Dont take our word for it Everyone is talking about Bio-Gro, the game-changing product that has created an entirely new muscular performance category, called Bio-Active Peptides.

One small scoop of this flavorless powder helps maximize the bodys ability to synthesize more proteinto help you speed recovery, gain strength, and develop new lean muscle faster. The ultra-concentrated BioPro Bio Active Peptides found only in Bio-Gro work best when taken daily and should be the base of any serious trainers program. Bio-Gro is the true catalyst to help drive lean muscle growth.

That's why so many experts refer to Bio-Gro as fertilizer for your muscles and why so many athletes are calling it #Gainzinabottle

Easy is not part of the vocabulary of those who take training seriously. Fast is not part of the work ethic of those who have built solid muscle. But with iSatoris Bio-Gro Hyper Growth LEAN MASS Training Plan, you now have the ultimate edge to show yourself and others that you can change... and change fast. I have developed a plan that will literally guide you and challenge you daily over the next eight weeks to become the best you can be. The secret to success lies within you. There are no magic short-cuts, only desire and drive can help you see the results. You will have to dig deep using every ounce of energy to carve out your shape and define your body. It's up to you to decide right now to take a stand and make one of the biggest changes of your life. Follow this program to a T for eight short weeks, and at the end, you'll find a different persona person who looks, feels, and acts like a champion.

But there is one secret I will shareIf you are not targeting your weak areas and hitting your muscles at every angle, you are robbing yourself of the much-needed shape and fullness your muscles are aching for. In my program, there are always three things you must remember: train every muscle, train every rep through its full range of motion, and keep an even pace with your reps and rest between sets. There, the secret is out. Now lets get to it!

ALWAYS USE FULL RANGE OF MOTION Unless you are trying to specifically isolate a single muscle movement, a full range of motion is the key to maximum muscular contraction and results.

CHEAT REPS ARE GOOD. Only use cheat reps at the end of your set to blast out another rep or two.

VOLUME IS KING. Without it, you are merely a pawn on the large chess board of size wondering what move to make next. Lift big reps, for big results.

RESPECT THE NEED FOR REST. But dont just hang out. Training is about getting stuff done, not about getting caught up on the social scene.

WEIGHTS BEFORE CARDIO. You cant get back a lost workout where you had a chance to build solid muscle. You can always cut a few extra calories to help you lean out. Make sure your weight training comes before cardio, so you put maximum effort in.

SQUEEZE AT THE CONTRACTED PORTION OF EVERY LIFT. While it sounds a little over the top, the more in tune you get with your muscles, the more you will know what works and doesnt.

LOOK IN THE MIRROR. Go ahead, be vainit is why you are embarking on this journey. Dont be afraid to flex or pinchitll keep you on track if you find yourself slipping

WHEN IN DOUBT, DO ANOTHER SET OR REP. More is better more often than not.

DONT TRAIN SORE MUSCLES. While soreness does not indicate success, it could indicate much-needed recovery.

TRAIN YOUR WEAK AREAS FIRST. Your _______ (fill in the blank) is weak because you likely are not pushing yourself hard enough. Even if it seems counterintuitive, train it first, and it will get better.

Prepare to challenge your body like never before.

Dieting is tough, but to see your rock-solid muscles take shape, you have to make sacrifices. When you feel like it isn't worth it, look in the mirror and see how much you have changed so far. Imagine what you could look like if you keep going. You can do this. It is in you. You have to unleash your power within and your transformation will take care of itself. The secret to your success with this program is to determine who you are and how your body responds, then select the right course of action and put it into play. Obvious tips such as not eating late at night, not having too much junk food, and watching overall caloric intake should go without saying. But, keeping your carbs up, not worrying about sodium intake, and having a few cheat snacks here and there are all part of a successful plan.

Remember, we want your body to react positively to you, not revolt against you. So the diet recommendations within this program are designed to help you define your body, but also learn what works best for you. The secret lies within your body and now is the time to set it free.

