Growth Factor Line Is Here!

Growth Factor Line Is Here!

A new product line has launched; the Growth Factor (GF) Series is here! I have just made available, to YOU, in my opinion, the world’s highest quality IGF-1, and other growth factor product.

Listen to my podcast for more details on this exciting new line!

GF-250 | 120 capsules

Coming soon!

Alex Rogers is a supplement manufacturing expert. He has been formulating, consulting, & manufacturing dietary supplements since 1998. Alex invented protein customization in 1998 & was the first company to allow consumers to create their own protein blends. He helped create the first supplement to contain natural follistatin, invented whey protein with egg lecithin, & recently imported the world’s first 100% hydrolyzed whey.

New Product Line Coming Soon!  Growth Factor Series!

New Product Line Coming Soon! Growth Factor Series!

A new line is coming to Protein Factory that I am very excited to offer. This new line brings you potentially powerful new muscle-building weapons. And it marks another “first to market” product for the Protein Factory. The sports nutrition industry has never seen a product line like I am about to introduce. This is very exciting news!  

This new line revolves around colostrum and the growth factors that are contained within the powder. However, this is not your typical colostrum that every Tom, Dick, and Harry is selling today. We are originators, not followers! If you’re a Protein Factory customer, I would think that you expect more out of me than that to resurrect and copy some old product. As a Protein Factory customer, you expect me to come out with products nobody else has ever seen. And I uphold those expectations by releasing this new line. 

Why It Matters?

On paper, colostrum would look like to be a potent bodybuilding powder. But for some reason, it has disappointed many muscle-seeking users for decades. Hell, this powder has been around for over 30 years, and nobody is touting its usage as a must for bodybuilding nutrition.

So what is the problem?  

Again on paper, one would think colostrum is an excellent bodybuilding powder. Colostrum contains growth factors like IGF-1 that can help support muscle growth. IGF-1 increases muscle growth and increases protein synthesis. (1)Professional bodybuilders are known to take massive amounts of drugs to obtain their unnatural massive physiques use IGF-1 consistently. Not only that, but colostrum powder includes a whole other host of growth factors. But if colostrum powder contains all of these growth factors, why doesn’t it produce any noticeable results?

Why colostrum does not “work.”

About seven years ago, I created the world’s first and only egg powder that contained follistatin. Follistatin reduces myostatin in the human body. Myostatin, in layman’s terms, stops muscle growth. Less myostatin in the subject, more muscle, whether it’s a bull, rat, or human. Google it, if you have not already, and you’ll see what I am talking about.  

How did I invent this natural follistatin powder?

It all started when a company hired me to produce a natural follistatin powder because they could not. The main obstacle I faced was how to produce the egg powder without eliminating the follistatin. Previous attempts to manufacture fertile egg yolk powder using heat pasteurization and spray drying destroyed the delicate follistatin. Therefore I used two manufacturing techniques that did NOT kill the follistatin. These two techniques were so unique that they were PATENTED. The end result was a successful egg powder with naturally occurring follistatin. You may be asking yourself, what does this have to do with colostrum. The two are related because colostrum manufacturers today are using the same manufacturing processes on colostrum that they used on the egg powder. These processes, in my opinion, are also destroying the growth factors in the colostrum. And that, my friends, is why colostrum has been a disappointing product when it comes to increasing muscle growth. Guess what?  

NOT ANYMORE!!

If I were to ask you what is healthier to eat, vegetables grown in your backyard or vegetables from a can? If I asked you what is better, eating salmon that you just caught in a fresh stream or farm-raised salmon? If I asked you what is healthier, meat from a factory or meat from grass-fed, hormone-free cows. You get where I am heading with this, but I’m taking it a step further. It is easy to find colostrum from grass-fed cows and hormone-free, coming out of New Zealand, etc. However, what these companies do not tell you is this… (and look, I don’t blame them for not telling you this because they have no choice. It is what it is. )

The colostrum powder they are selling you has been HEAT pasteurized and spray dried using HEAT. Which, in my opinion, kills the growth factors and/or most certainly reduces the amount to some degree. I don’t care if they tell you, “Oh well, we use LOW HEAT,” or “We use a gentle pasteurization process.” No matter how much these manufacturers want to bullshit their way out of the problem, there is no way they can bullshit their way out of the heat the colostrum is subject to.  

The Big Difference.

You can see where I am heading with this. My new line contains colostrum in which some of the products are not subjected AT ALL to heat, and the others, 50% less. 

This is the same method I used to produce naturally occurring follistatin powder. NO HEAT processing. HEAT BAD!!! Therefore I eliminated it from this line as best I could.

