Which Amino Acids are the Most Important to Consume?

by Dr. Chad Kerksick on Jun 21, 2010, under Supplement Science

This is a fairly straightforward answer now, thanks to decades of research and likely millions of dollars in research money. Before I dive into it, though, I’m going to provide a little additional background over amino acids and proteins as a whole. Amino acids are for the most part the bricks that when added together [...]

Can I just use Phormula-1 and not Ignition post-workout and get proper recovery?

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Nov 06, 2009, under Customer Q & A

Sure, you can. You can do whatever you want, this is America! You can brush your teeth with motor oil. You can fix a hole in your roof with duct tape. You could even mow your yard with your finger nail clippers. However, these activities wouldn’t make much sense and neither would using Phormula-1 without [...]

I am on a pretty strict budget. Can I just use Ignition to replenish my glycogen stores and get the same results as if I would take it with a Phormula-1?

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Nov 05, 2009, under Customer Q & A

This is a very common question, believe it or not, people always ask which one they should take and the answer is…unequivocally, undeniably, no question about it…BOTH! I always tell people the same thing: It’s like going to buy a brand new car and the salesman asks you if you need tires or a steering [...]

I have been using Level-1 and I love it! Can I use it with Ignition post-workout instead of Phormula-1 and get same results?

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Nov 04, 2009, under Customer Q & A

A premium quality Low Temperature Processed protein blend such as Level-1 is designed to keep you anabolic by keeping blood amino levels high for sustained periods of time throughout the day. This means Level-1 will take several hours to digest completely. The insulin spike form Ignition happens almost instantly and peaks after just 30 minutes. [...]

I’m trying to lose weight. If I use Ignition, is it going to make me fatter?

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Nov 03, 2009, under Customer Q & A

Ignition will not and cannot make you fat if used correctly. In fact, if used correctly post-weight training (Ignition should not be used post-cardio for someone trying to lose body fat) it will actually cause you to burn fat faster. Contrary to what you might have read about carbs being the devil, it’s just not [...]

I was told by a guy at the gym that I can use white bread post workout because it’s cheaper and get the same result as I would with Ignition/Phormula-1.

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Nov 01, 2009, under Customer Q & A

Let me take a wild guess and try to describe the character who is giving you this information; It’s the over the hill guy at your gym who “used” to compete on the “semi-pro” circuit back when bodybuilding was “pure”. He probably wears a stringer tank and parachute pants, with a fanny pack. He dead [...]

I just picked up the new Phormula-1 today and one thing that shocked me is that the flavor is very light, crisp and refreshing. I love it! I was expecting a strong flavor like some of the other fruity proteins on the market. It’s like I can’t even taste the protein. It’s very different than anything I have ever tried. Great job on this one!!!

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Oct 30, 2009, under Customer Q & A, Products

Thank you very much! I’m glad you like it!
The flavoring on Phormula-1 is much lighter than other isolates on the market; we designed it that way on purpose. Phormula-1 is very pure and doesn’t require an overpowering flavor to cover up impurities of lesser quality, denatured proteins. It’s designed to taste more like a Crystal [...]

Waxy Maize: Putting This Year’s Marketing Monster to Bed Once and For All

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Oct 23, 2009, under Supplement Myths

Unless you’ve been under a rock the last year you’ve probably been hearing a lot of buzz regarding a substance called Waxy Maize Starch. You might be wondering why so many companies are advertising it as the end all be all to post/pre workout. Its everywhere you look; magazines, chart forums, supplement sites. There is [...]

My personal trainer told me I can just use table sugar instead of Ignition and it’ll work the same, is this true?

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Sep 04, 2009, under Customer Q & A

You lift hard, eat right, drink enough water, take the best supplements and get all the rest you need. You do everything you can to get the BEST possible results day in and day out. You sacrifice things “normal” people wouldn’t think of giving up in the quest for a superior existence. You live the [...]

The product description of LEVEL-1 Protein makes it sound like it is not the fast assimilated protein that you would want right after a workout…is this true? If so, do you sell another protein that is assimilated faster?

by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Aug 25, 2009, under Customer Q & A

The answer to both of these questions is yes. Level-1 is indeed a sustained assimilation protein designed to keep blood amino levels high for a period of 2-3 hours. Although you will not find a higher quality sustained assimilation protein on the market, it was not developed with post workout nutrition in mind. Level-1 was [...]
