ANS Ultra-Lite – Burn Fat and Improve Energy Levels
ANS Ultra-Lite just flat out makes you feel good, this fat burning energy enhancer also turns out to be a pretty good mood elevator. Reducing calorie intake reduces dopamine production in the brain leading to sluggishness and binge eating. Ultra-Lite is designed to offset the effect of lower calories by increasing energy and improving well-being. Its natural appetite suppressors also keep appetite and cravings under control. High energy plus low appetite will equal weight loss.
In addition Ultra-Lite uses a thermogenic component to increase calorie burning even while the body is at rest. By causing your body to become energy inefficient you waste excess calories as heat allowing you to burn more calories throughout each day.
While most “fat burning” products are little more than massive doses of stimulants there are natural ingredients that can burn fat and improve body composition. Unfortunately most companies don’t use them. If you look at the most effective body recompositioning drugs you find beta-2-agonists. Clenbuterol is a well-known one, but salbutamol and fenoterol are also beta-2-agonists. What they have in common is that they stimulate the beta-2-adrenoreceptor in the body, thus promoting a decrease of fat mass. Use of the substances is forbidden in sport and supplement makers are not allowed to put them in their products. However, a class of amino acids found in cocoa has been shown to produce similar effects. These amino acids are in the bean, as well as other parts of the plant. The cocoa plant probably manufactures them to increase its resistance against disease and other forms of plant stress.
The amino acids in question are metabolites of tyrosine and go by the name of clovamide. Clovamide and its analogues imitate the effects of clenbuterol in test-tube trials. This was discovered in research done at the Phytonutrients Laboratory, part of the American ministry of agriculture, and published in 2005 in FASEB Journal.
The researchers introduced clovamide and its analogues to immune cells with beta-2-receptors. To determine how well the substances were capable of stimulating the receptor the researchers measured the cAMP concentration. The more cAMP the cells produced, the better the beta-2-receptor stimulated clovamide and its analogues. Within this category of substances, clovamide and its analogue N-coumarolydopamine are the most powerful beta-2-agonists.
One of the more interesting fat burning compounds that has been discovered recently is curcumin. A review of literature by scientists from the University of Buffalo concluded that curcumin helps regulate fat metabolism and is an effective supplement for promoting weight loss and preventing heart disease, diabetes, and inflammation.
Curcumin decreases insulin resistance and promotes normal blood sugar metabolism. It may also promote health by reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals – which amount to a kind of biological rust that impairs the immune system, breaks down DNA, and promotes aging.
To maximize energy and improve mood ANS turned to Sulbutiamine. Sulbutiamine is a synthetic analogue of thiamine, or vitamin B1. Its slightly different structure means it enters cells more easily than regular vitamin B1 does. As a result of this thiamine analogues – including sulbutiamine – show a performance enhancing effect in animal studies. Sulbutiamine also increases mental alertness, improves cognitive functioning, reduces chronic fatigue, and can also be effective in boosting ones mood, by creating a feeling of euphoria similar to caffeinated beverages but without the jitters.
Ultra-Lite activates fat burning mechanisms in your body while simultaneously blocking the internal biochemistry that prevents you from burning fat. Under normal conditions your body will adjust to weight loss and dieting by slowing your metabolic rate. This is the reason so many people have difficulty losing weight and why they often gain lost weight back.
ANS Diesel Force – Energy Meets Performance
Imagine having something available that helps you train BEYOND YOUR LIMITS. The goal when designing Diesel Force was to use ingredients with legitimate scientific backing, that showed real performance benefits. A product designed with proven ingredients at proven doses that, together, create a perfect mix of energy, focus and performance enhancement.
Diesel Force uses research proven-effective ingredients in their research-backed dosages together in a formula that will truly enhance your training results. Diesel Force is more than a “pump” product or an “insane energy buzz” product that only provides temporary results. Diesel Force is a product that will deliver actual improvements in your performance and physique.
Improving the Energy Equation
Caffeine and other stimulant centric ingredients are great for providing a quick energy fix but can lead to a crash and often have diminishing effects over time. Diesel Force has paired traditional stimulants like caffeine with other ingredients like Sulbutiamine and N-Methyl Tyramine designed to enhance energy while minimizing the weak points of traditional stimulants. Sulbutiamine is a synthetic analogue of thiamine, or vitamin B1. Its slightly different structure means it enters cells more easily than regular vitamin B1 does. As a result of this thiamine analogues including sulbutiamine show a performance enhancing effect in studies. The results of studies suggest that they may have a modest muscle-building effect as well. Sulbutiamine also increases mental alertness, improves cognitive functioning, reduces chronic fatigue, and can also be effective in boosting ones mood, by creating a feeling of euphoria similar to caffeinated beverages but without the jitters.
Changing Body Composition
Among the most effective body recompositioning drugs are the beta-2-agonists. Of which Clenbuterol is probably the most well known. What they have in common is that they stimulate the beta-2-adrenoreceptor in the body, thus promoting an increase of muscle mass and decrease of fat mass. Use of the substances is forbidden in sport and supplements makers are not allowed to put them in their products. However, a class of amino acids found in cocoa has been shown to produce similar results. These amino acids are located in the bean, and throughout the rest of the plant. The cocoa plant probably manufactures them to increase resistance against disease and other forms of plant stress.
The amino acids in question are metabolites of tyrosine. Which also go by the name of clovamide. Clovamide and its analogues imitate the effects of clenbuterol in test-tube trials. This was discovered in research done at the Phytonutrients Laboratory, part of the American ministry of agriculture, and published in 2005 in FASEB Journal.

