Your combat sports pre-workout, to the milligram

This MMA / Boxing pre-workout, in detail

Les sports de combat exigent lucidité, explosivité et endurance sur des rounds répétés. Ta formule articule une caféine calibrée (à doser selon ta tolérance), la bêta-alanine (4 g), la créatine monohydrate (3 g) et la L-tyrosine (750 mg). Le Coach IA ajuste chaque dose à ton format de combat et ta tolérance.

What your combat sport asks of your formula

Les sports de combat enchaînent des rounds courts et intenses entrecoupés de récupérations brèves, avec une exigence permanente de lucidité : rester précis et réactif quand la fatigue monte. Ta formule articule une caféine calibrée à ta tolérance (plafond 200 mg ANSES), la bêta-alanine (4 g) et la L-tyrosine (750 mg) présentées de façon factuelle, ainsi que la créatine monohydrate (3 g). Le Coach IA ajuste chaque dose à ton format (sparring, technique, compétition) et à ton gabarit.

The science behind your actives

For your combat sport as for any demanding training, here is what the scientific literature says about the main actives you can build into your formula:

• Caffeine — the benchmark stimulant; you dose it to your tolerance, within the ANSES safety limit (200 mg per intake, 400 mg a day for an adult). Half-life of 5 to 6 h: best avoided late in the day.
• Beta-alanine — increases muscle carnosine, a natural buffer against acidity (H⁺ ions) on repeated intense efforts. Dose and use in line with the position stand of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN, Trexler et al., 2015); cumulative effect over 2 to 4 weeks, mild tingling (paraesthesia).
• Citrulline — an amino acid, precursor of L-arginine, which is involved in the nitric oxide pathway; studied range of 6 to 8 g. Presented factually.
• L-tyrosine — an amino acid, precursor of the catecholamines (dopamine, noradrenaline); studied range of 1 to 2 g — the dose in our formulas goes up to 1 g per serving. Presented factually.
• Creatine (optional) — the only authorised health claim here: “creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise” (EFSA, EU Regulation no. 432/2012), from 3 g a day.
