My Shopping Experience at Netrition


The above image are all the samples I got for free, in a pack, worth $10! Was I surprised when I got it, along with my ordered items from Netrition. Love their service and honesty.

Here are the listed samples received and their description:

1. Mutant Whey, Triple Chocolate Eruption

  • 5 whey blend triggering greater muscle protein synthesis
  • Fortified with extra glutamine
  • No aspartame - sweetened with sucralose
  • Addictive taste - perfect for everyday use
  • Half the cholesterol of other whey brands
  • Lactose reduced
  • Smooth mixability

Mutant Whey is a unique 5-Stage Whey Protein that triggers noticeable muscle growth and increases nitrogen retention. Yes, whey protein helps you grow - but Mutant Whey helps you grow bigger and faster.
This 5-Stage Whey Protein allows each source its own unique delivery to the limited number of protein receptor sites in your digestive system. What does this mean? It simply means no wasted protein - 100% whey uptake. Each of the 5 whey protein sources are 100% complete and rich in BCAAs and Glutamine to help speed recovery.

  • Ultra-pure whey isolate-primary source
  • Enhanced with creatine and aminos
  • Superior to other whey protein formulas

Nitro-Tech Performance Series contains protein sourced primarily from whey protein isolate - one of the cleanest and purest protein sources available to athletes. It is also enhanced with the most studied form of creatine for faster gains in muscle and strength.*

Nitro-Tech contains 30 grams of protein, primarily from whey protein isolate, ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate and hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, with only 2 grams of carbs and 1.5 grams of fat.

Nitro-Tech contains a research-proven dose 3g of creatine monohydrate which combined with whey protein will help to build more strength than regular whey protein. In one study, subjects using the whey/creatine combination in Nitro-Tech increased their one-rep max bench press by 34 pounds, compared to only 14 pounds for subjects using regular whey protein.*

Nitro-Tech is the first protein to contain all three key free-form amino acids: alanine, glycine, and taurine. Alanine is the primary amino acid for the production of usable glucose during intense training. Supplementing with alanine post-workout can help combat muscle breakdown and promote protein synthesis. Glycine is an amino acid which has been noted to play a role in the formation of many other biological compounds in the body, such as proteins and creatine, and even supports cell volumization. Taurine is the second-most abundant amino acid found in muscle and aids in cell volumization.

  • Provides high biological value and sustained release protein
  • 8 Hours of amino acid delivery
  • Helps prevent muscle breakdown

MuscleTech Phase 8 is designed to do one thing - feed your muscles the highest quality blend of protein available. Each serving of Phase 8 delivers a 26 gram blend of proteins taken from multiple sources with variable digestion rates. The multiple release rates of amino acids feeds your muscles for 8 hours - that's prolonged delivery of key muscle building blocks, making Phase 8 the perfect protein for any time of the day or night.*

Phase 8 contains a unique blend of proteins that allows you to take it whenever you need it. The multi-phase protein delivery supplies the needed quick release of amino acids for post-workout amino acid delivery, the medium release protein phase for between meals and the slow digesting protein phase for night time use making Phase 8 the perfect choice for any situation.


The First 4-In-1 Testosterone-Boosting Powder for Bodybuilders.

Anotest is the first and only powdered testosterone booster designed to give you the effects of four different products in one formula. In fact, if you were to take this formula as a pill, you would have to take over 15 pills just to match the power of this hardcore anabolic powder. Anotest is truly the most complete testosterone-boosting formula available.

