husband, who is a personal trainer, and slowly
I began to learn from him how to modify
my eating and exercise habits. In 2013, I
decided to take my tness to another level and
competed in my rst bikini competition. After a

few weeks of training, I felt better than I ever have in
my life. I had long-lasting sustained energy,
my skin was glowing and overall I felt
t and healthy. I realize now how
important it is to eat right and
take care of myself because
as a busy working mom I
need energy to get through my
workday, take care of my family
and fuel my workouts.
You don't have to be a tness
competitor to feel better or look better,
but you can help boost your energy
levels with some of these tips:
1
EAT CLEAN,
WHOLESOME FOODS
Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day
helps keep my energy up. I try to eliminate
processed foods and I do not skip any meals.
I also try to eat foods that are high in magnesium such as
almonds, whole grains and hsh.
2
EXERCISE
I try to exercise 4-5 times per week and integrate a
mix of weights and cardio, but on days I cannot make
it to the gym, even a brisk 20-minute walk boosts my
energy for hours.
3
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
I make sure I stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Even the slightest amount of dehydration can make you
feel sluggish. A simple way to hgure out how much
water you should drink per day is to take your weight
and divide by two. This is the amount of water measured in
ounces that you should drink per day.
4
SLEEP
This sounds like a no-brainer, but sleep is so
important when trying to boost your energy
levels. Even a 20-minute power nap can make
you feel rejuvenated.
5
REDUCE CAFFEINE INTAKE
A cup of coffee or energy drink may give you
a temporary rush of energy, but too much
caffeine can have an adverse affect such
as dehydration, anxiety, difhculty sleeping
and emotional fatigue. Try to keep caffeine and high
sugary energy drinks to a minimum or eliminate them
altogether.
Living a healthy and t lifestyle is important to me and
my family and these are some simple tips that help me
boost my energy and feel better. Power up your life by
trying these yourself! MS&F

TRAIN
HARD
WITH
TRX
If you still haven't tried
suspension training, it is
time you learn! You're killing
two birds with one stone
by hitting specic body
parts and your core. Any
athlete will benet from TRX
training. Who would have
thought moving your own
body weight could be so
challenging? Another great
thing is that you can travel
with a TRX Suspension
Trainer if you are on the go.
All you need is a solid place
to suspend it and then get to
work!
I started working with a
TRX about three years ago
and have noticed signicant
changes in my core strength.
It helps with overall balance,
core and whatever body
part you choose to blast! Try
the following exercises to not
only sculpt your upper body
but to also give you the abs
you have been dying for.

Try each of the listed exercises in a super-set fashion. Do 12-15 reps for a total of 4 sets. Once you have nished one rotation take
a 30 second rest and repeat. You should be shaking to the core once you are nished!
REAR DELTS
Grip the straps with palms
facing the hoor. The further you
angle your legs towards where
the TRX is mounted the harder
the exercise. Start at a slight
angle with your feet together
and then increase it as you gain
core strength. You should have
all of your body weight on your
heels, don't stand hat footed. Be
sure and keep your hips forward
and abs engaged as you pull the
handles in towards your body,
while keeping your elbows out.
Once you reach the top of the
movement be sure and squeeze
your rear delts. Slowly release
your arms back to the start
position while keeping your hips
forward and abs engaged.
ROW
Begin in the same start
position as you did for the
rear delt exercise except
your palms will be facing
each other. Again, keep
your hips forward and
abs hexed throughout
the movement. Pull the
straps in at your sides
and squeeze the middle
of your back as you reach
the top of the movement.
Slowly release back to
the start position while
keeping your core tight.
TRX CORE AND UPPER BODY BURNOUT
BICEP CURL
Start in the same position
as the two previous
movements except your
palms will be facing the
ceiling. Keep your elbows
up on this movement
and slowly curl the straps
toward your forehead
while squeezing your
biceps. Release back to
the start position while
focusing on keeping your
abs engaged. If you start
to lose form, press the
grips against one another,
which makes it easier. You
should feel a good burn in
\RXU ELFHSV E\ \RXU QDO
reps.
CHEST PRESS
Begin gripping the straps
ZLWK SDOPV IDFLQJ WKH RRU
and feet together. Instead
of leaning back, you are
going to lean forward for
this exercise. Again, the less
angle you have the easier the
movement, so make sure you
start shallow and deepen it
as you get stronger. Focus on
keeping your abs engaged
and your body in one straight
line as you go down into
the chest press. Once your
arms reach 90-degree angles
and you feel a good stretch
through your chest, slowly
press back into the start
position. Be sure not to let
your glutes raise on this
movement by keeping your
hips forward.
Now that, my friends, is an intro to TRX training! If you
are an athlete like myself and are looking to better your
performance by increasing core strength, be sure and
hit the TRX. There are numerous full body exercises you
can do with suspension training so dont limit yourself,
just make sure you keep good form. I work at least one
TRX exercise into my program every day I lift. Dont be
scared to try something different, you just might love the

