Bioavail WEB is a web resource for sports nutrition enthusiasts seeking accurate information, insight, and new perspectives on how to judge sports nutrition products and their ingredients, before making an informed decision. Core areas of fat loss, lean mass development, and sports performance consideration are addressed. This initiative seeks to clearly explain the effectiveness of sports supplement ingredients, according to user-defined objective(s) in exploiting their biological effects on body composition.

By clearly illustrating ingredient relevance, quality, stacking potential, and supplement schedule positioning, users can better select products on the basis of effective ingredient information rather than on the basis of distorted product advertising normally seen in fitness-related publications. Recommended products within the Bioavail sphere stem from the aggregation of select ingredients, which are deemed to be effective. Information on how to stack which ingredients and/or products is given on the foundation of qualitative knowledge: The reason is that even within quantitative guidelines (i.e., calorie consumption, etc.), user differences due to metabolism, body structure, and other genetic factors are diverse enough to be accurately assessed only by the individual.

Preview our web sections herein, as well as our blog and recommended links, before making an investment that should live up to its desired sports nutrition payoff.

Independent sports nutrition information is brought to users seeking to make informed decisions about which products to purchase and why. Each person has his or her own objectives about the desired body recomposition effects from training, nutrition, and the ancillary use of sports supplements. Most of the guidelines within the BioAvail Framework are uniquely positioned from a qualitative standpoint, with minimal quantitative references that acknowledge certain ranges of biological and physiological tolerance (i.e., persons with abc weight range may take 1/2 to full xyz amounts of a certain supplement, and so on). This is again, according to the unique needs of the individual. Each subsection or area of focus herein has certain conceptual frames of thought that form the basis of further analysis within the area:

Sports Nutrition - ingredient analysis by biological function and specified application area for desired end results
Fat Loss - repartitioning + metabolic adjustments through spatial alterations in training and nutrition
Lean Mass - repartitioning at higher calorie input, amino acid + specialty supplement positioning for specified effects
Fitness - qualitative analysis of marginal alterations in training and their synergistic effects with supplement performance
Sports Performance - unique analysis of specific performance functions and how supplement usage affects results

Users should gain insight into how their routines can be improved through their personal selection and application of concepts towards desired objectives. Much of the underlying thought patterns in conventional advice by experts are rooted in the assumption that user preferences in training and nutrition are almost always incorrect. Again, this can only be addressed on an individual basis. However, offering the second option of improving what already exists within the user's training context can prove invaluable to effective results with the right products housing the best ingredients.

Here are some popular ingredients seen in products that users find to be extremely effective in both the short and the long-term. As you see, these ingredients are listed in no particular order, but with concise descriptions of their primary properties, and a few are listed with their stacking potential.


HMB - highly anti-catabolic, supports growth, immune enhancing, lowers LDL cholesterol by using it to build muscle
Glutamine Peptide - highly anabolic, 10x more potent than regular glutamine, cell volume, size, growth, stack: HMB
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid - R-ALA, Extreme repartitioning, potent anti-oxidant, energy enhancing and system regeneration
Vanadyl Sulfate - extreme repartitioning, acts as independent insulin mimicker, vascular pumps, size, strength, growth
L-Taurine - insulin mimicking amino acid, increases epinephrine output, stack: R-ALA + Vanadyl with large meals
CISSUS - connective tissue regeneration, joint strengthener, power amplification, highly anti-catabolic supporting growth
ECA - Ephredrine/Caffiene/Aspirin stack, maximum fat burning and CNS stimulation, self-reinforcing energy production
L-Tyrosine - stimulatory amino acid, nootropic properties, amplifies fat loss, brain, and certain aphrodisiac substances
Creatine Monohydrate + Waxi Maze + Insulin Mimickers - enhanced creatine uptake, size, power, hardness, vascularity
Arginine AKG/KIC - NO2, cell wall expansion amps other supplements, lowers blood pressure, vascularity + extreme pumps
ZMA - natural testosterone booster, recovery, strength amplification, lucid dream predisposition during sleep, mental clarity


Many products that may or may not be recommended could have the above ingredients in a manufactured stack. It is up to user to make the ultimate decision, especially when the array of products within each category and subcategory becomes too challenging without the aid the aforementioned information.

