Creatine Monohydrate
Ergogenic CompoundsCreatine monohydrate is one of the most well-researched and effective sports nutrition supplements available. It has been shown to increase strength, power output, and lean body mass across hundreds of human clinical trials.
Ashwagandha
AdaptogensAshwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a premier adaptogenic herb used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. Modern clinical research supports its role in reducing cortisol, improving stress resilience, and supporting hormonal balance.
Vitamin D3
VitaminsVitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble secosteroid essential for calcium absorption, bone mineralization, immune regulation, and neuromuscular function. Deficiency is highly prevalent globally.
Beta-Alanine
Amino AcidsBeta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that increases intramuscular carnosine concentrations. It is most effective for exercise lasting 1–10 minutes.
L-Theanine
NootropicsL-Theanine is an amino acid found primarily in green tea. It promotes relaxation without drowsiness and synergizes with caffeine to enhance focus and attention.
Magnesium Glycinate
MineralsMagnesium glycinate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium chelated with glycine. It is favored for sleep support and muscle recovery due to excellent absorption and tolerability.
Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG
Digestive Enzymes, Probiotics & FibersOne of the most extensively studied probiotic strains globally. LGG has strong evidence for preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, supporting immune function, and improving gut barrier integrity.
Digestive Enzyme Complex
Digestive Enzymes, Probiotics & FibersDigestive enzyme supplements contain proteases, amylases, and lipases that assist in the breakdown of macronutrients. They are particularly useful for individuals with pancreatic insufficiency or age-related enzyme decline.
Sodium Citrate
Hydration IngredientsSodium citrate is a buffering electrolyte salt used in hydration formulas and as an ergogenic alkalizing agent. It replenishes sodium lost through sweat and may buffer metabolic acidosis during high-intensity exercise.
Coconut Water Powder
Hydration IngredientsCoconut water powder is a dehydrated form of coconut water providing a natural source of potassium, sodium, magnesium, and other electrolytes. It offers a whole-food alternative to synthetic electrolyte formulas.
Collagen Peptides
Joint and Recovery IngredientsCollagen peptides are enzymatically hydrolyzed collagen proteins providing bioactive peptides that stimulate fibroblast activity and support connective tissue synthesis throughout the body.
Glucosamine Sulfate
Joint and Recovery IngredientsGlucosamine sulfate is an amino sugar and precursor to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the primary structural components of cartilage. It is one of the most widely used joint health supplements globally.
Tart Cherry Extract
Joint and Recovery IngredientsTart cherry extract from Montmorency cherries is rich in anthocyanins and natural melatonin. It has emerging evidence for reducing exercise-induced muscle damage, improving sleep quality, and lowering uric acid levels.
Tongkat Ali
Hormonal Support IngredientsTongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) is a Southeast Asian medicinal plant with growing clinical evidence for supporting healthy testosterone levels, reducing cortisol, and improving male reproductive health parameters.
Apigenin
Sleep and Stress Support IngredientsApigenin (4',5,7-trihydroxyflavone) is a dietary flavone abundant in chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), parsley, celery, and thyme. It is best known as a natural sleep aid via GABA-A benzodiazepine-site modulation and has emerged as a CD38 inhibitor that helps preserve cellular NAD+. Popularized by Andrew Huberman as part of a sleep stack, isolated apigenin has strong mechanistic data but no published RCTs in humans — all clinical evidence to date uses chamomile extracts standardized to apigenin.
Berberine
Metabolic Health IngredientsBerberine is an isoquinoline alkaloid found in goldenseal, barberry, and Oregon grape. It has remarkable clinical evidence for glucose and lipid metabolism — often compared to metformin in head-to-head trials.
L-Citrulline
Pump and Performance IngredientsL-Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that serves as the most effective oral precursor to nitric oxide (NO) production. It bypasses hepatic first-pass metabolism better than L-arginine, making it superior for raising plasma arginine and NO levels.
Nitrosigine®
Pump and Performance IngredientsNitrosigine® is a patented complex of bonded arginine silicate stabilized with inositol (ASI). It delivers a uniquely sustained and clinically superior elevation of plasma arginine and silicon levels compared to standard arginine, producing both vascular and cognitive performance benefits within a single 1500mg dose.
Betaine Anhydrous
Pump and Performance IngredientsBetaine Anhydrous (trimethylglycine) is a naturally occurring osmolyte and methyl donor with dual roles in performance and metabolic health. As an osmolyte, it protects cells from dehydration stress. As a methyl donor, it supports creatine synthesis and homocysteine recycling. Clinical trials show improvements in power output, work capacity, and body composition.
Glycerol
Pump and Performance IngredientsGlycerol is a trihydric sugar alcohol that induces cellular hyperhydration by acting as an osmotic agent in body water compartments. It draws and retains fluid in muscle tissue and plasma, producing dramatic muscle fullness, improved thermoregulation, and enhanced endurance performance — particularly in hot environments. Modern high-yield powder forms like GlycerSize™ and HydroMax® deliver 65% glycerol content, solving the clumping issues of older glycerol monostearate products.
S7™
Pump and Performance IngredientsS7™ is a clinically studied, low-dose (50mg) blend of seven plant-based ingredients that increases the body's own nitric oxide production by 230%. Unlike arginine or citrulline which provide NO precursors, S7™ works by upregulating endogenous eNOS enzyme activity — triggering the body to produce more NO from its own pathways.
Agmatine Sulfate
Pump and Performance IngredientsAgmatine Sulfate is a metabolite of L-arginine produced by decarboxylation via arginine decarboxylase (ADC). It functions as a neuromodulator and NO regulator with a unique mechanism — it inhibits the arginase enzyme that breaks down arginine, thereby extending the half-life of circulating arginine and prolonging NO-mediated vasodilation. It also acts on imidazoline, alpha-2 adrenergic, and NMDA receptors for neuroprotective and mood-regulating effects.
Beetroot Extract
Pump and Performance IngredientsBeetroot Extract provides concentrated dietary nitrate (NO₃⁻) that is converted to nitric oxide through the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway — a completely separate and complementary pathway to the arginine-eNOS route used by citrulline and Nitrosigine. This dual-pathway NO production makes beetroot a unique and evidence-backed endurance and pump ingredient.
Alpha-GPC
NootropicsAlpha-GPC is the most bioavailable choline source, rapidly crossing the blood-brain barrier to serve as a precursor for acetylcholine synthesis. It supports both cognitive function and physical performance by enhancing neuromuscular signaling.
