gruppo said:Haven't tried that product, but here is a link to Amino Vital which I have been using for about a month, and I find it really does work. Plus, it has some pretty good research behind it.
I have had a number of occasions to ride with and without using it, and I can definitely tell the difference. It's available at drugstore.com and at GNC stores.

gruppo said:Ric, I respect your opinion, but I also know that I would hate to live in a world where innovation and efficacy were based solely on scientific merit. Many of todays trusted procedures and medicines were at one time disdained as not having scientific basis -- acupuncture and shark cartilage are among them. Just this year, leeches and maggots were approved as medical devices by the FDA -- imagine that!
I agree that science should be basis for viewing "new innovations" with skepticism, but that does not mean that science is the holy grail. Sometimes you have to try things yourself and decide if it works or not.