SECRETS

SUCCESSFULFAT LOSS

TO

DONT FAST FOR ANY LONGER THAN YOU NEED. Sleeping is an exception, but otherwise, you want to constantly fuel your body.

KEEP YOUR MACRONUTRIENT RATIO THE SAME. Reduce the total amount of food and calories you consume. Rather than restrict carbs or other fuels, reduce your entire caloric intake, keeping your macronutrient ratio the same.

NO EATING AFTER 8:00 p.m. unless you work a night shift or are throwing down some additional amino acids or protein. Of course, junk food is out late at night. Enough said.

PLAN A CHEAT MEAL, NOT A HIBERNATION LAST SUPPER. Having a few extra carb or fat calories here and there is good; just dont overdo it.

EAT PROTEIN, CARBS, AND FATS AT EVERY MEAL OR SNACK. Try to build in small meals or snacks that have all three macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats). Sure you can have more protein, but just make sure all three are there.

ADD LOW-FAT/CARB OR CALORIE-FREE CONDIMENTS TO FLAVOR THINGS UP. Food doesnt have to be boring as there are plenty of good ways to add variety to that same boring piece of chicken.

DONT GET HUNG UP ON A SETBACK. Bad days happen. If you have been following things well, dont worry if you look a little flat one dayyou will tighten up the next.

FUEL YOUR WORKOUTS. Both a pre- and post-workout drink that includes Bio-Gro and Amino-Amp is a smart strategy to maximize muscle development and minimize recovery. Dont miss this critical window of opportunity to improve your chances of success.

REMOVE JUNK FOOD. Remove this from your cabinets or put a sign up to discourage you from overindulging. If it is not there, you cant eat it. And when you are super hungry, grab another piece of fruit or vegetable instead.

LEARN TO HATE FOOD. Ok, not really, but the less you become obsessed with your favorite snacks, the better off you will be. While the thought of not eating your favorite ice cream may be hard to handle, it's just holding you back from the ultimate transformation.

It may not be easy... but it will be worth it!

Wouldnt it be great if all you had to do was train and diet, and watch everything fall perfectly into place? Yeah, right! Not gonna happen. Rather, you need to invest in your transformation as you would invest in anything important in life. A common obstacle people have when trying to gain muscle while also losing fat is the way their bodies respond. Some people will respond very quickly to changes in diet and training, while others may take a few extra weeks. Measure your improvements on a weekly basis rather than daily. If you look in the mirror and things don't look right, don't worryyour body will fluctuate from day to day but will keep progressing when you continue to commit to the end result.

From the training side, you need to target muscles like you mean it. Train each muscle with focus and purpose, so it responds by getting bigger, thicker, and harder. You do this by implementing our volume-oriented approach that also pushes the envelope by challenging your muscles at every possible angle. This way, you leave no stone unturned by making sure all your muscle fibers are punished by the end of the week.

Another big thing to remember is Dont Let Up. This program will punish you. If performed at max intensity, it will bring you to your knees. But you will get reprieve. At the end of the eight weeks, you will have a new physique, likely the best you have ever had. It will turn your friends and family members heads and give you a completely elevated sense of pride. Only the strong survive, and while that may sound clich, its truth has never been revealed like it will be when you finish with this program. As my mantra continues to say: You cant be soaring with the eagles if you are running with the chickens. Suck it up, dial it in, and push your limits and lets make the gainz youve always wanted and deserve!

David, you have an impressive resume of accomplishments and scientific community involve-ment in strength training and nutrition. What has you so excited about this new scientific breakthrough in muscle-building technology. And, what is it?

David Sandler [DS]: Thank you for the kind words. Ive devoted myself to this industry for over 20 years and am proud of my involvement. Our newest contribution in nutri-tional sciences is a product called Bio-Groit is a true game-changer from iSatori, the company I work for, and is the first to introduce a new breed of designer supplemen-tation called Bio-Active Peptides. Basically, you can think of Bio-Gro as fertilizer for your muscles.

Very interesting, please tell us morehow does it work?

