Creatine monohydrate vs other forms. Looks like another “high tech” form of creatine has got one foot planted firmly in the creatine grave yard. What is the creatine graveyard? It’s where forms of creatine — other then monohydrate — go when either science has shown them inferior to monohydrate, and or it’s life cycle of hype has come to and end.

I refer specifically to creatine ethyl ester (CEE). As with the many “high tech” forms of creatine before it, all manner of claims were/are made about how superior it is to creatine monohydrate (CM). It always starts the same. First the company will invent a long list of negatives about CM such as “poorly absorbed” or “causes bloat” or “is not stable” and then goes onto claim their form of creatine has solved all those invented negatives. The problem is, the data already shows CM does not suffer from virtually any of the negatives they invent, nor do they show their form “cures” those negatives. Sellers of CCE for example claimed CEE was better absorbed and utilized vs. CM, and that has been shown to be nonsense. There have been several in vitro (test tube) studies pointing to the fact CEE is inferior to CM, but a recent study done in humans puts a final nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned. This study is titled “The effects of creatine ethyl ester supplementation combined with heavy resistance training on body composition, muscle performance, and serum and muscle creatine levels” You can read my take on this study and see my list of creatine forms:

Chews-4-Health contains 16 ingredients from land and sea, uniting the antioxidant powers of exotic, life enhancing super fruits with mineral rich Sea Vegetables, along with a powerful antioxidant/vitamin blend combined with healthy select fruit concentrates. Compared to many pills and liquids on the market, Chews-4-Health is more CONVENIENT, AFFORDABLE and more QUICKLY ABSORBED.

How does Chews-4-Health compare to the liquid and pill products on the market?
There is no comparison! Unlike pills you swallow, Chews-4-Health ChewTabs contain no binders, fillers or hard chemical coatings that diminish absorption. Unlike liquid nutritional products, Chews-4-Health uses no artificial coloring, artificial flavoring, no preservatives or chemical stabilizers. Also, some liquid products must be pasteurized in order to kill bacteria and harmful organisms, however, this excessive heat process can also alter and deactivate naturally occurring GOOD nutrients. Liquid products also need to be refrigerated after opening. Chews-4-Health ChewTabs are not pasteurized and contain no preservatives, chemical stabilizers or artificial coloring. Chews-4-Health is CONVIENIENT, OFFERS QUICK ABSORPTION and IS COST EFFECTIVE.

How does Chews-4-Health compare to other multiple vitamins and mineral supplements?
Chews-4-Health contains the very best ingredients from land and sea and offers a tremendous variety of vitamins, naturally occurring minerals, trace minerals, amino acids, anti-oxidants and phyto-nutrients. Why settle for less?

Is Chews-4-Health approved by the FDA?
Government agencies, including the FDA do not approve any dietary supplements. The FDA does however, have manufacturing guidelines pertaining to quality standards and labeling laws. Manufacturing facilities are subject to FDA inspection to regulate and ensure that Guidelines (General Manufacturing Practices- GMPs) are being followed. Chews-4-Health’s manufacturer has earned an “A” rating from the National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Certification Program. This prestigious certification and GMP standing assures Chews-4-Health Inc.’s commitment to bringing you the highest quality ingredients and the most stringent standards in the industry.

What benefit is there to chewing a supplement vs. swallowing it in pill form?
Before you eat food, you chew it first. There’s a scientific reason for that. Digestion actually begins in the mouth. Your teeth break up food into small particles and your saliva, which contains 3 digestive enzymes, breaks down the proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and this takes place even before you swallow. If you swallow vitamin and minerals in a pill form, you are skipping this vital part of the digestive process and many of these pills never completely absorb in your body. Absorption of the nutrients in Chews-4-Health begins immediately after the first bite.

Is Chews-4-Health recommended for a Vegan or Vegetarian diet?
Yes. Chews-4-Health contains no dairy products or ingredients of animal origin. In addition to a variety of fruits and vegetables from land and sea, Chews-4-Health also contains Vitamin B12. Vegetarians often have low serum B12 levels and since there isn’t an adequate source of vitamin B12 in plant foods, The American Dietetic Association has stated that vegetarians are at risk of a vitamin B12 deficiency and supplementing their diets with B12 is highly recommended. See http://www.vegansociety.com/html/food…

Are there any scientific studies conducted on the ingredients in Chews-4-Health?
Yes. The ingredients that make up Chews-4-Health were carefully selected BECAUSE of the science that backs them up.

How many Chews-4-Health ChewTabs should I take per day?
The recommended dosage for adults is 2 ChewTabs per day and for children above 4, take 1 ChewTab daily.

What is the difference between Chews-4-Health and a chewable multi-vitamin?
The difference is night and day. Many chewable multi-vitamins are entirely synthetic (man made) and contain no natural sources. Chews-4-Health contains natural super-fruits and sea vegetables combined with an exclusive proprietary antioxidant/vitamin blend and healthy select fruit concentrates.

