Product Details
ARTHROLYZE™
ARTHROLYZE™ contains key raw materials necessary for complete joint and connective tissue repair. Only the highest potency ingredients with maximum effective dosages are provided for fast, efficient, resynthesis of damaged cartilage, ligaments and tendons. No other joint repair formula on the market has the high potency dosages in ARTHROLYZE™!
INGREDIENTS:
GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE: Glucosamine has two critical functions in joint care: It rebuilds cartilage and it lubricates the joints.
a) In joint tissue, glycosaminoglycans are a major structural component of the surface cartilage. When this tissue breaks down during exercise, the body uses glucosamine sulfate to repair the damage. Because of the increased demand for glucosamine sulfate, large supplemental amounts (4000-8000mg per day) can help facilitate the repair of joint cartilage and connective tissue.
b) Supplemental glucosamine sulfate lubricates the joints by stimulating the production of joint-cushioning synovial fluid.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): MSM is an organic, non-toxic, substance comprised of approximately 1/3 sulfur. It’s important to remember that sulfur can be found in countless tissues of the human body including the structural proteins in joints and connective tissue. Taken in the right quantities (2-4 grams per day), MSM provides enough sulfur to repair damaged muscle and to rebuild injured joints. Let’s not forget that sulfur is also a significant component of collagen, which makes it vital to the formation and repair of cartilage.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Chondroitin Sulfate is another key component of cartilage that helps keep it healthy by drawing fluid (particularly water) into the surrounding connective tissue. Research suggests that chondroitin sulfate may also prevent the breakdown of connective tissue and help the body rebuild new cartilage
CALCIUM FRUCTOBORATE (FruiteX-B®): Calcium fructoborate is the only food-form source of boron available for dietary supplements. Its unique calcium-boron conglomerate supports vitamin D metabolism, calcium metabolism, collagen integrity, prostate health, as well as joint and bone health. This patented extract is water soluble and it’s efficiently absorbed into the blood stream in its intact form. In clinical studies with arthritis patients, doses of just 6mg per day (the dosage in ARTHROLYZE) resulted in reduced joint pain, less stiffness, and increased flexibility.

CARBOLYZETM - Contains two key recuperative ingredients:
Waxy maize starch is a long-chain, high molecular weight, carbohydrate that’s 100 times larger than maltodextrin and 3000 times bigger than dextrose. Waxy maize starch is sugar-free, yet moves through the stomach 80% faster than either dextrose or maltodextrin and helps facilitate rapid glycogen resynthesis and nutrient uptake into the muscles. Gone are the days of bloating and cramping!
D-Ribose is a naturally occurring 5-pentose carbohydrate molecule that’s found in all living cells and that helps facilitate the production of ATP (the primary energy source for all cellular processes). In studies of healthy athletes as well as those who have suffered injury to the heart muscle, supplying fatigued muscle cells with d-ribose quickly restored ATP to normal functioning levels.
Additionally, CARBOLYZETM has the unique ability to rapidly shuttle nutrients, as well as other performance supplements (e.g. creatine), through the stomach and into the bloodstream where they are then delivered directly to the working muscles to boost performance, increase recovery time, and stimulate protein synthesis. Welcome to the future of carbohydrate replacement drinks!
FIBERLYZE - Fiber Replacement Drink
No Sugar, No Fat, No Aspartame, AWESOME TASTE!
9 gms of health-promoting fiber per scoop
Facts and Information
FIBERLYZE is a unique combination fiber supplement that contains both soluble and insoluble fiber.
It’s been shown that the inclusion of soluble fiber from psyllium can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease by suppressing cholesterol synthesis in the liver and reducing blood levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. And less LDL cholesterol means less atherogenic plaques in the blood vessels.
What most people don’t know is that soluble fiber is also instrumental in any successful weightloss program. What? Fiber burns fat? Well, the beneficial bacteria of the colon have the ability to ferment soluble fiber. When this occurs, short chain fatty acids are liberated. These short chain fats can then enter the portal blood circulation and travel to the liver where they decrease the liver’s output of glucose. Less circulating glucose means that less insulin is released and lower insulin levels in the blood mean that less fat is stored.
Not to be forgotten, diets that include sources of insoluble fiber also have tremendous health and performance benefits. Insoluble fiber promotes regular bowel movements, removes toxic wastes from the colon, and prevents colon cancer by maintaining optimal pH’s in the intestines. And when the colon is healthy and toxins are being efficiently removed from the body, muscle can be synthesized and repaired at maximal rates.

Isolyze
ISOLYZE is 100% pure, cold-filtered, whey protein isolate. Its the highest yield whey protein available on the market with an amazing 27 grams of protein per 29 gram serving size.
