Two New Products for RIVALUS in 2009

We have been very busy finalizing our testing for yet another amazing New Product for January 2009. It's called Anabolic Prescription and it is our first "Muscle Stack" product. "We created HELIX-24 and Anabolic Prescription at the request of numerous high-performance athletes and teams. Ask for it in January from your favorite sports nutrition retailer and watch for it online from our new e-store being launched with our updated site during the first week of January." -Jon Fraser, VP Operations.

RIVALUS Growing at an Exponential pace

We have recently added several key executives to our team to help manage our exponential growth. Dr Burke is pleased to welcome Jon Fraser to our Executive Team. "Jon has the right education and background to help drive us forward and execute our company objectives." Jon has extensive experience in the aerospace industry and has spent time working on projects for the US Military and NASA. Dr Burke states: "We recruit the best to work on our team at RIVALUS. We are very lucky to be able to bring Jon here to Nova Scotia-he will be in charge of our day-to-day activity and will steer our corporate growth to the next level." Watch for a new nutrient dense product under a slightly different label created to support musculoskeletal growth based on Jon's experience with astronauts and zero gravity!

RIVALUS Creates Revolutionary New Product

Dr. Darren Burke and the RIVALUS Scientific Research Team have been busy in the laboratory developing and testing unique formulations in their pursuit to create more revolutionary supplements. The wait is now over and RIVALUS has recently launched a new ahead-of-trend product. Chief Scientific Advisor, Dr Candow comments: "We have created a new type of supplement using the latest technology in the fields of organic and gene science." HELIX-24 Athletes Genetics is the latest new release from RIVALUS and has been clinically found to trigger genetic changes in skeletel muscle within hours of ingestion and when combined with regular exerise has been proven to lead to dramatic increases in Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1).

Stay tuned for the arrival of HELX-24 Athletes Genetics to your local Sport Nutrition Store and for more great new product launches from RIVALUS.

Dr. Burke's Ground-Breaking Study on IGF-1

The latest issue of the prestigious International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism contains a recent publication by RIVALUS CEO, Dr. Darren Burke and Scientific Colleagues Dr. Darren Candow, Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky and Dr. Tim Ziegenfuss.

"This is first study to demonstrate significant increases in muscle tissue IGF-1 expression from creatine supplementation and heavy resistance training" -Dr. Burke.

IGF-1 is a powerful anabolic growth factor and when expressed in muscle cells causes an increase in muscle size and strength. There are a number of metabolic signals needed to trigger a big enough expression of muscle IGF-1 to cause an increase in muscle size and strength. Dr. Burke and his team were the first to create the right "ingredients" necessary to trigger this response. The creatine supplement used and the exercise program that subjects followed resulted in significant increases in muscle size, muscle strength and a reduction in body fat.

Stay-tuned for more of Dr. Burke's ground-breaking research. He recently completed a book chapter on Building Muscle with Resistance Training that we will be making available very soon.

MPOWER Best Fat Burner Energy Pill!

MPOWER Athletes Energy is the top selling Fat Burner-Energy Pill!

More top athletes are using MPOWER than any other product to enhance their training and competition performance and body composition.

One of the most common questions I get is: "Can I take MPOWER even though I am not an elite athlete?"

My answer is always this: "MPOWER is Powerful enough for the World's Greatest Athletes but Safe for Everyone"

The dosage recommendations are for elite athletes but recreational athletes like myself can find great success using half the recommended amount. I occasionally take the same amount as our Olympians but only before a very intense training session.

Thanks for your support and for the great questions sent via AskDrBurke@rivalus.net

Regards,
Dr Darren Burke, CEO RIVALUS Inc.

Here is a recent email I recieved from a RIVALUS Athlete regarding ENCHARGE: "Hi, I am a 20 year-old male college baseball player. I emailed you once before about ENCHARGE. The product has worked out great, and it has helped me in my workouts so much! My question is once I have finished a bottle's worth of pills do I buy another or do I need to take a break from it, and if so, how long of a break? Anyway the product is great, my compliments to RIVALUS! Thanks very much for your time!"

My Response: "Thanks for the update and I am glad to hear things went well with your first bottle of ENCHARGE-your story of great results is similar to many other RIVALUS Athletes. The question is similar also. Here is my answer: You can take ENCHARGE as long as you like and continuously as well. However, I do think that a two week period off CYCLE will result in even bigger gains once you start taking ENCHARGE again. The reason I suggest a brief off CYCLE period is for your receptors to up-regulate as a result of the reduced daily creatine exposure. When ENCHARGE is re-introduced back in your supplement routine, you will experience even greater uptake into your muscles and in turn bigger gains in strength and size. The CYCLING on and off ENCHARGE is actually better with each subsequent CYCLE as the total creatine pool inside the muscles will continue to increase with each subsquent CYCLE on. This will promote rapid gains in size and strength and fast recovery. Keep training hard and enjoy ENCHARGE. You should try stacking it with PROMASIL for even greater benefit. Stay in touch and keep me posted on your progress. Regards, Dr. Burke"

Stay tuned for more great things from RIVALUS.
