Creatine Complex
Creatine HCL – Creatine Nitrate – Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate
Krebs Cycle Accelerator ⁴⁰ creatine mix, is a powerful complex of 3 types of creatines.
This complex is a non-water retention complex, for athletes who need all the power of creatine, without the extra weight.
No water retention, no extra weight gain, only the power of ATP-PCr system accelaration and completion of creatine.
Creatine HCL is 38x more soluble than creatine monohydrate. This makes it much faster in action than monohydrate.
Faster absorption means no loading phase, as creatine works from the first day of use and needs no loading-maintenanse and off phases
Creatine Nitrate, works on 2 points, as it works as creatine and as nitrate supplements.
Take all the creatine benefits (power and strength increase, endurance and performance improvement, muscle mass increase etc) and all the nitrate benefits.
9g of 3 powerful creatines in Krebs Cycle Accelerator⁴⁰ to super boost your training.

NITRATES FOR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
Nitrates are a naturally occurring compound found in food sources like spinach, beets, and arugula. When dietary nitrates are consumed, they get reduced to nitric oxide in the body, which acts as a vasodilator in the body meaning that it widens blood vessels which can help make it easier for blood to flow. Nitrates are popular supplements among athletes looking to improve performance. Some of the proposed mechanisms that nitrates work through include increased oxygen transport and uptake in the muscles.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 72 studies on the effects of dietary nitrate supplementation on endurance performance found nitrate supplementation beneficial for improved power output, time to exhaustion, and distance traveled.
A systematic review of 19 studies on the effects of dietary nitrate supplementation on human muscle power found nitrate supplementation beneficial for increasing maximal muscle power
BENEFITS OF CREATINE NITRATE TOGETHER
The 2-in-1 compound NO3-T Creatine Nitrate is a patented blend of creatine mixed with nitrates. When this ingredient is ingested, it splits into creatine and nitrate in the body and each ingredient gets absorbed separately. One study showed that supplementation of creatine nitrate for 28 days was safe
In two different studies scientists had groups supplement with different doses of creatine nitrate and measured their performance. The researchers noted improvements in bench press lifting volume, peak power, average power, and average velocity.
In other words, creatine nitrate supplementation helped athletes perform more work, lift with more power, and lift with more speed.
Explosive performance!
Creatine HCL – 3800% more soluble
This creatine bonded to Hydrochloride parts, is the highest soluble creatine of all.
By a score of 3800% higher solubility than creatine monohydrate, Creatine Hydrochloride is the best micro-dosing creatine, as it gives great benefits even in a dosages under 1g.
It is the most absorbed creatine form by any other creatine and it the fastest acting one.

Creatine – the body’s own dietary supplement
Creatine, which occurs naturally in the body, plays a crucial role in the body’s energy metabolism. If energy is needed, ATP (adenosine triphosphate = energy currency of the cell) is converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate). Eventually, the body turns ADP back into ATP using energy derived from food, but this takes time, and muscle cells can store only enough ATP to allow a few seconds of high-intensity work. Therefore, creatine supplementation is substantial to ensure high levels of phosphocreatine.
Everybody needs creatine every day
Adults have around 80–130 g of creatine in their bodies. Every day about 1–2 % of this creatine is broken down and excreted, so it has to be replenished. The human body naturally produces some creatine. Intake of significant amounts of creatine from food is only possible by eating meat and meat products. However, cooking and food preparation can result in creatine loss in food. Given your daily requirement of creatine, consumption of meat and synthesis of creatine by your own body may only provide maintenance levels of creatine. The body’s need for creatine to maximize your creatine levels may be significantly greater and that is why a Creapure® creatine supplement may be right for you.
Who benefits?
Creatine isn’t just for Bodybuilders and Fitness Athletes. It is the perfect supplement for all sports that require repeated bursts of maximum power – such as Soccer, Basketball, Football, Baseball, Hockey, Swimming, Track and Field, and many more. To consistently perform at your highest level, you need a sufficient amount of creatine in your body.
As we age, we can also benefit from taking Creapure®. In combination with moderate resistance training, Creapure® helps to stop the age related loss of muscle mass, strength and improves mental activity.
Did you know several scientific studies indicate that creatine has even more beneficial effects, which have been shown in the following categories: Brain function, sleep (better quality of sleep and decreased sleep demand), antioxidative property, bone health.
Vegetarians and Vegans show lower muscle creatine stores compared to people who eat meat
Nitrix Oxide & Blood Flow Improving Agents Complex
L-Citrulline Complex – L-Arginine AKG – Grape seed dry extract
L-Citrulline Complex – DL-Malate & Base
Citrulline has important roles in the body, but unlike some amino acids, it is not used to build proteins
However, it plays a necessary part in the urea cycle, which rids your body of harmful compounds. Specifically, the urea cycle removes ammonia from the body. The final product of this cycle is urea, which your body gets rid of in urine.
Citrulline can also help widen your blood vessels and may play a role in muscle building
Citrulline produces several important effects in the body.
One major way it works is by increasing vasodilation.
Although citrulline isn’t an amino acid used directly to build proteins, it has been shown to increase protein synthesis by stimulating an important signaling pathway involved in muscle building
Citrulline may also reduce the liver’s uptake of certain amino acids and prevent their breakdown
Through these dual effects on protein synthesis and amino acid breakdown, it may contribute to maintaining or increasing muscle mass.
Citrulline can increase the rise in growth hormone (GH) seen after exercise and during sleep.
