Royal Velvet Testimonies     We have received thousands of unsolicited testimonies over the past five years. None of the following movie stars, professional athletes, coaches, doctors, scientists, authors, or people have received compensation for their testimony.         As a Hollywood Actor and Stage performer, Frank Adonis appeared in many great films such as: "The French Connection" "Raging Bull" "Eyes of Laura Mars" "Wall Street" "The Juror" A friend of mine gave me a bottle of your product about a month ago and I started taking it and, within a week, I started to feel energized at all hours of the day. In addition, as an actor I noticed an improvement in my memory. Most recently, I have seen a dramatic re-shaping of my body. I am gaining muscle mass and I have not trained or worked out in months! As a avid body builder most of my life, I noticed increased muscle mass without exercising, fat loss without dieting, higher energy levels, lower blood pressure, lower LDL cholesterol, younger and thicker skin, hair re-growth, wrinkles disappearing, sharper vision and hearing and of course increased memory retention... I know this sounds uncanny but, believe me it is true. I am 66 years old and really feel 35 years younger. I have always been in good shape and never looked my age but this product has become my miracle. I not only feel 35 years younger but I look at least 20 years younger. As an actor, this is a miracle product! Thank you for your product, I remain sincerely;   Frank Adonis .     "In the pursuit of large, well-defined musculature, men and women have been searching for the magic bullet. IGF-1 is it. According to researchers, IGF-1 increases lean body mass, reduces fat, builds bone, muscle, and nerves. IGF-1 derived from velvet antler may be the answer that all bodybuilders and our senior citizens have been looking for, an answer that may even promote greater health and extend life. So if you are interested in building muscle tissue, increasing strength and endurance, and turning back the aging clock by 20 or more years, be ye young or be ye old, IGF-1 is the secret of the fountain of youth."   Dr. Alex Duarte O.D., Ph.D.   from his book, "Velvet Deer Antler with IGF-1 : The Secret of Prolonged Strength and Youth" 1999     Earl Christy, member of the New York Jets Super Bowl III World Championship Team says, "Since I began using [Royal Velvet], I have lost 30 pounds and have succeeded in losing body fat and building leaner muscle." I feel healthier, and far more energetic."       I began using [Royal Velvet] about 8 weeks before my last bodybuilding competition. My boyfriend was training for the same show and was also using it. He introduced it to me. The results I had were amazing. I succeeded in losing the body fat that I wanted to lose, but retained the muscle that I had worked so hard to gain. Two years ago I was competing and winning at 119. This past May, I competed at 125. That's a 6 pound difference, which doesn't sound like much, but when you take into consideration that it was a 6 pound difference in muscle -- that's a huge difference, especially for a woman. And I credit it for aiding me in my quest to retain lean tissue while losing body fat.   My energy levels definitely stayed higher for the contest in May than for any other competition I had trained for. This is key, considering I go through a 16-week contest prep/diet period. Maintaining the necessary energy levels over those 16 weeks can be difficult, if not impossible. During this time, the only supplemental difference I had between this contest and the last one was that I was using [Royal Velvet].   But I think one of the most important things about this particular product is that it helped keep me interested in my boyfriend on an intimate level. Training for a bodybuilding show takes a lot out of a person, and often the intimacy in a relationship is sacrificed. This past contest I maintained a higher libido and kept my boyfriend -- and myself -- much happier in the bedroom! Not to mention it helped relieve some of the stress and tension that training for a bodybuilding show can create. So, I truly believe that it helped me in my contest preparation last May. Attached are some pictures taken during this period. The picture in the bikini was taken the day of the contest. The other pictures were taken about 5 weeks before the show.   Sincerely,   Gerri Bushkovski Chicago, IL     As I have told you many times over the phone, I am absolutely amazed at the results I get taking your Royal Velvet. Professional baseball is an incredibly competitive sport. Even though we all play as a team, there is a helluva lot of competition on the field and even in the locker room. When I am taking 15 sprays a day, my body composition is incredible. My muscles are so rock hard they seem to be chiseled out of stone.   Last week two of the guys on the team separately commented that it looked like I was on "the juice" (steroids). I know a lot of guys who do roids, but in this day and age it can be career ending, or at least get ya in a whole helluva lot of trouble. Why should I do that's  when I got your Velvet that works even better without all those negative side effects.   My abs have never been so sculpted. I can still go out and have a few beers with my buddies after a game and never does my gut get flabby like theirs does. And I know you don't like to talk about the libido thing, but I can't begin to tell ya what it has done for my sex life. I can go at it longer and harder than I could when I was 19 years old. I was doing a photo shoot for a magazine a month ago and the babes were hitting on me left and right.   