Where does our Tongkat Ali come from?
Our Tongkat Ali comes from deep within the rainforests of Malaysia. The indigenous people of the jungle (natives) have been harvesting Tongkat Ali for decades. They are known as the Orang Aslis residing in the rainforests and relying on the daily harvest of the jungle. They are the natural protectors of Malaysia’s deep jungles. Being the natural caretakers of the world, the Malaysian Government have licensed them to be the only ones to harvest the Tongkat Ali.
CaliGold health ensures the sustainable practises by only working with the company that is involved with the indigenous tribe, who treat the rainforest as their beloved sanctuary since the beginning of time. In a nut shell the Eurycomanone in the Tongkat Ali are affective in increasing Testosterone levels, strength, leaner muscle mass, vitality and sexual desires.
Why have many companies have increased levels of Eurycomanone present in Tongkat Ali.
Many factors affect the Eurycomanone levels in Tongkat Ali such as soil, geography, altitude, moisture and temperature. However, one thing remains constant the Eurycomanone for various parts of the jungle in Malaysia does not exceed 2%. Furthermore, when companies label their products 2% or above, one must be wary and consider the fact that it may be adulterated for eg. Many products may have Viagra / Sildenafil and Tadafil / Cialis which are all prescription drugs that are used to spike Tongkat Ali, thus providing unnatural results in terms of Libido benefits. Therefore CaliGold Health only sources and provides the maximum dosages of Eurycomanone that is available from Malaysia. This will naturally help our customers without fake results. Our Eurycomanone does not exceed 1.8%. Please see the bar graph below for all the areas in Malaysia that the Tongkat Ali is sourced from.
Each part of Tongkat Ali contains different levels of Eurycomanone, but the root is the only part that contains Eurycomanone while other parts of the plant may also contain small traces of it. Other compounds contained in Tongkat Ali are Quassinoids and Alkaloids.
Companies claiming extract ratios
Numerous supplement companies claim extract ratios from 1:20 to 1:300 without any information on this methodology or purity. (For eg. Ethanol vs Water). Basically, Tongkat Ali extracts that don’t taste bitter are either not true or are fake extracts. CaliGold Health does not believe in using ratio analysis as ours is pure and in its original form. Unfortunately, those claiming to have Tongkat Ali extraction ratios 100:1 and even 200:1 are false and only propagated by marketing people, not scientists / phytochemists.

Side effects of Tongkat Ali.
Every person’s body chemistry varies. The common side effects that some may experience are dizziness / headaches after consuming. Whilst others may experience an upset stomach. Luckily, these last for a short while which eventually will go away. The reason for this is quite normal as Tongkat Ali is quite a strong herb and your body will adapt to taking this herb and adjust accordingly. This is why it is always recommended to take a smaller dosage to get your body used to Tongkat Ali and within a week or two, some side effects will disappear. Also, some have reported a stronger odour for their urine and some experienced slight heat flushes. This is normal as well therefore we do recommend you take more water whilst taking Tongkat Ali.
What is the dosage i should take?
For Male, the dosage would be 1-2 capsules every day. The more active the higher the dosage.
For Females, the dosage would be no more than 4 capsules a week, as female hormones work differently in terms of testosterone in the body. If you are very active the results come within weeks. However, if you are not as active it may take up to a month to feel energised.
Can women also benefit from Tongkat Ali?
Everyone believes that women taking testosterone would lead to looking manly such as increase in adam’s apple size, deeper voice, becoming muscular or reversing their hormonal levels. This is all false.
Men and Women have testosterones and Estrogen levels. Men have higher testosterone levels whereas, women have higher Estrogen levels so in terms of women having a low testosterone level leads them to being easily tired; having low energy levels; having weak muscles and low sexual drive. Therefore, women should take 3-4 capsules of Tongkat Ali a week to maintain their certain levels of healthy testosterone in their body which will ultimately keep them active, youthful, strong and maintain a high sex drive. | Build, Repair, and Feed Your Muscles With Real Food!

