Erin Cafaro

”I SEARCHED THROUGHOUT ALL THE YEARS OF MY TRAINING TO FIND AN EFFECTIVE FUELING AND RECOVERY SUPPLEMENT THAT WOULD FIT INTO MY CLEAN DIET AND STRICT USADA TESTING, BUT ALSO DIDN’T TASTE TERRIBLE. FINALLY I FOUND 3FU3L DURING THE LEAD UP TO THE 2012 OLYMPICS AND USED IT RELIGIOUSLY DURING COMPETITION. I ONLY WISH I HAD FOUND IT SOONER!”
