The products in the FitLine optimized nutrition line are
the core competency of PM-International AG, our innovative company which has shown considerable growth
since its foundation in 1993.
“Nutrition is not everything, but without optimal nutrition, everything is nothing!” What we eat and drink
every day - good or bad – has a decisive influence on
not just our health but also on our performance levels,
our appearance, our thinking, our feelings, our life
span: in brief, on our well-being and our quality of life.
With high-quality optimized nutrition, we can optimize
our daily diets.
These facts were the basis for developing the FitLine
products. Our goal was to develop effective and safe
products. Our Vision and Motivation was and
remains to help many people worldwide to more fitness, well-being, performance levels, zest and
quality of life and also to financial independence.
PM-International reacts quickly to the results of nutritional science, as products are constantly tested, further
developed with the help of international top scientists, so ensuring that we keep our finger on the “pulse”
of the market.
Numerous top athletes and top German teams use the
FitLine nutritional optimization line and PMInternational is the official supplier of numerous
sports associations, e.g. of the DEB (German Ice
Hockey Association), the BDR (German Cycling
Association), the DTB (German Tennis Association)
and the DNV (German Nordic Walking
Association) as well as of numerous national teams in
Germany and abroad.
But you do not need to be a professional athlete to feel
the “effect”. Give yourself a chance, take on responsibility for your fitness, use our basic program on a daily
basis and then decide for yourself. We are so convinced of our product’s effectiveness that you can
return products to the company PM-International
within 30 days if you are not satisfied with their
effect for whatever reasons. You then have a choice
between replacement or free exchange, a voucher to
purchase other products or the return of the full purchase
price.
"Through the unique Nutrient Transport Concept, the
FitLine products bring the nutrients exactly to the
place in our bodies where they take effect, to our
cells, and that significantly more quickly and with up
to 10 times higher bioavailabilty and therefore
results. The philosophy behind it is:
when our cells are fit and full of energy, we are fit

From 2002–2006, five times in succession, PM-International was one of just two companies in its industry to be
chosen by an independent body of scientists and renowned economic experts chaired by Prof. Dr. h.c. Lothar
Späth and Prof. Dr. H.-J. Warnecke (President of the Fraunhofer Association) as one of the 100 most innovative
companies among all medium-sized German companies. With the related award, “Member of TOP 100,” the
great pleasure in innovation and the self-imposed obligation to quality which allows no compromise is impressively honored.

The “deficiency vitamins” among athletes are in particular the antioxidative “Protective Vitamins” (Vitamin
C, Vitamin E, Provitamin A) and also the “Energy and

levels in the area of sport and fitness are also caused
by an increased loss in electrolytes and, especially by
increased loss of fluids.

What criteria are essential for high-quality
nutritional optimization for athletes?
A high-quality nutritional optimization ought to be able,
on the one hand, to close gaps in the basic diet individually and in a targeted way and, on the other
hand, high-quality nutritional optimization must most of
all be effective.
To close gaps which are of a different size for each
athlete in the basic diet in a targeted way, a high-quality nutritional optimization must be made up of different
modules (products). These modules should contain cer-
letes. Using the versatile “product modules” from the

the basis for life.
In short, oxygen is one of the most important elements
for blood circulation and it boosts the metabolism of
each body cell. Our heart, lungs, brain, intestines, skin
and every muscle and fiber require oxygen to fulfill
their tasks in the best possible way and to keep us
healthy, able and fit.
Nutrients like carbohydrates and fats are transported
with oxygen into the mitochondria, the power stations
of our body, and are converted to energy there. In principle, this is comparable to a fireplace, in which wood
is burned in order to produce heat. If there is not
enough oxygen for the burning, residue will collect on
the walls of the fireplace – it does not work as well as
it could, produces less energy, and gets sooty. And like
a fire, our body also needs enough oxygen to optimally generate energy. Depending on the constitution, an
inadequate supply of oxygen can have a variety of
consequences in the long-term.
Mitochondria are the “thermal power stations“ producing energy for muscles and body cells. They
“burn“ oxygen and thus release energy.

