QUESTION: I’m looking for a product that will promote muscle gain and fat loss in order to get ripped. What product do you recommend to achieve this?
ANSWER: There are a couple of options: (1) You could stack MPOWER and ENCHARGE together. This has become a popular stack for athletes looking to do exactly what you are asking. Each product comes in a one month supply. The Energy & Thermogenesis from MPOWER will trigger fat burning plus support intense training sessions leading to Enhanced Muscle Growth from Unique ENCHARGE formula very nicely. Or (2) Take HELIX-24 by itself. HELIX-24 Stimulates your Natural GH and IGF-1 production and Stimulating Growth Hormone is the best way to build Muscle and Burn Fat at the same time.

QUESTION:
Hi Dr. Burke,
I recently bought Promasil protein powder. I am not an athlete, i walk a few times a week. Will this product make me gain weight? I am new to protein shakes so I don’t know much about them. I wanted to add protein to my diet because i don’t think i had enough of it. Therefore I bought it mostly as a supplement. However friends are telling me I will blow up, gain weight etc.. Is this true? and if so what would you reccoment me switching to?
ANSWER:
Hi and thank you for the message. PROMASIL is an excellent choice for reaching your objective. You do not need to be an athlete to enjoy the benefits of including a clean and safe protein powder in your diet. Including PROMASIL in your diet will help suppress your appetite, increase fat burning, and help support your muscle mass-all things that will help you quickly change your body composition to a more lean body. Adding supplemental protein to your diet will not make you “blow-up” as your friends have indicated but rather will help you lose weight especially when combined with regular exercise.

QUESTION:
I do have a question. I am 43 years old and have had Type I diabetes since I was 9 months old. I take extremely good care of myself and reap the results of no complications and amazing kidney function. I do weightlift and run. I have been looking up the ingredients in the Rapid FX to see if there is anything in the ingredients as to why I should not take it. I don’t see any. What are your thoughts?
ANSWER:
Hi there and thank you for the message. I would suggest you talk to your family doctor first prior to taking any supplement. If he or she is Ok with you trying RAPID-FX then this is my advice: Knowing that you have effectively controlled your diabetes for your entire life I would say that it would be OK for you to try RAPID-FX. However, I would suggest you keep a very close eye on your blood sugar. I’m sure you have already noticed the effect of changes in your exercise and diet on your diabetes. RAPID-FX does not have anything hazardous to your health in it; however, it will increase your metabolic rate and in turn this will change your use of sugar (fuel) in your body.

QUESTION:
I am 16 years of age and i play many sports, constenley active, and i work out at least 6 times a week and 2 days throughout the week i do a one hour stretch. I was woundering what would you reccomend i try to improve muscle strength,repair and growth?
ANSWER:
Hi and thanks for the message. Based on your busy training schedule I recommend you take PROMASIL for sure. You should be taking 2-4 scoops per day to increase your lean muscle and speed up the repair of muscle between training sessions. Be sure to take one scoop before training and another scoop immediately after training for best results.
As well, you could try ENCHARGE if you are looking to add size and functional strength. ENCHARGE is a unique blend of 5 sources of creatine combined with Branched Chain Amino Acids and Glutamine. These are the best amino acids to take and when combined with creatine as in ENCHARGE they increase the amount of creatine in muscle and also these amino acids in the muscle. Using ENCHARGE will result in fast gains in strength and functional muscle mass.

QUESTION:
How many milligrams of caffeine are in one serving of Rapid-FX?
ANSWER:
Hi there and thank you for the message. There are multiple sources of natural caffeine in RAPID-FX. The combined amount in one capsule is approximately 100 mg, which is equivalent to one small cup of fresh brewed coffee. It is important to point out that RAPID-FX also contains Amanatsu, which enhances mitochondrial function and burns more calories. As well, the powerful RADICAL ANTIOXIDANT COMPLEX will help prevent free radical damage to cells and metabolic activity. This will improve the function of all cellular energy processes in your body and improve your metabolic rate.
RAPID-FX is one of our Best Sellers! Train hard and keep me posted on your results.

QUESTION:
I notice you have a new product Co3PLXS on the market, is it similiar to your Promasil and can it be stacked with any of the current products. I am currently using the Promasil and Rapid FX, I recently had a flare of of an old high school knee wound so I am back to walking instead of running 5-6 days per week. I would like to continue to loose some weight. Thank you for your response.
ANSWER:
Thank you for the message. COMPLX5 is our latest innovative product and our first PREWORKOUT powder. It is very different than PROMASIL as it does not contain any protein and it is designed to increase activation of muscle fibers, delay the onset of fatigue, and enhance training & competition performance. It can be combined with any, or all of our products. Our complete line-up is safe to combine as there are no additive stimulates in any formula except for MPOWER and RAPID-FX.
