ASEA Increases Cycling Endurance and More!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 11, 2012 -- Today’s competitive and amateur cyclists are constantly pushing themselves to achieve higher levels of performance. One measure of athletic improvement is an increase in time to ventilatory threshold (VO2 Max) – time elapsed before an athlete hits the runner’s wall.

After cycling with ever increasing intensity, respiration increases to a point and then plateaus. The runner’s wall is when an athlete’s ability to ventilate slows down and the athlete is not physically able to overcome these physiological changes. In other words, ventilation, or the process of gas entering or exiting the lungs, becomes more and more difficult.

Extending the time that it takes an athlete to reach ventilatory threshold ensures greater athletic endurance before hitting the wall. At high levels of athletic competition, a small increase in ventilatory threshold can mean the difference between first place and last.

So how does a cyclist increase the time before they hit the runner’s wall?

Redox Signaling & Perfectly Balanced Sets of Reactive Molecules

Redox Signaling is a burgeoning scientific field on a global scale with an impressive array of recent research advances. Only recently have ASEA scientists been able to produce stable mixtures of these Redox Signaling molecules outside living cells.

ASEA, the original and only Redox Signaling product available today, provides the body with two perfectly balanced sets of reactive molecules – the same molecules produced naturally by the mitochondria in every cell of the body. These vitally important molecules support the production of the ATP energy that fuels our cells, help activate antioxidants, minimize cellular damage, enhance cellular communication, and speed the healing response – all functions critical to athletic performance, endurance and recovery.

ASEA’s clinical trials and testimonials of top athletes are demonstrating that drinking ASEA can assist high-performance athletes in reaching their best VO2 max rate as well as aid in recovery. None of the athletes below are paid for their endorsement of the product.

ASEA has been reviewed by Road Bike Action Magazine, which conducted a three-month trial of the product.

“We could pedal harder longer and recover from repeated 100-percent efforts in ridiculously short intervals,” says R. Cunningham, technical editor for Road Bike Action Magazine. “ASEA quietly powers up the muscles, dramatically reducing recovery times after over-the-top efforts, and it enables you to push precariously close to the anaerobic threshold for prolonged periods of time,” says Cunningham.

“Typically, ASEA users can go hard over and over again and count on a full recovery within a few minutes. In addition, it is possible to push harder on the pedals for extended periods without going anaerobic,” concluded Cunningham.

Josh Horowitz is a cycling coach and recently retired from professional racing and the team he formed, Wonderful Pistachios.

“On June 6, 2010 I hit the pavement with 20 years of training behind me and ASEA fueling my body to participate in the 156-mile Philadelphia International Championship Bike Race.” Josh drank ASEA in the weeks prior to the event. “It was literally the best day I have ever had on the bike.”

Once Horowitz saw that ASEA gave him a competitive advantage, he wanted to share the product with his cycling team. “ASEA is the only supplement that I have ever taken that I consider absolutely indispensible. When I say indispensible I mean that literally. Having used it for almost a year I can honestly say that I would not ride without it. Yeah, it’s that good.”

“In the cycling world there are different supplements being pushed on you all the time, so I was met with a lot of skepticism,” said Horowitz. “After some coaxing, my Wonderful Pistachios team started drinking ASEA and experiencing its athletic benefits. ASEA is a major factor in the team’s performance.”

Rich Roll is an ultra-endurance athlete unlike any other. Rated one of “Men’s Fitness” Magazine’s 25 fittest men in the country, he has completed physical feats that border on the physically impossible. In 2008 he competed in his first Ultra-man and finished in the top ten males. Then in 2010 he completed the EPIC 5, a 5 day, 5 Ironman challenge in the islands of Hawaii.

Rich had this to say about ASEA, “With ASEA my training kicked into high gear. I was recovering rapidly between workouts, despite a very heavy load averaging around 20-25 hours per week, particularly in the lead up to EPIC5. I did not get sick, injured or overly fatigued. I just got stronger. My power on the bike continued to escalate, and I did not experience the weariness I had suffered this same month of training the year prior. The gains exceeded what I anticipated, and this was reflected in my periodic lactate tests, which give me an accurate window into my true physical condition. With ASEA I believe I have found a product I can stand behind 100%... I feel I can wholeheartedly and proudly endorse this product – my first formal endorsement of a nutritional product as an athlete.

