UP-LIFT™ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is UP-LIFT?
UP-LIFT is a stimulant-free powdered drink mix that is intended to be mixed with water
and consumed before and during training in order to sustain higher levels of mental and
muscular output (performance) during resistance and cardiovascular forms of exercise.
2. Can anyone use UP-LIFT?
UP-LIFT is intended for use by healthy, exercising individuals over 18 years of age.
Bodybuilders, figure and fitness athletes, mixed martial artists, powerlifters and other
athletes who regularly engage in high-intensity resistance and/or cardiovascular exercise
of any kind can benefit from consuming UP-LIFT immediately before and during their
workouts.
3. What makes UP-LIFT different from “pre-training” formulas?
a. UP-LIFT is the world’s first hybrid training formula. The term “hybrid” refers to two
features:
i. The UP-LIFT formula was designed for consumption immediately before
and during training for greater mental and muscular output. “Pre-training”
formulas are consumed only before training.
ii. The UP-LIFT formula was designed to satisfy the needs of both
resistance and cardiovascular forms of exercise. Each form of exercise
creates different metabolic and nutritional demands.
b. UP-LIFT is stimulant-free and creatine-free. Most pre-training formulas contain
both.
i. Creatine-free: This means that UP-LIFT will not produce water retention.
Quite the contrary, with ingredients like arginine-AKG and citrulline (which
increases arginine levels), UP-LIFT reduces water retention and thereby
produces harder and sharper looking muscles. Studies performed in the
1990s indicate that arginine supplementation “flushes” out excess sodium
and water when combined with a high-protein diet.
ii. Stimulant-free: Being entirely free of stimulants (i.e. no caffeine or other
stimulants), UP-LIFT produces sustainable energy and mood without the
“collapse”. The term “collapse” refers to the substantial depression of
mood and energy levels that occurs several hours following the use of
stimulant-containing formulas.
c. Beverly lists the actual amount of every ingredient found in the UP-LIFT formula
on the product label. The majority of pre-training formulas and many other
products hide this information behind “proprietary blends” for which the amount of
each ingredient is not disclosed. Often only one or two ingredients in these
“blends” will be present in useful quantities. The other ingredients in the blend
are added in extremely small, physiological insignificant amounts just so that they
can be listed on the label. Most supplement companies are not willing to incur the

costs involved in producing a product like UP-LIFT with the same amounts of the
same high-quality of ingredients.
4. When can I expect to see results while using UP-LIFT?
You will feel UP-LIFT working in as little as 15 minutes of consumption and throughout
your entire workout when used as directed. During your workout you can expect to see
and feel results that include but are not limited to*:
 Greater mental clarity and focus: You’ll be more in tune with your muscles as
they contract.
 Greater energy and motivation: You’ll be excited to train…and train.
 Faster and harder pumps: Pumps build muscle. (“The bigger the pumps, the
bigger the lumps.”)
 Greater strength endurance: You’ll be able to lift heavier weights for more sets
without tiring as easily.
5. If I don’t perform resistance exercise, can I still benefit from using UP-LIFT?
As stated above, unlike “pre-training” formulas and many other products, UP-LIFT is a
hybrid formula designed to improve mental and muscular output during resistance as
well as cardiovascular exercise. For instance, UP-LIFT contains gluconeogenic
(glucose-generating) amino acids such as alanine and glycine. These were specifically
chosen for their ability to support blood glucose and energy levels. Glucose is a major
source of energy for muscle tissue during exercise, particularly high-intensity exercise.
6. What are the benefits of using UP-LIFT over the long-term?
UP-LIFT contains ingredients that scientific studies suggest will support and enhance*:

Beverly UP-LIFT™ FAQ
UP-LIFT was tested only on healthy exercise individuals during its testing and
formulation stages. Discuss UP-LIFT with your medical doctor before using if you have a
medical condition or if you are currently unaware of your health status.
8. Is UP-LIFT safe if you are trying to become pregnant, or are currently pregnant or
nursing?
Discuss UP-LIFT with your medical doctor before using if you are trying to become
pregnant, or are currently pregnant or nursing.
9. Can UP-LIFT be used during preparation for a bodybuilding competition?
Yes. As indicated above, UP-LIFT contains ingredients that help flush out excess
sodium and water, thereby increasing muscle hardness and definition. Retention of
sodium and water is arguably the most difficult problem facing the bodybuilder as he or
she prepares for physique competition. Water retention can lead to a loss of muscle
definition and even produce muscle atrophy. In addition, because UP-LIFT contains
gluconeogenic acids, it supports gluconeogenesis. This process is fueled by the burning
of fat.
10. Can I combine UP-LIFT with other Beverly products?
Yes. The UP-LIFT formula was designed to be complementary to every other Beverly
product. For instance, some consumers may want to supplement their diet with creatine
or use stimulants. Because UP-LIFT is stimulant-free and creatine-free, it can be
combined with Beverly products containing these ingredients including 7-Keto
MuscLEAN and Creatine Select plus Phosphates.
11. I need to lose body fat. Should I avoid using UP-LIFT?
UP-LIFT contains ingredients that help reduce sodium and water retention as well as
body fat. (Note that retention of sodium and water can make you appear fatter than you
are, despite no change in body fat mass.) Also, by increasing your training performance,
UP-LIFT promotes increases in muscle mass and calorie expenditure. Even if your body
fat mass remains constant, by increasing your muscle mass you will appear leaner. All
things considered, if you want to lose body fat faster, then you should consider adding
UP-LIFT to your daily diet.
12. Can I prepare UP-LIFT and store it in the fridge for later?
Yes. It has been estimated that UP-LIFT will retain its full potency for up to 6 hours when
mixed with cold water and refrigerated immediately. That being said, it is advised that
you prepare a fresh serving for each training session for optimal results.
13. Where is UP-LIFT made? UP-LIFT was formulated and tested by Beverly’s research
and development scientists in California and at the Beverly head office in Cold Spring,
Kentucky. Each ingredient has been selected based on studies published in publicly-

accessible databases such as those made available by the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