MENTALLYFIT By Benjamin Russack
Eight years ago, I was a good 80 pounds overweight
when I walked into a gym offering Brazilian Jujitsu, an
aggressive grappling art involving chokes, arm locks
and throws. Ten minutes into the warm up, I was
already utterly exhausted and in a good deal of pain.
Two hours later, I literally crawled off the mat, nearly
hyperventilating, my gi soaked with sweat, my hair looking
as though I had just stepped from the shower.
I was hooked.
I immediately began attending 4 to 5 days a week.
Every night, I struggled with sore muscles and copious
bruising, wincing as I stooped to tie a shoe or lay down
to sleep. Still, never once did I think, I cant do this, I
cant go back. Instead my thoughts were, Training today
was so amazing! I cant wait to do more! I was not on
any special diet. I had no personal trainer. I had never
even heard of a sports drink. All I knew is that every
time I walked into that gym I felt a drive and ambition to
participate and perform. Now, nearly a decade later, I am
down from a size 55 to a 34 pants, I have endless energy,
I can run for miles and at age 39, and I am in the best
shape of my life.
My belief is that the key to locating a seemingly
unlimited supply of energy and endurance has less to do
with exercise and diet, but rather with one thing and one
thing only: passion.
QUIT
YOUR
GYM

Bored with your gym routine?
Lost the drive to work out?
Find something new and get
excited about it!
But what does passion look like?
How will you know it when you see
it? Well, for one thing, passion does
more than simply challenge your
limits: it utterly destroys them. In
the presence of passion, you may
hnd yourself abandoning all sense
of reason and rational thought.
Take rock climbers and surfers, for
example. Anything that gets you up at
4 a.m. with a potential mortality rate
to catch a giant crashing wave or to
climb a rock so steep and so perilous
where even goats wont go, can only
be rocket-fueled by passion. Parkour,
the art of hopping buildings without
the aid of super powers, is also an
option for the true beasts among us.
And for this particular maniac, when
someone is trying break my arm,
choke me unconscious or simply crush
me senseless under a mass of sweat,
bone and hair, let me tell you, nothing
else compares.
I dont mean to suggest that
you literally quit your gym, forgo
protein powders or avoid that
designer sports drink, rather that
you allow your newfound passion to
supercharge your healthy lifestyle.
For example, in my gym, those who
love Brazilian Jujitsu the most are the
same individuals who consistently
practice the healthiest eating and
exercise habits. They often pair up
to go running or lift weights, or to
simply trade healthy dieting tips.
Lean meats, brown rice and steamed
vegetables are the staple of the
driven Brazilian Jujitsu practitioner.
Jason Bovie, a BJJ brown belt and
former Pan American Champ stated,
All the top competitors have to work
out constantly and eat right. If they
dont, its simple: they lose.
Nikyo Riggs, BJJ black belt and
owner of Marin MMA in San Anselmo,
California holds a similar opinion: A
healthy diet and exercise regimen
is the surest way for my students
to mitigate chance of injury, excel
at their sport and live long, healthy
careers as martial artists.
Mr. Riggs approach holds true for
any sport. As a matter of fact, it holds
true for pretty much anything. Even
chess champions often hit the gym
and focus on their diet in order to
keep their minds clear as they sit in
utter stillness for long periods during
a tournament.
Therefore, my advice is simple:
go hnd the thing you are passionate
about. ! don't care what it is, from
soccer to hiking the Appalachian Trail
to back hipping over parked cars. The
point is, your mission is to get out
there and discover the thing that sets
you on hre. Do this now. The rest are
details. MS&F

