Read the small print - which in effect says that the product is not proven to work. :rolleyes:

Whoever called the company "Nutrabollix" clearly never lived in Dublin.

I doubt there would be any misunderstanding if you said you were having a 'bolics shake' after your workout

Thank you. At last someone who can get over the name without sounding like 15 year olds.

As mentioned its a myth, its a misapplication of two different studies.
Using a real world example highlights how silly it is, a steak easily has 90gs of protein. there is no way the body on'y absorbs less than half of this

Can you please elaborate on why this is a myth? I would love to have this cleared up in my head. From what I learned in school excess protein is converted to urea which is literally pissed out and wasted and I have never heard anything more on it since.

So is there actually a limit to how much protein the liver can break down in one go? Is it something that can be built up over time with consistent and steady increases of protein in your diet?

Why ask a question if you don't want an answer?
Knock yourself out OP- you don't want any advice from some very knowledgeable people above.

1. you don't piss out protein. ever.

2. your liver doesn't break it down. far as i know.

I didn't mean pissing out protein directly. I meant that afaik protein gets broken down into amino acids in the liver and the excess amino acids that the liver (or whatever organ it is) can't handle get converted to urea, which is what's pissed out.

Caffeine, semtex... and chuck norris's sperm

Made by a different company, Nutrex. Hemorush looks fairly normal, I'd go with White Flood as from reviews it sounds more potent and it's better value.

I remember hearing something about it containing too much of a water soluble vitamin, yes water soluble, but our government...

Excess protein, means more than the bodys daily need. Obviously this is more than 30g.
I do believe that excessive protein causes an increase in urea, but how much this is I don't know. All/Most/Some of it will be converted to glucose.

The body doesn't process any amount of protein in one go. It's can't even process 30g in one go. Protein digests slowly, whey is about 10g an hour. Basically, you body is almost constantly digesting food and converting protein, it makes sense to me to have a constant supply. Having more than 30g won't be wasted, it will just go to the back of the queue.

The 30g idea came from a study that monitored the rate of protein absorption. 30g whey takes 3 hours. So this lead to the believe that 30g is the max and that you must eat every 3 hours to stay anabolic.

Another study showed that protein aborption rates increase as you eat more, but the effect stops at around 30g. this doesn't mean that 30 is the max, it just means you don't process 40, or 60 any faster. Basically, 30g at breakfast then 30g 3 hours later is the same as 60g at 6 hour intervals.

*Bump*

Its n the shelves in holland and barret, has this been 'legalised' here again?

Kept my trap shut when I bought it

I doubt the staff are aware of what is legal and what is not legal.

I doubt they were going to do you for buying a food supplement OTC but then again it does say EXPLODE... -

Next time why not ask for some C4 at the same time - then they will throw the book at you!:D
