We've succeeded where so many other supplement companies have failed! POST-CYCLE covers all the bases. Where else are you going to find an anti-estrogen along with liver protectants and detoxifiers along with ingredients to boost libido and improve erectile function! And on top of it all, POST-CYCLE increases Nitric Oixde so you get vicious pumps in the gym. You'd have to spend three times as much for just one or two of these ingredients, but with POST-CYCLE, you get it all, for less!
Again, we avoided some typical "window dressing" ingredients in favor of the most effective compounds available. When it came to anti-estrogens we passed on DIM and I3C because these compounds are mild estrogens which MAY inhibit further estrogens from attaching to receptors, OR, (and this is what they never tell you) they may have an estrogenic effect on their own! No way. We also passed on some of the new androstenetrione antiestrogens simply for the fact that no research has been conducted on them. There's no way of knowing if these compounds have a "rebound" effect, causing an increase in estrogen once you stop using it. That's why we went with Calcium D-Glucarate in combination with 5, 7-dihydroxyflavone and added the Bioperine to increase its absorption. This allows for the safe, proven removal of excess estrogens for a perfect hormonal balance.
Directions: Take 1 serving (3 capsules) per day with one week break every 4 weeks.
For "post cycle therapy" take 2 servings for 4 weeks followed by a maintenance dose of one serving a day for an additional 4 weeks, then follow standard dosing.
FOr use as a pro-sexual boost, take an additional serving 30 minutes before activity. FOr increased effectiveness, stack with Unleashed.
And just as a kicker, we put in a powerful dose of MACA so you really feel a surge. Not to mention the mega-dose of our high potency Candium will give you stamina like you've never experienced before! POST-CYCLE should be a part of every serious bodybuilders supplement regime. Used in a stack with UNLEASHED and wow! This stuff kicks ass!
Supplement Facts
* Serving Size 3 Capsules (once per day)
* Servings per Container 30
* Milk Thistle:80%Silymarin 100mgs
* Epimedium 500 mgs
* N-Acetyl Cysteine 50 mgs
* Pirkoliv (Ayurvedic herb) 100 mgs
* r-ALA 10 mgs
* Lecithin (containing Phosphatidyl Choline) 250 mgs
* Maca 500 mgs
* Calcium D-Glucarate 25 mgs

* Cindium Monnieri 50 mgs
* Zinc Aspartate 15 mgs
* Arginine 250 mgs
As everyone knows, the use of anabolics carries certain health risks. And once you come off, the side effects are even worse. A suppressed HPTA. Elevated liver enzymes. Lowered libido. Increased estrogen. These things will not only compromise your health but they'll slow down recuperation. In the meantime, you'll lose precious muscle! Don't let it happen.
Now, you can protect yourself from many of these detrimental effects and restore your natural vital functions faster than ever before with new "POST - CYCLE."
POST-CYCLE is specifically designed with a unique combination of ingredients which provide multifaceted benefits for the anabolic user.
* First, we've included not one, not two, but FIVE different ingredients to help guard, clean and detoxify the liver.
* Milk Thistle:80%Silymarin 100mgs
* N-Acetyl Cysteine: 50 mgs
* Pirkoliv: (Ayurvedic herb) 100mgs
* r-ALA: 10 mgs
* Lecithin (containing Phosphatidyl Choline) 250mgs
The next step was to add Estrogen ELIMINATORS.
This is important. Anything that blocks the production of estrogen only works as long as you take the product. As soon as you stop, the estrogen comes back twofold! The key is to REMOVE excess estrones, and the only ingredients we've found to do that are here! But the dosages must be correct! Too much or too little can throw your hormonal balance way off. POST-CYCLE contains the following aromatase inhibitors:
Calcium D-Glucarate: 25 mgs, 5,7-dihydroxyflavone: 500 mgs Piperine:5mgs
In a case study using the blood work as the gauge, this combination of ingredients proved to lower estrodiol levels over 20%! (Blood tests don't lie)
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...