It's Not
OVER
'Til It's
OVER!
By Andrew J. Medina Photos by Joe Medina

One of the most coveted grappling
tournaments on the planet took place
from May 29th - June 1st at the iconic
Blue Pyramid in Long Beach, CA. The
IBJJF Worlds is aptly named as it literally
brings the best of the best in Brazilian Jiu
Jitsu from all over the globe. So it was
with months of training and preparation
that Max Muscle Fullerton (California)
sponsored athlete Edwin Najmi entered
the tournament.
FIGHT DAY
Edwin is an elite level featherweight purple
belt who trains under multiple-time world
champion Romulo Barral. Leading up to the
Worlds, Edwin was a juggernaut in winning
every tournament he had entered. I felt
amazing, everything went right, he said.
Training, weight cut, mental preparation
I felt like I was hitting a stride. I was
dehnitely expecting to get the gold medal in
my weight class.
!t was with this conhdence that Edwin
methodically tore through his hrst four
opponents via submission on his way to the
hnal hght. !n the championship match he
faced a familiar opponent.
I had beaten my opponent four times
before and I think that made me a little
over conhdent. ! made a mistake in strategy
that cost me the hght," Edwin admitted. He
fought with a good game plan and congrats
to him for that.
What could have been a world title and

the elation that comes with it, quickly turned into shocking
devastation. One year prior, Edwin had been disqualihed in the
same competition on a questionable call by a referee for an
alleged illegal leg lock. Edwin now had two shots at redemption.
He would either have to wait a year or enter the absolute
competition. The absolute competition is essentially an open
weight tournament within a particular belt class. Edwin (a
featherweight) could hght a super heavyweight and anyone in
any weight class in between. No featherweight in the history of
the Worlds has won the absolute.
AN ABSOLUTE WIN
Losing my weight class was the worst feeling Ive felt in my
life, Edwin said. The absolute wasnt a thought as I was so
focused on my weight, and as a featherweight its tough to
compete with those huge guys. But after that loss I was sitting
there just devastated and thought to myself, There is no way
I can wait one more year to have the chance to win a World
Championship. So I went on a mission, I signed up for the
absolute and fought with everything I had!
After hghting hve hghts in his weight class earlier in the
day, Edwin now faced the monumental task of hve more in the
absolute. Its a clich, but sometimes one must fail in order
to succeed. Edwin took that frustration from his loss and let it
loose on his competition. He submitted four of hve opponents,
including a gorgeous hying triangle in the hnal to become the
hrst featherweight to win an Absolute World Title.
I can easily say winning the absolute and becoming a World
Champion is the best moment in my life thus far, Edwin said.
There are no words to describe that feeling. All the sacrihce
and hard work, training nearly everyday two to three times a
day for almost 4 years of not medaling at the Worlds. Then
being the hrst featherweight to win the absolute made it that
much more special.
ON SUPPLEMENTS
I take several supplements from Max Muscle. I would say
High 5 Protein, Full Blown Extreme pre workout and Max ARM
are my favorites. Nax ARN is dehnitely the best supplement
Ive ever taken. It is truly the ultimate post workout/recovery
supplement. I train up to 5 hours a day so I heavily rely on Max
ARM to get me through my week of training. I cant imagine my
recovery and training without it. MS&F

Kristian Aleixo
sophomore in high school my mother
died suddenly of diabetes. She just
went into a diabetic coma one day and
didnt wake up. I thought I was given a
death sentence.
Forced to reevaluate his life with a
diagnosis of Type I Diabetes, Kristian
did a lot of soul searching. I put the
rest of my life into the context of I
have this disease that could kill me and
I decided that I needed to do things
that made me really feel alive, he
said. I recognized that was what I felt
like when I was driving that car. And I
decided then that I wanted to do this
but on a bigger scale.
Kristian said he refused to succumb
to the disease like his mother so
WUDJLFDOO\ GLG +H JXUHG RXW ZKDW KH
needed to do to deal with the disease
and then back to being productive with
his life.
TURNING POINT
It was at this point in his young life that
Kristian recognized that if he was going
to deal responsibly with his Type I
Diabetes and follow his dreams he was
going to have to manage his nutrition
and health. This was when I decided
I better get to it, Kristian said. I
attacked it.
TRAINING LIKE A PRO
Kristian not only spends hours a day
training on the track, he also works
directly to support his sponsors, market
his brand and manage his health. He
trains extensively in the gym. This
requires 100 percent dedication and
discipline.
In the gym, Kristian must focus on
core development and arm strength
training. The amount of strength
required to race at this level is amazing.
Kristian said, Did you know that a
drivers reaction time is equivalent to
that of a Major League hitter swinging
at a 95 mph fastball, his heart rate
is just two beats shy of an Olympic
swimmer during the 1,000 meter?
Because of his Type I Diabetes,
Kristian has to carefully manage
his nutritional needs and focuses
on a healthy mix of protein and
carbohydrates. This gives his body
the fuel it needs to perform as the
elite athlete he is in the same way his
racecar has to be properly maintained
and managed with fuel.
Turning a wheel faster than Albert
Pujols swings a bat, maintaining the
heart rate of an Olympiad for hours and
wrestling with a Silverback in a cage
takes the hardcore conditioning to be
expected of any professional athlete,
and I for one, take my training very
seriously, Kristian said.
TIPS FROM THE PRO
1. Planning is essential. If you have
a meal game plan already in place,
you are less likely to grab whatever
you can get your hands on.
2. Prepare your own food as often
as possible. This is the only true way
to control whats going in. Also, if you
can, set aside a day or few hours one
day a week and pre-package your
meals for the next 7 days.
3. Hydrate. Too many of us are being
active with less than optimal hydration.
Studies show that even being just
5 percent below target has effects
that could wreak havoc on the bodys
function and performance!
4. Keep a journal of what you
ingested and how it made you feel.
Read it back at the end of the day.
Increase the things that made your
body feel better and nix the things
that made you feel sluggish and tired.
5. Stay away from alcohol. The

