HMB 

General Uses:

HMB (hydroxy-methylbutraye) is a natural compound produced in the body in very small amounts and can be found in foods like catfish and alfalfa.  HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine, and numerous studies have shown it to be a precursor of cholesterol.  A very small protion of leucine in the body is converted to HMB at a rate of about 0.2-0.4 of per day.  

HMB plays a significant role in the synthesis of muscle tissue, and it helps to reduce body fat in response to exercise – this is achieved indirectly from the gain in lean body mass, which oxidizes fatty acids.  

Anabolic Benefits:

“The effects of dietary supplementation with the leucine metabolite beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) were studied in two experiments…In conclusion, supplementation with either 1.5 or 3 g HMB/day can partly prevent exercise-induced proteolysis and/or muscle damage and result in larger gains in muscle function associated with resistance training.”

“Although nutritional supplements purported to increase muscle mass are widely available at health food stores, gyms, by mail order, and over the Internet, many of these supplements have little or no data to support their claims. This article reviews the theory and research behind popular nutritional supplements commonly marketed as muscle mass builders. Included are the minerals chromium, vanadyl sulfate, and boron, the steroid hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), beta-methyl-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), creatine, protein supplements, and amino acids…Preliminary work on HMB supports an anticatabolic effect, but only one human study is currently available.”

“Nutritional strategies of overfeeding, ingesting carbohydrate/protein before and after exercise, and dietary supplementation of various nutrients [e.g. protein, glutamine, branched-chain amino acid, creatine, leucine, beta-hydroxy beta-methyl-butyrate (beta-HMB), chromium, vanadyl sulfate, boron, prasterone (dehydroepiandrosterone [DHEA]) and androstenedione] have been purported to promote gains in fat-free mass during resistance training…Furthermore, glutamine, creatine, leucine, and calcium beta-HMB may affect protein synthesis. Creatine and calcium beta-HMB supplementation during resistance training have been reported to increase fat-free mass in athletic and nonathletic populations…”

“Beta-hydroxy-beta-methyl butyrate (HMB), a compound formed during catabolism of leucine, was fed to 256 crossbred steers as 0 or .03% of diet dry matter. Effects on performance, carcass characteristics, and tissue composition were measured…Steers receiving HMB tended to have less (P < .08) s.c. fat and fewer steers with yield grades of 4 or greater (1.6 vs 4.7%). Supplementation of HMB to feedlot steers tended to increase (P < .07) the ratio of intramuscular fat to subcutaneous fat. Steers fed HMB had higher (P < .001) blood plasma concentrations of HMB (3.06 vs 1.70 mg/L) and lower (P < .03) blood plasma concentrations of cholesterol (108.4 vs 118.7 mg/dL). Feeding HMB tended to increase (P < .10) lipid content of the longissimus muscles of those steers slaughtered at 105 d.”

“Amino acids such as leucine and its metabolite alpha-ketoisocaproate (KIC), are returning to be the focus of studies, mainly because of their anti-catabolic properties, through inhibition of muscle proteolysis and enhancement of protein synthesis. It is clear that these effects may counteract catabolic conditions, as well as enhance skeletal muscle mass and strength in athletes. Moreover, beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) has been shown to produce an important effect in reducing muscle damage induced by mechanical stimuli of skeletal muscle. This review aims to describe the general scientific evidence of KIC and HMB supplementation clinical relevance, as well as their effects (e.g., increases in skeletal muscle mass and/or strength), associated with resistance training or other sports. Moreover, the possible mechanisms of cell signaling regulation leading to increases and/or sparing (during catabolic conditions) of skeletal muscle mass are discussed in detail based on the recent literature.”

Eurycoma Longifolia (Tongkat Ali) 

Eurycoma Longifolia, also know as both Longifolia Jack and Tongkat Ali, is a tall, slender shrub-tree commonly found in Southeast Asia.  Malaysian men claim that tea made from this plant improves their sexual abilities and virility.  As a result, this plant is in such high demand that it is now considered a "protected" species.

 
GENERAL USES: 
The root and bark of Eurycoma longifolia are used for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) and increasing interest in sex.  Eurycoma longifolia is also used for fever, malaria, ulcers, high blood pressure, tuberculosis, bone pain, cough, diarrhea, headache, syphilis, and cancer.  Multiple sexual dysfunction studies have conclusively proved its ability to significantly increase testosterone levels, making it an invaluable ingredient in any Test augmenting formula.   

