Ron Kramer Bodybuilding

Active in power lifting and bodybuilding for decades, Ron Kramer has led ThermoLife International, LLC (ThermoLife), as President and CEO since 1998. Ron Kramer's supplement products are formulated to provide a major performance boost to individuals in a wide range of bodybuilding and athletic disciplines. Popular formulations include the testosterone-increasing T-BOL, and the anabolic matrix E-BOL, which has no detected androgenic effects.

Mr. Kramer's latest research and development efforts have led to U.S. Patent No. 8,183,288 (the '288 patent) for "Amino Acid Nitrate Use to Increase Bioabsorption." This May 2012 achievement represents ThermoLife's fifth patent related to amino acid nitrates. The '288 patent serves as further evidence of ThermoLife's dedication to creating innovative, effective compounds and new methods of use. The patent describes employing nitrites or nitrates of a variety of compounds such as creatine, valine, beta alanine, and glutamine, to enhance the body's bioabsorption potential.

The interrelated patents secured by Ron Kramer's firm validate its status as a bodybuilding industry leader and protect its proven products and formulation techniques. Holding a robust patent portfolio also allows ThermoLife to expand licensing opportunities and gives consumers confidence that the products they are purchasing are exclusive and effective.

Another positive step for the bodybuilding community was achieved in June 2012, when ThermoLife received Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status for its patented creatine nitrate. Ron Kramer's company brought together a panel of internationally recognized experts to undertake critical safety review and analysis of the patented ingredient. After comprehensive review, the ingredient was defined as meeting all regulatory requirements for dietary supplement use as a GRAS product.