and therefore has an extremely

6. Keep a positive mental attitude
about why youre eating the way you
do! Its a battle, but just remember
that in the end it will be worth it!

At rst, Natalie Hernandez, 30, from
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, started making
healthy choices for her son. As a single mom
to a young teenager, she started to realize
her lax approach to health and tness were
having a negative impact on his health when
she realized they were both out of shape and
overweight. Natalies weight had steadily
increased since her early 20s, and much of
that could be attributed to a lack of activity
and excessive eating and drinking. She
couldnt believe it when the scale topped out
at 196 pounds. When her son started getting
teased for his weight Natalie knew it was
time to make tness a priority in their home.
THE CHANGES
Natalie started by cleaning out her entire
kitchen of every bad thing" including
butterfoils, sweets, pasta, etc. She
replaced these convenience foods with
fresh produce and lean meats and she
started walking. At hrst, she incorporated
daily walks around the lake near her
home. !n time this increased to short
runs, stairs and eventually strength
training, running and kickboxing. Clean
eating became second nature and her
new healthy living changes became family
habits.
As she focused on physical activity and
clean eating, her body started to respond,
and before she knew it other women were
coming to her asking for help with their
htness. Her co-workers noticed the major
changes even before Natalie did, one day
pointing out that she needed new pants
because her old ones were literally falling
off her.
Once her body started responding to
all her healthy changes she was the last
to notice that her body was changing
immensely through building lean muscle
and shedding the unwanted fat!

Along the journey Natalie has learned to create great tasting,
healthy meals that both she and her son love. Check out
her favorite protein pancake recipe it is one of her sons
favorites.
Whole Wheat Protein Pancakes
- cup Eating Right Whole Wheat Pancake Mix
1 Egg
1-2 scoops protein powder (the more protein, the less
pancake mix)
1cup Unsweetened Almond or Coconut Milk
The recipe calls for oil but its perfectly ne without it, she
said. Adjust the mix/protein/milk ratio according to the
consistency/thickness you desire.
Whisk all the ingredients together. Scoop onto a LOW
preheated, un-greased, nonstick pan. Cook about 1 minute
on each side.
I usually eat these plain but for a little treat, Ill drizzle a
tad of agave nectar over them, Natalie said. I have tried
this with MaxPro Tiramisu, MaxPro Chocolate and High 5
Strawberry. All are delicious but my fave is strawberry! My
son loves them and begs me to make them!

TAKE A SWING
Unleash your inner competitor on the court and take a swing at a sport guaranteed to get your heart rate up, improve your mental
strength and your hand to eye coordination. Plus, people who participate in tennis three hours per week (at moderately vigorous intensity)
cut their risk of death in half from any cause*, according to physician Ralph Paffenbarger, who studied over 10,000 people over a
period of 20 years. That sounds like a good enough reason to us and weve got the gear to get you going!
THE SHIRT
Worn by the Fila tennis players in the Australian Open, this
shirt from the new Fila mens Center Court Collection comes
in white, black and, our favorite, a blazing yellow. And,
its understated, but sections of the embossed poly interlock
fabric give a subtle futuristic snakeskin look to the shirt.