You know how you keep on telling me the reason I should be taking Royal Velvet is for the brain thing and I am so 'hung up' on the body and sex stuff? Well, OK, I'll admit that I do hit better, make less errors, and play better all around ball. The one thing that really sticks out on the velvet in regards to the brain is my mental clarity and no longer getting  depressed.   I decided to call it my joy juice. Nothing makes me happier than playing baseball, looking good, great sex, and feeling like a million bucks. Your Royal Velvet does all this and more for me. Thanks Blake, you are the man.     Name withheld (Due to his contractual advertising obligations with a major firm, we cannot give his name.)       Andrew Bostinto, founder and President of the National Gym Association, affirms the tremendous opportunity that awaits all body-builders that use [Royal Velvet]. This amazing product can help all adult male and female body-builders reach their personal fitness goals. Mr. Bostinto states: "What is amazing is that these are all natural ingredients."       After being on 'The Homeostasis Protocol' for several months now, I notice a  big difference in the way I feel about myself, how I feel physically, and  mentally. Before starting on the 'protocol' I was always looking for the  perfect supplement because of boxing. After trying most of them with no  success, I came in contact with TRIAD. Knowing my body is properly hydrated,  and all my trillions of cells are properly nutrified I have the confidence to get in the ring knowing my body is in TRUE shape. I can't live without  the Royal Velvet.   Darrin Humphrey [NOTE: Darrin is an up and coming cruiserweight boxer. In the years he has been on The Protocol, he has not lost a single fight. He has moved up in the world rankings a few hundred spots. One more successful fight and he will be ranked in the top 10 in the world.]   Here is a December 2004 update:   After being on The Protocol again for a few months, I wonder why I ever got off.  Not only did I come off the most impressive win I have had in boxing, I felt very strong throughout the fight and I am now ranked by several divisions in the boxing world.  My training is better and I recover at a much faster rate.  The extra endurance is good thing to have.  Weight loss again was a by-product without trying to lose any.   Kristy, my wife, was cutting an avocado and cut very deep into her finger, needing 8 stitches.  After she cut herself she felt very dizzy and said she was going to faint. It wouldn't have been the first time.  Anyway, I ran and got the Royal Velvet and sprayed 4 times under her tongue and she no longer felt dizzy a few seconds later...it was amazing.  We were both surprised.    Darrin Humphrey       Being a former collegiate athlete, I am no stranger to working out. When a former teammate of mine started talking about this new, state of the art, health product and the effects he was getting from it, it peaked my interest, needless to say. I remember him continually saying that I would have to try it to believe what it does for you. Wow, I must now say that I know what he means (and then some)!   An unexpected (but much welcomed) improvement that has been incredible is in how clearly I've been able to think and I feel very little stress anymore. It is almost like someone put a micro-computer chip in my brain that makes it work much more efficiently without trying nearly as hard. It is one of those things that you have to try to really believe it (trust me, it has done much more than I expected it to).   I look forward to turning a friend of mine on to it, since he is a personal trainer and trains professional athletes! Thanks. I plan to use it from now on, and will stock up so I do not run out!   Lynn Hankins       I was first introduced to and started using [Royal Velvet] in July of 1999. I made it part of my daily regiment, originally to increase my stamina and build my muscles while burning body fat at the same time. I am 35 years old and exercise for about an hour or so at a time, 3 to 4 times a week. It is now the end of February 2000 and I am extremely impressed with the results! People have commented on my appearance and I have been reaching new heights in the gym that I thought were only obtainable by using drugs like steroids (which I never considered taking due to the unwanted side effects). However, [Royal Velvet] has not only increased my strength and endurance, but has given me much more in ways that I had not anticipated!   For instance, the person who shared this with me had no idea that I have arthritis. I would wake up in the morning and my joints would ache severely (especially my wrists and elbows) until eleven o'clock or noon. Now, although it took me a few weeks to start really noticing my improvements in the gym, it didn't take but 3 or 4 days for me to notice that my morning arthritis pains were completely gone. The only time the pain has come back is when I ran out of the spray and couldn't get a hold of any for a couple of weeks because I was out of town vacationing in Florida. Now I try to have at least a couple extra bottles on hand!   Also, my hair stylist of 17 years had noticed that I had lost a significant amount of grey on my head and asked if I was coloring my hair. I'll make sure I never run out of this amazing formula again!!!   