The Big Weight
This week, I asked a couple of my friends to try ProEndorphin (www.nutraceutics.com). I read about it in GQ and heard about it at the gym. The materials even said it helped Hilary Swank get into shape for Million Dollar Baby. Being that it looked like she could take me down for the count, it was good enough for me.
So I decided to give a try before a couple of workouts and it definitely does give you a kick. Compared to the Sugar Free Red Bull, it actually tastes good (it’s kind of like Tang when you mix it in with 8 ounces of water) and the box of 20 sachets is worth the price just for portability alone. The only downside I encountered, which is what I faced when I take any sort of endurance enhancer, is that I started to get a little jittery after a few days of taking it. After laying off of it for a couple of days, it worked fine again.
My friends Maureen Lundberg and Alison Hocart call it “[an] excellent work out supplement. It gives you long-term energy with out too many yucky side-effects. You get a feeling of focused energy without the jumpiness of other products. It’s great for cardio workouts. I would definitely use this again, over and above all other supplements” they’ve tried. Brendan Moran, Positive Thinking’s esteemed Art Director told me that ProEndorphin gave him that kick that would send him racing to the gym, and he hates going to the gym. An added, though unexpected, benefit for Mr. Moran — when he took the ProEndorphin right before lunch time, he felt less hungry!