The post-exercise rise in GH and other hormones may be involved in the beneficial adaptations your body experiences when you exercise
The amino acid may also improve erections in men with erectile dysfunction, probably through its ability to increase blood flow
Nitrix Oxide & Blood Flow Improving Complex Benefits:
- Supports Muscle Growth
- Improves Athletic Performance
- Improves Endurance
- Supports Long & Intense Training
- Lowers Blood Pressure
- Improves Oxygen Transportation to Muscles & Brain
- Improves Blood Flow
- Improves Recovery
- Improves Nutrients Trasportation to Muscles & Brain
- Reduces Inflammations
- Reduces After-Training Swelling
- reduces muscle damage and promotes muscle regeneration
Hormone & Testosterone Support Complex
D-Aspartic acid – Testofen®- Fenugreek dry extract
D-Aspartic Acid
Studies have shown that males at the age of 27 and above benefit from as much as 118% increase in LH levels when using DAA and an average of around 48% increase in natural testosterone. DAA achieves this by stimulating the production of signal molecules which in turn enhance the activity in your testes as well as your pituitary gland. There you then have the simple explanation as to how DAA is so effective in causing a natural elevation in your testosterone levels. However, are you aware of all of the benefits of sky high natural testosterone levels or not? Well here are the main benefits anyway, in case you didn’t already know.
First of all testosterone directly effects your protein synthesis levels therefore it is key as an athlete to ensure your natural testosterone levels are high. This way you can be sure that your ability to repair damaged muscle fibres as well as add lean muscle mass to your frame is optimised because your body is able assimilate a higher percentage of your dietary proteins. Furthermore, healthy testosterone levels support fat loss because your body is able to assimilate fat more effectively as an energy source. Finally, high natural testosterone levels are very important for any serious male athlete because testosterone allows for higher levels of strength and energy, meaning that you can add more muscle as well as burn more body fat. Essentially testosterone is an absolutely critical hormone for any male athlete therefore it is in your best interests to utilise quality natural supplements such as DAA to ensure you’re in the best possible shape.
Testofen (®)
Testofen®, is a patented trigonella foenum graecum extract, that provides 50% fenuside (TM), a very strong plant substance that increases the anabolic ability, the testosterone endogenous production and the libido.
Fenugreek (trigonella foenum graecum extract) contains over 100 phytochemical constituents, including Furostanol Saponins and Steroidal Saponins, and has multiple health applications. However, Testofen is a unique extract of fenugreek standardized to a proprietary matrix of saponin glycosides that Gencor has named Fenuside. These constituents in Testofen can support healthy sexual desire and vitality*, muscle mass, free testosterone levels in men, and help reduce normal symptoms of Andropause in men.*
Supplementing diets with products containing Testofen, and regular resistance exercise, can help men maintain healthy levels of free testosterone that are already within the normal range, which, in turn, supports multiple bodily functions.
Human study on free testosterone and performance*
Study Results: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled human clinical study of 60 subjects was conducted using Testofen as the sole ingredient. The active group demonstrated the following mainly statistically significant results:
- Significant anabolic activity as evidenced by BUN reduction (p<0.05) compared to placebo*
- Significant support for free testosterone (p<0.05) compared to placebo group*
- Immune support (p<0.003) compared to placebo group*
- Significant support for Serum Creatinine levels (p<0.02) compared to placebo group signifying support for Creatine uptake and recycling in muscle cells*
- Significant support for prolactin (p<0.04) compared to placebo group, however, this increase is within physiological limits for men*
- Significant decrease in body fat compared to baseline*
- Supports maintenance of muscle size despite maintaining overall weight and reduction of body fat* (although not significant)

Human study on Andropause
A study was conducted in Australia and aimed to assess the effectiveness of Testofen on symptoms of Andropause. This 12 week, single-site, double-blind, randomized, short-duration human clinical trial was conducted on 120 male subjects, aged 40-75, who reported having symptoms of Andropause (male menopause), and were otherwise considered to be healthy.
Participants were given a clinically-validated questionnaire (AMS), which was comprised of seventeen questions in three sub-scales (Psychological, Somatic, and Sexual). This questionnaire helped gauge the level of severity of Andropause symptoms. In addition, this study also used the DISF-SR to measure the parameters.
Testofen was shown to significantly reduce normal symptoms of Andropause in the active treatment group at weeks 6 & 12 in the total AMS score and all sub-domains (except psychological sub-score), compared to the placebo.
Overall, Testofen was shown to effectively reduce the normal symptoms of Andropause and improve sexual health by significantly increasing arousal, sexual desire, sexual activity, and free and total testosterone levels.
Citation: Rao, Amanda, et al., Testofen, a specialised Trigonella foenum-graecum seed extract reduces age-related symptoms of androgen decrease, increases testosterone levels and improves sexual function in healthy aging males in a double-blind randomized clinical study (2016).
Other clinically proven features of Testofen extract
- Insulin Memetic (it works like insuline)
- Glucose Disposal
- Glycogen Resynthesis
- Glucose Loading
- Exercise Recovery Improvement
During a specialized research, muscle biopsies revealed that combining Trigonella foenum-graecum seed extract with glucose, results to a 63% more glycogen resynthesis than using the same amount of glucose alone. It was also noted that when a post workout glucose drink provided the insulin memetic properties of Trigonella foenum-graecum seed extract increased the amino acid transport into muscles, giving a great recovery and anabolic result.
Glycometabolic & Lipometabolic Agents
L-Carnitine Tartrate
Fat Loss | Endurance | Performance | Hormone Synthesis | Antioxidant
Fat Loss:
L-Carnitine is the nutrient needed to help support conversion of fat into metabolic energy.
