Proanox Bay Area Info Session

I've been meaning to post about this for a number of weeks now, but life, as usual, got in the way!  If you follow me on Instagram, you already know, but I am lucky and proud to share that I am now sponsored by Proanox!  (After reading this, go to their website: proanox.com, and use the code "allison5" to get a discount on the goods!)  I'm going to try not to sound like an infomercial, but the products are awesome so I want to share!
 Proanox is a local company started by former Olympic, semi-pro and gifted amateur athletes and run by CEO Jerry Breen.  After looking for safe, effective ways to boost performance, there weren't any. So they created a line of all-natural supplements formulated to allow you to train harder and recover faster.

I was introduced to Proanox by my friend and trainer Brian from Fitness Never Sleeps training center.  He has been using their product, Biogenesis, for a while and thought that it would really help my tri training.  When he set up a meeting for me with Jerry, I didn't want to just walk into the meeting blind, never having used the products, so I bought a 2 week sample of the flagship product, Biogenesis.  Brian told me that it was magic, and I couldn't agree more.

Biogenesis is a packet of 8 pills that you take twice a day.  The pills are all natural and have 11 performance- and health-enhancing plant compounds. The pills are basically formulated to "increase exercise capacity, reduce inflammation, improve recovery (less soreness after exercise) and increase growth of lean muscle mass." (from the Proanox info brochure).  Basically, it helps speed up the recovery process and helps muscles and cells perform at their best on a much more frequent basis.

Within 5 days of starting to use Biogenesis, I could absolutely feel a difference in how my body was reacting to my training sessions.  Usually if I did a hard/long run or a hilly bike session, I would feel residual soreness for a few days after and at times, it affected the quality of my subsequent workouts.  I wouldn't be able to get the full effect of my sessions because I was still so sore from the day or 2 before.  AFTER starting Biogenesis, that residual soreness all but disappeared!  I was able to get in quality workouts each training session.  Also, training at FNS would be tough to combine with tri training.  Before Biogenesis, a FNS class would leave my muscles absolutely wrecked (in the best way possible) but would ruin any endurance training that I had scheduled for the next day or two.  After Biogenesis, I will still feel my FNS workouts, but not in a way that inhibits my tri (and now marathon) training.

I know that people (myself included) take promotions for performance supplements with a grain of salt.  But after using Biogenesis, I can honestly tell you that I can't imagine training without the stuff.  So, I am absolutely stoked and honored to be working with this awesome company.   Jerry is super passionate about the company and producing the best quality and most effective products around.  Proanox has a lot of new research going on and some new innovative (and still all natural) products up their sleeve.  **Side note - Biogenesis isn't the only product, but it's the pillar of the store.  I also use the Extreme Electrolyte Recovery powder after my workouts, and the Omega3 with CQ10 supplements.  And there are multi vitamins, pre workout and creatine supplements too.***

For any of you folks in the bay area, Proanox's head researcher and Director of Science Dr. Loren Bertocci will be leading an info session THIS SATURDAY to explain all of the sciency stuff that makes Biogenesis work.
