The technology behind Athlete Octane™ was spawned by demand. While endurance athletes enjoyed the benefits of nutritional supplements, the hassle, cost and confusion created a need for a better solution.  The advantages of a liquid endurance supplement are easy to distinguish. The ease of use, savings and convenience are only surpassed by the most important feature of liquid supplements - absorption.

As an endurance athlete, your nutritional needs are far greater than sedentary people. Certain key nutrients, like those formulated in Athlete Octane™, are essential for proper energy creation and are typically lacking in even the best diets.

The US RDA for vitamins and minerals is designed as a guideline to help you avoid nutritional deficiencies, not as a guide for optimal athletic performance. Even if you are getting the RDA for every nutrient, your requirements as an endurance athlete may be much higher.

Even the most balanced, complete diets can lack certain nutrients that could be the key to your performance. Massive farming practices, aimed at massive production are the source for most of the food that ends up in your diet. This food is often devoid of nutrition and nutritional supplements can help make up this deficiency.

Some supplements are not only a bad idea, they’re often dangerous and many are considered illegal by the International Olympic Committee for use in competition. Pre or pro-hormone supplements, stimulants and unsubstantiated concoctions will never make the cut for Athlete Octane™.

Athlete Octane™ is 100% legal
for all forms of sanctioned competition.

Many supplement manufacturers are facing negative exposure by including trace amounts of illegal substances such as androstendione and other pre-hormones in supplements and not telling you about it. These illegal compounds end up in many supplements by faulty manufacturing processes and can cause an innocent athlete to be disqualified, fined and even banned from competition. We take the extra step and contract periodic, independent, third-party testing for banned substances.

ATHLETE OCTANE’S™ MANUFACTURING PLANT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SUPPLEMENTS USING A SINGLE BANNED SUBSTANCE AND NEVER HAS. The state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment used to manufacture Athlete Octane™ has never seen a trace of any banned substances. If it’s not in the building, it’s not in the supplement and it’s not in your body. If you’re currently taking a supplement, ask the manufacturer what else goes through the machines that make it and how they deal with cleaning their machinery. We bet you’ll be surprised.

Douglas J. Hallett, Ph.D.
"I tried the endurance pill supplements as a Vet-expert XC mtn biker, Pro-downhill and now a motocross racer, but the cost was too high and they were hard to swallow. Now having been on the Athlete Octane for 8 months I feel great, whether it is training hard on the cross country mtn bike or racing motocross at intense levels, I have the energy and reserves for hard efforts. It tastes good, enables you able to train hard, and more importantly, obtain the results you want in endurance competition. It is a great way for 30 plus athletes to maintain their health and speed their recovery after sustained training or racing."

Jimmy Riccitello
Professional Triathlete
"There are no shortcuts or magic bullets, but if you train smart, Octane is a real advantage. It's easy, tastes good and works remarkably well."

Jason Tullous
2002 Masters World Champion, Mountain Bike
UCI WORLD CHAMPION!
"I've always counted on supplements for helping with my performance. I was sponsored by a manufacturer of endurance pills. I tried Athlete Octane a few months before the World Championships and was 100% SOLD from then on. I LOVE the ease of use and the performance is really something. Training 30+ hours per week has become routine and is really made easier by Octane."

"After using Athlete Octane for an entire month, I have to say this seems to be the final piece of the nutrition / fitness puzzle for me. Amazingly my fitness & recovery almost seems to be accelerating as I train harder, where I would have expected it to start leveling out. The big thing is much quicker recovery after hard training days, where I have been exhausted for days in previous years. Almost reminds me of training nearly 25 years ago..."

"I used to think supplements were more trouble than they were worth. Athlete Octane is different. It’s not only simple to use, it really does work."

Tom Danielson
Saturn Professional Cycling Team
"Nothing is more simple to use. I pour an ounce and I'm out the door. Training is paying off more than ever. My bottle of Octane will be at every race I do this year."

Ryder Hesjedal
Subaru/Gary Fisher MTB Team
"I love being able to take my base supplement in one easy liquid shot. It's fast and I can definitely feel the benefits when I'm doing big hours of training!"

Is Athlete Octane™ for kids?

We do not recommend Athlete Octane for anyone under the age of 21. Young people have a remarkable capacity for dealing with the stresses of exercise without the help of nutritional supplements. As with every athlete, we recommend a healthy diet, smart supervised training and encouragement to succeed. Athlete Octane is designed to work for the adult athlete who is often not as efficient as a younger athlete at dealing with the demands of training and competition.

Will Athlete Octane™ replace my current energy drink?

No. Athlete Octane™ is not an energy drink. It is a nutritional supplement. It does not provide the needed calories for endurance activity. It is intended to be used in conjunction with your endurance fueling plan.

How does Athlete Octane™ work?

