WHICH PRODUCT IS BEST FOR ME?

 When faced with a wall of products at your local supplement store it can be confusing to know just which is the best one for you.  It can take hours to read the labels of every product in the store (if you have that much time), and even though the sales assistant does everything they can to help make your choice easier, sometimes it's best to do a little research first to determine which type of product is best for you.

To make product selection easier we've highlighted the benefits of each of our products and given a suggestion as to what type of person might use it.  As you will see, the same product can be suited to a few different uses or types of activities. 

The bottom line is that whichever International Protein product you choose you can be sure you are getting a quality product without any gimmicky ingredients that don't work.

PROTEIN FOR ENDURANCE ATHLETES

Endurance athletes are consistently pushing their bodies to new limits to achieve better performance. The required training to compete in endurance events means athletes are always thought to be in a state of recovery. This is due to athletes training 5-7 days per week with one or more sessions per day, resulting in less than the recommended 24-48 hr recovery period.  As endurance athletes we go to great lengths to have the best equipment and training programs and make sure the equipment stays in good working order. However, an extremely important piece of the performance puzzle is often overlooked; nutrition and supplementation.

READ IT AND GROW

A guide to understanding nutrition labels that help you get the most out of what you eat.  I get a lot of requests from people who train regularly to give them a 'diet'. Now, unless they have a contest coming up in about 3-5 five months time I refuse to give them a 'diet'. That might sound a bit strange at first, but from my experience of having prepared numerous diets for people in the past, the only time most of us have the will power to stick to a rigid, structured diet is when cutting up for a competition (and even then it's not a walk in the park).

So if you're not planning on doing a competition, but you want to be sure what you eat will maximise your ability to grow or lean up, what do you do? The answer is simple; READ BEFORE YOU EAT!

KEEPING IT CLEAN: THE LOWDOWN ON LIVER CLEANSING

I tend to focus a lot on nutrition; putting the right type and amount of food into the body to get the right physical 'look' on stage and high level of performance in the gym.  I pay a lot of attention to which supplements will help improve recovery, burn fat, increase strength etc, but I've never really taken much notice of preventative medicine, herbs or ways of enhancing nutrition by improving the function of the liver or other major bodily organs, until now that is!   After talking to a few of the Pro's about their diets and nutrition ideas, there seemed to be a common theory that kept popping up: Liver Cleansing.

So what is Liver Cleansing and why is it important, particularly to a bodybuilder?  I'd heard of the liver cleansing diet but never really looked into it.  I also knew the liver has many important functions and it's 'health' is critical to our overall health, but I realized I really needed to do a little more research into the subject.  Hopefully what I've learned (and put into practice) about supplements to help cleanse your liver will help you get that extra 10% from all the good work you're already doing in the nutrition department, and lead to even greater and more noticeable results in your performance and appearance.