I am initially launching the flagship product, which I am called GF-250. It comes in capsules in a glass amber bottle. When you get the bottle, you will see first and foremost that the bottle itself is something you’ve never seen before. GF-250 is the purest of the pure, when it comes to colostrum. No heat pasteurization and no spray drying.  

What Can One Expect From GF-250. 

My opinion is based on my past experience consuming my Bio Serum 1, which was bovine serum albumin LOADED with growth factors. My customers that used this product and I noticed strength gains within a couple of weeks. Then I have some customers that are BEGGING me to get in Bio Serum 1 again, which I am working on. However, this just tells me that the consumption of natural IGF-1 works when properly manufactured and NOT subjected to HEAT.

Switzerland Born High Growth Factor Capsules Coming Soon!

Switzerland Born High Growth Factor Capsules Coming Soon!

Last week I introduced my newest product, Force 440. It contains ingredients to trigger an anabolic effect in your body.

Well, I have some more good news for you. And yes, it is a new product. It is funny because sometimes I go MONTHS with a new product, and then suddenly they come one after the other back to back.

The following product is an absolutely incredible product. I am importing it from Europe. I don’t have a name for the product yet but I can tell you what it is.

It is RAW, UNPASTUERIZED colostrum in powdered form. This is the ONLY product that I know of in the world that is like this.

Why It Matters?Because being raw means absolutely NO denaturing that it is subjected to while being manufactured.

No denaturing means the powder is LOADED with growth factors, testosterone, androstenedione, IGF-1, and more.

I will have more on this FIRST to come to the sports nutrition market, product in days and weeks to come.

What’s the difference between this one coming out of Switzerland and everyone else’s?

All the colostrum powders and capsules you see on the internet are spray dried and pasteurized. I don’t care what the product marketing materials say, such as made in New Zealand, proprietary method, grass-fed, hormone free. It is all B.S. They still are denatured via spray drying and pasteurization. These are two denaturing steps. This colostrum I’m getting from Switzerland does not go through those processes. Instead, other methods are used to ensure product safety.

It is on the boat from Europe as we speak.

Without question, no other powder colostrum has the nutrients listed below in this quantity. Protein Factory brings it to you FIRST!!!

Buyer Warning:  New Research Shows Curcumin Supplements Failed Label Claims

Buyer Warning: New Research Shows Curcumin Supplements Failed Label Claims

A new study was just published on curcumin supplements that showed just a little over half contained met label claim.  Most failed the lab analysis.  

This is not surprising at all to me, and if you are a reader of Protein Factory’s articles, it should not be surprising to you at all.

I love curcumin.  The other day my stepdaughter asked me what multivitamin or greens supplement she should take.  She said all she is seeing is this one company green powders on TikTok.

My response to her was, “Don’t even bother with a multivitamin or greens powder!”.   First off, I said, most multivitamin powders are synthetic krap from China.  If anything, get one of my Muscle Colors.  Second, most greens powders, including the ones I sell, are made with spray-dried vegetable powders.  Instead, you want freeze-dried or, better yet, infrared like my Blue Generator. 

I said if you want to take something healthy every day, curcuminoids are my choice.   The number of health benefits is second to none, and the benefits to bodybuilders are just as good.   I wrote a great article detailing the benefits.  I told her I sell two different kinds.  The first one is actually curcuminoids; the second is a very efficient delivery system.  

Anyone is acceptable to use.  I use both.  I take a serving of each every day.  

But remember, I told her, don’t run to Walmart and buy one for $9.99.  Most likely, it won’t even contain what it says on the bottle.  And guess what, the study that was just published this month, proved me right…again!!!

Collagen Peptides Still Suck For Muscle Recovery

Collagen Peptides Still Suck For Muscle Recovery

Unlike 99 percent of the supplement websites that praise everything single supplement out there and don’t have one bad word to say about ANY of them, you will not find that hocus pocus type stuff here. I’ll tell you when I think something sucks, regardless of the “negativity” I will get in return from it.

It’s my opinion, and we have something called the 1st amendment in this country. Therefore I will exercise my freedoms when it comes to my opinion on supplements.

That being said.

Collagen Peptides suck!

The bottom line is it’s an incomplete protein, and there is absolutely no reason to use it over all the other protein powders out there.

The only reason companies are selling it now is because it is what I like to call a resurrected supplement. Meaning it was previously sold in the past and died, and then some supplement companies decided to bring it back in hopes to sucker people into buying it again, and low and behold, it worked.

Supplement buyers are actually made to believe that collagen is a protein powder.

HA!

This stuff is as much of a protein powder as I am much of a professional hockey player. Neither can be further from the truth.