In the case of weight management, decreasing fat mass while preserving muscle mass is the ultimate goal. To decrease body fat, it must be used for energy via beta-oxidation. While weight management and sustained energy are different applications, both require using fatty acids, breaking them down, and converting them into energy in the form of ATP. L-Carnitine is the nutrient needed to help support this conversion of fat into metabolic energy. As Carnitine supplementation can increase beta-oxidation, this results in glucose sparing and decreased breakdown of amino acids for energy production.
Healthy Aging:
Elderly people have a lower energy demand and eating habits change with age. For example, they usually consume less meat. The resulting reduction in energy metabolism due to lower L-Carnitine levels can be restored by L-Carnitine supplementation.
Sports:
Studies suggest L-Carnitine can be used to sustain energy, as its main metabolic function is to transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation.
L-Carnitine provides benefits ranging from increasing blood flow, reducing markers of metabolic stress, decreasing muscle soreness and improving recovery time.
Exercise & Recovery:
L-Carnitine plays an important role in facilitating the recovery process in response to physical activity. In this role, L-Carnitine helps to protect the endothelial cells from an L-Carnitine deficiency (thereby positively influencing the markers of purine catabolism), reduce tissue damage and muscle soreness and facilitate the overall process of recovery. Therefore, L-Carnitine is emerging as a key ingredient in exercise and recovery type formulations across the globe.
Specifically, L-Carnitine provides benefits in this application ranging from increasing blood flow, reducing markers of metabolic stress, decreasing muscle soreness and improving recovery time.
Rhodiola Rosea Extract – 15% rosavin
SCN for once more brings the best quality to cove the needs of the best athletes.
We use 15% rosavins extract, on the contrary to most brands which use just leaf of rooe powder (very low effect) or low percent of active ingredients (5-8% of rosavins).
15% rosavins extract will give all the amazing effects of this miracle herb to the maximum.
Rhodiola has over 140 different compounds, including phenols, roasvins, rosin, rosarin, terpenoids, flavonoids, anthraquinones and flavonoids.
Also, Rhodiola exhibits adapt genic effects, such as: neuroprotective, cardioprotective, anti-fatigue, anxiolytic, nootropic, anti-depressant and central nervous system (CNS) stimulating effects.
It is clinically proven to:
INCREASE ENDURANCE & EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
The effective dosage for a high performance athlete is 6-8mg/kg of body weight.
This dosage received 30-45 minutes before training (main part of training, not warm up), showed a huge effect in endurance and performance increasing, decreased heart rate during training, reducing lactate levels very fast after training. This 3 effects make Rhodiola Rosea important for endurance athletes.
IMPROVE EXERTION
It makes you feel and breath better while training.
Better breathing means more oxygen, better metabolic rate, less lactic acid.
IMPROVE MUSCULAR STRENGTH
There is no positive effect of rhodiola in muscle strength increasing. From the other had, endurance (more reps) will help your muscles be stronger.
IMPROVE ENERGY PRODUCTION
Rhodiola has been suggested to increase ATP – adenosine triphosphate
REDUCING BLOOD LACTATE LEVELS
Rhodiola also displays the ability to reduce muscular damage during exercise. It reduces blood lactate and creatine kinase levels after exhaustive exercise, also, it delays onset muscle soreness, liver enzymes, or inflammatory markers.
Other Rhodiola Rosea Extract Effects:
- BOOSTING ANTI-VIRAL IMMUNITY
- ANTIOXIDANT SUPPORT
- COGNITIVE SUPPORT
- ANXIETY & LOW MOOD SUPPORT
Inositol
Inositol is a vitamin-like substance that is produced naturally in the body. Although supplementation is popular, before increasing the amount of inositol in your diet, it is best to understand what it can do.
Inositol is a pseudo-vitamin chemical compound, which was earlier known as vitamin B8 and considered part of the B complex vitamins. However, once it was discovered that our body can make its own inositol, it was no longer considered a true vitamin. Inositol is a sugar alcohol with six hydroxyl groups, and myo-inositol is what this sugar alcohol is converted to in the brain.
Some health conditions cause the body to produce less of this compound, so supplementation is occasionally required. That being said, you can also eat certain foods to increase your levels, such as brown rice, citrus fruits, nuts, wheat germ, green leafy vegetables, cereals, soy flour, and whole grain bread. Lecithin granules and other sources of lecithin are also great sources of this vitamin-like substance.
Inositol is found in high concentrations in the brain where it works closely with various neurotransmitters and therefore, is most commonly associated with neural functions. While this is the main aspect of health linked to this chemical, there are many other impressive health benefits you can enjoy by ensuring you have enough of it in your diet.
The most impressive health benefits of inositol include the following:
- Treating anxiety disorders
- Maintaining hormone levels
- Improving fertility
- Treating Alzheimer’s
- Weight loss
- Boosting circulation
- Treating diabetes
Choline bitartrate
Choline plays an important role in controlling fat and cholesterol buildup in the body. It has even been suggested that choline helps the body burn fat, which may result in easier weight loss and better metabolic health.
Choline is also very critical for overall brain and body health since it provides two of the most important substances needed in the production of cellular membranes.
Choline transports lipids (fats) from the liver and helps form betaine, an important methyl donor which is used in a number of bodily processes.
This is what makes choline an important dietary supplement if you want to burn fat more efficiently and stop yourself from putting on more weight. The lipotropic effect of Choline means that it promotes the body’s use of fat for energy over other sources like glucose which is typically burned first.
