Do you feel constantly tired and run down? Do you need caffeine and sugar to get you through the day? Are you under frequent mental or physical stress? Do you have trouble coping with stress? Do you have a decreased sex drive? Are you frequently depressed or angry? Do you engage in frequent extreme exercise? Do you often have an upset stomach? Do you overeat and/or have experienced significant weight gain? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you may be overburdening your adrenals and producing an excess amount of cortisol.

Immune Boosting Protein

Immunoglobulins are antibodies – proteins that your immune system uses to fight against intruding viruses and bacteria. Over 60 clinical studies have been published on the therapeutic effects of Immunoglobulins. The hormone-free immunoglobulin concentrate in Protein Extreme Energy is similar to the colostrum found in breast milk, serving both as a supply of high-quality, absorptive protein and as an immune booster.

How to Deal With Chronic Fatigue & Stress.

Nourishing the adrenals alone is not enough, however – stimulating the adrenals without opening the surrounding pathways of the nervous system (or, from the viewpoint of Chinese Medicine, the meridians) is like increasing the output of an electricity generator in a home with faulty wiring. Sooner or later, the whole thing will short circuit, and you may end up burning out your generator (adrenals). This is how an aggressive adrenal stimulant such as caffeine or sugar can eventually drain your entire system.

I’m in.  14 min Faster than I needed to Qualify for Boston in 2011.

Immediately after the race I was feeling pretty bad, but after a few hours I went out to eat with my family and then got in my car and drove back to NYC. The next day I worked a full day and was a little rough, but by Tuesday I was feeling great and today [Wednesday – 3 days after the marathon] I went for a bike ride and felt like I was completely recovered from the marathon, I had an amazing amount of energy.

Increase In Energy, Decrease in Hunger, and Ability to Run Harder, Longer and Recover Faster

Energy level is pretty high. Normally yesterday would have been the end of the 2nd week in a 3 week cycle (2 weeks of build/1 recovery…”normal” protocol for an athlete my age), but I actually feel well enough to see what it would be like to try a 4 week cycle of 3 weeks of build/1 recovery, just like the good old days. I’ll know more after my tempo run tomorrow, but so far, I’m really impressed with my recovery.

The Most Remarkable Change has been in the Recovery after Hard Runs

I’m currently training for my 7th marathon and the most remarkable change has been in the recovery after hard runs. It allows me to keep up with a young Peruvian girl that I’d normally be trailing behind at this point in our training!

Organic Turmeric Supports Cleansing and Anti-Inflammatory

Well known as a spice used in Eastern cooking, turmeric possesses cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties. During and after most workouts, your body has a higher than normal free radical load, and both your electron supply and electron transfer systems become depleted, creating pro-inflammatory conditions. The combination of immunoglobulin concentrate and turmeric found in Protein Extreme Energy very quickly supports the correction of the pro-inflammatory electron depletion.
