Vemma® PASSED THE CONSUMERLAB.COM ATHLETIC BANNED SUBSTANCE SCREENING

Dear Mike,

It is with great enthusiasm I write this letter to share my professional experiences with you and everyone who visits the ExProAthletes website.


As a sports fan it saddens my heart to see any gifted athlete sustain an injury that often leads to his or her early retirement from professional competition. The St. Louis Cardinals’ great catcher, Mike Matheny comes to mind as he suffered Post-Concussion Syndrome cutting his career in Major League Baseball short by at least two seasons. NFL quarterbacks, Steve Young, and Troy Aikman also sustained PCS along with Muhammad Ali and many others.


As a medical doctor who has studied and compared hundreds of allopathic and naturopathic approaches to healing, I have discovered an all-natural botanical alternative to pharmaceuticals that has rocked the traditional modality of treating severe inflammation in joints, muscles and even the brain.


The medical term for this botanical fruit is called, Garcinia Mangostana and should any of my colleagues in medicine wish to learn more about it, go to: www.pubmed.gov then in the search bar type the word Xanthones Garcinia Mangostana -- a list of 36 published research articles will be displayed and for Xanthones 1,516 published research articles will be displayed.


The juice derived from the whole fruit puree has passed ALL the strict guidelines from Consumer Laboratories has given its seal of approval for use by all professional sports and Olympic athletes. (Scroll to bottom of this page for full list of approved supplements).


In my 30 years as a physician, this is the most exciting alternative to drug therapy I have ever seen. Why? Because I have first hand knowledge and personal experience with my patients that prove beyond a doubt, Mangosteen is the most powerful NATURAL
anti-inflammatory I have ever discovered.


Every athlete, professional or amateur should be consuming this 100% natural juice produced from the whole fruit puree. In my opinion, it enables the body to heal faster from injury and boost the immune system to fight fatigue and other issues unique to the elite athlete.
Yours truly,
Les Berenson, M.D. FACP

Time Article, The Secret Killer

Time Article:
"The Secret Killer" (Click Here)
In the February 24th, 2004 issue of TIME Magazine, the feature article is all about INFLAMMATION!

They have discovered that inflammation is critical to
many diseases, which they did not know before.

The research has become saturated with data on inflammation and how critical it is to many diseases... things like sickle cell anemia ... MS, Lupus, and other autoimune diseases ... Parkinsons ... Alzheimers ... CANCER ... heart attacks ... DIABETES ... arthritis ... even such simple things as dental hygiene and the consequences of irritation in your mouth...

The study done with Mangosteen and inflammation compared it to the strongest anti-inflammatory drug available (a drug used to treat Gout and which is so dangerous they can only prescribe it for SHORT-term use) and the Mangosteen was JUST AS POWERFUL WITHOUT NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES!!!

No wonder we're seeing so many conditions respond to the Mangosteen.
"Inflammation is probably the background and driving force behind all major age-related diseases."
