Whether you are an elite or recreational athlete ... a business executive looking for ways of improving your fitness ... or just someone who enjoys keeping in shape, we feel that this information about VAAM hornet juice can be valuable for you.

Confused with all the new 'breakthrough' products out there that promise miraculous improvement? I don't blame you. Athletes and fitness individuals can be easy prey for companies selling nutrients, foods, or drugs that promise the world but don't deliver. Before considering any sports enhancing supplement, you need to do your 'homework'.

So we at VAAM Power are here to assist you in helping you understand all you need to know about VAAM, a unique patented scientific formula from Japan.

But don't take our word for it. Read what our customers have to say about the difference VAAM has made in their athletic performance. They are real people just like you, balancing life and work ... and they still manage to achieve their fitness goals ... with the help of VAAM.

Let's face it. The beauty about endurance sports such as marathons, triathlons and long distance cycling races is that 'older does not mean slower'. The huge number of master endurance athletes who have achieved personal bests performances is testimony to that.

Metabolism slows down the older you get

It's true. Metabolism usually falls with age. In other words, older people on average burn fewer calories per pound of bodyweight than do younger people. This is because of less lean body mass. The metabolic demand for oxygen and caloric needs decline. Body fat is passive; it just sits there as a storage form of body energy.

The important thing people aged 35 and above should remember is that a supple, injury-free muscle can produce more power, train for longer and recover quicker - no matter how old it is! Since VAAM helps reduces lactic acid build up, this means that you will have less chances of damage to the muscle fibers, reducing muscle injury. VAAM transforms your passive body fat into energy which helps improve your endurance and stamina (more information on fat used as energy later).

This is good news if you belong to the 'Masters Age Group'. With the help of VAAM, when you race in an endurance event - not only will you be able to beat your own peer group but in some cases, beat your younger counterparts as well.

Read why some of our 'Master Class' customers the are happily taking VAAM...

VAAM was a crucial factor in helping Japanese marathoner Naoko Takahashi win Gold in the Sydney Olympics. Takahashi is the 2000 Olympics Women's Marathon Gold Medalist and Winner of the 2001 Berlin Marathon. You will find several news articles (see below) talking about her amazing victory (setting the Olympic record of 2:24:14) and revealing that the 'secret to her success' was from this unique sports formula derived from Japanese hornets.

Takahashi genuinely endorsed VAAM because she actually drinks it ... not because of a fat paycheck!

Today's Olympians are free to collect endorsement checks. You can see how pervasive such endorsement deals are when you watch the games. Whenever athletes finish a race, they quickly wear a cap or shirt so that in any TV shot the name of their sponsor is shown to viewers. Their endorsement deals require them to do that.

But not Takahashi. She told the press that VAAM was the key to her Olympic victory because she was a regular user of the Japanese sports formula, not because she was paid by the company that produces VAAM.

Thanks to her legendary marathon coach, Yoshio Koide. Koide discovered the VAAM formula. He made it part of the scientific marathon training for Takahashi. Koide also coached Yuki Arimori, Barcelona Olympics Marathon Silver Medalist, who also benefited from VAAM.

"VAAM is very effective in sustaining stamina and energy, I had tried everything before... but nothing worked very well" says Koide.

It was only after 4 months when the sports drink company signed the petite gold medalist to advertise their product.

Read some excerpts from news articles around the world and see why Takahashi and VAAM created a buzz in the 2000 Olympics and in the 2001 Berlin Marathon.

VAAM (Vespa Amino Acid Mixture) is a unique sports formula discovered by Japanese biochemist Dr. Takashi Abe. VAAM is based on the same nutrient system used by Japanese giant hornets known scientifically as Vespa mandarina japonica.

Abe and other researchers have been studying the wasp species to find out what gave them the energy to fly up to 100km per day at 20 miles per hour. This would be the equivalent of a human running over two full marathons.

After isolating the energy source of the hornet as an acidic juice found in the hornets' stomachs, the researchers started testing it on lab animals then on human athletes. They found that the elixir had astonishing powers to boost human stamina.

Abe said "Our experiment showed that the hornet juice helped lab animals and humans to transfer fat into energy more efficiently and this is very important in helping athlete's performance." The hornet juice, made up of amino acids reduced human fatigue, slowed down the build up of lactic acid and improved body's efficiency.

There are two primary sources of energy in your body -- glycogen and fat stored by the body. Glycogen is easily burned within short periods of time and serves as a source of stamina in events that require burst of energy. The disadvantage here is in the amount of glycogen reserves. A mere 450 grams -- approximately 1,800 kilo calories of glycogen is stored in your body (this may vary according to individual body types).

Glycogen is not enough for long period of exercise. Alternatively fat is stored in abundance by the body although it requires large amounts of oxygen and is generally difficult to convert into energy.

Even the slimmest marathon runner can use her low body fat for energy!

Take a marathon runner weighing 130lbs with only about 5% body fat. This calculates to approximately 27,000 kilo calories of energy reserves. This is enough energy to run a full marathon consuming 3,000 kilo calories, nine times over!

This make fat an abundant source of energy and stamina for endurance sports. Enter VAAM...

Because of VAAM's optimum combination of 17 amino acids, VAAM activates the metabolism of fat for energy on the onset of your physical activity. What happens is that glycogen is conserved. This enables you to maintain a steady pace to the very end. You will be able to call on bursts of power (on reserve) when you most need them.

Improve your athletic performance --- and lose extra body fat!

One bonus from using VAAM is that you can lose extra body fat as a result of fat metabolized as your energy source from the start of your activity. A lot of recreational and elite athletes don't need to lose weight. But VAAM would be helpful if you are the type of person who spends countless hours exercising every day trying to lose weight, yet find it difficult to drop off the pounds.

Scientific studies of swimming and cycling endurance have been conducted using lab animals and humans with VAAM versus other nutrient formulas. These tests have proven that consumption of VAAM results in longer swimming times. This performance gap can be verified by data on levels of lactic acid and free fatty acids in the blood. (You can find the full report on the Scientific Studies on VAAM in this website)

Depending on the quantity of VAAM you order, one serving of VAAM costs approximately US$2.40. This is more expensive than most sports drinks. It is not inexpensive, but here's why VAAM is still a sports nutrition supplement that's actually good value for your money...

A little VAAM can go a long way

For an average athlete, just one serving of VAAM powder mixed with water is recommended for a 1 - 1 1/2 hour training session. Do you notice you tend to consume more than one serving of your favorite electrolyte or complex carbohydrate drink since you can take it before, during and after training? VAAM is not like other conventional sports drinks. It is the first sports drink to focus on the energy reserve in your body instead of merely quenching thirst and supplementing energy with complex carbohydrates. This means you do not require to consume several servings to improve your performance.

Unlike other commercial sports supplements readily available in your local health store, you will not be able to buy VAAM in the US, Europe or anywhere in the world except Japan.
