Frequently Asked Questions
- How long has High Performance Fitness been in business?
-
High Performance Fitness was incorporated in 1997 and started marketing its 1st STEP Liquid Multivitamin & Mineral Supplement to the athletic departments of major universities in 1998.

Matt Heringer, owner of Functional Fitness in Santa Cruz, Ca. states:
Typical prescription to my athletes is as follows: One shot first thing in the morning, another shot after a hard workout. This is to help with recovery and replenishment of lost minerals and vitamins. You must replace all of these vitamins in order to start the rebuilding process (replenishment of glycogen stores and protein synthesis).
- Should I consult my doctor and get his opinion before I begin taking this vitamin?
-
It is always wise to consult your physician before you take any supplemental nutritional product because he/she is aware of your individual needs and circumstances.
- Can children take 1st STEP?
-
Yes, they can, but once again it is always wise to consult your pediatrician first. He/she can help you determine the proper dosage for your child based upon age and weight.
- Why should I take a liquid multivitamin over my capsule or tablet vitamin?
-
Studies have shown that the body absorbs only 10% to 20% of the nutrients available in capsulated form, which means of every $100 spent on capsules or tablets, approximately $80 is wasted!
Nearly 100% of the nutrients from 1st STEP Liquid is retained, and the vitamins and minerals are absorbed almost immediately.
- Can I get my daily allowances of vitamins and minerals from just eating food?
-
Yes, you can receive the recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat. Unfortunately, however, with today's busy lifestyles many Americans simply do not have the time, desire, or "know-how" to consistently plan well-balanced menus to ensure that the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals are received each day.
In addition, some individuals do not want to consume the quantity of food that would be necessary to receive the proper amounts of these nutrients. A multivitamin is a safe, simple, and effective way to ensure that your body consistently receives the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals.
Why gamble with your or your family's health? Although it is always important to eat a variety of healthy, wholesome foods from each of the basic food groups, a multi-vitamin is a safeguard that will ensure your body is receiving the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals which are necessary for achieving optimal health and maximizing daily performance, thus improving the quality, productivity, and longevity of life!
