Testimonials/ Consumer ExperienceDavid Buzzelli, Rock Climber/Cyclist/Endurance Athlete - USA I've been using Peptopro for six months now and have to say that it's, by far, this single best food/supplement I've ever tried! As a rock climber, I'm amazed at the sustained energy it gives me and the super quick recovery I'm able to make. Since using Peptopro I've also noticed gains in strength. Having turned 40 recently, I had a goal of climbing a V10 boulder problem. Well, my improvement was so great that I skipped V10, 11 and 12 and went straight to climbing V13! On the cardio side of things I've experienced the same gains. My recovery times are amazingly quick. So much so that I have to force rest days. I've been keeping a log of my workouts and have noticed that I'm now pedaling 2 gears harder up the same hills I've been riding for years! Crazy! I add it to my carbo drink and have absolutely no stomach issues. Amazing! If I could only have one food/supplement, this would be it! Vassilis Iliopoulos, Bodybuilder - Belgium I have used PeptoPro for one year for bodybuilding .Actually I use 20 gr PeptoPro during workout with carbohydrates and bcaa, training is awesome : less fatigue which mean more reps and performances and recovery very faster than without PeptoPro. Janneke van der Meulen, Cyclist - The Netherlands Late Friday evening, the evening before the race, the day on which I would normally have rested, I had to cycle 30km into a raging headwind against my will. Early the next day was the qualifier for the 2km race. I slept very little due to the early start (5:15am) and the nerves brought on by the prospect of racing. I had to dig deep but Carlyn and I managed to gain a place for the final. In the final I had to dig even deeper, this I can tell by the annoying cough which I have still have three days after the race. We won the race and on Sunday's agenda was a 90km bike ride. Yet again I had to get up ridiculously early and had much less sleep than I would have liked/needed. During all these exertions I had peptopro in my drinks bottle so that during and straight after training/racing my body could recover. Normally I drink whey-protein shakes, but still I'm completely exhausted the Monday after a racing weekend from all the stress/nerves, the lack of sleep and the hard intensity of racing, but now I feel refreshed and full of energy looking forward to tonight's training! Mr L. Stokes Just a quick update on how I have got on with my first 500g bag. I am totally unconvinced by the new "pulsing" protocol, and have ditched it. I think there is some merit in a pulse first thing in the morning, but I actually lost size pulsing the rest of the day. I don't blame this on the product though, I blame it on trying to overcomplicate the situation and ending up with fewer calories than I needed. So having ditched that approach I moved the Peptopro to post workout, which has been a revelation. I blend a scoop of Peptopro (however much that is, I would also like to know how that translates to grams) with 50g of dextrose, a teaspoon of leucine and a level teaspoon of cranberry flavouring. This has not only increased my recovery massively but it also tastes great. I have stuck up a review on the Peptopro page, but to reiterate it tastes really refreshing. Every other protein or pre-blended formula I have used has a kind of thick and creamy texture. This blend is light, refreshing and sharp, something I actually want to drink post workout. Marleen Veldhuis, Swimmer (Gold medal winner, Beijing Olympics, 2008) - The Netherlands Marleen Veldhuis is a fervent supporter of the benefits delivered by PeptoPro, “I have used PeptoPro® for many years. Consuming it directly after intense training and races, PeptoPro improves my recovery so I can perform better during my next training session and in my next competitive race. It gives me the extra power I need. I firmly believe that PeptoPro played a key role in my Gold medal win in Beijing.” Erik van Putten, Sportphysiotherapist - The Netherlands Based on my own experience I recommend every athlete to use PeptoPro in his or her training regime. My practice is based in Leiden ( www.sportfysioleiden.nl). It is an Olympic physiotherapy support center for the The Hague area. As a tennis addict I have developed an in-balance in my shoulder over time. To compensate the shoulder muscles (especially the Cuff) I need to work harder and suffer as a result. In the past I would have to deal with a very stiff shoulder the next day. Especially in my profession, with hours of manual treatment every day, that is a great discomfort. When I was supporting the Dutch Olympic bob sleigh team in their preparation for the Vancouver games, I discovered PeptoPro. The athletes