3. How does MPOWER work?
MPOWER works in a very unique way. It’s designed to immediately stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis, a natural process that has been attributed to the exceptional leanness and endurance of the world's greatest athletes. Mitochondria burn fat and MPOWER increases the number and size of mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis) inside muscle. This causes an immediate increase in energy and long-lasting fat burning!
4. What makes MPOWER unique?
MPOWER is the world’s first dietary supplement to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis!
5. How do you take MPOWER?
Dr. Darren Burke (PhD) recommends 1 capsule of MPOWER in the morning and 1 capsule in the afternoon for the first week. After the first week, take 2 capsules of MPOWER in the morning and 2 capsules in the afternoon. On training days, take one of your daily servings (1-2 capsules) 30-60 minutes before exercise.
6. Is it okay to stack MPOWER with other RIVALUS products?
Yes. MPOWER can be stacked with other RIVALUS products. As a matter of fact, multiple RIVALUS products can be stacked. Many athletes are stacking MPOWER with ENCHARGE and PROMASIL to create what has quickly become know as the athlete’s ‘Triple Threat Stack’!
7. Is there research behind the MPOWER formula?
Yes. Like all RIVALUS products, MPOWER was formulated based on the latest scientific research. All RIVALUS products must be certified as SAEF® (Safe And Effective First) before they can be sold. SAEF is a university laboratory-based program that involves testing each product on male and female athletes in order to confirm that it consistently maintains normal physiological function (safe) while improving body composition and performance (effective).
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study 40 male and female athletes using MPOWER for 8 weeks and exercising regularly decreased body fat by up to 14% and increased energy by up to 60%, compared to changes of only 6% and 12% respectively for placebo group subjects.
8. Will I gain weight once I go off MPOWER?
When going off MPOWER, you will still maintain the fat loss you achieved while you were on it as long as you continue to exercise and follow a healthy diet.
9. Does MPOWER contain ephedra?
No, MPOWER does not contain ephedra.
10. Do you have to use MPOWER everyday?
You do not have to use MPOWER everyday. However, for maximum fat loss, MPOWER is designed to be taken everyday.

5. How do you take ENCHARGE?
Dr. Darren Burke (PhD) recommends 3 capsules of ENCHARGE in the morning and 3 capsules in the afternoon. On training days, take one of your daily servings (3 capsules) 30 to 60 minutes before exercise. For best results use ENCHARGE every day for 8 weeks and combine with resistance exercise 3-5 days per week.
6. Is it okay to stack ENCHARGE with other RIVALUS products?
Yes. ENCHARGE can be stacked with other RIVALUS products. As a matter of fact, multiple RIVALUS products can be stacked. Many athletes are stacking ENCHARGE with MPOWER and PROMASIL to create what has quickly become know as the athlete’s ‘Triple Threat Stack’!
7. Is there research behind the ENCHARGE formula?
Yes. Like all RIVALUS products, ENCHARGE was formulated based on the latest scientific research. All RIVALUS products must be certified as SAEF® (Safe And Effective First) before they can be sold. SAEF is a university laboratory-based program that involves testing each product on athletes in order to confirm that it consistently maintains normal physiological function (safe) while improving body composition and performance (effective).
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study 20 male athletes using ENCHARGE for 6 weeks and exercising regularly increased lean muscle size by up to 20% and 1-rep max bench press strength by up to 30% compared to changes of only 5% and 15% respectively for placebo group subjects.
8. Will I maintain the muscle and strength gains I made once I go off ENCHARGE?
Yes. When going off ENCHARGE, you will still maintain the muscle and strength gains you achieved while you were on it as long as you continue to exercise and follow a healthy diet.
9. Do you have to use ENCHARGE everyday?
For maximum gains in muscle size and strength, ENCHARGE is designed to be taken everyday for at least 8 weeks.
10. Should I cycle off ENCHARGE?
You can take ENCHARGE as long as you like and continuously as well. However, Dr. Burke recommends that after 8 weeks of continuous use a two week period off CYCLE will result in even bigger gains once you start taking ENCHARGE again. The reason Dr. Burke suggests a brief off CYCLE period is for your receptors to up-regulate as a result of the reduced daily creatine exposure. When ENCHARGE is re-introduced back into your supplement routine, you will experience even greater creatine uptake into your muscles and in turn bigger gains in strength and size. The CYCLING on and off ENCHARGE is actually better with each subsequent CYCLE as the total creatine pool inside your muscles will continue to increase with each subsequent CYCLE on. This will promote rapid gains in size and strength and fast recovery.