One of the regrettable downfalls of steroid use is the havoc it plays on your libido. This can lead to a multitude of depressing and embarrassing episodes for a long time afterward. BUT NOT ANYMORE!
Even natural athletes can take advantage of the pro-sexual benefits of POST-CYCLE since every ingredient is designed to promote health and well being. (Note: When taken with "UNLEASHED" the effects are even more dramatic.)
One of the ingredients of POST CYCLE is a newly discovered compound called Cnidium Monnieri. (50mgs). 2 capsules twenty minutes before "activity" and we guarantee you won't be "let down."
Also included in POST-CYCLE is 500mgs of high potency MACA, and 250 mgs of Epimedium to help kick start your sex drive. 15mgs of Zinc Aspartate (for both estrogen maintenance and testosterone production) as well as 250mgs of L-Arginine are also added to enhance Nitric Oxide production, suppress estrogen and heightenA testosterone.
THE ONE AND ONLY!!
We know once other supplement companies get a hold of this formula they're going to try their damnedest to copy it. But don't be fooled by wannabe imitators. Go with the world's first and most effective post-cycle supplement ever formulated.
POST-CYCLE -- It's What You Should Be On, When You're "Off."

Unleashed Testosterone Supplements
Without a doubt, UNLEASHED is the most potent testosterone supplement stimulating product on the market. Yet, some people have asked us why it does not contain Tribulus -- a standard for helping to release Leutenizing Hormone and therefore increasing tesosterone. Well, we thought about including it, but the truth of the matter is, Tribulus is effective in only about 40% of the people who try it, and the effect is mild at best. It's also been shown that Tribulus does next to nothing in men with suppressed HPTA's such as steroid users, older men, or men with naturally low testosterone -- in other words, the ones who need it the most!
What ever Tribulus does, Avena Sativa has been shown to do much better, but only if the Avena contains the active avenacosides. Out of eleven Avena products tested, only ONE showed to have any active avenacosides at all! And the avenacoside count was not as high as those found in UNLEASHED. So instead of taking up space with something less effective, such as Tribulus, we upped the dosage of the Avena Sativa extract and found it REALLY packed a punch! The other ingredients in UNLEASHED work synergistically to make the most of the testosterone releasing effect. You simply can't find a stronger, natural product anywhere.
Supplement Facts
* Servings Size 3 capsules
* Servings Per Container 30
* Avena Sativa (with at least 7% Avenacosides A&B) 500 mgs
* Muara Puama: 12:1 active extract 500mgs
* Trimethyglycine 1000mgs
* Xanthoparmilia Scabrosa: 50mgs
* Urtica dioica: 100 mgs
* Ashwagandha: Standardized to 1.5%Withanolides 500 mgs
It Isn't How Much You Have -- It's How Much You Can Use That Counts!
There's no doubt about it. When it comes to building muscle, nothing is more important than the amount of testosterone you have in your body. Unfortunately, one's T levels are genetically determined and despite what some supplement manufacturers may say to convince you otherwise, nothing besides steroids will provide enough of an elevation in testosterone to grow more muscle.
Even when using exogenous testosterone, not all of it will be available to impart its anabolic effects. That's due to an enzyme known as SHBG ( Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) and it's the deciding factor in how much testosterone you can use to build muscle and how much will remain in a "bound" unusable state. You see, SHBG clings to testosterone and keeps it from working its magic. The more SHBG you have, the less "available" testosterone there'll be. So the answer to greater muscle growth isn't necessarily more total testosterone, but less SHBG. This is where UNLEASHED comes in.
It's a known fact that more and more bodybuilders are turning to anabolic enhancement to get that extra edge. But besides the health and legal issues, if SHBG is elevated, all the drugs in the world won't provide satisfactory results. This is why you may see a typical gym member using higher dosages than what Arnold ever took -- and they sure aren't close to looking as good as Arnold ! The reason? SHBG. If it's high, it doesn't matter how much testosterone is flowing through your veins, it isn't going to put on very much muscle. Yet, if it were possible to lower SHBG, then someone with a "normal" testosterone level can actually be in a more anabolic state than someone on steroids! AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE!!
