Ingredient Overview
L-Citrulline
L-Citrulline is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that the body readily absorbs and stores in the kidneys to assist with hemodynamics and nitrogen balance. Supplementing with L-citrulline has been shown to significantly increase oxygen uptake, improve vascular function, and promote a positive nitrogen balance during intense exercise, all of which are conducive to athletic performance, recovery, strength, and muscle fullness [1].
NO3-T Arginine Nitrate
NO3-T provides arginine-bonded nitrate that serves a dual function as a nitrate donor and substrate for nitric oxide synthase. Ingested nitrate provides a complementary mechanism to form nitric oxide when the L-arginine → L-citrulline pathway is suppressed [2]. Thus, a balance of arginine and nitrate ensures stable, lasting nitric oxide production.
BetaPure Betaine Anhydrous
Betaine anhydrous is an osmolyte and regulator of homocysteine metabolism. Thus, supplementing with betaine may confer cardiovascular and ergogenic benefits. Several human studies have shown that betaine supplementation can significantly increase strength and endurance and reduce fatigue from exhaustive resistance training [3, 4].
Setria L-Glutathione (Reduced)
L-Glutathione is the body’s primary endogenous antioxidant. Hence, it has ubiquitous roles in human physiology by sequestering and eliminating oxidative molecules. Setria is a reduced form of L-glutathione that works to augment nitric oxide production and attenuate oxidative stress, thereby encouraging healthy blood flow and vascular function [5]
BioFolate
BioFolate is a patented form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF), the bioactive form of vitamin B9 (folate). This B vitamin has been shown to improve the coupling of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) so more arginine gets converted to nitric oxide [6]. As such, BioFolate augments the vasodilating effects of L-citrulline and arginine nitrate.
Vitamin C
As a crucial water-soluble antioxidant, vitamin C plays many important roles throughout the immune, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. Recent studies have also shown that the antioxidant and acid-forming properties of vitamin C promote the gastrointestinal absorption of nitrates and conversion of nitrite to nitric oxide, making it synergistic with NO3-T [7, 8].
L-Tyrosine
Tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid and precursor of dopamine, an integral neurotransmitter in reward-motivated behavior. Supplementing with tyrosine is suggested to provide cognitive benefits and improve mood without stimulating the central nervous system [9].
AstraGin
This trademarked adaptogenic extract is comprised of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus which are suggested to help the body absorb other bioactive nutrients by selectively enhancing gastrointestinal permeability and modulating gut microbiota [10, 11, 12].
