I don't want to age!!

RE: dara torres on the supplements....www.mark-warnecke.de/amsport there is a english flag icon to click on to read the web page. i read the ingredients and it is similar to several of these so called recovery and aminoacid fixes in europe. I used to drink this orange crap when i lived in italy and all it did was race my heart(100% caffeine) and give me extreme stomach cramps(creatine). it was sold as a recovery aid. Swimcat found the supplement that Dara mentioned by name in the ESPN interview. I looked at the web site and found this interesting statement by the guy who is selling the stuff (Mark Warnecke). The bold highlighting is mine: "For over ten years now, I have focused my efforts on amino acids, protein products and muscle enhancers and how they affect the human body. During countless long night shifts, I waded through hundreds of studies and scientific analyses. Following detailed research into protein products and muscle enhancers, I turned my attention to amino acids and was able to chalk up my first real meaningful successes with pure amino acids in the 1995/96 season. The intravenous application available then, however, is not affordable for long term use (approx. 40 EUR/day), nor is it ethically acceptable. Today, the application form is also no longer acceptable due to anti-doping regulations. I unreservedly share this view." If I read that correctly, the stuff is illegal (from an anti-doping point of view) if administered by IV but apparently not if ingested orally. The page where I got the above quote is: www.mark-warnecke.de/.../amsport1_engl.html Edit: Hmmm, just found some more interesting things on that page: "One professional cyclist describes an "increased blood circulation" effect on strained leg muscles, even under maximum impact. This is due in part to the high proportion of arginine contained in AMsport. Arginine is an amino acid that widens the lymphatic vessels.... Thanks to its related metabolic path (nitrogen monoxide (NO)), arginine is known in America as 'natural Viagra'...." Also interesting - Mark Warnecke was a breaststroker from Germany who, at age 35, won the world title in the 50m Breaststroke at the 2005 World Aquatics Championships in Montreal, Canada. That made him the oldest swimming world champion since 1971.
