ProSource Media Talks Exclusively With Hugh Jackman at the World Premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine
May 1, 2009 Celebrity Spotlights, Events, Prosource News, Training Tips
It’s not true that Hugh Jackman owns the entire world, these days. It just seems that way.
The accomplished actor and reigning People Magazine “Sexiest Man Alive” has appeared in a string of critical and commercial big-screen blockbusters in recent years and is now poised to cement his reputation as a supreme “A-list” leading man with his newest and biggest movie yet … X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Even as Jackman’s popularity has soared among moviegoers, he has developed a huge fanbase among bodybuilders and athletes who admire the star’s commitment to a rigorous workout regimen and his ability to transform his physique to match specific movie roles. Recently, for instance, Jackman trimmed down and leaned out to the extreme to portray a cattle drover in the Outback romance, Australia, then added several pounds of rock-hard muscle to prepare for his latest screen turn as the dynamic and conflicted Wolverine in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

ProSource Searches the World for the Highest Grade, Purest Ingredients Available
Jan 14, 2009 Prosource News
By Gary Crass
Whether it’s the robust quality of a German beer or the dependability of a Swiss timepiece, finding the best sometimes requires a global perspective; and the same applies to supplements. Unquestionably, effective nutritional supplements need a high level of purity and potency, which requires an exhaustive worldwide search if you want the highest-grade ingredients available. You might be surprised to learn that in a day’s intake of ProSource supplements you’re using tribulus from Bulgaria (AndroTest), creatine from Germany (Synthatrex Extreme), glutamine from Japan, and whey protein from—how ‘bout this—good old USA (NytroWhey protein line). At ProSource, no stone is left unturned in order to find the most advanced and best ingredients for optimum effectiveness and purity.
But how much difference can there be when it comes to creatines, whey proteins or tribulus? Aren’t they all basically the same? You might be tempted to believe this, given some of the ad hype and questionable advice from certain gym rats. But you would be doing yourself a disservice if you gave in for the simple reason that lower grade supplements are just not as effective. This becomes a serious problem when you consider the fact that purity percentage in extracts can vary by as much as 50% or more and some creatines on the market can contain up to 5% impurities. The fact is, lower-grade compounds and extracts are simply not assimilated and utilized as well by the body as higher-grade compounds. If you had to choose only one method for selecting a product, virtually all experts in the field of supplementation would agree that it should be ingredient purity and potency. The bottom line is this: All the research and product development, fancy labeling and high-end marketing mean nothing without high-grade, pure ingredients.

Phosphatidylserine Emerges as a “Wonder Nutrient”
Oct 17, 2008 General Health & Fitness, Product Reviews, Prosource News
Our supplementation needs are rather straightforward; to improve the quality of our lives by shoring-up weaknesses from diet and furthermore augmenting strategically important nutrients that might otherwise be difficult to obtain through normal diet. That, of course, is quite the “shopping list” of needs, yet I think it helps in deciding on goals of supplementation and leads you into understanding why phosphatidylserine (PS) is so important. As you consider two streams of interests, athletic and general overall health, you’ll understand why PS reigns supreme in both categories.
From an athletic standpoint, much of the training talk is exercise protocols and the like. Great focus is spent on “active” training sessions, yet for experienced coaches, the secret ingredient is quite possibly in regeneration work. How we train to improve recovery is quite easily the balance of the work-week, whether it is through “active recovery” work with General Physical Preparation or sub-maximal training runs. Off the practice fields and out of the weight rooms, diet concerns have become possibly the biggest road-block for coaches as without the proper diet approach our work will fall short. However due to nutrient loss in some food sources and the needs of the athlete, proper supplementation is an absolute must (please see: “Simplicity, part 3“). Sitting first on my list of five “supplement musts” is phosphatidylserine.
It has been shown that PS will increase the rate of recovery as well as prevent muscle soreness, thus greatly improving the rate of return in training and the actual amount of training that an individual (or team) can perform. While this cannot be understated given their importance possibly the biggest aspect of PS use that corresponds to the general population is how is known to improve levels of concentration and reducing stress that are massive issues within sport. An athlete who performs with less stress and greater concentration is well on the way to success and combined with the physical benefits, phosphatidylserine is a hands down a necessity for athletes.
For the general mainstream, the use of PS cannot be understated for its impact upon cognitive abilities. The impact upon cognitive issues have been nothing short of extraordinary as it has been shown to improve memory and overall mood and many have coined it an “anti-aging” supplement. I have been working of late with a Chess Master and it has shown a tremendous benefit in maintaining his incredible memory and tactical sharpness. The role of PS is crucial in the brain function and has been linked to delaying memory loss by improving overall efficiency of the neural transmitters. Interestingly enough, as we consider this role and its impact on suppressing cortisol secretion and how it will serve to enhance mood, we’ve also tapped into one of the simplest supplement methods to alleviate the circuitous problem of stress-related weight gain and middle-age. For the uninitiated, increased stress and the secretion of cortisol will result in increased fat gain but of course for those who are stressed about adding weight, the problem is now complicated because they are further stressed. This circuitous problem is not an easy one to clean up but PS might be the easiest and most straight-forward start anyone can make.
Unfortunately the ease of attaining phosphatidylserine through diet isn’t very basic as it found primarily through fish and meat sources, particularly in organs such as in the kidney and liver as well as the brain. Beyond the epicurean issues, with levels of mercury in many fish products becoming very problematic, supplementation with posphatidylserine is the best road to take. It is helpful to keep in mind here that truly effective PS supplements are few and far between. ProSource’s own Super Phosphatidylserine contains Leci-PS, from AlzChem., which contains 5 times the dosage of active PS provided by lesser supplements.
I hope that clears up any doubts on why you should make phosphatidylserine part of your supplement choices.
