ARX was developed by Stephen Morrissey, OMD. A born athlete, Dr. Morrissey spent his childhood and teens excelling at competitive swimming, skiing, and gymnastics. A hardcore athlete to this day, Dr. Morrissey combines his passion for competitive athletics with his extensive knowledge and background in physiology, nutritional science, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to help professional and amateur athletes.

He’s run several successful clinics and practices and currently researches and develops natural formulas and therapies for athletes to replenish, nourish, and fuel their bodies to meet the demands of top athletic performance.

Recognizing the widespread need for a safe, legal, and natural method of increasing endurance and reducing recovery time, Dr. Morrissey began working with professional athletes in the 1980s.

This was the beginning of the research that eventually led to the development of ARX. It took years of collecting data, testing, and screening. Knowing lactate plays a key role in the physiological impact of exercise, Dr. Morrissey screened over four hundred herbs to determine which got lactate from the muscles into the bloodstream the fastest. But these herbs had to meet additional criteria as well. They also had to positively affect the body’s key energy meridians—to “remove all the blocks” so the lactate could fuel the muscles more efficiently.

What Dr. Morrissey discovered was a unique, synergistic relationship between specific nutrient extracts. Only this exact combination, in these precise ratios, yielded the results he was looking for—lactate clearance and recycling for greatly enhanced endurance and a staggering reduction in muscle recovery time.

It is this perfect, synergistic, exact combination that became ARX—the nutritional supplement to help you run, swim, or bike faster, stronger, and harder than ever. As Dr. Morrissey himself puts it, “Instead of giving your engine more gas—like carbs, caffeine, and sugar—ARX is like taking your foot off the brake, or pulling out all the stops, and lubricating all your parts for far greater performance and more efficient recovery.”