Product highlights:

  • Increases Overall Testosterone - Unlike the majority of other products that underdose D-aspartic acid, Anotest contains the exact 3.12 gram dose per max serving shown to increase testosterone by over 40% while staying within the normal healthy range.
  • Increases Free (Active) Testosterone - The only testosterone powder that delivers a scientifically studied dose of boron, shown to increase free testosterone and decrease estradiol levels.
  • Amplifies Androgen Receptor Concentration - A precise 2000mg dose of L-carnitine is shown to increase the concentration of androgen receptors, which bind to free testosterone. Researchers in this study theorized that it improved the uptake of testosterone into the muscle cell. The same 2000mg of L-carnitine is shown to be effective in improving recovery after training in three separate human studies through the reduction of muscle tissue damage.
  • Reduces Serum Cortisol - Delivers a specific 5300mg combination dose of glutamine and BCAAs, shown to decrease serum cortisol (a catabolic hormone that inhibits lean muscle gains).
  • No PCT Required - This powerful formula works with the body to naturally increase testosterone levels while staying within the normal healthy range.
5. Optimum Nutrition Platinum Pre- (Great! No crash and good energy)

    Rice Vinegar


    What Are the Health Benefits of Rice Vinegar?
    Rice vinegar and its extracts, also called kurozu and kurozu morimatsu, provide numerous nutrition and dietary benefits. Recent research into the effectiveness of this vinegar as a health supplement has revealed potential uses in blood sugar control, liver health, and colon health. Additionally, some weight loss benefits are believed to result from the use of this condiment. Procuring true rice vinegar can be slightly complicated, however. Make sure that the rice vinegar you purchase does not contain additives such as corn syrup, sugar, artificial colors, or preservatives. Raw versions of the vinegar are more likely to provide the health benefits described in this article.

    How does rice vinegar help weight loss?
    If your primary goal is weight loss, rice vinegar may be able to help. This vinegar has been associated with moderate weight loss. It has been used for this purpose in Japan since the 1940s, and is still popular today. Kurozu is the specific vinegar that is most commonly utilized. It is manufactured from brown rice, and is also known as black vinegar. Other benefits associated with this particular vinegar include the prevention of hypertension, improved complexion, and higher levels of energy.

    How does rice vinegar help colon health?
    In a 2011 study on animal health, researchers discovered that small doses of rice vinegar were capable of reducing the risk of colitis. Consumption of the vinegar also resulted in the reduction of nitrate compounds in the colon. These compounds are toxic to the colon. In colitis patients, imbibing rice vinegar is associated with reduced intestinal bleeding, and reduced unhealthy weight loss from the condition. Rice vinegar may be able to prevent some types of colitis, as well.

    How does rice vinegar help liver health?
    The cancer and age fighting effects of vinegar in general is gathering attention. Rice vinegar is one of the most promising vinegars in cancer research, particularly in regards to liver cancer. The consumption of rice vinegar in animals exposed to liver carcinogens resulted in significantly smaller tumors than those found in control groups. Rice vinegar also reduced the levels of enzymes which have been linked to aging and degrading processes in the same study. The animal control study lasted 16 weeks, and results appear promising that rice vinegar is an effective way to naturally help combat liver cancer.

    How does rice vinegar help control blood sugar?
    White rice vinegar has health benefits unique unto itself. The compound is capable of assisting in the regulation of blood sugar in the body. Additionally, it can prevent diabetes-induced weight loss. Subjects on a diet of 2 milliliters per kilogram of body weight, consumed daily, demonstrated a reduction in the number and size of degenerative fat deposits. Additionally, the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas demonstrated improved performance on this diet.

    Rice vinegar comes in many different forms. Each provides nutrition and health benefits for individuals consuming the substance. Research into the mechanisms behind rice vinegar's nutrition and effectiveness is ongoing, but promising. It doesn't hurt that the mild flavor is easily combined with many dishes and a key part of many Asian cuisines.