SIZEON®
Powerful Intra/Post Lean Mass and Strength Increasing Creatine Formula
Take performance to the highest level with SizeOn®, the “last word” in ultra-enhancing sports supplements and the true innovation in intra-workout drinks. SizeOn helps to increase athletic performance through faster muscle cell recuperation from training, increased and more efficient ATP storage, and maximal elevation of mitochondrial energy creation through the power of creatine. This translates into tangible and highly visible increases in size, strength and endurance via maximal muscle cell recuperation and mitochondrial reengineering. So what’s the bottom line? SizeOn is the final say in decreasing muscle recovery time while increasing muscle energy creation and storage.*

WHAT DOES SIZEON® DO?
• Maximizes Muscle Cell Volume*
• Increased Muscle Cell ATP Concentration From Exogenous Dosing*
• Speeds Recuperation Time From Both Aerobic and Anaerobic Training*
• Increases Oxygen & Nutrient Delivery to Muscle Cells*
• Optimizes Intravascular Fluid Levels and Flow for Unimaginable Pumps*
• Supports the Increased Muscle Cell Energy Needs of Hard Training Athletes*

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do I have to take SizeOn on both non-training (off) days and training days?
A: No. For budget minded training enthusiasts SizeOn can be taken only on training days. Taking it on off days before bed just ensures maximal cell volumization at all times.
Q: The directions state to mix SizeOn in 20oz of water so what if I want to mix it with more or with less?
A: The directions are a general guideline and ultimately, the amount of water you use affects the taste greatly. If you like sweeter drinks, less water is needed. If the taste is too strong, feel free to add more water.
Q: Does SizeOn on contain enough creatine for an athlete or bodybuilder?
A: Yes and our clinical research on the product itself is proof of this.

HOW TO USE SIZEON®
There are a handful of popular ways to take SizeOn. Since it is suggested that you take SizeOn every day, let’s talk about Training Days first:

Though many athletes take SizeOn just after working out for its remarkable rejuvenating properties and ability to recharge muscle cells, most would agree that because SizeOn works so fast and so noticeably on strength, physical energy and muscle belly size, they prefer to start drinking upon beginning their workout, finishing it halfway through or continuing to drink it throughout the entire workout. Others might choose to drink the entire serving down just before their 1st set.

On Non-Training Days, SizeOn can be taken any time during the day…even before bed, though the most popular practice is to consume a serving of SizeOn about the same time of day that would if you were training.

Mix one scoop of SizeOn with 16 to 20oz of cold water or juice in a shaker cup, tall glass, or blender and drink once a day at whatever time you prefer. Use of a shaker cup is the most popular and convenient way to drink SizeOn since it is ideal for carrying around the gym while you exercise.

Regardless of your training schedule or other personal preferences, one scoop of SizeOn, once a day, is all you need to experience its remarkable proven results.

Abstract

Background: Simvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylcoenzyme A reductase inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and plays an important role in both the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Danazol is a steroid analogue approved for the treatment of endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, and hereditary angioedema. Despite not being licensed, danazol has been used for other off-label indications, such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and aplastic anemia.

Objective: We report a case of fatal rhabdomyolysis that occurred after concomitant administration of simvastatin and danazol in a patient with ITP.

Case summary: An 80-year-old white male (height, 182 cm; weight, 90 kg) presented to the emergency department of the Clinical Hospital Centre Zemun, Belgrade, Serbia, with head injuries after an accidental fall caused by generalized weakness. He denied other complaints, except fatigue, mild pretibial edema, and progressive bilateral leg pain and cramping that began 7 days before. At the time of presentation, he was receiving aspirin 100 mg/d, clopidogrel 75 mg/d, ramipril 2.5 mg/d, pantoprazole 40 mg/d, danazol 600 mg/d, prednisone 60 mg/d, simvastatin 40 mg/d, and longacting insulin 24 IU/d. After the injuries were treated, he was diagnosed with collapse and nasal contusion, and discharged without any changes in his therapy. Two days after initial presentation, the patient was readmitted to the hospital due to nausea, dark urine, and oliguria. All clinical signs (oliguria, dark urine, muscle pain, and tenderness) and laboratory markers (creatine kinase levels not, vert, similar100 times the upper limit of normal, along with hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hypoalbuminemia) were consistent with severe rhabdomyolysis. Despite intravenous hydration, forced diuresis, and hemodialysis, oliguria persisted and the patient died 6 days after admission. A score of 5 on the Naranjo adverse drug reaction probability scale was consistent with a probable association of rhabdomyolysis and concomitant treatment with simvastatin and danazol in this patient.

Conclusions: Statin-induced rhabdomyolysis must be considered whenever muscle or motor symptoms occur, especially when concomitant treatment with known inhibitors of statin metabolism is administered. Patients must be strictly monitored and the statin should be promptly discontinued with the onset of first signs and symptoms of myopathy. Clinicians should be aware of the potentially fatal consequences of both approved and unapproved treatments and be alert for the early detection of toxicity.

Key words: simvastatin; danazol; rhabdomyolysis