UNLEASHED is an amazing new compound made of a combination of synergistic ingredients which have been shown to lower SHBG and increase free testosterone! So now you can get the most of the testosterone that's already in your body!
DON'T BE A GUINEA PIG FOR AMATEUR SCIENTISTS!
Why put your trust in shady supplement companies which have put out bogus product after bogus product? All prohormones and other such hormone derivatives have been shown to suppress natural testosterone levels, including the all important FREE testosterone. This in turn can also cause a backlash and build up of estrogen...NOT what you want, if a dense muscular body is your goal. Instead, allow the natural hormones within your own body to come alive, sending your muscle growth into high gear! That's what UNLEASHED does.
EXPERIENCE HIGHER TESTOSTERONE LEVELS FOR YOURSELF
Anyone who has been at the bodybuilding game for a while is familiar with all the suspect "University Studies" that supposedly prove a product's effectiveness. But many of these studies are done either in vitro (test tubes) or on animals. All too often the concluded results of such studies show one thing while the "real life" results show another. That's why why we put the active ingredients in UNLEASHED to the test in the real world.
In a volunteer study, using a protype of the ingredients in UNLEASHED, the subjects free testosterone increased an average of 24% in only 4 weeks!
Of course, not everyone is going to have blood drawn for comparison on a monthly basis but you can prove to yourself the power of UNLEASHED with this simple test. (Note: The subject matter may be a little sensitive, but it's the very best way to state our case.)
THIS CAN'T BE PLACEBO
One of the best ways to determine a healthy "Free Testosterone" level is through "non-stimulative erectile function." What that means in plain English is this: When you wake up from a night's sleep, even though there's been no sexual stimulation, you should have an erection (which is always the case when you're 17 years old and hormones are raging). If you don't, then there's a good chance your Free Testosterone is low. But once you take UNLEASHED, you can expect a BIG surprise each and every morning! And because of the pleasant "good morning wood" you'll experience, you'll know that last night's sleep was an anabolic dream come true since your own, natural FREE TESTOSTERONE was working while you sleep to make you bigger, stronger and more powerful.
And in case you were wondering...yes, a dose of "UNLEASHED" before sexual activity can certainly make a noticeable difference in your stamina.
Finally! A supplement that's truly anabolic!
Don't let SHBG hold you back! Shatter the bonds of slow growth and give your own body every advantage. Allow your own testosterone to break free and start packing on thick, dense muscle right away!
Get UNLEASHED! And Release The Power Within You.

Super Plasma Protein
One of the main concerns of bodybuilders that use supplements is the ability for that supplement to be digested and absorbed in the most beneficial way. The bodybuilder can manipulate his or her proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, to enhance digestion of certain supplements hence making them more effective. On the other hand, supplement companies have also gone on to make claims that they have enhanced their specific supplement to increase absorption thus making their product more effective than the others with the same base.
This article will discuss one supplement that has never really been able to make any advancements in absorption and digestion, one supplement that the "BIG BOYS" of the supplement industry has never focused on. This supplement is whey protein, and the Protein Factory is going to offer you a new product that is now a MUST USE in your supplement arsenal. This supplement deals with the body’s ability to digest and absorb more free-form amino acids and peptides thus putting the body into a positive nitrogen balance, thus triggering natural muscle growth.
Protein digestion is a complex process. It involves actions by the stomach then most importantly the small intestine. The small intestine are where certain enzymes that turn the protein into free-form amino acids and di and tri-peptides, thus getting them ready to be absorbed. Free-form amino acids and hydrolyzed peptides are the only two forms of amino’s that get absorbed. The quality of a whole food protein a person eats plays a major role in how efficient the digestion and absorption of that whole food protein is.
