GREGORY CHANDLER ON CoQ10

I often discuss CoQ10, one of my favorite supplements.  CoQ10 is an antioxidant that aids and abets healthy brain functioning.  CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone, is found in all human cell membranes and within the mitochondria.  CoQ10 performs many important functions within the body, including preventing damage to cell membranes due to free radical exposure.  CoQ10 is considered to be a safe supplement with no known drug interactions.

GREGORY CHANDLER--SAMe As a Motivator

Most individuals have trouble getting motivated for a workout at times.  Studies have shown
that SAMe can boost motivation.  SAMe naturally helps support the actions of hormones and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, melatonin, dopamine and adrenaline.  Some research suggests
that SAMe works by enhancing the impact of mood regulators, including serotonin and dopamine.

Gregory Chandler--Muscle Building and Endurance

An age-old question is can one promote muscle building and endurance at the same time.  Many take the view that muscle building and endurance are not mutually exclusive. 

Many athletes such as cyclists, long distance runners, and swimmers sometimes worry about a possible loss of endurance when one adds weight training to their programs.  However, most studies have shown that maximal oxygen consumption is not affected by weight training, despite the decrease in the number of mitochondria per square millimeter of muscle tissue that occurs because of the increase in muscle size produced by strength training.  Myoglobin, an important oxygen-transport protein molecule, is maintained in muscles that increase in size, and this preserves oxygen transport from capillaries to mitochondria even when diffusion distance is increased. 

The conclusion is that one can build muscle power without destroying endurance.

Gregory Chandler--Hydroxycitric Acid

Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is the active compound from the garcinia cambogia fruit, which helps
to interrupt the process of moving carbohydrates into storage as body fat.
 
HCA helps to burn more fat during exercise and can help you train longer.  HCA works by altering the activity of the genes that control fat, carbohydrate metabolism, and hunger.

Gregory Chandler - 5-HTP

5-hydroxytryptophan is better known as 5-HTP.  5-HTP is thought to be a non-prescription means to lessen anxiety, insomnia, and mood disorders. 

5-HTP, an amino acid, serves a very important role as the middle element between tryptophan and the brain chemical serotonin.  Taking 5-HTP has been shown to significantly improve depression and anxiety. 

Individuals trying to diet may find 5-HTP helpful.  The supplement is an effective means to help with irritability, anxiety, and insomnia that often comes with a calorie reduced diet.

Gregory Chandler - Phishing, Pharming, and Crimeware

I often write about phishing and other computer attacks. 

Phishing atacks are spam e-mails.  These attacks are often very authentic-looking.  For example, they may appear to be from a bank, finance provider, or retailer.  Sometimes you may actually do transactions with the actual business.  These spam e-mails hope to achieve success and direct you to fake websites. 

Pharming are computer attacks that hijack legitimate domain names to lure unsuspecting consumers.  The goal is to collect credit card numbers, account names, and passwords. 

Crimeware are programs that capture information directly from users' personal computers using keystroke loggers.  Crimeware goes largely unnoticed but for a slight slowdown in computer performance.
