Alexis Apostolellis

Hi, my name is Alexis Apostolellis, current SA Road Tandem champion. As a cyclist and endurance athlete I am always looking for that extra that gives me the edge for training and competition. However, being a bit of a health nut at the time (4 years back) I was always a bit reluctant to try anything with any unnatural ingredients. I was always looking for the healthy, organic type product.

 To my surprise I discovered that Cellfood® was a completely natural product with absolutely no harmful elements. I started taking Cellfood and found an immediate improvement in my performance on the bike and most importantly my immune system which seemed to obtain an immediate boost. I pass through winter without any type of flu or cold which is an athlete's worst nightmare. Working a full day and training as a semi professional athlete puts huge stress on ones immune system and Cellfood seems to counterbalance this stress.

Soon after, I started using Cellfood Sport after participating in some tests at the University of Pretoria on the product (3 years back). The tests showed conclusive benefits of Cellfood Sport for an athlete giving me that extra in the sharp bursts that one often needs in cycling with the added benefit of helping with weight loss when taking it at night.

Recently I started mountain biking which requires greater skill in bike handling and as a result more falls resulting in cuts and abrasions (road rash!). The healing time when applying Cellskin Gel® is remarkable and is also great for the very dry skin cyclists get during winter.

I would recommend Cellfood®, Cellfood Sport and Cellskin Gel® as a complete package for any cyclist who is trying to increase performance and maintain a healthy immune system.

Grenville Scullard

Hi, my name is Grenville Scullard, three times World Masters Track Cycling champion and ex World Masters record holder in the 1000m time trial. I hold 8 national records and am a qualified UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) coach.

Some 10 years ago, I happened upon a product called Cellfood®, through a friend at work. With some skepticism, I decided to try it out. Within 2 weeks I felt a significant difference in my training, my concentration and recoveries improved and I suddenly had more get up and go. To top this, one of the most remarkable benefits apart from performance, has been the healing process. Cycling, being a speed sport brings with it the danger of the odd crash. In the past 10 years I have had three pretty bad crashes and Cellfood® has definitely aided in the recovery process. I estimate healing time is halved and scar tissue is virtually non-existent. It is also important to mention that I have only suffered with a mild dose of flu, four times in 10 years, despite training throughout winter in temperatures usually close to zero. This is unusual for a top athlete, as upper respiratory tract infections are relatively common. I attribute this to the boosting of the immune system, enzyme support for effective nutritional absorption and oxygenation for the protection and repair of the throat.

When I was asked to try out Cellfood Sport it was with less skepticism and with great anticipation. I wasn’t disappointed and to my surprise, as a sprinter, I started competing with the long distance riders. Taking Cellfood Sport throughout a track meeting has improved my endurance by at least 10% giving me enough reserves to get to the finish and capitalize on my sprint. The usual burn associated with oxygen debt seems to be less, and recoveries even better. My fat percentage has dropped although muscle mass has remained. On long rides like the infamous Jock of the Bushveld (150km), I have experienced far less cramping. For a sprinter who trains very little past 80km, unbelievable!

Being a fulltime IT Consultant and trying to keep up with the youth is very demanding and requires immense mental strength. Cellfood Longevity has helped me retain focus in work training and coaching. I feel that Cellfood Longevity gives me emotional support in that the nutrients and genetic base are good brain food. The additional ATP also seems to give me the required explosiveness if taken just before a time trial.

I have shared the three products with all the athletes I coach and their feedback is echoed. My athlete’s ages range from under 16 to 60 plus, highlighting that the product is for all. Of the 17 riders I took to the 2006 South African Track Cycling Championships, 15 came home with 58 medals out of 228 (25%) proving that with the ability to train harder and SUPER nutrition, the results will be achieved.

Most importantly, there are no banned substances used in the products and they are natural and safe to use, which for a coach is the ultimate.

SPONSORSHIP - 2000 to 2010

Dear Executive - Oxygen For Life

2010 has brought about the tenth year of the Club's inception and sponsorship association with OFL. It is therefore without doubt LPCC is synonymous with OFL. The club originally started out with 12 members and now has 80 members and although not a staggering amount, the quality of the riders in the club, particularly on the track, is extremely high.

It is with pride and gratitude that we have been involved with OFL and had the benefit of world class products to support us. OFL has not only suppofted the club but provided product sponsorship to numerous club members competing at national and international level. Most definitely a significant contribution to their successes.

LPCC is without a doubt the most successful club in the history of South African Track cycling.

The current South African Track Cycling National medal tally for the club over the past 10 years on the track stands at 268 medals.

The World Masters medal standing is at 26 medals (11 Gold)
We can also boast the first South African lady to get a World Championships medal at the B Worlds in Switzerland in 2003.

Probably the acid test is how good the performances have been. LPCC riders currently hold 21 SA Track records Our successes are as a direct result of the support shown by OFL and words cannot express the immense contribution not only to the individuals and the Club but to South African Cycling as well.

More than anything we at LPCC are thankful for the OFL friendships we have gained over the years.

Once again a BIG Thank Youl

Lourens Roslee

Hi, my name is Lourens Roslee, I am a professional Body Builder and Weight Lifter.

1. I have competed in many body building competitions all around the world.
2. In 1994 I represented South Africa at the World Championships, it was a very exciting time in my life, to represent such a wonderful country and compete internationally. I also had the honour of Nelson Mandela coming to the airport to see me off to the championships.
3. In 1995 I once again represented South Africa in power lifting, squat, bench press and dead lift competitions. I came 4th in the dead lift competition.

That same year I won the South African Body Building Championships.

