Cyclic Dextrin – This is pure carbohydrates. Studies have proven this supplement is effective in
raising glucose in the blood and converting to energy very quickly. Personally, I’d advise that you use
it as either an intra workout, or if your carb intake is quite high during muscle building phases, and
you struggle to meet the daily requirements. It doesn’t bloat you and it is efficient just like a complex
carb. Great stuff. However not to be relied upon as a meal replacement.
Yohimbine HCL – This is a natural product help to burn fat. Science has proven it works well when
combined with coffee during fasted training. Accelerating fat loss. However, it may have little effect
when combined with food. This works well when on a cutting program and you train in a fasted
state. Yohimbine works by increasing adrenaline levels in the body, as well as inhibiting a regulatory
process in fat cells, which normally suppresses fat burning. It can also help with your sex drive. It can
however interact with neurological medication and in very rare cases bring on anxiety. So be careful
before taking it. I personally will not advise on non-natural fat burners as 99% of them are a waste of
money and can be dangerous.
Vitamins: Due to the problems in today’s food products it has been established that many of the
vitamins we need have become lessened by the way food is produced. So, , a nice arrangement of

body daily. You can research quite easily the daily requirements for individuals.

Pre-workout: A decent can come in handy but then so can a decent black coffee. But as I’ve just
discussed make sure you buy a decent brand. I’ve given listed companies on the next page to look at.
Electrolytes: I find that electrolytes can be beneficial for intra and post workouts. Helping to
recharge the body and assist in avoiding the crash. They help to balance the levels of salts and
minerals such as sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate. Again, look at the list overleaf for
what I consider decent brands.
Nucleotides: A good supply of dietary nucleotides with specific B Vitamins are essential for the
natural proliferation of certain types of cells. These are white blood/immune blood cells, red
blood/oxygen cells, gut lining cells, good gut micro flora.
