Scitec Nutrition Ashwagandha - 60 caps

This herbal ingredient have been used by mankind for a long time, for various purposes, and can be considered part of folk traditions. The importance of extracts lies in the fact that they do not focus on the whole plant, but on the extraction of its biologically active components, its concentrated active ingredients, separated from the plant fibres. To do this, different technological solutions can be used, a process called extraction. The product is named after Withania somnifera, better known as Ashwagandha, but also known as Indian ginseng. It is a long-established plant in Ayurveda, and its active ingredient, lactones, can be used for a variety of purposes.

The history of Ashwagandha’s use in traditional Indian medicine spans nearly 3,000 years. Its root has been utilized as an aphrodisiac, narcotic, tonic, diuretic, anthelmintic, and stimulant. While native to India, Ashwagandha is also cultivated in regions such as the Mediterranean, the Himalayas, Africa, the Canary Islands, the Cape of Good Hope, and Australia.

Recently, there has been increasing interest in the potential health benefits of Ashwagandha, particularly regarding stress management, cognitive function, and physical performance. Studies suggest that Ashwagandha supplementation, like Scitec Nutrition Ashwagandha, may offer neuroprotective benefits, support obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment, and possess anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antibacterial properties. Additionally, it may aid in infertility, anticancer treatments, and diabetes management, while also potentially offering cardioprotective effects, improving sleep, enhancing stress resilience, reducing anxiety, and supporting hypothyroidism and muscle strength.

Ashwagandha and Alzheimer’s Disease

As populations age, the prevalence of dementia syndromes, including Alzheimer’s disease, has increased. Dementia is characterized by a range of symptoms caused by progressive brain diseases that affect memory, cognition, orientation, comprehension, learning, and emotional control. In Alzheimer’s disease, β-amyloid protein deposition leads to neurotoxicity by generating free radicals and impairing glucose transport in neurons, resulting in cell damage and death. Additionally, hyperphosphorylated τ proteins form clusters around β-amyloid plaques, contributing to neurodegeneration. Studies have shown that Ashwagandha can neutralize the toxic effects of β-amyloid and may improve cognitive function by inhibiting β-amyloid aggregation and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Research involving rats has demonstrated that vitanon, an ingredient isolated from Ashwagandha’s root, improves cognitive function by decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and reducing lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, withaferin A, another compound in Ashwagandha, shows promise in Alzheimer's treatment by reducing β-amyloid aggregation, inhibiting τ protein accumulation, and regulating stress-related heat shock proteins. In transgenic mice studies, a half-purified extract of Ashwagandha’s root, predominantly containing withanolides, countered the negative effects of Alzheimer’s by increasing levels of LDL receptor-related protein LRP1 in the liver, which reduced β-amyloid and improved behavioral deficits. LRP1 is crucial for amyloid β production and processing. Additionally, various withanolides from Ashwagandha have been found to interact with β-amyloid, preventing its aggregation and reducing toxicity. Recent research also demonstrated that withanolide A from Ashwagandha can penetrate the blood-brain barrier when administered intranasally, resulting in reduced cerebral infarction, improved blood-brain barrier function, and decreased cerebral edema. This compound also mitigates neurotransmitter imbalance caused by ischemia and reduces brain tissue damage and apoptosis. Neurodegenerative diseases affect both humans and animals, sharing similar disease progression and pathomechanisms. Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD) is an age-related disorder in dogs that leads to memory loss and impaired motor function, similar to Alzheimer’s disease in humans. Both conditions are associated with increased oxidative damage in the brain with age. Research has shown that Ashwagandha has antioxidant properties and can reduce free radical generation. It also modulates cholinergic transmission, potentially inhibiting acetylcholinesterase activity, which may benefit both CCD and Alzheimer's disease. Withaferin A, a component of Scitec Nutrition Ashwagandha, has been found to significantly inhibit amyloid β production and the gene expression of neuroinflammatory molecules related to NF-κB.

Ashwagandha and Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease involves the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal system, leading to an imbalance between dopamine's inhibitory effects and the excitatory actions of acetylcholine and glutamic acid. Contributing factors include genetic conditions, toxic factors, neuroinfections, oxidative stress, and reduced growth factors. The disease is slightly more prevalent in men, possibly due to the protective role of estrogen. In studies on rats with Parkinson’s disease induced by 6-hydroxydopamine, administration of Ashwagandha extract at various doses significantly reduced lipoperoxidation and increased activities of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase and superoxide dismutase. It also enhanced levels of catecholamines, dopamine D2 receptor binding, and tyrosine hydroxylase expression. In fruit fly studies, a standardized methanol extract of Ashwagandha countered Parkinson’s disease-related deficits. In mice, Ashwagandha improved biochemical parameters and reduced motor impairment. It increased levels of dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), and homovanillic acid, while normalizing lipoperoxidation markers in the striatum.

Ashwagandha and Huntington’s Disease

Huntington’s Disease is a genetic disorder with no cure, only symptomatic treatments available. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, resulting in a 50% chance of offspring inheriting the disease. A mutation in the IT15 gene leads to an accumulation of insoluble mutant huntingtin protein, causing neuronal apoptosis and imbalances in neurotransmitters such as dopamine, GABA, serotonin, and acetylcholine.The neurotoxin 3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NP) induces symptoms similar to Huntington’s Disease by inhibiting mitochondrial function and causing oxidative stress. Chronic administration of Ashwagandha extract has shown beneficial effects in animal models, including reduced lipoperoxidation, increased antioxidant enzyme levels, and restored ATP synthesis. Withaferin A, isolated from Ashwagandha, has also demonstrated significant benefits. It ameliorates impaired proteostasis, activates the heat shock response, and delays disease progression. Mice treated with withaferin A exhibited improved behavioral and motor functions, reduced body weight loss, and a significant reduction in mutant huntingtin aggregates and inflammation.

Overall, Ashwagandha shows promise in mitigating symptoms and potentially slowing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington’s Disease. However, further research is needed to fully understand its efficacy and safety.

Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic psychiatric condition characterized by intrusive, undesirable thoughts and compulsive behaviors. It can significantly impair daily functioning and psychosocial well-being. Both genetic and psychological factors contribute to OCD, with structural and functional abnormalities in the central nervous system also playing a key role. The disorder is often linked to dysregulation of the serotonergic system. Scitec Nutrition Ashwagandha may serve as a beneficial adjunct to SSRIs in treating OCD. Studies on mice with OCD-like behaviors have shown that administration of Ashwagandha extracts (both methanolic and aqueous) significantly improved behavioral deficits without affecting motor activity. These effects were comparable to those of standard treatments such as fluoxetine and ritanserin. In the context of Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS), Ashwagandha has demonstrated protective effects. Research in rats indicated that Ashwagandha alleviates withdrawal anxiety caused by chronic alcohol consumption, improving behavioral changes, anxiety, and seizures associated with alcohol withdrawal.

Anti-Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects

Scitec Nutrition Ashwagandha is being explored for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties in treating various diseases, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Preclinical studies have shown that Ashwagandha regulates mitochondrial function, apoptosis, and reduces inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory markers such as cytokines, nitric oxide, and reactive oxygen species. In a mouse model of lupus, Ashwagandha root powder demonstrated potential in reducing proteinuria and nephritis. It has also shown promise in rheumatoid diseases; oral administration of Ashwagandha root powder to rats before inflammation induction led to significant reductions in inflammation and changes in serum protein concentrations. Ashwagandha’s aqueous extract has been found to inhibit inflammatory pathways, including NF-κB and MAPK, and reduce the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines while increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines. These effects suggest its potential in preventing skin inflammation. Additionally, Ashwagandha has shown neuroinflammatory benefits by reducing reactive gliosis and levels of inflammatory cytokines in animal models of neuroinflammation. Immunomodulatory effects of Ashwagandha were confirmed in studies involving immunodeficient mice, where it increased white blood cell counts, circulating antibodies, and phagocytosis. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial also demonstrated that Ashwagandha significantly enhances natural killer cell activity and cytokine levels compared to placebo.

Antibacterial Properties

With the rise of drug-resistant bacterial strains, Scitec Nutrition Ashwagandha emerges as a valuable alternative in treating infections. It has shown effectiveness against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp., as well as Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Citrobacter freundii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The antimicrobial action of Ashwagandha is attributed to its immunomodulatory effects, cytotoxic properties, and gene-silencing abilities. This makes Scitec Nutrition Ashwagandha a promising addition to pharmacotherapy for bacterial infections, offering a safer alternative with minimal side effects.

Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties

Ashwagandha has demonstrated significant antibacterial properties, including effectiveness against Salmonella typhi, which causes salmonellosis. In animal studies, Ashwagandha significantly alleviates infection symptoms caused by this pathogen. Additionally, Ashwagandha has shown potential as an anti-caries agent. It slows the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, such as Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, and inhibits bacterial acid production, acid tolerance, and biofilm formation. The withanolides isolated from Ashwagandha also exhibit activity against Leishmania donovani, inducing cell death by activating apoptosis and disrupting mitochondrial membrane potential. Ashwagandha is effective against Candida albicans, though it appears less effective against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger. However, glycoproteins from Ashwagandha root tubers have shown antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium species, as well as antibacterial properties against Clavibacter michiganensis. Further studies have demonstrated that Ashwagandha enhances antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with the mechanism involving damage to bacterial cell membranes.

Support for Infertility Treatment

Infertility, defined by the World Health Organization as the inability to achieve pregnancy within one year despite regular, unprotected intercourse, affects millions globally and has significant social and emotional implications. Ashwagandha has shown promise in improving fertility. In men with oligospermia, supplementation with Ashwagandha led to increased sperm count, semen volume, and sperm motility. It also positively affected hormone levels, increasing testosterone and luteinizing hormone while reducing prolactin and follicle-stimulating hormone. Additionally, improvements in antioxidant enzymes and vitamins A, C, and E in semen plasma were noted, with no observed side effects. In men with normozoospermia, Ashwagandha supplementation improved semen parameters, including sperm count and morphology, which could enhance pregnancy chances. The treatment also reduced lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl groups, indicators of oxidative stress. In women, high-concentration Ashwagandha root extract has been shown to improve sexual function, with significant enhancements in sexual arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and overall sexual satisfaction compared to placebo.

Anticancer Effects

Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell division due to mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle. Despite extensive research, cancer remains a major health and social challenge. Compounds isolated from Ashwagandha, including those from the root, stem, and leaves, have shown promising anticancer properties. Withanolides, alkaloids found in Ashwagandha, play a crucial role in inducing apoptosis and are effective against various cancers, including breast, colon, lung, prostate, and blood cancers. Withaferin A, a compound derived from Ashwagandha, has been shown to treat melanoma by inducing apoptosis, reducing cell proliferation, and inhibiting melanoma cell migration. In glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), withaferin A significantly inhibited tumor growth, triggered apoptosis, and arrested GBM cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Studies have also explored the potential of combining Ashwagandha extract with intermittent fasting to enhance breast cancer treatment and reduce cisplatin-induced toxicity. Additionally, Ashwagandha extract has demonstrated protective effects against radiation-induced damage to the liver and spleen, suggesting its therapeutic potential in mitigating radiotherapy side effects.

Antidiabetic Activity

Ashwagandha has shown potential in managing diabetes. Preclinical studies indicate that it may lower blood glucose levels, with withaferin A showing efficacy in controlling type 1 diabetes in rats through modulation of Nrf2/NFκB signaling. Research has consistently shown improvements in the lipidemic profile with Ashwagandha supplementation, including reduced cholesterol levels and improved antioxidant status. Clinical trials have reported benefits in body weight, blood pressure, and lipid profile, although direct effects on blood sugar levels remain less clear.

