It's called Dr. Sinatra's. It's made from sustainable squid derived oil called calamarine and has some B complex vitamins, CoQ10, and L-Carnitine. Kind of a heart centric multi-supplement I do like the Carlsson liquid oil too.
Thanks for the info!

I'm becoming less of a fan of protein powders. A lot of brands contain sucralose, which is a sugar replacement, and I think that might be disagreeing with me.
I'd be inclined to pull a Mclaincausey, and get protein from wholefoods, perhaps using a scoop or two of whey mixed with milk post workout.
I agree with Appfaff about there being no magic bullets, and appreciate his further insights.

Funny thing about sweet flavors: I think they can trick your body into a hormonal response identical to the real deal. That's a problem. I was reading about that somewhere, it's one reason that diet sodas aren't so great. I am fortunate in that I don't have a huge sweet tooth so avoiding sweaes isn't hard for me.

I believe Mcl is correct - as far as I can remember - artificial sweeteners - as to my understanding, can elicit an insulin release similar to actual sweeteners - the REALLY bad thing that there are no "calories" for the body to process thru this release and forcefully stores any access sugars already present in the body, turning them Into stored fat.
Someone explained that to me a few years ago and it stuck with me - you'd prob have to fact check my explanation though lol

Yeah, that's what insulin does–it doesn't make blood sugar go away, it converts it into fat. That's why mainstream diabetic recommendations are so ridiculous: eat whole grains, which have a high glycemic index except for barley and a few other examples, and just take insulin to regulate your blood sugar. This is a recipe for obesity and obesity related illness. What they should be recommending is to each foods which don't make your blood sugar spike (which have a negligible glycemic load).

I guess the question needs to be framed with each individual sweetener, but I found one on Splenda: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/261179.php

First day back after some time off always leaves my hamstrings feeling destroyed. But in a good way. I think.

Haha Yes! Hamstrings are sore as hell in a good way

Trying to work a day or two of running into the normal gym routine. Didn't used to care for it and still don't
And I still firmly believe the 'anybody can run a marathon after training' thing is a crock!Also, I believe Stevia doesn't have the same insulin trigger as the other fake sugars.

Running, especially Short (100-800m) interval repeats are extremely productive as a supplement to a Strength training regimen. People that Lift Heavy and Run fast are often the fittest people.
Ironically, I knew someone that ran a marathon off nothing except 3-4 Mile training runs (2x a week) and a LOT of interval / strength training. He didn't finish very fast, but finished and got the free beer and medal afterwards lol