Increasing training intensity while using anti-catabolic supplements can assist in fat loss effects, especially if training volume is adjusted to accommodate optimal levels of duration and intensity. Assuming one has addressed dietary requirements for individual fat loss objectives, below are several popular supplements that can accelerate one's existing regimen to attain results.


ECA - Ephredrine/Caffiene/Aspirin stack, maximum fat burning and CNS stimulation, self-reinforcing energy production
L-Tyrosine/Evodiamine/Octopamine - stimulatory and nootropic amino acid, Beta-3 agonist - targets B3 fat receptor sites
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid - R-ALA, Extreme repartitioning, potent anti-oxidant, energy enhancing, take with meals
Chromium Picolinate - optimizes insulin repartitioning effects, body recomposition, take with meals
Guggulsterones - natural thyroid optimization of T3 conversion from T4, metabolic increases correlate with fat loss
HMB - highly anti-catabolic, lowers LDL cholesterol by using it to build muscle, supports fat loss from calorie restriction


Training movement selection should be geared towards free-weight basic movements that work both prime mover and stabilizer muscle fibers at alternate intensity-duration equilibrium points, at maximum capacity. Calorie restriction should be positioned towards periods that precede training with the post-workout meal being the main meal. This helps to maximize the body's repartitioning function with respect to recovery and anabolism.

The ultimate quest is to create the option of developing long-term lean mass at the personally desired levels for every individual who wishes to do so, but under the safest conditions possible. Many think this is illusory, but in the sports nutrition space today, anything is possible. Certain natural substances, if used positioned correctly in the right stacking sequence can elicit effects that rival those of low level anabolic compounds.


Recommended Anti-Catabolic Stack

HMB - highly anti-catabolic, supports growth, immune enhancing, lowers LDL cholesterol by using it to build muscle
Glutamine Peptide - highly anabolic, 10x more potent than regular Glutamine, cell volume, size, growth, stack: HMB
CISSUS - connective tissue regeneration, joint strengthener, power amplification, highly anti-catabolic supporting growth
Vitamin C - anti-cortisol, anti-catabolic, immume system enhancing, connective tissue and collagen support
Phosphatidylserine - anti-cortisol, anti-catabolic, potent nootropic - increases neural communications fluidity


Recommended Repartitioning Stack (only take with meals)

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid - R-ALA, Extreme repartitioning, potent anti-oxidant, energy enhancing and system regeneration
Vanadyl Sulfate - extreme repartitioning, acts as independent insulin mimicker, vascular pumps, size, strength, growth
L-Taurine - insulin mimicking amino acid, increases epinephrine output, stack: R-ALA + Vanadyl with large meals
Chromium Picolinate - optimizes insulin repartitioning effects, body recomposition, take with meals


The above are examples of stacking sequences that can produce identifiable and measurable results. In the first stacking sequence for anti-catabolism, sharp strength increases as well as compressed recovery should be the effects to look for initially (not size). Any cell volumizing effects that occur when beginning this stack will most certainly stem from the use of glutamine peptide. In the long-term, mass should go up slowly but consistently. However, the lean mass increases should be just a bit faster than if this stack were not employed, thus setting up trajectory scale in long-term muscle mass accumulation.

In the second stacking sequence for repartitioning, the aggregation of the above substances is designed to have synergistic effects on maximizing the amount of macro-nutrients the body can effeciently store into muscle, while averting fat cell storage. Energy increases and enhanced pumps from cell volumization, due to enhanced glycogen storage are the primary indicators of initial success. Long-term results will illustrate increases in contractile protein or increased muscle mass and relatively lower fat storage, which results from consistent redirection of macro-nutrients into muscle cells and away from fat cells.

