USAT hooked up with another Loser?
Quote | Reply
If you been to the USAT website or read any tri magazines, you've seen the USAT-astavita sponsorship ads. This is a product advertized as promoting Physical Endurance and Muscle Recovery (just ask Chris Lieto....makes him a superman, oh and by the way puts $ in his pockets). Before it was a product for Physical Endurance and Muscle Recovery it was a Dietary Supplement....strange combo?

Anyway, after trying it out for 2 months at the recommended dosage, it appears to do nothing but make your urine more expensive. I'm wondering if my weekly training level may be too low for it to be effective (Swim 10-13k yards, Bike 180-200 miles, Run 40-45 miles, Core 3-4 hrs)? Maybe it would work if you trained at Chris Lieto's level/volume?

It is sad to see any of the USA sport's governing body get hooked up with some fly by night products. It only serves to downgrade the credibility of the body......however it is understandable that when people plugging products come with $ in hand, there will always be someone to take it. Since the triathlon population age will be increasing like the whole country, perhaps we will see things in the future like instant-viagra showing up as a sponsor?

If you've had a different experience or positive reaction with astavita (and your not taking $ from them!) please post any comments or suggestions that might help figure out why it hasn't worked. Thank you very much.

200 views and no replies tells me I'm the only stupid one to buy the stuff I guess !! Oh I forgot Chris Leito, he uses astavita (yea sure and I'm going to win the lottery!)

I think that people are just refraining from commenting on your negative attack on this product. Did you really expect to notice a huge difference?? These products, like vitamins, will have a very suttle affect, if any at all. It's like the difference between 10psi in tire pressure, ceramic bearings, behind the seat bottle cages, etc....If you want a product that makes a difference, and you want to know it works, then go talk to the bike racers doctors.....I don't fault USAT for soliciting sponsors that are involved in our sport, and testiominal advertising is just that..Take it for what you believe it is worth......

I've made it to the 4th grade (you'll have to ask my mom if you want to see the diploma), and when I read your post I thought that you were either a troll, an idiot or both. But maybe I have reading difficulties like monty, I don't know...

Hmmm, perhaps the Astawhateveritis altered your personality from being nice and rational to acting like a super sarcastic (insert additional descriptive near-epithet here) in unwarranted situations?

Speaking of first grade, you need to work on your spelling. You accidentally put an "o" in your name where the "i" is supposed to be.

Just what exactly did you expect this product to do for you in the first place?

I had a couple of on topic thoughts. First I really don't know much about anti-oxidants/free radicals but I think the benefits are supposed to be long term more so than short term. I don't know Chris but he seems like a stand-up guy so I don't think he would lie. It could be that he was getting depleted in something. I know I have noticed a HUGE difference from taking a multivitamin in terms of how much I am getting sick this year. Maybe he went from nothing to that whereas your diet and supplementation is better. But, it could just be a placebo effect.

Sorry you had a bad experience. I wonder if you could contact them for a refund?