“I have been using the FitLine products since September 2004 and I am very pleased with them. In my sport, the
demands on endurance, concentration and strength are very high. FitLine Activize Oxyplus helps me to concentrate
optimally at the shooting stand. I can also recover better with Restorate and I have the feeling that my legs aren’t

“The peculiarity of biathlon is the high endurance performance coupled with phases of extreme concentration during shooting, during which the pulse must be lowered a lot in a very short time. The FitLine products help me a lot
in this. Especially Fitness-Drink is the best I know – especially in comparison to other products. Since I have been

“My name is Andreas Wilhelm, I am 39 years old and a trained PE teacher. Since
2001, I have had to do with nordic walking full time. I am head of training at the
DNV (German Nordic Walking Association) and responsible for the quality of the
technique and the further development of methods. After I and many trainers and
instructors with the DNV were able to convince ourselves about the quality and
effectiveness of the FitLine products over a 2 year period, we are pleased with this
partnership. With it we, the World’s biggest nordic walking association, are again
setting signs in the direction of quality in the areas of exercise and nutrition. This
partnership makes it possible for many nordic walking instructors to dare to take
the step into self-employment with excercise and nutrition.
Since the summer 2004, I have regenerated better after sports, sleep better and
deeper, am better able to perform and feel like I am becoming ever fitter.“

“The FitLine products are the ideal complement to a diet which is often meagre on long tours. Specifically, Activize
Oxyplus is also an important part of my daily intake on high mountains, as the oxygen freed and the stimulation of
circulation in the capillaries mean headaches can be avoided. Activize is the alternative to the acetylsalicylic acid
mountaineers usually use. My favorite product Restorate is of huge importance for regeneration. On high mountains, the body is always over-acidic and with Restorate and Restorate Additive, it is possible to specifically counter
that, bring it back into the alkaline area. Recognizable symptoms such as storage of water in tissues have clearly
reduced.“

“As the physician of the German National Ice Hockey Team I keep tabs on the
nourishment of the athletes along with their medical care. In the last few years,
ice hockey has become faster, harder, technically more demanding and more
spectacular. To meet these requirements, the composition of the nutrition increasingly relies on ergogenic substances in order to maintain the performance level
and to accelerate the ability to regenerate. The use of the FitLine products has
proven its worth in these areas. The body gets all the nutrients that are highly
important to stay healthy. Furthermore in FitLine we have a partner who guarantees not only the quality of the products but also that they are free of any doping
agents.”

“I usually go straight from school to training and do my homework once I get home in the evening. I do still manage to find a bit of time for my friends. I use the FitLine Fitness-Drink for mobility, which is very important in ice
skating. Every day, I eat a Protein-Ultra bar (tastes really great), which has had real benefits for my muscles. My
body has to cope with many shocks on landing after double jumps. As ice skating is my passion, the pressure of
time is no bother for me and taking the FitLine products is a sure support for my perseverance.”

“I tried the FitLine products for the first time at the summer training camp in Flims. I immediately felt the effect they
have on me: I could breathe more easily at once and was fitter than ever right down to the last minute of training.
Since then, I have been taking FitLine regularly. I feel much more concentrated and considerably more resistant.
FitLine helps me to train intensely even after a strenuous school day and to give my all mentally and physically. My body
now recuperates more quickly and is again quickly ready to perform and compete, as jumps on ice cost a lot of power
for speed and jumps. I feel fresh in the morning and rested and full of energy.”