Cardioprotective Properties

Ashwagandha has demonstrated cardioprotective effects in experimental models. In rats with induced myocardial necrosis, Ashwagandha treatment led to decreased oxidative stress and improved antioxidant enzyme levels. Similarly, in models of cardiac ischemia, Ashwagandha reduced heart damage and restored oxidative balance. Withaferin A, a component of Ashwagandha, has shown cardioprotective effects by upregulating mitochondrial anti-apoptotic pathways at low doses, though higher doses were not effective.

Treatment of Sleep Disorders

Ashwagandha is a potential alternative for treating sleep disorders, including insomnia. Clinical studies have shown that Ashwagandha improves sleep quality and reduces the time to fall asleep. It has been found effective in older adults, enhancing sleep quality and mental alertness. Animal studies have shown that specific extracts of Ashwagandha, such as those with high witanolide content, can induce non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Further research indicates that Ashwagandha can improve overall sleep quality, reduce stress, and enhance mood. Studies on individuals with non-restorative sleep (NRS) and sleep deprivation have also demonstrated improvements in sleep efficiency, duration, and overall well-being with Ashwagandha supplementation.

Anxiolytic and Anti-Stress Effects

Stress can exacerbate or cause various health issues. Ashwagandha has shown potential in managing stress and anxiety. In clinical studies, Ashwagandha supplementation has significantly reduced anxiety levels, as measured by scales such as the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale. It appears to lower morning cortisol and DHEA-S levels and improve mood and stress-related symptoms. Ashwagandha may work by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and reducing inflammatory and oxidative stress processes. Its anxiolytic effects are partly due to its impact on neurotransmitter levels, including GABA and dopamine. Ashwagandha has also been found to improve cognitive function, attention, and overall psychological well-being in various studies, with minimal side effects reported.

In summary, Scitec Nutrition Ashwagandha offers a range of potential benefits, from anticancer and cardioprotective effects to improvements in sleep and anxiety management. Further research will help clarify its full range of therapeutic applications and mechanisms.

