SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Changing Times Vitamins, Inc. (Other OTC:SGTB) announced the signing of MMA fighter and ex Wrestling star Bobby Lashley, to represent its growing line of sports nutritional products. Lashley’s accomplishments include 2 times Armed Forces Wrestling Champion, CISM World Silver Medalist, Missouri Valley College National Championship (1996-2008), NAIA National Wrestling Championship (1997, 1998), Pro Wrestling Rookie of the Year, two times ECW World Champion, and WWE US Champion.

The agreement also calls for the company to develop a line of sports supplements with the Bobby Lashley name on it which would be distributed through health food stores and health clubs.

Lashley, who has been using RecoveryX, stated, “Since I’ve started drinking RecoveryX , I’ve had much more energy during my workouts, training sessions and sparring sessions. As a professional athlete, your body gets worn out quickly. RecoveryX has helped to take away the soreness and muscle aches that traditionally accompanies this type of physical activity. Because of the quick recovery time, I am able to train harder, go faster and work out longer than I ever have before. I am excited to be working with RecoveryX and I believe that all athletes should use this product to achieve peak performance.”