    Article from: Weightloss Answers

    Personally, I consume Bragg Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with honey, as my morning pep up drink. As for rice vinegar, I personally use it in my Kokuho Rose - Sushi Rice Japanese Style 5lb to make sushi with my Sushi Chef Sushi Making Kit

    SUB-Q 120 caps


    The Science Behind SUB•Q
    SUB•Q® is designed to retain your hard-earned muscle while incinerating body fat, including subcutaneous fat – making your skin paper-thin. To do this, SUB•Q stimulates cellular energy production1 and norepinephrine release,2 and this increases your metabolic rate and the number of calories that you burn from fat. By increasing your metabolic rate, you incinerate existing body and subcutaneous fat, and continuing to take SUB•Q helps you keep it off for good. By maintaining a positive nitrogen balance, promoting muscle sparing3 and promoting muscle growth,4,5 SUB•Q keeps your metabolism high, accelerates your recovery time and allows you to exercise with increased frequency. This all amounts to more calorie burning and the incineration of fat. Also, to really thin your skin, SUB•Q contains strong diuretic properties that eliminates excess water from underneath your skin.6 This is a bodybuilding must and will really make your muscles “pop.”

    Bullet Caplet Technology®
    To ensure your results are explosive, SUB•Q’s powerful formula is transported with Bullet Caplet Technology.

    Bullet Caplet Technology is a proprietary innovation exclusive to FUSION BODYBUILDING®. What makes this technology unique is its micro-channels. During the disintegration process, these micro-channels are created in the Bullet Caplet structure, and the ingredients in SUB•Q are released from the inside of the caplet to the outside, dissolving it from the center. This allows immediate and accurate dosing, making sure the ingredients work together as designed.

    Dosing Instructions:

    Ingredients
    Beyond Ripped® Complex – 924 mg
    BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids)
    BCAAs help you Get Beyond Ripped by stimulating cellular energy production1 and norepinephrine release,2 and this increases your metabolic rate and the number of calories that you burn from fat. By increasing your metabolic rate, you not only incinerate existing subcutaneous fat but you keep it off for good.

    By maintaining a positive nitrogen balance, promoting muscle sparing3 and promoting muscle growth,4,5 BCAAs keep your metabolism high, accelerate your recovery time and allow you to exercise with increased frequency. This all amounts to more calorie burning and the rapid incineration of subcutaneous fat.

    Leucine, isoleucine and valine also help in another way: they suppress your appetite and control food cravings,6 so you’ll be less likely to give into temptation and sabotage all of your hard work.

    Razberi-K® (Raspberry Ketone)
    Razberi-K (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one) works because it alters fat metabolism in several ways.

    First, Razberi-K prevents body fat gain by preventing fat absorption, and then eliminates fat by increasing levels of norepinephrine, a fat-burning hormone. Because of this dual action, Razberi-K burns fat and keeps it off!7

    Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion Leaf)
    Taraxacum officinale is a strong diuretic and rapidly eliminates excess water from underneath your skin.8

    This diuretic effect makes you visibly harder and drier within hours of your first dose.

    Fat-Incinerator Complex – 627 mg
    Camellia sinensis (Green Tea)
    Camellia sinensis directly triggers fat loss9 by causing the release of fatty acids from body fat stores and increasing body heat generation (thermogenesis) and the burning of released fats for conversion into usable energy. This further elevates your caloric burn rate. Camellia sinensis also has diuretic properties – it causes you to lose excess water that can make you look fat and bloated. By exerting a diuretic effect, it helps reveal your true vascularity.

    Caffeine anhydrous
    Caffeine is a tried, tested and true ingredient. It helps to burn fat because it stimulates the release of fat from fat stores. At the same time, caffeine also stimulates the release of fat burning chemicals. Caffeine dramatically increases your energy levels within minutes, enhances your focus and motivation and exercise performance all the while burning fat and ridding your body of excess water that can get trapped under your skin outside of your muscle cells.

    Forslean® Coleus forskolii (Makandi)
    Forslean is an extremely effective fat-burning agent. Forslean burns fat fast because it raises levels of cAMP. cAMP stands for cyclic adenosine monophosphate, and cAMP accelerates fat burning by increasing your cells' responsiveness to fat-burning hormones like adrenaline. In other words, Forslean enables fat-burning hormones like adrenaline to get through cellular membranes more easily where they can exert their fat-burning effects. Therefore, the more responsive your cells are to fat hormones, the more fat you’ll burn consistently. Forslean also increases lean muscle mass10 by stimulating the adenylate cyclase (AC) enzyme, and this shifts you into a state of anabolism (muscle growth) and fat burning.

