I have been a competitive triathlete for almost three decades. Yes, I started racing back in the days where helmets were optional, aero bikes did not exist, and there were no swim wetsuits. However, I did learn early about the value and importance of good nutrition as being an integral part to fueling my success. Early in my racing career I also learned and benefited immensely from augmenting my nutrition with various natural supplements. Because when you demand the best of your body it is often difficulty to ensure that the body is properly supported.

Recently I was introduced to the BioGenix line of sport optimization products. The product includes three main products – an optimal power formulation, a mineral/electrolyte formulation, and a hydration complex that are all formulated into a water soluble solution. You use them essentially like you would a homeopathic. The trio are the perfect complement to any serious athlete who wants to optimize their workout and performance. In the few months that I’ve been using this product I’ve noticed a slight but noticeable increase in power output, a quicker recovery rate, and an overall feeling of well being. There have also been no ill side effects. Hence, even though I must resign myself to giving up some speed and strength that comes with being almost 60 years of age, my race performances clearly speak to ‘doing something right’. I’m sold and I’m happy to share and spread the good news.

I totally love this product. It gives me that extra bit of energy on days (before tournaments or competitive games) that I don’t sleep as well and have difficulty focusing and concentrating on my game. It gives me a great boost of energy and endurance throughout the day when my energy levels dip. I cannot go without your Optimal Power System. I highly recommend it to any competitive volleyball player or endurance sport athlete! Thanks for a great product!

Dr. Cultrera,

I just had to e-mail in to let you know how awesome I think the BioGenix Optimal Hydration is. I had been playing beach volleyball in 90 plus degree weather for several days, needless to say I was pretty dehydrated. I used the BioGenix during the womens doubles tournament and felt great all day!! I had no fatigue and tons of energy. I have no doubt BioGenix was to credit for our winning the tournament.

I wish I had this product during my years as a resident in the hospital. Running around for 24 hours in a hospital often resulted in muscle cramps the next day. I feel that BioGenix Optimal Hydration certainly would have made post-call days easier. I still take overnight calls in the hospital and plan on using BioGenix Optimal Hydration to keep me from getting dehydrated.

I started using the Biogenix drops in my water a year ago during volleyball tournaments. I immediately noticed a difference in my energy and focus on the court, so I started using it for practice too. Now I put the drops in my water bottle for school everyday and have improved alertness and focus on and off the court

When I’m on the volleyball court I only drink water and adding Biogenix to my water gives me the immediate hydration and the energy I need to stay focused.

I bought my first bottle in November 2009 at Al Hanneman’s beach volleyball event at Club Med Turkoise. I just wanted to tell you how great it is. I use a portion of an eyedropper in my large water bottle for every workout, which I do 5 times per week. I use filtered tap water with Optimal Vertical. I train in three sports: volleyball, judo and table tennis.

This bottle looks small but is actually huge. I haven’t even used half of it yet, three months in. So it’s very economical. The small bottle is easy to travel with. I think of Optimal Vertical like a sports drink, but with more complete electrolytes and without sweeteners. I don’t like the taste of Gatorade or similar products. I don’t want sugar or artificial sweeteners.

I sometimes practice at facilities that disallow liquids in except water. Optimal Vertical is the perfect stealth sports drink.

There are so many benefits from one on one training, all of which I have experienced through Dr. Corrado Cultrera. Right from the beginning, Dr C determined my athleticism, looked at my goals as a player and developed a plan for improvement. For several years I had struggled with “jumpers’ knee”, and I probably should have been concerned about starting a training program during the volleyball season. About a year ago was when I started training with Dr C two or three times weekly, along with volleyball practice 3 – 4 times a week. This was huge because I wasn’t bothered by my knees, they were improving! In fact, I had never been that physically fit before and, as a result, I was performing better as an athlete! Recently I went back to my former physiotherapist and chiropractor/Active Release Practitioner – they both commented on how much strength I had gained and it was very obvious to them that my knees were greatly improved.

When I left at the end of each training session, I was exhausted but I knew I had accomplished something. We always end our sessions on a positive note and without exception, I looked forward to the next session. Its hard work, but Dr C always keeps it fun, and I always had a smile on my face! Dr C also made some nutritional changes for me, including the supplements to help me continue to progress. The optimal vertical supplements gave me that edge in performance. From keeping me hydrated and tapping into my energy systems, I was able to perform at my best ability and recover quickly. It was amazing how quickly Dr C got significant improvements in my performance. Even though every session was different, it was evident that Dr C had a “game plan” and monitored how I was progressing. In a period of less than 5 months my vertical increased by 8 inches, and I can’t even express how much my athleticism has improved. It’s been a fantastic experience for me, all thanks to Dr Corrado and his fantastic programs.

Corrado and his team (Biogenix) have brought something incredible and ingenious to the sports world. As an athlete this is the perfect combo to re-hydrate and re-fuel to continue to reach your maximum performance!

A few drops in your water or drink of choice during activity gives you the feeling that you have just taken an all-in-one shot of vitamins, oxygen & electrolytes. You feel as if you have an extra oxygen tank to draw from while competing or working out…its fantastic! That may sound funny but its the only way to describe the incredible feeling of this hydration system…and its purely natural without any artificial or energy-boosting ingredients in it. This is important because when I’m training or competing, I feel that water alone isn’t enough, Gatorade & other sports drinks are too sugary and energy drinks tend to spike my performance for inconsistent intervals.

The hydration system is an innovative mix that brings me hydration, natural energy and increased performance in a pure form! The added bonus is that its even effective and great within our everyday lives…after a long night or just to feel hydrated and energized throughout the day!

I have been taking BioGenix products for almost a year now and found the benefits to extremely great in so many ways. Since taking the product, I’ve found my energy levels to increase greatly, allowing me to train and perform harder than before. I’ve also noticed changes in decreased incidents of injury and increase in recovery period for each workout.

As a volleyball player, I previously had a full thickness tear in my hitting shoulder. I had decreased range of motion, power, and speed. Since taking the Optimal Vertical products from BioGenix, I’ve found that I have an increased range of motion, my swinging power has increase along with the speed of my arm. This product had decreased inflammation in the injured area, causing an increase in function. Not only has this product helped me train and become stronger, it has also helped while competing.

The Optimal Hydration package has helped tremendously in keeping energy levels up during competition, and throughout the entire day. As well as replenish lost electrolytes while competing in the sun and heat. I have found that those games near the end of the day that used to be so tiring are now easier since being on Optimal Hydration. I have energy to continue on and play to my best. In my opinion, I believe that BioGenix is the best product out there for athletes, from increasing energy levels, to keeping hydrated, and allowing fast recovery.