DS: The technology in Bio-Gro is indeed very interesting and very different from anything our industry has ever seen before. We, at iSatori, have custom engineered and patented the first and most technically advanced, low molecular weight, micro-concentrated form of Bio-Active Peptides (BAPs) found only in Bio-Gro. These custom BAPs are designed to provide a supra-physiological effect that,

once consumed, signal the body to amplify its natural protein synthesis process, helping you develop lean muscle and recover faster from intense workouts, much more so than on your own.

Ok, were loving this new idea, but can you explain what exactly are the Bio-ActivePeptides inside Bio-Gro?

DS: Sure. Bio-Active Peptides (or BAPs) are an entirely new category of sports nutrition; something I feel is desperately needed by our industry. BAPs are engineered using a patented manufacturing method, whereby cleaved protein fragments are extracted from the highest grade bovine colostrums, which are then centrifugated and micro-concentrated to form a low molecular weight, highly bioavailable powder, yielding an exact concentration of bioactive:

Proline-Rich Peptides (PRPs) Growth Factors (IgF, TGF beta-2, EGF, PDGF) Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA) Lactoferrin Fibroblast-GF

These are the essential BAPs needed to cause the body to send a stronger signal, from the muscle cell, to call for

protein synthesis and then enable the muscle cell to accelerate, or amplify, its rate of protein synthesis, thereby helping us build new lean muscle, and recover faster, after intense weight-training workouts.

Were even more impressed and intrigued now! So, who should use Bio-Gro?

DS: Honestly, Bio-Gro should be used by anyonemale and femalewho is interested in developing or maintaining more lean body mass and enhancing recovery from exercise or sport. This would include bodybuilders, fitness, figure, or physique competi-tors; and athletes competing in sports, whether collegiate, professional, or recreational. Or, anyone who finds it difficult (or too costly) to consume higher amounts of protein in a day and would rather rely on a more concen-trated form of the bioactives

your body will use to amplify protein synthesis.

How do we use Bio-Gro?

DS: Bio-Gro is pretty simple to use and should almost be thought of as concentrated food. Bio-Gro is an unflavored powder. All you do is simply mix two scoops (3 grams), two times a day, in liquid such as a protein shake, pre-workout, or amino drink, etc., and thorough-ly agitate or blend. Although clumping is likely if stirred in plain water, you can also mix Bio-Gro into your favorite soft foods like yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, etc. Bio-Gro can be taken with or without food. The great part is, from what we can tell preliminarily, the more Bio-Gro you use, the more profound its results.

So, David, we have to ask the obvious question; are there any scientific studies to support Bio-Gro?

DS: Absolutely. Thats one of our companys core values. To date, there are over 32 clinical studies, conducted from 1990-2011, which demon-strate the positive effects of the primary ingredient inside Bio-Gro, including improve-ments in lean body mass, performance, recovery,strength, and immune func-tion, and more are currently underway. Equally important, these studies were done primarily on well-trained athletes, who showed marked improvements. You can check out the complete list of studies on isatori.com/biogro.

Can you explain why someone would want to use the Bio-Active Peptides inside Bio-Gro?

DS: Absolutely. Actually, there

are five primary reasons anyone should want to useBio-Gro:

1. Bio-Gro is more concentrated. A more concentrated form of Bio-Active Peptides means less out-of-pocket expense for you, compared to regular protein powders. This is a big deal if you think about. That's because one small scoop (1.5 grams) of Bio-Gro contains the equivalent bio-actives as 25 grams of whey protein concen-

trate. That makes Bio-Gro nearly half the cost, on a serving-per-serving basis, of regular whey protein powders.

2. Bio-Gro is more convenient. Unlike bulky tablets andflavored powders, Bio-Gro is an unflavored powder in its raw form that is virtually tasteless. Though [laughing] it doesntmix well in plain water, it does mix easily into almost every-thing elsefrom your protein shake to pre-workout to amino drink, and even in soft foods like yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, and more.

