How did you hear about Hornet Juice: Rina contacted me and asked if I wouldn’t mind trying it.

How do you take Hornet Juice: I mix it was either water or half-Gatorade/half-water. I take it before a long workout or race.

What do you think of Hornet Juice: I think it has improved my abilities to keep my muscles working at optimum levels for a long time. Positive amino acid uptake has allowed me to become faster. I think part of the reason I just ran a 28-minute PR at Marine Corps Marathon (3:30 as opposed to 3:58) was from the Hornet Juice I took before the race. I haven’t really stepped up my marathon training much, aside from some light speed work. I think my choices of nutrition, which include Hornet Juice, protein powder, and carbo/electrolyte drinks, really helped me achieve that 3:30. I can’t wait to see what it does for me at my Half Ironman in 3 days!!

Any other comments, opinions or words of wisdom to share to the world: I was reluctant to try the Hornet Juice at first, but after using it a few times without changing much else, I really do believe that it helps me stay strong for longer periods of time. I say it can’t hurt to at least try it a few times.
