Axis Labs Makes Sports Supplements

Axis Labs

The sports nutrition industry has grown by epic proportions in the last two decades and it continues to remain a robust industry with increasing sales, and dramatic rise in research and development. The problem with today’s athletes and bodybuilders is not that they don’t have enough choices; it is just that they have too many choices to choose from. And more the choices that harder it becomes to choose. In such an environment, it is safe to go with a name that has been trusted over the years, one which has earned the respect of the earlier generation of athletes and bodybuilders. Axis Labs fits the bill perfectly.

Axis Labs believes in taking the responsibility for their products and are committed to their customers. They believe that every human being has the right to stay fit and healthy and they, in their own way will do everything possible to let that happen. They are dedicated to develop high quality state-of-the-art supplements that are the best available in the market. They don’t believe in promising what they are not going to deliver and instead takes pride in the fact that their products always surpass the expectations of the customers. Such honesty is treasured in today’s nutrition supplements industry.

Based in the legendary Rocky Mountains of Denver Colorado, Axis Labs today has emerged as one of the leading nutrition supplement manufacturer in the entire world. Its products are today available across six continents, a testimony to their growing strength and huge popularity.

The popularity that Axis Labs enjoys is not without a reason. They maintain the highest of standards in ensuring that their products are not only the best, but are also safe for their customers. The quality control starts from the beginning with the raw materials being thoroughly checked to meet their high standards.

One of the greatest fears for any athlete or bodybuilder is to gain fat. Extra fat not only affects their performance physically, but most of them get too worked up about a few extra pounds. And that is obvious because of the fact that most athletes and bodybuilders have short careers and every day is important. But today they need not worry about some extra flab, because the revolutionary products from Axis Labs have made it quite easy for anyone to lose fat.

Pets and Vitamin E, does your dog or cat actually need this vitamin? Not only do they need this vitamin, it is perhaps one of the most important vitamin supplements you could give to your pet. It is so powerful, that many people refer to this vitamin as a wonder vitamin for both your cat and your dog.

However, the very food you may be feeding them may be causing a Vitamin E deficiency in their diet. Vitamin E is one of the most natural antioxidants found in nature, as it is a fat and soluble vitamin that belongs to the tocopherol family of vitamins. A tocopherol is any of the fat soluble vitamins that contain this ingredient, especially alpha-tocopherals that are found mainly in plant leaves, wheat germ oil, and milk.

The major function of vitamin E is to serve your pets body as a chain breaking antioxidant that protects cells and cellular membranes against free radical damages. It is referred to as an antioxidant primarily because it fights the daily battle against oxidation within you pet’s body.

Oxidation is a chemical process that occurs when a material of a compound combines with oxygen, and as a result of this process, that material or compound losses a few of its electrons. Both burning and rusting are examples of oxidation, but they occur at very different speeds.

Redox, which is the word coined to define oxidation reduction or reactions, are those reactions which atoms are changed and or altered. Oxidation can therefore basically be summed up by the loss of an electron by an atom, a molecule, or an ion.

Fruit that spoils, cars that rust, are all like examples of this process, just as aging in your pet or some diseases are, basically because your pet is slowing losing parts of their cellular structure, or essentially rusting or slowing burning away.

Vitamin E helps to dramatically slow the process and to keep the much needed oxygen in your pet’s cellular structure. As important as oxygen is, however, it can also be counter productive when it produces free radicals, which can cause damage internally to your pet. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E assists with balancing both processes.

In your pet’s commercial pet food, vitamin E is added primarily to prevent the oxidation of fatty acids which leads to rancidity, which is the developing of unpleasant flavors in these oils as a result of the oxidation. The process does accomplish this because it essentially neutralizes the free radicals.

However, what most pet owners do not know is that in accomplishing this process, most all of the vitamin E is used up. As a result of this increases in the amount of fatty acids in your pets diet, especially in they are unsaturated which is what most commercial foods are, it must be accompanied by an equal amount of vitamin E, and results in your pet requiring more of the vitamin.

If your pet is fed a pet food that may have been stored for an extended period of time or has been supplemented with large quantities of unsaturated fatty acids, the food that you are feeding them may actually be causing a Vitamin E deficiency in your pet if you are not supplementing your pet with additional amounts of this nutrient.

How long has the food that you are feeding your pet today been stored? Can anyone actually answer that question with certainty?

This wonder vitamin not only helps in the oxidation processes, it does assists in many other extremely important functions for your dog or your cat. Vitamin E is essential for healing diseases in the circulatory system including both heart tachycardia, which is a rapid heart beat, and arteriosclerosis, which is a condition where the artery walls of your pet, is thickened with plague.

This vitamin of many benefits also helps your pet in promoting fertility, helps in preventing cataracts, especially in dogs, slows the aging process as it slows down the burning affect in their body, and assists in the wound healing processes. t also is a huge boost to their immune system and as a result protects their bodies against the several pollutants they face daily as well as protecting against cancer. This vitamin is extremely important if you pet is around second hand smoke.