ISOLYZE has no carbohydrates, no lactose (milk sugar), and no fat. Its the purest and most biogically available source of whey protein on the planet.
At SPECIES, we use a sophisticated cold filtration system that carefully separates out the delicate whey protein without damaging it. This procedure has the added benefit of preserving 3 valuable components of whey immunoglobins, lactoferrins, and glycomacropeptidesthat are necessary for optimal immune system function and protein synthesis reactions.
And if all this werent enough, ISOLYZE tastes great too! Gone are the days of the chemical- or sour-tasting whey isolates! With ISOLYZE, you get the best of both worlds great quality and great taste!
Lipolyze
LIPOLYZE can be best categorized as a caloric wasting supplement. Whereas most fat-burning formulations on today’s market depend on stimulants such as ephedra (rarely seen today), caffeine, and synephrine at SPECIES, we reject the premise that the only effective way to burn fat is to “stimulate” the body into action. While stimulants do increase metabolic rate, they also increase the production of catabolic (muscle-wasting) hormones such as cortisol. As cortisol levels rise in the body, lean muscle tissue is broken down, immune system function is suppressed, and dangerous abdominal belly fat deposition is increased.
Remember, the quantity of lean muscle in the body is highly correlated with the basal metabolic rate (BMR). Less muscle means a lower BMR! If stimulant-based fat burners are used to help shed unwanted body fat, there’s a very good chance that, once they’re discontinued, metabolic rate will significantly decrease and the predisposition to gain unwanted body fat will significantly increase.
If this scenario wasn’t bad enough, consider the fact that stimulants raise blood pressure, increase heart rate, and increase anxiety levels. What this means is that individuals with a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or brain chemistry abnormalities should certainly steer clear of these compounds. LIPOLYZE is the most potent non-stimulant based fat burner that’s legally available today!
Somalyze
SOMALYZE is a non-stimulant based fat burner that, simultaneously, functions as a sleep aid. The following paragraphs describe the unique blend of ingredients in SOMALYZE and the complex mechanisms of how they function to metabolize fat while you sleep.
USNIC ACID
Inside all the cells of the body, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the fuel source that powers all daily activities. The majority of this ATP is produced when fats are oxidized (burnt up) inside the mitochondria (power station) of the muscle cell. Usnic acid is what’s known in the field of biochemistry as an uncoupling agent. Derived from a simple plant lichen, Usnic acid “uncouples” or disconnects the ATP-producing machinery in the cell and “releases” all the potential energy that was supposed to be used to produce ATP. Due to the energy and ATP loss (which is dissipated as heat), the muscle cells must dig into stored body fat stores and oxidize additional fats to ensure that optimal energy levels are maintained.
The following analogy should help explain how Usnic acid exerts its energy-wasting effect in the human body. Imagine someone putting a hole in the gas tank of your automobile. The car would still perform at maximal capacity however, it would require a significant amount of additional fuel to travel the same distance it had prior to the punctured tank. Likewise, Usnic acid creates temporary “holes” in the mitochondrial membranes which then result in the loss of valuable “fuel” (ATP) from the “tank” (muscle cell). To combat this energy loss, additional fatty acids must be oxidized to ensure optimal performance levels.
Even more exciting is that fact that Usnic acid “wastes” calories without elevating blood pressure, without raising heart rate, and without causing any central nervous system stimulation. An individual can, literally, swallow a dose of Usnic acid, fall asleep, and start burning fat even while unconscious.
Individuals who consume 30-60mg of Usnic acid per day usually notice a slight increase in body temperature. This phenomenon is due to the fact that lost energy escapes from the body as heat. Remember, warmth is a good indicator that the Usnic acid is effectively wasting energy and thus burning fat.
PROPIONYL L-CARNITINE
Inside the cells, L-carnitine transports long chain fats into the mitochondria (energy-producing chamber) where they are then oxidized into ATP. In theory, if we can increase the amount of L-carnitine within the muscle, we can theoretically increase the quantity of fatty acids that get oxidized. Until recently the problem has been that regular L-carnitine and even the more exotic acetyl-L-carnitine lacked the ability to penetrate skeletal muscle tissue (which is where most fat oxidation occurs).
On the other hand, Propionyl-L-carnitine, a relatively new version of L-carnitine, has important effects on skeletal and cardiac muscle. Back in 1990, a human study demonstrated that propionyl-L-carnitine could combat the destructive effects of low oxygen status and muscle fatigue in heart and skeletal muscle. More relevant to our discussion is the fact that propionyl-L-carnitine has a tremendous ability to penetrate skeletal muscle and thus facilitate the transport of long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria.