Choline also aids the liver by breaking down and disposing of “trapped” fats. Healthy levels of this nutrient in your system ensures that fatty acids are made available to cellular mitochondria which can then convert these fats into ATP or energy.
Furthermore, there is credible evidence that sub-optimal choline levels in humans are associated with liver and muscular damage.

What is Ubiquinol?
Ubiquinol is the active and non-oxidized form of CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) readily usable by your body.
What is the difference between Ubiquinol and regular CoQ10?
Ubiquinol is the most readily absorbed form of CoQ10 and is one of the most powerful fat-soluble antioxidants in the body. Ubiquinol is also the major form of CoQ10 in the body (over 95%).
CoQ10 is a required nutrient found in every cell of your body and is vital for providing energy to your cells, helping your organs perform at their best and protecting your cells and blood from oxidation.
What’s the difference between Ubiquinol and CoQ10?
Ubiquinol and Ubiquinone are both forms of CoQ10, and both are necessary to produce cellular energy.
Ubiquinone – the oxidized form
Ubiquinone is the oxidized form of CoQ10 and has been taken as a supplement and studied for more than 30 years. Over the past three decades, CoQ10 has been recognized for its benefits to general health and wellness as well cardiovascular and neurological health.
Ubiquinol – the active form
To generate cellular energy, the body must convert ubiquinone into ubiquinol.
Without this conversion, the body’s energy production process cannot be completed and energy levels cannot be sustained. Thus, both are critical to sustaining your body’s natural energy. The reduced form of Ubiquinol has only became available in supplement form in recent years and is now available internationally.
The difference between CoQ10 & Ubiquinol
Ubiquinol and Ubiquinone are both forms of CoQ10, and both are necessary to produce cellular energy.
Ubiquinone is the oxidized form of CoQ10 and has been taken as a supplement and studied for more than 50 years.
Over the past five decades, CoQ10 has been recognized for its benefits to general health and wellness as well as cardiovascular and neurological health.
Ubiquinol is the reduced (not oxidized) form of CoQ10, and is essential in the body’s natural production of cellular energy and provides powerful antioxidant protection to cells. Without it, the body cannot sustain energy.
It has become available in supplement form in recent years and is now available internationally.
Fast facts
- 18 clinical studies have highlighted the superior efficacy of Ubiquinol over conventional Coenzyme.
- Ubiquinol is 3-8 times more absorbable than conventional Coenzyme Q10.
- Ubiquinol helps to protect the body’s cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals.
- Ubiquinol superior absorption ability when compared to CoQ10 means you can take a lower dose for the same effect.
Energy and Performance
Feeling tired or fatigued? You may be suffering from low levels of Ubiquinol in your body. Your body needs Ubiquinol to generate energy. It acts within your cells to naturally increase energy levels.
Ubiquinol plays a big role in transferring electrons to generate cellular energy, known as ATP, the molecule that transfers chemical energy within cells for metabolism.
Doctors and researchers now consider Ubiquinol’s antioxidant features which Ubiquinone does not have, to be one of the most important functions in the body’s cellular systems and cellular energy production process.
Exercise & Energy
Testosterone Boosters can also boost the power production of trained athletes. Athletes who received Ubiquinol increase their power per kilogram of body weight by over 2.5 percent in just six weeks.
The study, published by the Journal of Sports Nutrition, found Ubiquinol supplementation resulted in significantly enhanced physical performance compared to athletes who received a placebo.
Fatigue
Have you ever wondered why you can’t shake the feeling of fatigue, no matter how much you rest and how good your sleep is? When you’re too tired, sometimes games like Betwiz promote relaxation.
The answer may lie in depleted levels of Ubiquinol, the antioxidant found naturally in the body that is responsible for supporting energy production.
Research indicates that as we age, our natural Ubiquinol levels decline and our ability for our body to restore these levels declines too[1].
Ubiquinol is the “spark plug” that helps fire energy production in your cells.
When we age, or when we are under prolonged stress due to lifestyle, diet or environmental factors, our natural Ubiquinol levels may become depleted and the ability to produce Ubiquinol declines. That’s why some use CBD Oil to defeat the stress.
In addition to this, the free radical activity and oxidative stress that occurs in our body from normal metabolism, even in healthy individuals, increases as we get older[2].
One of the main roles of antioxidants in the body is to help combat free radical activity and oxidative stress. As such, antioxidants like Ubiquinol may help to minimise the impairment of normal functioning cells thereby help to support healthy ageing by restoring essential levels of Ubiquinol back into your system.
When your energy production is low, it affects your natural energy levels in your organs such as heart and liver, which means they are unable to function optimally. This may be the reason why you are feeling sluggish and generally tired.
How can Ubiquinol help?
In order to receive the minimum required amount of Ubiquinol each day (100 – 150mg), one would need to eat 3.4kg of red meat, 5.7kg of chicken or 50 cups of spinach.
Scientific studies have indicated that Ubiquinol in an active and readily bioavailable form may be an efficient way to help restore healthy levels of Ubiquinol and support optimal energy levels.

Maritime Pine dry extract
Maritime pine trees (Pinus pinaster) grow in countries on the Mediterranean Sea. Its bark may be helpful for asthma and improved leg circulation. Maritime pine contains chemicals that might improve blood flow, stimulate the immune system, reduce swelling, prevent infections, and have antioxidant effects.
Brain Studies – Benefits
- May reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s by protecting neurons from beta-amyloid plaques in the brain.
