Little Known Supplements for Regulating Blood Glucose Levels

Little Known Supplements for Regulating Blood Glucose Levels

Regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels helps with many important functions in the body including reducing cravings, limiting exposure to diabetic conversion, improving anti-oxidant absorption and effectiveness, proper regulation of energy and metabolizing sugar into energy instead of storing it as fat to name a few. Here a few little known supplement choices that can help you with this battle:

1. Wild Bitter Melon, sometimes called Glycostat. Helps regulate blood sugar levels and is found naturally in many green melon plants.

2. Banaba Extract & Eucalyptus are herbal extracts that help metabolize glucose into energy for better utilization of blood sugar for energy consumption instead of processing into fat stores.

3. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Normally known as a great anti-oxidant by itself, ALA helps balance blood sugar through self-regulation in times of low energy needs and improves facilitation into energy in times of need in addition to helping as a great anti-oxidant to prevent many other ailments caused by free radicals like over training, sun exposure, air pollution and smoke.

4. Resveratrol. Another great anti-oxidant that also protects cardio-vascular function by inhibiting LDL oxidation and provides nitric oxide and support healthy capillaries.

Other Vitamins like E, C and the B’s along with Biotin and minerals like Magnesium and Selenium and Chromium help in this overall goal too!

At the store we have an amazing product called Glucose Optimizer from Jarrow Formulas that includes all of these ingredients in one formula in the best dosage and great delivery mechanism without any yeast, gluten or other allergins. Check it out today!

Anabolics 101: To stack or not to stack??

We constantly have folks come in and check out one of our natural anabolic products and expect 22lbs of muscle gain in just three week but the reality is those type of results in that amount of time with just ONE product is not possible.
Here's the example I use, imagine you go to the guy in the gym that sells "juice" and get one thing to get you big, one to get you cut and one to make you strong. He would call it a cycle and you would expect to be injecting something for 8 to 12 weeks to get the best results.

Now why would one think something in our store, sold OVER THE COUNTER that's not illegal would work any better by itself in 1/3 the time always amazes me.

So my point is that you CAN gain and keep your results with over the counter anabolics that are safe and legal when stacked correctly. Today I'll explain why you should stack and give you some of my favorites we have at the store for men and even include some information for ladies.

Stacking products gives you the benefits of being on a steroid cycle with out the dangerous sides effects. So no moodiness, no breakouts and you don't notice the drop in sexual function that you can experience when on steroid cycles. You don't have to do painful injections and your gains are natural so your body is not placed under overwhelming stress.
The really good news, a natural anabolic stack will cost you less! You can expect to spend close to $600 on a full stack from the shady dude. With a safer over the counter stack from 4X you can get nutritional advice, help with workouts and the information you need to really achive great result and KEEP them after you cycle is over for less then $250! That's a saving of $350 for safer results!

In a stack you normally want products that would give you good result by their selves but great results when stacked together and are complementary. The purpose of stacking is to give your body all the tools it needs to achieve the goal you have set by attacking the problem from more then one side. So if you want the big shredded look then a natural test booster (Testopro, Viridex Xt ect) with a good hardening agent (Solid, Stoked ect) would be great for you.

Now that we know why stacking is important I'll explain what to stack and give you some of our favorites here at 4X. Note that all of these stacks can be expanded on per our recommendation depending on the rate at which you want to reach your goals.

Hercules Stack: Virdiex XT and A50 - With this stack you can expect increases in stamina, endurance, lean muscle and a heightened sense of well being. Along with a dense shredded look that any mere mortal would love to have!

Zeus Stack: Pure IGF and Testopro - On this stack you can get unparalleled gains in mass, supercharged strength gains, tissue repair and bone density. Anti-ageing and even immune support. This stack is for anyone who wants to move mountains with the bare hands!

Ladies I didn't forget about you even the female fitness minded individual can benefit from stacking!
