Vegetarianism

Random question I've received on Vegetarianism, are we biologically designed to be Vegetarians?

The idea of us being designed as vegetarians is a load of nonsense, without animal food sources we'd die, it's impossible to get vitamin B12 from plant sources, our ancestors would have all died out if they didn't eat animals. Some examples to illustrate the point:

- Iron is better absorbed from animal foods

- Vitamin A from animal foods is better absorbed and much more potent on a weight for weight
basis

- Vitamin K from animal foods is better absorbed and much more potent on a weight for weight
basis

- Vitamin B12 can only be obtained form animal foods, without animal foods our ancestors wouldhave died

- Protein from animal foods is much higher quality than protein from plant foods

- Long chain polyunsaturated essential fats (DHA, AA) are easily obtained from animal foods and
seafood

- The short chain polyunsaturated essential fats (LA, ALA) are converted to DHA and AA with very
poor efficiency

- Almost every single essential mineral is more easily absorbed from animal foods

I actually think it's the other way around, it looks to me as though animal foods should be the staples in our diets.

Steroid Profile - Masteron Propionate

Image
Time for a little profile on one of my favourite compounds, and not just because Genesis produce it, Ladies & Gentlemen I give to you Drostanolone Propionate - Or as we more commonly know it Masteron Propionate - http://genesis-ugl.com/index.php?id_product=20&controller=product Drostanolone Propionate is an anabolic androgenic steroid that first hit the market around 1970 under the trade name Masteron manufactured by Syntex. However, the compound was actually developed by Syntex in 1959 along with Oxymetholone (Anadrol) but would not be released until well after Anadrol. Syntex would also provide the compound under numerous other brand names such as Masteril and Metormon among others, as well as Drolban under the license given by Syntext to Lilly. However, Masteron has remained the most recognizable brand and the name by which we refer to the compound most regularly today. Masteron Functions & Traits: Drostanolone Propionate is a dihydrotesto

Product Breakdown - Genesis UK - Tri Tren - 250mg/ml

Product Breakdown - Genesis UK - Tri Tren - 250mg/ml Trenbolone Acetate - 100mg/ml Trenbolone Enanthate - 100mg/ml Trenbolone Hex - 50mg/ml Tri Tren / Tren Blend 10ml Multidose Vial Active Half Time 14 Days MG of Product 250mg Average Dosage 250mg-1000mg Weekly ML of Product 10ml --- Tri Tren TLDR Trenbolone greatly increases the level of the extremely anabolic hormone IGF-1 within muscle tissue. And, it’s worth noting that not only does it increase the levels of IGF-1 in muscle over two fold, it also causes muscle satellite cells (cells that repair damaged muscle) to be more sensitive to IGF-1 and other growth factors. The amount of DNA per muscle cell may also be significantly increased. Trenbolone also has a very strong binding affinity to the androgen receptor (A.R), binding much more strongly than testosterone. This is important, because the stronger a steroid binds to the androgen receptor the better that steroid works at activating A.R dependent mechani

Aromasin (exemestane)

Image
Exemestane is a steroidal Aromatase Inhibitor (AI) that is most commonly known as  Aromasin . In fact, the Aromasin brand name is the only pharmaceutical grade brand of the Exemestane AI due to the tight patent Upjohn has maintained on the product. While tightly controlled by the pharmaceutical giant, Aromasin is available in numerous countries around the globe. Aromasin was first released on the U.S. market in 2000 after shortly gaining FDA approval a few months prior in 1999. The primary purpose of use as with most AI’s would be to combat breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Shortly after, the AI would begin to gain a lot of popularity among anabolic steroid users for its ability to protect against estrogenic related side effects. This action is very similar to the older and more popular AI’s in Arimidex (Anastrozole) and Femara (Letrozole). It would also gain a fair amount of popularity in Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plans among  steroid users . It was not the first AI to gai
