Amino 6000

What is Amino 6000?

AMINO 6000 is a high BV (biological value) dose of essential, nonessential, and conditionally-essential amino acids that assist with overall muscle and brain health and also function as precursors for many important biochemicals like neurotransmitters, nitric oxide, porphyrins, nucleotides, and polyamines.

Who should take Amino 6000?

People who require additional support for muscle and brain function that may not be receiving enough protein through their diet may benefit from supplementing with Amino 6000. In addition, athletes generally require additional amino acid (protein) supplementation to aid in overall muscle protein synthesis and function; Amino 6000 is a convenient, portable way to supplement their diet. Research indicates that 6 grams of high quality protein like whey or casein taken every 20-30 minutes between meals can help muscle tissue remain anabolic during the post-exercise recovery period.

Why should you take Amino 6000?

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are important metabolic biochemicals. Individuals who exercise may require greater amounts of proteins (L-amino acids) than people who are sedentary. AMINO 6000 is a source of Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs: l-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine) and L-form amino acids that promote muscle strength and recovery, as well as supply precursors for important biochemical reactions and components.

When should you take Amino 6000?

As a dietary supplement for adults, take Amino 6000 midway between meals for the greatest anticatabolic effect, or with meals for the greatest anabolic effect.

BCAA Capsules

What are BCAA Capsules?

BCAA stands for BRANCH CHAIN AMINO ACIDS, which consist of L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. These are the 3 main amino acids that have been researched in building lean muscle mass and recovery of broken down muscle tissues.

Red Yeast Rice

What is Red Yeast Rice?

Red yeast rice (RYR) is the fermentation product of red yeast (Monascus purpureus) grown on rice. It is a dietary staple in some Asian countries and its medicinal use has been documented in an ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia dating back to 800 A.D. RYR was traditionally used for indigestion, diarrhea, colic, hypertension, circulatory, spleen and stomach health; however, after the discovery of its ability to influence cholesterol production it has primarily been used to support healthy cholesterol levels.

How Does Red Yeast Rice Work?

RYR naturally contains a group of 10 compounds known as monacolins that have cholesterol lowering properties. The primary monacolin, identified as monacolin K, has been shown to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that is important for the production of cholesterol by the liver. By inhibiting this enzyme, RYR reduces cholesterol production by the body. RYR also naturally contains phytosterols; isoflavones and isoflavone glycosides; and monounsaturated fatty acids which may work through a variety of mechanisms to support healthy cholesterol levels.

How long will it take before I notice a drop in cholesterol?

Individual results can vary based on genetics and whether a diet and exercise regimen accompanies supplement use. However, in general, clinical studies have shown benefits as early as 2-4 weeks with a concentrated RYR extract given in a dose of 600 mg-1,200 mg, twice daily. Other studies have found benefits after 8 and 12 weeks of continuous supplement use.

What if I don’t notice a benefit after 8-12 weeks?

Increase the dose of RYR by 1 additional serving daily and incorporate dietary changes and an exercise regimen if you haven’t already done so.

How much will my cholesterol drop?

Each individual is unique; therefore, the amount of cholesterol reduction will not be the same for everyone. In addition, not all RYR products contain the same concentration of the cholesterol-lowering ingredients, which can also influence effectiveness. However, in general, concentrated RYR extracts can reduce total cholesterol levels by 10-30%.

What will it do to my HDL and LDL?

Some, but not all, studies have reported an increase in HDL or “good”cholesterol while most studies have shown that LDL or “bad” cholesterol drops by an average of 10-20%.

What effect will it have on my triglycerides?

Most studies have shown an average 15-25% reduction in triglycerides.

What is a safe dose?

Most studies on RYR have safely used doses of 600 mg or 1200 mg of the concentrated extract twice daily, or the powdered form taken up to 5 g (5,000 mg) daily.

What are any side effects if any?

The traditional use of RYR as a dietary staple for thousands of years without reports of toxicity support its long term safety. In clinical studies, few adverse reactions were reported with the most commonly cited events being abdominal discomfort, flatulence and heartburn.

If I want to stop taking it, can I stop 'cold turkey'?

Yes; there is no need to reduce the dosage if you want to stop taking the product.

If I stop taking it, will my cholesterol go back to what it was?

Yes; you need to regularly take RYR to keep cholesterol levels from going back to the level before you started taking the product.

Are there any other supplements that interfere with RYR?

At this time, there are no known supplements that would interfere with RYR.

Should I avoid grapefruit juice while taking RYR?

No. Although grapefruit products might theoretically increase blood levels of the active component of RYR (i.e., monacolin-K) this interaction should only be a concern for individuals taking high doses of the drug lovastatin. Grapefruit can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 metabolism of numerous drugs including lovastatin, which can increase blood levels too high.

Who should not take RYR?

RYR should be avoided by people with liver dysfunction, risk of liver dysfunction, or abnormal liver function. RYR should not be combined with alcohol or drugs that increase the risk of liver damage (e.g., acarbose, gemfibrozil, methotrexate, rosiglitazone, nicotinic acid)

Can I take Red Yeast Rice with my cholesterol drugs?

No. Combining RYR with cholesterol lowering medications is not recommended unless approved or supervised by your physician.

Is there Lovastatin in this product?

No. Lovastatin is a synthetic and concentrated drug that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although monacolin-K, the chemical found in RYR, is chemically similar to lovastatin, RYR products do not contain a purified and concentrated amount of monacolin-K. Rather, RYR products provide naturally occurring amounts of monacolins, in combination with other actives.

Is this product a drug?

No. RYR is a dietary staple in many Asian countries and is considered a dietary supplement in the United States and abroad.

Do I need a prescription?

No. RYR is available at pharmacies and health food stores as a dietary supplement that can be purchased without a prescription.

Why are the active ingredients not listed?

The FDA does not allow RYR products to specifically state the amount of active ingredients, such as monacolin-K on the product label. RYR products were originally developed to contain higher than usual amounts of naturally occurring monacolin-K and listed this as such on the product label. Because of the similarity of monacolin-K and lovastatin, the FDA considered RYR extract products unapproved drugs and were taken off the United States market in 2001. Now RYR products offer the traditional powder rather than standardized extract without specifying the amount of naturally occurring active ingredients.

Is this product made in China?

No. Although RYR originated from China and has been used there for centuries, Weider® RYR is made in the United States.

How is this product made?

RYR is made from the fermentation of red yeast (Monascus purpureus) grown on rice. The raw material is then encapsulated in a certified manufacturing facility in the United States and packaged for sale as a dietary supplement.

Is there a lot of scientific evidence to prove that red yeast rice reduces cholesterol?

Yes. Researchers have actively studied RYR for over 3 decades. Test tube, animal and human clinical research have shown that RYR has the ability to reduce cholesterol levels.