THE RACKET
The Juice 100S racket is designed to deliver
maximum power for the widest range of styles.
A little something the folks at Wilson call Spin
Effect Technology allows players to add over
200 RPMs of rotation on every shot (in other
words, more spin) without changing their
swing. $199, WilsonTennis.com
THE WRISTBANDS
Those pros on the court sport wristbands for more than just
style. Absorbent ones like these Nike Swoosh Doublewide
Wristbands keeps sweat from running down your arms and
helps wipe sweat from your forehead. And trust us, you'll be
sweating. $8, Amazon.com
THE SHOE
Designed for the competitive player, the Rush Pro shoe offers
superior performance, t, and a low to the ground feel of the
court. Its design provides easier acceleration, and along with
innovative forefoot stability, it supports quick stops and changes
of direction. $130, WilsonTennis.com
THE SHORTS
The Adidas Mens Spring
Barricade short provides
comfort and style when
it comes to court wear.
Featuring an internal
draw cord and elasticated
waistband for a secure t,
these shorts also have a

Rhodiola
RHODIOLA
Rhodiola rosea (also known as golden root) has been used traditionally
in European countries to hght fatigue, improve immunity and enhance
work performance. Both men and women who have used rhodiola
supplements also reported benehts of improved mood and more
energy.
A 200+ Belgian study found a dose of rhodiola rosea taken one hour
before exercise improved endurance in young healthy volunteers. !t is
best taken early in the day because it may interfere with sleep during
the hrst weeks of use.
Available in capsules, teas, extracts and powder form.
CIWUJIA
Also known Eleutherococcus senticosus and Siberian ginseng, ciwujia
has been used for centuries in parts of Asia and Russia. !n traditional
medicine, ciwujia was given to prevent colds and hu. This adaptogenic
root was also known to increase energy and vitality due to its content
of eleutherosides, compounds thought to stimulate the immune system,
reduce fatigue and enhance performance.
A study published in the Chinese Journal of Physiology" examined
the effects of ciwujia on college tennis players over an eight-week
period. The group who had taken +00 mg of ciwujia twice a day
showed an improvement in cardiovascular function and endurance with
no increased fatigue when compared to the group who had been given
a placebo.
Available in capsules, teas and powdered form.
Restore your stamina with a
healthy, natural boost!
Energy. Who couldnt use a little
more from time to time? It gets us out of
bed in the morning, through our workout,
workday and beyond. We know the best
way to keep our energy stores lled up is
getting a good nights sleep, exercising
and eating a healthy, balanced diet. A
fantastic goal ... but not always a reality.
While it may be tempting to turn to
a double espresso when youre feeling
depleted, youll more than likely still
be left feeling worn down after the
caffeine jolt wears off. A natural energy
boost, though, can be just the jumpstart
the doctor ordered. Herbs known
as adaptogens are a unique type of
multi-tasking plant that help your body
adapt to stress, as well as amping up
energy levels and promoting an overall
sense of balance. To be classied as an
adaptogen, the substance must also not
cause any negative side effects. Here
are ve examples of these natural stress-
relieving pick-me-ups.

ASTRAGALUS
In Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM), astragalus membranaceus is
a well-known herb said to tonify
or strengthen a persons Qi
(translated as vital energy.)
Active ingredients from the
astragalus plant have been
studied extensively over the
past several decades and it has
shown to be effective for treating
heart conditions, preventing damage
to skin from UV rays, improving insulin
resistance and a variety of other
benehts. Until recently, few studies
using astragalus had looked at the
possibility of its use in decreasing
fatigue.
A Taiwanese study published in
March of this year measured the effect
of astragalus supplementation on
exercise-related fatigue in mice.
The results were positive,
showing enhanced performance
and less fatigue in mice who
had received the supplement than those
who had not. Further clinical studies
are necessary to determine if the same
ergogenic effects would be seen in
humans.
Available in capsules, teas and
extracts.
ASHWAGANDHA
Ashwagandha root, commonly known
as Indian Winter Cherry, has been used
for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine
as a rasayana or rejuvenating herb.
A number of clinical studies have
conhrmed the ashwagandha root's
benehts for reducing stress and anxiety.
Ashwagandha is also prescribed
for arthritis, to boost energy and to
treat a variety of neurodegenerative
diseases such as Parkinsons disease
and Alzheimers. Several studies have
suggested that ashwagandha root
supplementation improves hemoglobin
and red blood cell count (important
in assessing athletic performance). In
2012, a study from India looked at 40
elite cyclists who had taken either an
ashwagandha root extract supplement
twice a day for eight
weeks or a placebo.
The athletes taking
the ashwagandha
root extract
showed improved
cardiorespiratory
endurance relative to
the athletes who had been
assigned to the placebo group.
Available in capsules and teas.
SCHIZANDRA
This small red berry has been getting
its share of attention in the news of
late. Native to eastern Asia, these
hve-havored berries are sweet, sour,
salty, bitter and pungent at the
same time. Because of its
odd havor prohle, you
wont see people
eating these berries
like blueberries or
raspberries, but you
will see the berries ground into a
hne powder and used in a number of
medicinal preparations.
In traditional medicine, schizandra
chinensis has been used to improve
energy, mental health, respiratory
issues such as asthma and coughing, as
well as kidney problems and diarrhea.
Russian studies have shown that
supplementing with schizandra have
improved performance in skiers,
gymnasts and other competitive
athletes.
Available in capsules, dried berries

