ISatori H-Blocker

Your Frequently Asked Questions about ISatori H-Blocker

Q: Can I take H+Blocker with a creatine prYes. In fact, supplements such as creatine, consumed post-workout, may actually increase the overall effectiveness of H+Blocker. If you are going to use a creatine supplement, I recommend 3-XL™. Also developed by iSatori, 3-XL is, by far, the most advanced creatine formula on the market. 3-XL is a powdered drink mix, engineered to improve the absorption and retention of creatine using a novel form of creatine hydrochloride. What's great about creatine ester is that it requires a lower dosage than monohydrate, and there's no "cycling" or "loading" required... and best of all, it doesn't cause the famous creatine "water bloat" either. You can use H+Blocker before your workouts and 3-XL immediately following your workouts, and you'll find they work marvelously well together. To date, we've heard of nothing less than spectacular results from people who have used these two research-based supplements together. oduct?   Read...

Q: I weigh more than 200 pounds. Do I need to adjust the dosage for my size?   Read...
A: Yes. If you're over 200 pounds in bodyweight, or want to magnify your workout intensity, we'd suggest you consume two scoops before exercise, which would allow you to get 6.4 grams in total of the active components in H+Blocker. Remember, though, as with all supplements, more is not necessarily always better. H+Blocker is engineered to work optimally with a single usage each day. Taking any more than two scoops a day is unlikely to produce better results.

Q: What is that tingling sensation I experience after taking H+Blocker?   Read...
A: Approximately half of H+Blocker users notice a tingling sensation. It's technically called parathesia. It usually starts during the workout following H+Blocker supplementation and goes away after a few minutes. Most people feel it in the upper extremities—especially the face, chest, shoulders, and upper arms and hands. This harmless side effect of H+Blocker is due in part to beta-alanine's actions as a neurotransmitter. In non-scientific terms, beta-alanine basically "tickles" your brain cells, producing that tingling sensation in the most extreme nerve endings throughout the body. Those who do experience parathesia at first generally report that it diminishes or disappears altogether after two or three weeks of consistent supplementation. It's important to understand that parathesia is totally independent of H+Blocker's effects on muscle carnosine. The tingling sensation that some H+Blocker users experience is not a sign that the product is working. Likewise, the absence of parathesia in other H+Blocker users is not a sign that the product is not working. Nor is the disappearance of parathesia after several weeks of supplementation a sign that H+Blocker has stopped working.

Q: Are there any known side effects?   Read...
A: There are no known negative health effects associated with carnosine-boosting supplementation. In fact, in studies, using beta-alanine supplementation of up to five grams per day has revealed no negative effects on a variety of health markers. Short-term supplementation lasting one month showed no impact on liver, kidney, or heart function or on blood chemistry. As with most supplements, more research is needed to determine the effects of long-term supplementation, but based on the known effects of these amino acids in the body, and considering they are naturally found in certain foods, like turkey, there is no reason to anticipate that any problems would ever be discovered.

Q: Do I need to "load" or "cycle" H+Blocker?   Read...
A: If you have taken a creatine supplement, chances are the product label has instructed you to start with a higher dosage (usually 20 grams per day) for several days and then ease back to a lower dosage (usually five grams per day) for continued supplementation. Taking a higher initial dosage of a supplement such as creatine is called "loading." Research has shown that the fastest and most efficient way to increase muscle creatine stores is to divide supplementation into separate loading and long-term supplementation phases. However, when it comes to carnosine-boosting supplementation, loading is not necessary. The same dosage of H+Blocker recommended for initial loading, a single serving taken daily, is also recommended for long-term supplementation. Most creatine users are also familiar with the practice of "cycling." This refers to the strategy of taking the supplement daily for many weeks and then discontinuing supplementation for a shorter period before resuming daily supplementation. Research has shown that cycling prevents creatine users from developing a high tolerance for creatine supplementation that makes it less effective in the long term. We need to do more research before we know whether cycling is necessary with carnosine-boosting supplementation, and if so, what sort of schedule works best. Until these questions are answered, cycling should be considered optional with H+Blocker. You can either wait until you reach a strength or performance plateau and then cease H+Blocker supplementation for two or four weeks, or follow a traditional eight- to 12-week "on" period followed by a two- to four-week "off" period. However, taking H+Blocker for any extended period of time, well beyond eight weeks, should continue to produce results that are consistent and keep you satisfied and wanting to continue taking it. As long as you keep getting greater and greater benefits from H+Blocker, you may want to keep supplementing with it.
