Supplementation FAQ
Here are the supplement topics that we at Apex Fitness Group feel are the most commonly asked questions.
What makes Apex supplements different from others?
We sell programs, not products. Our supplements are designed to complement each other based on individual diets and goals, preventing excessive intakes and conserving finances. Our formulas are produced by a pharmaceutically licensed manufacturer incorporating drug GMPs (good manufacturing practices) and available USP validation methods. Our products use of sophisticated delivery systems to release nutrients in the right place and at the right time.
If a member is on the Apex Program, can he or she still take other supplements?
Our supplements are for supporting health and fitness goals, and by maintaining the Apex brand for this purpose there is no reason to waste money on other products. We do not recommend or produce supplements for medicinal purposes. That should only be done by a qualified clinical health care professional. Check with your physician if taking supplements for treatment of a medical condition.
If I don't take the supplements, does that mean I won't get any results or that the results won't happen as fast?
Proper supplementation aids in creating an ideal physiological environment for change. Our goal is to never have the body in want for anything but calories. When food intake and exercise participation are maximized, supplementation can offer an edge in the pursuit of one's goal. If a person decides not to supplement, then reaching the goal may take impeccable adherence to difficult food and exercise regimes.
Those in pursuit of lofty goals such as very low body fat and a high degree of LBM (bodybuilding/fitness competitions) or maximal athletic performance and recovery (such as in competitive sport) may never reach their full potential with food and exercise modulations alone. Proper use of supplementation can hasten results economically, increasing motivation and adherence. Goal-enhancing supplements are not necessary to maintain a typical exerciser's goal.
How is the Apex Multi-Vitamin better than Centrum or One-a-Day?
Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, Apex supplements are "tailored" to complement your diet and to remain in a safe and optimal range. Our formula uses sophisticated delivery systems to release nutrients in the right place, at the right time.
Do I have to keep taking the supplements once I reach my goal?
For optimal health you should always use a multivitamin and complementary anti-oxidant, but anything else should not be necessary for the vast majority of exercisers. Many people continue to use a meal replacement formula due to its convenience, economic advantage, or just in case whole food is not available.
If Apex supplements are so good, why haven't I heard of them before?
Apex designs complete fitness programs. Supplementation is an important part of this goal, so we have formulas manufactured for use in a complete program.
We believe that proper supplement use should be based upon a person's education, food, exercise and goal. Because of this, we do not sell our products at health food stores, grocery stores or through discount warehouses. These locations are for consumers who buy from advertisements, not education.
Our formulas are only available at facilities that utilize our systems, support materials and have a staff educated on the proper use of our compounds. Because of this, there is virtually no indiscriminant use of our supplements.
How can I be sure that the Apex delivery system is as good as you say it is?
We test it. The supplement industry is required to perform one test - disintegration. According to the law, a supplement must fall apart and pass through a screen of specified size within 45 minutes. Following drug GMPs and pharmaceutical USPs, as our manufacturer does, requires multiple tests from raw materials to the finished product. Over 26 quantitative and qualitative tests in all. Our manufacturer goes beyond disintegration and performs extensive dissolution testing.
This allows us to verify what, where and when the active ingredients may be utilized by the body. It is interesting to note that 12% of the raw materials presented to our manufacturer are refused upon delivery due to failing the initial raw material purity and potency test. Manufacturers that do not test to this degree may never know the quality of their raw materials.
Are Apex products all-natural?
As natural as can be. All nutrients are extracted from natural food products, put in their natural bio-available forms (saving the body work), enrobed in natural gums and cellulose for controlled release, then tableted and coated with only natural fibers.
My client can't swallow pills. Can she get her vitamins another way?
Try putting the tablet inside a tablespoonful of applesauce or yogurt. If that does not work, break the tablet into pieces or blend the tablet in a blender with juice. Though this may affect the delivery systems of the pill, taking Apex supplements this way is still far better than taking anything else on the market because the formula is still intact.
A person I know sells supplements from some company and says they are FDA approved. Are Apex supplements FDA approved?
No one sells FDA approved supplements. The FDA is not in the business of approving supplements; it is not their domain. They can, however, disapprove of a supplement. If the FDA determines that a particular substance poses a serious health risk, then it can have it removed from market. Our manufacturer is an FDA licensed pharmaceutical lab, and as such follows the GMPs set up to make drugs. This ensures purity and potency
