Research latest:- Multivitamins help to reduce cancer by 8% (which spread over a country's population > huge saving on medical resources let alone human suffering & misery)

Trouble is:- Which ingredient is the 'force'?

Hard to say Terry because at the time I started using it I also changed what protein I was using, I also started using a carb supplement, endura and infra red (per workout/amino acid supplement)

I must say my though I did maintain good muscle mass and strength even though my weight and body fat % dropped enough that it was visible. I would even say my strength increased noticeably

This is all after working 6-7 day weeks for over 10 hours a day in 30 plus degrees

Not enough in that formula for stress management...

But quite impressed with antioxidants for muscle recovery

Also impressed with minerals that help with glucose metabolism and insulin resistance for energy

Also impressed with pomegranate which helps prostate

Biotin, choline and milk thistle help with liver detox which is very efficient

Overall, a very good formula!

[GTR_JOEY]

Never really bought it for stress management, the fact that u reckon its good for muscle recovery and energy is good enough for me

ill keep on using it
