What Athletes across the United States are saying about Acid Zapper

I've been an athlete for 30 years, and have competed at a national and world class level in 5 different sports, from gymnastics, to Ironman Tri's, to Eco-Challenge/expedition length Adventure Races. As you can imagine, I have tried EVERYthing out there to get an edge on the competition. I have been using Acid Zapper for 6 weeks now, morning and night, and for the first time in my career, I can honestly say, "this stuff WORKS" with 100 percent confidence.
Without changing my training, I am suddenly breaking all of my old records on my hill repeats and 100 mile road rides on the bike, not to mention floating through my 20-25 mile weekend training runs. And the best part is that I just feel like I can go on and on forever at the increased output levels. My training partners are wondering what the heck happened to me--why I'm flying through our 7-10 hour training days (that used to destroy all of us) at greater speeds and with zero lactic acid buildup. I'm lovin' it. The only annoying part is that its hard for me to feel like I've really gotten any 'training effect' from my big workouts since I'm not tired or sore after events like the 50k trail race I ran a few weeks ago anymore. Nothing. I'll get over it, though. :). The bottom line is that Acid Zappers is the best supplement I've ever used, and I am starting to feel like the athlete I've always dreamed of becoming. It's truly a gift to be competing as a professional athlete at 40 years old, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. Luckily, with Acid Zapper, I think my team and I will be giving the competition a run for their money, so to speak, for years to come. For Robyn's complete video testimonial click here

In early July Coach Richard Wharton from Dallas, TX suggested I try using Acid Zapper tablets prior to the USA Triathlon National Age Group Championship in Kansas City. I'm skeptical about most products, but he gave me a bottle and explained the basic function of the product, so I decided to give it a try. I took four tablets that day, and four each day up to the competition, just 4 days away
At the National Triathlon Championship in Kansas City I won my age group by over 6 minutes. While the course was certainly a demanding, hilly course, I noticed that while fatigued and legs heavy from the hills, my quads did not "burn" toward the end of the 10k, which is typical when pushing the pace toward the finish.
On July 29, I competed in the World Duathlon Championships in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. It was cooler but rained during the entire race, my supplement routine, including Acid Zapper. I won my age group by 11 seconds, at the crest of a hill, just as we were turning into the finish chute. Although tired after racing for 2.5 hours, and legs dead from a quad-shredding course, when given the chance to move up and win, I was able to dig deep without my legs on fire. They responded very well.

Just coming off an injury with over a month off of training, I had a prior racing commitment. Because of the lack of fitness, I really needed an edge. As a result of using Acid Zapper a few days before and the day of the competition allowed my body to race fast and win the race.I am very excited to incorporate Acid Zapper into my training for the 2007 Racing Season.thank-you for all you do!

A week after Interbike I competed in the Furnace Creek 508 using Acid Zapper pills and granules that you provided for me. The Furnace Creek 508 went great for me. I had a lot of power and felt excellent. My team-mate refused my offer of Acid Zapper and used another premium sports supplement. He had a miserable race, and his form post-race has been awful too. More on that later. My form was so good in the race that, although we didn't win the two-person category outright, we placed third in it, and set a new course record in the 30+ age group. This is good for me, because I'm 44!
In the weeks after the FC508 my threshold continued to rise. On the Tuesday before the 508, I rode on my CompuTrainer for one hour at a heart rate of 162 average. That was as high as I could sustain. I have not yet got back on the
CompuTrainer, but last weekend I competed in a time trial race here in the Bay Area and maintained an average heart rate of 170 for one hour. Based on my blood lactate measurements pre-508, I know I could not have sustained that intensity. I acknowledge that some of the rise in threshold is due to the training effect, but I am willing to bet that it is partly due to taking Acid Zapper.
As for my team-mate from the 508, his form continued to plunge on the other supplement regimen. Having seen my form in the 508, he purchased a container of Acid Zapper and is beginning his journey.
Onwards and upwards!

The very short summary is that IronMan Hawaii was the best race of my life. Coming 3 weeks before my 60th birthday you could say I am a bit slow in learning how to race an IronMan but it sure banished any worries about getting old. There are a lot of things that go into a successful race and race season. This year I can say with certainty that Acid Zapper was an important part of that success. As I have said before I have not suffered any delayed onset muscle soreness this season after any race or hard workout. I did have some muscle soreness after IronMan but there was nothing delayed about it. I modified my running gate 6 weeks before the race and my legs are not quite used to it yet.
I used Acid Zapper for the first time in a race. I took a total of 4 tablets during the race, three on the bike and 1 on the run. I was also using the toothpaste you sent me and used it twice on the bike and 3 or 4 times on the run. My fuel intake was not much different from earlier IronMan races; my energy level on the run was very different. The results probably say it best. A marathon PR of 4:06 that is 14 minutes better than my previous PR (IM Arizona in the spring without Acid Zappers) and 45 minutes better than my best marathon in Hawaii (I have raced here 4 times before). My overall race result was a PR for Hawaii by 10 minutes and my best placing, 7th. I had not done better than 14th before.
Bill Humphreys "The Bike Guy", Coach and Bronze Medalist at 2000 Master's Mountain Bike World Championships
"I have been using Acid Zapper consistently since August 2006 and can attest to its effectiveness regarding lack of soreness after epic days on the bike with the youngsters. I can say without a doubt that Acid Zapper, helps me go harder longer and recover quicker than anything I have tried in the last 35 years of experimenting with natural, vitamins, herbs, and drinks."
Mike McKovich, Coach
"For my 65th birthday I decided to do Ironman Arizona. While I had been doing some biking, running, and lifting weights I had not done any swimming. Swimming was really difficult as my arms would load up almost immediately. I added Acid Zapper to my program and within a week I could do my swim workouts with no problem."

"When you train hard your system's pH becomes very acidic. With Acid Zapper you better control your alkaline levels and thus perform better. My legs feel much better on a consistent basis since I have been taking Acid Zapper! No one likes how painful going hard can feel on your muscles. With Acid Zapper you'll feel better and go faster."
Scott Horns, Bella Multisport Coaching

USAT Triathlon coach,
"During my final build for IMUSA Acid Zapper improved recovery and during the event my performance was never hindered by lactic acid build up. I did a 1000TT short course yards and broke 14 minutes for the first time. My experience with Acid Zapper was better than I expected."
Mark Kendall, coach, SpeedSHOT Racing & Coaching Services - Portland, Oregon
"As extreme athletes, we are constantly pushing our bodies to achieve that next level in performance and in the process leave our bodies vulnerable to breakdown. Our ability to race fast depends on the intensity of training and quality of recovery. Acid Zapper has proven tremendously beneficial by buffering the effects of metabolic stress and breakdown that result from heavy training loads. Less damage has meant a faster recovery, improved quality of training, and a healthier body day after day. Thanks again Acid Zapper!"
