"My training is extraordinarily intense so that I am always at the top of my game and ready to step into the cage with anyone. I eat right, I train right, and I supplement right; with MOXXOR. It allows me to recover faster so that I can increase the frequency of my workouts, it helps me fight pain and inflammation from fights, naturally and powerfully, and it helps prevent injuries by increasing my range of motion and flexibility…that’s all really important to me, and should be for anyone fighting, training, or just exercising."
Jennifer Snyder
Jennifer Snyder is a professional beach volleyball player and started taking MOXXOR in February '09.
"I train excessively and need to recover as quickly as possible to maintain my advantage over the other players. I found that taking MOXXOR has helped me with soreness after double days and strenuous workouts so I can make the most out of all my training sessions. Also, I had a knee reconstruction surgery when I was 15 (due to sports) and have had pain in that knee for as long as I can remember. Stairs typically were the most painful.
After starting MOXXOR, within the first 3 weeks, my everyday pain almost completely went away. I am more mentally alert and have more energy than before. I am grateful for this product and what it helps me to accomplish in my life. "
Snyder was first-team all-Big West in both 1996 and 1997. Her Long Beach State team made it to the Final Four in 1997. She graduated with a degree in Communications. Following graduation Snyder played professionally in Switzerland for one season.