    N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine
    N-acetyl L-tyrosine is an amino acid that’s a precursor to important neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) like dopamine and norepinephrine and to the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). By increasing your dopamine and norepinephrine levels, you’ll have more energy, work with greater intensity, use more oxygen to burn fat, and burn more calories from fat stores.

    Salvia sclarea (Clary Sage)
    Salvia sclarea works to burn fat by increasing your caloric burn and also accelerating cAMP. To accelerate cAMP, Salvia sclarea stimulates sympathetic nerves, increasing adenylate cyclase enzyme activity, resulting in the liberation of fatty acids from fat stores.11 This triggers increased thyroid activity and an increase in caloric burn rate. Salvia sclarea also improves the absorption of nutrients into muscle tissue, potentially resulting in increases in lean muscle mass12 and a further elevation of metabolism, triggering rapid fat loss.

    Absorption Initiator – 3 mg
    Bioperine® Piper nigrum (Black Pepper)
    Bioperine is extracted from black pepper and enhances your natural thermogenic activity by enhancing the delivery of nutrients into your bloodstream and enhances the efficiency of nutrient uptake by your body.

    Other Ingredients
    Microcrystalline cellulose, gylcerine, modified cellulose gum, carrageenan, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, colour

    Lipotrophin-PM Night-Time Thermogenic, 120 Capsules, From Applied Nutriceuticals


    The World's Most Effective Night-Time Thermogenic.

    Burns Fat While You Sleep.
    Lipotrophin PM is the second half of our fat-fighting one-two punch. Applied Nutriceuticals research team developed Lipotrophin PM specifically for nighttime use, enabling you to remain in a fat-burning metabolic state even while you sleep! The stimulant-free combination of the ingredients in Lipotrophin PM are specially designed to increase production of your body's natural fat-burning hormones, while also promoting deeper, more restful sleep. Works best when used in conjunction with Lipotrophin AM.

    Stimulant free - promotes a restful sleep.
    Halts muscle catabolism that occurs when dieting.
    Promotes natural appetite suppression by increasing your body's own CCK levels.
    More About Lipotrophin-PM

    The Applied Nutriceuticals research team is proud to introduce Lipotrophin-PM, THE most effective non-stimulant thermogenic available that actually outperforms most of the stimulant-based fat-burners on the market today!

    This highly effective formulation was developed through our exhaustive research into nearly one-hundred different ingredients currently used in various weight-loss products on the market, along with an in-depth analysis of the potential benefits of several newly discovered compounds. Lipotrophin-PM is the result of that research.

    The absence of stimulants makes this product ideal for nighttime use. Conversely, since it also has no sedative effects, users who prefer not to use stimulant-based products during the day can use Lipotrophin-PM in the morning and mid-day with outstanding results. This is due in part to the effects of the L-Dopa, which is converted in the body to the hormone dopamine. Dopamine stimulates the pituitary's secretion of growth hormone; amplifying the action of fat-burning hormones, stabilizing blood sugar and triggering muscle hypertrophy; all while promoting a deeper, more restful sleep.

    Lipotrophin-PM also contains corosolic acid, of which the positive effects on blood sugar are only recently being understood. Clinical research has proven that corosolic acid increases glucose transport into insulin-sensitive muscle tissue, while decreasing glucose transport into fat (adipose) cells. The result is increased serum insulin sensitivity which helps stabilize and lower blood sugar levels. Individuals with type-2 diabetes can benefit greatly from this compound due to its effects on blood sugar and fat metabolization.