were using PeptoPro which was provided by the Dutch Olympic Committee for faster recovery. I started to use PeptoPro myself during my workouts in the gym as I was recovering from my shoulder injury. Afterwards I continued to use PeptoPro before, during and after tennis games, which to my surprise resulted in a noticeable difference: Less stiffness in my shoulder the following day! PeptoPro seems to aid my muscles to a more complete recovery. I have tried and tested its effect in practice by elimination (again a stiff shoulder when I didn’t have PeptoPro in my drinking bottle). As a result PeptoPro has become part of my essential kit. It has allowed me to increase the frequency of my training and load during exercise and game. Hence I recommend patients to use PeptoPro during an intense revalidation. Both patients and athletes, when taking a tub of Born Recovery with PeptoPro home, come back as satisfied users. It is no coincidence that every athlete with an A or B classification can get this product through Dutch Olympic Committee. I believe however that PeptoPro is beneficial for every sports enthusiast. As a serving suggestion finally I can recommend to drink PeptoPro as a blend with milk, yoghurt and banana. You will definitely enjoy it before and after training. Sven Coster and Kalle Coster, sailing - The Netherlands The brothers Sven and Kalle Coster of Team Coster are multiple Dutch champions, were runners up in the recent World Championship in Cascais, Portugal, and went on to win the Open Dutch Championships in Medemblik in October 2007. Beijing will be their second Olympic Games after what was already a successful first appearance in Athens 2004.
Rens Blom, Polevault (World champion 2005, Helsinki) - The Netherlands "Because of the use of PeptoPro I have been able to intensify my training schedule. The recovery develops faster and my energy level is much higher during the day. Because of that PeptoPro has provided a major contribution to winning the World Championship. Since I use PeptoPro I suffer less from muscle pain. This benefits in particular to the quality of the training. I have noticed that quality is most important during training. Because of the use of PeptoPro I am able to maintain the quality in spite of the heavy workouts. This combination has led me to the world title. Since I use PeptoPro I have noticed that my muscles recover faster. I suffer less from fatigue as a result of which I can perform better. The product certainly contributed to the success at the World Championship." Hinkelien Schreuder, swimming - The Netherlands "I frequently use PeptoPro. Especially after very heavy exercises like power training, but also during training camps when I make extra hours of training. I really notice the effect. I feel I recover more quickly and suffer less muscle aches, and this allows me to perform optimally during the next training session!" Remona Fransen, heptathlon - The Netherlands "Since the previous outdoor season I have been started to use PeptoPro during and after my training and competitions. After a year with injures it was difficult to find my training rhythm. PeptoPro helped me in 2008 finding training rhythm. All my trainings sessions went easier and more important my body could handle it again. Now in the current winter season, where I have about 8-9 training sessions in a week, the recovering of my body is the most important. Every training needs to be of high quality, that’s only possible when I am recovered from the previous training. That’s why I cannot miss PeptoPro in my sport case!" Sjoerd Hamburger, rowing (sculls) - The Netherlands "I use PeptoPro almost daily. I use it to bridge the gap between the end of my training session and the next meal. Immediately after exercising I use PeptoPro and I’m ready to go until the next sandwiches, potatoes or pasta. I also believe it enhances my recovery. PeptoPro is an integral part of my daily routine. I feel good about the product and with it, I’m going for Gold!" Udo Messack, marathon runner - The Netherlands Nowadays I use Born Carbo Energy Superior with PeptoPro® when I go for a run. You can say that it has become an addiction. It tastes very good and I run like never before! The last 6 weekends I have done a 30 km run on top of my usual training routine. I just don't seem to get worn out any longer ;-)). When I ran out of my Born I tried something else which felt different….very different……I have just ordered another 6 tins of the one and only Born Carbo Energy with PeptoPro® to be safe for the next 6 weeks, YES!! Lada Kozlíková, cyclist - Czech Republic “I’ve tested PROFIdrinX at track races. I like its ease of preparation. The powder dissolves perfectly. It’s tasty, and it seems to me personally