In cats, this wonder vitamin helps to prevent steatitis, also referred to as yellow fat disease, a disorder that inflames the adipose tissue and the deployment of wax pigments in between the layers of adipose tissues.

In dogs, especially working dogs, it increases endurance and boosts their muscle development and growth. It also helps in dissolving tumors and reliving posterior cramps and disc problems your dogs will all encounter as they rust and age.

The dosages of how much additional Vitamin E you should give your pet will vary and should be discussed with your veterinarian, but there is one thing for certain. Every dog and cat needs additional supplements of this wonder vitamin in their diet.

I am an avid lover of pets and my wife and I have had several pets throughout our years. We are especially fond of dogs, and we have a 12 year old Dalmatian (our 3rd) and a “mutt” that we rescued when someone threw him away to die in a vacant field.

He found us, nearly starved to death, and weighed about 2 pounds.

After severe bouts of mange and severe dehydration, and over 1,000.00 in veterinarian bills, we saved the little guys life, and he is one of the best, if not the best, dogs we have ever had and today is a muscular, fit, and firm 70 pound best friend.

After finishing my MBA, which at middle age was not easy, I decided to keep the research work ethics that I acquired, and devote about two hours each night in understanding the health benefits of supplementation for both humans and pets and how they might strengthen our, as well as our pets, immune system in a preemptive approach to health rather than a reactionary approach.

Both of my daughters are avid cat lovers, and asked me to help them with health concerns and challenges with their cats.

I am not a veterinarian nor claim to be, just a lover of pets that loves to research and pass on some knowledge that might be helpful, or at least stimulating to the thought process.

Several of the articles that I have written can be found on my website;

What Makes Ashtanga Yoga Different?
 by: Michael Hawkins

Ashtanga Yoga is the type of yoga which was created and established by a master named K. Pattabhi Jois. Due to it’s theory containing eight different limbs, or components, it is also known as “Eight-Limb Yoga”. It doesn’t imply that the practitioner has a double set of limbs, but master Pattabhi Jois showed that the optimum path of purification is made up of the eight spiritual practices.

The basic idea is that these limbs only can be kept in balance by the appropriate application of the Ashtanga Yoga method.

The first four limbs that symbolize Ashtanga Yoga, and are considered externally correctable are (original names within double quotes):

- Moral codes or “yama”

- Self-purification or “niyama”

- Posture or “asana”

- Breath control or “pranayama”

Then there is the other set of limbs which are the internal practices:

- Sense control or “pratyahara”

- Meditation or “dhyana”

- Concentration or “dharana”

- Contemplation or “samadhi”

K. Pattabhi Jois declared that practicing these Eight Limbs as well as its sub-limbs of the external practices which contain the niyama and yama is impossible. In doing so, the body should be strong so that it can technically perform the methods well enough. If the body is weak, and the sense organs are not functioning well, practicing will never be productive at all.

This is a primary philosophy that K. Pattabhi Jois has applied, it is of prime importance for the Asthanga practitioner to learn and understand this way of thinking. This will make you confident in that the body will significantly improve and become stronger and healthier.

Vinsaya and Tristhana are performed in Ashtanga Yoga.

The Vinsaya is a style that makes Ashtanga and its fundamental principles different from the others. Vinsaya basically means the movement and breathing which is used effectively together in order to cleanse the body. Each movement done is accompanied by only one breath. Sweat is the most important product of Vinsaya. When you produce sweat, it only indicates that you are successfully applying the method. When you perform the Asanas, or postures, the body produces heat which causes your blood to “boil” and excrete the toxins outside of your body. The contaminations are found in your sweat. So the more sweat you produce, the more toxins are released. This is the natural way for the body to get rid of unwanted substances.

The poses are used to fully develop the physical strength and health of the body. It is the sequence of practices that make this possible. There are three postures used in Ashtaga Yoga.

The three are grouped on different levels:

- The first is the Primary Series which aims on aligning the body and also detoxifying it.

- The second is the Intermediate Series opening and cleansing the energy channels which comes to the process of purifying the Nervous System.

- The last series would be the Advanced Series from A to D. In this set, the grace and strength are assessed.

The Tristhana is another yoga principle which symbolizes the close union of the three places of action and attention. First is the posture, second is the breathing technique ad last is the Dristhi of the Looking Place. All these three should work altogether to perform a function.

The breathing is always controlled and synchronized with the movements, in such a way that each movement is accompanied by breath. Ujjayi Breathing is the Yoga Breathing Technique used in the implementation of Ashtanga Yoga. Applying this ancient technique is something that you should work on gradually in your daily practise. What you need to master is holding your pose longer at the same time hold your breath. This is an amazing breathing exercise that will intensify your internal fire and will toughen the Nervous System.

Both Ashtanga and Tristhana deal with the series of Dristhi. The Dristhi is defined as the point on which you acquire your focus or concentration while doing the Asana. This allows your mind to be purified and stabilized clearly.

Clearing your mind (that is sometimes compared to an over active monkey) and cleansing it is the ultimate goal in the Eight-Limb Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga.
