I am no athlete! but I started training for water polo last week. I had some HJ samples, i took it half an hour before training on an empty stomach with some blue Powerade.
I only trained for an hour, (and wanting to dry heave!!) and the last 15 min I seemed to want to do a little more but had to go to work.

Then in the car to work, about 15 min later, I had all this energy!! I wanted to go for more…
it had to have been the Hornet Juice, because I have never felt like that after swimming training! And those of you who know what is like after not doing any training for over a year, when you’re done… damn! you are finished!
So in my opinion, Hornet Juice seems to work right at the end when your bdy really needs it the most.

How many Kcal in VAAM? Doesn’t say on their website.

PS I have been eating hornet larvae before my cardio for years, but only because they’re delicious and I dislike japanese cars.

[...] The concept does not sound completely preposterous, but it is hard to believe the claims made by the company. There are quite a few happy customer testimonials included on the websites, and Hornet Juice is known to have been used by at least a few Olympians. I recently read a positive product review by Thomas Bubendorfer over at Complete Running. [...]

Hi Susan, no I never tried Vaam, but if you’re curious, it is available from http://www.vaam-energy.com . It contains a not FDA-approved sweetener, though.

Just like me to post, then think of something else to ask. You mentioned that it worked on the same premise as Vaam… did you get a chance to try Vaam out over an extended training period as you did the hornet juice? I’m just curious how they compared…

I remember first hearing about hornet juice in 2004 when Mizuki Noguchi won the women’s olympic marathon. I googled to check this before I posted a reply, and lo-and-behold, she’s mentioned right on their site…

When I first heard about the hornet juice thing, I didn’t realize it was something that was commercially available. I’m kind of intrigued enough to try it now.