Athlete Octane™ increases your body’s ability to handle sustained, strenuous activity by providing nutrients that are critical to endurance and are very hard to obtain from food alone. Athlete Octane™ contains specific, key vitamin and micro-nutrients that are typically lost during endurance activity. The ingredients in Athlete Octane™ perform at the cellular level to replace complex nutrients that are often the absolute key to performance.

How will Athlete Octane™ make me feel?

Every athlete has various positive comments regarding how Athlete Octane™ makes him or her feel, although most comment on an increased ability to maintain a high output and less post-workout soreness and fatigue. "It’s just increases my ability to go hard.", is a comment heard most often. Athlete Octane™ will not cause any "jitters" or "buzz"; instead it may prevent you from experiencing some of the negative effects of intense exercise.

Does Athlete Octane™ contain any stimulants?

No. While stimulants like caffeine, guarana, ginseng, ma huang (ephedrine) and others provide the user with a quick burst of energy and may even provide some lasting endurance benefits, stimulants will more often than not let you down in the critical hours of a race. Most stimulants are known diuretics and really have no place in sustained endurance activity.

Why would I want to use nutritional supplements?

As an endurance athlete, you utilize more vitamins and micro-nutrients than the average person. Replacing key nutrients that are utilized during training and racing is very difficult, if not impossible to do with diet alone. Massive farming practices, fast/processed foods have robbed our diets of the nutrients required for optimum performance.

Is Athlete Octane™ safe?

Absolutely. Most of the ingredients in Athlete Octane™ are already found in your body. There are no negative side effects with any of the nutrients found in Athlete Octane™. Athlete Octane™ is manufactured in an state-inspected facility that utilizes a strict GMP protocol.

Is Athlete Octane™ legal for sanctioned competitions?

Yes. Many supplement manufacturers are facing negative exposure by including trace amounts of illegal substances such as androstendione and other pre-hormones in supplements and not telling you about it. These illegal compounds end up in many supplements by faulty manufacturing processes and can cause an innocent athlete to be disqualified, fined and even banned from competition. THE MANUFACTURER OF ATHLETE OCTANE™ DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE BANNED SUBSTANCE IN THE BUILDING AND NEVER HAS. The state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment used to manufacture Athlete Octane™ has never seen a trace of any banned substances. If it’s not in the building, it’s not in the supplement and it’s not in your body. If you’re currently taking a supplement, ask the manufacturer what else goes through the machines that make it. We bet you’ll be surprised. We take the extra step to ensure the efficacy of Octane by commissioning expensive independent screening by an accredited laboratory for specific banned substances.  Most other manufacturers of supplements do not take this step. Ask them to show you the results before you buy!

Why is a liquid endurance supplement better?

This is our favorite question and the answer is in multiple parts. You can buy multiple bottles of pills, figure out how many pills of each formula you need then take a handful of pills, or you can take 1oz of liquid. When given the choice, most athletes would choose the convenience of a liquid in a single bottle over multiple bottles and 10-15 pills. Secondly, liquids absorb quicker and more completely, and are far easier to take before and WHILE YOU’RE TRAINING AND RACING. Try to swallow a handful of pills while you’re chasing the finish line. Those who’ve tried it know exactly what they’re in for.

How does Athlete Octane™ taste?

We spent a great deal of time developing the taste of Athlete Octane™ and we think you’ll be pleased. Trust us, mingling the tastes of over 10 potent nutrients was a real challenge, but we think we pulled it off quite nicely. It has a light orange-cinnamon flavor and it is very easy to take. Keep in mind that while a palatable product is very important, we made sure to keep away from artificial sweeteners or flavors because they don’t add any real benefit to the formula. Octane tastes best if kept in the refrigerator.

How long does it take Athlete Octane™ to work?

Most athletes feel a difference in their training such as a lower heart-rate during intervals and less lactic acid burn in about a week, while some athletes need to take Athlete Octane™ for about 3 weeks before the first signs of improvement are noticed.

What’s in Athlete Octane™ and why does it work so well?

This answer is too long for this FAQ sheet. A list of ingredients and the reasons we put them in Athlete Octane™ appears on our web site. We partnered a group of nutrients that may spare glycogen, increase fat-burning for energy, buffer lactic acid, support healthy heart and muscle function, reduce lactic acid and fatigue without causing any harmful side effects.

Are any professional athletes taking Athlete Octane™?

Absolutely! Not only are the pros taking Athlete Octane™, they helped design it. We worked with national and world-caliber endurance athletes to ensure Athlete Octane™ would perform under the most strenuous conditions. See our web site for a list of pros who make Athlete Octane™ part of their program and why they do.

How do I take Athlete Octane™?

Just shake the bottle, pour 1 or 1/2 oz of Athlete Octane™ into the cap and swallow. Take a little with you in your water bottle or a small Octane flask (we call them Octane batteries and they’re free for the asking). It’s really that easy. You can save your time for training and stop messing with bottles and bottles of pills. Every bottle of Athlete Octane™ also comes with very advanced instructions.

