How It Works
A combination of natural performance enhancers, red blood cell nutrients, a potent iron availability complex and antioxidants to reduce inflammation make up our unique formulation. VO2-Boost improves sprint performance; increases VO2 max, lactate threshold, speed and power; delays fatigue; prevents muscle damage; and speeds recovery*

Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb that can increase resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety and fatigue. Rhodiola rosea grows at high altitude in the arctic regions of Europe and Asia.
Vikings used it to enhance physical strength and endurance. Russians drink rhodiola tea as an energy booster. Sherpas have used it to climb Mt. Everest. Recently there have been many studies conducted to test rhodiola’s affect on endurance. Rhodiola also has been shown to increase circulation and protects against oxygen deprivation, improving endurance and strength.
Clinical studies on endurance athletes have shown that the rosavins in rhodiola play a critical role in helping the body adapt to high levels of physical stress.
Highly prized by Chinese emperors for its restorative and energizing properties, cordyceps sinensis is a medicinal mushroom usually harvested in the mountain ranges of Tibet and Nepal.
Numerous clinical studies have shown that the mushroom increases energy, stamina and endurance levels as well as oxygen-carrying capacity (VO2 max). It also combats weakness and fatigue and boosts lung function and capacity.
Quercetin works by naturally triggering the body’s ability to produce more real energy. A powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory flavonoid found in many fruits and vegetables, quercetin has been shown to significantly increase endurance capacity and maximal oxygen capacity (VO2 max).
Studies have shown that beta-alanine can help cyclists sprint faster at the end of a race.
Beta-alanine is a precursor to the dipeptide carnosine. Its job is to work as a buffer in the muscle cells. With high-intensity exercise, muscle cells produce excess hydrogen. Carnosine neutralizes the hydrogen that otherwise inhibits metabolism when concentrations get too high. As a result, the muscles can perform at a high level for longer periods.
Echinacea is an herb that stimulates your immune system and kidneys to make more EPO. In the long run, this results in more red blood cells … and peak performance.
Four capsules of VO2-Boost endurance supplement provides 8 grams of echinacea purpurea, an amount shown to significantly increase EPO production and running economy (VO2 max) in athletes.
To help produce more red blood cells, your body needs the raw materials to make them. It’s critical to take a specific mix of vitamins and minerals that ensure additional EPO results in extra RBCs. VO2-Boost provides all the nutrients essential for sufficient red blood cell production.
Red blood cells require iron to carry oxygen in the blood. VO2-Boost provides iron for proper red blood cell formation. You need several sources of dietary iron to make functioning red blood cells.
Proper iron intake ensures that red blood cells efficiently carry oxygen throughout the body. More than 4,000 research studies have shown that iron deficiency impairs oxygen transport and athletic performance. In fact, iron isn’t an ingredient that’s merely optimal for enhancing endurance – it’s absolutely necessary.
After a particularly tough workout or event, your body can take a big hit. Your muscles are worn and torn, your energy reserves are depleted and your joints are flaring up from stress and strain. Your body has only one way of dealing with all of this: inflammation.
Although some inflammation is essential for recovery, if unchecked inflammation it can make recovering a real challenge. Inflammation makes your body more prone to oxidation, a harmful process shown to inhibit new muscle growth and adaptation to training.
Inflammation and oxidation can also be roadblocks to new red blood cell development, causing a vicious cycle that short-circuits your progress.
