This winter I have been conducting an experiment to see if I could prove if UltraGen would make a difference for me, a middle aged MOP AGer.  I started using UltraGen in December.  I have tried two flavors (Fruit Punch and Orange Creamsicle) and the flavor grew on me (I prefer Orange Creamsicle), they also have Cappuccino.  I drank a water bottle of UltraGen within 30 min after my last workout of the day.  

Prior to starting I took some baseline data for comparison:

Vitals Age 39 Weight 169

1) 40 K time trial on my CompuTrainer: 1:04:14, 24.84 miles, ave 260 watt,s and ave BPM 170 Max BPM 191
2) 90 min HR ride on CompuTrainer: 1:30:00 30.30 miles, ave 160 watts, HR 115-124 max ave 118 BPM
3) 5K : Ran my post 15 year layoff PR 21:12 this morning (11/28/09). No HR data (didn’t bring my watch).

While I haven’t done a 5K since Nov, I have seen noticable improvement on the other two.

1)40 K time trial on my CompuTrainer 1:00:36, 24.84 miles, ave 280 watts, and ave BPM 159 Max 172 (Better yet I ran 7.7 miles about 2 hours prior to this ride)

2)90 min maintaining 120 BPM or lower went 30.82 miles Ave watts 170, Ave BPM 119

I have also clearly noticed how much fresher my legs have felt the day after a hard workout.  I have had 3 of my highest volume months ever on the bike 601 miles in December, 532 miles in January, and 668 miles in February and my legs feel great, no aches or pains and I feel stronger. 

I certainly proved to myself that UltraGen has made a huge difference for me.  I had done the chocolate milk and Whey Protein thing before but UltraGen made a noticeable difference within a few days and has worked great for me.  It passed the feel test and the numbers seem to back it up as well.

I would recommend this product to everyone