“ I have studied sports injuries since university and tried virtually all nutritional
supplements during my active phase and during the time after that. No product
has been so able to convince me like the FitLine products. Especially
Activize Oxyplus and Restorate with iron. The improvement in performance could
be immediately proven for the athletes themselves by measuring the pulse at
endurance level.
Since 2002 I have been taking Basics Plus, Activize Oxyplus and Restorate with
iron on a daily basis and the benefits are huge. Willingness to perform and levels of concentration are even present after a 12 hour day.
Soccer is a team game and success is dependent on many factors – in the first
instance, though, from the fitness and health of each player. In spite of healthy
diet, substitution of vital substances and trace elements is advisable for professional athletes. The composition of FitLine products and the availability of ingredients at the right place, namely at cell level, convinced me as a physician and
many players.
What is also very important is the doping safety for those responsible and for
players. The first product which has convinced me 100% – and I can but recommend it to professional and hobby athletes.“

“I tested the products for the first time and observed very positive reactions in my
body. Fatigue and that feeling of ‘total exhaustion’ didn’t turn up during the test
Germany
month. I used to try to keep myself awake with coffee, which only had a very shortterm effect. Since I have been taking the products, I notice no craving for coffee at all and drink my first one in the
morning by habit and because of the taste. I now very rarely drink my usual ‘second cup’ in the afternoon. I feel
awake and fit. I also notice a great difference in my muscles. I used to have tensed muscles after EVERY flight and
problems with my knees, which were caused by the high, unequal strain on the leg muscles.
During the European Cup at which I tested the products, at times I relinquished treatment by our physiotherapist
and even after the longest flights, I had far less tension than usual.
I used to only sporadically take mineral or vitamin tablets after extreme strain. By taking vital substances in the
FitLine products daily ,I have noticeable results. In addition, it also motivated me to do without unhealthy ‘enjoyable’ foods which increases the effects all the more.“

challenges of the many training camps and contests more easily since starting to take the FitLine products in January
2006. For me the Fitness-Drink is a highlight in effect in training. Not just, that I am now drinking more water than
I used to, my immune system has become really fit. During preparations, I often battled stomach trouble. Through
the effect of Basics, this has completely disappeared. Taking the FitLine products has also clearly improved my concentration.“

“I have been using the FitLine products since January 2006 and am thrilled about their effects. The higher tension
in many training camps and contests made me very susceptible to illness and I missed a lot of training. Through
Restorate and Basics this has completely disappeared. My recovery phases are much more intensive and also shorter than they used to be. The additional effect: I am drinking much more water than I used to, which, together with
Fitness-Drink of course, has a great effect.
Activize did amaze me. I simply feel good with the Fitline products, and my regeneration phases after training and
contests have become noticeably shorter.”

“I achieved the leap into professional class in 2005 and for my first year, I have to show: one European
Championship title, two third places and a third place at the World Championships and two fourth places. I
achieved this success with the support of the FitLine products, as I was able to pick up my old form again quickly
thanks to FitLine after a two month break due to injury and even strongly improved my general condition above
and beyond that. My training load has increased from 15 to19 hours on average. In a nutshell: I see optimal
requirements for preparation for the Summer Games 2008 in Beijing with FitLine.“

“Following an operation which made a longer break necessary, the FitLine products were recommended to me when I started training again to improve nutrient
supply and so increase performance in training. As I had already taken nutrient
Germany
supplements before, I was excited and skeptical at once. However, after just a few
days, I noticed how I was waking up every morning recovered and refreshed and that fatigue had fled. I can finish exactly those two training units every day which I had found very hard before better now as motivation and concentration are clearly better here. In general, I have more energy, drive, feel fitter and my recovery phase is considerably shorter. The strong improvement to digestion surprised me just as much as I am thankful for it!
I no longer want to do without these excellent products and can only recommend them to everyone who wants to
do something for themselves and their fitness.”