According to the International Association of Sports Sciences, exercise falls
into two key categories: anaerobic and aerobic, with aerobic exercise involving
more endurance type activities such as long distance rowing, skating, cross-country
skiing, jogging and long-distance swimming. Regular exercise in any form requires
the support of good nutrients to replace needed glycogen stores and repair muscle.
When it comes to aerobic endurance sports, focus on nutrients that can provide
a positive energy balance and help retain muscle mass both during and after
exercising.
For sustained energy during an endurance workout, eat smaller quantities of
slow-releasing carbs and natural sugars. Energy bars can be effective during a
workout, but read labels carefully and avoid bars with unnatural sweeteners. Post-
workout, focus on protein such as chicken breasts or make turkey burgers and skip
the bread, serving instead in lettuce cups with brown rice, quinoa or barley.

FOODFOCUS By Rochelle Marapao
People today are busier than ever before. With the
demands of careers, families, relationships and hobbies, most
of us are running on fumes just to keep up. Luckily, energy
drinks are available everywhere to provide that boost of energy
needed to get through the day and perform when it counts.
The History of Energy Drinks
Throughout history, people have used various beverages to
feel that extra burst of energy. During that time, trends have
changed from tea to coffee to soft drinks and back again. But,
just as people have long sought out drugs more powerful than
caffeine, they now seek soft drinks with additional energy-
boosting chemicals.
Enter energy drinks. From 2008 to 2013, the energy drink
market grew 60 percent, totaling $12.5 billion in U.S. sales
in 2013. In fact, according to the Energy Drinks and Shots:
Market Trends in the U.S. report, sales of energy drinks and
shots will grow to $21.5 billion by 2017, driven by continued
economic recovery, expansion in retail distribution and strong
potential in new product development.
But despite the markets recent explosion, energy drinks
arent a new concept. In fact, theyve been around since
the days of the early soda fountain. The hrst energy"
drink could actually be considered Coke since it originally
contained both caffeine and another stimulant cocaine
when launched in 1886. The soft drink carries that history
to this day the companys name, Coca-Cola is derived
from the ingredients: the coca plant from which cocaine
is derived and the kola nut, the source of caffeine. Coca-
Cola's founder used hve ounces of coca leaf per gallon of
syrup, but it was reduced to a tenth of that in a later recipe.
Cocaine was removed from Coke in 1903.
How They Work
Energy drinks are supposed to do just what the name implies:
BOOST
ENERGY
naturally!
Forget about sugary
carbonated energy
concoctions in a can.
Whip up some of these
yummy, healthy energy-
boosting ingredients for
a refreshing lift!
WATERMELON
WORKOUT DRINK
Who doesnt love watermelon?
Try this recipe as a post-workout
recovery drink to help prevent sore
muscles and boost your energy
levels!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup watermelon, cubed
1 cup coconut water
A squeeze of lime
Dash of salt to bring out sweetness in
watermelon
DIRECTIONS
Take all ingredients and blend well in
blender. Drink immediately as drink
will separate.
give you an extra burst of energy. As it
turns out, most of that energy comes
from two main ingredients: sugar and
caffeine. A typical energy drink can
contain up to 80 mg of caffeine (about
the same amount as a cup of coffee).
By comparison, a 2011 study found that
the average 12-ounce soda contains 18
to 48 mg of caffeine.
Other than caffeine levels, how do
energy drinks differ from sodas and
sports drinks? Soft drinks are mainly
water, sugar and havoring. They don't
do anything for your body; they're just
supposed to taste good. Sports drinks
are designed to replenish huids lost
during activity. They typically contain
water, electrolytes and sugar. Energy
drinks have added caffeine and other
ingredients that their manufacturers
say increase stamina and boost
performance. They're designed for
students, athletes and anyone else who
wants an extra energy kick.
Here are some of the ingredients
found in popular energy drinks and
what they do to the body:
Ephedrine A stimulant that works
on the central nervous system. It is
a common ingredient in weight-loss
products and decongestants, but there
have been concerns about its effects on
the heart.
Taurine A natural amino acid
produced by the body that helps
regulate heart beat and muscle
contractions. Many health experts
