lifter, this would be 122 - 164 grams of protein per day. Since protein has 4 calories per gram, then this amount of protein would comprise 13 - 18 percent of his daily caloric intake of 3700 calories; the usual recommendation is about 12 - 15 percent. As you can see, a huge excess of protein is not needed. It's easy to get enough protein from food -- and quite easy for many people to overdo it. If too much high-fat protein is taken in, and not used, gains may be seen in fat tissue rather than in muscle tissue. AndrostendioneAndrostenedione is a direct precursor hormone to testosterone, as well as to other hormones, including one type of estrogen. It is converted from cholesterol, as are all other steroid hormones. Biochemically, a reaction, or chain of reactions, occurs in order to convert molecule A into molecule B. Specific enzymes and hormones, among other things, must be present and ready to work, so to speak, for these conversions to take place. For example, luteinizing hormone, produced and released by the pituitary gland, plays a pivotal role in converting androstenedione to testosterone. Simply introducing extra androstenedione to your system does not automatically mean that all of the necessary players will be there to produce testosterone. Most clinical studies have shown that gains in muscle mass with Androstenedione are few with possible side effects such as increased risk of heart disease, increased risk of pancreatic cancer, and increase in unwanted breast enlargement.DHEADHEA is naturally produced by the adrenal glands which sit on top of each kidney. We make less of it as we get older and probably 80% less by the time we're 70 years of age. As a dietary supplement it might have a positive effect on awareness and overall sense of well being inpeople over 50. Studies have shown this. In people under 50 it has not been shown to have much effect at all. A dose for people over 50 would be 50mg per day. DHEA is two ste...