“I train 2-3 times a day in my sport, judo. This demands complex training, on my
Germany
training program are power, quickness and endurance and also sport specific
training and coordination exercises. With the FitLine products I can achieve a higher qualitative level. I can concentrate better, endure long periods of high strain better and regenerate overnight better with FitLine Restorate.
Twice a day I take Q10 Plus, Antioxy/Zellschutz, Basics Plus and Activize Oxyplus and in training or during a contest, Fitness-Drink. I simply feel more healthy with the FitLine products and have also become more resistant. As there
are weight categories in judo and I consequently always keep an eye on my weight, I often often have to diet before
contests. In doing so, the Gourmet Shakes and Quickies provide me with optimal conditions to continue training at
a qualitatively high level despite losing weight. I have found the optimal nutritional supplements for me, to realize
my sporting goals.“

want to keep up with the leaders. Through the versatility and high quality of the
FitLine products, I have a support which is immediately noticeable for all physiological basic requirements such as power, endurance strength, perseverance,
mobility and coordination. I take Activize Oxyplus and Restorate regularly and
feel more concentrated and recover more quickly.
After 45 years of training I know that up to 50% of sporting success is dependent
on a correct diet. Where there is an increased requirement, this must be covered
by correspondingly high quality additional nutrition. The FitLine products have
confirmed this. I can easily keep up with athletes who are 15 years younger.“

“Due to the high strain involved in bodybuilding training, not only is a good and
healthy diet important, but a source of targeted nutritional supplementation is
also necessary – without one, we couldn’t manage. As I have already tested a lot in that area, I was pleased to be
introduced to the FitLine products. Within a really short period of time, my regeneration period in training was cut
in half, I felt much fitter, better and more focused in general and had much more power than before. The feeling of
being exhausted and drained after training became a thing of the past. At night, I sleep more deeply and get up
immediately at 100%. I can also recommend to everyone building up a business with PM-International and FitLine
as it is a great feeling not just to be able to offer athletes a good product for their performance but also to be able

..I was able to convince myself that the FitLine products are manufactured and checked according to the strict
GMP and ISO guidelines. In my long experience as head physician responsible for the Polish Track and Field
Association, I can assure you that this method of procedure is absolutely atypical for the nutritional supplement branch.
- many top athletes improved their personal best times
- new national and European records were set
- Poland secured third place in the medal table in the European track athlete championships for the
first time in the history of the PZLA (best placement before now was 10th place in the medal table).
The athletes, the medical advisors and I clearly attribute these results to using the FitLine product line....
The FitLine products completely fulfill the requirements set forth.
I look forward to working with you and the FitLine Team in the future

"What has the greatest effect on me, and is also the most important, is Basics. My
body’s absorption ability is considerably higher. I notice this in several areas, e.g.
in my eating habits. I am making better use of the nutrients I take in, am less hungry and think that I can notice how
other nutritional supplements and also proteins and amino acids are taking greater effect.
The reaction of my pulse is amazing, as (although I am now in the phase of contests and under considerable exertion), my pulse is remaining stable (low) and my endurance is more stable overall, which also has to do with my
long term training build up, but FitLine has certainly made a good contribution to that.
What is very obvious is that my ability to recover after heavy strain, and after competitions, has been really cut
down After the 10 000 meters in Antalya, I took a higher amount of both Restorate and Activize for several days
and I did not even fall into a very big hole. And it was amazing for my trainer that I was able to go back onto the
track again just 3 weeks later and could call up my ability to perform. That is not to be taken for granted with 2 x
10 000 meters in 3 weeks.”

“I feel the whole concept, starting with intestinal cleansing via regulation of fluid
intake down to the cell energy concept is extremely effective. I have noticed this clearly in different areas. I especially noticed the cleansing, and the weight loss that goes with it (58 kg at a height of 1,74 m, around 128 pounds
at 5’ 9” ), this is 3 kg less than usual, at the German Cup in the mountain race. I had sufficient power and therefore did not lose substance. Despite the often tough training, I even feel more rested the next morning and after taking my morning power drink (Basics + Activize) I am generally more able to perform the whole morning. On very
tough days (9 hours teaching and training) I take a second drink before lunch. That also helps me to master the
second half of the day.
Since I started taking the FitLine products I have not missed a day, which is astonishing for me. My immune system
is clearly more stable. Beyond that, I was spared injuries in connective tissues, stroma and in the muscles. “

”There are WRC Rallies when we sit in the car for several hours a day and several days at a time at maximum performance level in more than 70° C (approx. 170° F). Every second counts!