3. Bio-Gro has more scientific research. There are over 32 published clinical studies that back up the demonstrated benefits of the primary ingredi-ent used to develop Bio-Gro. And more importantly, these studies were conducted mostly on well-trained athletes, participants who traditionally

show less positive effects compared to untrained individ-uals. And, we have more studies underway, right now, on the use of Bio-Gro in athletes and experienced weight trainers.

4. Bio-Gro has more expert opinions. There hasnt been a supplement we can think of, to date, that has had more PhD-sports nutrition experts who independently supportand validate the science and

effects supporting the primary ingredient in Bio-Gro. Includ-ing such highly reputable names as Chris Lockwood, PhD; Darryn Willoughby, PhD;Jay Hoffman, PhD; and even myself, the supplement skeptic extraordinaire, David Sandler.

5. Bio-Gro is developed using only the highest quality ingredient and is banned-substance tested. Because iSatori controls the domestic source of the ingredi-ent in Bio-Gro and has engineered the first micro-concentrated, low molecular weight Bio-Active Peptides found in Bio-Gro, you can trust and count on every batch being of the highest quality and consistency. And whats more, each batch is tested and certified free of any banned substances (via Informed Choice), and is GRAS certified, HALAL, Kosher,

training hard and heavy. And by doing so, with continued use of Bio-Gro over time, you can develop lean body mass at a faster rate. Now, keep in mind, we are not suggesting that if you take it today, youll turn into the incredible Hulk tomorrow (nothing can do that). What we are saying is Bio-Gro should be used daily and consistently, just as you would food or other sources of protein, and you will experience greater gains in lean body mass over time. And the good news is, so far as the anecdotal reports suggest, the more you use, the better and more profound its effects! (We all love to hear "more is better," right!?)

So, the next obvious question is how do we use Bio-Gro to really optimize the results?

DS: I thought youd never ask. Bio-Gro is an unflavored powder thats easy to use. You simply take one to two scoops (1.5-3.0 grams), two times a day if youre under 200 pounds, and two to three scoops (3.0-4.5 grams),

two times a day if you're over 200 pounds. Its best to mix Bio-Gro into liquid (such as your protein shake, pre-workout, or amino drink), and make sure you thoroughly agitate or blend it. It doesnt mix well in plain water, but you can also mix Bio-Gro into your favorite soft foods like yogurt, cereal, or oatmeal. Some guys just put a scoop in theirmouths and chase it with water. However you take it is fine, just as long as you take one serving in the AM and the other in the PM for best resultstrying to get at least one serving during your training session.

Right now, I like to mix Bio-Gro in my oatmeal (it mixes in well, and its pretty much tasteless) in the morn-ing. Then I mix another serving either into my RestorAid amino drink and drink it on days during my workouts, or if Im not training, then I mix my second serving in the evening,before bed, in my Eat-Smart protein shake. I am loving the results In fact, my arms

have increased by a solid inch in the last month. And whats cool is that even after 20 years of training, Ive still been able to put on new muscle size without changing anything else in my diet or training, after adding Bio-Gro. This stuff is the real deal.

Wow, thats impressive. I know Jeff Everson said Bio-Gro was the #1 muscle product of2013 in the April issue of Planet Muscle, so he definitely believes in it too. What other type of feedback have you heard so far from those using Bio-Gro?

DS: Honestly, we have had an enormous amount of feedback on Bio-Gro over the past months. Almost too much to keep up with. Starting from our original beta-testers, to those first to try it (once it became available in May), and right now Im looking on the Internet and there are over 200 reviews on various e-tailer websites. The majority of them are positive, though not all supplements will work for all people, so there are a few reviews that arent positive. But overall, the ratings are very high. People are really enjoying the benefits they are experiencing from using Bio-Gro.


Rather than self-profess, Ill share with you a small sample of the feedback weve gotten on Bio-Gro:

Bio-Gro is now part of our strict regimen of supplementation for all of our elite athletes.

When we undertook the task of evaluating Bio-Gro, we were skeptical but, not only did wesee an improvement in our [athletes] performance, we also saw reduced recovery time using

a natural product that is free of any banned substances. We were thrilled! We have, to date, trained 135 elite athletes on Bio-Gro, including several Olympic hopefuls and over 134 All-Americans at the high school and collegiate level. Bio-Gro is now part of our strict regimen of supplementation for all of our elite athletes.