The quality of a food is measured by a few different techniques. If you’re an experienced bodybuilder you will recognize these right away. These techniques are biological value, (BV),Protein Efficiency Ration (PER) and Protein digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS). These techniques are all based on whole food proteins ability to support growth and survival. Which technique is the most important one related to muscle growth? Neither of them, what is important is which protein rate at the top of each technique. And once again, if you’re an experienced bodybuilder you will know that proteins such as whey, egg, and soy rate at the top. These proteins have the best absorption rate and highest quality amino acid profile, thus the BEST for protein supplementation. The Protein Factory recommends a variety of protein sources because each individual protein possess certain qualities that are unique to themselves. But even though whole food protein powders such as whey, soy, and egg rate high on the quality scales (BV, PER, and PDCAAS) protein loss still occurs.
Loss of protein (nitrogen (N)) occurs mostly through urine, then feces, sweat, saliva, menstruation, and seminal ejaculation. The total loss in grams is throughout the day is about 30 grams if you weigh about 180lbs. Everybody has a different rate of protein digestion, absorption and excretion. Some people can digest and absorb certain protein better than others. For example, growing babies have less nitrogen loss than grown males. Special protein sub-fractions (Immunoglobulin) in breast milk increase protein absorption needed for a babies rapid growth rate. A baby when first born can gain grow 1 pound a week. Don’t sound like much! Consider a newborn baby only weighs an average of 7lbs, that means he increases his bodyweight by 14%. Now compare that to a steroid taking bodybuilder who gains 1 pound a week. That’s only .005%. Keep in mind the protein sub-fraction I have mentioned above (Immunoglobulin) Bodybuilders goals are to find ways to increase protein absorption and digestion and decrease protein (N) loss, hence bringing more amino acids, and nutrients into the bloodstream and putting themselves in a condition for muscle growth.
Increasing protein absorption will bring direct results in muscle growth than the supplements that have been made to increase protein synthesis via alternate conditions, such as creatine and pro-hormones. Creatine increases cellular hydration and pro-hormone increase natural testosterone levels. Thus muscle growth can occur due to these conditions. One must remember that the bottom line for muscle growth is protein synthesis. Muscle growth only occurs when protein synthesis is increased. Creatine and pro-hormones are ways to increase protein synthesis, (increase in endurance (creatine) and increase in natural testosterone levels (pro-hormones). But without amino acids to fuel muscle, growth can be hampered. Thus the supplement companies have come up with ways to increase protein synthesis via other factors and conditions, but not any ways to directly increase the amount of amino acids moving into the blood stream. Increasing amino acid absorption on the other hand is very complex and difficult to understand. That is why I believe the supplement companies have not come up with a better digesting protein supplement. One exception, from reading the Protein Factory website is hydrolyzed whey protein and free-from amino acids. These two products are better absorbed than regular proteins such as whey, soy, and egg. But bodybuilders are apt to use them because. 1)Hydrolyzed whey protein proteins are very difficult to find. The only company that I know that sells "REAL" hydrolyzed whey protein is the Protein Factory. 2)High quality hydrolyzed proteins tastes awful! 3)Free-Form amino acids are expensive and finding them in powdered form is difficult. But, due to a recent supplement breakthrough a new product will help improve gut functions, directly effecting the amino acid influx into the bloodstream, bringing one body into a positive nitrogen balance and increasing lean muscle mass.
This supplement is officially called Bovine Serum Concentrate. (BSC) The company that manufacturers this supplement holds a patent on it. So when you see companies start stealing the term and switching it around like Serum protein, Bovine sub-fractions don’t be fooled. It must state on the label, "Bovine Serum Concentrate".
Bovine Serum Concentrate is an "immunoglobulin-rich protein ideal for use as an ingredient in intestinal nutrition and health products" (REF). And the biggest surprise of all is that it is NOT a whey protein. It is derived from beef plasma. Here is a list of benefits from this supplement, which some I will explain in detail. Keep in mind this research has been conducted for over 18 years.