In 2004 BSN changed the landscape of sports nutrition forever when we introduced the first complete pre-workout supplement, N.O.-XPLODE. BSN pros have been hard at work over the past year to deliver the next evolution of pre-workout supplements.
We talked to supplement users, heard the feedback, and crafted a formula designed to help deliver explosive energy, enhanced endurance and maximum performance through our new Master Performance Blend. In fact, over 75% of consumers who sampled the formula during the development process told us the product delivered the right level of energy, endurance and muscle pumps. We also took our work one step further and enhanced the taste, ensuring the new N.O.-XPLODE delivers on the BSN promise of great taste and superior mixability.
Featuring a more concentrated formula (over 17% reduction in serving size) and advanced ingredient technology, N.O.-XPLODE has been re-engineered to help push you and your workout past previous limits.
Push yourself and your workout as far as you can.
Then, push further.
How Will N.O.-XPLODE enhance my workout?
To achieve the most effective training session, both mental and physical energy are a must. Focus is then needed to harness this energy and drive a strong mind-muscle connection. This mind-muscle connection will help you achieve a greater workout intensity and help push your body past previous limits. At BSN, we know that a pre-workout supplement should support all of these benefits. We designed N.O.-XPLODE, our complete pre-workout igniter, to help deliver increased energy and endurance, support mental focus and muscular strength, and provide second-to-none intensity to help athletes of all levels maximize workout performance.
Advanced Ingredient Technology.
BSN Pros have crafted the ingredients of N.O.-XPLODE to work together and enhance overall workout performance. The innovative ingredient technology of N.O.-XPLODE features: | Cardio sucks. There’s no beauty or grace in it. You’re not moving huge weight. It’s just painful. But you do it because you have to–a necessary evil. Whether you’re preparing for a show or just trying to get in top condition, you need the raw power of Animal Cuts. Make no mistake about it, Animal Cuts is unlike anything out there. It’s an uncompromising “cutting” supplement that has been designed to produce professional results for bodybuilding competitions.
Unlike most conventional “fat burners” out there, Animal Cuts is more than just a thermogenic. It is a comprehensive and complete formula. Take a look at the leading fat burner. If you’re depending on this type of “one dimensional” product, you may be getting less than ideal results. Maybe you drink a lot of coffee in the morning and soda throughout the day. In this case and others, the human body can easily become desensitized to the ingredients in this stack after prolonged use, thus reducing its effectiveness.
For some athletes, the problem may even transcend thermogenesis. Your problem, for instance, might be releasing stored bodyfat. Or maybe you have a sluggish thyroid (thyroid hormones directly control your body’s metabolism). You might be insulin-resistant, a condition which makes it extremely difficult to shed bodyfat. Impaired neurotransmitter function can also make life difficult, encouraging bingeing. Perhaps your problem is not fat at all, but subcutaneous water weight. After all, you can come in with low bodyfat levels, but if you’re holding subcutaneous water, you’re cooked. The point is, athletes need to overcome many obstacles in order to achieve maximum cuts and separations. So if you’ve had little success with conventional “fat burners” in the past, or if results have stopped coming, then don’t be frustrated. It might be that you simply chose the wrong fat burner.
Only Animal Cuts is guaranteed to address all of your weight-loss and definition needs. Animal Cuts is comprehensive - each convenient pack delivers 29 different active ingredients. Every day, for 21 consecutive days, you’ll get over 4,000 milligrams of pure fat shredding power. If you’re competing tomorrow, then you need Animal Cuts today. | EFAs are those necessary fats that we as humans are unable to synthesize in our bodies and must be obtained from either diet or supplementation. Just like essential amino acids (EAAs as found in Animal Nitro), and other essential micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, we need optimum amounts in order for the body to function properly, let alone to make gains in lean mass. Getting the proper EFAs isn't always easy, especially when they are hard to obtain with a typical diet. A typical diet consists of an overabundance of saturated fats, trans fats, and those fats from plant sources (think of common cooking oils) usually overloaded with omega 6 compounds, as they are the easiest and most economical to get your hands on. Omega 6s are important, as they are EFAs too. But it's not just the types of fats. It's also the ratios. More on that later.
