It’s a thought you share with thousands staring bleakly into the neon glow of a sport drink bottle. Sure, it might replace sweat better than water, but does it really have to be so sweet, so syrupy, and taste like its been on the shelf for 15+ years. Haven’t we learned anything new in the last 30 years?Enter Mark Jensen, former sub 4-minute miler, a Nike guy and like all competitive marathoners, a little insane. Sick of wondering, he set his performance obsessed sights on re-examining the science of human fuel.
What he found was surprising. While current sports drinks were adequate for re-hydration, they did nothing, in fact they actually hindered athletic performance. (Maybe that gag reaction was trying to tell us something.) The problem is that sports drinks use carbs that need to be digested into a simpler form before they can be used as energy. You have to “expend energy to get energy.” The answer, Jensen found, was glucose. The most efficient fuel the body can use, glucose requires no digestion. It’s instantly absorbed into the blood stream and is delivered to muscles and cells as immediate energy. After thousands of miles, races, and training-runs later, Gleukos has earned converts among competitive athletes from Eugene to Boston, as well as coaching gurus at the nation’s most elite sports labs and training centers. Better still, when you look at a bottle of Gleukos you don’t have to wonder, “Is this as good as it gets?” Just outrun, out-leap, outlast the other poor sucker next to you and think to yourself, “See you later, gator.”
FRS PRODUCTS
FRS was originally formulated, tested, and refined by leading scientists as a fatigue fighting and general health drink. It was later discovered by endurance athletes who found that it boosted and sustained their peak athletic performance while supporting their overall health. Now FRS is used by anyone who wants a healthy and sustained boost of energy. The key active ingredient in FRS is Quercetin. (pronounced: KWAIR-suh-ten)
Quercetin is a natural antioxidant found in the skins of apples, blueberries, and onions. It protects the adrenaline that your body naturally creates to give you energy for small daily tasks like staying awake at work and big events like running a marathon. Quercetin allows your body to create the same amount of energy that it normally creates, but to use it more efficiently so you feel more energy for a longer amount of time.

VPX NO-Shotgun MHF-1 is the first product of its kind to use a superior synergistic blend of effective compounds combined with a cutting-edge pharmaceutical delivery system that yields mind blowing, skin bursting effects, while additionally enhancing recovery and protein synthesis. Compounds such as Creatine (CEX™), Arginine (AEX™), Glutamine (GEX™), Beta-Alanine (BAEX™) and Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAEX™) that are each combined with Ethyl Ester (EX™) technology to insure maximum absorption and uptake! The Ethyl Ester Compounds used in NO-Shotgun help these potent muscle building ingredients enter the bloodstream nearly 100% intact, as opposed to the same ingredients without EX™ technology that might only be absorbed at 15% to 40%. This highly advanced EX™ technology shuttles these NO-Shotgun compounds across the muscle cell membrane where they can cause explosive muscle growth!
- Contains REDLINE & MELTDOWN’S powerful fat burning and energy technology for mind blowing intensity!
- GBB and MTB Pump (Magnesium Tanshinoate B) for Nitric Oxide induced skin splitting pumps.
- 40,000 milligrams of anabolic PROTEIN FRACTIONS in just one serving! No cheap dextrose or waxy maize fillers.
- With BCAA’s & Fractionated Protein Peptides for maximal muscle protein synthesis and nitrogen retention - to important markers of muscle growth!
- Fueled by Research proven PeptoPro and BPOV for maximum insulin secretion and insulin receptor site sensitivity. Insulin is the most anabolic of all hormones! No carbs, waxy maize starch or sugars needed.
- With COP™ (Creatinol-O-Phosphate) to enhance anaerobic glycolysis and CPT (di-Na Creatine PhosphateTetrahydrate) -- two designer creatines proven in VPX labs to be resistant to conversion to creatinine. This eliminates bloating and allows transport of intact COP and CPT into muscle tissue!
- Beta-Alanine is a hyper-performance ingredient patented to increase whole body creatine retention to crank out more sets and more muscle-blasting reps for increased lean mass!
- Satellite Cell Activators for maximal new Muscle Cell Division Hyperplasia! This means larger existing muscle fibers and spliting of these fibers to create totally new muscle.
- NO-Shotgun fuels episodes of physical intensity to induce insane muscle pumps that can lead to muscle growth. The biochemical and physiological response to NO-Shotgun when combined with intense resistance training causes extra trauma to occur to trained muscle. Greater resistance to muscle results in significantly increased internal pressure (the pump)…And as you know, the better the pump the greater the trauma caused to muscle-tissue. The end result: increased ability to build larger muscle!
- NO-Shotgun is the most advanced product of its kind…Bar none! VPX is so confident in the effectiveness of NO-SHOTGUN that we have a $100,000 offer on the table to ANY supplement company that can conclusively prove – ina double-blind University Study – that their product is better at producing lean muscle, generating greater ATP production for more explosive workouts and initiating NO induced, blood engorged pumps.
HyperShock was formulated by top researchers in pharmaceutical delivery technology, utilizing 2 patented processes. The 1st patented process generates 8 Hour Time Released Nitric Oxide pumps. This technology allows us to combine strong metabolic amplifiers and mental stimulants, and still guarantee 8 Hour Nitric Oxide. No other product can make these claims. Patent #2 includes 100% stable, high absorption Kre-Alkalyn. This no-load, buffered creatine is 10x more effective than regular creatine, and produces intra-cellular, rapid fire ATP with no side effects. Compare HyperShock with any other product in its class and you'll find it stands alone. Believe the science, not the hype.