    Lipotrophin-PM attacks fat cells from yet another angle; by stimulating thyroid production of T4 and its subsequent conversion to T3 - two powerful hormones that play a direct role in increasing your metabolic rate. It also suppresses the production of the stress hormone cortisol, which promotes the deposit of fat in the midsection while having catabolic effects on lean muscle. On top of it all, by maintaining consistent blood sugar levels (especially in the evening) Lipotrophin-PM helps prevent those dreaded night-time hunger cravings that can ruin an entire day of otherwise healthy dieting.

    Another benefit of Lipotrophin-PM is that it is an extremely effective appetite suppressant. It curbs hunger and cravings through increased CCK, a hormone that works with the central nervous system to signal satiety. It also allows less fat to be digested by slowing the release of pancreatic lipase, which is an enzyme that digests dietary fat that would otherwise be stored as adipose tissue (body fat). On the contrary, Lipotrophin-PM increases the use of fat for fuel over carbohydrates, so you burn more fat and store less, while feeling less hungry.

    In addition to all of its incredible fat-melting properties, Lipotrophin-PM is also a powerful anti-catabolic; helping you maintain and grow lean muscle that is often sacrificed when dieting. Regular use of Lipotrophin-PM will shift your body's energy source from using glycogen and protein to using fat for fuel instead. This helps preserve skeletal muscle, which would otherwise be relied upon more heavily for fuel without Lipotrophin-PM.

    In conclusion, Lipotrophin-PM is the one of the most researched fat-burners available, and whether you use it by itself or stack it with our stimulant-based Lipotrophin-AM, you'll see and feel dramatic results faster than you ever thought possible, without paying the premiums demanded by the over-hyped and watered-down national brands. The result will be a leaner, stronger, healthier you.

    Corn Silk Tea

    By: Robert & Jean Pollock

    Corn Silk Tea: A Number of Health Benefits
    Health and well being is a primary concern for many of us. While there might not be a substitute for the miracles of modern science, natural remedies can offer ways to help alleviate minor health issues and promote our well being without the side effects or high costs of prescription or over the counter medication. Nature is filled with many plants that can help us achieve proper health and one of these is corn. Corn has fed countless people for eons, and can be found in Europe, South America, and its native North America. However, while the corn itself has been eaten by people and the stalks used as feed for livestock, the silks that grow from an ear of corn can be used to create corn silk tea, a drink filled with a vast array of great health benefits.

    Urinary Tract Health

    Season Change


    Guess you can call me a supplement freak...lol. Been taking health food supplements for over 20 years! Does it affect me? Of course it does, in a good way. Some said it is not real or true, it is just money making industry. Oh well, it all depends of how much you know about the producing and manufacturing process, of it. Meaning, knowing the quality, not forgetting a reliable and trusted brand name.

    Now, season change, trend change, almost everything change. Packaging change, name change and technology change. Food supplements? Oh yeah, it has change much but my very own rule is never miss out on your basics. Always get back to your basics nutrients, your body will thank you for it. Why?

    You see, as we move with the changes, there may be a point where you felt, nothing seems to work with all these new or advanced food supplements, as in how chemically they have been changed, to make it more absorbent or potent. Getting back to basic, is just telling your body to take a break, to heal and restore, before you start re-introducing more and more health food supplements.

    How to go about it? Every 3 months or so, make an effort to eat clean (no seasoning or simply cut down on sugar and salt). Also, start by helping your body to detox. Using herbal supplement to balance up your body chemistry.

    Make a search online for body detox. You will get lots of information on it. For example, milk thistle to detox your liver. Blood cleanser and so on.

    Before you start any detox program, make sure you are fit and able to do so with no health complication to start off with.

    Oh! What has Pilates got to do with this post? Nothing...lol. Posted it just because I like it and I do teach Pilates, Yoga and Resistance Training. Cheers! Much health to ya!

    Weight Loss Factors

    Alli Weight-Loss Aid, Orlistat 60mg Capsules Refill Pack


    Have personally met too many women who have weight loss issue, people who have train smart and eat well. Have noticed, those with higher success rate in achieving weight loss (preferably fat loss) are those who have added pharmaceutical grade supplements into their weight loss goals/lifestyle.