aren't sure what effect it has as a drink
additive.
Ginseng A root believed by some
to have several medicinal properties,
including reducing stress and boosting
energy levels.
B Vitamins A group of vitamins that
can covert sugar to energy and improve
muscle tone.
Guarana Seed A stimulant that comes
from a small shrub native to Venezuela
and Brazil.
Carnitine An organic acid that helps
supply energy for muscle contractions.
Inositol A member of the vitamin B
complex (not a vitamin itself, because
the human body can synthesize it) that
helps relay messages within the cells in
the body.
Ginkgo Biloba Made from the seeds
of the ginkgo biloba tree thought to
enhance memory.
Although the manufacturers claim
that energy drinks can improve your
endurance and performance, many
health experts disagree. Any boost you
get from drinking them, they say, is
solely from the sugar and caffeine.
Caffeine works by blocking the
effects of adenosine, a brain chemical
involved in sleep. When caffeine blocks
adenosine, it causes neurons in the
brain to hre. Thinking the body is in
an emergency, the pituitary gland
initiates the body's hght or hight"
response by releasing adrenaline. This
hormone makes the heart beat faster
and the eyes dilate. It also causes the
liver to release extra sugar into the
bloodstream for energy. Caffeine affects
the levels of dopamine, a chemical in
the brain's pleasure center. All these
physical responses make you feel as
though you have more energy.
Energy drinks are generally safe,
but like most things, you should drink
them in moderation. Because caffeine
is a stimulant, consuming a lot of it
can lead to heart palpitations, anxiety
and insomnia it can also make you
feel jittery and irritable. Caffeine is also
a diuretic and causes the kidneys to
remove extra huid into the urine, which
leaves less huid in the body, so drinking
an energy drink while exercising can
be dangerous. The combination of the
diuretic effect and sweating can be
severely dehydrating.
Natural Alternatives
Instead of splurging on commercial
energy drinks, you can easily make
your own at home for much healthier
alternatives and skip the artihcially
colored energy drinks and pasteurized,
highly-processed, rehned juices in cans
or bottles. Not only can you save money
making these at home, but you'll have
the satisfaction of knowing exactly
which ingredients are going into them
and prepare them to your liking.
Here are a few basic ingredients you
can use when concocting your own
energy drinks:
Coconut water is potassium-rich
and nature's best isotonic drink. !t
also contains the same amount of
electrolytes that we have in our blood
and contains less sodium than sports
and energy drinks. Coconut water also
contains lauric acid which is present
in breast milk and is known to boost
metabolism.
Watermelon is packed with
L-citrulline, an essential amino acid
that helps to prevent/reduce muscle
soreness and improve recovery time
3 Easy Things You Can
Do To Up Your Energy
GET ENOUGH PROTEIN. Most
people do not get enough protein in their
diets and that is often the number one
reason for fatigue! Protein shakes can make
your life easy. You dont have to think, plan
or cook just drink and go! Be sure to look
for a high-quality whey protein shake that is
not high in calories and has no fat, minimal
carbs and is low in sugar. Our pick: Max
Muscle Triple Whey Protein (26g protein,
130 calories).
SLEEP MORE. Plan your life around
your sleep schedule to get as much sleep as
possible. Getting enough rest is the very best
way to slow aging and feel great, and there
is nothing more powerful as a good nights
sleep!
DRINK WATER! We all need to consume
a minimum of eight glasses of water daily
to hydrate our bodies. If we are even a little
dehydrated, our metabolism can slow down
up to 3 percent! If you think water is too
boring, ll a large pitcher full of cold water
and add slices of lemons, limes or oranges to
make it more appealing so youll drink more!
PROS OF ENERGY DRINKS

specically benecial for those who are

energy drinks suffer from irregular and rapid
heartbeat as well as an increase in blood
pressure levels.

Advanced Glutamine Complex Works Wonders!
How Does It Work?
The Product Development Team at MMSN
has specialized in high quality glutamine
supplements for over a decade, and
GlutaMatrix raises the bar to take it to
the next level with GlutaTri Triple Fusion
technology, an advanced proprietary blend
consisting of four unique forms of glutamine.
Additionally, the formulation is in a buffered
matrix that is pH balanced to support optimal
absorption. L-glutamine is the original free
form amino acid compound which easily

