Pre-Workout Performance
A 17-active pre-workout anchored on three workhorse actives at research-referenced doses – 1500mg Dicreatine Malate, 1500mg L-Arginine AAKG, 750mg Beta Alanine – plus 175mg caffeine, a B-vitamin complex, electrolyte minerals, and a 550mg Energy/Endurance/Focus Matrix. Start at 1 scoop to assess tolerance; full dose is 2 scoops. If you take heart or blood pressure medication, see Safety Information below.
L-Arginine AAKG and nitric oxide production. L-Arginine is the substrate for nitric oxide synthase – the enzyme that produces nitric oxide, the vasodilator responsible for increased blood flow to working muscle. The AAKG (alpha-ketoglutarate) form sustains NO production more effectively than free-form L-Arginine. At 1500mg per scoop and 3000mg at full dose, the formula sits in the range where vasodilation effects on performance are clinically measurable. Beta-alanine complements by raising intramuscular carnosine – the buffer that delays lactic acid accumulation in the 60-second to 4-minute high-intensity range. The tingling paresthesia some users experience is harmless and indicates the dose is reaching effective serum levels.
Why dicreatine malate at this dose. Dicreatine malate delivers creatine bonded to malate – creatine for phosphocreatine regeneration (the rapid ATP-recharge system for the first 8–15 seconds of maximum effort) and malate as a Krebs cycle substrate contributing to aerobic energy output. At 1500mg per scoop (~1.2g elemental creatine), 2 scoops delivers ~2.4g – supportive as part of daily creatine intake. Stack with standalone creatine monohydrate to reach the 5g/day standard maintenance dose. The full formula at 2 scoops delivers 150mg caffeine with a B-vitamin complex and electrolyte minerals calibrated for the pre-training window.
What each ingredient does236
01
ATP Cofactor
Magnesium
+
−
Magnesium must pair with ATP for the cellular energy reactions that power muscle contraction, and is depleted through sweat during training. Pre-workout supplementation maintains the cofactor availability that performance depends on. Also supports blood pressure regulation and post-workout muscle recovery.
02
ATP Regeneration
Dicreatine Malate
+
−
Dicreatine Malate bonds creatine to malate – delivering creatine for phosphocreatine-based energy (ATP) regeneration alongside malate as a cellular energy cycle substrate. Two mechanisms in one compound. Contributes to daily creatine intake; stack with standalone creatine monohydrate to reach the 5g/day standard dose.
03
Nitric Oxide Pathway
L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate
+
−
L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAKG) is the substrate for nitric oxide – the vasodilator behind increased blood flow to working muscle and the training pump. AAKG provides more sustained nitric oxide production than free-form L-arginine. See Safety Information below if you take heart or blood pressure medication.
04
Lactic Acid Buffer
Beta Alanine
+
−
Beta Alanine raises intramuscular carnosine – the buffer that delays lactic acid accumulation during the 60-second to 4-minute high-intensity range. Effects build with consistent daily use rather than single doses. The tingling paresthesia some users experience is harmless and signals the dose is reaching effective serum levels.
05
Performance Activation
Caffeine
+
−
Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors – the brain's fatigue-signaling pathway – increasing alertness and reducing perceived exertion during training. Also elevates metabolic rate and enhances the thermogenic effect of the other actives. Moderate pre-workout dose; well within the 400mg daily ceiling at 1 scoop (175mg vs. 150mg in the Fruit Punch variant).
06
Endurance Enhancement
Energy/Endurance/Focus Matrix
+
−
This matrix delivers L-Citrulline Malate (additional nitric oxide support beyond arginine), L-Taurine (cellular hydration and neural stabilization), Betaine Anhydrous (power output and homocysteine metabolism), Glucuronolactone (alertness), and L-Tyrosine (dopamine and norepinephrine substrate) – the broad-spectrum performance layer.
