Ingredients for Athletic Performance

Creatine is your muscles’ quick-charge battery. It tops up phosphocreatine in muscle and brain so you can push harder in short, intense efforts and recover faster between bursts. Think of it as adding extra “turbo” fuel for strength, power, and—under some conditions—mental performance.

• Increase strength and power for training and sport
• Support muscle and lean mass gains with resistance training
• Speed up post‑workout recovery from hard sessions
• Support cognition (memory/attention) under fatigue or stress

Evidence

Beta-alanine is a building block for carnosine, a compound that soaks up acid in working muscles. By raising muscle carnosine, it helps you push a bit longer during hard, 1–10 minute efforts—think sprints, rowing pieces, cycling climbs, or HIIT intervals.

• Enhance high‑intensity athletic performance
• Increase interval and sprint capacity during training
• Delay fatigue in 1–10 minute efforts (time‑to‑exhaustion/time‑trial work)

Evidence

Citrulline is a nitric‑oxide–boosting amino acid your body also makes naturally. Think of it as a backstage pass that gets more L‑arginine into your blood, helping blood vessels relax and muscles receive better flow. Athletes use it for extra reps, and some people use it to nudge down blood pressure or support erectile function.

• Support healthy blood pressure
• Enhance exercise performance (especially reps-to-fatigue in resistance training)
• Increase blood flow/vascular function and “muscle pump”
• Support erectile function (mild cases)
