Research Study Hub
We are privileged to have a world-class human performance institute in Tampa, FL that is dedicated to advancing health, quality of life and the science of nutrition and targeted supplementation. The founders travel the world presenting their ground breaking research and today may be the day YOU become part of those results.
I have the honor or being part of their research team from a recruitment and study management standpoint as their professional practices align with my goals for health and wellness.

GAIN MUSCLE:
12 WEEK STUDY OF A KEY SUPPLEMENT & TRAINING REGIMEN FOR STRENGTH & MUSCLE GAINS
WHAT: CARNITINE & CREATINE SUPPLEMENT STUDY
Duration: 12-weeks of strength training (24 sessions total)
Location: 9051 Florida Mining Blvd, Tampa, FL 33634
Participant Stats:
-
MEN
-
Ages 18-40
-
"Recreationally active"*
-
Healthy enough for strenuous physical activity
-
Free from muscle diseases and other diseases, such as diabetes
-
Able to attend 2 on-site workouts per week (there will be several scheduling options)
​
* "recreationally active" means: You have NOT done weight/strength training 3x/week consistently for more than one year but you are not a total novice either.
​
Goal:
Scientifically evaluate the potential benefits for body mass index improvement, strength gains and ultrasound measures when a more absorbable form of Carnipure® L-carnitine crystalline with creatine monohydrate are supplemented as directed and combined with 2 weekly on-site structured workouts with world-class trainers in Tampa, FL.
​
Participants will be under the expert tutelage of some of the worlds leading researchers in human performance at a facility that has published over 500 studies and filed 100 patents for a wide variety of human performance and health products.
​
PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE:
-
12 week supplement supply ($100 value)
-
24 strength training sessions (strength program created by Charlie Ottinger, PhD in Human Performance with a Masters in Kinesiology) ($2,400 value)
-
Before & After DXA Scan (accurate measure of lean vs fat mass & bone density) & Comprehensive health assessments ($2450 value)
-
$125 upon completion of the 12 weeks to help offset gas costs from attending twice weekly strength training.
-
Optional referral Bonus: $50 for every qualified participant you refer who passes enrollment and completes the study.
STUDY SUMMARY - INFO TO KNOW:
-
This research study is studying the effects of Carnipure® L-carnitine crystalline with creatine monohydrate on body composition, muscle thickness, and strength adaptations. Participation in this study will last approximately 15 weeks and will require you to visit the study site twice per week during the 12-week training program. You will be randomly assigned by chance (like the flip of a coin) to receive either moderate dose Carnipure® L-carnitine and creatine monohydrate, low dose Carnipure® L-carnitine and creatine monohydrate, or a traditional dose of creatine monohydrate (control).
-
-
Subjects participating in this study will help us describe the effects of unique sport supplement formulations. Moreover, subjects will join a professionally designed training program and receive numerous health and fitness assessments at no cost.
-
Participation in this study requires attendance to 24 training sessions over the period of 12 weeks. Performance measurements will also be assessed during a single visit to the research site during the week before initiation of the study, at the mid-point of the study, and the week following cessation of the study. Potential volunteers with scheduling difficulties or those who are not interested in exercise training may decline this invitation to participation.
-
The Applied Science and Performance Institute (ASPI) is trying to determine the effectiveness of the combination of moderate dose or low dose Carnipure® L-carnitine and creatine monohydrate compared to a traditional dose of creatine monohydrate. The effectiveness will be measured by changes in body composition, lean muscle, and muscle strength following the 12-week training program.
-
This study will require you to take part in a resistance training program for 12 weeks. All resistance training sessions will be led by certified professionals, but there is a small risk associated with participation in resistance training. The resistance training program will involve exercises for all of the major muscle groups, thus, if you have a recent injury, you may wish to decline participation. Furthermore, you will be required to test your bench press one repetition maximum and your isometric mid-thigh pull strength on three separate occasions. These assessments involve a strenuous effort.
-
In this study, we will collect your age, training experience, body composition, pectoral muscle thickness, muscular strength, and muscle power measurements. All information will be confidential and only accessible to members of the research team.