Rich Patterson       "A completely natural product, deer velvet has been one of the most prized health tonics in Traditional Chinese Medicine for more than 2000 years. The legend that it is an aphrodisiac aside- clinical studies show deer velvet not only helps prevent illnesses such as cold and flu, but also improves athletic performance and has anti-inflammatory effects. In Korea, deer antler velvet is so trusted that it is given to children as a matter of course during autumn and early winter to prevent illness. New Zealand research on New Zealand red deer antler velvet has shown that it stimulates the body's immune system, which wards off infections. New Zealand red deer velvet appears to promote antibody production by increasing the number of white blood cells to fight 'intruder' bugs."   jadecampus.com PR Newswire 11-18-98       "The medical claims for velvet deer antler are comprehensive and ambitious, and preliminary research tends to support most of them. Among the numerous claims, Velvet deer antler can: improve blood circulation, reverse atherosclerosis, and possibly reduce the incidence of fatal heart attacks; increase the quality and quantity of blood production in treating kidney disorders and anemia; modulate the immune system, bringing it back to an even keel when it is depressed or overactive; increase muscular strength and nerve function; and generally boost energy. What's in the antlers that can produce these effects? Cartilage, for one, which contains a substance called N-acetyl-glucosamine, which speeds up wound healing. The antlers also contain chondroitin sulfate, an anti-inflammatory substance that in concentrated form has been shown to reduce the incidence of fatal heart attacks reportedly by 400%, according to a six year study. A natural growth hormone called IGF-1 is found in high levels in velvet deer antlers; this substance helps to keep the body lean and the muscles well-developed."   Burton Goldberg  from his book "Heart Disease, Stroke & High Blood Pressure" 1998       "In 1988, Japanese scientist Dr. Wang and his colleagues published a report indicating that subjects given red deer velvet antler had a marked increase in the number of blood components thought to be related to the immune system. "In the United States, Arthur Johnson, MD, from the University of Minnesota at Duluth, worked with a small molecular weight protein derived from cartilage that has the unique ability to modulate the immune system. To modulate the immune system means to stimulate it when it is depressed and/or when fighting a chronic disease, and to reduce its activity when it is overactive, as in arthritis, where the body's immune system attacks itself.   "Studies performed at the Invermay Research Center in Otago, New Zealand indicated that antler extracts improve cell growth and have anti-tumor and anti-viral properties. In addition, high levels of IGF-1, an insulin-like growth factor, are found in deer antler. IGF-1 may prove to promote muscular development and/or prevent muscular atrophy as the body ages. It is potentially useful, therefore, as part of an anti-aging program and as a supplement for body builders. These findings proved that traditional uses for red deer velvet antler are justifiable."   Dr. James Devlin "Red Deer Velvet Antler : A Powerful Traditional Chinese Medicinal Tonic" 1998       "I have been trialing New Zealand Deer Velvet for approximately three months and I am very pleased with the product. I have been on the NZ swim team for five years and am using velvet as an essential part of my build up towards the Commonwealth Games. Although I have no control subject, I can state that this season my recovery between workouts seems greater than in the past especially since I have upped my daily intake of velvet to twice daily as opposed to once a day. I can also state that I have not been sick in any way this season to date, which is rare in athletes who verge on overtraining by working out 2 to 3 times a day."   Nick Tongue Olympic swimmer (Atlanta)       Thanks so much for the Royal Velvet. My knees are so much better. I was beginning to think there wasn't anything I would be able to do to continue playing (my sport).   Mike Donn       Yes, I tried [Royal Velvet] for three weeks and the results were amazing!! I purposely maintained my diet and workout routine to see if it would add more strength and muscle mass. Guess what? It worked! I checked my body composition after the three-week trial. Although my weight remained the same, my muscle mass in my arms, chest, and legs increased by an inch! I have been working out for over two years now and I have never (and I mean NEVER) had my muscle mass increase so much in such a short amount of time. The only reasonable and rational conclusion that caused the increase in lean muscle mass was the [Royal Velvet]! In addition, it is so simple to use. How can you go wrong when all that is required is to use it twice a day (when you wake up in the morning and when you retire at night for bed)?   Would I recommend [Royal Velvet] to others? Yes, absolutely! To anyone who'd like to see significant improvements in their workouts. For both strength and endurance you can't lose.   Thank you again! Very truly yours,   Joseph L. Wilson       I play semi-pro baseball. I have tried everything to help improve my skills and strength. Nothing has even come close to the benefits I have received with your Royal Velvet. My energy is the best ever. My recovery time from a game is 90% better. And I am playing the best I have ever done. Thanks! Royal Velvet is great!   Moises Cartagena  Puerto Rico
