Protein Powder 

As a former Australian and World Champion Bodybuilder, Grant Mayo introduced his own line of Sports Nutrition supplements, Genetix Nutrition, to help others achieve their peak physical condition.

Screen_Shot_2020-08-24_at_9.07.34_pm.pngProtein powder is also an alternative for those looking to reduce calorie intake (weight management), those with difficulty digesting solid proteins (e.g., meat, cheese), and older adults seeking to maintain protein intake while addressing age-related anabolic resistance (a reduced rate of protein synthesis that occurs with increasing age).

If you are 40+ and want more details on the benefits of protein as you age, visit this site focused on 40+ fitness.

Genetix Nutrition products are developed by an internal research team, with support from Grant Mayo, to ensure the highest quality and product performance. Particular attention has been given to Genetix Nutrition's manufacturing, with a focus on taste and results.

Creatine Monohydrate creatine copy

One of the most researched supplements, creatine, has over 40 years of research and clinical data. Most of this research has focused on the role of creatine supplementation in muscle development. The typical finding is that taking approximately 5 g per day supports muscle function and recovery, enabling more repetitions and, therefore, greater strength gains.

More recently, brain function, memory and processing speed have been the focus. Why? The brain consumes 20% of total body energy demand but weighs only 2% of body weight. Researchers are exploring the use of 10-15 g/day, taken in several 5 g doses, and reporting a trend toward faster brain processing, reduced fatigue, and improved cognitive function in sleep-deprived individuals. It could be a good prevention strategy for neurodegenerative diseases like alzheimers and dementia.

 

Pure Marine CollagenScreen_Shot_2020-08-24_at_10.07.58_pm.png

Marine collagen is a complex structural protein that helps maintain the strength and flexibility of skin, ligaments, joints, bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, gums, eyes, nails and hair. It is the most abundant protein in the body, acting as the “glue” that holds the body together to naturally support healthy skin, hair, nails, bones & joints.

As we age, our body’s production of collagen decreases, resulting in signs of aging and bodily "wear and tear", most noticeably in the skin and hair, e.g., wrinkles, sagging skin, finer or greying hair, and also brittle nails, aching joints, and weaker bones. Naturalia Pure Marine Collagen is a daily nutritional boost to complement the body’s collagen stores to support the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints.

 

Ultra Muscleze - Night UltraMag

One of the most common problems with magnesium intake is that the molecule size is too large, and the majority of the consumed product is not absorbed. Bioceuticals have minimised this by creating UltraMag®, a highly bioavailable blend of magnesium chelates. This high-strength magnesium powder is designed to support muscle relaxation, reduce nervous energy, and improve sleep quality. It also includes choline, myo-inositol (reduces anxiety and helps to maintain sleep), and Lactium® to support stress reduction.

 

 

Ultra Muscleze - Night + L-Theanine Ultra Mg theanine

A practitioner-only product, specifically designed to assist in achieving quality sleep. It includes three key ingredients that have been tested individually and found to support a strong sleep habit.

  • Bioavailable UltraMag® with glycinate – 300 mg magnesium per daily dose, which supports healthy sleeping patterns (specifically sleep onset), muscle relaxation, and relieves excess nervous energy when dietary intake is inadequate.
  • AlphaWave® L-theanine – 200 mg per daily dose, which calms the mind, relieves symptoms of stress, and anxiety.
  • Myo-inositol – 500 mg per daily dose, which supports nervous system health, reduces anxiety and helps people to stay asleep.

Please note that it is not recommended that you take theanine if you experience intense dreams or sleepwalking. Rather, use Ultra Muscleze, as it contains the same bioavailable UltraMag magnesium source.
