  • Utilize the latest scientific research for optimal results
  • Ensure world-class standards with rigorous testing and certifications
  • Accelerate recovery from exercise with high-quality ingredients

Benefits

  • Enhance exercise performance and increase muscle protein synthesis
  • Prevent muscle tissue breakdown and boost energy levels
  • Improve cognition, focus, and exercise pump

Formula Ingredients & Benefits

Vitamin A

  • Supports vision health, skin health, immune health, and increases antioxidant support (16,17).
  • Supports antioxidant function via decreased inflammatory cytokines (inflammation), decreased reactive oxygen species, and increased L-glutathione production (master antioxidant).
  • Supports visual health via increased amounts of plasma vitamin A in macular (eye) tissues.

L-Glutamine

  • The most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle that fuels immune cells, improves exercise recovery and optimizes the gut microbiome (5).
  • Vital for lymphocyte (immune cell) proliferation (growth) and paramount in neutrophil (immune cell) destruction of bacteria (5).
  • Vital for activation of genetic signals that support immune function and vitality (5).
  • Glutamine is utilized by immune cells at high rates during catabolic conditions (post-surgery, sepsis, burns, and extreme exercise (5).

Taurine

  • Supports hydration, increased energy, antioxidant function, and increases fat metabolism during aerobic exercise (18,19).
  • Supports antioxidant function via combating reactive oxygen species (19).
  • Increases fat metabolism during exercise via enhanced mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (cells using fat as fuel) (18).

L- Arginine

  • Natural vasodilator precursor to increased nitric oxide levels (1).
  • Supports immune function by the maturation of the T cell (immune cell) receptor zeta (TCR) (2).
  • Improves exercise performance via increased stroke volume (blood flow) and increased nutrient delivery to exercising muscle (3).
  • Reduces arterial blood pressure, insulin resistance, and supports fat lipolysis (fat burning) (4).

BCAA 2:1 (Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine)

  • Improve exercise performance, increase muscle protein synthesis, prevent muscle tissue breakdown, supports immunity, gut health, lipid metabolism, and recovery (10,11).
  • Leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth) via stimulation of the mTORC1 pathway (a genetic pathway for cell growth) even in a caloric deficit (10).
  • Suppresses muscle degradative pathway (muscle tissue breakdown) during times of catabolism and caloric deficit (10).
  • Leucine stimulates muscle growth in sarcopenic elderly individuals that have increased leucine needs (10).
  • Acts as a regulator to promote intestinal development, nutrient transporters, and immune-related function (11).

L-Citrulline

  • Supports cardiovascular health and exercise performance by increasing the production of l-arginine (8).
  • Increases nitric oxide production, improves exercise performance and increases blood flow to exercising skeletal muscle (9).
  • Supports strength increases, exercise endurance, and recovery (8,9).
  • May reduce blood pressure by increasing vascular function (8).

L-Theanine

  • A unique non-protein amino acid found in green tea (Camellia sinensis) (12).
  • Supports mood, mental clarity, and cognitive health, memory, and is a natural anti-depressant/neuroprotective agent (12).
  • Aids as an antidepressant due to partial antagonism for the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor manifesting its cognitive optimizing effects (12).
  • Reduces the neuropsychiatric side effects of chronic adolescent THC exposure (13).

L-Tyrosine

  • Supports memory, cognitive flexibility, the executive function of the brain, and convergent thinking (14).
  • A precursor to dopamine and is vital for dopamine synthesis in the brain (14).
  • Supports cognitive function in individuals with high amounts of stress and anxiety (14,15).
  • Increases dopamine levels in highly stressed individuals (14).

L- Lysine

  • Supports skin health, immune health, antioxidant function, reduced anxiety, and energy production (22).
  • Supports reduced anxiety via decreases in plasma cortisol concentrations (22).

L-Histidine

  • Supports immune health (23).

Caffeine

  • Optimizes energy, cognitive function, and mental alertness. (6)
  • Supplementation with caffeine has been shown to acutely enhance exercise performance (6).

Green Tea Extract

  • Supports increased nitric oxide production, reduces blood pressure, reduces DNA damage, increases collagen production, increases bone strength, and aids as a neuroprotective agent (7).
  • Supports antioxidant function via modulation of antioxidant enzyme expression, protection against oxidative damage, and reduced reactive oxygen species (7).
  • Supports cardiovascular health via reduced atherosclerosis, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and improved endothelial vascular function (7).

Theobromine

  • Supports increased energy and cognitive function (21).

L-Threonine

  • Supports digestive health via restoration of mucin synthesis and stabilization of gut microbiota (20).

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take one (1) scoop with 8-12 oz of water. New users may wish to assess tolerance with ½ scoop.
