Supplement Watch rates supplements on five categories (1) Claims that the supplement makes. (2) The theory of the supplement. (3) The Science behind the supplement. (4) Safety of the supplement (5) Value of the supplement. Treehouse only carries a supplement that is rated a Five Star Supplement. Because five star supplements come from various manufactures we carry supplements from many different companies to give you the best choice for that category.

Treehouse will provide its' members with education on proven products to help them have a "customized" supplement plan to complement their training program.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Metabolism is the process of converting food into heat or energy. The rate and efficiency with which the body converts food to energy is referred to as the metabolic rate. A common method of metabolic rate measurement is measuring the amount of oxygen consumed by the individual. Every calorie consumed requires a fixed amount of oxygen to be converted to energy. In short, measuring the rate of oxygen consumption is equivalent to measuring the amount of calories being used. Thus your (RMR) would be the amount of calories you burn at rest during the day.
The Cardio Coach
The Cardio Coach is designed to gather physiological performance data during a graded exercise test. During this test, the body is subjected to gradually increasing exercise levels. The volume of oxygen consumed during these stages is recorded (VO2). The maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can consume is referred to their "VO2 max" and is a measure of their level of fitness. Another valuable piece of information that can be obtained for a VO2 test is the anaerobic threshold (AT). The AT is the level of exercise beyond which lactic acid begins to accumulate in the muscles. When your body is anaerobic lactic acid accumulates in the muscle and the muscles become fatigued and feel sore.
