What do you call a vitamin competitive athletes use to help win? Which works in an hour? Something weekend warriors take so play doesn’t feel like work? Something the magazines are calling a healthy alternative to sports muscle pain relievers?
You might call it something that sounds too good to be true. We call it SportLegs.
You should try it. June 2008: Hello,
Just to say that with a good bike and Sportlegs, I managed to win the District Championships in North Holland.
Thanks for a great product....

Haven't heard about SportLegs? Read what testers from respected national publications have written so far:
Bicycling magazine, August 2008: "BANISH THE BURN: The right sport supplement can make every day feel like a good day on the bike. Staff favorite SportLegs is a blend of primarily calcium and magnesium that pushes back the point at which your legs start to burn during hard efforts, allowing you to ride harder, happier."
SKI magazine, December 2007: "OUTMUSCLE YOUR PAIN The same stuff that fuels your muscles- lactic acid- can leave them barking. You could down a couple of beers or ibuprofen to relieve the pain. But if you'd like to give your liver- as well as your muscles- a break, consider these alternatives: Top pick:SPORTLEGS SportLegs pills, made from vitamin D, calcium and magnesium, are designed to prevent your muscles from producing more lactic acid than you can burn off. PROS After a two-hour bike ride- uphills and intervals- we felt remarkably free of pain. You can push yourself harder, longer.CONS Need to take them an hour before exercising." Powder magazine, October 2007: "BAR CODE: Gear you want for resort-accessed backcountry Sidecountry good. Lactic acid bad. SportLegs capsules contain premium lactate, tricking your body to lay off production. These magic pills help you go harder, longer, and recover faster. And if mixing alcohol and ibuprofen wrecks your liver like doctors say they do, take a couple of these, and you won't need the 'Vitamin I' with your après beer." Skiing magazine, February 2007: "On our radar: No More Burn It's dumping like the blizzard of '96 and you're shredding the back bowls, only to be sidelined by screaming thighs. If you've slacked on wall sits, try SportLegs, a supplement with vitamin D and lactate forms of calcium and magnesium. Take a few capsules an hour before exercising, and the mineral cocktail hoodwinks your muscles into producing less lactic acid, which means less burn, more fun."
The Denver Post newspaper: "When the powder is piled deep in the hills, there's nothing worse than a revolt brewing in your thighs after only a few runs. Fight the fatigue with SportLegs. In a sports world swollen with supplements, SportLegs actually delivers on its promise to reduce fatigue in leg muscles and keep you pushing, pedaling and schussing longer. It doesn't stop leg fatigue, it just gives you more time before you're spent."
Bicycling magazine: "SportLegs really works. You just don't get sore. SportLegs contains lactate compounds of calcium and magnesium. Taken an hour before exercise, it pre-loads your bloodstream with lactate and tricks your muscles into thinking they don't need to make more- a sneaky way to raise your lactate threshold and boost performance. Editors' legs kept going and feeling fresh. It took longer to reach the burn point. Legs still burned on steep climbs, but I was able to ride faster. It's like a good day in a bottle!"
bike magazine: "SportLegs is gaining a major foothold in the cycling, skiing and climbing world. They have become as much a part of my pre-race routine as pinning on a number plate, from 24-hour events to downhill racing. Hard efforts still hurt- but muscles burn considerably less. When taken properly and with enough water, they completely ward away cramping. Consistent usage is not necessary to feel results and they even reduce soreness after a hard effort. SportLegs' less obvious advantage is bone strengthening: Cycling, a non-impact sport, accelerates bone deterioration. Tour de France riders literally have the bone density of elderly women. SportLegs can help you also achieve healthier bones."
USA Today newspaper: "STOCKING STUFFER FOR CYCLISTS SportLegs actually works and won't get you kicked out of the Tour de France. Made from calcium, mag- nesium and vitamin D in vegetarian capsules, SportLegs helps regulate lactic acid production, so your muscles pro- duce only as much as they need to perform their very best."
National Geographic Adventure magazine: "REMEDIES: The Pain Stoppers As a former pro cyclist and current Category 1 racer, I know from sore muscles. To test the latest pain remedies, I kicked up my routine with dozens of intervals and hundreds of push-ups. Below, what worked for me, in order of effectiveness. –Ian Dille 1st place: SportLegs is an all-natural magnesium- calcium-vitamin D supplement. The test:Ahhh! Two pills reduced perceived exertion (rider-speak for pain) on a 30-minute interval workout and on my same- and next-day rides."
Common SportLegs side effect: Winning.
