I have been using ReddRox since the spring of 2001 (approximately 6 years). I met a guy named Conrad Stolz from Cape Town, South Africa. At that time, I was a professional tri-athlete and racing the same circuit as 2-time Olympian Stolz. I lived and trained with Conrad for a few weeks of training that spring down in San Diego. Since Conrad had won the last big race, I was interested to see what he was drinking. It was the South African legume red bush, which he was infusing and then pouring into his water bottles on his bike. I was intrigued. I inquired what he liked about it. He replied that it was full of antioxidants and had a great flavor that he loved. Well, from that point on I always had red bush in my water bottles on training rides and would down it after my workouts also. I noticed immediately that my performance level went way up in direct correlation to my hydration with red bush.
At that early stage, I did not fully appreciate what I had stumbled upon. I kept on using what at the time I believed to be a tea. I knew it had no caffeine and I loved the flavor. Because of the bright red color and the tasty flavor I ended up drinking more fluids and getting more free radical-fighting antioxidants.
Now move forward to winter 2003 when I met Lisa Marie. She started talking about the positive effects of the red bush plant and was expounding on what I somewhat already knew. But what Lisa said went straight to the point about hydration. I knew it was giving me new energy and I knew about the free radical scavenging effects of antioxidants, flavonoids and polyphenols, but I had not attributed the most rejuvenating miracle of this hydrating fluid to the simple concept of hydration. Not just a mist of superficial, fleeting hydration, but as Lisa described it, as an all- engulfing, deep-down, cellular hydration.
I was hooked. I traded cards with Lisa and was on my way to the X-Games qualifier in Lake Tahoe. Little did I know that the turn of events that was about to unfold there would have me relying heavily on my newfound supply of ReddRox. I broke my leg on a ski jump in Lake Tahoe. After my surgery and during the subsequent rehab and training along the long road to recovery, I used Reddrox as my daily primary hydration beverage. I was amazed at the speed of healing. Had I stumbled upon some unknown miracle elixir? It seemed the added minerals and maybe even the unknown constituents in the South African red bush legume (perhaps the same constituent that gives ReddRox its brilliant red color) was causing me to heal quicker and recover faster.
Ever since then, I have been using ReddRox as my daily primary hydration beverage. As a direct result, I have felt more energized, have had fewer illnesses and am recovering a lot faster from my training and exercise programs.

A little over a year ago, I was introduced to Lisa Marie through some of my players. What they told me was that this woman had created a hydration product that could just be added to water and that put all of the natural plant minerals that are being stripped away from our current water supplies back in. Another thing that immediately got my attention was when I was told that it didn't contain any sugar, caffeine or calories. I found this intriguing, to say the least, and after I finally met her she left me with a very good supply in which she requested I use on myself first for a while before introducing it to any of my players. All I know is that I found myself drinking it every day and loving it. Throughout the NFL season I would get my players on it and gave them guidelines on how to use it. I told them to keep drinking it and that in as little as 24 hours that they would feel more hydrated.
What is so important for most professional athletes is staying hydrated and avoiding muscle cramps. So many beverages that our players were using had either caffeine, which dehydrates the body, or excessive sugar, which adds unwanted weight and spikes your insulin level too much. The fact that ReddRox is such a great way to stay hydrated and that it has no calories is what is very attractive for many players that have to stay on a specific weight program.
Last year I started a pretty good number of players and knew that almost the entire Boise State Football team was utilizing ReddRox. When the body is hydrated properly, your players have less injury, cramping, the players have a more consistent energy and a faster overall recovery.

Being in the major leagues for 7 years and playing sports all my life, I've always known that diet, exercise and hydration are the keys to peak performance. What I have found over the years is that once your body is in peak physical condition the most important factor in being able to play the 9th inning like it was your first is hydration. Astonishingly enough, in our locker room when I was playing pro ball, all we had for beverage choices were beer, milk, sports drinks and water.
Over the last few years I've really learnt a lot about the chemical sugars and artificial dyes that all our most famous sports drinks are using as their main ingredients. Specifically, about the dangers that these and other highly sweetened beverages are posing to us and our children. As a father raising 3 boys and being heavily involved in their sports and also coaching and training many young athletes, this has been extremely eye-opening.
From my experience, ReddRox is the perfect solution for hydration. I cannot speak any blunter than that. The fact that it has a healthy balance of minerals and electrolytes that water doesn't provide and that it has no sugar or caffeine makes ReddRox my first choice for hydration.

As a retired NFL player with years of playing professional ball, I know what it means to watch very carefully what you put in your body. What a pleasure and how refreshing to be around a company with such passion and vision. It was a few years back at Jr. Seau's golf tournament that ReddRox came into my life. I knew immediately, with the integrity of the founder and her passion that there was no way this company was not going to be successful and complete their mission. ReddRox is exactly what is missing out there to fully hydrate the body without harm. From the start ReddRox just made sense. High performance athletes look for and even demand no sugar, no caffeine and no calories for their hydration needs. While in the NFL, sports drinks were given to me. The first time I drank one of the leading sports drinks, I got very ill. I gave it one more chance after that, and it still affected me the same way. To this day I still don't drink those sports drinks.
