    Supplement Coincidence?

    I've been looking at supplements, seeing if there's any legit addition to my regimen that will give me the last bit of assistance I need before the SoCal meet. And I talked to a gentleman who said "today's supplements are all yesterday's supplements with new names."

    That really stuck in my head because of the recent discussions on Microlactin. Now is it just me or does Microlactin resemble Colostrum big time? Not that it even matters, really. It would expose a supplement industry truth, but if it works, then I want to use it regardless what is in now, then, or ever.
    yay.

    Lol, they are not the same product. Not even close. Do the research on the net.

    I'm not doubting the genuine qualities of the product. Nor the reviews. I'm doubting the product at all. I'm asking how it's different from Colostrum products of 3 years ago. I tried Colostrum and was pleased, and then it was yanked from shelves. If this is at all similar, I'm sold.
    yay.

    It's better, believe me.

    IMO only about 5 percent of supplements I have tried have really done anything worth doing.

    Ephedra (including dymetradine and clenubrx)
    Protein
    Creatine
    LeptiGen
    Black Labs PACT
    Vitamins

    I never have read anything about Colostrum until Ironman Magazine... but found little reviews done on it in the real world. Same goes with this other supplement.

    I've read nothing but good reviews. I think it would make a great addition to the mutant shake I drink after working out every morning.

    And for the record, above I meant to type I'm NOT doubting the product at all.
    yay.

    the thing that I find peculiar is MicroLactin has been around for 15 years now (if I am reading the site/patents correctly), why is it not more widely used?

    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    Robert: I can think of a very good comparison to make. Do you realize how long creatine was around before it was touted as a iron game supplement?

    I can say this in all honesty, I consider myself to be EXTREMELY lucky that I was able to stumble (for lack of a better word) on this product and its efficacy for weightlifters. I will give myself a touch of kudos for adding to its efficacy with the vitamins and minerals.

    LAM: I do not recommend a loading phase. Stolle recommends a 4g load followed by a 2g maintenance when used as a joint therapy supplement. Our product recommends a 4g per day dose with no loading period. I feel 4g per day is the ideal dose for training purposes.

    Unless I am misunderstanding you, the answer would be less than one minute. Read Edward A. Byrd's book. He was the main man behind the creatine movement.

    I believe the answer is about 100 years, but that is not really the same, I was talking about the fact that MicroLactin has patents dating back 15 years.

    Creatine has definitely been around longer than humans. But as a supplement, it was immediately marketed as an "iron game supplement".

    of course, I meant it was first discovered about 100 years ago.

    Lol, everyone knows it all...


    Creatine was first discovered in 1832 by the French scientist Chevreul. In 1912 researchers discovered that ingesting creatine can dramatically boost the creatine content of muscle. In 1927 creatine phosphate was discovered and it was determined that creatine is a key player in the metabolism of skeletal muscle.

    The above information is from Creatine Nature's Muscle Builder by Ray Sahelian M.D. and Dave Tuttle.

    Now, get my point? The product was not marketed as a sports supplement until much later, but it could have been.

    Micro-Lactin has been sold as a joint supplement. The product it is derived from was originally produced in the 50s. As I already said, I (we) have been extremely lucky in our discovery of this product's ergogenic effects for the resistance trained individual. It blows my mind no one had made the connection previously! It is just one of those things.

    If you doubt the efficacy of the product I suggest you give it a try yourself. I am 100% confident you will be suitably impressed.