10X Athletic Extreme Stim Pre Workout - 50 Servings

10X ATHLETIC EXTREME STIM PRE WORKOUT - 50 servingsOur most powerful PRE-WORKOUT to date. 10X Stim is not for the faint hearted. At 24g per scoop 10X Pump is jampacked with ingredients that are backed by good science to help you get the most out of your workout. Most Brands will start by telling you what is included in their pre-workouts but we’re going to be different and start by telling you what’s NOT included in 10X PUMP.UNCOMPROMISING QUALITYAt 10X Athletic we don’t use:Illegal & potentially unsafe stimulants. It’s just not how we roll. We pride ourselves on fuelling athletes of all abilities including Olympic and professional athletes. So, illegal or unsafe stimulants just don’t cut it with us.Banned ingredients on WADA list. Enough said.Proprietary blends. All our labels are fully transparent so you know exactly what you’re getting in every scoop. No nasties. No surprises.Bad Science. Specifically we avoid using ingredients with poor science to back up their efficacy. Plenty of pre-workouts are packed full of cheap ingredients or ingredients with little or no science to back up their claims. We don’t do that.TRUSTED BY ATHLETESSo what is included in 10X PUMP:8000mg Citrulline Malate 2:1 Looking for better performance, recovery, energy and more powerful pumps? Then citrulline is a ‘must’ in your pre-workout. Citrulline is a powerful (NO) Nitric Oxide boosting ingredient and has been found to be a more bioavailable and effective nutrient for boosting plasma levels of arginine than L-arginine supplementation alone. Before we go further let’s put the l-citrulline v citrulline malate debate to bed once and for all. There’s only one winner when you’re looking to maximize high intensity workouts and anaerobic performance. Unlike l-citrulline, studies have shown when subjects consumed 8000mg of citrulline malate they improved their performances during chest and leg resistance training exercises, increased repetitions & reduced their perceived exertion vs consuming a placebo. Additionally, subjects experienced as much as a 40% reduction in muscle soreness when compared to subjects that didn’t consume 8000mg of citrulline malate. Citrulline may also help your performance in the gym by reducing lactic acid accumulation in your muscles as it plays an important role in ammonia buffering.3200mg Beta Alanine Supplementing with Beta Alanine has been shown to elevate carnosine levels in skeletal muscle tissue by up to 80%. This improves a muscles capacity to buffer hydrogen ions and offsets “the burn” sensation one experiences during intense exercise. Beta Alanine is an incredibly well researched ingredient and studies have shown 3200mg of Beta Alanine supplementation can help reduce fatigue and significantly increase endurance. So what does all of this mean? Simply speaking supplementing with Beta alanine can yield higher repetitions and superior performance in the gym. You might be wondering if the goal is to elevate carnosine why not supplement directly with carnosine instead? Studies have shown that beta alanine supplementation is more effective at increasing carnosine levels than supplementing with carnosine alone. Beta alanine is more bioavailable than carnosine so is more effective at elevating carnosine levels in your muscles. If you’re not used to supplementing with beta alanine please be aware of the ‘tingling’ (paraesthesia) sensation. Start with a lower dose and build up your tolerance.3000mg Creatine Monohydrate Quite possibly the most thoroughly researched and effective ingredient in sports nutrition. Creatine monohydrate is not only heavily researched but it also has a ton of evidence to support its efficacy. Creatine is an osmolyte that improves cellular hydration and ATP regeneration in your muscle cells. During exercise ATP is broken down to produce energy. Creatine supplementation increases phosphocreatine stores which means there is more ATP energy to fuel muscles during high-intensity exercise. As well as helping your muscle cells produce more energy, studies have shown supplementing with creatine monohydrate may lead to an increase in strength, muscle mass, muscle endurance and help aid recovery amongst other benefits. Creatine monohydrate is the gold standard and is a must for any serious trainer. Creatine, like Beta Alaine is a saturation product and it doesn’t require a loading phase. However it is not uncommon for trainers to consume 3-5g of creatine pre and post workout.Caffeine Anhydrous 450mg Simply speaking caffeine is the king of (safe) stimulants and is the main energy boosting ingredient in most pre-workoouts. Research into the physiological effects of caffeine on physical and mental performance are very extensive. Caffeine levels in your body peak approx. 45-60 minutes after ingestion and can remain high for 3-4 hours before they begin to drop so it’s not advisable to take caffeinated pre-workouts late in the day. Caffeine antagonizes adenosine and GABA receptors (neurotransmitters that induce the feeling of tiredness and lethargy). By preventing the binding of these neurotransmitters to their partner receptors caffeine has been shown to increase mental energy, focus and motivation as well as enhancing the feeling of alertness and improve reaction times. A recent study found that 4.45mg/kg or approx. 400mg of caffeine increased endurance in athletes and help burn more calories. Studies have shown combining taurine with caffeine can have an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system and can increase the feeling of fatigue. Simply put, avoid combining caffeine and taurine in your pre-workouts.400mg Peak ATP Peak ATP is a patented form of Adenosine 5’-Triphosphate (ATP) Disodium. Peak ATP is identical in structure to the ATP produced and used in the human body. All living cells use ATP for energy. During exercise the demand for ATP increases massively and the rate of ATP turnover can limit high-intensity performance. In clinical studies Peak ATP has been shown to boost muscular power output, improve blood flow, increase number of repetitions performed, increase lean body mass and reduce fatigue versus placebo. Based on research the recommended dose of Peak ATP is 400mg, the exact amount in your 10X pre-workout. Ideally, it should be taken (in your pre-workout) 30-60 mins prior to exercise.2500mg Betaine Anhydrous Betaine is a heavily researched, safe and highly effective performance boosting supplement. Betaine is a natural osmolyte like creatine and promotes cell hydration. It also synergises with creatine to enhance the biosynthesis of creatine in the human body. As an osmolyte betaine enhances intracellular water which encourages muscle volumizing and muscle swelling. Research has shown that muscle swelling stimulates muscle protein synthesis and decreases protein breakdown, this ultimately leads to increased muscle size. Studies have shown 2500mg of Betaine supplementation may significantly increase anaerobic power, muscle protein synthesis and lean mass gains in athletes.1000mg L-Tyrosine Research has shown supplementing with tyrosine may increase levels of the neurotransmitters adrenaline, norepinephrine and dopamine. These are important brain chemicals which affect alertness, mood and your stress response. L-tyrosine is a dopamine precursor, a chemical that regulates the ‘reward and pleasure’ centres in your brain. Since reduced levels of dopamine decrease motivation and performance, increasing dopamine levels may have the effect of boosting brain function, mood and performance under certain conditions.1000mg Beet Root Extract Beetroot extract is another powerful (NO) Nitric Oxide boosting ingredient. The nitrates found in beetroot juice and supplements have been shown to increase Nitric Oxide secretion. Human studies suggest that boosting NO may improve muscle pumps and performance in high intensity interval training and prolonged aerobic training.700mg Electrolytes Electrolytes are minerals that get electrically charged when dissolved in liquid and are essential for many important body functions. Like many other compounds in the human body, electrolytes need to stay within a certain range for proper health and function. During intense exercise the body loses electrolytes and water through sweating. Depletion of electrolytes can lead to performance decline, fatigue, cramping and increase the risk of injury. So we added Potassium, Magnesium and Sodium to our pre-workout to replenish these vital minerals. These are 3 of the most common electrolytes that help support muscle contractions, nerve impulse conduction, regulate heart rate and fluid balance in the body amongst many other benefits. Research has shown supplementing with potassium and magnesium promotes vasodilation by increasing (NO) Nitric Oxide and prostacyclin leading to improved blood flow and lower blood pressure.B Vitamins inc 800ug Folic Acid Folic Acid is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin B9. It plays an important support role in the production of dopamine and nitric oxide. B3 (niacin) plays an important role in energy metabolism and cell health. B6 (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate) may improve mood, reduce symptoms of depression & improve brain health. Vitamin B12 (methylcobalatim) is an essential vitamin your body can’t produce. Supplementing with B12 may help support the normal function of nerve cells, energy production and even help to minimize risk for cardiovascular disease. B12 also serves as an important cofactor in the production of dopamine.20mg Bioperine and AstraGin Bioperine is a patented black pepper fruit extract used in pre-workout supplements to enhance nutrient uptake and absorption through its active component piperine. Piperine is also a high-level anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and a dopamine maximiser in the body (by stimulating the TRPV receptor in the brain). AstraGin is a patented, 100% plant-derived compound that also increases the absorption of many vital nutrients. Bioperine and AstraGin work synergistically to increase nutrient absorption and nutrient uptake, this can help you get more from your pre-workout.Supplement Facts:Serving Size: 1 or 2 Scoops (12g/24g)Servings Per Container: 50/25Amount Per 12g and 24g Serving:L-Citruline Malate 2:1 4000mg/ 8000mgBeta Alanine 1600mg/ 3200mgCreatine Monohybrate 1500mg/ 3000mgBetaine Anhydrous 1250mg/ 2500mgN-Acetyl L-Tyrosine 500mg/ 10000mgBeet Root Extract (Beta Vulgaris) 500mg/ 1000mgCaffeine Anhydrous 225mg/ 450mgPeak ATP (Adenosine 5'- Triphosphate Disodium) 200mg/ 400mgPotassium Citrate 250mg/ 500mgMagnesium Citrate 50mg/ 100mgSodium Chloride 50mg/ 100mgVitamin B3 (Niacin) 25mg/ 50mgVitamin B6 20mg/ 40mgVitamin B9 (Folic Acid) 400mcg/ 800mcgVitamin B12 50mcg/ 100mcgBioperine (Black Pepper Extract) 5mg/ 10mgAstragin 5mg/ 10mgIngredients:Maltodextrin, Silicon dioxide, Sucralose (Sweetener), Natural & Artificial Flavouring & Colouring.Recommended Use:Take 2 scoops of powder (FOR HIGH TOLERANCE INDIVIDUALS ONLY).

