How Did Matt Do?

MINNEAPOLIS (July 23 , 2010). Matt Aro just returned from Death Valley, California. Unlike the average person who visits this desolate outpost, he was not there to sightsee but to subject himself to one of the most grueling tests of human endurance on the planet, the AdventureCORPS™ Badwater Ultramarathon. This extreme event is considered the most demanding race on any continent; summer temperatures soar up to 130 degrees F. while runners cover 135 miles of rugged desert terrain.

Matt, who has a day job as a forest products research scientist, has run ultramarathons and triathlons before, winning several. Each race requires significant planning, training, and nutrition. In 2010 in California, he didn't rely on the standard dietary supplements developed for athletes, he found the right mix of ingredients in a product formulated by doctors to help people support their immune systems when they need it most.* Immuno-Viva's™ Defend Plus™, produced by Botanic Oil Innovations, Inc., (www.botanicoil.com) was developed to provide a rich source of antioxidant activity, natural compounds that help fight against free radicals.* Defend Plus also provides a caffeine-free energy boost by utilizing a proprietary combination of carbohydrates and Ribose, a critical nutrient.

Defend Plus supports performance and recovery time for athletes, a useful combination for consumers seeking support — and an ally for athletes in tough environments as well as weekend warriors.*

Defend Plus utilizes a proprietary process that gently extracts nutrients from sustainably sourced fruit and herb seeds; the mix includes seeds from fresh blueberries, raspberries, grapes, cranberries, and other fruits and herbs. The resulting seed powders concentrate natural antioxidant activity, providing many more times the amounts typically consumed with these fresh fruits.*

How did Matt do in the 2010 ultramarathon? He finished a very respectable 29th out of the 80 runners who started the race. In the Death Valley extreme test of endurance, if you survive, you're a winner. Perhaps you are not ready to follow Matt to Death Valley for a 60-hour run across the desert, but you can share his peak performance secret. Defend Plus supports your immune system — at the office, on airplanes, for ultramarathons, or a jog around the park.*