- Promotes healthy brain function. A 2011 Italian trial administered a pine bark extract supplement to students for eight weeks, resulting in improved concentration, memory and mood, and a decrease in anxiety levels. This was thought to be the result of improved blood flow to the brain. An earlier study showed improved memory in healthy elderly people, and reduced oxidative stress markers.
- Can reduce ADHD symptoms in children. A small initial trial showed that pine bark extract reduces oxidative damage, increases antioxidant levels and improves immunity and neurochemical balance in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It also showed a reduction in associated physical and psychiatric complaints. Researchers evaluated pine bark extract as an alternative to Methylphenidate (e.g. Ritalin), which has several serious side effects, including arrhythmia, insomnia and decreased appetite. PBE was indicated to be at least as effective as Methylphenidate, without serious side effects, and more effective than placebo in this preliminary trial. A larger follow-up trial was announced in 2017.

- May reduce your risk of cataracts: pine bark’s antioxidant activity helps prevent cataracts and protects the eyes from the damaging effects of the sun.
Glucuronolactone
- Glucuronolactone is most commonly known as a popular component of energy drinks
- Glucuronolactone is a normal human metabolite formed from glucose, but is only present in small amounts in the diet
- In the body it exists as in physiological equilibrium with glucuronic acid
- Therefore supplementation with glucuronolactone boosts glucuronic acid and association phase II glucuronidation
- Supplementation with glucuronolactone may improve liver function through its link with glucuronidation
- Typical doses of glucuronolactone in energy drinks and supplements are generally considered to be safe
What is Glucuronolactone
Glucuronolactone (D-glucurono-gamma-lactone) is a naturally occurring solid white compound that has applications for bodybuilding and exercise. It is one of the lesser known ingredients, but there is evidence to suggest that it may be useful in increasing both physical and mental performance.
Glucuronolactone Benefits for Bodybuilding & Endurance
In physiological trials, glucuronolactone has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of toxic by-products of intensive exercise as well as other negative effects causing fatigue (Tamura et al, 1968). Various studies have investigated products containing glucuronolactone on physical performance. When human subjects were given an energy drink containing a combination of glucuronolactone, caffeine, and taurine, it was found that they experienced improvements in aerobic and anaerobic performance compared to those receiving a control (Alford et al, 2001). When used in a pre workout supplement, glucuronolactone in combination with the aforementioned ingredients resulted in an increase in total repetitions performed. This also led to an increase in an anabolic response among supplemented people (Hoffman et al, 2008). These results were later reproduced and supported by the same group of researchers (Gonzalez et al, 2011). Such results suggest that glucuronolactone may help to increase strength and lean gains when used in conjunction with weight training.
Glucuronolactone Benefits for Mental Performance
It has been reported that not only does glucuronolactone help to improve physical performance, there is also evidence to suggests it helps to increase mental performance. When given an energy drink containing glucuronolactone, subjects showed significant improvements in reaction time, concentration, and memory (Alford et al, 2001).
Glucoronolactone has an excellent synergistic effect when combined with citrulline and caffeine
Anhydrous caffeine
THE BENEFITS OF CAFFEINE FOR ENDURANCE ATHLETES
Most athletes, especially endurance athletes often use caffeine as a performance and endurance enhancing ingredient.
Caffeine may be the most widely used stimulant in the world. It can come in many forms such as coffee, nutrition supplements, tea, soft drinks, energy drinks and chocolate.
Caffeine can reach its highest levels in the blood approximately one hour after ingestion.
It can have a stimulant effect on the brain as well as affect blood pressure, pulse rate, stomach acid production and fat stores.
PERFORMANCE
Caffeine may help mobilize fat stores, enabling the body to use fat as its primary fuel source. By utilizing fat as fuel, this allows the body to spare glycogen, which is an additional fuel source for the body stored in the muscles and liver. (For more on this check out Why Athletes Need Carbohydrates). By delaying muscle glycogen depletion, exercise can be prolonged enabling the athlete to go harder, longer, faster and perform more reps before fatigue.
Glycogen sparing is most crucial in the first 15 minutes of exercise. This is when caffeine can help significantly decrease glycogen depletion. Even though caffeine reaches its highest levels in the blood 45 to 60 minutes after ingestion, some research suggest consuming caffeine three or more hours before exercise is most beneficial. The reason is that caffeine may have a maximum effect on fat stores several hours after peak blood levels.
The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition says that caffeine in the amount equivalent to one to three cups of coffee lowers heart rate during sub-maximal exercise, but not at near maximal or maximal exercise. The effects of caffeine were measured during dynamic leg exercise on a cycle ergometer. According to the Journal of Applied Physiology, no significant differences were noted in terms of heart rate.
Recent work by the ACSM, on well-trained athletes reported that 3-9mg caffeine per kg (kilogram) of body weight one-hour prior to exercise increased running and cycling endurance in the laboratory.
RECOVERY
Caffeine may also help assist in enhancing recovery after exercise. According to the American Physiological Society, four hours post-exercise, muscle glycogen increased 66 percent by ingesting a carbohydrate drink containing caffeine as compared to the carbohydrate-only drink. This type of increase in muscle glycogen can help to expedite recovery and it will help to make the next day’s workout that much more productive. The carbohydrate and caffeine drink post-exercise also resulted in higher blood glucose and plasma insulin.
IS IT LEGAL IN COMPETITION?
Based on information provided by the IOC (International Olympic Committee), athletes are allowed up to 12 ug (micorgrams) caffeine per milliliter urine before it is considered illegal (15 ug as per the NCAA). These limits allow athletes to consume ‘normal’ amounts of caffeine prior to competition.