“Mental strength is characteristic of those in our sport and it is therefore very
Germany
important to be able to concentrate down to the minute. With Activize Oxyplus,
I have this type of concentration even after a contest. In addition, I am also physically very balanced, which I
attribute to the improved digestion and here, Basics Plus is a huge support. As far as regeneration after contests
and intensive training units is concerned, I can really recommend Restorate. My performance level has therefore
strongly stabilized.
Conclusion: improved concentration, better intestines, extremely good regeneration, no muscle problems, more
power during a contest, a reduction of heart rate under strain.”

“Healthy and balanced nutrition is also getting more and more important for performance athletes. When I took

only have shorter regeneration periods, but also the power that I need to win the races. As a convinced FitLine user,
I think that the use of the products will find general approval among leisure athletes and health-conscious consumers.“

Acids are being quickly reduced in the body. With Activize Oxyplus I get off to an optimal and especially very good
start to the day, which I used to need two coffees to do. Before a competition I do without Activize for two days

“I feel better than ever in training on the glacier with the monoski bobsleigh.
Thanks to Activize Oxyplus, which increases the oxygen supply, I gain a better
training effect at a height of 3 500 m.a.s.l. (around 11 500 feet above sea
level). I feel good, despite tough training and my body can now also cope better with the cold. Restorate, which I take in the evening, helps me to sleep peacefully and so my body has recovered by morning. I have also noticed that I no
Switzerland
longer have as much tension or muscle pain as I used to. Antioxy/Zellschutz,
which I prepare with Activize Oxyplus as one drink has a great side effect. On the glacier, the drink protects me
(together with sun cream) against the sun’s intense rays.
What has essentially improved my quality of life is Basics Plus. Due to my disability, it is part of my day to day life
that my intestines do not work effectively (this is the case for more or less all people with paralysis). Since I started
taking Basics, I can, without exaggeration, go to the toilet every day. I also no longer have air in my stomach and no
longer feel ill at ease. My experience means, I recommend especially to those people who have problems with their
intestines that they try FitLine.“

“The effect is convincing; during preparatory training, I took FitLine Protein-Ultra
bars and Restorate more often for endurance training and cross-country running.
Within a short period of time I noticed that strength and energy were returning, the recovery period also became
shorter. During competitions, I ate a Protein-Ultra bar during the breaks and, in addition, took Activize to enable
me to concentrate optimally. After taking them I always felt full of energy, and experienced no loss in performance
whatsoever during the course of a competition day, but my performance levels remained consistently high, as the
results show. Conclusion: By supplementing my nutrition with FitLine, my preparation period was excellent with
clear increases in performance during training. During competition, my performance level remained consistently

“Along with talent, the right attitude to training and optimal athletic, psychological and medical care, diet is a decisive factor for success in top sports. Only an
athlete who can tap in to his full energy and performance resources is in a position to stand up to the high strain in competitive sports, to activate his mental and
physical potential in decisive situations in matches. Hobby athletes, too, often
underestimate the results of a lack of nutrients, which come from poor quality
food and dietary attitudes which are less than ideal. That is why most people in
Germany are insufficiently provided with vital substances. The results for professional and hobby athletes are the same: quick physical and mental fatigue and
achievement levels which are below the optimal level.
FitLine’s broad-based product range, which was developed according to the highest standards of quality and in cooperation with nutritional scientists working
world-wide and can be compiled specifically according to the individual requirements of the athlete concerned, is excellently suited to sports. The doping safety
FitLine guarantees is a MUST and cooperation with top athletes from vastly different areas creates great credibility in addition to this.

The DTB (German Tennis Association) will use the products in a targeted way
among up and coming athletes and in professional sports, so additionally promoting its athletes.”

