The Golden One

Season Pack of the Ages for Jotunheim Nutrition

Posted on March 3, 2019

The long awaited Season Pack of the Ages is finally at hand. The long wait was due to the fact that we had to figure out a reasonable solution in terms of shipping and packaging.

This package is available in the following countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, United Kingdom. The availability is dependant upon the shipping cost and various toll regulations, for this reason Norway had to be excluded from the list (it saddens me but such is life). It is also available in Sweden, but Swedish customers may add other items as well (and the products can be ordered separately).

The Season Pack of the Ages contains the following products:

1st. Creatine Monohydrate
1st. EAA: Amino-Cola
1st. Zinc of the Ancients
2st. Magnesium of Eternal Vigour
1st. Vitamin D3

This is the only product that can be ordered to non-Swedish destinations. I know shakers are in high demand but due to their size (size is more of a factor than weight in this case) the shipping will become unreasonable and I simply do not want to charge that heavy a shipping fee (the shipping fee would be similar in price to a Legio Gloria t-shirt). If things run as they should, non-Swedish addresses can only order this product. However, if for whatever reason, it should be possible to add other items to the cart; don’t do it, the order will be refunded. The box is filled to the brim with the products mentioned above – so any other products cannot be included.

The point with a Season Pack of the Ages is to invest in a stock of minerals that will last you a bit longer. The first batch is limited to 50 packages, and after that we will see how it goes and look at further options, a coming option that I can think of is to have a Season Pack full of EAAs since these are so very good (not the citrus flavour though, that is merely decent), but we will see how this works out first.

Moreover, I get the question every time I post about Jotunheim Nutrition; when will the products be available in Vinland, the New World? The answer is that I do not know. The only reasonable course of action in this regard is to set up both production and distribution in the United States, and it will probably be a while until that happens, especially considering so many other things are happening personally at the moment – all joyous, but time consuming, things. Although it is hard to give an estimation of time, I hope to make some progress within the coming year.

Lastly, to answer some questions in regard to the garments. The Lionheart Shorts will be back in stock in about two weeks accompanied by a new hoodie design and a new tanktop design. The MMA-shorts will arrive in approximately three weeks. The Handsome Shorts: Mark III will be back later in the spring. The Caledor Gym Tank will also be back later in the spring, but with a new design in the front.

If you have read this far I wish you a productive and joyous week ahead. Spring is officially here so make sure to set the pace high with the training.

New Releases at Jotunheim Nutrition

Posted on February 9, 2019

Before elaborating on the new products I will answer a question that might come up: why write in English if we currently only sell to Sweden? It is because I don’t want to exclude my long-time followers from my various endeavours (and the overwhelming majority of my followers are not Swedish speakers). Moreover, it is not only about the products, I always try to bestow some knowledge and wisdom whenever I write an article or make a video. Lastly, I am still looking at shipping options for special packages (containing vitamins, EAA, creatine and shakers, in addition to a coming PWO-product) that can be sold to other European Union countries.

First among the new releases is this new shaker. It is just like the Valknut Shaker made out of non-toxic plastic (BPA & DEHP-free). It is made in Hungary – which together with Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia make up the Visegrád Group. The Visegrád Group is a bastion of light and reason in an otherwise anti-European EU. There are Hungarians who like to aim criticism against Viktor Orbán, and of course no man is perfect, but I think we can all agree that it is preferable to have a leader who does not work relentlessly to replace his own people.
That being said, the shaker is being sold together with magnesium, which is a supplement that is highly recommended when training hard, if you start experiencing fatigue (not primarily in training but in your everyday life) it might be due to a lack of magnesium. The reason they are sold together (the same reason goes for the Valknut Shaker and zinc) is that it makes more sense in terms of shipping to sell them together.

The next release is another EAA flavour. We aimed for a peach ice-tea style for this product and it turned out really well. It is, just like the Amino-Cola one sweetened with sucralose. For those who prefer stevia as sweetener we do have the EAA – Citrus. However, it bears mentioning that the citrus amino acids do not share the same divine taste as the cola and peach ones (it is still good though – just not as good).

Since the chocolate whey was so popular I thought the only reasonable course of action was to expand the sortiment of whey with another flavour. It tastes similar to the chocolate one but with a touch of orange. Also, for those who prefer whey with stevia we have restocked the popular Whey 80 – Banana. Furthermore, a note on the use of aspartame, I consume it myself and have done so for many years. The reason for this is beautiful in its simplicity, I have concluded it to be safe in moderate amounts, you can read more about research on aspartame here: https://jotunheimnutrition.com/2018/06/11/is-aspartame-dangerous/. This being said you can opt for the banana whey should you feel more comfortable with not consuming aspartame, the choice is yours.

Vitamin D3 is a supplement I have always spoken warmly of. The reason it was not among the first releases was simply due to the fact that it was summer then (supplementing with vitamin D3 is redundant if you get enough sunlight).

In regard to the coming PWO-product it will be out in about two months or so. I will be quite clear that it is only supposed to be taken once a month – every full moon to be more precise. I do not recommend using PWO-products prior to every session, I rarely use them myself (the same goes for energy drinks) a few of each every year on certain occasions. The best pre-work out – or rather the best preparations for a good session consists of getting in an adequate amount of sleep and adhering to a good diet.

Lastly, and this is for all Swedish gentlemen in Uppland – head over to our Instagram account for an announcement of a glorious activity taking place next week.
