What Is ENDUROX EXCEL? ENDUROX EXCEL is a dietary supplement that, when taken as part of your training regimen, is proven to enhance workout performance by raising the lactate threshold and increasing cardiac efficiency, build endurance, speed recovery, and increase fat metabolism.* The recommended dose of two caplets contains 1,200 mg of ENDUROX, a standardized extract of the herb ciwujia, and 60 IUs of vitamin E (50% more ciwujia than regular ENDUROX and 200% of the Daily Value for vitamin E). Ciwujia, a natural root grown in the northeast section of China, has been used continuously as part of traditional Chinese medicine for almost 1700 years. The usual human dose is 9 to 27 grams per day of the raw herb. Ciwujia has been shown to be remarkably safe. It has been administered to laboratory animals in multiple studies, at doses ranging from 60 to 200 times the recommended human dose. Ciwujia does not contain caffeine and does not produce any stimulant or anabolic steroid side effects. Ciwujia has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat fatigue and to bolster the immune system. This root intrigued researchers because of published reports on the use of ciwujia by mountain climbers. These reports describe the use of ciwujia to improve work performance at high altitudes and low oxygen conditions. Additional studies showed that laboratory animals administered ciwujia survived longer under low oxygen conditions and that ciwujia could increase oxygenation of heart muscle tissue. Ciwujia is marketed by PacificHealth Laboratories under the trademark of ENDUROX. How effective is ENDUROX EXCEL in improving workout performance? Studies conducted at a major international research institute and a leading U.S. health science center show ENDUROX EXCEL¹: reduces lactic acid levels up to 33%, which delays the onset of muscle soreness and fatigue during a workout increases cardiac efficiency by lowering heart rate while maintaining the same level of workout intensity raises the anaerobic threshold speeds workout recovery* How does ENDUROX EXCEL build endurance? ENDUROX EXCEL changes the way your body fuels a workout by shifting your body's workout energy source from carbohydrate to fat.‡ This unique carbohydrate-sparing action raises the lactate threshold. ENDUROX EXCEL also has been shown to improve the efficiency of the heart by lowering heart rate while maintaining the same level of exercise intensity. How does ENDUROX EXCEL speed workout recovery? ENDUROX EXCEL speeds recovery following exercise two ways: (1) by delaying the buildup of lactic acid; and (2) through the antioxidant action of vitamin E. Vitamin E has been shown to improve recovery following exercise by preventing the buildup of free radicals, which are partially to blame for muscle damage and soreness.2,3,4* How effective is ENDUROX EXCEL in metabolizing fat during a workout? By shifting the fuel source from carbohydrate to fat during a workout, ENDUROX EXCEL increases the metabolism of fat calories up to 43%.1* What is the recommended adult dose of ENDUROX EXCEL? Adults should take two caplets with water once a day. For best results ENDUROX EXCEL should be taken 1 to 2 hours before your workout. You should take ENDUROX EXCEL every day even if you don't work out every day. Two caplets of ENDUROX EXCEL provide 200% of the recommended Daily Value for vitamin E. Is ENDUROX EXCEL a Stimulant? ENDUROX EXCEL is not a stimulant and does not produce any stimulant or steroid side effects. Subjects taking ENDUROX (or ENDUROX EXCEL) were tested for the classes of products (anabolic steroids and agents, stimulants, narcotics, and diuretics) banned by the International Olympic Committee. All tests were negative. The herb ciwujia has been used extensively without reported side effects. How soon will I see the effects of ENDUROX EXCEL? The benefits of ENDUROX EXCEL are usually felt within 10-14 days. Directions: As a dietary supplement, take two (2) caplets once daily. |