Should I take other supplements with Athlete Octane™?

We feel other supplements for increasing your endurance won’t be necessary, so say "later" to expensive "supplement systems". We do however recommend a good multi-vitamin and green-food supplement to support your diet.

Why is Athlete Octane™ up to 75% less expensive than buying the same supplements in pill form?

Manufacturing multiple formulas to form a "system" is simply more expensive than making a single, all-inclusive formula. Add to that the fact that we receive quantity discounts from our manufacturer that we pass straight on to you. Further savings come from our streamlined operation and low overhead. We’ve also decided that it’s not really fair to ask an athlete to spend well over a hundred bucks a month on supplements so we developed a formula that allows us to make our fair share without taking athletes to the cleaners. We feel you’d rather spend $42.95 than $140. Keep in mind that we have made NO compromises on the quality of ingredients or manufacturing of Athlete Octane™. All the components of Athlete Octane™ are the highest quality available.

How can I take Athlete Octane™ with me while I’m training and racing?

Two ways: You can either add Athlete Octane™ to a water bottle or take 1/2oz doses with you in an Athlete Octane™ flask (a.k.a. Octane Battery). We recommend taking 1/2oz every 2 hours during strenuous training or racing.

I noticed Athlete Octane™ separates after I pour it. Why is this?

Because Athlete Octane™ contains fat-soluble nutrients like Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10, we included a small amount of grapeseed oil in the formula. This increases the absorption of the above nutrients tremendously. The base of the Athlete Octane™ is distilled water which, after shaking, separates from the grape seed oil. This is completely natural and does not effect the formula.

Can I add Athlete Octane™ to an energy drink?

Of course. Just estimate the duration of your race or training session, and add 1/2oz of Athlete Octane™ for every 2hrs of activity to your energy drink . No more popping pills while you're training or racing! However, you may miss some absorption of certain ingredients that are best absorbed sublingually (under the tongue). We prefer to carry Octane in 1/2oz Octane Batteries (mini-flasks).

Is Athlete Octane™ available in different flavors?

Currently, Athlete Octane™ is only available in orange-cinnamon. We are considering offering different flavors in the future.

Why should I take Athlete Octane™ even if I’m not training that day?

The positive effects of Athlete Octane™ are cumulative. This means that you need to build and maintain a supply of the nutrients in Athlete Octane™ for it to be fully effective. Doing so requires that you take Athlete Octane™ every day.

Why did you choose the ingredients in Athlete Octane™?

What’s the shelf life of Athlete Octane™?

Athlete Octane™ will last for one year unopened if kept in the refrigerator. Once opened, it will last for 2 months if kept in the refrigerator. Please keep the formula out of heat and light to maintain potency. You can travel with Octane out of at room temperature for up to a week at a time, but we recommend refrigeration whenever possible.

What makes Athlete Octane™ different than other products?

There are many details that separate Athlete Octane™ from other endurance supplements. The most important are effectiveness, cost and convenience. Not only does Athlete Octane™ absorb better, it’s also far easier to take and up to 75% less expensive than the competition. We also elected to use ingredients that are backed by scientific studies and stay away from ingredients that don’t have a shred of scientific support.

What will happen if I stop taking Athlete Octane™?

There are no side-effects if you’ve been taking Athlete Octane™ for any period of time and stop taking it. You will however, notice that your energy levels, recovery rate and other positive improvements in your performance may slowly return to the levels they were before you started taking Athlete Octane™.

Comments on FDA Issues

The FDA has a regulation that requires a statement similar to, or identical to the one above, be included on all nutritional product labels and literature.

Some nutritional products are known to prevent or cure diseases. Manufacturers of such products, however, are not permitted to make such claims unless the product in question has been subjected to the same FDA-supervised rigorous multi-million dollar trials and tests that apply to drug companies for their products. The primary function of drug companies is to research, develop and manufacture patentable synthetic drugs. Patents protect profits, which in turn is what justifies the millions of dollars that are spent on trials and testing.

Patent protection is not available for products that occur in nature or products that are naturally available. A "use patent" is occasionally allowed on natural products, but a use patent does not prevent other companies from manufacturing the same products. Exclusive profit protection on natural products is difficult or impossible. In the absence of protection to ensure exclusive rights to a product, nutritional companies cannot afford to spend the millions of dollars necessary to obtain FDA approval. Hence, nutritional companies rely on evidence which is usually anecdotal, historical or based on studies and research which, hopefully, are valid and authoritative - but are usually not in compliance with the more costly FDA regulations that apply to drugs.

These statements have not been evaluated by the food and drug administration. Athlete Octane™ is not meant to diagnose, treat or cure any disease or medical condition. Please consult your doctor before starting ANY exercise or nutritional supplement program.
