Well, it's that time of year again. Time to adopt unrealistic goals and set them to arbitrary time frames, many related to the concept of a summer beach body. Or, rather, #summerbeachbody

But you know what? Maybe this year, it's time to do something different. Something truly revolutionary.

Do you want to know the secret to REAL extraordinary physique transformation?

Here it is: Figure out a healthy lifestyle that you enjoy, that works for you, and stick to it. One day at a time, until the weeks turn into months and the months into years. Lose a pound a week. Or a pound a month. You don't have to be rock-hard by March. Just a little firmer, a little stronger.

What does a healthy lifestyle consist of? Simple. Physical activity, a clean, nutritious diet, and proper rest. If you make those components the centerpiece of your life, you will gain muscle, you will lose excess fat, and you will attain a leaner, more toned physique.

It won't happen overnight, and that's a good thing. Because the more radical the changes you make, the less likely you are to sustain them, and the more rapidly you will surrender any improvements you've made. Indeed, your body may react to excessive stress and deprivation by turning down its inner "dimmer switch," lowering metabolism and aggressively hoarding fat stores, making future attempts at physique transformation even harder.

Yes, Supplements Will Play An Important Part in Your New Lifestyle

Now, having said all that, is there room in your new healthy lifestyle for nutritional supplements? Yes there certainly is. Supplements are intended to support your transformational efforts. They are not magic bullets; they are not a magic wand you wave over your head.

That is why, at the foot of every article you read on this site about advancements in sports supplement science, you will encounter this statement: "Use as directed with a sensible diet and exercise program that includes reduced caloric intake and increased physical activity."

So by all means, make 2023 the year you reach your physical peak. Join a gym or return to your gym. Do less DoorDashing and more home cooking. Use healthier ingredients and pay more attention to portions. Sleep on a regular schedule. Cut your screen time down. Way down. Become more aware. Spend more time outside.

Once you do, you'll be ready to augment your healthy daily regimen with advanced supplemental nutrition that will support and amplify the exercise, diet and rest that form the foundation of your better body in 2023.

So are we ready? Let's take a look at a few valuable tools that will help you stay on the path to looking better, feeling better and BEING better.

 

Support Metabolism and Boost Energy With a Super-Amplified Weight-Loss Supplement

If you think a weight-loss supplement doesn't fit into a gradual, sustainable, fitness-friendly lifestyle -- or if you've simply never tried a weight-loss supplement -- then you need to hear about the newest generation of diet-support technologies.

The old-school weight-loss supplements, founded on empty promises of instant and effortless fat loss and fueled mostly with harsh stimulants, are still out there, even if they've been discredited. In their place are a few special new products based on real science, that are achieving real results for people just like you.

We know this, because the Product Research Team here at ProSource has been at the forefront of weight-loss science for decades now, doing the research and experimentation that has laid the groundwork for new technologies of fat mobilization, metabolism support, and energy production. Those efforts have reached their culmination in a true breakthrough -- BetaStax® Elite 3.0 from BioQuest.

What's different about BetaStax Elite 3.0? Well, for one thing, it's key main ingredient has been subjected to extensive independent clinical study. In that randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical research study, sixty subjects took 400 mg of Meratrim® (BetaStax's key main ingredient) or placebo twice daily for 16 weeks. All subjects were asked to walk five days a week for 30 minutes and follow a standard calorie diet (2000 kcal/day). The Meratrim® supplemented subjects experienced FOUR times the weight-loss results of their well-exercised placebo-supplemented counterparts.



This is a pretty exciting development. But it's not all BetaStax Elite 3.0 has to offer. This advanced new Meratrim® technology is ideally suited to work in tandem with another potent weight-loss mechanism derived from green coffee beans and standardized for 45% chlorogenic acids. This additional catalyst has also been validated in independent, randomized, placebo-controlled research in which test subjects experienced statistically significant decreases in bodyweight and body mass index as compared to control.

These two mechanisms, working synergistically, combine to give BetaStax Elite 3.0 TWICE the weight-loss power of the original version of BetaStax Elite, which itself has helped countless people achieve their physique goals over the years. That's a legacy of transformational success you can trust.

Of course, looking good isn't the only end goal of your new sustainable healthy lifestyle. Feeling good is important, too. No matter how gradually you implement caloric restriction, your body is going to respond by slowing down metabolism, blood pressure and heart rate until you're in a low-energy slump. Here, BetaStax Elite 3.0 can provide more essential support.

