Citrulline Malate: L-Citrulline is used as a sports performance and cardiovascular health supplement. L-Citrulline supplementation results in reduced fatigue and improved endurance for both aerobic and anaerobic prolonged exercise.
L-Tyrosine: L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that is used to produce noradrenaline and dopamine; supplemental appears to be anti-stress for acute stressors (which tend to deplete noradrenaline) and may preserve stress-induced memory deficits.
Caffeine Anhydrous: Caffeine is a powerful stimulant, and it can be used to improve physical strength and endurance. DetonationX is a HIGH stimulant pre-workout with a huge 320mg serving of caffeine. Caffeine stimulates the release of both Adrenaline and Noradrenaline, which have been proven to improve mental focus and provide an increase in anaerobic and aerobic performance when consumed prior to exercise.
Beta-Alanine: Beta-alanine is the building block of carnosine, proven to be the most effective molecule responsible for the buffering of lactic acid in muscles, increasing peak physical performance and reducing down-time between sets. Beta-alanine can aid lean-mass gain and appears to be an antioxidant and anti-aging compound.
L-Theanine: The properties of L-Theanine can be summed up as being a relaxing agent without sedation and can also help to reduce the perception of stress and improve attention/focus. While L-Theanine does not induce sleep, it may have benefits associated with a better night’s rest. The relaxing and focus promoting properties of L-Theanine coupled with the lack of sedation make L-Theanine an incredible supplement when it comes to reducing the 'edge' associated with many stimulants. A combination of L-Theanine with caffeine (200mg each) is noted to be synergistic in promoting cognition and attention.
Hordenine: Hordenine is a stimulant derived from L-Tyrosine and has been shown to have adrenergic stimulant benefits as well as being a neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor. This means it will prevent the speed of uptake on things such as adrenaline and dopamine.
Hordenine can also help to prolong positive mood benefits associated with the supplementation of other nootropics.
L-Norvaline: L-Norvaline is a form of the more commonly known BCAA, valine, commonly used and known for its Muscle Growth benefits. However, though similar to Valine, Norvaline plays a unique role in pre-workouts and the production and functionality of Nitric Oxide (N.O). Many pre-workouts use vaso-dilators like arginine to produce N.O, which is ideal for producing ‘the pump’, or the flood of additional oxygen and nutrient filled blood to the trained muscle groups during a workout. Studies show that L-Norvaline can Increase blood flow or ‘Pumps’ by up to 60%!
Unfortunately, the body produces the enzyme arginase that cuts off the N.O production boost, which is why L-Norvaline is such an incredible amino acid. L-Norvaline inhibits arginase production and re-enforces the release of Nitric Oxide and its many benefits.
Pterostilbene: Pterostilbene is known for its ability to improve cognitive function, it is an antioxidant and one of the bioactive components of blueberries. It also has shown to help with reducing cholesterol and glucose. The reduction in blood glucose and improvement in insulin sensitivity is quite potent. Improved insulin sensitivity can be extremely beneficial for both fat loss and muscle gain, resulting in a more tight, toned physique.
Bioperine: Black Pepper Extract is a source of piperine, a molecule that can inhibit enzymes that would otherwise attack other molecules. Due to this, it is ingested alongside a range of supplements to help increase their absorption rates and effectiveness.
Synephrine: Synephrine helps to increase metabolic rate, increase caloric expenditure and elevate energy levels throughout the day. In particular, Synephrine is a beta-agonist similar to Ephedrine and acts to increase metabolic rate via increasing lipolysis and BMR (basal metabolic rate).
Combined with a sensible diet and workout regime, Synephrine will help elevate your energy and mental focus, and increase your ability to burn calories throughout the day.
Other Ingredients Include: Cocoa Extract, Vitamin B12 & Vitamin C.