In summary, caffeine may help assist in performance and recovery. As with any supplement/drug, be sure to use responsibly and always consult with your physician if you have any questions regarding caffeine use and your known medical condition(s), current medications, etc.

Betaine HCL (or Trimethylglycine)
JUST TRAIN LONGER
What is TMG?
Betaine HCL or Trimethylglycine (TMG) is an amino acid derivative found in foods like beet root and meat.
It protects cells from damage and may also benefit athletic endurance, heart health, and mood.
TMG also contributes to the synthesis of creatine, an organic compound crucial for energy production in muscles and the brain. By facilitating creatine production, TMG supports athletic performance, muscle growth and cognitive function—and all-round positive for your body and mind. This highlights the multifaceted nature of TMG in supporting various physiological processes.
By enhancing creatine production, TMG may help improve muscle strength, power and endurance during high-intensity exercises.
Furthermore, TMG plays a significant role in the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a compound involved in numerous biochemical reactions in the body. SAMe is essential for the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which regulate mood, sleep and cognitive function. By supporting SAMe production, TMG indirectly contributes to maintaining mental health at work and in your private life, thus leading to improved emotional well-being.
In addition to its cardiovascular and digestive health benefits, TMG has shown promise in supporting athletic performance. By enhancing creatine production, TMG may help improve muscle strength, power and endurance during high-intensity exercises. This makes TMG an attractive supplement for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to optimize their physical performance and recovery.

Ginseng root dry extract
Panax ginseng contains many active chemicals. The most important are called ginsenosides or panaxosides. Panax ginseng is taken by mouth for memory and thinking skills, Alzheimer disease, depression, and many other conditions.
Ginseng is traditionally used to protect the nervous system. Ginseng is effective in memory improvement, and in the direct prevention of degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. The neuroprotective effect of ginseng may be useful in the prevention of depression.
Ginseng is an adaptogenic herb that supports the body and increases resilience to stress, fatigue and brain fog. It has been used extensively in traditional Chinese medicine for memory support and to improve endurance.
Ginseng is one of the best herbs for memory due to its potential ability to prevent memory loss and reduce age-related memory declines. One of the most popular plants in herbal medicine, ginseng contains anti-inflammatory chemicals called ginsenosides
L-TAURINE
L-Taurine, is not a stimulant as most people think.
It is an amino acid that acts as a vasodilator improving transport of oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissues and different organs.
The greatest role of L-Taurine regarding the recovery proccess, is the cytoprotective (cell-protecting) role it has
Other benefits of L-Taurine:
- Maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance in your cells
- Forming bile salts, which play an important role in digestion
- Regulating minerals such as calcium within your cells
- Supporting the general function of your central nervous system and eyes
- Regulating immune system health and antioxidant function
- Inreases Insulin Sensitivity
- Promotes Recovery Processes.
- Science has repeatedly shown that taurine is a powerful antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing agent. Exercise stress destabilizes and damages muscle cells by a number of different mechanisms, including oxidative stress. The antioxidant properties of taurine can ameliorate these adverse effects. Taurine has also been shown to reduce inflammation associated with cellular damage. Based on taurine’s protective properties, research has shown that this supplement can defend against exercise induced muscle damage and speed recovery.
DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol)
ORNITHINE AKG – PURE ENERGY – LESS FATIGUE
Gives A Huge Advantage For Long and High Intensity Training
L-ornithine is crucial for removal of bodily wastes while it helps boost your energy level and provide your body with many other significant benefits.
THE UREA CYCLE – ENERGY PRODUCTION AND DISPOSE OF AMMONIA
When your cells break down nitrogen-containing compounds such as proteins, they produce ammonia as a byproduct.
This can be toxic if not removed.
In the urea cycle, liver cells convert ammonia into urea, a waste product eliminated by your kidneys — ornithine is central to this process and gives the cycle its alternate name, the ornithine cycle. When a problem develops and ornithine can’t participate effectively in the urea cycle, potentially serious conditions can result, including one called ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.
Allowing ammonia to accumulate in the blood, and this can cause lack of energy, seizures or other symptoms.
ANTI-FATIGUE BENEFITS – SAVE YOUR MUSCLE TISSUE
Your kidneys convert ornithine into arginine, another amino acid that benefits your body in several ways.
Arginine is a precursor for a compound called nitric oxide, which helps dilate your blood vessels when you require extra blood to your tissues.
Arginine also helps your muscle cells produce creatine, a compound they need to contract.
Research suggests that consuming extra ornithine can help promote physical strength and endurance.
For example, a study published in the November 2008 issue of “Nutrition Research” found that healthy subjects who took extra ornithine experienced less exercise-induced fatigue than a placebo group.
The authors concluded that ornithine promotes more efficient energy usage by cells, and they recommend it as an nutritional supplement to prevent fatigue.
Other Effects
Supplementing with ornithine helps you:
- enhance wound healing
- Produce more collagen, ( important in forming new connective tissue).
- Reduce anxiety-like behavior
Performance Enhancing Vitamin & Mineral Complex
Vitamin C
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a vitamin your body needs to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle and collagen in bones. Vitamin C is also vital to your body’s healing process.
An antioxidant, vitamin C might help protect your cells against the effects of free radicals — molecules produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radicals might play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Vitamin C also helps your body absorb and store iron.
Because your body doesn’t produce vitamin C, you need to get it from your diet or as an oral supplement.