You might think this is just for men, but youre dead wrong!

Ive been involved in womens fitness and figure competitions for over 10 years, and now I work as a personal trainer to over 25 clients in the Dallas area. I understand, for me and my clients, how important it is as a competitor, or someone trying to alter their body composition, to improve leanbody mass favorably compared to fat mass, and Bio-Gro did just that.

What drew me to Bio-Gro was the convenience, because I dont always like consuming a giant protein shake, especially when Im not hungry, and it normally leaves me with gas or bloating, which I hate. With Bio-Gro, you only have to take one tiny scoop. Whats more, I liked that Bio-Gro didnt contain any calories, sugar, or fat, which is great when you are dieting or trying to be mindful of your calories or sugar. And best of all, I was impressed by the amount ofscience behind it. I use Bio-Gro every day, twice a day, and recommend that all of my clients use it.

Everything I eat seems to turn to muscle!

Im what you would call your typical hard-gainer. No matter what I ate, or how much protein I consumed, I just have never been able to pack on any respectable amount of bodyweight and keep it on.

That all changed when I was introduced to Bio-Gro during their beta-test phase of develop-ment. I happen to work out at a gym in Colorado, where they were soliciting for participants in their pilot studies. I volunteered, and man, am I glad I did. Over the last three months of using Bio-Gro, two sometimes three times daily, I have gained over 15 pounds of muscle mass.

It just seemed like everything I ate turned to muscle. I have to say that without a reason of doubt, Bio-Gro was the answer to unlocking my natural ability to put on muscle mass as a true hard-gainer. This stuff is the real deal, and like they told me when they gave it to me, its a real game-changer.

Very cool. What can someone expect from using Bio-Gro, as far as benefits?

DS: I thought youd never ask [laughing]. Bio-Gro was designed to augment an important physiological function to a greater capacity than it can on its ownno matter how much protein or aminos you consume. Remember, our bodies can use only about 10 grams of protein per hour. Thats based on science. But, with Bio-Gro, you can actually use more, or all, of the protein you consume by assisting your body to signal and accelerate the rate at which it processes the building and re-building of muscle tissue, called protein synthesis. By doing so, over time with continued use of Bio-Gro, you can develop lean body mass at a faster rate, more efficiently.

You said Bio-Gro was like fertilizer for your muscles; can you explain this further?

DS: Sure [laughing]. I love that analogy. Just like your lawn needs water and sun to grow, once you add fertilizer, you can help the grass grow faster Your muscles need weight training, plenty of protein, and if Bio-Gro is added, it can help them grow faster than they can on their own.

That makes sense. Now, for us laymen, can you help explain exactly how Bio-Gro works?

DS: Heres a good example of how Bio-Gro works Imagineyoure building a house (yourmuscle), and you have only

five workers (protein synthe-sis). Well, no matter how hard those five guys work, they can only build so much, right? Andworse, despite their call for help, no one can hear them (in other words, your muscle cells signal is not loud enough, nor can it get any help, because it cant use any additional protein). Now, give those workers a mega-phone and make their call for help louder, and you get ten more workers; now, you can build the house much faster! Thats essentially what Bio-Gro does it amplifies the signal and accelerates the rate of

protein synthesis, so you can develop muscle faster than you can just by consuming protein or aminos on their own.

That was a simple but great example on how it works. What can we expect from using Bio-Gro? Tell us about the benefits

DS: Well, right away, after using Bio-Gro, you should notice a reduction in recovery time after bouts of intense exercise or weight training; and within a week or two, you will undoubted-ly notice an increase in your strength, as long as you are

Before you begin any training session, it is strongly advised you do a quick warm-up either on a treadmill or a cycle. Warm-up means to increase your body temperature, so both blood flow and metabolism are primed and ready to deliver the needed nutrients during exercise. Additionally, you will be able to feel your muscles and joints getting a little looser, which will allow you to hit full range of motion during your exercises. Do a 5- to 10-minute low-threshold warm-up, but dont overdo it.

