MRI Anabolic Switch : Highly specialized creatine for 'round the clock anabolism!

What is creatine?
Creatine improves muscular strength & power output during short bursts of intense activity such as weight-training, sprinting, power-lifting & Olympic-lifting by drawing water into muscle cells & increasing the production of ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate).
What is Anabolic Switch?
Anabolic Switch is a timed-release creatine formula comprising 7 different forms of creatine, providing all-day anabolism. When your body is in an anabolic state, it's building and triggering the growth of new muscle tissue.
How is this different to other creatine supplements on the market?
Most other creatine supplements on the market such as those in monohydrate or ethyl ester form will simply improve strength over the course of a workout but will later leave your system. Anabolic Switch will actually keep your strength and power levels up all day long by linking each creatine source together so that as one source leaves the bloodstream, the next one enters it. This allows your muscle cells to be constantly saturated with creatine throughout the day. By adding 8 essential amino acids to the formula, Anabolic Switch becomes your 1-stop product for complete anabolism!
How do I use Anabolic Switch?
For best results, take 2 servings daily.
On training days : take 1 serve 30 minutes before training, and another serve within 30 minutes of completing your training session...
On non-training days : take 1 serve in the morning (outside of food), and another serve in the evening before bed...
*NOTE* make sure you are consuming a minimum of 3 litres of water each day to make sure your muscle cells are absorbing enough and to further prevent gastric upset.

Powerbalance Bands - Back in Stock!

What is Power Balance?
Power Balance is performance technology that uses holograms embedded with frequencies that react positively with your body’s natural energy field.
Balance • Strength • Flexibility

How does it work?
Most everything has a frequency inherent to it. Some frequencies react positively with your body and others negatively. When the hologram comes in contact with your body’s energy field, it allows your body to interact with the natural, beneficial frequency stored within the hologram. This results in improved energy flow throughout your body!

Powerbalance bands are available in a range of sizes and colours. Come in and try one on today!

What's in your Bathroom Cabinet?

Come on, lets be honest, Do you really know what goes on in all of those jars, pots and tubes of cosmetics you use? Have you ever looked at the label and wondered what on earth the ingredients were? Bearing in mind that scientists now agree that at least 80% of the 200 different types of cancers known today are related to the synthetic and toxic chemicals we use in everyday life, it is now more important than ever to read your labels and become a conscious consumer.

Skin is the largest eliminatory organ of the body, a two way membrane, which eliminates toxins through perspiration, and absorbs them into the body via hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Considering we have 65 hairs and 100 sebaceous glands per inch of skin, you can be pretty certain that a large percentage of what you are putting on your skin is getting absorbed into your body!

Here are some of the most important ones to look out for:
1,4-Dioxane: A chemical which does not occur naturally and is petrochemically derived. 1,4-Dioxane is of large concern to industry regulatory bodies due to its well documented carcinogenic (cancer causing) potential.
Parabens: Used mainly to extend the shelf life of cosmetic products. Parabens have been shown to mimic oestrogen in the body (capable of binding to oestrogen receptor sites), and increase the expression of genes that are regulated by oestradiol (shown to proliferate breast tumour cells in vitro studies).
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS): Found in most commercial shampoos, conditioners, toothpastes, cleansing lotions, foaming bath oils, and liquid soaps. Alarmingly, studies have indicated that SLS enters and maintains residual levels in the heart, the liver, the lungs and the brain after skin contact.

Other nasties to look out for include propylene glycol, nitrosamines, artificial fragrances, and ethoxylates. A full listing can be found in a book called ‘The Chemical Maze’ (RRP $14.95) by Bill Statham (a handy little shopping companion that lists all food additives and cosmetic ingredients).

Ok, so now we know what to look out for on our labels, what are the alternatives?
Fortunately these days there are plenty of products out there which are natural and absolutely safe to use. Some of my personal favourites (which we stock here at Evelyn Faye Nutrition) include Akin, Alchemy, Biologika, Nude by Nature, Renew, Giovanni, LaPurete, AUM, Natural Instinct, Burts Bee’s, Lavera, Weleda, Grants & Red Seal (Toothpastes), plus many more!

If you would like to know more about the chemicals in cosmetics and products visit ‘Skin Deep: The Cosmetics Database’ (http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/) a safety guide to cosmetics and personal care products, or pop in and have a chat with us here at Evelyn Faye Nutrition, South Melbourne.

Lacuma - 'Gold of the Incas'

Lúcuma, a delicious smelling, gorgeous tasting (similar to maple syrup!) nutrient dense fruit from Peru. It is known in Peru as the "Gold of the Incas" and the Lucuma name has been honoured both spiritually and culinary since ancient times.

Lúcuma fruit provides an excellent source of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fibre, and is partiularly high in beta-carotene, Vitamin B3 (niacin) and Iron...and did I mention its Yum?!

Lúcuma powder is really versatile and tasty, blending easily and well with ice-creams, baby food, yogurts, pies, cakes, cookies, smoothies, chocolate bars and desserts of all kinds.

Here at Evelyn Faye Nutrition in South Melbourne we stock the 'Loving Earth' brand of Raw Organic Lucuma powder, and might I suggest that you try some today!! :)
