http://www.surgexsports.com) has been tested and certified into the Banned Substance Control Group's (BSCG) certification program. This is the only certification program in the US that uses a World Anti Doping Agency accredited laboratory to detect for dangerous banned substances in nutritional supplements. Each batch of Millennium's line of Surgex(TM) products are now tested and certified not to contain substances such as hormones, steroids, stimulants, diuretics, etc that are banned for Professional, Collegiate and Olympic sports. The BSCG certification in addition to the Surgex'(TM) clinical trials should provide the product a competitive advantage upon commercialization into the billion dollar sports nutritional supplement marketplace.
"The athlete can now be assured that our Surgex(TM) line of products can be safely consumed as each batch is tested for a list of substances that are banned by organizations such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Football League (NFL), and many other professional and amateur sports leagues." states Carl Germano, RD, CNS, CDN, clinical nutritionist and VP of Research & product Development for Millennium Biotechnologies.
With over 5 years in the medical market as a nutritional adjunct to medical care for immuno-compromised conditions and several successful studies including 2 double blind, placebo controlled trials in Division 1 athletes, the Surgex(TM) line of products is breaking new ground for credibility and professionalism in the sports nutrition sector.
The final set of results from Millennium's sponsored Division 1 Football trial at Rutgers University have shown that Surgex(TM) had a significant effect on recovery markers including testosterone:cortisol ratios compared to a market leading sports beverage on the market. "Along with our previous statistically significant improvements in body composition and strength parameters, the recovery marker data continues to validate Surgex(TM) as an important nutritional adjunct for the athlete" states Mr. Germano. "As we have seen in the medical market, Surgex is now able to offer the athlete a product that will assist in recovery in efforts to improve performance. In addition, our participation in the BSCG program continues to set us apart from the competition."
The continued usage and acceptability of Surgex(TM) by Professional, Olympic, and Collegiate athletes is providing the valuable market information which will allow Millennium to develop the best strategy to commercialize Surgex(TM), expected in Q3 of 2008.
