Making Supplements

Shaun Ferreira and Logan Gatts,sophomore students at the University of Oklahoma, recently started making their own pre-workout supplements. They wanted to make a drink they knew what each ingredient was and that it would not be harmful to their body.

Ferreira and Gatts started making their own drinks this past summer because they know a lot about pre-workout supplements. Both men have been taking pre-workout supplements for a couple years and decided to make their own.

Ferreira and Gatts can alter their supplements to get the effects they want, which they cannot do with store bought supplements. They cannot always trust store bought supplements because they do not know what they are putting into their bodies; unlike the supplements they make themselves.

“We both have taken a lot of supplements out there so we know a lot about it,” Ferreira said, “We have researched the ingredients that we would want in our drinks to make sure they won’t affect our bodies in any way.”

Ferreira and Gatts plan on meeting with a nutritionist to see if their supplements are healthy and safe and then sell them. Both men want to keep testing different supplements to find a drink with the best effects when they work out.

“We gave samples to our friends to try and got great feedback,” Gatts said, “We need to research the legal aspects of selling our product so we will probably sell to our friends then work our way up to see if we can turn it into a business.”

Definition of Marriage

John Corvino spoke at the University of Oklahoma on Friday September 9 about the definition of marriage.

Many people have different definitions of marriage. Some think it is important to keep marriage in its own union for heterosexuals. The New Natural Law has two competing views of marriage, a conjugal view and a revisionist view. The conjugal view better captures our intuitions about what marriage is.

Christina Flanagan, a student at the University of Oklahoma, doesn’t agree with the New Natural Laws because “the couple signs a legal document saying they are married and their vows bond them together.”

Corvino doesn’t think marriage needs a tidy and neat definition. There are many different ways to understand marriage. Five states plus the District of Columbia that recognizes same sex marriage.

Flanagan thinks “marriage is two people who are truly committed to each other for their whole lives and have a ceremony.”

Corvino is a gay rights advocate and is raising awareness about same sex marriage. He is showing people that there is not a true definition for marriage and everyone deserves to be treated equally.
