Testimonal from Matt BenDaniel

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.

BioGenix Athlete, Renee LaRocque, Competes in Mexico

Recently, BioGenix Athlete, Renee LaRocque, competed in Manzanillo, Mexico in the NORCECA Beach Tournament. Here is what she said about the experience....

"We had a great trip to Manzanillo. The weather was so hot and humid, that would be sweating just standing there. We were so glad to have Biogenix products to help keep us hydrated, our electrolytes up and full of energy. The tournament started with us playing St. Lucia where we beat them in two sets 21-9 and 21-11. Our second match with met up with Cuba who actually won the gold medal in that tourney. Their game and serve was on. Had some good plays but couldn't pull that one through. Our third match was against El Salvador. Had a rough start but couldn't pull it through in time. We ended up coming in 9th. Played some great ball, against great teams and learned alot, especially learning to play with a constant stream of sweat :) Now we are back to the cold and wishing we were still in Mexico! Looking forward to the next one!"

"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 Vertical system. I highly recommend it to any competitive volleyball player or endurance sport athlete! Thanks for a great product!"
