QUESTION:
is m power ok for the non athlete who works out 3 days a week and follows a clean diet??

ANSWER:
Hi there and thanks so much for your question. MPOWER is a great product that works with your mitochondria to help you burn that fat. You can most definitely use this product as long as you are doing some form of exercise and eating clean. You will of course see more benefits from exercising harder. But you can still use this product in helping you to reach your goals, whether they be small or big! I hope this answers your question. Continue to train hard and keep me posted on your progress.

QUESTION:
Dr. Burke,

Is stacking all Rivalus products safe? Or is this too much for the body to handle?

ANSWER:
Hi there and thanks for your question. You can most definitely stack all of RIVALUS’ products together safely. We have many different popular stacks available such as our “Triple Threat Stack,” which contains MPOWER, ENCHARGE, and PROMASIL.

If you are concerned on whether this is too much for your body to handle, I would recommend speaking with your doctor prior to taking any supplement. This eases your mind as to whether any possible drug interactions could occur.

QUESTION:
Dear Dr. Burke,
If i use Complx5, will i have to drink lots of water during and after my training to avoid dehydration? Also what is the better method of using Complx5, 60 mins before training or during training? Does it make a big difference? Thank you for your time!

ANSWER:
Hi and thanks for your question. It is very necessary that when you take any supplement or are exercising to drink lots of water. Mostly due to the about you sweat and not the supplement itself. Athletes are the most at risk for dehydration because a number of them do not realize the significance of constantly drinking water. You need to replace all that fluid that you sweated out.

QUESTION:
Hello Dr. Burke,

I am wondering if you have a pill for a couch potato like me. I’d like six-pack abs and the ability to bench press 75 pounds.

ANSWER:
Hi and thanks so much for your question. Unfortunately there isn’t a specific pill or supplement that we offer which just simply makes you have that six pack. You still have to live a healthy lifestyle complete with exercise and diet. Combining this with a supplement can help you reach impressive goals. A number of our athletes will do our “Triple Threat Stack.” This combines ENCHARGE with MPOWER and PROMASIL. PROMASIL is our athlete’s protein and is great if you are looking to increase your muscle mass, improve recovery, and support the immune system. MPOWER works with your mitochondria to burn fat and gives you that long lasting fat burn. ENCHARGE is our creatine product and is great if you are looking to workout harder and longer, improve recovery, and increase strength. So if you were to combine this with strength training and eating clean you would reach your goals in healthy manner! I hope this answers your question. Continue to train hard and keep me posted on your progress.

QUESTION:
Hey Dr.Burke,

My overall goal is to cut fat and gain muscle. That being said, Promasil first thing in the mourning, training days I include Hemoxy. What I’m wondering is, Promasil, having 90 cal/serv would it be better if I had a quick breakfast or snack before supplements on training days, for energy? And if so, what kind of carb.

ANSWER:
Hi and thanks for your message. PROMASIL and HEMOXY are a great combo to cut that fat you want but also give you gains in muscle. From a nutritional stand point it is also best to consume something when you first wake up. A number of individuals do not like doing this as it makes them feel nauseous. However whether it be small or big, it is always good to have a little bit of fuel in the tank before starting your day and consuming any supplement. You would probably not want a large meal, so I would suggest sticking to things like fruits you enjoy, yogurt, breads (ie: a half a bagel with peanut butter), etc. You are going to want to consume something that is easily digested. I hope this helps you out. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Continue to train hard and keep me posted on your progress.

QUESTION:
I’m a fitness model from halifax. Why have you changed from Stevia to Sucralose? Such a let down. I use so much of the Promasil and was highly recommending it. Will you switch back? If not, I’ll be searching for another.

Ruth

ANSWER:
Hi Ruth and thank you for the message. Our last batch of PROMASIL contains a combination of Stevia, Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium. The reason for our change is related to numerous customers commenting that they noticed the taste of Stevia in our product and wondered if we could somehow mask this flavor. While some people don’t notice the taste of Stevia others find it tough to palate and comment of a metallic after taste. In support of our many loyal customers we blended a small percentage of the two most tested, and safe sweeteners in with our existing PROMASIL to see if it improved the enjoyment of our great protein. I appreciate your support and candid comments. We do have a new protein that will be coming very soon that is all natural and unflavored. Please keep in touch

QUESTION:
How are you supposed to cycle encharge? Do I do 1 bottle then some time off, or 2 bottles then some time off? And how much time off?

ANSWER:
Hi and thanks for your question. You can take ENCHARGE as long as you like and continuously as well. However, after 8 weeks of continuous use a two week period off CYCLE will result in even bigger gains once you start taking ENCHARGE again. The reason being that your receptors will up-regulate as a result of the reduced daily creatine exposure. When ENCHARGE is re-introduced back into your supplement routine, you will experience even greater creatine uptake into your muscles and in turn bigger gains in strength and size. The CYCLING on and off ENCHARGE is actually better with each subsequent CYCLE as the total creatine pool inside your muscles will continue to increase with each subsequent CYCLE on. This will promote rapid gains in size and strength and fast recovery. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Continue to train hard and keep me posted on your progress.

QUESTION:
Hello Dr.Burke,

I had been currently taking superpump 250,and plasmajet made by gaspari nutrition along with Enpulse…..I had found Enpluse to be a great supplement and plan on getting it again eventually…….My question is today i had purchased MPOWER because i would like to cut some fat while keeping muscle.How safe is it to take plasmajet and MPOWER close together? I had been to GNC today and had asked the person working there if i could take the superpump 250 and MPOWER close together, he told me it would be fine to take MPOWER in the morning and later in the day take the superpump250 and plasmajet before i work out.I am afraid of taking MPOWER and superpump 250 in the same day, i would like to get an opinion from an actual DR about taking the 3 supplements throughout the day?…Eventually i would like to take just rivalus supplements, but in the meantime use what i have right now…My goal is to cut fat but build muscle and strength up also…

QUESTION:
Hi Dr. Burke, Sorry to bother you, if I take the anabolice prescription, do I still need to take the encharge? I am looking to same some money were possible.

ANSWER:
Hi there and thanks for your question. I’m glad to hear you are taking the ANABOLIC PRESCRIPTION which as you know contains both ENPULSE and HELIX-24 for a powerful hormone stack. If you are looking for that increase in testosterone, overcoming genetic limitations, and boosting your muscle growth, ANABOLIC PRESCRIPTION is a great choice. ENCHARGE is a great product that works with your creatine to really make you “faster and bigger.” It helps to improve your strength, endurance, and increases your muscle mass. So ENCHARGE more or less gives you added strength and endurance, where the ANABOLIC PRESCRIPTION adds muscle mass and increases performance. So either or are great options, but if you are really looking for impressive results you may want to consider ENCHARGE as well. I’m not entirely sure of your goals but these are two great products that can help you in reaching those goals. Continue to train hard and keep me posted on your progress.