1. Bioactive hormone, growth factors and cytokines promote cell growth (in vitro)
2. Activation of immune system thereby preventing protein and energy loss.
3. Immunoglobulins reduces the risk of contracting virus and other germs, such as colds and flus. By doing this your body retains protein and energy it needs to fuel muscle growth and sustain energy.
4. Aids in maintaining a healthy gut, facilitating digestion, absorption, and utilization of nutrients.
5. Immunoglobulins improve the process of the small intestine thus helping amino acids and other nutrients to become absorbed.
6. Increases retained nitrogen, promotes weight gain.
7. Studies conducted with the use of immunoglobulin found less nitrogen in the urine and feces. Thus they found more nitrogen in the muscle, which meant an increase in muscle mass.
8. Increases retained fat/energy.
9. Reduced protein and amino acid catabolism, improves protein retention.
10. Increases fat-free body mass.
11. Includes protein such as immunoglobulin G, albumin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, and transferrin.
12. Significant concentrations of peptides such as insulin-like growth-I, fibroblast growth factor, and transforming growth factor-beta.
This (Number 12) is one of the most important aspects of the new supplement, and probably why gains in muscle mass occur. Bovine Serum concentrate contains high levels of IGF-1. "The IGF peptides are bound tightly to plasma proteins (IGFBP’s) (REF) Unlike normal whey protein such as Cross-Flow Microfiltration and ion-exchange which contain very low levels of these growth factors, bovine serum concentrate contains much higher levels. IGF-1 is believed to mediate most anabolic activity in the body along with growth hormone. Now don’t get too excited about the level of IGF-1. Because most research has shown that even with pharmaceutical levels of IGF-1 doesn’t produce that much of an effect. A pharmaceutical level of growth hormone plus IGF-1 has been proven to work better than both alone. But, in another interesting study, IGF-1 taken with adequate amounts of amino acids increased protein synthesis.
Bovine Serum concentrate is a powdered sprayed-dried protein subfraction isolated from edible bovine plasma. It is then concentrated to form a high level of immunoglobin G. The immunoglobulin is the key ingredient. Studies that were conducted using immunoglobulin found that this protein sub-fraction sustains the benefits listed above. I can bore you with all the studies, but I wont. The truth is that immunoglobulin is now being used on AIDS, cancer, and malnourished children to aid in protein digestion. The manufacturer of BSC also has stated that it might be sold as a prescription drug in the next few years to come.
Dosage
An amount of 1 gram taken with meals of BSC powder is recommend by the manufacturer. No side effects have been reported even at a dosage of 20,000 grams per day. The Powder is to be taken with meals. The Protein Factory will be offering this product by itself or to be blended in with a normal protein powder.
The Protein Factory recommends at percentage of 5% for protein only powders This is based on the a 30 grams serving size of powder. For meal replacement powders the Protein Factory recommends a 2% usage of BSC.
SCAMS
Regular commercial whey protein that is popular with bodybuilders today contains a very little amount of immunoglobin, if any at all. Whey protein concentrate, contain next to none, but supplement companies will list them anyway just to fancy their marketing hype. It looks something like this.
"Our protein contains significant concentrates of powerful GMP’s, and sub-fractions Lactabumin and Lactoferrin." It is a scam. Major supplement companies don’t have a clue to what these sub-fractions do, let alone how much is actually in their product.
Below is new information about NEW Bovine Serum! November 5th, 11:10 AM 1999.
A New interview with one of the technical researchers of the makers of Bovine Serum. Protein Factory: How much more nitrogen is retained per g Bovine Serum consumed? Answer: We found in the animal model (mouse) that .05 g nitrogen will be retained per g of plasma protein intake. This would equate to about .3g increase in body protein and 1.0 g of FFM (Fat free Mass) per g of plasma protein intake. This data is in close agreement with the work in pigs. Although we did not measure N composition at the start of the experiment, the data between the two experiments is in agreement.
