The dense forest of bodybuilding nutrition contains a paradox: the quantity of information available is abundant, but the wisdom of traditional diets to satisfy the primary concerns of bodybuilders is sparse and hard to find. Typical recommendations include very low-fat diets rich in protein foods like salmon and chicken.

You will search in vain through mainstream men’s health magazines to find so much as a mention of the importance of vitamin A to bodybuilding. Yet this nutrient is essential to muscle-building and may be the bodybuilder’s most potent weapon. Vitamin A is necessary for the utilization of protein and the production of testosterone and other growth factors. In fact, one human study, discussed below, found the administration of vitamin A and iron to have results equivalent to the administration of testosterone itself. Rather than advocating the consumption of vitamin-A rich foods such as liver and natural food-based supplements such as cod liver oil, mainstream men’s health writers are advocating diets very high in protein, which deplete vitamin A reserves, leaving one to wonder whether the athletes who resort to over-the-counter steroid supplements might be able to achieve similar results by consuming a traditional diet, rich in vitamin A.

If someone asks a question on a bodybuilding discussion forum about Andriol (Testosterone Undecanoate) most of the time members chime in and answer the same stereotype answers that where valid some years ago. About Andriol being a poor choice due to poor absorption rate and therefore has a low bioavalability. It is expensive etc etc.

Testosterone undecanoate has been available on the market for more than 20 years. Andriol capsules are available in more than 80 countries worldwide, but not in the USA. This should actually show that it has much potential. Also for bodybuildersit has a lot of uses like in bridging, cycling, PCT, HRT/TRT, anti-aging etc. More of that later.

Given Testosterone Undecanoate’s “age,” there would be little financial incentive to market the drug in the United States, as any generic manufacturer (foreign or domestic) could introduce a cheaper version, negating any potential for profit. Thus, it is unlikely that Testosterone Undecanoate will enter the United States market in the near future.

The global nutraceutical market was estimated to be $140.1 billion US dollars in 2010. Concerns have arisen over the increasing cases of adulterated products in the market which threaten the health of the consumer and the continual growth for the nutraceutical industry.

US rulings such as the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), the 2007 Good Manufacturing Practice of Dietary Rule and comparable rules from other countries have set guidelines to ensure product safety and manufacturing compliance.   outgoing raw materials and finished products The U.S. House of Representatives has passed legislation clamping down on designer steroids and pro-hormones and giving more powers to the DEA.

Almost everyone has a favorite muscle group they like to train and develop best. For most of the new or young builders this is the biceps/arms. Why is this, probably because strong arms and especially the flexed biceps is the summum of showing your strength. On the other hand, most people also have a muscle group they don’t like to train. And mostly that is legs.

Developing oak tree legs asks a lot of dedication and hard work. Training the legs wears you out and is often very painful, moreover most people don’t consider muscular legs as "sexy" as the biceps. They are often covered up and no eye catcher as fully pumped arms.

Too many ages will make you fat. But the longer-term consequences are much more severe. A process starts in which “silent” inflammation occurs in different parts in your body. Your arteries get clogged, your brain deteriorates and your kidneys can’t do their job properly. If this process does not stop, you have a greater chance of getting Alzheimer's or on a premature death by heart and vascular disease.

First saturated fat was the main culprit in cancer and cardiovascular disease, but that was not true. Then we all went “low carb” because we became too heavy from all those unhealthy sugars and carbohydrates. And now that story can also be thrown into the trashcan?

Not really. Sugars and fast carbs are still not good, too much sugar (especially fructose) chases the spontaneous formation of AGE’s in your body
