CROSSFIT TRAINER SONNY MCCLAMROCK SAYS NO IS THE OH!MINO BOOST JUST A PLACEBO EFFECT?
surgery. It took more than a year for him to return to the gym — and that’s when he discovered Oh!mino. Our product’s scientific basis and clean ingredients impressed Sonny, so he decided to give it a try. To boost his recovery, Michael suggested he take five Oh!mino capsules before each workout and five after. “About 30 minutes into a very difficult, competitive CrossFit WOD, I felt just more drive to go harder and faster. It wasn’t like this burst of energy came over me; I just remember halfway through thinking, ‘I can lift a little heavier and do a little bit more,’” Sonny says. At first, Sonny thought this was a placebo effect — then he repeated it over and over with different types of workouts. His results three months in speak for themselves.
Every once in a while, you meet someone who’s not only impressive but also inspiring. Sonny McClamrock is one of those people. As a kid, Sonny wasn’t allowed to play sports because he had a weak heart. The Marines turned him away, so he joined the police force instead. Then, a traumatic event on the job changed the course of his life. “I was chasing after a suspect and they found me rendered unconscious. They ended up resuscitating me and bringing me to the hospital, and that's actually what started my fitness journey. At the time, I was obese and had a sedentary job as a detective. So, I walked into a CrossFit gym and said, ‘I just died last week. I need some help.’” CrossFit was a revelation to Sonny, and thanks to the training, his heart murmur disappeared. He ended up creating a bootcamp for his fellow officers, then left the force to start his own program, T3 Cross Training. Things were going well until an injury last summer forced Sonny to have total knee reconstruction
confident that Oh!mino gave me that edge,” Sonny says.
Sonny started selling Oh!mino at his gym, the Missouri City, Texas, location of Snap Fitness USA. When he tells his clients about the product, this is his message: “It doesn’t matter what fitness level you’re at or what your fitness background is, a product like this that is safe and effective is going to help anybody on any fitness journey.”
“I dropped 8% body fat and had my first six-pack as a 40-year-old. I’m extremely
DOES VITAMIN D HELP OUR BONES AND OUR MUSCLES?
A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN BENEFIT OF VITAMIN D
As the weather cools and the days get shorter, we can’t rely as much on the sun for our daily dose of vitamin D. The primary function of vitamin D is regulating the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body. These nutrients are necessary for strengthening our bones and teeth, which becomes increasingly important as we age and our bones naturally become more brittle. While these benefits of vitamin D are well documented, did you know that getting your daily dose of vitamin D can also contribute to healthier muscles? A few years ago, researchers published a study that seemed to show that vitamin D could potentially help people gain muscle mass. While the research team said their results weren’t conclusive, their findings were certainly interesting. Vitamin D enters the body in an inactive form. It doesn’t become active until it comes in contact with the right enzymes in either the liver or the kidneys. To learn more about what factors affect this vitamin’s rate of absorption and activation in the body, researchers observed the levels of inactive vitamin D in 116 women ages 20–74. What they found was that women with higher muscle mass had lower levels of inactive vitamin D, while women with lower muscle mass had higher levels of inactive vitamin D.
The conclusion researchers drew was that active vitamin D might help optimize muscle strength. While that conclusion is not ironclad, vitamin D’s other well-known benefits still make it worth getting your daily dose. It can aid weight loss, enhance mood, support cardiovascular health, boost the immune system, and strengthen bones, among many other benefits. So, its potential muscle-boosting properties are just another reason to get more vitamin D. To get more of this important vitamin in your diet, try adding salmon, mushrooms, and even canned tuna to your menu. Also, as winter approaches, it might be time to start taking a vitamin D supplement. Whether you’re 20 or 74 years old, it’s never too late to find ways to strengthen your muscles.