Protein Factory: How much weight gain (Fat-Free MASS) is estimated per g of Bovine Serum consumed?
Answer: We estimate an increase of 1 g of FFM per g of Bovine Serum consumed.
Protein Factory: How long does a person have to consume Bovine Serum before realizing effects?
Answer: In animal studies changes in FFM occur within a week of "treatment".. I have notice an improvement within 2 days of consuming the product.
Protein Factory: Will Bovine Serum more so enhance the endurance trainer or the "sprint trainer" (in terms of energy)?
Answer: The endurance athlete has a higher protein requirement (per kg bodyweight) so will likely benefit more than the "sprint trainer". Of course, a slight change in FFM and performance of a sprinter means more to them than a slight change for an endurance athlete because of the length of the events.
Thanks for the questions. I hope this information is helpful.
Protein Factory: Thanks, I'm sure they will be!!
Protein Factory comments.
Now I know what everyone is thinking, "If I consume a pound of Bovine Serum a day does that mean I'll gain a pound of FFM a day!!! Probably not, but we are going to continue this interview with the next couple of weeks.
Our new supplement is here. Enjoy the article

One exception, from reading the Protein Factory website is hydrolyzed whey protein and free-from amino acids. These two products are better absorbed than regular proteins such as whey, soy, and egg. But bodybuilders are apt to use them because. 1)Hydrolyzed whey protein proteins are very difficult to find. The only company that I know that sells "REAL" hydrolyzed whey protein is the Protein Factory. 2) High quality hydrolyzed proteins tastes awful! 3)Free-Form amino acids are expensive and finding them in powdered form is difficult. But, due to a recent supplement breakthrough a new product will help improve gut functions, directly effecting the amino acid influx into the bloodstream, bringing one body into a positive nitrogen balance and increasing lean muscle mass.
This supplement is officially called Bovine Serum Concentrate. (BSC) The company that manufacturers this supplement holds a patent on it. So when you see companies start stealing the term and switching it around like Serum protein, Bovine sub-fractions don’t be fooled. It must state on the label, "Bovine Serum Concentrate".
Bovine Serum Concentrate is an "immunoglobulin-rich protein ideal for use as an ingredient in intestinal nutrition and health products" (REF). And the biggest surprise of all is that it is NOT a whey protein. It is derived from beef plasma. Here is a list of benefits from this supplement, which some I will explain in detail. Keep in mind this research has been conducted for over 18 years.
This article will discuss one supplement that has never really been able to make any advancements in absorption and digestion, one supplement that the "BIG BOYS" of the supplement industry has never focused on. This supplement is whey protein, and the Protein Factory is going to offer you a new product that is now a MUST USE in your supplement arsenal. This supplement deals with the body’s ability to digest and absorb more free-form amino acids and peptides thus putting the body into a positive nitrogen balance, thus triggering natural muscle growth.
Protein digestion is a complex process. It involves actions by the stomach then most importantly the small intestine. The small intestine are where certain enzymes that turn the protein into free-form amino acids and di and tri-peptides, thus getting them ready to be absorbed. Free-form amino acids and hydrolyzed peptides are the only two forms of amino’s that get absorbed. The quality of a whole food protein a person eats plays a major role in how efficient the digestion and absorption of that whole food protein is.
The quality of a food is measured by a few different techniques. If you’re an experienced bodybuilder you will recognize these right away. These techniques are biological value, (BV),Protein Efficiency Ration (PER) and Protein digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS). These techniques are all based on whole food proteins ability to support growth and survival. Which technique is the most important one related to muscle growth? Neither of them, what is important is which protein rate at the top of each technique. And once again, if you’re an experienced bodybuilder you will know that proteins such as whey, egg, and soy rate at the top. These proteins have the best absorption rate and highest quality amino acid profile, thus the BEST for protein supplementation. The Protein Factory recommends a variety of protein sources because each individual protein possess certain qualities that are unique to themselves. But even though whole food protein powders such as whey, soy, and egg rate high on the quality scales (BV, PER, and PDCAAS) protein loss still occurs.
