Green tomato extract

please read this and give your guys views and opinion.....


from Muscle and Fitness
IF MUSCLE MASS is your primary goal--and let's be honest, what other goal is there?--then you might want to go green. By green, we mean green tomato extract (GTE).

In a recent unpublished study, male athletes who consumed just 6 mcg of GTE per day for six weeks gained 1 inch on their arms as compared to individuals in the placebo group, who saw almost no improvement. The GTE group also realized two times greater strength gains than the placebo group on the bench press and three times greater strength gains on the leg press.

GTE works by increasing the number of blood vessels that supply muscle tissue, which allows more blood to reach muscles, providing them more oxygen, nutrients and anabolic hormones. The end product is greater muscle growth and strength gains.

Currently, GTE is available only in Endothil-CR, which you can find at GNC or www.endothil.com

What ive also read is that this stuff is given to people with muscle injuries
and for it to really work proply you have to go beyond just training to break the muscle down , you have to really hammer the muscle!

anybody have personal experience with this product?

Never heard of it but worth looking into. Based on the substance's mechanism, vasodilators should give the same results, ie allowing more oxygen, hormones and nutrients etc to reach the muscles

its been out for some time now.but seems that its only become more popular as of late.And i read some of the forums on bb.com / elitefitness etc. and the guys are pretty impressed with it.I wonder why the trade name endothil?

Sounds really interesting, but with most of those articles it can just be product hype. Why would only this 1 company have it and why the article only now? Sounds fishy too me...

after having a look i see that quite a few companies in the states are making this type of product.Id like to try it and see what its all bout.
just cant get the stuff locally.have to order it from bb.com
and me have no credit card:(

When the compound was first studied it was found to modify the cells that line the interior of blood vessels, i.e. the endothelial cells (do you remember this from school biology?) and hence the trade name ENDOTHIL, which must have been derived from the word endothelium

aaaaaah yes i recall reading that somewhere!!!i really wonder why there hasnt really been much hype bout it.mmmmmm

I dont know how much i would trust ordering over the next... mmmm

Ok did some reading into this and all I can say is if you have cancer or are prone to various cancers i wouldn't touch the stuff. Green tomato extract plays a role in angiogenesis which is the formation of blood vessels. Angiogenesis also plays a role in cancer as tumours use this process to supply nutrients etc that are present in the blood to the tumour. By doing so, less nutrients are provided to surrounding tissues and allows for tumours to increase in size and later metastasize (move through the body to new locations) and are termed malignant