“It is amazing in what ways the FitLine products are helping me in my sport.
Because my nutrition is certainly not optimal, my digestion and my immune system
are hugely improved. I clearly notice how I can concentrate down to the last
exchange of balls and I have experienced no muscle problems since the start. I
no longer want to do without FitLine.”

“In my sport of table tennis, the main characteristics of strain are speed, reactions, concentration and coordination
of movements. In January 2004 I started taking the FitLine products and quickly noticed how more energy was
available to me. My ability to concentrate improved. Regeneration time between training units and during competitions shortened dramatically. Pain under strain (such as muscles aches or cramps) were minimized. My sleep
became more restful. All round, I feel fitter and my immune system also became much better, so I am more
resistant.
At the World Cup in Qatar in Spring, the products really proved their worth, as despite the unacustomed high temperatures and two competitions a day, I can say, that I played a tournament ‘without depression or drop.’
Readjustment on returning home was also possible without a cold or tiredness. I am completely convinced about
the effectiveness of the FitLine products and would therefore no longer want to be without them.”

I really look forward to the powerdrink every morning: a mix of Basics (which
removed my intestinal trouble) and Activize .... and also Omega 3 + E and Q10 Plus. Above all, it gives me a feeling of being sufficiently supplied every day and it also tastes good. Restorate in the evening... permits me to sleep
peacefully and in a relaxed way! ... The most important thing for me is that I do not have to take different pills,
drinks and other things at different times, but with one drink morning and night am provided totally and sufficiently with all necessary nutrients, minerals and vitamins.
I feel better able to perform , have lost weight, my metabolism is working better, so I feel better all round, which

used to be. After tough training units, I take Restorate before going to sleep at night. That means I recover more

Recommendations for the Use of FitLine
Products in Performance/Hobby Sports
Mornings (basic supply)
Basics Plus
2 heaped teaspoons (start in first week with only one teaspoon, then increase
slowly)
Activize Oxyplus
1 teaspoon (or Activize Oxy, it has no flush effect)
Q10 Plus
2 pipettes full
Preparation
all products: stir in 400 ml (13.53 fl.oz) cold, non-carbonated water or, according
to taste, in juice diluted with water.
Directions
before or with breakfast; should training units or contests with 80% or more maximum heart rate take place within 2 hours of breakfast, it might be better to take
only 1 teaspoon of Basics PLUS or to wait until after the phase of intensive physical strain (e.g. in the afternoon) especially when the product is first taken.
Note
Basics Plus: during the first phase of use, a stronger activity of the intestines
and/or an increased bowel movement might occur.
Activize Oxyplus: contains niacin among other things that expands blood vessels and promotes circulation. After about 5 to 10 minutes, a reddening of skin
and a feeling of warmth can occur, which results from the expansion of the capillaries. This is completely harmless and abates after a short time.
The FitLine products were developed according to the concept that nutrients will
be absorbed optimally and quickly in the intestines.
Noon (basic supply)

Preparation
stir in 200 to 400 ml (6.76 to 13.53 fl.oz) of non-carbonated water until fizzing
stops. Then drink immediately (important for maximum absorption). Depending on
taste and how it agrees with you, the proportion of water can be increased.
Directions
drink over a period of 10 minutes in short sips half an hour to an hour before going
to bed. People with very sensitive stomach/digestive systems should reduce the
serving of Restorate to one heaped teaspoon at the beginning and drink slowly in
short sips.
Note
Restorate should not be taken immediately after strain, but at least 1 hour afterwards.
Please do not mix Restorate with Basics Plus, as fiber hinders the absorption of
minerals

(during the initial period/first week start with one teaspoon and then increase as
required).
Note
Prepare Restorate as described above and drink around 1 hour after strain in
small sips over around 10 minutes for maximum regeneration and to buffer acid.
People with very sensitive stomachs/digestion should reduce their portion of
Restorate to one heaped teaspoon and drink slowly in small sips.
These are recommendations that have been tried and proved excellent in practice by many elite
athletes. In general, you should try these recommendations for yourself in training and adapt them to
your personal requirements.

your personal requirements.
