asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2005/01/25, 08:03 AM I jusrt read an article on this herbal suppplemnet and it makes some fantastic claims, most are backed by research. I was wondering if anyone has tried this? To summarize, they have found it helps with the following: Fighting Fatigue Improving physical performance - it boosts the activity of your mitochondria. Easing depression - for mild to moderate cases Treating impotence/loss of libedo Enhancing immunity Boosting brain power. The doctors quoted in the article prescribe it to patients suffering from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, lime disease-like syndromes (unnamed) and depression. It was first used to boost the performance of Russian athletes in the Olympics and for astronauts. I am going to do a web search and see what else I can find, but if anyone has tried this i would like to know if it helped them. -------------- Get er done

But different companies use different standards on raw materials so it can be difficult to find quality and the true dose needed. -------------- Keith Hardy CFO Serious Nutrition Solutions LLC keith@seriousnutritionsolutions.com www.seriousnutritionsolutions.com

selgae Posts: 14 Joined: 2005/01/30	2005/01/31, 08:22 AM I've been taking the Muscle Synergy for about a month after reading some good things about the Arginine/beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutarate/Glutamine compound. For example, in studies with HIV patients, there was dramatically less tissue wasting with the use of the compound. I'll try to find the research I was reading and post it later. I would also be interested in reading more if you could suggest a few studies to look into. Can you tell me how long you took Synergy before noticing the benefits? ============ Quoting from BB1FIT: I have used Muscle Synergy by Beverly that contains it quite extensively with great results.

In fact, I found best doseage to be even higher at 10 twice per day. ============ Quoting from selgae: I've been taking the Muscle Synergy for about a month after reading some good things about the Arginine/beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutarate/Glutamine compound.
