WHAT POWER DO SUPPLEMENTS REALLY GIVE YOU? BY ALEX ARIZA
By Alex Ariza,
Should we take supplements?
My answer is yes.
You can get most of the supplements your body requires through food. However, in order to get everything you really need you would have to eat more than you are eating right now, at scheduled times though out the day, and you would have to monitor everything you do down to the ounce. It would need to be a daily ritual, a science of sorts.
To put it bluntly you would have to be a professional eater just to make the attempt on getting enough supplements in your body for its daily grind.
Take Manny Pacquiao for instance. He has his own cooks. They prepare all his meals for him. He eats seven times a day. Manny Pacquiao is the healthiest eater I have ever met. Everyone of his meals contains all the necessary ingredients and supplements I would reccomend, but it is still not enough.
I introduced supplementation to Manny Pacquiao back in 2008. At first it was hard to get him to even take a multi-vitamin- now he takes a full pack of vitamins that have been designed specially for him.
Supplementation has been one of the biggest keys to his success over the last 3 years.
That being said, don’t be fooled that every company produces the same quality of supplement. For instance company number 1 could state they have a certain amount of B12 in their product. Company number 2 could state they have the same amount of B12 in their product, yet there is a substantial difference when you take the supplements. When you take company number 1’s supplements you feel the energy from the B12 while you are dieting. When you take company number 2’s product you feel nothing.
I have done my research over the years and I will tell you 90% of the companies out there are bogus. I have only found a couple of companies that really put the quality ingredients into their supplements. During the month of August I will break down exactly what is in the “Manny Pack”. I will tell you why I give him what I give him and what company I feel stands out above the rest.
Proof is in the pudding and the proof has been seen over the years.
Manny Pacquiao now trains harder during his daily workouts, has more energy, feels less pain in his body, moves around better, hits harder, and has greater speed. There are a lot of factors that determine why this has happened, but the proper supplementation is at the top of the list.
Stay tuned for my next article describing the exact vitamins that are in the “Manny Packs”

Great article. It’s about time that this topic is discussed as there are so many people that have never been exposed to the use of supplements.

This is interesting. I actually believed in organic supplements, but I may have to rethink after this one. Keep it up Alex!

The anticipation is killing us Alex…. You have a career as a novelist after your training is all said and done.

Alex is 100% right. How the supplement is being manufactured is the key. Is the manufacturer using the cold or heat process? Heat usually destroys the value of the food while the cold process preserves it.
I’m glad MP8 is back. Hope Manny will come to his senses and get rid of the crooks within his group. I’m a big fan of Manny. He is gutsy inside the ring but he is gutless when it comes to firing those advisers kuno who are stealing from his coppers. I now have doubts how he would manage the country if ever elected as President…if he could not fire crooks who are stealing his own money, how could he fire those, especially that Canadian and a former Governor, who could steal the country’s money. Something to think guys!

Best kept secert Mesobolin and tridenosen H these supplements were used by The Russians to set Olympic records in power lifting. They test negative in drug testing because they come from root plants. Tridenosen was used for race horses but it’s now avalible to humans

Getting USANA in different countries, you could say & simply put it this way, really depends on the soil of the land where the nutrients grow. Ive taken USANA, its not available in your local supermarket, the only way is to become a member much like “chain/pyramid marketing” LOL, i kid you not. Its a great product though beats Blackmores and AMCAL….etc. Its on the top of the list of all supplement.

props to ariza for keeping the PAC engine running. mayweather will insist though that manny is taking ‘illegal’ supplements, but who cares what that clown says anyway.

USANA products are the supplements that Manny have been using and the training regimen and 100% dedication and above all God’s guidance is what makes Manny the greatest fighter of our era.

Yo Alex, waddup bro. Great blog brother, can i get your opinion on cla? I know a lot of supplements are bullshit and i feel sorry for the average person who goes into gnc and gets raped up the ass with bullshit. Nonetheless perhaps you should with hold what Manny takes until he’s done fighting bc other ppl might mimic it. As well you guys should get endorsements from the company you’ll be promoting. all the best bro punch koncz for me hahaha

Hi Alex,
I sent an email to The Wildcard about Mannys recent Acid Reflux problem. There is some helpful information there on curing Acid Reflux and I am thinking you are the best man to be getting that info to – if you need me to mail it to you you have my email address.
Best of luck.