    Once desired inch loss / fat loss has been achieved, all it takes is conscious healthy living lifestyle. Work with your body and for your body to gain health. Understand how your body react and response, not only by the external influence environmentally but also internally, which is by the intake of food and/or dietary supplements.


    What is Orlistat?
    Orlistat is a treatment medication used to help obese people lose excess weight. If taken on a daily basis, it can block up to 30% of your daily intake of fat. Orlistat should be used in combination with a balanced diet and regular exercise, so that you can see the full benefits of the treatment.

    How Does Orlistat Work?
    Orlistat works by inhibiting enzymes that digest fats in your diet and store them as excess weight on your body. This means that nearly a third of the fat that you consume won’t be stored in your body, and will instead pass straight through your system, in the form of faeces.

    Orlistat 120mg tablets here, should be taken three times daily after mealtimes. If you skip a meal or your food doesn’t contain any fat, then you won’t need to take a tablet.

    In order to see the full effectiveness of Orlistat, you must combine your dosage with a balanced low-calorie diet and daily exercise. Orlistat prevents the absorption of only one-third of all ingested fat, so if your diet continues to be calorific, the effects of Orlistat will be reduced.

    However, if you use Orlistat in the right way, the effects can be significant. You could lose up to 10% of your body weight in the first 6 months of treatment.

    Who is it suitable for?
    Orlistat is designed to treat people with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above, but can be used if this BMI is 28 or above and you have other health conditions including diabetes and hypertension.

    If you want to calculate your BMI, simply divide your weight (in kilograms) by your height (in metres). If your BMI is worked out to be between 25 and 29.9, you are considered to be overweight. Anything over 30 and you will be considered to be obese. Orlistat will only be prescribed to patients over the age of 18.

    Who is it unsuitable for?
    Orlistat is considered unsuitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and may not be prescribed to people with malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis. Always tell us about any pre-existing health conditions so our doctors can make sure that Orlistat is safe for you to use.


    For Consultation Process Online. Select your treatment to register. Complete a short questionnaire about your medical history, which will be assessed by our registered doctors to make sure Orlistat is safe and suitable for you. After this, you will be issued a prescription that will be sent to our licensed pharmacy, where your Orlistat will be prepared for next day delivery.

    Magic Matcha Green Tea

    Oh..how I love the taste of Green Tea Latte! My girlfriend Jen, once made green tea latte while I visited her home. Gee... at first I though it was one of those premixed instant drinks available in packets from Korea but was surprise when Jen told me, she concoct it! Below is the green tea powder that Jen personally used and she mentioned that it is by far one of the best green tea powder she has come across.

    Jen also mentioned, to use the unsweetened version of the green tea since the recipe for green tea latte will be adding in the sweetener honey! More nutrition from the bees... honey!

    Definitely, left a deep impression for my mind and taste buds! Thumbs Up for Green Tea Latte!


    Matcha Green Tea; The most pure, most delicate, most cared for Green Tea on the planet. The measures taken to make sure of the purity are unbelievable. Grown in specially shaded fields in Japan, the tea is then covered with special tarps 4 weeks prior to harvest. Doing this limits the sunlight that reaches the leaves, making them produce more chlorophyll, which gives the leaf the amazing green color that it has. After harvest, the whole tea leaf is then ground by granite stone meals, producing an extremely fine powder. Grinding the whole leaf results in a full-bodied, high antioxidant, high phytonutrient green tea drink. Maintaining the whole leaf ensures that Magic Matcha drinkers consume a higher concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fibers than other green teas.*  Matcha Green Tea contains more EGCG than green tea and is nutrient-rich. Benefits: boosts metabolism and energy, burns calories, supports immune system. Matcha Green Tea powder can be added to hot or cold water, or try adding to your favorite smoothie.
