Energ-Ease

We say that Energ-Ease helps you to, "Get Up...  Get Going... & Keep Going..." to emphasize the fact that Energ-Ease is the ONLY endurance formula studied in endurance athletes (just like you) that has research-proven benefits such as better hormone balance (preventing overtraining), improved oxygen delivery and utilization (VO2max), energy metabolism (lower lactic acid), improved mental function (mood state), and fatigue reduction (immediate energy and sustained stamina).

The research on Energ-Ease and Recover-Ease has been presented at a range of international scientific conferences, including the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM, 2004), the International Society for Sports Nutrition (ISSN 2006 & 2007), and the largest nutrition science conference in the world, the Experimental Biology Annual Scientific Conference (2007).

The bottom line from our research efforts is that Wicked Fast products work - and they work for endurance athletes just like you in situations in which you find yourself almost everyday with your own training and racing regimen.

For example, research results presented at ISSN in 2006 showed supplementation with one of the primary ingredients in Energ-Ease (Eurycoma) led to significant benefits during endurance competition, including:

• 32% reduction in Cortisol exposure
• 16% increase in Testosterone exposure

Researchers concluded from this particular study that Eurycoma extract, "May help to maintain normal levels of cortisol (low) and testosterone (high) and thus promote an overall anabolic hormonal state - versus a catabolic state characterized by elevated cortisol and suppressed testosterone - during intense endurance exercise." (a potentially HUGE benefit in preventing overtraining during your most intense training phases)...

 

Recover-Ease

At the American College of Sports Medicine’s 2004 Annual Scientific Meeting in Indianapolis, Recover-Ease was shown to significantly improve recovery in endurance athletes (marathon runners).

Study results were presented to show that following extreme endurance competition, supplementation with Recover-Ease led to:

• 52% reduction in Fatigue
• 51% reduction in Muscle Soreness
• 38% increase in Energy
• 24% boost in Mental Function
• 20% boost in Immune Function
• 16% increase in Overall Mood
• 5-day faster return to normal training
  

Researchers concluded that, “Adequate recovery is important for competitive athletes, not only for the obvious benefits of being able to train and compete at a higher level, but also for the less obvious benefits of protecting the athlete from overtraining, illness, and injury.”

Additional research data on the post-exercise benefits of Recover-Ease were presented at the 2006 ISSN Conference - showing a significant control of stress hormone exposure (cortisol) in endurance cyclists.

New research data on the benefits of Energ-Ease and Recover-Ease in Ironman Triathletes have also been presented at BOTH the 2007 Experimental Biology Scientific Conference (the largest nutrition research conference in the world) and the 2007 International Society for Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Annual Scientific Conference. That data was clear in its support for the COMBINED use of Energ-Ease and Recover-Ease to help triathletes with:

• Reduced Stress (-21%)
• Reduced Fatigue (-53%)
• Reduced Tension (-54%)
• Reduced Depression (-64%)
• Better Overall Mood (+29%)
• Better Mental Performance (+67%)
• Better Physical Performance (+69%)

The research proves it - there is no more potent or effective combination of nutritional products to help endurance athletes adapt to the demands of rigorous training and competition. Do your research (and you'll see that we've been doing ours) - and then give Energ-Ease and Recover-Ease a try to see for yourself.
