Liver must be classed as a superfood. It is unique in that it hs an enzyme called Cytochrome P-450. This enzyme is not found in any other food source anywhere in the world. Cytochrome P-450 has the capacity to promote the proliferation of red blood cells in your muscles. This in turn allows your body to take up more valuable oxygen. Oxygen increases superior energy levels which is vital for hard training bodybuilders and sports people, to enable them to improve their workouts and perform at the highest levels. Bodybuilders have the added advantage of getting a far superior pump when extra oxygen is present.
While all vitamins are important, for bodybuilders and sports people, probably the single most important group of vitamins is the B-complex. There are eleven in total the we know about. Although nutritional scientists believe there are others not yet isolated. You won`t find these in your standard Vitamin B Complex supplement. Liver provides the lot. All known members of the complex and others as yet not known identified. Being totally natural, this full spectrum is assured. You also get Vitamins A & C, iron of the Heomoglobin type, the most absorbable of all forms of iron. Even if you took no other supplement than Liver, you would be providing your body with a huge range of nutritional benefits. Apart from the items mentioned, Liver contains the full spectrum of amino acids. This makes it a perfect source of protein, 76%. Even given all that, the one factor which makes Liver absolutely unique is the element found in no other food, as brought to your attention before, Cytochrome P-450.
It might interest you to know that all the wild animals when the make at kill, always eat the Liver first, as do African & South American Tribesmen. Now it would take an extra keen bodybuilder or sports person to eat raw liver everyday, unless you nare of the Hannibal Lectur persuasion. Having said that when I worked in the hospita service as a dietician, children suffering from chronic forms of aneamia were fed raw liver everyday. Even cooked liver everyday is too much to ask some people. The obvious alternative to ra liver is Desiccated Liver. This is liver that has had the fat and water removed and then put into tablets. You then have a perfect and super liver product without the hassle of cooking and the need to eat considerable amounts in your daily diet.
Liver also contains Nucleotides, Nucleotides are responsible for DNAand the absorbtion of protein many so called food experts will tell you that it is what you eat that matters, which is quite wrong. It is what you digest which is the crucial factor to create growth, strength, speed and power in your muscles.
Nucleotides increase the size, length and health of the Villi which are the fine tubes that look like hairs on the walls of your stomach and bowles. These tubes are responsible for absorbing the nutrients from your food into your blood stream. It doesnot matter how much food you eat, good or bad, with out Nucleotides doing their work you will not grow. Only certain foods have Nucleotides in abundance, liver and tripe being two of the best, red meats such as beef will provide Nucleotides, but liver is by far the best.
Nucleotides are also responsible for th division of cells within the body for creation of new cells. As each cell is divided, to new ones are created. Without nucleotides this remarkable function which is of utmost importance for bodybuilders and sports people to grow will not happen. So you can see how important Liver either cooked or Desiccated is for your continued muscle growth. Most top bodybuilders and those who want to grow muscle fast will take 25-50 tablets a day, for really good results anything below 12 a day is not worth the effort, but whatever you do don`t neglect to take your Desiccated or cooked Liver as part of your sports nutritional program because Liver is a superfood that will benefit all serious sports people and bodybuilders....