Research has shown supplementing with potassium and magnesium promotes vasodilation by increasing (NO) Nitric Oxide and prostacyclin leading to improved blood flow and lower blood pressure.B Vitamins inc 800ug Folic Acid Folic Acid is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin B9. It plays an important support role in the production of dopamine and nitric oxide. B3 (niacin) plays an important role in energy metabolism and cell health. B6 (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate) may improve mood, reduce symptoms of depression & improve brain health. Vitamin B12 (methylcobalatim) is an essential vitamin your body can’t produce. Supplementing with B12 may help support the normal function of nerve cells, energy production and even help to minimize risk for cardiovascular disease. B12 also serves as an important cofactor in the production of dopamine.20mg Bioperine and AstraGin Bioperine is a patented black pepper fruit extract used in pre-workout supplements to enhance nutrient uptake and absorption through its active component piperine. Piperine is also a high-level anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and a dopamine maximiser in the body (by stimulating the TRPV receptor in the brain). AstraGin is a patented, 100% plant-derived compound that also increases the absorption of many vital nutrients. Bioperine and AstraGin work synergistically to increase nutrient absorption and nutrient uptake, this can help you get more from your pre-workout.Supplement Facts:Serving Size: 1 or 2 Scoops (12g/24g)Servings Per Container: 50/25Amount Per 12g and 24g Serving:L-Citruline Malate 2:1 4000mg/ 8000mgBeta Alanine 1600mg/ 3200mgCreatine Monohybrate 1500mg/ 3000mgBetaine Anhydrous 1250mg/ 2500mgN-Acetyl L-Tyrosine 500mg/ 10000mgBeet Root Extract (Beta Vulgaris) 500mg/ 1000mgPeak ATP (Adenosine 5'- Triphosphate Disodium) 200mg/ 400mgPotassium Citrate 250mg/ 500mgMagnesium Citrate 50mg/ 100mgSodium Chloride 50mg/ 100mgVitamin B3 (Niacin) 25mg/ 50mgVitamin B6 20mg/ 40mgVitamin B9 (Folic Acid) 400mcg/ 800mcgVitamin B12 50mcg/ 100mcgBioperine (Black Pepper Extract) 5mg/ 10mgAstragin 5mg/ 10mgIngredients:Maltodextrin, Silicon dioxide, Sucralose (Sweetener), Natural & Artificial Flavouring & Colouring.Recommended Use:Take 2 scoops of powder (FOR HIGH TOLERANCE INDIVIDUALS ONLY).