Conventional information about sports nutrition as it relates to fitness rarely goes in-depth about how the basic components of multi-vitamin and mineral supplements (and their offshoot derivatives) can be used to excel physiologically towards desired fitness objectives. Multi-Vitamins are usually recommended as the starting point, but herein it is specified that these products should contain a sufficient enzymatic component. Many do not and most of those that do have inadequate amounts necessary to digest and assimilate the components of that major meal.


Multi-Vitamin with enzyme concentration - optimizes macro-nutrient absorption, digestion, assimilation, and partioning
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid - R-ALA, Extreme repartitioning, potent anti-oxidant, energy enhancing and system regeneration
Anti-Oxidant Formula - immune enhancing, compresses biological recovery time, quelches free radical oxidation, energy
Vitamin C - anti-cortisol, anti-catabolic, immume system enhancing, connective tissue and collagen support
Glucosamine + Chrondroitin Sulfate - connective tissue regeneration, halts enzyme-induced cartilage breakdown
Grape Seed Extract - within Antioxidant Formula - strong anti-oxidant, high in bioflavanoids, may protect against certain inflammatory responses


The above stack alone can assist fitness enthusiast in gaining lean mass without the excess expenditure in time and money normally espoused for buying and consuming high macro-nutrient supplements that sharply amplify caloric intake. By stacking the enzymatic properties (within the multi-vitamin) with the repartitioning properties of R-ALA, users can increase calories in highly controlled increments and experience increases in lean mass over time. At the same time, considering that caloric intake vectors in small increments, fat cell storage can be averted to the extent that fat loss becomes one of the tertiary effects of the stack.

Different sports have their objectives strongly geared towards performance in sync with maximum fitness value and performance attribute configuration necessary to win. Some sports may have similar performance and fitness values, while those of others may be diametrically opposed altogether. For example, the muscular endurance fitness characteristic of boxing does require explosive punching power in tandem, which although only similar to the explosive characteristic of moving weights in powerlifting, powerlifting compared to boxing does not require significant muscular endurance. And boxing does not require fast twitch explosion at the expense of long-range endurance. Some attribute configurations for performance may exist in several areas. For example, although baseball appears to have aerobic fitness as the primary fitness value, it is arguable that joint health plays just as crucial a role, especially in the long-term as players age. Here's an example of basic performance stack geared towards progressive recovery.


Multi-Vitamin with enzyme concentration - optimizes macro-nutrient absorption, digestion, assimilation, and partioning
HMB - highly anti-catabolic, accelerates recovery and internal regeneration, amps strength and increases resilience
CISSUS - connective tissue regeneration, joint strengthener, power amplification, highly anti-catabolic
Anti-Oxidant Formula - immune enhancing, compresses biological recovery time, quelches free radical oxidation, energy
Vitamin C - anti-cortisol, anti-catabolic, immume system enhancing, connective tissue and collagen support
Glucosamine + Chrondroitin Sulfate - connective tissue regeneration, halts enzyme-induced cartilage breakdown


Supplement usage in sports should focus strongly on recovery, especially during intense training periods. Athletes should not rely on stimulants as the primary performance factor, as most of the time it's a misinterpretation of what really is inadequate recovery due to improper balance among nutrition, training, and rest. This should be addressed through more natural means. Sports that require explosiveness can incorporate the use of creatine monohydrate, while those activities that require a much higher endurance component may want to explore supplements like citrulline malate.

The original Bioavail blog was started in 2007 to aggregate and communicate useful insights about select supplements in the sports nutrition vertical. Many supplement users today are still confused, and can only make a judgment on products, based on highly steered marketing from product manufacturers. What if one could access and aggregate the proper information for personal needs from independent sources that focus critically on not only objective insights, but also on making concise recommendations that lead directly towards one's destination?
