| Running testimonials:
"I have used VAAM on a couple of long training runs. It definitely gives me a boost! Two weekends ago (3/15) I ran a short 5 mile race...This past weekend I did a half-marathon (two bowls of cereal for breakfast), one "GU" at about the 10 mile mark, had a good kick and a descent recovery.
Mike Piatchek, MO, USA
"I wanted to let you know, that I have already received my VAAM supply. Thanks for your care. I have used it once - during my Sunday long run - 17miles, and I felt great. I will try it couple more times, just to make sure that it was not only psychological, and if the effect persists, I will certainly order some more."
Martin Guttmann, USA
"Just a quick note to say thanks for a great product, and a great service. I don't know what you put in this product, but I have been using VAAM once a week before my Sunday long run in the desert environment I live in Arizona, and not only has I gained dramatic amount of speed and endurance but I also get the feeling like I am drifting on the wings of a bird or in this case big hornet. I swear that this product produces unique feeling that hard to describe until you try the product. Running in the desert just feels remarkably easy! I can climb hills without any hesitation, and I don't feel tired. Rest assured that I would be using VAAM conscientiously in my routine runs. I am very happy with you product..."
