THIOS is also being used by an olympic level athlete which makes for one of the many great opportunities for THIOS to establish itself as a high-quality and highly effective supplement company. Hadley Hodges is the owner of THIOS and a life-long high performance athlete. His first company, Hadley Hodges Carpentry, is a successful carpentry, remodeling and new construction business. This business gave Hodges the knowledge and skills required to begin a new business venture with a product that he has developed and used personally over the past 10+ years. Hodges has numerous influential and veteran professional and personal connections in the sports performance world, who support, use and continually ask for the supplement, but takes pride in creating and selling supplements that he would use himself. THIOS is simple, safe and effective. Formulated from four adaptogenic herbs that work synergistically to promote increased muscle mass, decrease fat, improved cognitive function, and increased endurance. Adaptogens are plants that increase the body’s ability to adapt to and endure life’s stressors. Physical exercise is a major stressor and increases in strength and endurance are created by the body being able to properly adapt and recover, rebuilding with stronger tissues as well as a host of other adaptations on the physiological level. THIOS helps to ensure that even though a high level of performance is being asked from the body, the body will be able to not only endure, but thrive and grow stronger and healthier. A customer who is committed and consistent with THIOS will have the best results. We recommend taking 4-6 capsules daily for 2-3 months while engaging in physical exercise.