5% Nutrition 5150 Legendary Series - 30 Servings

5% NUTRITION 5150 LEGENDARY SERIES - 30 servings The NEW! 5150 Legendary Series delivers a supercharged punch with over 400mg of Caffeine per serving, plus the revolutionary energy and nootropic Cocoabuterol®WELCOME TO 5150 LEGENDARY SERIES HIGH-STIM PRE-WORKOUTIf you’re a true master of the craft and lifting is your life then you already know 5% Nutrition is the only LIFESTYLE to GROW by. The very name of this product should be warning enough that you’re heading into deeper waters.What is the meaning of 5150?Rich Piana originally went with the name “5150” for this ultra-high stimulant pre-workout because he wanted to convey that this pre-workout was not for the ordinary, but for only the serious stim junkies among us. And while Rich wasn’t insinuating that taking a few scoops of 5150 pre-workout would result in a 72-hour “involuntary psychiatric hold”, he wanted to convey that this product meant business!Have you grown bored of other pre-workouts, having ‘tried them all’ before getting this point?Do the results you seek lay beyond the normal conditions of training?Do you need to focus and energize your workout while hydrating your muscles and keeping your body anabolic?If yes, then you may have met the qualifications to start training like a true 5%ER; to enter the territory where only a few thrive: mass monster territory. If you routinely seek the pain of a long training session and routinely need to be spotted by at least two smaller freaks of the gym, then we’d like to welcome you to 5150 Legendary Series High-Stim Pre-Workout.Stim-Crazy Caffeine Complex - 513 mgConsisting of Caffeine Anhydrous, Dicaffeine Malate, Theobromine, Green Tea, Yerba Mate Extract, Guarana Extract, Green Coffee Bean Extract, and Gotu Kola Extract. This is a precise combination of eight types of caffeine and sourced specifically to create a smooth, extended energy curve while effectively eliminating the jitters of caffeine and the “caffeine crash” that accompanies most highly caffeinated products.The new and improved 5150 Legendary Series, High-Stim Pre-Workout has arrived. This supercharged formula will have the stim-junkies lined up, again! With just a single scoop of 5150 over 400mg of total caffeine will begin to take hold and course through your veins. Prepare yourself for what’s next, blasting yourself into a gym session fueled by a blend of caffeine frp, 8 sources:COCOABUTEROL® Cocoa Alkaloid Extract (Theobroma caco L.)Cocoabuterol® is a new dietary weight loss supplement to activate thermogenic fat burning within the body while boosting your energy and mood. The natural alkaloids in Cocoabuterol® can significantly increase cAMP via beta-adrenoceptor which activate thermogenic fat burning and muscle building functions. This translates to fat burning PLUS support for the building of lean muscle tissue without the side effects.Compared with caffeine, Cocoabuterol® doesn’t have the edginess often associated with caffeine while it lasts longer and while similarly balancing the onramp and offramp of caffeine into your body, enhancing caffeine’s most desirable qualities. Because Cocoabuterol® acts to smooth out the caffeine curve, you’re unlikely to experience the shakes and jitteriness associated with excessive caffeine consumption.CAFFEINE ANHYDROUSCommonly used as a fast-acting energy source, Caffeine Anhydrous has been used in many of the best pre-workouts and energy-based products alike. This ingredient will assist with mental alertness as it stimulates the central nervous system, making your energy output much more enhanced in a short amount of time.DI-CAFFEINE MALATEWhat makes Di-Caffeine Malate so interesting is the time-released energy production that is so heavily influenced and reflected by this ingredient. Just like caffeine, this specific ingredient helps improve energy levels and mental focus. Best of all, Di-CM helps to improve endurance and stamina, giving you the energy to combat fatigue accrued during your workout.OTHER SOURCES OF CAFFEINECaffeine sourced from Green Tea leaves, Yerba Mate Extract, Guarana Seed Extract (Paullinia cupana), Rauvolfia Canescens (Alpha-Yohimbine), Green Coffee Bean Extract (Seed), and Gotu Kola Extract (Centella asiatica).L-CITRULLINECitrulline is a proven nitric oxide (NO) pump ingredient, delivering sleeve-stretching muscle pump and other great performance-enhancing benefits. Citrulline plays a role in ATP production when your muscles require additional energy. It also helps buffer the buildup of ammonia in muscle, which reduces exercise fatigue and increases workout endurance!Citrulline has an impact on both the phosphagen and glycolytic energy systems. It can modulate enzymes involved in glycogen breakdown, glycogenolysis, and enzymes that convert glucose to ATP (glycolysis). This action shifts muscle from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism and reduces the rate at which the body uses up ATP and phosphocreatine. This means more energy is available to the muscles for longer periods of time!HUPERZINE-AOnly the upper tier of pre-workouts and sports nutrition products will feature the nootropic alkaloid Huperzine-A to enhance cognitive function levels and neuroprotective properties. Huperzine A is an alkaloid purified from club moss (Huperzia serrata) and boosts focus while training.L-TAURINEThere’s a reason so many energy drinks feature Taurine, namely due to its ability to reduce the acute effect felt by both the jolt of caffeine entering the body and to mitigate the jitteriness. Many consumers of Taurine will agree that it increases the enjoyment of the effects of caffeine. Additionally, it's considered to be an “osmotic agent”, meaning that it draws water into cells. And when cells have a higher water content, they tend to produce more effects related to recovery and anabolism.Taurine is often included with fat-burning supplements because it can help reduce the side effects of muscle cramping.N-ACETYL L-TYROSINEN-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (NALT) is an acetylated derivative of the nonessential amino acid, L-Tyrosine, that is used in the process of protein synthesis. Tyrosine is also a precursor of several chemicals and neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine.NALT may also assist in exercise recovery and may help with maintaining healthy weight in already healthy individuals when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise.* NACT may help in maintaining a healthy mood, contribute to a calm feeling of overall well-being in already healthy individuals, and aid cognition.*CHOLINE BITARTRATECholine is a molecule mostly used for either its nootropic or cognitive boosting properties (turning into acetylcholine, the learning neurotransmitter) or as a liver health agent, able to reduce fatty liver buildup. Choline is an essential nutrient that is the building block for phosphatidylcholine cellular membranes and the precursor to acetylcholine, which is an important neurotransmitter involved in memory, muscle control, metabolism and transport of lipids.Supplement Facts for 5% Nutrition 5150 Legendary Series:Serving Size: 1 Scoop (12.4g)Servings Per Container: 30Amount Per Serving 5% Nutrition 5150 Legendary Series:Vitamin B-3 (as niacin) 30mgVitamin B-12 (as cyanocobalamin) 1,000mcgCholine (as choline bitartrate) 195mgL-Citrulline 4,000mgBeta Alanine 2,500mgL-Taurine 2,000mgN-Acetyl L-Tyrosine 750mgCholine Bitartrate 500mgStim-Crazy Caffeine ComplexCaffeine Anhydrous 350mgCocoa Alkaloids Extract (Theobroma cacao L.)(seed) 75mgDicaffeine Malate (Infinergy™) 50mgGreen Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis)(leaf)(50% Caffeine) 20mgYerba Mate Extract (Ilex paraguariensis)(leaf) 20mgGuarana Seed Extract (Paullinia cupana) 10mgGreen Coffee Extract (Coffea robusta)(bean) 10mgOther Ingredients in 5% Nutrition 5150 Legendary Series:Green Apple: Natural Green Apple Flavours, Citric Acid (Additive), Silicon Dioxide (Flow Agent), Sucralose (Sweetener), Tartrazine [E 102](Colour), Brilliant Blue [E 133]Recommended Use for 5% Nutrition 5150 Legendary Series:Mix one scoop with 180-250 ml of water and consume on an empty stomach 30 minutes before training.

5% Nutrition Crea-Ten - 25 Servings

5% NUTRITION CREA-TEN - 25 servings ✔ 10 forms of creatine for maximum results ✔ Uses a delivery system to drive increased creatine uptake without the need for carbs ✔ Increased strength and power ✔ Increases muscle size ✔ Thousands of studies validate creatine's performance benefits ✔ Crea-Ten can even enhance cognitive performance ✔ Works best with other 5% Nutrition supplements Creatine is among one of the most researched supplements on the market. Its benefits with respect to increasing muscle strength and size are undeniable. However, the amount of different types of creatine is sometimes overwhelming and instead of providing a wider choice, it provides more confusion and makes it difficult for many to know which one is most suitable for them. Ten Types of Creatine in One Product That is exactly what 5% Nutrition Crea-Ten is. While the jury is out on whether this is any better than picking a single creatine source, it is in keeping with the ethos of Rich Piana's 5% Nutrition line to only introduce products with a distinctive makeup and Crea-Ten is certainly that. Creatine's benefits for athletes has been covered before but in short it is a performance enhancer for high intensity activities which typically is worth an extra couple of reps on a weight which you might typically only get 8 reps out on otherwise. Creatine Synergists for Better Results 5% Nutrition Crea-Ten, like any other creatine product needs to be used for a couple of weeks before noticeable effects can be felt but Crea-Ten adds various synergists such as fenugreek which we covered in an article previously which help improve creatine uptake into the muscle but without the need for carbohydrates. It accomplishes this by using a class of supplements called glucose disposal agents which enables your body to transport nutrients more effectively into the muscle. Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 1 Scoop (7.7g) Servings Per Container: 25 Amount Per Serving: Chromium (as Chromium Nicotinate Chelate) 120mcg Creatine Blend 5,000mg - Creatine Anhydrous, Tri-Creatine Malate, Creatine Monohydrate, Tri-Creatine Citrate, Creatine Citrate, Creatine Pyruvate, Creatine Ethyl Ester Hydrochloride, Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Creatine Gluconate, Creatine Phosphate Creatine Accelerate Blend 1,580mg - L-Taurine, Betaine Anhydrous, Gymnema Sylvestre Extract (Leaf), Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa)(Leaf), Fenugreek Seed Extract, BioPerine® (Black Pepper)( Fruit Extract) Other Ingredients:Blue Raspberry: Glucose Polymers, Silicon Dioxide, Citric Acid, Natural & Artificial Flavours, Sucralose, Acesulfame K, FD&C Blue No.1.