Bio-Gro Hyper Growth LEAN MASS Training Journal

David, you have an impressive resume of accomplishments and scientific community involve-ment in strength training and nutrition. What has you so excited about this new scientific breakthrough in muscle-building technology. And, what is it?

David Sandler [DS]: Thank you for the kind words. Ive devoted myself to this industry for over 20 years and am proud of my involvement. Our newest contribution in nutri-tional sciences is a product called Bio-Groit is a true game-changer from iSatori, the company I work for, and is the first to introduce a new breed of designer supplemen-tation called Bio-Active Peptides. Basically, you can think of Bio-Gro as fertilizer for your muscles.

Very interesting, please tell us morehow does it work?

DS: The technology in Bio-Gro is indeed very interesting and very different from anything our industry has ever seen before. We, at iSatori, have custom engineered and patented the first and most technically advanced, low molecular weight, micro-concentrated form of Bio-Active Peptides (BAPs) found only in Bio-Gro. These custom BAPs are designed to provide a supra-physiological effect that,

once consumed, signal the body to amplify its natural protein synthesis process, helping you develop lean muscle and recover faster from intense workouts, much more so than on your own.

Ok, were loving this new idea, but can you explain what exactly are the Bio-ActivePeptides inside Bio-Gro?

DS: Sure. Bio-Active Peptides (or BAPs) are an entirely new category of sports nutrition; something I feel is desperately needed by our industry. BAPs are engineered using a patented manufacturing method, whereby cleaved protein fragments are extracted from the highest grade bovine colostrums, which are then centrifugated and micro-concentrated to form a low molecular weight, highly bioavailable powder, yielding an exact concentration of bioactive:

Proline-Rich Peptides (PRPs) Growth Factors (IgF, TGF beta-2, EGF, PDGF) Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA) Lactoferrin Fibroblast-GF

These are the essential BAPs needed to cause the body to send a stronger signal, from the muscle cell, to call for

protein synthesis and then enable the muscle cell to accelerate, or amplify, its rate of protein synthesis, thereby helping us build new lean muscle, and recover faster, after intense weight-training workouts.

Were even more impressed and intrigued now! So, who should use Bio-Gro?

DS: Honestly, Bio-Gro should be used by anyonemale and femalewho is interested in developing or maintaining more lean body mass and enhancing recovery from exercise or sport. This would include bodybuilders, fitness, figure, or physique competi-tors; and athletes competing in sports, whether collegiate, professional, or recreational. Or, anyone who finds it difficult (or too costly) to consume higher amounts of protein in a day and would rather rely on a more concen-trated form of the bioactives

your body will use to amplify protein synthesis.

How do we use Bio-Gro?

DS: Bio-Gro is pretty simple to use and should almost be thought of as concentrated food. Bio-Gro is an unflavored powder. All you do is simply mix two scoops (3 grams), two times a day, in liquid such as a protein shake, pre-workout, or amino drink, etc., and thorough-ly agitate or blend. Although clumping is likely if stirred in plain water, you can also mix Bio-Gro into your favorite soft foods like yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, etc. Bio-Gro can be taken with or without food. The great part is, from what we can tell preliminarily, the more Bio-Gro you use, the more profound its results.

So, David, we have to ask the obvious question; are there any scientific studies to support Bio-Gro?

DS: Absolutely. Thats one of our companys core values. To date, there are over 32 clinical studies, conducted from 1990-2011, which demon-strate the positive effects of the primary ingredient inside Bio-Gro, including improve-ments in lean body mass, performance, recovery,strength, and immune func-tion, and more are currently underway. Equally important, these studies were done primarily on well-trained athletes, who showed marked improvements. You can check out the complete list of studies on isatori.com/biogro.

Can you explain why someone would want to use the Bio-Active Peptides inside Bio-Gro?

