How does Athlete Octane™ work?

Athlete Octane™ increases your body’s ability to handle sustained, strenuous activity by providing nutrients that are critical to endurance & recovery and are very hard to obtain from food alone. Athlete Octane™ contains specific, key vitamin and micro-nutrients that are typically lost during endurance activity. The ingredients in Athlete Octane™ perform at the cellular level helping your energy systems neutralize the free-radical damage associated with the stress of exercise. Replenishing these complex nutrients is often the absolute key to performance.

What is free radical damage?

Free Radicals are the unavoidable waste products produced by exercise that can cause soreness and fatigue, reduce endurance and increase recovery time. The potent network of antioxidants in Athlete Octane™ help neutralize the performance robbing effects of free radicals.

How will Athlete Octane™ make me feel?

Every athlete has various positive comments regarding how Athlete Octane™ makes him or her feel, although most comment on an increased ability to maintain a high output and less post-workout soreness and fatigue. "It just increases my ability to go hard.", is a comment heard most often. Athlete Octane™ will not cause any "jitters" or "buzz"; instead it may prevent you from experiencing some of the negative effects of intense exercise.

Will Athlete Octane™ replace my current energy drink?

No. Athlete Octane™ is not an energy drink. It is a nutritional supplement. It does not provide the needed calories for endurance activity. It is intended to be used in conjunction with your endurance fueling plan. You need the right balance of carbohydrates and protein intake for your particular endurance activity.

Will Athlete Octane™ replace my current electrolyte supplement?

No. Athlete Octane™ is not an electrolyte replacement. Although Athlete Octane™ contains calcium it does not include the additional electrolytes needed for endurance activity. It is intended to be used in conjunction with your electrolyte replacement plan. You need to pay attention to your balance of electrolytes, especially in warmer climates.

Why would I want to use nutritional supplements?

As an endurance athlete, you utilize more vitamins and micro-nutrients than the average person. Also, as we age our body does not synthesize nutrients as efficiently as it once did. Replacing key nutrients is very difficult, if not impossible to do with diet alone. Massive farming practices, "fast" or highly processed foods have robbed our diets of the nutrients required for optimum performance and health. Adding athletic stress on top of dietary deficiencies and its easy to understand how we can run our energy, recovery, and immune systems down.

Is Athlete Octane™ safe?

Absolutely. Most of the ingredients in Athlete Octane™ are already found in your body. There are no negative side effects with any of the nutrients found in Athlete Octane™. Athlete Octane™ is manufactured in a state-inspected facility that utilizes a strict GMP protocol.

Does Athlete Octane™ contain any stimulants?

No. While stimulants like caffeine, guarana, ginseng, ma huang (ephedrine) and others provide the user with a quick burst of energy and may even provide some lasting endurance benefits. Stimulants will more often than not let you down in the critical hours of a race. Most stimulants are known diuretics and really have no place in sustained endurance activity.

Is Athlete Octane™ legal for sanctioned competitions?

Yes. Many supplement manufacturers are facing negative exposure by including trace amounts of illegal substances such as androstendione and other pre-hormones in supplements and not telling you about it. These illegal compounds end up in many supplements by faulty manufacturing processes and can cause an innocent athlete to be disqualified, fined and even banned from competition. THE MANUFACTURER OF ATHLETE OCTANE™ DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE BANNED SUBSTANCE IN THE BUILDING AND NEVER HAS. The state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment used to manufacture Athlete Octane™ has never seen a trace of any banned substances. If it’s not in the building, it’s not in the supplement and it’s not in your body. If you’re currently taking a supplement, ask the manufacturer what else goes through the machines that make it. We bet you’ll be surprised. We take the extra step to ensure the efficacy of Octane by commissioning expensive independent screening by an accredited laboratory for specific banned substances.

Are any professional athletes taking Athlete Octane™?

Absolutely! Not only are the pros taking Athlete Octane™, they helped design it. We worked with national and world-caliber endurance athletes to ensure Athlete Octane™ would perform under the most strenuous conditions. See our web site for a list of pros who make Athlete Octane™ part of their program and why they do.

Why is a liquid endurance supplement better?

This is our favorite question and the answer is in multiple parts. You can buy multiple bottles of pills, figure out how many pills of each formula you need then take a handful of pills, or you can take 1oz of liquid. When given the choice, most athletes would choose the convenience of a liquid in a single bottle over multiple bottles and 10-15 pills. Secondly, liquids absorb quicker and more completely, and are far easier to take before and WHILE YOU’RE TRAINING AND RACING. Try to swallow a handful of pills while you're chasing the finish line. Those who’ve tried it know exactly what they’re in for.

What’s in Athlete Octane™ and why does it work so well?

This answer is too long for this FAQ sheet. A list of ingredients and the reasons we put them in Athlete Octane™ appears elsewhere on our web site. We partnered a group of nutrients that may spare glycogen, increase fat-burning for energy, buffer lactic acid, support healthy heart and muscle function, reduce soreness and fatigue without causing any harmful side effects.

How does Athlete Octane™ taste?

