L-Taurine
A naturally occurring chemical substance present in meat, fish and dairy products. Vitamin B6 is required by the body to synthesize Taurine from other nutrients. Adult humans have high concentrations of Taurine in white blood cells, skeletal muscles, the heart and central nervous system. It plays a role in digestion, and is used to process potassium, calcium and sodium in the body, as well as maintain the integrity of cell membranes.
L-Tyrosine
An amino acid that is one of the building blocks of protein. It plays an important role in the production of neurotransmitters that regulate emotions. It transmits nerve impulses to the brain, elevates mood, improves memory and increases mental alertness. It’s present in meat, dairy, fish and grains.
Beta Alanine
Beta-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid and is the only naturally occurring beta-amino acid. Not to be confused with regular alanine, beta- alanine is classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid, as it is not believed to be used in the building of proteins.
DL-Phenylalanine
Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that is also one of the aromatic amino acids that exhibit ultraviolet radiation absorption properties and is the most commonly found aromatic amino acid.
Evodiamine
The bioactive alkaloid (a naturally occurring amino produced by a plant) extract known as evodiamine comes from a plant called Evodiae Fructus. It’s a stimulant that increases your resting core temperature and body heat. Evodiamine is also known as Wu-Chu-Yu, and has been used by Chinese herbalists as a weight loss supplement for centuries.
Niacinamide/Nicotinamide, Vitamin B3
Niacinamide is an amine form of niacin and is important in promoting a healthy nervous system, skin, and gastrointestinal functioning. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that may preserve and improve beta cell function. Nicotinamide may have anti-diabetogenic activity in some. It has been used in diabetes treatment and prevention. It may also have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic activities. Nicotinamide has putatitive activity against osteoarthritis and granuloma annulare. Nicotinamide is a potent anti-inflammatory agent used in various dermatological disorders. Niacinamide enhances insulin secretion and increases insulin sensitivity. Evidence points to niacinamide supplements being very effective in preventing type I diabetes from progressing in some patients if given soon enough at the onset of diabetes. It does so primarily by helping restore beta cells.
Pyridoxine HCL, Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 supports more vital bodily functions than any other vitamin. Vitamin B6 is a coenzyme for several enzyme systems. Vitamin B6, used mainly in the body for the processing of amino acids, performs this task along with certain enzymes. It is vital in the metabolism of amino acids in the intestines. It allows the amino acids to be synthesized, broken down and absorbed. The forming of histamine, serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline are dependent on vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is required for the production of serotonin and helps to maintain healthy immune system functions, to protect the heart from cholesterol deposits, and to prevent kidney stone formation.
Cyanocobalamin, Vitamin B12
Vitamin B6 supports more vital bodily functions than any other vitamin. Vitamin B6 is a coenzyme for several enzyme systems. Vitamin B6, used mainly in the body for the processing of amino acids, performs this task along with certain enzymes. It is vital in the metabolism of amino acids in the intestines. It allows the amino acids to be synthesized, broken down and absorbed. The forming of histamine, serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline are dependent on vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is required for the production of serotonin and helps to maintain healthy immune system functions, to protect the heart from cholesterol deposits, and to prevent kidney stone formation.
D-Calcium Pantothenate Powder, Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 plays an important role in the secretion of hormones, such as cortisone because of the role it plays in supporting the adrenal gland. These hormones assist the metabolism, help to fight allergies and are beneficial in the maintenance of healthy skin, muscles and nerves. Like other B vitamins, pantothenic acid helps the body extract energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It also helps to metabolize fats and produce red blood cells and hormones from the adrenal gland. Pantothenic acid is necessary to maintain good health.
Caffeine Anhydrous Powder
Caffeine is one of the most popular fast acting stimulants. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, increases the release of adrenaline, acts as a thermogenic agent (raises metabolic rate and core body temperature), increases the use of body fat for fuel, and spares muscle glycogen increasing endurance.
Studies suggest Caffeine has significant effects on physiological response and performance of trained athletes. Caffeine should be taken approximately Three hours before training for maximum benefit with ample fluids. If Caffeine is taken on a daily basis, the positive benefits to training will be diminished. Caffeine ingested through foods and beverages should be limited to ensure a maximum training effect.
Caffeine has been shown to enhance fat-loss, maximize energy, increase performance in aerobic and anaerobic events, and works in synergy with other substances such as choline and acetyl l-carnitine (ALCAR). Caffeine is primarily used as a power and energy accelerant! It’s perfect to super energize your body for powerful workouts. This fast-acting substance delivers the right molecular structure to your energy systems for maximum energy and power output. Caffeine is fast-acting because it stimulates the central nervous system so you’re neurologically charged to increased levels of alertness and focus.
Glucuronolactone
Glucuronolactone has been shown to improve memory retention and concentration and act as an antidepressant and stimulant. It is present in some energy drinks and is a precursor to taurine. Most of these drinks contain caffeine, but glucuronolactone is included because it is purported to fight fatigue and provide a sense of well-being.
Niacin, B3
Niacin plays an important role in removing toxic and harmful chemicals from the body. It also helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. Niacin helps to maintain the central nervous system and is also effective in improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood. It also helps maintain a healthy skin, tongue and digestive system and prevents pellagra. Pellagra is the name given to the medical condition that results from a lack of niacin and symptoms include weakness, sore mouth and irritability. Niacin requirements can be partially met by eating foods containing protein because the human body is able to convert tryptophan, an amino acid, into niacin.
Folic Acid
Also known as Vitamin B9, it plays an important role in facilitating many body processes. Among them are cell maintenance and repair, synthesis of DNA, amino acid metabolism and formation of red and white blood cells.
Riboflavin, Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is a water-soluble vitamin present in most animal and plant tissues. It is one of the essential B vitamins, known to help support adrenal function, help calm and maintain a healthy nervous system, and facilitate key metabolic processes, including helping to turn food into energy.