People with gastrointestinal conditions and some types of cancer might be susceptible to vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is also used to increase iron absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
Niacin
Benefits:
- Contributes to normal psychological function, including aspects of mental performance such as concentration, learning, memory and reasoning. Combined deficiency of niacin and tryptophan cause the symptoms of pellagra. These are dermatitis, diarrhoea, dementia, depression, apathy, headache, fatigue and memory loss.
- Contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism – Energy is generally derived from oxidation/reduction (redox) reactions involving the transfer of electrons. The coenzymes NAD and NADP are required by up to 200 enzymes to give and take electrons for these redox reactions. NAD is needed to break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins and alcohol to provide energy and NADP is needed to synthesize fatty acids and cholesterol. NAD and NADP are also key components of pathways that make more ATP (energy molecules) and ADP –ribose transfer reactions. These reactions are involved in the control of cellular processes such as DNA repair and programmed cell death (apoptosis) So niacin contributes to energy and vitality.
- Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
- Contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes
- Contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
- Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Vitamin B12
Benefits:

- SUPPORTS NERVE FUNCTION
- SUPPORTS MOOD & MEMORY
- REGULATES HOMOCYSTEINE LEVELS
- REDUSES STRESS FACTORS OF BODY & MIND
- INCREASES BLOOD LEVELS
- REBUILDS DAMAGED NERVES
Vitamin B6
Benefits:
- It contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system. P5P is an essential cofactor in the manufacture of brain lipids (fats) and neurotransmitter (brain chemicals) metabolism and production, particularly the production of dopamine, noradrenalin, serotonin, GABA and glutamate.
- It contributes to normal psychological function. Adequate neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) are needed for normal psychological function, including mood and P5P is a necessary cofactor for their production and metabolism. One of the symptoms of B6 deficiency is confusion implying impairment of normal psychological functions.
- It contributes to normal cysteine synthesis. Keratin in hair is mainly made of proteins, cysteine, cystine and methionine connected together by sulphur links and Vitamin B6 is needed for cysteine synthesis.
- It contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. Glycogen is the stored form of glucose in the body so B6 is essential for changing this into energy.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin B6, as pyridoxal-phosphate, has a well established role in the provision of glucose.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Impaired condensation of homocysteine with serine causing mild, moderate, or severe elevations in plasma homocysteine is among the symptoms of vitamin B6 deficiency.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B6 deficiency can cause microcytic, hypochromic anemia in which the hemoglobin, concentration of erythrocytes is reduced, which may lead to symptoms of weakness, tiredness or fatigue.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.
Pantothenic Acid
Vitamin B5 is also known as pantothenic acid.
Benefits:
- It contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism.
- It contributes to normal mental performance.
- It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- It contributes to the synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones.
- It contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of Vitamin D.
- It contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of some neurotransmitters.
- Improves adrenal function
Vitamin B1
Thiamine HCL
This is the know vitamin B1.
Benefits:
- It contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism. Thiamine pyrophosphate is required as a coenzyme for a few but important enzymes that enable pyruvate to form Acetyl Co A , and alpha ketoglutarate to form Succinyl-Co A products in the cells that make energy from food. http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh27-2/134-142.htm
- It contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system. In the brain Thiamine is required by nerve cells and supporting nervous system cells (or “glial cells”), it’s also needed to create neurotransmitters.
- It contributes to normal psychological function – Thiamine Pyrophosphate is necessary to create some neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) that are essential for normal psychological function.
- It contributes to the normal function of the heart –Thiamine is found in high concentration in the heart as well as the brain, liver and kidney. The heart is particularly sensitive to Thiamine deficiency, and impairment of the Thiamine Pyrophosphate dependent enzymes primarily affects the heart and nervous system.
Vitamin B2
Benefits:
- It contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism – Vitamin B2 is required in its coenzyme form (FAD) for participation in the Citric Acid cycle to produce energy.
- It contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system– Again in its Coenzyme form, FAD , Vitamin B2 is needed for the monoamine oxidase enzyme, which functions in the metabolism of neurotransmitters ( brain chemicals ) for normal functioning of the nervous system.
- It contributes to the maintenance of normal red blood cells- Vitamin B2 improves iron absorption and riboflavin deficiency induces anaemia , where there are immature red blood cells.
- It contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes–both acute and chronic deficiencies result in mucocutaneous lesions that disappear after adequate doses of B2 are given.
- It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision– Riboflavin deficiency is associated with decreased activity of the enzyme glutathione reductase, the enzyme responsible for the production of glutathione. Reduced glutathione protects the lens of the eye from oxidative damage and is decreased in cataracts. Riboflavin deficiency can cause conjunctivitis with vascularization of the cornea and opacity of the lens (cataracts).
- It contributes to the normal metabolism of iron. Iron metabolism is impaired in riboflavin deficiency. The utilization of iron reserves from the intracellular protein ferritin requires riboflavin. Riboflavin is required for hemoglobin synthesis.
- It contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin B2 participates in many reactions where the cofactors P-5-P and FAD act as electron carriers, protecting the DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage.
- It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue As Vitamin B2 is involved in manufacturing energy adequate doses of B2 contribute to normal metabolism resulting in energy.

Anti-Oxidant Support
R-Ala (Alpha lipoic acid)
R-lipoic acid, or thioctic acid, is a disulfide-containing compound, found inside every cell of the body.
It is called the “universal antioxidant”
Important functions of lipoic acid:
- Lipoic acid acts as a powerful antioxidant both inside and outside of the cells.