5% Nutrition Full As F*CK Legendary Series - 25 Servings

5% NUTRITION FULL AS F*CK LEGENDARY SERIES - 25 servings Nitric Oxide Booster for Pumps that are FULL as F*ck!* There’s nothing more satisfying than getting an extreme pump. Your working muscles feeling like they’re about to explode, not to mention, looking absolutely huge. There’s no doubt that a great pump can transform your physique right before your eyes. A pump like this forces your muscles to look FULL AS F*CK. Yet there’s more than just a visual benefit to getting a great pump. That’s because the increased blood flow carries critical oxygen and nutrients to your working muscles. This improves endurance so you can get your best work out, every time. Of course, most bodybuilders want the most extreme pump they can get. They’ll search the market for the best pump-enhancing supplement they can find. If you're looking for the ultimate pump, FULL AS F*CK is the pump pre-workout you want. Why? FULL AS F*CK gives you a fully disclosed formula. There’s no prop blends here. Not to mention, it’s seriously dosed. Underdosing? That’s for companies that can’t compare to 5% Nutrition! This powerful formula contains over-dosed nitric oxide boosters and cell volumizers. It’s designed to jack up nitric oxide production and pull water into your muscles. No to mention, FULL AS F*CK is now better than ever! You know Rich’s unrelenting pursuit of perfection? Well, 5% Nutrition is the same way. FULL AS F*CK was always great - but now it’s even better! Check out the ingredients, and get ready for the best pumps of your life! L-Citrulline - 5g We’re talking about pure L-Citrulline. Many of those other pump formulas combine Citrulline with Malic Acid. Plus, they’re underdosing it in the first place. It’s important to get the full dose of this powerful pump ingredient. You see, Citrulline converts to Arginine in the liver. From there, it will promote longer-lasting, more intense pumps than Arginine itself. FULL AS F*CK contains 100% pure L-Citrulline in an effective 5 gram dose. L-Taurine - 2g You will find Taurine in quite a few supplements. It’s almost always in pre-workouts and energy drinks. Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid. It’s found primarily in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles of the body. It decreases the nerve impulses in the brain that increase blood pressure. What's this mean for the pump? It lowers resistance to blood flow. Better blood flow means better pumps. Also, Taurine increases muscle cell volume by pulling water into the muscles. GlycerSize™ (65% Glycerol Powder) – 2g Like Taurine, GlycerSize Glycerol increases muscle cell volume. It does this by pulling water into the muscles. This means extreme muscle fullness, or water-based pumps. Also, GlycerSize improves hydration. This in turn increases endurance. Nitrosigine™ - 500mg This is a patented complex that’s made up of bonded arginine and silicon. This ingredient has a couple of impressive benefits. First, it extends the pump for 6 hours. Now that's a long lasting pump! In addition, it works within 30 minutes of taking the very first dose. Beet (Root) - 500mg Beet is currently a very popular compound. Studies suggest it increases blood flow. This is because it contains high levels of nitrates. Also, Beet elevates exercise performance and reduces fatigue. Dan-Shen Extract - 100mg This is also known as Red Sage. It’s a powerful herbal extract that has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Dan Shen has also been shown to dramatically increase blood flow. Of course, this means a better pump and better nutrient delivery. S7™ - 50mg S7 is a patented blend consisting of 7 herbal ingredients. Also, a high dose is not required. S7 consists of: green coffee bean extract, green tea extract, turmeric, tart cherry, blueberry, broccoli, and kale. S7 is effective at helping the body increase its own production of nitric oxide. BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract - 5mg BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract improves the absorption of the nutrients it is combined with. Improved absorption means improved benefits. ✓ Legendary Edition ✓ Massive pump ✓ More power ✓ Increased blood flow ✓ Promote vascularity for extreme veins Supplement Facts for 5% Nutrition Full As F*ck Legendary Series: Serving Size: 1 Scoop (14g) Servings Per Container: 25 Amount Per Serving 5% Nutrition Full As F*ck Legendary Series: Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate) 250mg 278% Niacin (as vitamin B3) 30mg NE 188% Phosphorus (as dipotassium phosphate) 30mg 5% Magnesium (as magnesium citrate, magnesium glycerophosphate) 15mg 4% Sodium (as sodium glycerophosphate) 1mg <1% Potassium (as dipotassium phosphate, potassium citrate, inositol-stabilized arginine silicate, potassium glycerophosphate) 230mg 5% L-citrulline 5000mg L-taurine 2000mg GlycerSize- (65% glycerin powder) 2000mg Nitrosigine® (inositol-stabilized arginine silicate) 500mg Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) (root) 500mg Dan Shen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) (root) extract 100mg S7 50mg [Green coffee (Coffea arabica) (bean) extract, green tea (Camellia sinensis) (leaf) extract, turmeric (Curcuma longa L.)

