STUDIES
CLINICALLY PROVEN TO WORK
Â
PR Lotion’s effectiveness in fighting fatigue and soreness has been validated in two peer reviewed clinical studies with more on the way.
STUDY #1
SAN DIEGO STATE CLINICAL STUDY
Mark Kern, PhD. RD. is a professor of Exercise & Nutritional Sciences at San Diego State University. He conducted a rigorous Institutional Review Board-approved, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, cross-over study of PR Lotion in 20 pro- and semi-pro cyclists and triathletes. The subjects completed a range of high-intensity exercise and performance tests varying in duration after applying PR Lotion.
RESULT 1
PROVEN TO MEANINGFULLY INCREASE LACTATE LEVELS LEADING TO AN IMPROVEMENT IN MUSCLE EFFICIENCY
THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY
Following a series of high-intensity time trials, athletes who applied PR Lotion experienced 11% higher blood lactate levels when compared to the control group.
THE IMPACT ON THE BODY
Increased lactate levels help to buffer the muscle during and deliver more fuel to the muscles anaerobic workouts while simultaneously reducing acid build-up. More lactate reduces exercise-induced fatigue during a workout and reduces soreness post workout.
RESULT 2
POVEN TO DELIVER LOWER HEART RATE AT SAME WORKLOAD
THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY
Athletes who applied PR Lotion displayed a significantly lower heart rate (3.1% lower) and lower level of perceived exertion (2.6% lower) at the 15-minute mark of a 1-hour time trial when compared to the control group under the same training loads.
THE IMPACT ON THE BODY
A lower heart rate means less physical stress on the body, which allows an athlete to extend the duration of their activity and perform longer.
Â
RESULT 3
PROVEN TO REDUCE
MUSCLE SORENESS BY 53%
THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY
Following a series of high-intensity time trials over the course of 48-hours, athletes who applied PR Lotion experienced 53.5% reduction in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) compared to the control group who experienced a continued rise in pain of 34.3%.
THE IMPACT ON THE BODY
A significantly shortened, less painful recovery allows athletes to feel significantly better after high intensity workouts and get back to training sooner.

STUDY #2
SOURCE ENDURANCE INDEPENDENT STUDY
Source Endurance, a training and testing service that specializes in endurance sports, conducted a randomized, controlled and blinded test that evaluated the impact of PR Lotion on high-intensity interval cycling performance.
PROVEN TO INCREASE INTERVAL
COMPLETED BEFORE EXHAUSTION BY 25%
THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY
Cyclists that tested with PR Lotion were able to finish substantially more high-intensity intervals before experiencing exhaustion when compared to the control group without any adverse side effects.
THE IMPACT ON THE BODY
Gains in interval completions allow athletes to improve performance without the typical side-effects associated with the oral use of bicarb.

PR Lotion is probably the most innovative product introduced in sports for a long time. Our testing has shown significant improvement when using the product which means it lets you train/compete harder for longer and have less soreness from it. No one else has even attempted something like this and AmpHP got it right.
Not only has this been a staple in my own training and racing, but this topical aid has become a favorite in Peak State Fit triathletes and cyclists alike. We recommend PR Lotion to all of our athletes in racing and for long, intense training days, but also for post-session pH buffering to yield an environment conducive to muscle recovery and in preparation for the days ahead.
The ability to train harder and recover faster is the holy grail of athletic improvement, and combining proper training with PR Lotion has shown itself to be an innovative and effective way to help boost performance.
In the pursuit of excellence, we are always looking for ways to get 1% better to improve our performance and compete at the highest level possible. PR Lotion is a cutting edge product that allows our athletes to get better and give that extra effort to become the best that they can be.
I use the product with my patients as a non-invasive way to help treat soreness, by slowing down the inflammation process or reducing the effects of muscle soreness by alkalinizing the tissue. The use of the product is simple and effective, and my patients love the results. With healthy athletes I recommend the product for two different reasons: 1. to recover faster, and 2. to perform at a high level for a prolonged period of time.
We introduced PR Lotion this past summer and I was able to keep the training intensity high without the normal moaning and groaning from soreness that usually followed that block of training. My guys were a little skeptical at first but after they used it a couple of times I heard a lot of ‘hey coach, you got any more of that honey mustard stuff?
