Burdock (Arctium lappa) is native to Europe and Asia, and if allowed, can grow in almost any uncultivated space. It was used by India’s traditional Ayurvedics and by the early Chinese for its very valuable health properties. In addition to its healthful effects, the stalks make a delicate vegetable, similar in flavor to asparagus when boiled, and a pleasant salad when eaten raw with vinegar. Burdock is greatly cherished in the Orient, especially in Japan, where it is known as “Gobo”, and the root is used in everyday cooking. The name is a combination of bur, from the tenacious burrs, and dock, Old English referring to its large leaves. And, as its name suggests, it is a plant which bears seeds in big round bristly cones that stick to clothing and animal fur. Many modern-day herbalists continue to use Burdock for its health benefits.

A native of the coastal dunes of Florida and Texas, Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) has been an important food source for the local Indian populations. Native Americans have long consumed the fruit of this tree, harvested honey from its flowers, and the fanlike branches of this palm also made serviceable brooms. The palm-heart or terminal bud of the Saw Palmetto makes an excellent salad or cooked vegetable. In addition, all parts of the plant are known for their health properties, some of which were borrowed by European settlers. A number of recent studies suggest that extracts of the plant may be beneficial in the management of specific health concerns.

Twinlab^® Endurance Fuel^® is a serious multi-stage formula that anticipates the body’s needs for pre, during and post-race nutrition.

Defense Complex: Fusion of antioxidants combined to protect muscles during exercise.*
Endurance Blend: Beta-Alanine supports muscular endurance, power and output; a powerhouse carb blend releases energy faster (waxy maize, glucose), sustains it (maltodrextrin), and acts as an energy reservoir to help you finish strong (isomaltulose); electrolyte blend aids proper hydration and helps you overcome heat stress.*
Recovery Matrix: Time released whey and casein proteins, at a 4:1 carb-to-protein ratio, help prepare muscles for faster recovery even during activity.*

Clinical studies indicate that Beta-Alanine raises the anaerobic threshold in endurance athletes without any weight gain. It also assists power athletes to delay fatigue, combined with a host of clinically tested nutrients to enable longer performance and greater output.*

Rich in complex carbs, we’ve included high performance fat from medium chain triglycerides which increases energy and reduces muscle breakdown.* Add a superior amino acid profile and increased antioxidant levels for enhanced recovery, and you’ve got the right combination to maximize your muscle growth.*

Clinical studies suggest the anti-catabolic synergism of carbohydrate-protein mixtures is more effective for post-exercise Glycogen replenishment than carbohydrates alone. Taken after weight-training exercise, Super Gainers Fuel's muscle cell volumizing formula can provide a cellular hydration state in muscle and a hormonal environment during recovery that, preliminary studies suggest, may be favorable to protein synthesis and muscle growth.*

It would be hard to guess how long cats have known about Catnip (Nepeta cataria) but people have appreciated it for at least 2000 years. The plant was familiar to early Roman cooks and physicians and has long been part of people’s gardens and health repertoires. The plant was introduced to North America from Europe, where it quickly escaped from gardens and spread across the continent, to be used as native Indians and included in their inventory of useful plants. There is a good reason for its common name. The bruised foliage, whose odor has a strong mint-like aroma, stimulates cats and makes them “full of life”. It is often enjoyed as a tea for its soothing, relaxing benefits.

Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is one of the most common edible plants of the mint family. Spearmint is often used in cold drinks and juleps and to impart a delicate aroma to fruit salads, meats, new potatoes, peas, jelly, vinegar and sauces. In addition to the many traditional culinary uses for Spearmint, ingenious cooks have created some unusual delicacies. For example, Native Americans in New England would roast mint leaves then salt and eat them. They would also dry their meats in layers with mint leaves in between. Cosmetically, Spearmint can be used as a soothing bath herb, an ingredient for facial seams, and as an astringent for gently cleaning oily skin. Spearmint possesses properties similar to Peppermint, but is milder and more fragrant and is usually preferred over Peppermint by children.
