I still use the mineral whey occasionally, since overuse of antioxidants can stunt exercise response, but primarily use solar synergy. It's made by Mt. Capra as well, and was designed primarily for athletes. The Solar Synergy has the mineral whey in it, plus a bunch more antioxidants.

Capra's R&D team here. Ben is right, the Solar Synergy formulation he tested was slightly different than the current formula available now. However it isn't a measure of potency, Ben was just using a bigger scoop and therefore only needed to fill his scoop half way. The scoops that ship with the final product are smaller and thus the 2 scoop recommendation. Hope that clears up any confusion. Hi Craig,

You can phone Mt. Capra directly and order from them. 1-800-574-1961 is their international orders number. The shipping is a little pricey, but since this product isn't distributed in Canada this is our only option for now. Ben, hope it's cool passing on this information. Hi Becky, great news.

I love your podscast. I was wondering if you have any advice on dealing with Restless Legs. I have read many things relating to the topic but nothing seems concrete. I have been dealing with this for the last six years or so. I never know when it is going to happen. I started taking a multi-mineral supplement in the evening which I was told could help. I feel like it is hit or miss. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work with the show and website!!! Hey Ben. I love your podscast.

Thanks for letting me try some of this at the Pacific Elite Fitness Austin Triathlon camp. Doctorschoicenaturally.com doesn't ship to Canada unfortunately. Is there a way you can find out from Mt. Capra if there is a distributor in Canada, or a way to order this directly from them? This stuff would sell like crazy up here! Hey Ben, great article.
