Endurance Optimizer

Endurance Optimizer

In keeping with VRP's cutting edge tradition in the world of nutritional supplementation, we are proud to introduce Endurance Optimizer.

Endurance Optimizer is designed to promote your body's ability to produce more cellular energy and increase your ability to perform both athletic and everyday tasks faster and with less fatigue. Based on cellular energy research, Endurance Optimizer features malic acid, an essential component in the Kreb's cycle, and magnesium, needed for energy utilization (glycolysis and respiration), ion transport, and protein and nucleic acid synthesis, as well as a host of other metabolic processes. A magnesium deficiency can cause rapid heart rate, muscle spasms (tremor and twitching), listlessness, confusion, nausea and vomiting. The average American's diet contains an estimated 120 mg. of magnesium per 1000 calories. You would have to consume over 3,300 calories daily to get the still-insufficient RDI of magnesium (400 mg.) Endurance Optimizer also includes both di- and tri-methylglycine, recognized for their important role in methyl donor reactions, improved oxygen utilization, and stamina.

Also included in Endurance Optimizer are two standardized ginseng extracts, Korean Ginseng and Siberian Ginseng (also known as Eleutherococcus senticosussame family, different genus). Extensively researched in China and Russia, these herbs are well known for their adaptogenic properties. Ginseng has been given to cosmonauts to combat mental and physical fatigue during space missions. Although ginseng is widely accepted in the Orient for its legendary aphrodisiac properties, research concerning its use for these purposes is still controversial. Several double-blind studies have shown ginseng to significantly increase oxygen utilization and lower blood lactate concentrations during exercise.1 Exactly how ginseng works is still a matter of speculation, but animal studies suggest modification of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland axis.

This formula's ingredients may act synergistically to promote increased endurance, greater energy levels, and improved production of cellular energy. If you feel fatigued, stressed, or if your work or play require greater levels of stamina and energy, you may find Endurance Optimizer enhances your performance in these areas. If you suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, you may find the nutritional support of cellular energy production can make a real difference in your day.