ANABOLIC BENEFITS:

“AIM OF THE STUDY: The root of Eurycoma longifolia Jack, native to South East Asia, has long been used as a male aphrodisiac remedy to treat sexual disorders. In the study we evaluated the influence of Eurycoma longifolia Jack on sexual behavior (including both motivation and copulatory performance) of sexually sluggish and impotent male rats…Testosterone serum levels were increased in rats subacutely treated in comparison with controls. CONCLUSION: Eurycoma longifolia root improved sexual performance but not motivation in sluggish rats after acute or subacute administration. The effect could be mainly ascribed to increased testosterone levels.”

“It has been reported that Eurycoma longifolia Jack commonly known as Tongkat Ali has gained notoreity as a symbol of man's ego and strength by the Malaysian men because it increases male virility and sexual prowess during sexual activities. As such, the effects of 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of butanol, methanol, water and chloroform fractions of E. longifolia Jack were studied on the laevator ani muscle in both uncastrated and testosterone-stimulated castrated intact male rats after dosing them for 12 consecutive weeks. Results showed that 800 mg/kg of butanol, methanol, water and chloroform fractions of E. longifolia Jack significantly increased (p<0.05) the leavator ani muscle to 58.56+/-1.22, 58.23+/-0.31, 60.21 +/-0.86 and 62.35 +/-0.98 mg/100 g body weight, respectively, when compared with the control (untreated) in the uncastrated intact male rats and 49.23+/-0.82, 52.23+/-0.36, 50.21+/-0.66 and 52.35+/-0.58 mg/100 g body weight, respectively, when compared to control (untreated) in the testosterone-stimulated castrated intact male rats. Hence, the pro-androgenic effect as shown by this study further supported the traditional use of this plant as an aphrodisiac.”

Carnosine

Carnosine is a combination of two important amino acids, beta-alanine and L-histidine, and often goes by the compound name beta-alanyl-L-histidine, which occurs naturally in the human body (mainly in muscle) and can also be found in many animals.  Although carnosine can be easily broken down into its two components, the remarkable thing is that these two amino acids work much more efficiently combined than separately.  First discovered in 1900 in Russia, its incredible properties have only recently been recognized following several research projects in Russia, Japan, Australia, UK and USA. 

General Uses:

Carnosine has the unique ability to rejuvenate cells, i.e. to make old cells younger and extend their life-cycles.  Carnosine is the only compound commercially available that possesses this very rare and unique ability. It also:

• binds to harmful metal compounds and inactivates them turning the resultant carnosine/metal compound into useful antioxidants that in become anti-ulcer agents
• stabilizes and protects cell membranes, helping to protect the cells from harmful free radicals
• protects healthy cells from radiation damage (certain cancer treatments)
• acts as a neuro-transmitter - a chemical that helps messages jump from one nerve to another, that helps boost memory and fight dementia (Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease).
• allergy fighter
• improves blood flow to brain
• blocks activation of guanylate cyclase - an enzyme linked to asthma, migraine, septic shock and cancer
• special carnosine derivatives can clear the build up of abnormal protein and sugar compounds in the eye - various forms of these can lead to cataracts, glaucoma and Macular Degeneration
• acts as a catalyst to enhance the work of numerous other nutrients and compounds

Anabolic Benefits: 
From a fitness perspective, a very interesting aspect to carnosine is its ability to aid in blocking the accumulation of lactic acid.  Lactic acid is the substance that literally triggers the pain in muscles after periods of intensive exercise.  Carnosine, when taken before and after exercise, can reduce and often even eliminate this aching pain.  It has also been demonstrated to

“The role of the presence of carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) in millimolar concentrations in human skeletal muscle is poorly understood. Chronic oral beta-alanine supplementation is shown to elevate muscle carnosine content and improve anaerobic exercise performance during some laboratory tests, mainly in the untrained…The aims of the present study were to investigate if performance is related to the muscle carnosine content and if beta-alanine supplementation improves performance in highly-trained rowers…After beta-alanine supplementation, the carnosine content increased by 45.3 % in soleus and 28.2 % in gastrocnemius. Following supplementation, the beta-alanine group was 4.3 s faster than the placebo group, whereas before supplementation they were 0.3 s slower (p=0.07). Muscle carnosine elevation was positively correlated to 2000 m performance enhancement (p=0.042 and r=0.498). It can be concluded that the positive correlation between baseline muscle carnosine levels and rowing performance and the positive correlation between changes in muscle carnosine and performance improvement suggest that muscle carnosine is a new determinant of rowing performance.”
