TAKE THE RIGHT WHEY: ALL-NATURAL, rBGH-FREE IDEAL WHEY

GI Nutrition launches its all-new, safe, and improved whey protein

Image 

Allendale, NJ (February 2012) – Whey protein is proven to be an essential workout supplement because it contains glutamine and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) that fuel working muscles and stimulate protein synthesis in the body.1 But which whey protein is best to take? Because whey is a milk derivative, it is important to find out the source: the cow itself. Like any mass-produced product, milk is usually processed in large facilities where cows are often given daily injections of various, harmful compounds such as synthetic recombinant bovine growth hormone, or rBGH, used to increase milk production. This compound is not only harmful to cows but also can link to negative affects in humans.2 Before the milk is even curdled and strained to become whey, it is already inorganic and adulterated.
 
The all-new Ideal Whey™ from GI Nutrition is a welcome exception. It is 100% all-natural, rBGH-free, and NSF Certified for Sport.
 
“We are proud of how Ideal Whey has all the good stuff in and the bad out,” says Alex Karsos, co-founder and CEO of GI Nutrition. While many companies compromise the health and safety of their products to profit, GI Nutrition adheres to a strict moral code of integrity and accountability. “We make sure we do things right for our customers – without shortcuts,” Karsos attests.
 
Clinical studies have shown that milk products from rBGH-treated cows increase the risk of breast and colon cancers.3 According to Karsos, most of the whey protein market uses whey protein that is sourced from rBGH-treated cows. “This is practiced because it is the cheapest and most widely available source,” he explains. Ideal Whey, on the other hand, is made from all-American cows that are raised organically and rBGH-free. “Sourcing rBGH-free whey protein may be more logistically-difficult and expensive, but the quality is far superior, better for the cows and therefore, better for consumers.”
 
Whey protein is a valued supplement among serious athletes as it is considered the highest quality protein available and helps to increase strength and reduce recovery time1. With 24g of solid and fast-absorbing protein, Ideal Whey is packed with both essential and non-essential amino acids, including glutamine and BCAAs. Its low-fat and high quality whey protein content allows for easy absorption that is perfect for post workout consumption.
 
Naturally-sweetened with stevia, Ideal Whey contains no artificial colors, flavors, or other harmful chemicals.As an alternative, Stevia is 10-15 times sweeter but without the unhealthy drawbacks of regular table sugar, giving Ideal Whey’s “Crazy Chocolate” flavor a delicious and healthier edge over other protein supplements.
 
And, because GI Nutrition understands whey protein is a key nutrition factor for individuals involved in sports or athletic training, Ideal Whey is NSF Certified for Sport. “Earning this certification goes beyond prestige,” Karsos explains. Being NSF-certified means that Ideal Whey goes through a series of testing to make sure that it conforms to competition regulations— free of adulteration, contaminants and banned substances. “If you are an athlete, coach, parent, or a health conscious individual, rest assured that when you take Ideal Whey, what is on the label is in the product,” he adds. Ideal Whey is a stand out example of safe, trusted, and effective products GI Nutrition is known for.

POWER UP SAFELY WITH IDEAL PUMP™
GI Nutrition pre-training product provides all-natural strength without the dreaded MHA
 Image
Allendale, NJ (January 2012) – There is one compound ingredient that is being touted as the “scary beast” in the dietary supplements industry. And it is not the flattering kind, but rather a dangerous one.I It is methylhexaneamine (MHA), a compound developed by pharmaceutical chemist Eli Lilly more than 50 years ago as a nasal decongestant drug. Today, MHAis showing up in a growing number of pre-workout sports nutrition supplements and being labeled as a constituent of geranium oil. The problem, though, is this: geranium oil does not contain MHA.II Knowing such health risks like high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and heat stroke posed by MHA, New Jersey-based GI Nutrition developed its MHA-free Ideal Pump™ as part of its line of nutrition-based products.
In a 2006 article, The Washington Post quoted the Anti-Doping Research Group and wrote that the chemical structure of MHA is akin to amphetamines and ephedrine. With MHA, also known as 1,3 dimethylamylamine (or DMAA) found in popular pre-workout sports supplements and taken mostly by high school and college athletes as part of their training regimen, the danger and risk of an overdose and possible death is imminent.

Ideal Pump is a healthier alternative to DMAA-laden sports supplements and other nutritional products in the market today. It is the ultimate source of pre-training fuel and power, enabling athletes to experience elevated levels of strength, endurance, drive and concentration. With a powerful combination of Creapure® pure creatine monohydrate for enhanced muscle output, CarnoSyn® beta-alanine for increased endurance, L-Tyrosine and taurine for intensified mental focus, caffeine and B vitamins for increased energy and metabolism, and L-Arginine and L-Citrulline for amplified source of nitric oxide, Ideal Pump delivers intense training, high boost of energy, and resistance to burnout and fatigue.

“It is dangerous and irresponsible for companies to put out products in the market that pose health risks to consumers,” warn Alex and Chris Karsos, founders of GI Nutrition. “Because DMAA is banned by the World Anti-Doping agency, those taking nutrition products that carry DMAA as part of their training regimen might see an end to their sports career too early, too soon.”

The Karsos brothers developed Ideal Pump not only with optimal sports performance among athletes in mind but to also provide them with safe and precise amounts of nutrients necessary to carry out intensive training at any level. “Ideal Pump provides full dosages of all its active ingredients. We are not trying to hide our blend in fillers. With Ideal Pump there is no guessing of whether or not you are getting the right amount of nutrients,” says Alex Karsos, CEO of GI Nutrition. “Our formula ensures each athlete is getting all the amino acids and nutrients needed before a workout. Our nutrient servings are in a higher quantity and delivered in a more efficient manner than our competitors.”  Prominent sports athletes agree, with Miami Marlins pitcher Tom Koehler, Team USA lacrosse midfielder Max Siebald, San Diego Padres pitcher Casey Kelley, and weightlifting champion Vince Urbank to name a few – all taking Ideal Pump and GI Nutrition products as part of their sports training regimen.

Ideal Pump is 100% guaranteed free of any contaminants and banned substances that pose danger and risk to one’s performance and health. So go ahead, unleash the scary beast within… safely and naturally with GI Nutrition.

I . Like any drug, MHA becomes dangerous when taken in high dosages. According to Don Catlin, MD, CEO of the Anti-Doping Research Group, quoted from the March 2011 issue of Nutrition Business Journal, taking enough of MHA will lead to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and even death.
 
II .  MHA is not a constituent of geranium oil, according to Ed Wyszumiala, GM of NSF’s dietary supplements program (March 2011) http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Industry/NSF-MHA-not-a-constituent-of-geranium-oil