BetaStax Elite 3.0 contains a matrix of energy catalysts which have been shown to help optimize mental alertness, reduce sensations of fatigue and provide the energy needed to train at a high level. An additional co-factor, rich in raspberry ketones, has been shown to support the mobilization and utilization of fat, ultimately preserving lean muscle during weight loss as your body uses fat for fuel more efficiently. This energizing matrix will keep you focused and motivated, especially in the early weeks and months of your regimen when you're tempted to backslide or give up entirely.

BetaStax Elite 3.0 will help you reach your physique goals and have you looking and feeling better than ever before. And yet, it's just one tool in your healthy-lifestyle toolbox. We haven't even addressed the most important component in your dietary regimen. That's protein. Lots and lots of protein. And in this case, a very unique protein indeed.

 

Unique Muscle-Supporting Fat-Loss Protein Matrix

We said earlier that there are no magic bullets when it comes to building a better body. But in fact there is one. It's protein. Protein supports the muscle tissue that, in turn, burns fat for energy. It also provides a thermogenic effect because it takes more energy to digest and assimilate than fats or carbs. Increased protein intake even boosts metabolism.

Research suggests that 25% of the total weight lost during typical dieting -- simple caloric restriction without exercise or supplementation -- is muscle. Losing fat while maintaining existing muscle mass -- and even adding to it -- is an enormous challenge. That's why ProSource Vectron® was invented.

ProSource Vectron® contains a superior-grade form of partially hydrolyzed whey protein isolate called Prolibra® that provides powerful muscle support. In addition, the patented protein peptide fragments found in Prolibra® are designed to enhance satiety by helping to stimulate the release of the hormone CCK. CCK is a hormone that is sent from your digestive tract to your brain letting your brain know that it needs to turn down the hunger signals.

Prolibra® also contains milk mineral complexes aimed at optimizing calcium levels within fat cells to yield maximum efficiency with regard to weight-loss support. These mechanisms, working in tandem, can produce remarkable results, as documented in a landmark clinical study in which test subjects taking Prolibra® retained twice as much lean muscle, while at the same time experiencing 79% fat loss compared to a control group at 51% fat loss (1 Frestedt).

There are a lot of proteins you can use to optimize and support your healthy lifestyle. ProSource's flagship protein, NytroWhey® Ultra Elite is certainly one. Vectron® is precision engineered to simultaneously address the two greatest obstacles to your physique transformation -- excess fat and loss of muscle mass. It's your most direct pathway to a lean, toned physique.

 

Power Up Your Workouts With a State-of-the-Art Pre-Workout Formula

The last key to a stable, sustainable healthy lifestyle that generates real physique enhancement is workouts that increase in productivity over time. If you belong to a gym now or have ever joined a gym, you know that gyms start getting more crowded in January, reach peak capacity in February and March, and then start emptying out again. Big gym chains actually depend on this phenomenon. They oversell memberships out of all proportion to the equipment and space on hand, knowing full well that most of these newcomers will only last a few weeks.

Why is this? Because people show up at the gym with outsized expectations that are almost immediately dashed. Their strength and stamina don't increase much. They get sore and tired. And worst of all, they don't see any results. So they give up until next January, when they'll show up again with the same unrealistic goals.

The first step to breaking this chain of self-defeating events is to realize that you're not going to radically transform into a savagely ripped hunk of muscle mass in a matter of weeks or months. Physique enhancement is a slow process that has no real end point. Start slow, start reasonably, and work your way up.

But you do have to work your way up. If you go to the gym three times a week and do the same workouts in the same way with the same weights on the bar, you're not going to get anywhere. Productivity is key. You have to hit the gym floor focused and primed to make incremental progress not just in that workout but over the long haul. A superior-quality pre-workout formula can help with that.

The ultimate multi-pathway pre-workout performance optimizer, Fusion Force® from BioQuest supports every aspect of performance and muscle growth, while delivering its key ingredients in optimal potencies. Its combination of superior Creapure® German creatine monohydrate and beta alanine function as a perfect one-two punch for peak performance and growth. Creatine, especially in its monohydrate form, has been associated with positive effects on strength, training capacity, and muscle mass. It is ideal for supporting short, high-velocity bursts of power and strength. Meanwhile, beta alanine buffers skeletal muscle pH (acidity) during high-intensity exercise, providing improved endurance.

Fusion Force also provides a powerful matrix of precision-targeted essential aminos, dynamic energy-boosting compounds, muscle pump potentiators, and fat mobilization co-factors. It will instill dramatic productivity into your workouts and is the third essential tool in your healthy lifestyle toolbox.
