EDEN PRAIRIE, MN (February 7, 2006) – MHP (Maximum Human Performance) recently introduced Anadrox™, a potent combination muscle growth/fat burning product which contains 7-Keto®, a branded ingredient from Humanetics Corporation of Minnesota.

Anadrox contains the potent, fat-burning matrix, Thermo-Z7™, an exclusive patent-protected compound that contains 7-Keto.  “We were looking for a premium, fat-burning ingredient that was well-researched and supported by solid science and that search lead us to 7-Keto,” says Steve Marada, Chief Operating Officer, Maximum Human Performance.  7-Keto (3-acetyl-7-oxo dehydroepiandrosterone) is a non-stimulant, thermogenic agent that is clinically proven to increase metabolism and promote healthy weight loss.  7-Keto has been proven to enhance the activity of three thermogenic enzymes – Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Malic Enzyme & Fatty Acyl CoA Oxidase – and subsequently, promote the utilization of fat stores – namely, to burn fat. In addition, two independently conducted clinical trials support the effectiveness of 7-Keto for weight loss. Both trials were double-blinded and placebo-controlled, and have been published in peer-reviewed journals.  7-Keto was shown to promote 3 times more weight and fat loss then diet and exercise alone.

“MHP is a strong partner for us and it’s exciting to work with a progressive company that can take 7-Keto in new directions,” says Scott Steil, VP of Sales & Marketing, Humanetics Corporation.  “Partnering with companies like MHP, that use solid science to drive their product development process, ultimately provides consumers with a safe, efficacious product that will help them achieve their goals.  In addition to giving 7-Keto solid footing in the sports nutrition industry, this gives Humanetics an excellent opportunity to showcase the fat-burning properties of 7-Keto in a breakthrough formula like Anadrox.