GAMMA AMINOBUTYRIC ACID
GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid) is an amino acid-derived neurotransmitter (a chemical that transmits messages between nerve cells) that’s found predominantly in the hypothalamus of the brain. This is an important fact since the hypothalamus is located in a region of the brain (posterior lobe) that’s responsible for visceral functions such as sleep cycles, body temperature and the activity of the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is the master endocrine gland affecting all hormonal functions of the body. Numerous studies have shown that as GABA levels increase in this posterior region of the brain, plasma growth hormone (GH) levels also increase. This is significant for the athlete since GH dramatically mobilizes fat and rebuilds damaged muscle tissue.
GABA also has a slight relaxing or sedative effect on the body which makes it ideal for use at bedtime. Many people report improved sleep patterns and a well rested feeling upon arising. Colorful and somewhat lucid dreams are also frequently reported. Remember, as your quality of sleep increases, your ability to recover from stress and strenuous exercise also increases. Recent research has also demonstrated that well-rested individuals have much higher levels of appetite-suppressing leptins in the body. Therefore, the more you sleep, the less you’ll feel like eating.
Aside from the positive effects of burning stored body fat and getting a restful night sleep, individuals may experience some of GABAs other unique qualities. Some people report a skin surface tingling sensation for a few minutes after taking GABA. This is not uncommon and can be likened to a niacin “flush. Some also report a slight shortness of breath for a few minutes after taking GABA. This also is not uncommon and it’s nothing that is of serious concern.
MELATONIN
The pineal gland (located in the brain) synthesizes and secretes the hormone, melatonin, a structurally simple hormone that communicates information about environmental lighting to various parts of the body and then establishes specific circadian rhythms that inform the body whether it’s day or night. This light-transducing ability of the pineal gland has led some to call the pineal gland the third eye.,/
Normally, in the body, the timing of melatonin secretion is controlled by neural pathways that run from the retina of the eye to the hypothalamus and from the hypothalamus to the pineal gland. Interestingly, it’s the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus that controls bodily circadian cycles such as core body temperature, cortisol secretion, sleepiness, and melatonin secretion.
Melatonin preserves mitochondrial homeostasis, reduces free radical generation, and maintains ATP synthesis by stimulating electron flow through complex I and IV of the electron transport chain, even in the presence of uncoupling agents such as Usnic Acid and DNP.
When taken in supplement form, melatonin appears to be remarkably safe. Because of this fact, it’s been used for years in the treatment of certain sleep and mood disorders. One rather common condition that involves the disruption of natural circadian rhythms is “jet lag”. When traveling across time zones, it’s been repeatedly demonstrated that ingestion of melatonin close to the target bedtime of the visited location significantly alleviates most symptoms of “jet lag”.
Once again, a restful night sleep significantly increases the body’s ability to repair itself and more sleep translates to less hunger. Finally, don’t be surprised if you experience vivid, colorful, dreams while taking SOMALYZE.
PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (PC) and PHOSPHATIDYLETHANOLAMINE (PE)
Phosphatidylcholine and Phosphatidylethanolamine have been shown to reduce elevations of stress hormones such as ACTH and cortisol that are associated with strenuous exercise. This is an extremely important finding, since age-related increases in the cortisol/DHEA ratio are a significant biomarker of aging. This changing ratio of increased cortisol and decreased DHEA reflects the toxic effects to prolonged increases in cortisol levels (hypercortisolemia). These effects can ultimately manifest as the “Cushingoid” appearance (bloated face, fat stomach, and soft look) of many people over the age of 50. Consequently, many studies have demonstrated that the cortisol-blocking effects of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine may profoundly delay these adverse effects of aging.
Remember, whenever we exercise, the trauma of the workout creates stress in the body. In response, the adrenal glands release the 'stress hormone', cortisol. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone that breaks down muscle, suppresses immune system function, and precipitates the storage of ugly abdominal fat. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine can blunt this cortisol releasing effect to exercise and thus greatly enhance the body’s ability to repair itself and to prevent the accumulation of annoying body fat.
Testostolyze
TESTOSTOLYZE TM is a potent testosterone optimizer.
TESTOSTOLYZE works by inhibiting the aromatase and 5-alpha reductase enzyme systems. This results in less testosterone getting coverted to estrogen and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and more being available for valuable muscle synthesis and repair.
Remember, excess estrogen in the body can cause edema (water retention), gynecomastia (growth of the mammary glands in men), and estrogen-dependent fat deposition in the lower body. Excess estrogen is also responsible for shutting down hypothalamic-pituitary signaling hormones that increase testicular output of testosterone.
Likewise, an over-production of DHT can result in acne breakouts, male pattern baldness, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Directions:
Take 1 capsule 3x per day. For best results, use for at least 4 to 8 weeks.