Loss of protein (nitrogen (N)) occurs mostly through urine, then feces, sweat, saliva, menstruation, and seminal ejaculation. The total loss in grams is throughout the day is about 30 grams if you weigh about 180lbs. Everybody has a different rate of protein digestion, absorption and excretion. Some people can digest and absorb certain protein better than others. For example, growing babies have less nitrogen loss than grown males. Special protein sub-fractions (Immunoglobulin) in breast milk increase protein absorption needed for a babies rapid growth rate. A baby when first born can gain grow 1 pound a week. Don’t sound like much! Consider a newborn baby only weighs an average of 7lbs, that means he increases his bodyweight by 14%. Now compare that to a steroid taking bodybuilder who gains 1 pound a week. That’s only .005%. Keep in mind the protein sub-fraction I have mentioned above (Immunoglobulin) Bodybuilders goals are to find ways to increase protein absorption and digestion and decrease protein (N) loss, hence bringing more amino acids, and nutrients into the bloodstream and putting themselves in a condition for muscle growth.
Increasing protein absorption will bring direct results in muscle growth than the supplements that have been made to increase protein synthesis via alternate conditions, such as creatine and pro-hormones. Creatine increases cellular hydration and pro-hormone increase natural testosterone levels. Thus muscle growth can occur due to these conditions. One must remember that the bottom line for muscle growth is protein synthesis. Muscle growth only occurs when protein synthesis is increased. Creatine and pro-hormones are ways to increase protein synthesis, (increase in endurance (creatine) and increase in natural testosterone levels (pro-hormones). But without amino acids to fuel muscle, growth can be hampered. Thus the supplement companies have come up with ways to increase protein synthesis via other factors and conditions, but not any ways to directly increase the amount of amino acids moving into the blood stream. Increasing amino acid absorption on the other hand is very complex and difficult to understand. That is why I believe the supplement companies have not come up with a better digesting protein supplement. One exception, from reading the Protein Factory website is hydrolyzed whey protein and free-from amino acids. These two products are better absorbed than regular proteins such as whey, soy, and egg.

Keep in mind this research has been conducted for over 18 years.
1. Bioactive hormone, growth factors and cytokines promote cell growth (in vitro)
2. Activation of immune system thereby preventing protein and energy loss.
3. Immunoglobulins reduces the risk of contracting virus and other germs, such as colds and flus. By doing this your body retains protein and energy it needs to fuel muscle growth and sustain energy.
4. Aids in maintaining a healthy gut, facilitating digestion, absorption, and utilization of nutrients.
5. Immunoglobulins improve the process of the small intestine thus helping amino acids and other nutrients to become absorbed.
6. Increases retained nitrogen, promotes weight gain.
7. Studies conducted with the use of immunoglobulin found less nitrogen in the urine and feces. Thus they found more nitrogen in the muscle, which meant an increase in muscle mass.
8. Increases retained fat/energy.
9. Reduced protein and amino acid catabolism, improves protein retention.
10. Increases fat-free body mass.
11. Includes protein such as immunoglobulin G, albumin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, and transferrin.
12. Significant concentrations of peptides such as insulin-like growth-I, fibroblast growth factor, and transforming growth factor-beta.
This (Number 12) is one of the most important aspects of the new supplement, and probably why gains in muscle mass occur. Bovine Serum concentrate contains high levels of IGF-1. "The IGF peptides are bound tightly to plasma proteins (IGFBP’s) (REF) Unlike normal whey protein such as Cross-Flow Microfiltration and ion-exchange which contain very low levels of these growth factors, bovine serum concentrate contains much higher levels. IGF-1 is believed to mediate most anabolic activity in the body along with growth hormone. Now don’t get too excited about the level of IGF-1. Because most research has shown that even with pharmaceutical levels of IGF-1 doesn’t produce that much of an effect. A pharmaceutical level of growth hormone plus IGF-1 has been proven to work better than both alone. But, in another interesting study, IGF-1 taken with adequate amounts of amino acids increased protein synthesis.
