Enerex Products I use and their Benefits

SUPER ROYAL JELLY
Brendan added Enerex's new SUPER ROYAL JELLY to his nutritional regime about the end of March 2003. "The SUPER ROYAL JELLY helps me sustain my energy levels through out the day without sugar or caffeine. It has an energizing yet calming effect similar to green tea. It especially helps my energy level to remain high towards the end of a long workout. Also, it facilitates quicker recovery, allowing me to train hard again sooner."…. "I do feel as though the SUPER ROYAL JELLY has helped. My training has been very conservative with the intention of starting the season a bit later than usual so I'll still be fresh for some bigger races in the fall. With a conservative approach to my training early, I really didn't expect to be in such good shape, so I have to look at other factors such as the SUPER ROYAL JELLY that I started taking about six weeks ago." "I just wanted to let you know that I had my body fat percentage tested the other day. It's at its lowest ever: 5.6%, that's down about 2.5% since this time last year. I think the SUPER ROYAL JELLY is partly responsible for the drop, I've been getting leaner since I started taking it."

SONA
SONA is a balanced multi vitamin and mineral tablet. Unlike the traditional one-a-day multi tablet, SONA insures that the level of water-soluble nutrients remain at a constant level throughout the day. This can only be properly achieved with divided doses, as is the protocol for taking SONA - one tablet with each meal. Digestive enzymes are imperative for vitamins and minerals in supplemental form to be absorbed - SONA provides the correct ratio.

During times of heavy training the immune system becomes suppressed, making viral infection more prone. The SONA formula helps to keep the immune system strong and resilient, greatly reducing the chances of sickness. I have found this to be true based on my experience; I haven't had a cold since I started taking SONA even though my training has remained at a high level.

GAMMA E, BIO C-500 & GRAPE SEED GREEN TEA
I take a combination of these powerful antioxidants to counteract the oxidization of heavy aerobic exercise. During intense cardiovascular training my body is subject to a larger amount of free radical damage. The antioxidants in GAMMA E, BIO C-500, GRAPE SEED GREEN TEA reduce the numbers of free radical in my blood to ensure optimal health.

ULTIMATE SOYA and SOYA Rx
I take 1 ½ scoops of the ULTIMATE SOYA daily to facilitate proper recovery by ensuring that my protein needs are met. SOYA Rx is perfect for drinking on long rides and also before workouts, it provides stable energy - no sugar crash. Because SOYA Rx is a liquid form it digests more efficiently than solid food, this leads to better performance since the blood that does not need to aid in digestion can remain in the working extremities - delivering oxygen were needed. I usually mix SOYA Rx with GREENS Rx once a day at the same time I take a HERBAL Rx tablet; this combination is the best I have found so far for sustained energy.

-My Training Philosophy parallels Enerex's Nutritional Philosophy

True health and performance gains take time to obtain; there are no magic shortcuts. Consistency and patience are the keys to success for anything worth doing. In my training I don't get caught up in "quick fixes"- the latest and greatest fast gain theories that just don't hold water. I simply put in the work, recover from it and do it again. The key is recovery, the sooner full recovery has occurred the sooner training can resume - this is what facilitates improvement. Apart from rest, and equally as important, is nutrition. Enerex is a company built on science, with consistent supplementation with the SONA formula dietary health will be optimized. "Optimum Health" will reduce recovery time between workouts - serious athletes know this is what consistent, long term athletic success is built on. Because my career depends on my athletic performance I can't afford to get sick or to postpone workouts due to poor recovery.

question
I heard that whey protein has the highest biological value of any protein, therefore is the best source for athletes, is this true?

"Not really, whey protein has the highest biological value for weaning baby rats. SOYA Rx is perfect for drinking during training."