that it acts similarly to a weight gainer. It replenishes everything the body burns up during performance and what’s more it can be used while training and competing which is excellent especially for rides lasting several hours.” Eva Ryšavá and Soňa Nováková, beach volleyballers - Czech Republic “We’ve started training hard again after a long maternity leave, and for this we need quality regeneration. Regeneration has improved a lot during testing of PROFIdrinX , and that means we can train more.” Jaroslav Bába, athlete - Czech Republic “After a long period of injury I was afraid a return to the world’s elite would no longer be a real prospect. Fortunately, hard training and proper nutrition have paid off. I tested PROFIdrinX during preparations for the world indoor championships at Valencia, and I can only recommend to anyone. It accelerates regeneration and makes the training more effective.” Jiří Ježek, cyclist - Czech Republic “I tested PROFIdrinX at the winter preparations in Australia and Lanzarote. I always cover plenty of kilometres in this season, and the body gets very tired. For regeneration I always use Regener, but with added PROFIdrinX the regeneration period has been dramatically shortened. It’s now a firm part of my list of sports nutrition supplements.” Julie B. Hirsch, Marathon Runner - USA "Hooked on RAD! "I picked up some of your RAD Endurance powder samples containing the performance protein PeptoPro. I am a firm believer in your science - as both a scientist (food scientist/nutritionist) and marathon runner. I have to tell you that I think the product is incredible! I have used it in my training all summer, during runs. I have had no leg soreness and most importantly for me, I don’t feel an overall, total body fatigue that I usually suffer throughout Sunday after my long runs (15+ miles). I am now training for another marathon and I will be using RAD Endurance during my training sessions and during the marathon. I’m hooked on RAD!” Steven Zwerink, 400 meter runner (Silver Medal winner, Netherlands national championships, 2007) - The Netherlands “After a long period of injuries, PeptoPro helped me rejoin the top level of the Netherlands’ 400 meter sprinters faster than would normally have been physically possible. I find that I recover quicker from intensive training and competition and I can start training again the next day. My muscles feel fitter and less stiff than they did during periods of heavy training in the past. As far as I’m concerned, PeptoPro provides me with the essential building blocks that help my muscles recover and develop. The balanced combination of proteins and carbohydrates means that after a morning’s training I’m alert at work and actively recovering from the exertion.” Melton Rasimphi, long distance Duathlon (3rd place World championships, Belgium, 2008) - South Africa "Amazing products! I have never experienced energy like that before - that is what I call definition of Nutritional Sports Science. The Multipower Supercharger with PeptoPro gave my whole body a repair boost. Born Carbo Energy Superior kept me awake after hard sessions in class - usually fall asleep in class straight after hard sessions. I call PeptoPro "the fuel injection of protein + the super-recharger = Optimum High Performance." Anthony Hehir, triathlete - South-Africa "I have been using PeptoPro for some months now. I am really happy with the product! I have been training very intensively for an IronMan triathlon where there is often not much time for recovery. What I find with using PeptoPro is that I never get the usual post-exercise muscle soreness or stiffness and recover much more quickly. And in long-distance sessions I find I can keep up a better pace for longer. I think PeptoPro is fantastic! The results are really visible in my training." Rasmus Henning, triathlete - Denmark
“The best training camp of my career” Pieter Jouke, marathon runner - The Netherlands "I’m training to run a marathon in under three hours which means I’m training hard and often. I’ve noticed that when I use PeptoPro I can get up in the morning more easily the day after a heavy training session. I feel more rested and recovered. And what’s maybe more important is that using PeptoPro means I can train every day without feeling drained or getting injured. Without PeptoPro I regularly had injured tendons and muscles. Keeping in shape involves days when I first have a long spell of running training followed by weight training and using fitness equipment. I can handle this by using PeptoPro during and after training, without any loss of performance. If I do manage to run the marathon within three hours I know it’s down to determinaton, discipline, the right mentality and PeptoPro."
