How It Works
EPO-BOOST™ safely stimulates your body’s natural production of the erythropoietin (EPO) hormone. EPO
increases the body’s oxygen carrying capacity and has been shown in controlled human clinical studies to
significantly increase athletic performance and endurance.
EPO-BOOST™ is a scientifically formulated, patent-pending nutritional supplement created with one
goal in mind: to help endurance athletes train and perform at their best.
When we were formulating EPO-BOOST™, we made sure to include only proven nutrients for increasing EPO and
red blood cells. When this happens athletes obtain dramatic gains in endurance and performance.
The active ingredients in the patent-pending formula address the four major limitations on red blood
cell production; namely, EPO levels, red blood cell nutrients, iron availability, and inflammation.
EPO
Production
Echinacea Purpurea: Echinacea is an herb that stimulates your immune system
and your kidneys to make more EPO. In the long run, this results in more red blood cells…and peak performance.
Four capsules of EPO-BOOST™ endurance supplement provides 8 grams
of echinacea purpurea, an amount shown to significantly increase EPO production in athletes.
Red Blood Cell Nutrients
To help your body produce more red blood cells, it needs the raw materials to make them. That’s why
scientists developed a specific formula of vitamins and minerals that ensure additional EPO results in extra
RBCs.
Here’s how certain vitamins and minerals can bolster red blood cell
production:
 Vitamin B-6 (Pyrodixine):
A red blood cell is useless without hemoglobin. That’s because hemoglobin is the part of a red blood cell that
oxygen attaches to. Research published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry discovered that vitamin B6 is
essential for hemoglobin to form. In other words, if you don’t get enough vitamin B6, your red blood cells can’t
carry the oxygen you need.
B-12 and Folic Acid: If you’re deficient in either vitamin B12 or folic acid,
new red blood cells are “born” misshapen and malfunctioning. This can actually make oxygen transport worse than
before. That’s why you need to get supplemental doses of both B12 and Folic Acid. If you do, your new red blood
cells become the hard-working oxygen carriers they are supposed to be.
Vitamin B-3: Here’s another vitamin that your body needs in order to pump out
new, healthy red blood cells. A daily dose of Vitamin B-3 helps your body produce new red blood cells at a faster
clip.
Boron: Boron might not get a lot of press, but it’s emerging as a mineral
that can help athletes of all kinds. Its beneficial effects stem from the fact that boron can naturally help your
body make more red blood cells than it could without extra Boron.
Inositol: You may be making more red blood cells, but it doesn’t mean that
they’ll last. In fact, the lifespan of red blood cells is about 90 days. By taking inositol you’ll be creating
stronger red blood cells – making them work longer for you.
Iron Availability Complex
In reality, oxygen doesn’t bind directly to the red blood cell – it binds to the iron in hemoglobin
in the red blood cell. Therefore, you need several sources of dietary iron to make functioning red blood cells.
 Iron: Proper iron intake ensures that red blood cells properly carry
oxygen around the body. It’s been shown in over 4,000 research studies that iron deficiency impairs oxygen
transport and athletic performance. In fact, iron isn’t an ingredient that’s merely optimal for enhancing
endurance – it’s absolutely necessary.
Dandelion and Yellow Dock: To get even more iron, it’s important to take
these natural botanical extracts from two of the most iron-dense plants known to man: dandelion and yellow dock.
These two herbs ensure that your body gets enough iron for its brand new red blood cells.
Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, and Nickel: It’s one thing to take extra iron, but
absorbing it from the gut is something else altogether. Believe it or not, but your body only absorbs about 10% of
the iron that you eat. That is, unless you supplement with vitamin C, vitamin B3 and Nickel – a trio of nutrients
that help your body absorb more of the iron that you consume.
Anti-Inflammatory Complex (Anti-Oxidants)
After a particularly tough workout or event (aren’t they all?), your body has taken a big hit. Its
muscles are worn and torn, your energy reserves are depleted, and your joints are flaring up from stress and
strain. Your body has one, and one way only, of dealing with all of this: inflammation.
 Although inflammation is essential for recovery in small doses–unchecked
inflammation makes recovering a real challenge. If you’ve ever had a period of time where your training
suffered and it took you forever to bounce back, it’s likely that inflammation was the culprit.
Worse yet, unchecked inflammation makes your body more prone to oxidation – a harmful process shown
to get in the way of new muscle growth and adaptation to training. Not only that, but inflammation and oxidation
can be roadblocks to new red blood cell development – causing a vicious cycle that puts the brakes on your
progress.
Luckily, there are a handful of nutrients that are able to combat exercise-induced oxidation and
inflammation; allowing you to get back on your feet and increase your EPO production.
Alpha Lipoic Acid: Let’s be honest, there are thousands of antioxidants out there.
The thing is the vast majority haven’t been tested on athletes. This can’t be said for Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA).
A clinical research study published in The Journal of Physiological Sciences found that ALA was
able to plummet oxidation and inflammation in athletes under intense training conditions. ALA does double duty for
your body by fighting both inflammation and oxidation. So you’ll be doing your performance a huge favor by
including ALA in your supplement regimen.
 Lutein: Lutein has been studied in an astounding 1,000 published
research articles. That’s because lutein is one of the most powerful antioxidants known to man. In study after
study, lutein has effectively fought oxidation and inflammation all over the body.
Lycopene: Like lutein, lycopene has been intensely researched. Lycopene,
found in tomatoes, fights oxidation through a number of different pathways. This makes it a preferred antioxidant
for elite athletes.
Choline: Choline is an amazing antioxidant. Not only does it fight oxidative
damage, but according to a study out of the University of Lisbon, it actually improves blood flow and nitric oxide
(NO) production. In case you didn’t know, nitric oxide is one of the most important chemicals in your body for
improving muscle contraction and increasing blood flow to muscles.
PABA: Along with its trademark antioxidant properties, PABA is able to make
blood vessels more fluid – helping blood (and oxygen) travel to your fatigued muscles.
Although this cutting edge research is astounding, until very recently, it wasn’t the least bit
practical.
That is until a team of biomedical engineers at Biomedical Research Laboratories
came together to design a supplement for endurance athletes to help them naturally and safely boost your bodie's
natural EPO.
