EXCITING RESEARCH SHOWS A BREAKTHROUGH IN METABOLITE SHIFTS LENDING TO INCREASED FREE FATTY ACIDS AS FUEL SOURCE ALONG WITH A POTENTIAL GLYCOGEN SPARING EFFECT!
The research, conducted by the renowned Human Performance Laboratory at Appalachian State University, validates what ASEA drinkers all around the world already know: ASEA has profound positive benefits to the body. In fact, the research findings were so profound that even the scientists doing the research were astonished by the results. I’ve been using ASEA in my training and racing for the last two years and have noticed substantial benefits. The primary one being a bolstered immune system that has allowed me to only ‘get sick’ once over the last two years! Not counting my recent three week viral infection that occurred when I decided to “pack light” and reduce my ASEA usage right before my first big race of this year. Not smart. I got sick. The positive side of it is that this reinforced to me the importance of the product in my daily routine. The other ‘performance’ benefit I’ve noticed in my training is increased endurance and ability to train at a higher output compared to heart rate (a way to gauge the effect of ones effort on the body). I wasn’t sure what was accounting for this performance benefit, but I have suspected that improving my metabolic utilization of fat for fuel (thus sparing glycogen) was a possibility. This new research now proves that my own reported benefits are in fact occurring and that it is due to improved fat utilization! That is BIG news as improving and endurance athletes ability to utilize fats for fuel is objective number one in training. ASEA actually provides a similar benefit that is found from miles and miles of aerobic training! Pretty rad.

In addition to footwear and all the stock clothing product I need, long time clothing/shoe sponsor, Pearl Izumi, is making me a custom kit for racing and training this year! I think it looks great and it’s my first uniform with my name on it. Pretty cool and I’m very thankful for Pearl Izumi’s continued generous support of not only myself, but also providing discounts for my EPC Team and Club members. Thank you Jason Armknect and Kody Riley at Pearl!
I am also grateful to have the support of my new sponsor ASEA this year. Without the support from them (and my mom who made the connections for me) I would be riding in the luggage bay of the airplanes and sleeping in the transition areas at the races. If you are looking for a way to increase your aerobic capacity, recovery capabilities and immune system, you have to try this stuff out. Check the ASEA review from last summer in Road Bike Action Magazine. The ASEA product is incredible and I’m thrilled to be representing them in 2011!

I was introduced to a new product last summer called ASEA. It touted big claims of increasing your body’s ability to utilize oxygen, improve cellular regeneration for better recovery, and improve overall health through enhanced antioxidant usage. The science behind these benefits comes from the actions of Redox Signaling Molecules, a relatively new discoverey in the human body that activates antioxidants through appropriate reduction and oxidation of free radicals and the naturally occurring antioxidants surrounding our cells. The ASEA scientists figured out (accidentally, I’m told) how to bottle these molecules, that until now only were found stable inside the human body. I wasn’t totally sure what all this meant (still learning in fact) when I was introduced to it, but the performance benefits the studies reported were hard to ignore, so I wanted to try it out for myself. I can say that I did notice an improvement of recovery between hard efforts in training and racing as well as improved endurance at higher intensities. I went on to have some of my best racing of the season last year and feel like ASEA contributed to to the performances. So convinced, I decided to get more of the stuff for 2011.
