Does Creatine Really Do What it Says it Does

¶ … Plant-Based Protein: Whole Green Hemps The claims made by Whole Green Hemps are supported by the study by Furhman and Ferreri, who state that "plant foods are associated with beneficial effects on overall health, lifespan, immune function, and cardiovascular health [as well as] improved athletic performace" (233). Their study indicates that alternative plant-based protein supplements like Whole Green Hemps is good for the body and does provide the system with essential fatty acids.

The fiber and vitamins plus the minerals in hemp protein are exactly those used in the human body, so there is the natural association. Furhman and Ferreri, however, do raise one objection as they indicate that a diet consisting solely of plant-based products would not be entirely beneficial for a balanced system. But Whole Green Hemps is not intended to replace an athlete's normal diet, as it is only used as a supplement; therefore, this objection is not relevant to the discuss of whether this product's claims are verifiable.

As far as the product is concerned, the ingredients contained therein are sufficient to cause the supplement to perform as claimed and the research conducted by Furhman and Ferreri is sufficient evidence that a plant-based protein supplement like Whole Green Hemps will do what it says it will do.

Caffeine: Applied Nutriceuticals -- Caffeine The claims made by this product are supported by the research of Yurcheshen, Seehuus and Pigeon, whose study indicates that caffeine supplements such as those provided by Applied Nutriceuticals are helpful in stimulating the body in such a way that the individual feels more of an ability to "focus" or be "awake," though individual responses will vary from person to person because of the uniqueness of physical make-ups as well as the tolerance levels of different persons.

Those who are used to receiving caffeine stimulants will likely require more than individuals who are not used to them. The researchers also indicate that caffeine can become addictive and habit forming, but this is not something denied by the producers of the supplement so there is no case of something being refuted. Essentially this study simply supports the claims made by this supplement. Yurcheshen, Michael; Seehuus, Martin; Pigeon, Wilfred.

Creatine Whey Glutamine Powder (Vanilla) The study by Herda, Herda, Costa, Ryan, Stout, and Cramer found that creatine whey powder supplement did assist in the building of muscle mass in a controlled study using a "randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial" (3091). However, they also found that the same results could be achieved by implementing a workout regimen consisting of "8 weeks of resistance training" that could improve "muscle performance and size similarly among groups.
