Will, what brand of creatine are you using in the mean time? I need a new source, my nutrition shop folded because of the lock down.
Currently, brand I'm using is Jarrow. They use Creapure as source, which is the only creatine I use/recommend and will use in AlphaJoe. Creapure is German made, all the rest are made in China. See also:Quote:

Thanks Will! Have it inbound.
Yes, it's amazing how much of our supplements come from the Chi-Comms. I do my best to stay away from it, but...
Hopefully you get alphajoe up and running. I can only imagine the supply chain issues going on right now. Good luck. I'll order when it's available.
Looking at a few more weeks hopefully.Quote:

For those on the list, available exclusively to them as of 10am EST today. Open to GP starting Monday. Did a limited 500 bottle run, so hopefully there's product on Monday. I will put in another larger order #2 asap, but there's a lot of things happening on the supply side currently that's going to make for some tough times. Started a separate thread on that topic HERE.
FYI, Alpha Joe is FINALLY for sale to the public HERE.

Product is as advertised. I am through the first 1/2 jar and love it. Toss in a couple flakes of coconut oil and it literally is the bomb.
Good job Will! I hope this works out for you. I will be a repeat customer.
Good to know my brother! You know I would not steer ye wrong. Please leave a review on FB page linked above if you are on that platform. I feel it would be of particular benefit to the mil and LE community.Quote:

All, this stuff is awesome. You don't realize how good this product truly is until the supply chain gets shut down and you have to go without for a while. I feel like a junkie looking for a fix. Eagerly awaiting the new shipment!!!
Yes Will, I've seen your updates. Don't give up!!!
You guys really need to try Alpha Joe.
I REALLY appreciate the support there. It's been a royal PITA having this delay due these modern times. Just got word today, 1000 bottle ship tomorrow, so all back orders will be fulfilled shortly.Quote:

Good News for Coffee Lovers: Daily Coffee May Benefit the Heart
Drinking two to three cups a day was associated with greatest heart benefits
Mar 24, 2022
WASHINGTON (Mar 24, 2022) -
Drinking coffee—particularly two to three cups a day—is not only associated with a lower risk of heart disease and dangerous heart rhythms but also with living longer, according to studies being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session. These trends held true for both people with and without cardiovascular disease. Researchers said the analyses—the largest to look at coffee’s potential role in heart disease and death—provide reassurance that coffee isn’t tied to new or worsening heart disease and may actually be heart protective.
“Because coffee can quicken heart rate, some people worry that drinking it could trigger or worsen certain heart issues. This is where general medical advice to stop drinking coffee may come from. But our data suggest that daily coffee intake shouldn’t be discouraged, but rather included as a part of a healthy diet for people with and without heart disease,” said Peter M. Kistler, MD, professor and head of arrhythmia research at the Alfred Hospital and Baker Heart Institute in Melbourne, Australia, and the study’s senior author. “We found coffee drinking had either a neutral effect—meaning that it did no harm—or was associated with benefits to heart health.”

I often say “there’s no sunshine without coffee.” A recent meta-analysis looked at coffee, caffeine (which are not interchangeable topics BTW…) as well as tea, and depressive symptoms. They authors concluded “According to our findings, coffee and dietary caffeine may have a protective effect against the development of depression. However, no evidence suggesting a link between tea consumption and reduced depressive symptoms has been found. Therefore, further longitudinal studies are needed to substantiate the causal relationship between coffee, tea, and caffeine and the risk of depression.”
So, coffee and caffeine appear to be beneficial to reducing depression, while tea does not. I have posted the abstract below, and a link to the full paper below for those who want to get the details. My goal with Alpha Joe Coffee Booster was to further enhance the mood and cognitive benefits of coffee with three key targeted ingredients data suggests should be of benefit to body and mind and “take your coffee to an 11!” as the motto goes.
Association between dietary caffeine, coffee, and tea consumption and depressive symptoms in adults: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of observational studies
Front Nutr. 2023; 10: 1051444
Abstract
Background
Recent studies have reported an association between dietary caffeine intake (coffee and tea) and the presence of depressive symptoms. However, the findings are not conclusive.
Purpose
This study aimed to examine the correlation between the consumption of dietary caffeine (coffee and tea) and the presence of depressive symptoms in adults.
Methods
PubMed and Scopus databases were searched until December 2021. Two investigators analyzed data from identified studies and rated the quality of the evidence using the GRADE approach. Using the random-effects models, we estimated the relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We also modeled the dose-response associations through a one-stage, weighted mixed-effects meta-analysis.
Results
A total of 29 eligible studies included a total of 422,586 participants. On comparing the highest with the lowest category in cohort studies, we identified an inverse association between the intake of coffee and depressive symptoms (RR: 0.89, 95%CI: 0.82–0.95; I2 = 63.7%, GRADE = low). There was a 4% reduction in the risk of depression associated with an increase in coffee intake of 240 ml/day (RR: 0.96, 95%CI: 0.95, 0.98; I2 = 22.7%). By comparing the highest category with the lowest category in cohort studies, we discovered that caffeine intake was inversely associated with depressive symptoms (RR: 0.86, 95%CI: 0.79, 0.93; I2 = 0.0%, GRADE = moderate). Based on our data analysis, no correlation exists between tea consumption and depressive symptoms.
Conclusion
According to our findings, coffee and dietary caffeine may have a protective effect against the development of depression. However, no evidence suggesting a link between tea consumption and reduced depressive symptoms has been found. Therefore, further longitudinal studies are needed to substantiate the causal relationship between coffee, tea, and caffeine and the risk of depression.