Jonathan Hollar, an Ironman triathlete who added ASEA to his training regimen before a major Olympic duathlon race, said, “The last time I completed an Olympic duathlon my finish time was 2:55:00. That day it was 2:08:55! I came in second place overall. In previous races I never broke the top 100! I recommend ASEA to every person I meet!”

James Lawrence, Ironman athlete, attributes ASEA to helping him break the world record for completing the highest number of Half Ironman Triathalons (Ironman 70.3s) in one year. When he contacted Guinness World Records, they informed him that the old record was 16, but that they would only accept a new record of 20 or higher.

An Ironman 70.3 consists of a 1.2-mile swim, followed by a 56-mile bike ride, followed by a 13.1-mile run. To complete 20 of these in one year, Lawrence would need to finish an Ironman 70.3 every two weeks.

In just 30 weeks, averaging one race every 9-10 days, Lawrence broke the world record, completing 22 Ironman 70.3 races.

"ASEA was definitely instrumental in my recovery," he says. "It gave me every advantage that I needed to break this record. I was scared to stop drinking ASEA while attempting this quest!"

“When I was introduced to ASEA, I dismissed the claims,” Lawrence says. “I went to a sports clinic and was tested and then went on the product for six weeks. I returned and did the same test. I was able to run faster on a steeper incline with a lower heart rate. ASEA increased my body’s natural ability to process oxygen, allowing me to get as close as possible to my maximum VO2 rate.”

“Clinical data doesn’t lie,” said Lawrence. “I knew that ASEA was something that I had to have to help me accomplish my goals. ASEA helps me to recover quickly and train more on short weeks before events. With this product I get back on my feet and go out and kill it again. I wouldn’t want to be without ASEA. I think my performance would drop and I would be risking injury.”

Anthony Galvin, professional cyclist and current California Masters State Criterium Champion – “One of the things about criterium racing that makes it unique is that it demands that you put out an extremely hard anaerobic effort and then recover and do it again and again. Three weeks prior to a race I had a horrible crash that put me in bed and I couldn’t do anything. I started taking ASEA twice a day and that was all I could do leading up to the race. I won the race for the fourth year in a row. ASEA is a key part of my protocol moving forward,” says Galvin.

Cody Waite has always loved bikes and racing them even more so. Throughout his life Cody has pursued his goals in racing and mountain biking. Over the last several he has been racing in what is called XTERRA, an off-road version of the Ironman challenge. The race includes a 1.5 km swim, 30 km mountain bike race, and an 11 km trail run. To help him prepare for these grueling races, Cody has been using ASEA.

Cody said this about ASEA, “One thing is kind of just day-to-day general health. I don't have any kind of illnesses or that sort of thing. But typically I would expect to get sick with like a cold, usually it was about twice a year. What’s really interesting is over the last year and a half I haven't had anything like that. In terms of exercise and training we're talking 2 to maybe 3 beats per minute difference, which is not a huge difference, but over the course of a multi-hour endurance event, it actually can make a decent amount of difference in terms of energy savings and kind of extending how fast you can run over that set time.”

Clinical Trial

Dr. Gary L. Samuelson, Ph.D., a leading Redox Signaling scientist, conducted a clinical trial exploring ASEA’s effects on athletic endurance. Dr. Samuelson tested athletic endurance, time to ventilatory threshold and the VO2 max rate of 17 competitive athletes over a period of two weeks. The athletes drank ASEA daily and their levels were closely monitored.

The group averaged a 12 percent increase in their time to ventilatory threshold, meaning they were able to expend energy and effort 12 percent longer before they hit the runner’s wall.

The results of Dr. Samuelson’s trial also concluded, “Based on the data, about 70 percent of athletes who try ASEA should experience the ability to maintain a higher power output without crossing the ventilatory threshold… allowing them to go longer at the same power burn or to operate at a higher power burn than possible before drinking ASEA.”

Several athletes also experienced an increase in power output and endurance of more than 30 percent. Lower average heart rates and less soreness and fatigue were also reported.
