U.S.
Olympians
Offered
Sports
Drink
that
Claims
to
Increase
Performance
by
55
Percent
August
2000
--
Few
events
are
more
intense
on
an
athlete's
muscles
than
the
Olympic
Games.
For
that
reason,
New
Jersey
based
PacificHealth
Laboratories,
Inc.
(Nasdaq:
PHLI)
is
making
a
public
offer
to
every
United
States
athlete
who
will
compete
in
the
upcoming
Olympic
Games.
PHLI
is
purchasing
a
full-page
advertisement
in
the
August
3
edition
of
USA
Today
offering
a
free
supply
of
the
company's
breakthrough
sports
drink,
Endurox
R4,
to
all
U.S.
Olympians.
Endurox
R4
was
developed
by
six
of
the
country's
top
exercise
physiologists.
In
studies
versus
the
leading
selling
sports
drink,
Endurox
R4
was
proven
to
increase
performance
by
55%,
decrease
muscle
damage
by
36%,
and
dramatically
enhance
muscle
recovery,
according
to
the
manufacturer.
The
product
is
so
unique
it
is
patented
(US
Patent
6,051,236).
U.S.
Athletes
Say
Endurox
R4
Boosts
Endurance
A
number
of
U.S.
Olympians
including
Jennifer
Gutierrez,
who
will
be
competing
in
the
triathlon,
have
already
had
success
using
the
product
in
training
and
competition
which
gave
PHLI
the
idea
to
offer
it
to
the
entire
U.S.
Olympic
Team.
"Recovery,
especially
from
tough,
demanding
workouts
is
essential
for
improvement
at
any
level
of
any
sport,"
said
Gutierrez.
"Endurox
R4
has
allowed
me
to
train
25
to
30
hours
per
week
instead
of
15
to
20
like
in
years
past
and
that
has
provided
me
an
incredible
edge
when
it
comes
to
race
day."
Former
U.S.
Olympic
Cycling
Coach
Chris
Carmichael
added,
"I
am
not
exaggerating
when
I
say
Endurox
R4
can
bring
an
athlete's
performance
to
the
next
level."
"Instead
of
just
cheering
on
our
athletes
in
Sydney,
we
want
to
give
them
the
edge
they
need
to
achieve
their
personal
best,"
said
Dr.
Robert
Portman,
President
of
PHLI.
"Once
we
saw
the
improvements
in
endurance
and
performance
by
athletes
like
Jennifer
and
others,
we
knew
we
had
a
sports
drink
that
could
benefit
all
of
our
Olympians."

R4

a