 Peter Rudnick, beach sports, kayaking, cycling - USA "Sunday, we had a relay race consisting of a water launch, a two-mile sprint and then a beach landing with a run down the beach to tag the next contestant. I got up early and mixed up a batch of RAD (red. with PeptoPro) half an hour before the event began. Being the first to compete, I went out for a couple practice laps. During the race I was able to catch the contestant in front of me on the upwind leg and at the finish of the race I was pulling strong and felt great, thanks to RAD." "I’ve since been using RAD during several bike rides and noticed that on my two times-a-week, after-work commute (of 27 miles) I have actually gotten faster, from 1 hour 50 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, and even hit 1 hour 39 minutes the other day. Also, I have not been experiencing the "crash" after the ride! Again, I attribute this to RAD." "This coming weekend I am doing a 10-mile benefit paddle race using a Hobie kayak with the pedal drive, thus combining paddling and pedaling at the same time. I will definitely be using RAD Endurance drink mix prior, during, and after the event." Mona R. Treadwell, cyclist - USA
"I was introduced to RAD
sports drink (red. with PeptoPro) during the International Society for Sports
Nutrition annual meeting this year. As an avid cyclist and a sports dietitian,
I have been looking for a new sports drink that contains protein in about a
4:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio and tastes good enough to drink! I found
this with RAD Endurance! Arjan Smit, inline speed skating - The Netherlands
"I started using PeptoPro in April 2004 while preparing for the European
Championships Inline Speed Skating. All my training was focused on this event
and I trained really hard. Using PeptoPro was a real help for a quicker
recovery, especially when I trained hard twice a day. I am convinced it helped
me win a silver medal at those European Championships. My best result ever! Marleen Stroomer, long distance runner - The Netherlands
“I really like the product and don’t have any problems with cramp which I
did have with some of the other sporting food supplements I tried in the past. Frank Hamelink, long distance runner - The Netherlands
“This has been a really good season for me and my performance has been much
better than in the previous two seasons. The common fall-off in the second
half of a race just hasn’t been there. I can keep up a faster speed for
longer. I believe it’s due to the PeptoPro in the
Multipower products I’m using. They also noticed it at my club and asked
what kind of miracle ingredient I was taking. I just told them I’d got into
doping. Ha ha, only joking. I’m against pills and all that kind of stuff. This
is simply advanced sport nutrition.
Multipower Re-Charge with PeptoPro is on the doping-free list of the
Netherlands doping centre, NeCeDo. And although average triathletes like me
are never going to be tested, I have the guarantee I’m not using any of that
rubbish. Diana Brouwer, long distance runner - The Netherlands
"I’ve been using
Multipower (red. met PeptoPro) for the past couple of months. I wasn’t
used to using any kind of sport drink or special food supplement so it was a
complete revelation for me. Leo Meewisse, mountainbiker - The Netherlands Leo is a man who takes his sport seriously. His main achievement this year was participating in the Xterra world championships in Maui, Hawaii. Leo has this to say about his experiences with Multipower: ‘My sporting career took a leap forward when I decided to give up my day job. For me it’s a challenge to be involved in a competition that offers so much more and completely absorbs me. Top point of the past season for me was the offroad world’s in Maui. I’m sure I was the best on the day among those over 60. That I narrowly missed winning was down to other factors. It certainly wasn’t due to lack of preparation. Being a pensioner, I don’t lack for time for some serious training. The limiting factor is my ability to recover. The discovery of the year for me was that using Multipower containing 2% PeptoPro leads to much less muscle damage, from protein degradation, especially during intensive training. I suspect this is because the recovery process begins even during training due to proteins which can be absorbed directly. After really heavy training, or a race, I use the version with 4% PeptoPro. The result is, I can get more training done and that’s been reflected in my performance.” |