The more cAMP the cells produced, the better the beta-2-receptor stimulated clovamide and its analogues. Within this category of substances, clovamide and its analogue N-coumarolydopamine are the most powerful beta-2-agonists
Building Muscle While Losing Body Fat
Building muscle is difficult and not many natural compounds can truly help with the muscle building process. A new compound produced from the peel of an apple has proven effective at accelerating muscle growth and is now available in nutritional supplements. The fatty layer of an apple peel contains a compound that has an anabolic effect, write researchers from the University of Iowa in Cell Metabolism. It’s called ursolic acid, but also goes by the shorter name of malol. In tests on mice, the compound caused their muscles to grow and fat mass to shrink.
The researchers from Iowa stumbled upon the anabolic properties of ursolic acid when they were examining cells from muscle tissue that where wasting. They determined which genes in the cells were active during the process of muscular atrophy. Then they searched databases for substances that had the opposite effect. The most promising substance that they found was ursolic acid.
The researchers gave this to fasting mice and observed that the ursolic acid led to a reduction in the processes of muscle atrophy. They then did a second round of experiments in which a control group was given ordinary feed and another group was given feed containing 0.27 percent ursolic acid. A five-week course of ursolic acid resulted in growth of the quadriceps and the mice grew stronger. The activity of the catabolic genes MuRF-1 and Atrogin-1 declined in the muscle cells. In contrast, the activity of the gene for IGF-1 increased, as did the concentration of IGF-1 in the blood. Molecular signaling molecules, like the receptor for IGF-1, Akt and S6K, were switched on.
In the studies ursolic acid also reduced the fat cells’ emission of leptin, the concentrations of triglycerides and cholesterol, and even the fasting glucose level. All of these are positive effects.
The researchers suspect that ursolic acid’s prime target is the IGF-1 receptor. This becomes more sensitive and as a result the IGF-1 that is present in the body works better.
Increasing the Work Load
Not to be out done by some of the more novel ingredients, the Diesel Force formula also includes COP or Creatinol O Phosphate as well as Creatine Citrate.
Creatinol O Phosphate or COP increases levels of ATP in the muscle, and this may be due in part because of its actions as an intracellular buffer, a phosphate donor, and a stabilizer of cell membranes. The end result is that contractility (force of contraction) of muscles is increased – especially in low oxygen, low blood flow conditions. These conditions would be present during demanding activity such as weight training.
When you are performing an explosive activity like weight training you are going to create conditions in which lactic acid increases and PH drops in the muscle. ATP levels also drop as you perform intense activity. These are the conditions that cause muscle failure. So what happens when you supplement with Creatinol O Phosphate? Your muscles are able to generate a greater amount of force which leads to strength gains, and increased muscular endurance.
The citrate form of creatine is composed of a creatine molecule that is attached to a citric acid molecule. Citric acid is an intermediate of the Krebs cycle (the metabolic pathway that produces aerobic energy within muscle). In other words, citric acid is important for energy production. Because of this, creatine taken with citrate may provide greater muscular energy than creatine alone.
ANS Diesel Force is a true advancement in the pre-workout category as it blends the benefits of energy, pump, and real performance into a single product.
Phenol in cocoa has a Fat Burning Effect
Among the most effective body recompositioning drugs are the beta-2-agonists. Clenbuterol is probably the most well known. What they have in common is that they stimulate the beta-2-adrenoreceptor in the body, thus promoting a decrease of fat mass.

These amino acids are in the bean, and parts of the plant. The cocoa plant probably manufactures them to increase its resistance against disease and other forms of plant stress.

Ursolic acid is also present in basil, blueberries, cranberries, rosemary, oregano, thyme and plums. And speaking of plums: researchers at the American department of agriculture discovered in 2006 that prunes (dried plums) boost the concentration of IGF-1. They had no explanation for this, but it might be that ursolic acid explains the special effects of prunes.
The researchers from Iowa stumbled upon the anabolic properties of ursolic acid when they were examining cells from muscle tissue that was wasting. They determined which genes in the cells were active during the process of muscular atrophy. Then they searched databases for substances that had the opposite effect. The most promising substance they found was ursolic acid.
The researchers gave this to fasting mice and observed that the ursolic acid led to a reduction in the processes of muscle atrophy. They then did a second round of experiments, in which the mice were given as much to eat as they wanted. A control group was given ordinary feed and another group was given feed containing 0.27 percent ursolic acid.

Best post-workout shake is a mixture of Whey and Casein
Proteins taken ahead of a training session and immediately after – is good nutrition for a strength athlete. And now researchers have found a way of tweaking this basic principle, in a study done by sports scientists at Baylor University in 2006. According to their research, the best post-workout shake contains a combination of fast and slow protein.
The researchers got 36 men aged between 23 and 29 to do weight training for 10 weeks. The men had all been doing weight training for at least a year, and were all given the same training schedule. They trained 4 times a week, working through all the large muscle groups in the body in 2 sessions. The men started with sets of 10 reps and ended with sets of 6 reps.
On the days that they didn’t train, the subjects drank a shake in the morning. On all the other days they drank a shake as soon as possible after finishing their training session, and not longer than 2 hours later.
The placebo group drank a shake that contained only carbohydrates. The first experimental group drank a shake containing 40 g whey protein, 3 g BCAAs and 5 g glutamine. The second experimental group drank a shake containing 40 g whey protein, 8 g casein.
After 10 weeks the group drinking whey and casein had progressed more than the other groups on all counts.
Look for a protein product like Intek Evolution or Pro Complete 40 which combines both whey and casein protein.
High Doses of Caffeine Increase Exercise Capacity
Many athletes take caffeine before workouts to increase energy levels and strength. A study from Cal State University found that high doses of caffeine (approximately 400mg) increased strength during maximal knee extension-flexion. A lower dose of caffeine had no effect on strength-endurance. High doses of caffeine where able to increase high-intensity strength-endurance by about 6 to 8 percent.
