Mutant CreaKong is the latest addition to the Mutant product line that delivers real creatine from the world’s leading sources. Mutant CreaKong contains 75 servings and the top 3 creatines that help build hard muscle and real strength especially during high intensity exercise.

Mutant CreaKong Ingredient Profile

3 creatines included in Mutant CreaKong as as follows:

Creapure Creatine monohydrate is included in the formula. This form of creatine has the most scientific evidence backing its benefits such as the ability to boost muscle size and performance.

Creatine MagnaPower Creatine Magnesium Chelate – the key is to understand the role magnesium plays here. CMC chemically bonds the creatine to magnesium, meaning that it is absorbed via a different pathway compared to regular creatine monohydrate, which bonds the creatine to a water molecule. The big idea behind is that by using a different transporter to get the creatine to reach the muscle cells, less is lost in transport and broken down and wasted. This may also result in less stomach bloating as well.

Creapure Tri-Creatine Citrate – this is a unique bonded type of creatine for instigating ATP output to generate strength and power from within. Tri-Creatine Citrate is known to cause a significant increase in performance during training.   Mutant doesn’t hide the creatine in its proprietary blend so we know exactly what we are getting.

Recommended Use

Mutant recommends that you take one full scoop (4 g) 20-30 minutes before workout with at least 250-375 mL (8-12 fl. oz.) of water.

Team Active8

It’s been a while now since DMAA has been banned in Canada (ephedrine is still banned in the US), manufacturers have been scrambling to find an ingredient that is safe and effective for use in fat burners. Gaspari Nutrition claims to have found the solution with dendrobium extract. In this article we will examine the ingredients found in Gaspari Detonate.

Gaspari Detonate Ingredient Profile

• Dendrobium extract: This extract was probably first popularized by the concentrated pre-workout supplement, Driven Sports Craze. Gaspari picked it up for this fat burner, and that is a natural move as dendrobium is known for its potential ability to stimulate the central nervous system (CNS) and increase metabolism.
• Caffeine anhydrous: This is an old-school thermogenic but very potent and effective in increasing metabolism and fat burning rate.
• Green tea extract: Studies have shown that green tea can block fat and carbohydrate digestion.
• Green coffee extract: Now this ingredient is believed to be effective but we still do not know exactly how this helps with weight and fat loss. Dr Joe Vinson, a professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania who led one of the studies, stated that ‘it has a significant weight loss’ associated with it. It seems to work based on the research done.
• Tangerine extract: This is a rather unique addition to the ingredient profile. Tangerine extract has been found to have protective effects against obesity.
• B-Phenylethylamine (or PEA): A compound that helps to elevate mood but can also provide a stimulant effect (mental energy and focus).
• Asian ginseng: It’s an Asian herb and studies show it helps to improve mental and physical performance, particularly in stressful periods, such as those under taking strict diets.
• BioPerine: It is a black pepper extract and has been known to assist in the absorption of different nutrients and can help make the most of the above ingredients.

Effectiveness

When you are cutting and trying to lose weight, you definitely want the fat burner to help you with 2 things. 1) gaining energy and 2) hunger suppression. Gaspari Detonate delivers on both, especially in the added energy it provides. Right after the first dose, Detonate provides a pretty quick hit of energy. No side effects, crash, or jitteriness, thanks to the absence of DMAA and the relatively low caffeine dose. And ingredients like ginseng and PEA seem to assist in mood elevation. Trust me, when you are dieting, this is very important!

The only downside to this fat burner is that Gaspari doesn’t disclose how much each of the ingredients is in the product. So we cannot tell whether it is properly dosed or not. All we know that its proprietary blend contains 700 mg of the above-mentioned ingredients. Judging by the effectiveness, we believe the dosages are decent.

Conclusion

Gaspari Detonate is designed to boost energy as well as increase fat burn. We are sure that dendrobium will find its way into the formulations of many more fat burners to come. Give Detonate a try and it could be a pleasant surprise for you. You can check out Gaspari Detonate on our website, Active8 Canada.

Gaspari MyoFusion Elite is the latest blended protein from Gaspari Nutrition that boasts 25 grams of protein per scoop, time released 4-stage protein blend, and an abundance of BCAAs. This protein powder is quite versatile in that you can enjoy it as either a pre-workout shake, a post-workout shake or as a snack replacement between meals. And most of you are delighted that its creamy, thick, smooth, and milkshake-like premier texture is still present. In this post we will address the ingredient profile as well as what’s new and unique in the latest installment of the renounced protein blend supplement series.

Gaspari’s latest blended protein supplement.

Ingredient Profile

In addition to 140 calorie, 4 grams of carb and less than 1% of sugar, here are the ingredients that make up MyoFusion Elite.

