DESICCATED LIVER - The ultimate supplement
Desiccated Liver is without doubt the best supplement on the market and many have called it the perfect food. Its rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals, nucleic acid, lipotropics, antioxidants, cytochrome P450 (an enzyme involved in steriod production and detoxification) as well as a host of other important nutrients. Desiccated Liver has been used by bodybuilders, powerlifters and other athletes for decades to increase strength, enhance appitite, reduce recovery times and fatigue, support liver function and detoxify the body. Its also a very effective blood builder and helps increase red blood cell count as well as one of the best sources of heme iron.
"Sports Anemia" as its called occurs when muscle fibres are damaged during intense exercise training and if there is inadequate protein intake then the body draws upon haemoglobins and red blood cells to repair the muscle. Endurance athletes have discovered the benefits of desiccated liver and the heme iron found within. Heme iron is responcible for the haemoglobin's ability to carry oxygen within red blood cells which means that when the need for energy is drawn from the foods we eat an "oxidation" occurs in the body. If we can improve the amount of oxidation performed in the body then we can offset fatigue that comes from intense and long sessions of exercise.
In a classic experiment, Dr. B. H. Ershoff demonstrated that liver extract was able to boost strength endurance, performance and resistance to stress and disease. In a nutshell here's how this occurred:- Dr. Ershoff took three groups of rats and fed them controlled diets for a twelves week period. Group one ate a basic fortified with vitamins and minerals. Group two ate as much as they wanted of the same diet plus B vitamins and brewers yeast. Group three ate the basic diet but had 10% desiccated liver added to their rations. Then the doctor placed the rats one by one into a drum of water, out of which they could not climb. Therefore it was either swim or drown. Group one rats swam an average of 13.4 minutes before they all drowned. Group two, an average of 13.4 minutes. Group three rats, however, were still swimming at the end of two hours, at which time the experiment was concluded.
Liver also contains nucliec acid and for years people thought the body could make enough nucliec acids via de nova nucleotide synthetc pathways. This isnt the case. There are times the body needs more i.e. when the body undergoing rapid growth, limited food supply and metabolic stress. In other words, when you are training hard to either gain mass or shed fat. Under these tough conditions, metabolic demands exceeds the capacity of de nova synthasis and nucleic acids become conditionally essential nutrients.
There is also evidence that intense exercise induces iron deficiency therefore you need a "Boost".
Directions: 1 to 3 tablets three times per day. For athletes and sports people:- Best results have been recorded at taking 30 tablets per day i.e. 6 every other hour. Note: these directions are for taking Roy Duval's Boost ONLY: Always follow the directions on other products.
Desiccated liver that has synthetic or elemental iron can lead to overdosing. Duval's Desiccated Liver is 100% natural.
