Muscle Milk Price Increase Coming Soon
Muscle Milk is a delicious smooth tasting protein that contains MCT’s which is your medium chain triglycerides—a fat that is readily burned off as energy rather than being stored as fat. The beauty of these “clean fats” in Muscle Milk make it a creamy and filling protein drink that Cytosport claims: Tastes Just Like A Milkshake.
Users of Muscle Milk agree with Cytosport’s proud claim, and you can never grow tired of it due to their extensive selection of flavors. They even come out with holiday flavors such as Muscle Milk Egg Nog and recently added their new mouth watering flavor: Muscle Milk Cake Batter. The mere sound of that brings back childhood memories of licking the spoon and bowl after mom whips up the batter and the delicious aroma pouring out of the hot oven.
But, this article isn’t meant to tell you how good Muscle Milk is, this article is to inform you of the price increase that’s coming down the pike. We have the lowest price on Muscle Milk and offer free shipping which really makes this product a hot seller at NutraPlanet, but with the recent price hikes in protein, Muscle Milk is going up in price :(
We all knew this was bound to happen and the time has finally come. We’ve stocked up on supplies to keep the price as low as possible for as long as we could, but since we sell pallets of this decadent dessert, the formidable price hike draws nearer each day. If you love this product or dying to try it, get your Muscle Milk today at the lowest possible price at NutraPlanet!

Goodbye 1-AD, Hello Ergopharm 11-OXO

Deliciously Convenient Protein Puffs
If you’re like me, your tired of mixing protein powders and munching on protein bars. Sometimes your taste bud just gets tired of eating protein that’s sweet or chocolaty. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy those “healthy” decadent desserty flavors, but on occasion my picky palate just craves that salty snacky food that trumps my sweet tooth craving…sound familiar?
Well, recently I stumbled across the new Protein Puffs by Chef Jays. My buddy swore it was the best tasting salty protein snack that was high in protein, low in fat, and low in calories, but what really sparked my interest was when he said it “tasted like Cheetos”. Now that got my attention and sparked my curiosity, and I was ready to challenge his opinion and put it to the test.
The first bite was in pure skepticism—I’ve had my fair share of protein snacks touting impressive claims on taste, that fail miserably. I slowly chewed the puffy protein snack and tried to savor the flavor. “Not bad” I said as I waited for the dreaded after taste that would soon follow, but amazingly there wasn’t one! When I found myself in the clear, I took down another, then another, and before I knew it…the bag was empty. WOW! This stuff actually tasted REALLY good and completely satisfied the salty snack attack that hits even the strictest of dieters out there.
Although I wouldn’t say it tasted JUST like Cheetos, it’s not a far stretch of the imagination to make such a claim. Another thing I loved about Chef Jays Protein Puffs is the pure convenience factor. Handy grab and go bags that require no mixing, blending, heating, or melting. Overall, I give both the Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese flavor 5 out of 5 stars for incredible taste and convenience!

New Nutra-Caps, NOW IN STOCK!!!
NutraPlanet is proud to announce our new and upgraded selection of Nutra-Caps!!!
First up to bat is our high-quality, high-extract TEA-GCG™ (Green Tea Caps 50%) (100 caps), which yield 250mg of total EGCG! This product is currently ONLY $9.99!!!
NutraPlanet TEA-GCG™ is a reliable and affordable way to supply a super high quality green tea extract to your diet.
Green Tea, especially when extracted for high levels of a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is an anti-oxidant powerhouse, potent fat-burner and all around health super food. In fact, green tea is one of the widely studied herbs in existence. As of 2004, there were over 1000 studies published that demonstrated the health benefits of green tea.
As an anti-oxidant, green tea has been proven to be remarkably powerful and safe. EGCG, the main anti-oxidant compounds, work to increase superoxide radical, the most common free radical in the human body. Green tea containing large amounts of EGCG is being studied for everything from bone formation to its role in fighting the flu.
Green Tea is found in numerous fat burning products on the market for its ability to increase norephedrine levels, thereby stimulating fat mobilization and usage for energy and promotes thermogenesis, upregulating the body’s metabolism while at work and at rest.
Because this product contains small levels of natural caffeine, it should not be used by those wishing to eliminate caffeine from their diet.

Next, we are proud to offer our new Coleus 20% Capsules (90 caps), which are currently ONLY $14.95!!!
Coleus Forskohlii is an Ayurvedic herb that has shown to have a host of beneficial effects to anyone looking to better their health. Forskohlii is of interest to health enthusiasts as it has been shown to increase lean muscle mass while simultaneously decreasing levels of body fat.
In part, Forskohlii is able to exert these effects by activating an enzyme called adenylate cyclase, which in turn tells your body to increase levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, also known as cAMP. cAMP is a basically messenger molecule that signals the body to mobilize fat from fat cells. Once fat cells have the signal to release their contents for energy, fat enters the bloodstream where it is burned as fuel, which of course leads to a drop in body fat levels.
A patented form of Forskohlii was also shown to increase lean body mass by about eight pounds over a 12 week period with no changes in diet or exercise. It also improved testosterone levels as indicated by study researchers.
Although this study was carried out under the producer of the patented form of Forskohlii, it shows what may be possible with this wonder herb!