Myofusion Elite Protein Blend

• Whey Protein Concentrate
• Milk Protein Isolate
• Whey Protein Isolate
• Micellar Casein

Amino Blend

Each serving contains 25g of protein, small amounts of carbohydrates and only 3g of fat. Gaspari Myofusion Elite Protein Series focuses on your dairy whey protein sources, and this definitely helps with faster absorption. This formula has added BCAAs or branch chain amino acids, and we believe this will offset the absence of hydrolyzed protein. Moreover, micellar casein is included in the MyoFusion Elite, ensuring a constant flux of protein absorption for prolonged delivery of anabolic amino acids into the muscles.

Taste & Mixability

MyoFusion series has been known for its creamy, thick, milkshake like texture, even when mixed with water. If the texture does not appeal to you, you can simply add extra liquid to make it more smooth. As far as flavors are concerned, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough seems to be the best selling and best-rated flavor. In regards to mixability, we experienced no issues. You may find that there is no need to shake vigorously for the powders to dissolve.

Flavors

Active8 Canada has 4 unique flavors – Delicious Vanilla, Milk Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough, and Strawberries & Cream. You would be hard pressed not finding a flavor that you like!

• Unique 5-Stage Whey Protein blend for the highest possible biological value
• Addictive taste, smooth mixability and half the cholesterol of other whey brands
• No aspartame – sweetened with sucralose and lactose reduced

Unique Formula in Mutant Whey

Mutant Whey was carefully researched and developed for well over 2 years before it hit the market. It incorporates specially selected proteins, each with their own unique uptake rate. So each of the 5-Stage whey protein delivers the nutrients to the targeted number of protein receptor sites in your digestive system. This ensures there’s 100% whey uptake as a direct result of its own unique delivery system.

There are a number of selected proteins in Mutant Whey.

• NITROSERUM: It is a form of whey that promotes more real muscle growth and preservation by absorbing your protein at a steady pace, allowing constant and consistent protein delivery to your muscles.
• Micro Filtered Whey Protein Concentrates: Fast absorbing, lactose reduced.
• Cold Processed Whey Protein Isolate: At 97% protein, this is the highest protein source of whey. Virtually lactose free.
• ActiNOS: Patent pending whey peptides that absorb fast and stimulate NOS (nitric oxide synthase) by up to 950%, increasing blood flow and pump. It delivers BCAAs for muscle recovery at the same time.
• Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate: Awesome for nitrogen retention.
• Dispersion Controlled Complex: Helps improve amino acid uptake and make protein receptor sites to be more conducive to whey fraction absorption.

Benefits of Taking Mutant Whey

When you follow Mutant’s recommended scoops (2 scoops), you will get 44 grams of protein and over 17 grams of BCAAs and glutamine per serving. There are 18 types of amino acids – it’s a huge amino profile. Great for muscle recovery and for staying anabolic. For example, if you train legs and want to reduce leg DOMS, this is a really nice protein supplement to take. And 70% of protein is in Mutant Whey, this is a really balanced dose of protein.

Mutant Whey is good for cutting and getting toned as well since it has low carbs, fats, and sugar. Many customers note that this protein blend makes them go lean, and that’s exactly what this is designed to do. And be assured that there are no illegal, banned substances in Mutant Whey. Below is are the supplement facts of Mutant Whey.

Allmax CLA.

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)

Conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, is a type of fatty acid that is used by many bodybuilders and strength-training athletes. Numerous research results indicate that CLA can reduce body fat and increase lean muscle tissue activity, improving body composition. We have a great CLA supplement from Allmax Nutrition. Allmax CLA comes with 150 softgels and this is one of the best-selling CLA’s. Another great product is PVL Essentials CLA. This one comes with 180 softgels.

Ephedrine

Ephedrine is most commonly used as a weight loss supplement especially by bodybuilders who want to tone and reshape because it can help you cut fat and put on lean muscle at the same time. Ephedrine helps you to lost weight while preserving muscle. It is also wide recognized as an enhancer of cardiovascular performance so many athletes and sports competitors use ephedrine supplements as part of their training regimen. You can find a good selection of ephedrine from our supplements store.

Carnitine

PVL L-Carnitine.

Carnitine (or L-carnitine) is a non-essential amino acid. Carnitine is a “fat transporter”, bringing fatty acids across cell membranes to the mitochondria to be released and used as an energy source. So carnitine may help ensure that the fatty acids are burned or oxidized as fuel.

Also, fat burner research has shown that a carnitine deficiency may result in lower ATP (muscle energy) levels. During exercise/workout this amino acid gets consumed and its deficiency could limit the amount of energy available to the muscles. It could result in fatigue and compromised recovery. That is pretty serious. So anyone looking to shed fat and gain energy during exercise rely on carnitine supplementation. You may wish to refer to an article we published concerning various benefits of carnitine if you would like to receive more information. As far as the store, PVL L-Carnitine is definitely worth checking out.
