APEX SUPPLEMENTS
The Purpose of Supplements
Due to individual food preferences the amount of nutrients and compounds may not be available from foods normally ingested in the amounts needed to achieve optimal health. Supplements supply the body with adequate, if not optimum, doses of select compounds that have the potential to enhance performance, suppress appetite, reduce body fat, increase muscle gain, quicken recovery, and improve overall health.
Health
The American Medical Association has released research showing that there is no guarantee that an individual will get all the necessary vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. Therefore, most health professionals consider the use of a daily multivitamin and mineral formula an appropriate nutritional safety measure for those attempting to identify and consume an optimal diet.
Altering body composition
It is very difficult to get all the nutrients the body needs while consuming the amount of food calories recommended for continuous body-fat loss. Without the proper nutrients, the working, changing muscles may become undernourished, causing the body to shed the muscle it cannot feed. Any time there is an increase in activity, there is an increase in nutrient usage. By supplying these nutrients without additional calories (through the use of supplements) the attempt is made to satisfy all nutrient needs for repair and growth without exceeding the amount of calories needed to sustain the deficit necessary for fat loss. Also, certain compounds may assist in appetite control.
Increasing performance and metabolic rate
Specific nutrients and nutrient combinations have the ability to improve exercise performance, recovery, and energy expenditure (over a 24-hour period). Improved performance, without the addition of calories, can also enhance fat-loss and muscle gain goals. More energized workouts burn more calories, subsequently contributing to a longer “after-burn” (i.e. more calories burned post-exercise while in recovery).
Why are Apex Supplements a step above the rest?
- Apex does not just sell products; they offer a complete, carefully structured strategy that allows for a very individualized supplement. For example, Apex multi-vitamin and mineral formulas have been designed to complement specific eating habits (high carbohydrate, high protein, balanced) with the correct balance of macronutrients. By combining your preferred food intake with the appropriate multivitamin and mineral formula, nutrient intake levels can remain in the optimal range. Using formulas that complement each other prevents the possibility of exceeding nutrient limits which is common with random supplement use.
- Apex supplements are produced by a registered pharmaceutical manufacturer to ensure purity, potency and reproducibility. The protocol includes 26 separate tests from raw materials to finished products. These tests serve as a validation for the consumer that the products in their hands contain the stated ingredients, are free of contaminants or impurities and that each batch of an individual product is identical down to the dose.
- Apex products incorporate unique, proprietary delivery systems to ensure effectiveness. By employing a pharmaceutical manufacturer, Apex is able to utilize their technology to ensure that the ingested nutrients reach the appropriate part of the body at the right time and in the proper amounts necessary to optimize the intended benefits.
- Apex raises the bar for the industry. They have an ongoing commitment to finance research in the area of dietary supplements using third-party testing sites and funding university clinical trials.