Bovine Serum concentrate is a powdered sprayed-dried protein subfraction isolated from edible bovine plasma. It is then concentrated to form a high level of immunoglobin G. The immunoglobulin is the key ingredient. Studies that were conducted using immunoglobulin found that this protein sub-fraction sustains the benefits listed above. I can bore you with all the studies, but I wont. The truth is that immunoglobulin is now being used on AIDS, cancer, and malnourished children to aid in protein digestion. The manufacturer of BSC also has stated that it might be sold as a prescription drug in the next few years to come.
Dosage
An amount of 1 gram taken with meals of BSC powder is recommend by the manufacturer. No side effects have been reported even at a dosage of 20,000 grams per day. The Powder is to be taken with meals. The Protein Factory will be offering this product by itself or to be blended in with a normal protein powder.
The Protein Factory recommends at percentage of 5% for protein only powders This is based on the a 30 grams serving size of powder. For meal replacement powders the Protein Factory recommends a 2% usage of BSC.
SCAMS
Regular commercial whey protein that is popular with bodybuilders today contains a very little amount of immunoglobin, if any at all. Whey protein concentrate, contain next to none, but supplement companies will list them anyway just to fancy their marketing hype. It looks something like this.
"Our protein contains significant concentrates of powerful GMP’s, and sub-fractions Lactabumin and Lactoferrin." It is a scam. Major supplement companies don’t have a clue to what these sub-fractions do, let alone how much is actually in their product.
Below is new information about NEW Bovine Serum! November 5th, 11:10 AM 1999.
A New interview with one of the technical researchers of the makers of Bovine Serum. Protein Factory: How much more nitrogen is retained per g Bovine Serum consumed? Answer: We found in the animal model (mouse) that .05 g nitrogen will be retained per g of plasma protein intake. This would equate to about .3g increase in body protein and 1.0 g of FFM (Fat free Mass) per g of plasma protein intake. This data is in close agreement with the work in pigs. Although we did not measure N composition at the start of the experiment, the data between the two experiments is in agreement.
Protein Factory: How much weight gain (Fat-Free MASS) is estimated per g of Bovine Serum consumed?
Answer: We estimate an increase of 1 g of FFM per g of Bovine Serum consumed.
Protein Factory: How long does a person have to consume Bovine Serum before realizing effects?
Answer: In animal studies changes in FFM occur within a week of "treatment".. I have notice an improvement within 2 days of consuming the product.
Protein Factory: Will Bovine Serum more so enhance the endurance trainer or the "sprint trainer" (in terms of energy)?
Answer: The endurance athlete has a higher protein requirement (per kg bodyweight) so will likely benefit more than the "sprint trainer". Of course, a slight change in FFM and performance of a sprinter means more to them than a slight change for an endurance athlete because of the length of the events.
Thanks for the questions. I hope this information is helpful.
Protein Factory: Thanks, I'm sure they will be!!
Protein Factory comments.
Now I know what everyone is thinking, "If I consume a pound of Bovine Serum a day does that mean I'll gain a pound of FFM a day!!! Probably not, but we are going to continue this interview with the next couple of weeks.
Our new supplement is here. Enjoy the article
BOVINE SERUM CONCENTRATE October 31, 1999
One of the main concerns of bodybuilders that use supplements is the ability for that supplement to be digested and absorbed in the most beneficial way. The bodybuilder can manipulate his or her proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, to enhance digestion of certain supplements hence making them more effective. On the other hand, supplement companies have also gone on to make claims that they have enhanced their specific supplement to increase absorption thus making their product more effective than the others with the same base. This article will discuss one supplement that has never really been able to make any advancements in absorption and digestion, one supplement that the "BIG BOYS" of the supplement industry has never focused on.