We spent a great deal of time developing the taste of Athlete Octane™ and we think you’ll be pleased. Trust us, mingling the tastes of over 10 potent nutrients was a real challenge, but we think we pulled it off quite nicely. It has a light orange-cinnamon flavor and it is very easy to take. Keep in mind that while a palatable product is very important, we made sure to keep away from artificial sweeteners or flavors because they don’t add any real benefit to the formula. Octane tastes best if kept in the refrigerator.

Is Athlete Octane™ for kids?

We do not recommend Athlete Octane for anyone under the age of 21. Young people have a remarkable capacity for dealing with the stresses of exercise without the help of nutritional supplements. We believe young people should focus on understanding what is involved with eating a healthy diet, working within a smart, supervised, age-and-sport-appropriate training program as well as getting constant encouragement to succeed. Athlete Octane is designed to work for the adult athlete who is often not as efficient as a younger athlete at dealing with the demands of training and competition.

How do I take Athlete Octane™?

Just shake the bottle vigorously, pour an ounce of Athlete Octane™ into the cap and swallow. Take a little with you in your water bottle or gel flask. Or take Octane with you in a small flask (we call them Octane batteries and they’re free for the asking). It’s really that easy. You can save your time for training and stop messing with bottles and bottles of pills. Every bottle of Athlete Octane™ also comes with advanced instructions.

I noticed Athlete Octane™ separates after I pour it. Why is this?

This is normal and why we have you shake the bottle vigorously before pouring. Athlete Octane™ contains fat-soluble nutrients like Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin E. When a nutrient is classified as fat-soluble it means the presence of fat is required for the assimilation of the nutrient in the body (water-soluble meaning the presence of water is required for proper absorption). We have included a small amount of grape seed oil in the formula to allow for effective absorption of the above nutrients. The base of the Athlete Octane™ is distilled water which, after shaking, separates from the grape seed oil. This is completely natural and does not effect the formula.

How long does it take Athlete Octane™ to work?

With regular, daily dosing most athletes feel a difference in their training such as a lower heart-rate during intervals and less soreness in about a week to 10 days. This is the average time needed for some of our nutrients to reach serum concentration levels in the body (once there these levels will remain plateaued with daily dosing). The variance is, in part, related to your individual body chemistry. Some of our athletes have taken as long as three weeks to notice the Athlete Octane™ before the first signs of improvement are noticed. Some of our athletes notice the Octane difference in a day or two. So give Athlete Octane™ at least a month before evaluating whether or not its working for you.

Should I take other supplements with Athlete Octane™?

We feel other supplements for increasing your endurance won’t be necessary, so say "later" to expensive "supplement systems". We do however recommend a good multi-vitamin , additional vitamin C, and green-food supplement to support your diet. After your 3rd purchase of Athlete Octane™, you’re automatically enrolled in Team Octane and eligible for up to 50% off other select, top-quality supplements that complement Athlete Octane™

How can I take Athlete Octane™ with me while I’m training and racing?

Two ways: You can either add Athlete Octane™ to a water bottle, gel flask, or take 1/2oz doses with you in an Athlete Octane™ flask (a.k.a. Octane Battery). We recommend taking 1/2oz every 2 hours during strenuous training or racing.

Can I add Athlete Octane™ to an energy drink?

Of course. Just estimate the duration of your race or training session, and add 1/2oz of Athlete Octane™ for every 2hrs of activity to your energy drink . No more popping pills while you're training or racing! However, you may miss some absorption of certain ingredients that are best absorbed sublingually (under the tongue). We prefer to carry Octane in 1/2oz Octane Batteries (mini-flasks).

Why should I take Athlete Octane™ even if I’m not training that day?

The positive effects of Athlete Octane™ are cumulative. This means that you need to build and maintain a supply of the nutrients in Athlete Octane™ for it to be fully effective. Doing so requires that you take Athlete Octane™ every day.

Why did you choose the ingredients in Athlete Octane™?

We looked at the safest, best performing endurance "supplement systems" on the market, "weeded-out" those that had no scientific support and refined the formula from there. The ingredients in Athlete Octane™ have been in use in endurance competition for over a decade, but have never been available in an easy-to-use and affordable product. We saw a need to combine the best formulas in the field and put an end to the need to take handfuls of pills. A complete ingredient profile and support is available on our web site.

What’s the shelf life of Athlete Octane™?

Athlete Octane™ will last for one year unopened if kept in the refrigerator. Once opened, it will last for 2 months if kept in the refrigerator. Please keep the formula out of heat and light to maintain potency. You can travel with Octane at room temperature for up to a week at a time, but we recommend refrigeration whenever possible.

What makes Athlete Octane™ different than other products?

There are many details that separate Athlete Octane™ from other endurance supplements. The most important are effectiveness, cost and convenience. Not only does Athlete Octane™ absorb better because it's a liquid, it’s also far easier to take and up to 75% less expensive than the competition. We also elected to use ingredients that are backed by scientific studies and stay away from ingredients that don’t have a shred of scientific support.

What will happen if I stop taking Athlete Octane™?

There are no side-effects if you’ve been taking Athlete Octane™ for any period of time and stop taking it. You will however, notice that your energy levels, recovery rate and other positive improvements in your performance may slowly return to the levels they were before you started taking Athlete Octane™.