If you're using AJ and dig it, please leave a review at TP site.
Will. I'm an AJ junkie... Is more than one scoop a day safe? I mean maybe 1.5 - 2 scoops a day on high coffee days? On some days I get by with 16 ounces of coffee... Some days I need 32. I've been afraid to dump in another scoop on refills.
To all of you java junkies out there, AJ is worth it. I've been using for well over a year now. I'd absolutely have to make my own lab if Will ever stopped selling this stuff. He posts the recipie, but there's no way I could make it as good for the same cost. Try it...
I do 1-2 scoops depending on mood, etc, and no issues. Three ingredients are very safe all around. 10 years +, I gave away the recipe to anyone who wanted to make it themselves and still do.Quote:

"A Review on the Protective Effects of Honey against Metabolic Syndrome"
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of diseases comprising of obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. There are numerous pre-clinical as well as human studies reporting the protective effects of honey against MetS. Honey is a nutritional food low in glycemic index. Honey intake reduces blood sugar levels and prevents excessive weight gain. It also improves lipid metabolism by reducing total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which leads to decreased risk of atherogenesis. In addition, honey enhances insulin sensitivity that further stabilizes blood glucose levels and protects the pancreas from overstimulation brought on by insulin resistance. Furthermore, antioxidative properties of honey help in reducing oxidative stress, which is one of the central mechanisms in MetS. Lastly, honey protects the vasculature from endothelial dysfunction and remodelling. Therefore, there is a strong potential for honey supplementation to be integrated into the management of MetS, both as preventive as well as adjunct therapeutic agents.

"From cup to clock: exploring coffee's role in slowing down biological aging"
Abstract
Background: Previous research has proposed that coffee consumption may have potential health benefits, yet the effect of coffee on one's biological age has not been determined to date. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of coffee drinking on biological aging. Methods: Participants were chosen from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and had to meet the selection criteria. Coffee consumption was evaluated through two 24-hour dietary questionnaires. Biological age was measured using both the PhenoAge and KDM-BA algorithms. Multiple linear and logistic regression models were adopted to analyze the association of coffee consumption with biological aging. Results: A total of 13 384 participants with an average daily coffee consumption of 1.73 cups were included.
Participants with higher coffee consumption tended to be older, male, non-Hispanic white; had a higher educational level beyond high school; were more likely to be married; had better financial status; and were less likely to smoke or engage in excessive drinking. These individuals with higher coffee consumption exhibited a younger biological age in relation to their chronological age, as indicated by lower mean advancements in PhenoAge and KDM-BA scores. Furthermore, coffee intake was found to be inversely related to PhenoAge and KDM-BA progressions, as well as to the chances of accelerated biological aging, both in unadjusted and adjusted models. These associations remained consistent across all age and gender groups. Additionally, some heterogeneity was also observed among body mass index and physical activity categories.
Conclusions: Coffee drinking was inversely related to biological age advancements and the likelihood of accelerated biological aging. Moderate coffee consumption may offer substantial benefits in reducing biological aging.