1. In 1996 I participated in my first bench press competition and I came 3rd but a subsequent neck injury put my competing on hold.
2. I returned to competitions in 1999 and competed in the South African championships. I won the bench press and broke the existing record.
3. The following year I won again and broke my existing record for the bench press.
4. In the following few years I competed in various other competitions throughout the world, such as New Zealand and Australia. I was in the TOP 10 in the world for bench press, 242 and a half kilos.

Through all my hard work and training I have achieved great results. However I must admit that I had a secret aid, Cellfood Sport. When I found out about Cellfood Sport I began taking it immediately. I enjoyed the fact that it was an all natural product as the industry is very strict regarding performance enhancing products. I benefited so much using Cellfood Sport that people began asking questions and wondering what I was taking, as I was performing at my peak. Many people thought I was using something illegal. Cellfood Sport is 100% natural.

I am still using Cellfood Sport these days, 1 hour before my training and during my training I continuously sip it. I find that my endurance levels are much higher as I am doing very strenuous exercise with lots of heavy weights. Another great benefit from using Cellfood Sport is the incredible recovery time. It is truly amazing. Although Cellfood Sport is the product I mostly use I also maintain my normal health levels by using Cellfood® and Cellfood Longevity as well.

I am a firm believer in Cellfood Sport and recommend it to all sport enthusiasts.

Theo Verster

Hi, my name is Theo Verster, I am an ex-Olympic swimmer and previous world record holder. I now coach some of South Africa's brightest swimming prospects. I personally feel the benefit of regular Cellfood Sport use, Cellfood Sport is one of those rare products which really has a tangible effect on your every day well being, and I find that my energy levels have greatly increased since using the product. I now find that the 5-6 hours I spend coaching in the sun each day no longer has the draining effect on my energy. My wife, who is an optometrist, also began using the product and she has found a great reduction in her stress levels and her cravings to binge during the day.

Cellfood Sport is an amazing product and the advantages for sportsmen and in particular swimmers, are great! All of my swimmers use Cellfood Sport and the effect the product has on them is fantastic. I find that my swimmers recover a lot faster after racing which is a huge advantage as a swimmer may compete in a number of races in a short space of time and with Cellfood Sport they feel as good before their 6th race as they did before their 1st, so that's a big plus. I also find that Cellfood Sport helps my swimmers to remain calm and really focus on their race beforehand and of course it cuts down on their fatigue levels. I only wish that I had known about the product when I was still swimming.

As a biochemist and sport scientist consulting the nutritional supplement industry, it is important to rely on scientific information as made available by sound peer-reviewed double blind placebo controlled studies.

Cellfood Sport, the product has been evaluated by a South African University on sport people, resulting in amongst others a reduction in lactic acid accumulation and increases in VO2max and haemoglobin saturation.

Research also backs the inclusion of the three actives namely Cellfood®, Citrin K and l-carnitine. Cellfood® supplies cells with nascent oxygen, 78 minerals, 34 enzymes and 17 amino acids. Citrin K helps to control appetite and also inhibits the enzyme responsible for the conversion of excess sugar into fat. The amino acid l-carnitine helps with the transport of long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are oxidised to generate energy.

People who would like to lose weight, follow a balanced diet and exercise at least three times a week will benefit from using Cellfood Sport - Science won’t let you down.

Oxygen, Carnitine and Exercise

Introduction

There is no shortage of multinutrient supplements available to subscribers to wellness, recreational and performance fitness enthusiasts, and the competitive athlete.  As diverse as these products and manufacturers may be, they all have one thing in common –claims of uniqueness and superiority.  It is in exclusivity of contents and mode of action that these claims are realised, and Cellfood® and Cellfood Sport qualify for both.  No other nutritional supplements can claim to function in the same way as Cellfood® and Cellfood Sport.

Aerobic metabolism and fat utilization

There is no doubting the value of oxygen for our physiological functioning as we are geared for ‘aerobic’metabolism.  [It should be remembered however that we do have an alternative ‘anaerobic’metabolic pathway].  This applies to us at rest, as well as during exercise.  The determining factor as to which metabolic pathway is the dominant one during exercise is the INTENSITY of that exercise.  As long as sufficient oxygen is available at muscular level, energy is provided via the aerobic system.  As exercise intensity increases, it becomes more difficult for cardiorespiratory dynamics to meet the increasing demand for oxygen.

The aerobic system is unique in that it is the only system that can utilize fat as a substrate for energy provision.

Supplemental oxygen

The oxygen in Cellfood® and Cellfood Sport is not present in molecular form, but is rather liberated by catalytic converters.  Oxygen is present in NASCENT form.  Oxygen is not a fuel  –it is a catalyst in the aerobic pathway.  This ensures that the pathway has its highest energy yield, with the most innocuous by-products.

Fat metabolism

Stored fat is broken down into Free Fatty Acids (FFA’s) and glycerol which are taken up by the power houses (mitochondria) of our cells to be converted into energy. In order to enter the mitochondria, a carrier molecule is required. Carnitine is such a carrier. This combination of nascent oxygen and Carnitine provides an ideal physiological environment to promote fat metabolism.

It must be stressed that this in no way compensates for poor nutritional habits or a lack of adequate (aerobic) exercise. These products in fact yield their best results when used in conjunction with exercise and prudent eating habits. They are not fat-burners, but complete, natural and bio-available supplements.

Total supplementation

In addition to the nascent oxygen and Carnitine, Cellfood® and Cellfood Sport provide all the micronutrients necessary for optimal supplementation. This makes these products unique in content and action.
