We show to the milligram what the others hide.

Anhydrous caffeine

The most studied stimulant in the world: caffeine acts on adenosine receptors. Effect in 20-40 min, peak at 60 min, half-life 4-6h.

• Presented on a factual basis: no health claim is authorised for caffeine
• Dosed to your tolerance, from 0 to 200 mg per portion (ANSES ceiling respected)

Beta-alanine

A precursor of muscle carnosine, which acts as a pH buffer and pushes acidosis back. It is the anti-"wall" active par excellence on efforts of 30s to 10min.

• +2.85% work capacity on efforts of 60s-240s (Saunders 2017 meta-analysis)
• Cumulative effects: takes 4-8 weeks to saturate muscle carnosine
• Tingling (paraesthesia) is mild and passing — a sign that it is working
• Particularly effective in CrossFit, Hyrox, MMA and repeated sprints

Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine monohydrate. Immediate energy for short, explosive efforts (1-10 seconds), by regenerating ATP. Increases the muscle store of phosphocreatine. Authorised EFSA claim Reg 432/2012.

• EFSA claim: "creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise" (from 3 g/day)
• Monohydrate form, dosed to the milligram, certificate of analysis per batch on request
• Synergy with beta-alanine (explosive ATP + pH buffer on the long sets)
• Can be switched off in the builder if you already supplement with it separately

Pure L-Citrulline

A precursor of arginine and nitric oxide (NO). Studies have observed an increase in muscle blood flow (the "pump" effect) and in recovery between sets.

• Increases blood NO by 20-40% within 1h (Schwedhelm 2008)
• up to +50% more sets to failure on the bench press (Pérez-Guisado 2010)
• Reduces muscle soreness (DOMS) at 24h and 48h after the effort (Pérez-Guisado 2010)

L-Tyrosine

An amino acid, a precursor of dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. Critical under stress (competition, hard training), where those neurotransmitters get drained.

• Improves cognitive function under stress (Jongkees 2015)
• Reduces the performance drop linked to lack of sleep
• Particularly useful in MMA, climbing and combat sports
• Excellent synergy with caffeine

Sodium bicarbonate

Studied at the Lab — not in the builder yet.

An extracellular buffer that fights metabolic acidosis. More effective than beta-alanine on efforts of 1-7 min (middle-distance running, long sprints, Hyrox transitions).

• +1.7% performance on efforts of 1-10 min (Saunders 2014)
• Particularly effective in cycling, swimming and Hyrox
• Encapsulated form to avoid digestive upset (40% of athletes)

Electrolyte complex

Mineral salts essential to cellular hydration and muscle contraction. Critical on long efforts (>1h) and in the heat.

• Sodium speeds up water absorption in the gut
• Potassium is crucial to muscle contraction
• Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (authorised EFSA claim Reg 432/2012)
• Dosing suited to runners, cyclists and triathletes

L-Theanine

An amino acid naturally present in green tea, often paired with caffeine in pre-workouts (up to 1:1). Pure L form.

• The amino acid of green tea, in pure L form
• Traditionally paired with caffeine in pre-workout formulas
• Dosed from 25 to 200 mg per portion depending on your profile

Glycerol

Glycerol draws water into the muscle cells = a hard pump + long-lasting hydration. To be taken with 500ml of water.

• Expansion of plasma volume (hyperhydration) and better cellular osmotic pressure (van Rosendal 2010)
• Studies have observed endurance increased by 4-5% in a hot environment (Patlar 2012)
• Visible muscle pump, lasts 60-90 min
• Very useful for MMA / boxing / sports in the heat

USP Taurine

A sulphur-containing amino acid naturally present in muscle. Regulates intracellular calcium balance, protects cells from oxidative stress and supports muscle contraction during prolonged effort.

• A meta-analysis observed endurance increased by up to +1.7% on efforts >30 min (Waldron 2018)
• Studies have observed a drop in markers of muscle damage after the effort (Schaffer 2010)
• Often paired with caffeine in pre-session formulas — here, every milligram of both is shown
• Excellent for cycling, long-distance running and triathlon

Piperine

Black pepper extract (piperine). Helps you absorb the other ingredients in the formula better.

• Studied for helping the absorption of certain fat-soluble ingredients
• The aim: absorb what you take better, without overdosing
• Particularly effective for beta-alanine, curcumin and CoQ10
• Completely safe at the recommended doses