DS: Absolutely. Actually, there

are five primary reasons anyone should want to useBio-Gro:

1. Bio-Gro is more concentrated. A more concentrated form of Bio-Active Peptides means less out-of-pocket expense for you, compared to regular protein powders. This is a big deal if you think about. That's because one small scoop (1.5 grams) of Bio-Gro contains the equivalent bio-actives as 25 grams of whey protein concen-

trate. That makes Bio-Gro nearly half the cost, on a serving-per-serving basis, of regular whey protein powders.

2. Bio-Gro is more convenient. Unlike bulky tablets andflavored powders, Bio-Gro is an unflavored powder in its raw form that is virtually tasteless. Though [laughing] it doesntmix well in plain water, it does mix easily into almost every-thing elsefrom your protein shake to pre-workout to amino drink, and even in soft foods like yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, and more.

3. Bio-Gro has more scientific research. There are over 32 published clinical studies that back up the demonstrated benefits of the primary ingredi-ent used to develop Bio-Gro. And more importantly, these studies were conducted mostly on well-trained athletes, participants who traditionally

show less positive effects compared to untrained individ-uals. And, we have more studies underway, right now, on the use of Bio-Gro in athletes and experienced weight trainers.

4. Bio-Gro has more expert opinions. There hasnt been a supplement we can think of, to date, that has had more PhD-sports nutrition experts who independently supportand validate the science and

effects supporting the primary ingredient in Bio-Gro. Includ-ing such highly reputable names as Chris Lockwood, PhD; Darryn Willoughby, PhD;Jay Hoffman, PhD; and even myself, the supplement skeptic extraordinaire, David Sandler.

5. Bio-Gro is developed using only the highest quality ingredient and is banned-substance tested. Because iSatori controls the domestic source of the ingredi-ent in Bio-Gro and has engineered the first micro-concentrated, low molecular weight Bio-Active Peptides found in Bio-Gro, you can trust and count on every batch being of the highest quality and consistency. And whats more, each batch is tested and certified free of any banned substances (via Informed Choice), and is GRAS certified, HALAL, Kosher,


training hard and heavy. And by doing so, with continued use of Bio-Gro over time, you can develop lean body mass at a faster rate. Now, keep in mind, we are not suggesting that if you take it today, youll turn into the incredible Hulk tomorrow (nothing can do that). What we are saying is Bio-Gro should be used daily and consistently, just as you would food or other sources of protein, and you will experience greater gains in lean body mass over time. And the good news is, so far as the anecdotal reports suggest, the more you use, the better and more profound its effects! (We all love to hear "more is better," right!?)

So, the next obvious question is how do we use Bio-Gro to really optimize the results?

DS: I thought youd never ask. Bio-Gro is an unflavored powder thats easy to use. You simply take one to two scoops (1.5-3.0 grams), two times a day if youre under 200 pounds, and two to three scoops (3.0-4.5 grams),

two times a day if you're over 200 pounds. Its best to mix Bio-Gro into liquid (such as your protein shake, pre-workout, or amino drink), and make sure you thoroughly agitate or blend it. It doesnt mix well in plain water, but you can also mix Bio-Gro into your favorite soft foods like yogurt, cereal, or oatmeal. Some guys just put a scoop in theirmouths and chase it with water. However you take it is fine, just as long as you take one serving in the AM and the other in the PM for best resultstrying to get at least one serving during your training session.

Right now, I like to mix Bio-Gro in my oatmeal (it mixes in well, and its pretty much tasteless) in the morn-ing. Then I mix another serving either into my RestorAid amino drink and drink it on days during my workouts, or if Im not training, then I mix my second serving in the evening,before bed, in my Eat-Smart protein shake.

Wow, thats impressive. I know Jeff Everson said Bio-Gro was the #1 muscle product of2013 in the April issue of Planet Muscle, so he definitely believes in it too. What other type of feedback have you heard so far from those using Bio-Gro?

DS: Honestly, we have had an enormous amount of feedback on Bio-Gro over the past months. Almost too much to keep up with. Starting from our original beta-testers, to those first to try it (once it became available in May), and right now Im looking on the Internet and there are over 200 reviews on various e-tailer websites.
