Coconut Oil
Prized for its rich, natural source of medium chain triglycerides
(MCTs), coconut oil is a raw healthy fat, which does not require
digestion prior to its energy-boosting effect. Coconut oil goes
straight to the liver to provide near-instant fuel and helps the body
access and burn body fat as fuel to improve body composition.
Kombucha
A popular health elixir in Asia, kombucha is a fermented tea, rich
in organic acids, active enzymes, amino acids,and antioxidants. It acts
as a natural muscle relaxant, helping muscles move with greater
fluidity and ease, resulting in less energy expenditure and ultimately
enhanced endurance. Kombucha culture is also a liver detoxifier which
helps speed up recovery following a workout.
Yerba Mate
Yerba mate is rich in antioxidants, chlorophyll and
trace minerals. It aids in digestion and boosts mental and physical
performance through mild stimulation of the adrenal glands. Increased
mental focus is a significant benefit to the athlete as it improves the
ability to get into the zone and perform without distraction. Unlike
coffee, yerba mate will not cause jitters nor dehydration.
Green Tea
Rich in cell-protecting polyphenols, green tea is packed with
powerful antioxidants which improve immune system function. Green tea
also provides a natural source of caffeine which lightly stimulates the
adrenal glands, heightens mental focus and readies the body for peak
performance. Green tea has also been shown to assist fat metabolization
which can reduce body fat over time.
Rhodiola Extract (3% rosavin)
Rhodiola is proven to improve mood, physical and mental performance. It
helps dilate blood vessels, thereby increasing blood flow capacity
throughout the body and reducing energy requirements placed on the
cardiovascular system. Taking rhodiola before a workout can also
enhance recovery by normalizing heart rate and improving protein
synthesis post-workout.
Panax Ginseng Extract (4% ginsenosides)
A powerful adaptogen, ginseng strengthens the immune system and helps
reduce stress and cortisol levels. Taking ginseng pre-workout will
allow the body to be physically pushed further while delaying the onset
of muscle fatigue. It also boosts energy and improves adrenal function
without stimulation to reduce recovery time.
Devil's Claw Extract (6:1)
Devil's claw helps prevent inflammation and promotes joint vitality
and fluid muscle contractions. A proven and safe alternative to
synthetic analgesics, devils claw has also been shown to temporarily
reduce the effectiveness of pain receptors, thereby allowing the
athlete to push harder during physical activity to achieve a higher
level of performance.
Turmeric Extract (95% curcuminoids)
Turmeric increases circulation, enhancing delivery of blood
and oxygen to working muscles. It is also effective at reducing inflammation to enhance recovery post-workout.
Ginger Extract (5% gingerols)
Ginger reduces inflammation, improves digestion, and has blood thinning
properties. Since one marker of improved fitness is an increase in red
blood cells, (which causes the blood to become thicker), ginger can
also help promote ideal blood viscosity.
Sodium & Potassium Citrate
Sodium and potassium are electrolytes which play a vital role in
optimal hydration. Since sweat is comprised of water and electrolytes,
water alone will not fully maintain or restore fluid levels lost
through sweating. The correct balance of electrolytes and fluid will
enhance muscle function, heart efficacy, and mental sharpness and help
prevent muscle cramps.
Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Brown Rice Syrup
Sprouted whole grain brown rice syrup undergoes a proprietary
germination process which converts the starch component in rice to an
easily-assimilated form of fuel that enters the bloodstream quickly
while requiring significantly less digestive energy. With a high
glycemic index (80), sprouted whole grain brown rice syrup provides
immediate fuel to the brain and working muscles.
Organic Palm Nectar
Organic palm nectar comes from the blossoms of the tropical coconut
palm. It provides a clean-burning fuel that is easily absorbed and
utilized by the muscles and is a prime energy source for optimal brain
function. Entering the bloodstream at a slow and steady rate, it
provides
sustaining energy. Palm nectar solids have a very low glycemic index
(35) and will not cause an insulin spike or crash.