5% Nutrition Liver And Organ Defender - 270 Caps

5% NUTRITION LIVER AND ORGAN DEFENDER - 270 caps When it comes to your liver and other vital organs you need a supplement that you can really depend on. That is why we dosed this product so generously. Look at these dosages and do your research! What you will find is exactly what you need!! We know how important it is for you to feel safe and supported when it comes to something this important. This product supports the major organs that bodybuilders are most concerned about; liver, heart, kidneys, prostate, and your skin. Liver and Organ Defender is truly an elite level on-cycle, post cycle, and everyday support supplement. Liver Support This is probably the most well known and most widely relied on ingredient among bodybuilders and those seeking liver support. For over 2,000 years, Milk Thistle as been used as a natural treatment for liver disorders and vital liver function protection. NAC is one of the most powerful liver support ingredients available on the market. Bodybuilders take a lot stress against their liver; more than the average person. Think of all the protein they eat, all the supplements they take - all being strained and filtered by the liver. Alcohol and other external contaminants are very hard on the liver. N-Acetyl Cysteine is used to quickly restore protective levels of glutathione levels, one of the body’s most powerful antioxidant defenses. NAC makes liver cells more able to protect themselves from ongoing damage. A healthy liver is critical for the longevity of your bodybuilding lifestyle. This is a very sought after powerful ingredient for those with Hepatitis, a viral infection of the liver. L-Glutathione is the body’s major antioxidant that protects cells, tissue, and organs from free radicals and diseases. It is a strong immune system strengthener than helps detoxify and protect the liver. Heart Support This plant is used to relax and widen blood vessels in the body, which in turn can lower blood pressure. Hawthorne Berry has been used to treat heart disease as far back as the early 1800s. High blood pressure can be triggered by several factors including rapid weight gain from certain supplements. This vitamin-like compound is widely used for reduction of blood pressure and insulin resistance. It is a very popular supplement among bodybuilders for a vast array of benefits specifically for fitness enthusiasts. Garlic has been associated with lowering blood pressure in patients with untreated hypertension, and in some reports the anti-hypertensive effect of garlic was similar to the same effect of anti-hypertensive drugs. Garlic has been shown to lower blood pressure, increase blood flow, and lower LDL cholesterol. Hypertension and high blood pressure can be major risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Studies show that magnesium supplementation lowers both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Magnesium is also associated with lowering the risk of diabetes. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a substance that’s found naturally in the body that helps to convert food into energy. CoQ10 is found in almost every cell in the body, and it is a powerful antioxidant that has been demonstrated to lower blood pressure. Research has found that CoQ10 has the potential to lower systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure without significant side effects. Prostate The number one ingredient among bodybuilders for prostate health is definitely Saw Palmetto. External sources can sometimes cause the possibility of an enlarged prostate. A large analysis of multiple studies showed that Saw Palmetto produced positive benefits similar to Finasteride, a drug used to alleviate enlarged prostate. Other studies have shown that it can also be used for baldness, and urinary problems. Kidney Support Cordyceps Sinensis – (500 mgs) Natural cordyceps helps promote protein synthesis and ease symptoms of kidney failure. It can also be used to improve blood flow to the kidneys and improve overall renal (kidney) function. Patients on dialysis take Cordyceps to relieve the side effects of dialysis. Skin Support DHT is one of the androgens that can contribute to the hormonal cause of acne. Bodybuilders typically try to avoid DHT in general for a number of reasons. The effects of DHT on skin lead to whiteheads and blackheads, and inflammation which can lead to pimples and cysts. Zinc reduces the amount of DHT your body produces and prevents a major cause of breakouts on your skin. This rare, but essential mineral has so many health benefits, but the most important benefit of selenium are its acne treatment benefits. Selenium can improve the elasticity of skin, reduce acne scars, and prevents the development of inflammatory acnes lesions (pimples) from toxins. Supplement Facts for 5% Nutrition Liver And Organ Defender: Serving Size: 9 Capsules Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving 5% Nutrition Liver And Organ Defender: Vitamin D 800IU Vitamin B6 30mg Magnesium 50mg Zinc 30mg Selenium 70mcg Liver Support N-Acetyl Cystine 1,000mg Milk Thistle Powder 600mg L-Glutathione 30mg Heart Support Hawthorn Berry Powder 1,100mg Alpha-Lipoic Acid 400mg Garlic Extract 300mg Dimagesnium Malate 250mg Ubidecarenone 25mg Prostate Support Saw Palmetto Powder (Berries) 1,000mg Kidney Support Cordyceps Sinensis 500mg Skin Support Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate 300mg Selenium Glycinate Chelate 7,000mcg Other ingredients in 5% Nutrition Liver And Organ Defender: Gelatin, Plant Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, and Silicon Dioxide.

ActivLab BCAA Xtra - 500 g

ACTIVLAB BCAA XTRA - 500g BCAA Xtra is a maximum strength formula designed to provide a 8,500 mg complex of the pure free form amino acids L-Valine, L-Leuceine, L-Isoleucine and L-Glutamine in every serving. These three protein-sparing amino acids are known as the branched chain. The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) got their name because of their unique branched chemical structure. All Branched Chain Amino Acids are essential amino acids, defined as, the body cannot make them from other compounds, they must be consumed in the diet. it is a well known fact that amino acids are responsible for protein synthesis, hence the nickname "building blocks." In recent times, these BCAA's have been investigated for their potential anitcatabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and anabolic (muscle building) effects. Investigative studies have show BCAA's are an important component for effective muscle growth, muscle energy and recuperation. A composition of high quality Branched Chain Amino Acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) in proportion of 2:1:1, enriched with L-Glutamine. The product is designed especially for active people and sportsmen. L-Glutamine, the free form amino acid, is the single most abundant amino acid present in skeletal muscle. L-Glutamine may support muscle tissue by limiting the degradation of protein through nitrogen retention, glycogen synthesis, and protein synthesis. L-Glutamine may also assist in the fueling and removal of environmental toxins. Thus, L-Glutamine has been dubbed "the thinker´s amino". L-Glutamine´s muscle and brain tissue supporting qualities have made L-Glutamine an invaluable addition to an athlete´s regimen. Because L-Glutamine is non-toxic, you can safely take it year-round without needing to cycle it. L-Glutamine is a fundamental bodybuilders´ supplement. Don´t be without it! Laboratory Tested for quality and purity.
