Ingredients & Sources

L-Citrulline

Overview:

L-citrulline is a naturally occuring amino acid found in certain foods such as watermelon. In fact, it's name in latin, "Citrullus vulgaris" means watermelon!

Key Roles / Benefits

  1. Nitric Oxide Production:
    L-citrulline is converted in the body to another amino acid, L-arginine, which is then converted into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps to relax and dialate the blood vessels (vasodilation), improving blood flow.
  2. Counteract Caffeine:
    Caffeine causes what is known as "Vasoconstriction" of the blood vessels, the exact opposite effect observed by L-citrulline. Drinking caffeine narrows the blood vessels and requires the heart to work harder to deliver a sustainable amount of oxygen and nutrients. L-citruline helps reopen these blood vessels restoring the flow of these essential resources.
  3. Performance + Recovery:
    By increasing nitric oxide production, L-citrulline can enhance oxygen delivery and nutrient transport to muscles and organs. This aids in reducing muscle muscle fatigue and significantly improving recovery. Enhancement in both aerobic and anaerobic performance has been found. Most of these effects take at least a few weeks of consistent supplementation to kick in and can be enhanced by other ingredients and factors.
  4. Overall Cardiovascular Health + Erectile Dysfunction
    Improved blood flow due to widening of the blood vessels can help lower blood pressure and support overall heart health. Many struggling with erectile dysfunction have found that the enhanced blood flow from this natural ingredient has shown improvement in their symptoms.
  5. Hair Growth:
    Certain cells in hair follicles make a special protein stored in the trichohyalin granules. This protein is rich in arginine and changes to citrulline in some parts. The exact role of citrulline in these proteins during hair growth is unknown but its formation is a big part of the process.

Agmatine Sulfate

Overview:

A compound derived from the amino acid L-arginine. It is found naturally in the body as well as in certain foods such as fish, eggs, and fruits.

Key Roles / Benefits

  1. Neuroprotection:
    Agmatine interacts with various neurotransmitter systems. It has been shown to protect neurons against various types of damage, including oxidative stress and excitotoxicity, which can be beneficial in neurodegenerative conditions.
  2. Mood and Cognitive Enhancement:
    Agmatine Sulfate has shown natural antidepressant properties. It may help alleviate symptoms of depression by modulating key neurotransmitters and receptors within the brain. Some reports also detail its ability to support cognitive function and memory.

Glycerol Monostearate

Overview:

- Glycerol Monostearate (GMS), is a compound derived from Glycerol and Stearic acid, which is used to retain moisture. It is found in various baked goods and universally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Key Roles / Benefits

  1. Enhanced Hydration:
    GMS is often used in sports supplements to improve hydration. When ingested, GMS can increase the water content within the muscle, preventing cramps, and ensuring efficient muscle function during exercise.
  2. Improved Performance + Endurance:
    By drawing more water into muscle cells, GMS can enhance the "pump" effect during workouts, making muscles appear fuller and more vascular. In addition, the increased hydration contributes to enhanced endurance and stamina allowing athletes to train longer, with greater intensity.

L-Tyrosine

Overview:

L-tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid, which means it is synthesized in the body from another amino acid called phenylalanine. It plays a critical role in the production of several important substances in the body, including neurotransmitters and hormones. It is found in various foods such as avocado, cheese, and yogurt.

Key Roles / Benefits

  1. Cognitive Enhancement:
    L-tyrosine has been shown to improve cognitive performance under stressful conditions, such as during intense physical activity or prolonged periods of work. Results include increased mental clarity and focus.
  2. Stress Management:
    By supporting the production of stress related neurotransmitters, L-tyrosine improves resilience to stress and reduces the negative impacts of stress on mental and physical performance.
  3. Neurotransmitter Production:
    L-tyrosine is a precursor to dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in mood regulation, motivation, and reward mechanisms in the brain. It is also a precursor to the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) which are essential for regulating metabolism.
  4. Exercise Performance:
    L-tyrosine may enhance physical performance by reducing the perception of fatigue during prolonged or intense exercise. This can help athletes train harder and recover quickly.

Xylitol

Overview:

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sugar substitute. It naturally occurs in small amounts in various foods such as strawberries and plums. It is known for its sweet taste, similar to that of sugar, despite having fewer calories and being lower on the glycemic index. It has become extremely popular due to its dental and health benefits.

Key Roles / Benefits

  1. Dental Health+Remineralization:
    Xylitol has been shown to inhibit the growth of cavity causing bacterias in the mouth, such as streptococcus mutans. This helps reduce plaque and lowers the risk of tooth decay. Not only will it help prevent it but it has been shown to repair minor damage and strengthen teeth through remineralization of the enamel.
  2. Low Glycemic Index:
    Having a low glycemic index is critical in a time where everything you eat is just the opposite. This means Xylitol has a low impact on blood sugar making it perfect for those looking to manage their blood sugar levels.
  3. Digestive Tolerance:
    While consumption of most sugar alcohols can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, xylitol is generally well tolerated by most people when consumed in moderate amounts. It is less likely to cause digestive issues compared to other sugar alcohols like sorbitol or maltitol.

Tapioca Syrup

Overview:

Tapioca syrup is a sweetner derived from the cassava root AKA tapioca. It is made through a process of extracting the starch of the cassava root, which is then hydrolyzed into a syrup form. Tapioca syrup is used as a natural sweetener and as an alternative to other liquid sweeteners such as corn syrup or sugar cane syrup.

Key Roles / Benefits

  1. Low Glycemic Index:
    Tapioca syrup typically has a lower glycemic index compared to other sweeteners like sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. This means it has less impact on blood sugar levels.
  2. Natural Alternative:
    Many foods we eat today are filled with high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient that has been linked to various health concerns. We opted for a natural and less processed alternative, to deliver the best quality product.
