          This summer i will be working at vitamin shoppe. Besides getting paid $8 an hour which is decent i will also be gettin discounts i believe 35-50%? I would like to start taking a liquid multi but i can find any of the ones we mentioned on the vitamin shoppe website. So what i am asking is can anyone take a look on the website and pick out certain liquid vitamins that would be compareable to the ones we mentioned, and also i am looking for someting like “vitalize” or “Powerdrive” but i not sure where to look on the website since they dont carry that product either. Also id like to stock up on nutrition bars. Which ones should i be looking for? On the website they catagorize there bars as
          -30-40-30 bars
          -high protein bars
          -meal replacement bars

          Whats Powerdrive?

          from the powerdrive website…..

          Supercharge the mind-muscle connection and get more out of your workouts. Biotest product testing indicates that 45 minutes after using Power Drive, as recommended, strength levels can increase by as much as 8-12%. Individual results may vary widely.

          Up until now, bodybuilding science has spent all of its time trying to conquer the body while ignoring the brain. The trouble is, everything is controlled by the brain, and we’re not just talking about memory or creativity or feelings of well being, either. The brain controls how well your muscles work. Ever wonder how some relatively weak-looking guys can rip apart phone books or bend steel rods in half? A lot of it has to do with muscle motor unit recruitment.

          Muscles are made up of individual motor units and some people are gifted in that they’re able to recruit more of these motor units when it comes to performing an act of strength.

          Power Drive is designed to help you recruit more of these motor units so that you experience an almost immediate gain in strength and endurance. And, over the long run, this enhanced ability to recruit motor units results in bigger muscles. It stands to reason that, under normal circumstances, the average weight trainer doesn’t even begin to work a good percentage of his or her muscle fibers. In effect, these fibers “sit by” during an average workout and receive very little direct stimulation. Without stimulation or recruitment, they won’t respond by growing!

          The Power Drive formula is also designed to improve fat mobilization, along with concentration, memory, coordination, and endurance. It may, in some individuals, also increase pain threshold and overall sense of well-being.

          Lastly, Power Drive may prevent age-related decreases in testosterone levels. As you age, levels of a neurotransmitter called dopamine decrease, and this causes an increase in a hormone called prolactin. Unfortunately, increases in prolactin are accompanied by a decrease in testosterone. Power Drive may elevate dopamine levels, thus preventing the catabolic