EFAs have been clinically proven to exert positive effects in many areas, including-balancing insulin levels, thermogenesis, anabolism, hormone synthesis, fertility, prostaglandin function, immune function, repair of cellular membranes, enabling cells to obtain optimum nutrition and more. For the bodybuilder, EFAs are vital for optimal metabolism, hormone production, cardiovascular health, peak performance, reducing exercise soreness and maximizing fat burning. It's a wonder why they are so overlooked and underutilized by the population.
For supplementation purposes there are only 2 types of fats that are needed; Omega 3's (n-3) and Omega 6's (n-6). Omega 9 is necessary, yet not essential because it can be made by the body in modest amounts. The reason why the body can't make an n-3 or n-6 fatty acid is that human metabolism can't add a double bond to a fatty acid that is more than 9 carbons away from the delta end (acid end). This is also the reason why the body can't convert an n-3 fatty acid to an n-6 fatty acid. Yeah, it sounds like science mumbo jumbo, but is important to see from a chemistry perspective why it's so hard to obtain the right EFAs from the diet.
This is where a supplement like Animal Omega comes into play. Sure, it ain't fancy. No cool bells and whistles here, just the basics. It's not going to "pack on 10 lb in a week" but long-term, it'll get ya to where ya want to be. EFAs are needed, not just any old EFAs, but the right kinds and the right amounts. That's what Animal Omega is all about. Omega is the most complete EFA product on the market. It contains the right fats that bodybuilders require. It's a full spectrum, molecularly distilled EFA supplement, each pack containing a precise and pre-dosed ratio of n-3 to n-6. It is packed with sources of Omega 3 oils extracted from various fish sources such as salmon, cod liver, herring, and plant-sourced omega 3s from flaxseed oil. Such a well-rounded mixture, ensures that you obtain all of the various n-3 extracts that are so important for general health. You get the balance of alpha linoleic acid from flax and the key fish oil extracts, EPA and DHA.
Animal Omega is then rounded out with key Omega 6 oils, including; borage, evening primrose, sesamin, and CLA. Linoleic acid is the other essential fatty acid found in nature. As said before, lack of n-6 in ones diet is hard to come by. However, there is a specific form of n-6, gamma linoneic acid or GLA, that is crucial for health. This is contained in ample doses in Omega. The body uses n-6 essential fatty acids to make various prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These substances influence inflammation and pain; some of them increase symptoms, while others decrease them.
Another n-6 found in Animal Omega is CLA. CLA, is touted for its ability to reduce body fat, being anti-catabolic, acting as an antioxidant and enhancing the immune system. Although exactly how CLA works is completely understood, it's been show by the research community that CLA positively influences the metabolism and assists with fat regulation and protein metabolism. CLA, though is not specifically an EFA, (it's a naturally occurring fatty acid found in meal and dairy) is an important addition to the Animal Omega formula as its health promoting properties were too good to pass up.
Sesamin is another hot ingredient added to the Omega formula. It's a naturally occurring lignan found in sesame oil. Research has shown sesamin can help maximize fat loss, support liver and kidney health and maintain healthy lipid profiles when combined along with other EFAs as found in Animal Omega. Sesamin is touted as a promising ingredient in the process of lean mass recomposition.
All of these potent fatty nutrients are supported by a comprehensive nutrient transport complex which allows for maximum absorption and utilization and transport of Omega's essential fatty acids. L-carnitine, lipase and lecithin make up the complex so you rest assured that the components that make up the n-3 and n-6 complexes are actually getting into your system efficiently and effectively. Another important aspect of this complex is the addition of important antioxidants, Vitamins A, D and E, which ensure EFA stability and prevents 'em from breaking down in the can. A must have for any type of EFA supplement. This translates to ultra potent softgels right from the get-go.
All in all, Animal Omega provides essential nutrition for the bodybuilder. It's loaded with all of the right fats, in a proper ratio of n-3 to n-6 to help support high quality metabolic functioning and body recomposition. It also supports cardio-vascular protection, a healthy immune system and overall health and well being. It won't change your physique overnight, but it will be an important addition to your long term physique goals. |
