  • Lou Cookson - Winner at Ironman Canada


    I wanted to write and thank you for helping me win the M55-59 age bracket at Ironman Canada on August 28th.

    I have been using MAP for the past year to speed my recovery after workouts but I decided to do something different for this Ironman Canada race. I decided to use MAP at regular intervals and the sports drink and gels they were handing out at the aid stations rather then carrying three bottles of a sports drink that contained protein with me.


    Athletes and Inflammation: Is it in you?


    Yes! Hard workouts cause inflammation in the body. See this link from an article published in a mainstream medical journal on this subject. See the article

    To cope with inflammation the body needs several things.

    • Very high quality protein to heal things up and add new tissue so there is a positive training effect.
    • Antioxidants to quell the free radicals generated.
    • Multivitamins and minerals to replace what was used or lost during the workout.
    • Detox agents to help the body rid itself of the petrochemicals, lead, mercury, dioxins, PCB’s, chemicals (like chlorine and others), and pesticides that you accumulated during the day which in themselves generate free radicals and increase inflammation.
    • Enzymes to clean up the debris caused by the workouts and free radical inflammation.
    • NO pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil, Motrin, etc. because they block the healing cycles and result in poor healing of bone, tendon and cartilage. I.E. don’t take these drugs.


    Cleanse the Toxins Out, Increase Performance


    Our food, water and air contain large amounts of pollutants that easily enter our bodies.

    Chemicals in detergents, shampoos, deodorants, cosmetics and lotions enter through the skin. Small particles of air born pollutants enter our lungs. Food with chemicals, artificial sweeteners, pesticides, and heavy metals easily passes our intestines to invade us.

    To make sure that the toxins come out and do not get hung up in the body use Body Detox. 1- 8 sprays are needed per day.

    This product nourishes the intestinal cells, improves immune function, and binds heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides. This is taken at bedtime. Begin with 1 spray and increase gradually to a total of eight sprays.


    Leslie Myers - Winner at Lake Placid 2005


    Thank you for bringing such a wonderful product to the market. 2005 has been a very successful year for me in triathlon. I have won my age group in three large races and had relative success in early season races when I was just doing them for fun.

    I started taking MAP in the summer of 2004. I noticed right away that I was able to recover from hard training workouts and races. Best of all...

    Off Season Tips

    By, Kim Loeffler
    For many athletes, the “off- season” referred to as the cold, dark, lazy months of November through January. While a 3-4 week break from training can be advantageous mentally and physically, too many athletes stretch this “off- season” way too long. Below are some tips to help you get the most out of your base phase and ultimately, your entire race season.

    Speed Work: Include a weekly speed work session in each sport. Keep the intervals short, fast, and controlled with full recovery. The purpose is to improve your neuromuscular coordination, economy, and flexibility. For example; swim fast 25s, include 20-30 second strides into your aerobic runs, and perform several 1 minute high cadence spin ups on the bike.

    Efficiency: Take advantage of this time to improve your technique and efficiency in each sport. For swimming, consider getting some underwater stroke analysis and perform drills that specifically address your main area of weakness. For running, include running drills and short strides.