- Lipoic acid scavenges several reactive oxygen species.
- Lipoic acid helps to regenerate both fat and water-soluble antioxidant vitamins (such as vitamins C and E).
- Lipoic acid improves sugar and fat metabolism.
- Lipoic acid is an essential cofactor for mitochondrial respiratory enzymes that improves mitochondrial function. Lipoic acid exerts a “rejuvenating” impact on mitochondria by protecting them against the higher levels of ROS they produce during the aging process.
- Lipoic acid also has anti-inflammatory action, independently of its antioxidant activity.
A healthy body makes enough lipoic acid to supply its energy requirements; therefore, there is no daily requirement for this supplement. However, several medical conditions appear to be accompanied by low levels of lipoic acid – specifically, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, and heart disease.
In Europe, lipoic acid is licensed for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. It has been shown to enhance insulin sensitivity, improve microcirculation in the limbs, and reduce neuropathic symptoms.

Bioavailability & Absorption Enhancers
Senactive®- Panax ginseng & Rosa canina extracts
SENACTIV® REPLACES SENESCENT CELLS WITH NEW MUSCLE CELLS FOR ENHANCED EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
Senactiv® is the first senolytic sportsceutical that elevates exercise endurance, recovery, and energy with rapid senescent cell clearance and new muscle cell generation.
The higher density of senescent cells in a tissue, the lower the tissue can perform. In a perfect world, senescent cells are recognized and cleared by phagocytes, a type of immune cell within the body that engulfs and clears away unwanted items including bacteria, pathogens, and dead cells.2
Taking Senactiv® before physical activities or exercise activates macrophages for rapid senescent cell clearance, allowing migration of stem cells into exercised muscle for new muscle cell generation. Our scientists made the discovery that the aging cells accumulated in the muscle are mostly stem cells which are responsible for the regeneration of muscle and blood vessels.
Younger muscle cells work longer, harder, and recover faster than older muscle cells because they have higher mitochondria counts which produce energy, greater ATP energy production capacity, and higher glycogen storing capacity. Senactiv® is the first senolytic for enhanced exercise performance on the market.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Senactiv® increases endurance by increasing glycogen and energy production in the muscle cells through lowered inflammation during exercise through increasing insulin sensitivity, reduced lipid peroxidation, and increased mitochondria density from rapid muscle regeneration as evidenced by our TBARS, MDA, TNF-α, IL-10, glycogen replenishment, and citrate synthase activity studies.
Senactiv® speeds up muscle fatigue recovery by lowering muscle inflammation and accelerating muscle regeneration through senescent cell clearance for rapid new muscle cell regeneration as evidenced by our TBARS, MDA, IL-6, CK, TNF-α, IL-10, SA-gal, P16ink4α+ muscle cells, apoptotic nuclei, iNOS, Pax7, Mfy5, total glutathione, and centrally nucleated myofibers studies.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Bioperine®- Black pepper dry extract
This amazing ingredient, is a petented extract of black perper (piper nigrum) also know as Piperine.
Bioperine, is standardized to 95% Piperine and a clinnically proven for its safety and efficacy nutrient bioenhancing thermonutrient.
It is a natural bioavailability enhancer, which means that makes all the other ingredients that you receive with it, to be absorbed faster and more commplete.
So, you take the 100% of the benefits of all ingredients.
Nutrient Absorption
Of the many Bioperine benefits offered, the one most talked about is its ability to increase the level of absorption of nutrients within your body. Sometimes referred to as “bioenhancement,” this ability means you get more out of other nutrients that you consume. With many nutrients, such as turmeric and curcumin, you only absorb a fraction of what you ingest. When combined with Piperine, however, you may assimilate much more of these nutrients. This may also apply to nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, selenium, Vitamin B6, beta-carotene, and more.
Improved Metabolism (glucometabolic – lipometabolic effect)
One way Bioperine increases nutrient absorption is by increasing your metabolism by improving thermogenesis (the heat that your body produces). This process essentially breaks down your fat cells and increases your internal temperature. That means Bioperine may be used to help people regulate their weight. While the overall effect of this ability is slight, when combined with a more comprehensive weight loss plan, it may have a noticeable impact.
Raised Dopamine and Serotonin
It’s possible that Piperine may also help improve dopamine and serotonin levels. The nutrient works with closely with these chemicals, increasing their levels. This may have the ability to help individuals have more positive feelings, in part because they’re involved with rewarding people with these feelings.
Improved Memory
As mentioned above, Piperine may improve the neurotransmission of certain chemicals. Two such chemicals — serotonin and beta-endorphin — play an important role in memory. With an increased presence of these chemicals in their body, it’s possible that people could improve their memory overall, which is something many people are striving for as they grow older.
Improved Immune System
A malfunctioning immune system may sometimes overreact when the human body is attacked. Regulating this overly sensitive reactivity is necessary to keep the immune system under control. That’s where Bioperine comes in. A study in 2010 indicates that by slowing the reaction time of lymphocytes, Bioperine may reduce inflammation and weaken certain immune system responses.
Improve Mental Skills
In addition to helping your memory, Bioperine may also boost some of your other executive functions. That could mean improving your attention and reasoning skills, along with your overall motivation. In other words, Bioperine could possibly contribute to improving your overall production and sharpening your mental abilities. Those who are feeling mentally sluggish and lacking in motivation may feel a boost with an added amount of Bioperine. The nutrient may also play a factor in managing stress levels, allowing people to relax as they become more productive.
