The “Boost” in EPO-Boost
The other day I was asked by a curious consumer what exactly the “EPO” in EPO-Boost stood for. The answer is Erythropoietin, a peptide hormone that is produced naturally by the kidney, heads straight for the bone marrow, and increases the production of red blood cells (which is what bone marrow does for a living) and in turn carries oxygen to the body’s muscles.
That’s a good thing, especially for athletes. When performing athletically, and you feel that insane, horrifying burn in your thighs or arms, this is the muscle screaming for oxygen and relief. Since we all know that relief is essentially slowing down (totally not acceptable), the oxygen is what you need.
This is where a product like EPO-Boost comes in! Taking the correct amount of EPO-Boost, which is non-addictive, your personal EPO levels will rise significantly, as in 90%, and increase your VO2max.
What is VO2max you ask? Beginning athletes and veterans alike have most likely heard the term, but have no clue what this refers to. Well let me clue you in, just in case. VO2max is the highest capability of your body to transport and use oxygen during exercise. Literally, V stands for “volume per time”, O2 stands for oxygen, and max means maximum.
Now one thing that skeptics need to know is that EPO-Boost is 100% legal. This is not a synthetic or actual hormone (which were banned in the 1990’s by the World Anti-Doping Agency), but many familiar and/or all-natural substances that just let your body do what it does best… only a little better. The endurance, strength, speed, and all-around performance increase are completely guaranteed.
There’s nothing better than a guarantee, since that simply means you have nothing to lose, but a world of power to gain.
Olympic Swimmers Take Dietary Supplements for EPO-like Benefits
American Swimmers Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres admitted that they were taking a nutrition program to the benefits of some banned drugs to help them stay among the world’s elite swimmers, local reports said on Tuesday. Under the program, swimmers are requested to take small amounts of the controversial but legal creatine and about 25 daily supplements of multivitamins, minerals, amino acids and supplemental proteins, the Washington Post reported.
“The program, which costs more than 500 dollars a month, will produce the benefits of some banned drugs such as human growth hormone and erythropoietin (EPO) without breaking any rules or jeopardizing the athletes’ health,” the Washington Post quoted Glen Luepnitz, a Texas-based nutritionist and Immunologist, as saying.
“We know there are all sorts of performance-enhancing drugs being utilized nationally and internationally,” Luepnitz said. “I’m trying to look for an edge … We can get their own body to provide the same type of response in a very controlled manner.”
Torres’ and Thompson’s separate disclosures came in response to questions regarding their training methods and may have been intended to disassociate themselves from suspicions of banned drug use.
Torres, 33, recently set an American record in the 50-meter freestyle despite coming out of retirement just last year after seven years away from the sport. Thompson, 27, has long been considered one of the top Americans in the freestyle and butterfly, with the most Olympic gold medals of five but all from the relays events.
However, neither swimmer was ready to identify their specific supplement routine, citing a desire to protect their “trade secrets at a highly competitive time of year.”
Both Torres and Thompson train under U.S. Olympic women’s team coach Richard Quick, who said that he not only supports Luepnitz’s program, but also is using it for his Stanford swimmers.

Impact of VO2 Max and Running Economy on Athletic Performance
During a race, running out of energy can be a serious problem for all runners, whether you are on the track, running a marathon or a ultramarathon. The most important factor in predictors of athletic performance is VO2 Max and running economy.
VO2 Max is a measure of how fit an athlete is:
It expresses the volume of oxygen a body consumes per minute.
Runners with a high VO2 max absorb more oxygen; they can run farther and race faster. Economic runners burn less oxygen at a given pace: they’re frugal with oxygen use. They too can run farther and race faster. The best 5K, 10K, marathon and triathlon performances are run by athletes with high VO2 max and good running economy.
EPO-BOOST™ dramatically increases VO2 max and running economy, the most important predictors of running performance.
What does VO2 MAX mean?
VO2 max, or Maximum Oxygen Uptake Capacity, to use its formal name, is the amount of oxygen we can absorb into our cells in one minute while working at full capacity. It’s a measure of fitness expressed in milliliters per kilogram per minute (i.e., aerobic capacity).
In one way, VO2 max is similar to the size of the gas tank in one’s car.The bigger the tank (i.e. VO2 max) the farther the car can go. As an example, if you had to drive a long distance and had to choose between two cars and one car has a gas tank that is twice the size of the other car’s, which car would you choose? EPO-BOOST™ increases the size of your “gas tank” so you can go run farther and race faster.
What is Running Economy?
Running economy is the energy required during running at a given sub-maximal velocity. It’s often expressed as the rate of oxygen consumption per distance covered (ml/kg/km). Those who are able to consume less oxygen while running at a given velocity are said to have a better running economy. Determination of running economy is carried out by measuring oxygen consumption at a steady state within one’s aerobic range.
Running economy is similar to the fuel economy of a person’s car. Again, running economy is a measure of how much (or little, as the case may be) oxygen the runner uses for a given, sub-maximal speed. In theory, two runners can have the same maximal capacity for oxygen use (VO2 max), and then the one who is more economical at the sub-maximal speeds is likely to be the better runner.
EPO-BOOST™ dramatically increases VO2 max and running economy, the most important predictors of running performance.
Now you can reap the benefits of increased VO2 max and running economy in your running and training. EPO-BOOST™ ingredients have been shown to significantly increase VO2 max and running economy in university athletes. You will see huge gains in endurance, we guarantee it 100%. By increasing endurance, EPO-BOOST™ let’s you train harder, run faster and run farther.