Creatine 101
Creatine is a natural constituent of cheese and meat, with the highest concentration found in red meat. Creatine is naturally found in the body, and is made from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. Your body can only store a finite, and small amount, before it has to synthesize more. This process takes place in the kidneys, liver, and pancreas.
Creatine works it's magic, by helping your body synthesize more ATP than it normally would be able to. ATP, or Adenosine triphosphate, is produced in the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell), and is the "power" that fuels any short-term muscular contractions. When a muscle contracts, bonds in the ATP molecule are split, yielding ADP (adenosine-diphosphate). Energy released by this "Holy Union" powers and contracts the muscle.
"The biggest thing to hit bodybuilding since protein!"
The myriad of possible health benefits from creatine supplementation is mind-boggling; with potential uses beyond bodybuilding and fitness. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Increases strength and endurance
- May increase protein synthesis
- Decreases fat stores
- Exhibits properties as a neuro protectant. May be useful in combating certain neuro disorders, under certain conditions.
- May increase alertness, by elevating ATP production in the brain.
- May be helpful as a neuro protectant under hypoxic conditions.
- May help maintain strength in individuals with certain musculo-skeletal, and muscle wasting diseases.
Different types of creatine
Most studies conducted on creatine, used creatine monohydrate, this type of creatine is bound to a water molecule. Creatine by itself is unstable, hence binding it to a more stable molecule, will yield better assimilation.
Creatine Monohydrate has hundreds of studies proving it's "Real world" effectiveness. Some users however, are non-responders. The "OLD" thinking was to combine creatine with a simple carbohydrate, which would illicit an insulin spike. The ensuing spike would transport the creatine into the muscle, forcing more than your body would normally absorb. While this worked great, there is still the concern of the extra calories consumed by this method, and the bloating and GI discomfort some users report.
"Here I come to save the day!"
Because of these issues, new types of creatine have been developed over the years. The most widely known alternate source is CEE, or creatine ethyl ester. This creatine increases absorption, by bonding an ester (think of it as an extra molecule), to the creatine molecule. This in turn helps improve absorption, as esterification will allow it to be absorbed in adipose (fat) tissue, where normal monohydrate does not.
Creatine Gluconate, on the other hand, is bound to gluconic acid, and a chelated mineral. Chelation is a process of binding a mineral to an amino acid, which enhances bioavailability.
Tri-creatine Malate combines creatine with malic acid. Malic acid is important in energy production and is an intermediary in the krebs cycle, which helps keep the creatine molecule intact once ingested. Once in the stomach, it is then readily broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream.
Forearmed with this knowledge, you should be able to pick which creatine is best for you. We have a variety of creatine products and blends, to help you achieve your ultimate physique!
New NOS Ether, NOW IN STOCK!!!
Back and better than ever, Get Diesel’s NEW VERSION of NOS Ether is now in stock at NutraPlanet!!!
NOS ETHER, the performance product considered to be the best non-hormonal supplement available for rapid strength and power gains is now upgraded to take your training to a higher level than ever before! NOS ETHER is known as the one product that high performance/intensity sport athletes rely on for fast recovery, rapid strength/power gains and endurance that last as long as their vigorous training sessions. NOS ETHER is now a 5-in-1 powerhouse providing an ETHER™ ATP (Strength/Power) blend, a NOS Precursor™ (Nitric Oxide/Insulin Sensitivity) blend, a JP4™ Endurance blend, a Mind Right™ Nootropic (Mental Focus) blend, and the DIESEL Antioxidant™ blend. Most companies would sell NOS ETHER as five different products for about $30 to $40+ each!
ETHER™ ATP (Strength/Power) blend - The ETHER blend produces rapid strength/power gains by optimizing your ATP levels better than any product available. ATP is the high energy compound responsible for explosive power and strength and it is the main energy source for the majority of cellular functions. NOS ETHER increases and recycles ATP to provide explosive strength and power during your workout as well as long term strength gains.
NOS Precursor™ (Nitric Oxide/Insulin Sensitivity) blend - This blend serves two purposes; first to provide sick vascularity and rock hard Nitric Oxide pumps and secondly to increase insulin sensitivity and nutrient partitioning to shuttle carbs and protein into your muscles increasing lean muscle mass gains during a bulking phase, or to help a cutting phase by allowing you to store less carbs as fat. When you use NOS ETHER as directed you will notice your bodyfat will be decreasing while your lean muscle mass is increasing!
JP4™ Endurance blend - New to NOS ETHER is the JP4 endurance blend powered by Beta-Alanine, Citrulline Malate, DMG, Rhodiola and Cordyceps. Your aerobic (high rep/distance) endurance will be greatly enhanced from the JP4 blend just as your anaerobic (low rep/spiriting/explosive power) will be enhanced with the ETHER blend in NOS ETHER.
Mind Right™ Nootropic (Mental Focus) blend - Everyone talks about this “Mind/Muscle” connection which is what you need for optimum performance. The Mind-Muscle connection is when your mind is performing at the same increased level as your muscles and vise versa. With NOS ETHER you get a nootropic (mental focus) enhancing blend that is caffeine free to complete the Mind-Muscle connection you need to perform focused, energized, and dialed-in WITH increases in strength, power and endurance. The Mind Right blend also works to give you less of a mentally drained feeling after you workout. If you love pre-workout stimulants such as Ready4War, you will find stacking them with NOS ETHER will be like throwing a turbo on their mental focus and energy effects because of the Mind Right nootropic blend.
DIESEL Antioxidant™ blend - Antioxidants are very important to overall heath and muscle repair. When you workout your muscles are flooded free radicals that destroy muscles and make the recovery process harder the more intense and/or frequently you train. The DIESEL Antioxidant blend helps to reduce oxidants and free radicals during and post workout allowing you to train harder, and recover faster than ever before.