crosses the gut to reach the blood
stream. Glutamine peptide is a more
stable form of glutamine and it can
be delivered more rapidly due to its
peptide nature. Acetyl-L-glutamine
is a new and unique form of delivery
in that the Acetyl group is useful for
replenishing brain neurotransmitters
after a hard workout. Glutamine
Ethyl Ester is also new, and the Ethyl
Ester delivery is well known in the
pharmaceutical realm, as it assists in
enhanced absorption into cells.
Glutamine is in high demand
throughout the body and is involved
in many metabolic processes. It is
considered a workhorse amino acid.
As the most abundant amino acid in
skeletal muscle, glutamine is often
depleted due to overtraining, stress
and poor diet. Research indicates that
body builders, htness and strength
athletes, and other active people often
do not produce enough glutamine
within their liver to restore critical
glutamine levels within a reasonable
time frame following training, states
Max Muscle Sports Nutrition's Chief
Science Ofhcer Dr. Philip Harvey.
Supplemental glutamine is critical
to minimize muscle breakdown and
repair heavily trained muscles and
support the natural production of
human growth hormone, which is also
important to muscle recovery and
gains. Glutamine also supports the
immune system and allows for more
intense training.
Research suggests that more
frequent dosages of glutamine
throughout the day are more effective
than larger, less frequent dosages at
providing support for Growth Hormone,
muscle recovery and immune function.
GlutaMatrix provides an easy and
convenient way to achieve this
continuous intake throughout the day.
How Do I Take It? Who Is It For?
For the ultimate recovery from
exercise, consume 1 scoop of
GlutaMatrix post-workout. With the
unhavored formula, GlutaNatrix offers
the convenience of being able to mix
the product with any type of beverage
easily. I take GlutaMatrix because it
helps me keep up with my training
demands, says personal trainer Elias
Saleh. The glutamine blends provided
by GlutaMatrix are unlike anything
else Ive ever tried, and thats a good
thing!
For added general health benehts, it
behooves the user to consume another
serving of GlutaMatrix for a second
serving at a different time during the
day, regardless of exercise timing.
GlutaMatrix can be added to other
recovery products, such as MMSNs
ARM (Anabolic Recovery Matrix).
GlutaMatrix can be combined
with essentially any other sports
performance product for a substantial
competitive edge," maintains Dr.
Harvey.
Furthermore, glutamine has such a
wide array of general health benehts
that it is recommended to make
glutamine supplementation an integral
part of your nutritional lineup. This is
where GlutaMatrix reigns supreme.
Due to its inclusion of multiple-
sourced glutamines, it is comparable
to consuming an immediate serving
of glutamine, followed by an interim
and third serving as well. But you
don't have to do that with GlutaMatrix.
This not only makes GlutaMatrix more
effective, but more cost effective as
well.
Certihed nutrition coach Narc
Backovich makes GlutaMatrix a
staple of his and his clients nutrition
regimens for digestive health.
Glutamine has a synergistic effect
with more commonly used digestive
health supplements, such as probiotics
and digestive enzymes. Glutamine
supplementation rounds out the effect
these have on the G.I. tract, making it
a must for digestive health. I rank it up
there with a multivitamin and hsh oil in
terms of importance.
Train hard and get the most from
your workouts with GlutaMatrix.

Dairy Products May Be Most Efective in
Targeting Metabolic Syndrome (MetS)
MetS is characterized by obesity, dyslipidemias, hypertension and hyperglycemia,

and impacts 34 percent of the U.S. adult population. Nutrition scientists at the
University of Connecticut, Storrs evaluated data from epidemiological studies and
clinical interventions suggesting that one or more dairy components might directly affect
MetS parameters. Researchers found that calcium reduces
body weight by modulating vitamin D concentrations in
plasma and activating genes involved in fatty acid synthesis
and reducing those involved in lipolysis. Peptides present in
milk have been associated with blood pressure reductions.
BCAAs may increase post-prandial insulin secretion
and regulate plasma glucose levels, and leucine, an
abundant amino acid in milk, may be responsible
for decreased plasma glucose through modulation of
mTOR. Through different proposed mechanisms, dairy
nutrients may target all components of MetS. (Dugan CE,
Fernandez ML. Yale J Biol Med. 2014 Jun 6;87(2):135-

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ)
Inuences Mitochondrial Energy-
Related Metabolism
Scientists at University of California, Davis set out to evaluate the

effects of PQQ on mitochondrial energy-related
metabolism. Two studies were conducted that
included 10 subjects (5 females, 5 males) each
taking PQQ administered as a daily dose.
PQQ supplementation resulted in signicant
antioxidant function (TBAR) and decreases in
indices of inammation (C-reactive protein,
IL-6, and urinary methylated amines, and
N-oxide) consistent with enhanced mitochondria-
related functions. All standard clinical indices
were normal. The data are among the rst to
link systemic effects of PQQ to corresponding
mitochondrial energy-related metabolic effects in
humans. (Harris CB, Chowanadisai W, Mishchuk