Collagen peptides are not protein powders like whey or egg. Not even close.

FACTUALLY it is is an incomplete protein.

I have been calling collagen garbage ever since it was resurrected. And recently, a study comparing whey protein to collagen peptides was published backing me up. And here is the best part. The researchers tried to give collagen a so-called “advantage” over whey protein by adding 3 grams of leucine to it AND 2 grams of essential amino acids.

Meaning it was straight up whey protein isolate vs. hydrolyzed collagen peptides containing 3 grams of leucine and 2 grams of essential amino acids.

What were the results?

Whey protein isolate won! Even with the cheating by adding the extra amino acids to collagen. Imagine how much whey protein isolate would have kicked collagen’s ass if the researchers did not add the leucine and the other amino acids to it????

Therefore, don’t use collagen for sports nutrition. I only recommend collage if you are over 40 and want to improve your skin. And if that is your reason, only use Marine collagen peptides for at least 90 days.

Whey protein slapping collagen.

Could This Be The End Of Whey Protein?

Could This Be The End Of Whey Protein?

I have recently discovered a company that uses artificial intelligence to find peptides in food for specific health benefits. According to the research that they have completed already, one of their ingredients increased muscle protein synthesis better than whey and leucine.

Check out what the researchers are saying.

80% increase in muscle synthesis.

60% reduction in inflammation.

54% reduction in muscle loss.

Increases muscle regeneration

This is truly fantastic stuff and the most cutting-edge technology I have seen coming out of the nutritional field.

Sad bodybuilder thinking the end of whey protein could be near.

Using artificial intelligence to discover peptides significantly reduces the “research and development” time. Currently, most of the new ingredients that come out are found by accident, even though they are far and few in between. Not only that, but the discovery leads to what CAN the ingredient do for one’s health and not what the researcher needs it to do. Essentially, the component tells the research what it can do.

With this new artificial intelligence way of discovering new compounds, it is just the opposite. The researcher/scientist tells the computer what it is looking for, and the artificial intelligence finds it!!

My thoughts.

We consume protein powder for its ability to repair muscle, increase nitrogen retention, meet needed macronutrient goals, and most importantly, increase muscle protein synthesis. And now we potentially have a natural ingredient that performs these benefits better than dairy protein powders, like whey protein. This might be a complete game-changer for the nutritional industry and, need I say it, “dethrone whey protein as the king of bodybuilding supplements.” Not only that but can this new ingredient BUILD muscle like anabolic steroids? Will this new ingredient “work” better than whey protein. Imagine if this new technology produces muscle gains of 10 lbs?!? Talk about shaking up the industry.

My friends, this new A.I. nutritional technology might be coming to you in 2022.

I am currently researching these ingredients……stay tuned and make sure you read my emails.

Try These Combinations for Results & Some Research Updates

I see many of my customer’s orders coming through, and some people put together some awesome combinations. Here are some that you might be interested in. Keep in mind I have customers that have been buying from Protein Factory for about 20 years. Some people really know what they are doing when it comes to stacking supplements.

The first combination is this, I just call this one SOLID GAINS!

Ok so there you have it. A few stacks that I love to see when my customers are ordering.

Some tidbits:

If you are interested in purchasing fucoidan I found the best ingredients. It’s called Maritech 926. It comes from New Zealand and from THE manufacturer to get it. I think overall, it’s one of the best superfoods one can consume. Cancer, aging, skin, cardio…its just a great one to consume daily instead of a multi-vitamins.  

A company from Denmark made a new whey protein with higher levels of leucine. It should be available next year. 

Another company made a way to process whey protein using less heat. Only available in Europe right now, but I’m on it for when it becomes available in the U.S.A.

I found some info on some Chinese herbs that increase red blood cells…like anabolics…so I’ll pursue that.

I found new collagen that was just patented. Now you may know I DO NOT recommend collagen simply because it is AN INCOMPLETE protein!!! It is NOT a protein supplement. Yes, you can use MARINE collage for skin and anti-aging. But NOW, with this new collagen… it’s a complete protein! Pretty cool. More to come…

I saw a company pushing soy protein powder again…using some recent studies. Yes, soy protein has a great amino acid profile, and yes, that will hemp with muscle growth. HOWEVER, you can’t get past its ability to increase estrogen in the human body…stay away from it. ZERO reasons to use it. 

I saw another company pushing cricket protein powder. It is decent; however, no reason to use it unless you’re a climate-changing saving, sustainability type of person, so I guess that is your reason. Use cricket protein instead of dairy to save the planet.

Finally, some company developed a powder called dileucine. They claim it will help build muscle better than free form leucine. I will keep an eye on this one for you. 

Always researching you!!!
