Popular Supplement Declared Dangerous, Even Deadly
The dietary supplement 1,4-butandediol or BD, which is found in some body-building products, is being blamed for the deaths of 71 people and another 40 deaths are under investigation.
Also used as an industrial solvent, BD is promoted as a natural way to build muscle, improve athletic and sexual performance, reverse baldness and reduce stress, none of which has been proven.
''1,4-butanediol is toxic, addictive and potentially lethal,'' researchers write in the New England Journal of Medicine.
''Although the long-term effects are poorly understood, frequent use of 1,4-butanediol can result in physical and psychological addiction and potentially severe withdrawal syndromes.''
The Food and Drug Administration declared BD to be an unapproved drug and has ordered its removal from store shelves, but extensive marketing and rapid sales continue over the Internet.
BD is found in numerous products such as Thunder Nectar, Amino Flex, Liquid Gold, X-12 and N-Force, to name just a few, and may be listed on the label in one of three forms: tetramethylene glycol, buylene glycol or sucol-B.
Symptoms of overdose include combative behavior, nausea, incontinence, and abrupt loss of consciousness.

For a safe, proven, NSF certified, pharmaceutical grade supplement that has science and certified double-placebo testing, please visit my website at www.candacelea.maxgxl.com. Sports Max can help with recovery, strengthening, and energy and is fast becoming the premier supplement for all athletes, professional, amateur, and hobby. The article below explains its importance, but for the body stomach acids prevent the cells from absorbing glutathione. MaxGXL is a glutathione accelerator that helps the cells produce it naturally. Glutathione supplementation does not work.
Sports Enhancement
Many world-class athletes are discovering the importance of glutathione, which when maintained, gives them the edge over the competition. Increased glutathione levels provides athletes with increased strength and endurance, decreased recovery time from injury, less pain and fatigue and possibly an increase in muscle-promoting activities.
Athletes use glutathione (accelerators) for sports performance and recovery from their strenuous workouts. Up until very recently there was not a efficient way to get glutathione into our bodies other than intravenous (IV).
During workouts, athletes generate free radicals which in turn lead to muscle fatigue and poorer performance. Glutathione neutralizes these radicals and allows our bodies to recover faster.

Anyone heard about this company - www.rivalus.net ? The guy in GNC was talking about it being for athletes only, designed by some doctor in Canada. Good website, and the products look clean (not that the look means anything). They say they are guaranteed to never trip a WADA or IOC test, which is primarily what I'm looking for being an athlete. However, they are expensive, but i'm willing to pay if it's worth it. Any suggestions?

Out Perform Yourself Naturally! With Redox Signaling ASEA!!!
Athletes know that even a small increase in their ability to perform or recover could make the difference in achieving their goals. Conditioned athletes sometimes more than others have the increased need to maintain a healthy chemical balance inside their cells because of the stress they put on their bodies.
In order to research the effect of ASEA on athletes, an independent laboratory tested the performance of a group of healthy athletes in an endurance test (VO2 max) designed to measure oxygen intake, CO2 build-up and heart rate during this particularly strenuous standardized test run on a treadmill.
The results were extraordinary. After only two weeks of ASEA™ supplementation, the athletes experienced a large increase in their VT (Ventilatory Threshold - endurance or the time it takes to hit the runner’s wall), increasing their distance before this carb-burn slump on average over 12%. That means that after only two weeks of supplementing with ASEA™ some athletes increased their power output and endurance over 30%!
Not only did their endurance increase but most of the athletes experienced a measurable reduction in their average heart rate and all of them reported feeling less fatigued and less soreness after strenuous workouts.
ASEA™ is currently working with thousands of athletes; including professionals, semi-professionals, collegiate and amateurs, and every day there are more and more stories of personal records being achieved, races being won, and lifelong goals being met.

Promasil is one of the most popular dietary supplements marketed to athletes and physically-active individuals. Promasil have been recommended to athletes to enhance nitrogen retention and increase muscle mass, to prevent protein catabolism during prolonged exercise, to promote muscle glycogen resynthesis following exercise, and to prevent sports anemia by promoting an increased synthesis of hemoglobin, myoglobin, oxidative enzymes, and mitochondria during aerobic training. This is a very useful product available in market The details about Promasil are available on www.rivalus.net

MPOWER is an engrossing product. The mitochondria that elastic surface each of your cells do spiel a primal portrayal in how your body uses and distributes life but there isn't a lot of technological data to confirm up the effectiveness of this production. MPOWER does hold some base thermogenic ingredients specified as gullible tea and caffeine but we don't see a real effective one like Citrimax comic it works for you the information are forthcoming on www.rivalus.net
