Nitric Oxide Activators:
- Citrulline Malate (8g per serving): Citrulline Malate is a compound that enhances nitric oxide production in the body. It helps in improving blood flow, increasing exercise performance, reducing fatigue, and promoting post-workout recovery. Studies have shown that citrulline malate supplementation can enhance endurance and reduce muscle soreness by improving the production of ATP, the primary energy source for muscle contraction.

- Rhodiola Rosea Extract 5% (300mg per serving): Rhodiola Rosea is an adaptogenic herb that helps the body adapt to physical and mental stress. It has been shown to reduce fatigue, improve mood, enhance cognitive function, and increase exercise performance. Rhodiola Rosea extract acts as a dopamine modulator, promoting mental clarity and focus.
[Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24682000/]
- Caffeine (200mg per serving): Caffeine is a stimulant that acts on the central nervous system, promoting alertness, focus, and enhanced cognitive function. It has been extensively studied for its ergogenic effects, including increased endurance, reduced perception of effort, and improved power output during exercise. Caffeine also helps stimulate the release of adrenaline, providing an energy boost.

Hydration:
- Himalayan Rock Salt (100mg per serving): Himalayan Rock Salt contains essential minerals, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which are vital for maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance in the body. These minerals help regulate fluid levels, support nerve function, and prevent muscle cramps during exercise.
[Study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2908954/]
- Potassium Citrate (700mg per serving): Potassium Citrate is a highly bioavailable form of potassium that plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. It helps prevent muscle cramps, supports cardiovascular health, and promotes optimal hydration during intense physical activity.
[Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25121797/]
- Magnesium Citrate (50mg per serving): Magnesium Citrate is an essential mineral that aids in muscle relaxation, energy production, and electrolyte balance. It helps prevent muscle cramps, supports proper hydration, and contributes to overall exercise performance and recovery.
[Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21789308/]
- Coconut Water Powder (80mg per serving): Coconut Water Powder is a natural source of electrolytes, including potassium, sodium, and magnesium. It helps replenish electrolytes lost through sweat, supports hydration, and provides a source of energy during physical activity.
