compressed, dried matter. She was amazed that I was able to get out of bed in the morning. From that point onward, I removed stimulants for brief but increasing periods, as painful as it was, until I had reestablished basic adrenal function. It was clear that another fat-loss approach was needed, something more sustainable. I wanted to find a nonstimulant stack that used different pathways altogether. After: PAGG The end result was PAGG. Policosanol: 2025 mg Alpha-lipoic acid: 100300 mg (I take 300 mg with each meal, but some people experience acid reflux symptoms with more than 100 mg) Green tea flavanols (decaffeinated with at least 325 mg EGCG): 325 mg Garlic extract: 200 mg Daily PAGG intake is timed before meals and bed, which produces a schedule like this: Prior to breakfast: AGG Prior to lunch: AGG Prior to dinner: AGG Prior to bed: PAGG AGG is simply PAGG minus policosanol. This dosing schedule is followed six days a week
mixtures of several CLA isomers (e.g., c9,t11: 41%; t10,c12: 44%; t9,t11/t10,t12: Histidyl Dipeptides 7%). Some studies have shown that the t10,c12 isomer (Fig. 24.3, bottom) exhibits Various endogenous antioxidants, including stronger physiological activities than those of tocopherols, ubiquinone, cartenoids, ascorbic the c9,t11-isomer. However, most animal acid, glutathione, lipoic acid, uric acid, products such as beef and cow’s milk contain spermine, carnosine, and anserine, have been only trace amounts of the t10,c12 CLA found in skeletal muscle (Decker et al. 2000). isomer. Both carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) and The CLA content of animal products is anserine (N-β-alanyl-1-methyl-L-histidine)
