In our personal experiments, we have taken them every three or four hours for the duration of the athletic performance. » […]

If you do use it, you may be able to avoid diarrhea by beginning at a low dose and increasing the amount gradually. Choline chloride (also called choline hydrochloride) does not have this […]
GENERAL STAMINA can be greatly increased in a short period of time. For example, calcium pantothenate, the anti stress and life extension vitamin, has been shown to increase total muscular output: (stamina rather than peak output) in frog leg muscles-suspended in a pantothenate solution. Rats taking pantothenate supplements increase their total muscular work output very […]

As mentioned earlier, Dr. W. Donner Denckla thinks he has discovered a death clock in the pituitary gland of the brain. If he removes this gland from mice and supplies them with the pituitary’s growth hormone and thyroid hormone (which would normally be produced and released in response to pituitary hormonal messages), the animals live […]
