About SURGEX(TM):
SURGEX(TM) (www.surgexsports.com) was created from Millennium's extensive experience providing advanced nutritional formulas to some of the most prestigious medical institutions throughout the United States. The proprietary SURGEX(TM) formula intends to meet the growing demand of professional, amateur, and Olympic athletes as well as their coaches looking for nutritional support in a marketplace dominated by products with no clinical proof of benefit, unsubstantiated claims, excess protein, stimulants, and banned substances.
In two double blind placebo controlled clinical trials conducted at the Rutgers University Human Performance Lab SURGEX(TM) significantly outperformed leading competitive products by assisting in reducing the damaging effects of exercise. SURGEX(TM) proved to be a superior product by improving peak power outputs, lowering oxidative stress/inflammatory markers, reducing fatigue (poor energy recovery) and the breakdown of muscle (post exercise wasting), as well as reducing free radical production (oxidative stress). The formula meets NCAA guidelines for use by collegiate athletes and is certified by The Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG) to contain no banned substances.
