Well, here's the positive:
"Will not cause genital shrinkage in men
Will not cause increased facial hair growth or masculinization in women
Will not result in competitive disqualification"

"Nutrition" store? I'm not so sure about places that hawk outrageously priced "health" products of questionable or nonexistent value. Come to think of it, I am sure. :rolleyes:

Hello Trimommy:
I found interesting your question, particulary because I was not aware of this supplement...
So I went through the net to do some reading and well, seems like something that "in paper" might be great. But I read and heard that some competitive athletes at pro level, particulary in cycling during stage races use this stuff.
For normal tri enthusiast I will say that from a practical point of view it might end up being a waste of money, and with still some little scientific data that support the greatness of this Oxydrene.
Stick with a good diet, some vitamins, maybe some protein powder, how about some egg whites....will end up being cheaper and always safer.

Even nutrition stores have to make a living Hitman.
It seems to me, when you have more oxygen in your blood, everything works better. That is the Hemoglobin's job. I have too little of this priceless stuff. I'm interested!

I don't mind them making a living. I mind them selling overpriced products that may or may not live up to their claims.
Oxydrene, like another high-priced supplement, Optygen, contains Rhodiola rosea (also known as "golden root"). Some studies have shown that it may have some benefits for the athlete. All athletes would presumably love to have more hemoglobin and hematocrits in their bloodstream. Banned methods of accomplishing this include EPO and blood doping.
And for those interested, the active ingredients of these products are readily available at substantially more reasonable costs.
