2008 International Society of Sports Nutrition Scientific Conference[/B][/size][/color][/center]
[B]Summary:[/B] How can sports nutrition consumers know if the supplements they're using are effective and safe? A clinical study, to start. And, the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) scientific conference, for another. Just two weeks ago, at the ISSN?s annual conference, researchers from all over the world shared the most exciting research on sports supplements. And one of the most popular studies was on a brand-new muscle builder, sports nutrition supplement called Morph from iSatori, which showed that it increased lean mass of the arms by 1.77 times over the corresponding placebo group.
[Golden, CO (PRWeb), June 18, 2008] Sadly, the majority of sports nutrition supplements never undergo clinical testing of any kind. And only one in a thousand has been shown to be effective in the laboratory as well as the real world. Instead, marketing and safety are based on the research of the individual ingredients, if at all. Combined with theories, hype posted on internet message boards and thus, hopes and dreams more than real science.
The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN, [url]http://www.sportsnutritionsociety.org/site/index.php)[/url], however, is determined to change this sad state and provide the opportunity for researchers and manufacturers to gather together to study and present the results on supplements. And thus gain greater credibly for supplements and the scientific research behind them.
"We've been strong supporters of supplement science since we launched our first product back in 2002. In fact, that first year, we also had our first study published in a respected, peer-reviewed journal (NUTRITION) on our flagship product, Lean System 7," explains Stephen Adele, CEO of iSatori Technologies ([url]http://www.isatoritech.com)[/url]. "This is why we're also adamant supporters of the ISSN. And the reason we attend their annual conferences."
"This year, it was especially important for us to be in Las Vegas at the Annual ISSN conference at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa as we had our latest study on our hottest new muscle-builder, Morph ([url]http://www.IamMorph.com)[/url], presented," shares Marketing Coordinator Sue Mosebar. "And the results of this study blew away even our highest expectations for Morph."
The study, entitled "Effect of MORPH? on Exercise-Induced Changes in Lean Mass of the Arms" and presented by Dr. Tim Ziegenfuss, indicated that short-term supplementation with Morph, containing primarily beta-alanine, arginine, creatine malate, and glycerol monostearate, promotes resistance exercise-induced increases in lean mass of the arms without negatively affecting blood pressure. (See the attached chart.)
In fact, there was a 1.77 times greater increase in the lean mass of the arms over the corresponding placebo group. And because Morph doesn?t contain any type of central nervous system ?stimulants,? as expected, there were no effects on heart rate or blood pressure for participants who supplemented with Morph.
"Once the research poster on Morph was presented, the interest level was very high, and I handed out a lot of samples as well as copies of the research abstract," adds Brandon Frickey, Marketing Specialist at iSatori. "It's always great to come out and support the scientific community. Not many companies are willing to open themselves up to scientific scrutiny and support their work. But we're proud to support this society and answer the tough scientific questions on any of our products."

[B]>> 1.77 Times Greater Increase in Lean Mass of the Arms <<[/B]
[B]Interpretation:[/B] The blue line represents changes in arm lean mass during Trial A (MORPH?), while the red line represents changes during Trial B (Placebo). The analysis using a repeated-measures ANOVA was statistically significant (p=0.0354), indicating a difference between trials. Post-hoc analysis (i.e., one-way ANOVA on the change scores) indicated that during Trial A (MORPH?), subjects increased their Arm Lean Mass significantly more than during Trial B (Placebo). Specifically, the change in Arm Lean Mass during Trial A was 13.5%, while the change was only 7.6% during Trial B (p<0.0276). See graph below:

[B]Summary:[/B] Relative to the arm lean mass translation, trial A was Morph, while trial B was placebo. Morph increased lean mass of the arms by 13.5% compared to pre-exercise, while the workout itself (placebo) increased lean mass of the arms by 7.6%. This translates into a 1.77 times greater increase in lean mass of the arms. Although this study was not designed to determine the mechanisms behind the observed differences, the greater increase in lean mass of the arms during the Morph trial is likely the result of the interplay between neurogenic, hormonal, and metabolic factors that increase blood flow to the small arteries and arterioles of the active muscles. In other words, during exercise the body makes physiological adjustments to accomplish a given task ? in this case, biceps curls and lying triceps extensions. The nervous system coordinates the firing of electrical signals to the muscle fibers, which respond by contracting to move the weight. During this process, different sources of energy (called substrates) are used to regenerate ATP (adenosine triphosphate). As these substrates become depleted and their metabolites accumulate, it signals the body to call on additional energy reserves, and activates two key enzymes (AMP 5'-nucleotidase and nitric oxide [NO] synthase) that increase skeletal muscle blood flow. The ingredients in Morph apparently influence this process in a way that increases the vasodilatory responses within the active musculature.
