When you’re ready to take your training to the next level, you need to take your supplement game with you.
Introducing the PRO line, including THE Pre-Workout – designed to elevate your game and give you the advantages you need to crush your workout. These high quality, innovative ingredients can be the difference maker you’ve been looking for. Read on to learn why THE Pre-Workout stands out from all others.
Pre-Workouts serve several purposes – they can get your prepared physically and mentally for your workout with a boost of both physical energy and mental focus, priming your body for success. Three innovative ingredients in THE Pre-Workout set it apart, here’s what they are.
VASO6
Derived from green tea extract, which has been shown to have both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies support that green tea extract taken before a workout can improve reaction speed and aerobic capacity.1
Packed with catechins, which are powerful plant compounds called polyphenols, VASO6 can help boost metabolism, endurance, and VO2 max in elite athletes.2 Additional polyphenols in green tea support brain health and fat burning.3
Alpha-GPC
Alpha-glyceryl phosphoryl choline is a compound found in the brain that helps to improve neuromuscular contraction (your brain communicating with your muscles) and muscle contraction.4 Research supports that explosive movements and force production can be increased with excess available choline; which means that ALPHA-GPC has the potential to boost your power and strength during workouts.5
Huperzine A
Huperzine A comes from Huperzia serrata, a traditional Chinese herb, native to India and Southeast Asia. Researchers have found that Huperzine A has a strong neuroprotective effect that can support focus and memory.6 When you’re able to maintain a strong focus and concentration during exercise, it may help to boost your performance.7 A solid focus and ability to concentrate may help overcome mental barriers to pushing past your limits.
