EXERT - PRE WORKOUT

L-Citrulline is an amino acid naturally found in watermelon.

Once metabolised L-Citrulline is converted into another amino acid called L-Arginine, which is responsible for increasing the production of nitric oxide and improving blood flow through vasodilation of the blood vessels.[R]

Clinical studies suggest that L-Citrulline supplementation has significant benefits on exercise performance.

• Increased Blood Flow & Nutrient Delivery.[R]
• Improved Muscular Endurance.[R]
• Enhanced ATP Production & Reduced Muscular Soreness.[R]

Optimal Dose: 6,000mg-10,000mg.

Beta Alanine is an amino acid produced by the body and naturally found in food sources such as turkey, chicken, beef, pork, and fish.

Beta Alanine supplementation has been proven to increase carnosine levels. Carnosine is shown to play a significant role in reducing muscle acidity, increasing the amount of work that muscles can do before they become fatigued.[R][R]

Clinical studies suggest that beta alanine supplementation has significant benefits on exercise performance.

• Delayed Muscle Fatigue.[R][R][R]
• Improved Muscular Endurance.[R]
• Increased Overall Muscle Strength.[R]

Optimal Dose: 3,000mg-5,000mg.

Betaine anhydrous, also known simply as betaine, is a naturally occurring compound found in a variety of foods, including beets, spinach, and whole grains.

Betaine is an osmolyte which is a molecule that works to maintain fluid balance in your body's cells. Put simply, it pulls water into your cells, increasing muscle fullness therefore, stimulating water-based pumps whilst maintaining cellular hydration.

Clinical studies suggest that betaine supplementation has significant benefits on exercise performance.

• Triggers Significant Muscle Growth Response.[R]
• Improved Muscular Endurance & Rep Volume.[R][R]
• Improved Body Composition.[R]

Optimal Dose: 1,250mg-2,500mg.

L-Tyrosine is an amino acid produced by the body and naturally found in food sources such as turkey, chicken, milk, yoghurt and fish.

L-tyrosine is an amino acid that serves as a precursor to several important neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

Clinical studies suggest that L-Tyrosine supplementation has significant benefits on exercise performance.

• Improved Cognitive Function & Focus.[R]
• Stress Reduction.[R]
• Potential Impact on Physical Performance Under Stress.[R]

Optimal Dose: 500mg-2,000mg.

Nitrosigine® is a patented complex of Bonded Arginine Silicate that is scientifically engineered to deliver benefits essential to peak sports performance. Nitrosigine is a powerful and safe non-stimulant ingredient that has been clinically studied for safety and efficacy in 30 studies. The use of Nitrosigine has been shown to promote nitric oxide (NO) production for improved blood flow, focus, and energy.

The unique complex of arginine and silicon in Nitrosigine unlocks powerful synergistic effects that offer enhanced benefits. Arginine contributes to boosting nitric oxide (NO) levels, which has been shown to be a key factor in generating greater blood flow and vasodilation in working muscles. Meanwhile, silicon contributes to blood flow by strengthening and improving the flexibility of arterial walls. Together, these ingredients offer powerful efficacious results compared to each ingredient alone. Nitrosigine increases blood levels of arginine for up to six hours and elevates blood levels of silicon with a single dose.

Nutrition21 has conducted 100 studies and counting to support the safety and effectiveness of their ingredients. This research has helped them carve out unique product claims for formulators in the dietary supplement, food and beverage, and sports nutrition industries.

The above extracts are from Nutrition 21, read them here.

Researchers at The University of Arkansas published an independent study that showed that a single dose of Nitrosigine increases blood flow and vasodilation. In fact, it only took 1.5g of Nitrosigine vs. 8g of Citrulline Malate to achieve the same result.

We formulated EXERT with a full dose of Nitrosigine® AND a full dose of Pure L-Citrulline.

Optimal Dose: 750mg-1,500mg.

Alpha GPC is a molecule that contains choline, is a precursor of acetylcholine and can increase acetylcholine concentration in the brain. Alpha GPC also has an impact on the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems.

Clinical studies suggest that Alpha GPC supplementation has significant benefits on exercise performance.

• Increased Motivation.[R]
• Increased Growth Hormone Production.[R]
• Improved Cognitive Performance.[R]

Optimal Dose: 300mg-600mg.

Caffeine is a well-known compound naturally found in coffee beans and tea leaves. Caffeine, in general, is known for its stimulating effects on the central nervous system.

Clinical studies suggest that caffeine supplementation has significant benefits on exercise performance.

• Increased Alertness & Focus.[R]
• Improved Endurance & Delayed Fatigue.[R]

Optimal Dose: 150mg-300mg. 400mg is generally accepted as the upper limit of daily consumption.

L-Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in green tea leaves.

Clinical studies suggest that L-Theanine supplementation has significant benefits on exercise performance.

• Synergistic Effects with Caffeine.[R]
• Improved Calmness & Focus.[R]
• Reduced Perceived Stress & Anxiety.[R]

Optimal Dose: 100mg-200mg.

Infinergy™ Di-Caffeine Malate is an ingredient by Creative Compounds. Di-Caffeine Malate is a combination of caffeine and malic acid fused into an ionic bonded compound, resulting in approximately 75% caffeine to 25% malic acid.

Malic acid serves to buffer salts in the caffeine allowing for an easier digestion and promote a slower release of energy, mitigating the crash typically associated with caffeine.

We've paired our Natural Caffeine (Coffeine®) with Infinergy™ in EXERT to provide you with the perfect balance of immediate energy and a slower releasing energy providing longer-lasting effects.

Optimal Dose: 400mg is generally accepted as the upper limit of daily caffeine consumption.

AstraGin® is a patented, plant-based compound providing full-spectrum gut support through enhanced absorption, microbiota and immune cell viability, and supporting a healthy intestinal wall environment.[R]

AstraGin® has been proven to increase the absorption of amino acids by up to 69%[R] which we've included at the clinically effective dose to ensure optimum absorption of EXERT.

• Enhanced nutrient absorption.[R]
• Supports a healthy intestinal wall environment at the cellular level.[R]
• Strengthens gut-based immune system.[R]
• Supports microbiota population in the gut.[R]

Optimal Dose: 50mg.
