Behind the Formula
The Pump
We all chase “the pump” in the gym; the muscle filling, skin tightening, vein popping fullness and vascularity that comes along with heightened nitric oxide production and vasodilatation. Chasing the pump not only gives you a positive feeling when you look in the mirror but also can help with performance and recovery by shuttling more oxygen rich and nutrient dense blood to working muscles.
As mentioned above, higher stimulant products can lead to vaso-constriction and less blood flow to working muscles which is why PRE-HD BLACK was formulated using specific pump inducing ingredients to deliver its amazing results.
Glycersize™ – Glycersize™ is a better absorbed and more stable form of Glycerol powder, yielding a minimum of 65% glycerol that can enhance muscle hydration, endurance and fullness. Glycerol is known to pull more water into the cell giving a fuller and denser muscle belly and in combination with other key ingredients found in PRE-HD ULTRA contains two grams of Glycersize™ and can give users a bigger and better muscle pump along with enhanced performance, endurance and recovery.
S7™ – S7™ is a 100% plant based ingredient consisting of a precise dose of seven key ingredients clinically shown to increase nitric oxide levels INTERNALLY! S7™ contains zero nitrates and was designed to help the body produce its own endogenous nitric oxide without relying on any external sources or supplementation. The recommended dose for S7™ is 50mg but we felt the sweet spot for this ingredient in our formula was 100mg which we have chosen to include.
Agmatine Sulfate – Utilized for its nitric oxide producing properties and enhancing muscle pumps, Agmatine Sulfate is specifically used in Pre-HD BLACK because of its neurotransmitter and neuromodulator properties. Agmatine can be found throughout the body and is synthesized and stored within astrocytes; a type of glial cell that line the entire central nervous system and are responsible for many essential functions of the CNS. This is why it is believed along with enhancing muscle pumps and fullness, Agmatine can also provide neuro protective support which we feel is important for a high stimulant based product like PRE-HD BLACK.
The Mindset
The right mindset can make or break a workout. Mood, momentum, time of day and muscle trained can all impact the type of mindset you desire and must encompass to get the most out of your lift. Sometimes you want a smooth release of energy and other times are looking for less caffeine and more focus and mood...but sometimes you want to go pedal to the medal and unleash your inner wrath on the weights and that is where PRE-HD BLACK has you covered. PRE-HD BLACK consists of a very unique combination of mind altering stimulants, nootropics and cognitive enhancers to dial in your focus and intensity for a truly one of a kind experience.
Tyrosine – Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that is a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine and can help aid in focus, concentration and mood along with providing an overall sense of well-being.
Caffeine (Anhydrous and Citrate) – Fast acting and highly stimulating, caffeine is the flagship ingredient found in almost all pre workouts and responsible for increased energy, focus and motivation.
Dynamine™ - Dynamine™ is one of the strongest and most effective stimulants on the market today hitting you hard and hitting you fast delivering an unrivaled surge of fast acting, high impact energy, focus and mood without increasing heart rate or blood pressure.
Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) and Huperzine A – DMAE is a precursor to choline and acetylcholine which can help increase focus, mood and cognitive function. This powerful nootropic may also help increased blood and oxygen flow to the brain as well as glucose uptake. Huperzine A is a potent acetylcholineesterase enzyme inhibitor and can help the body slowdown the breakdown of Choline which can help lengthen and stabilize its effects.
L-Phenylethylamine (PEA) and Myristica Fragrans – PEA is classified as a fast acting stimulant and responsible for increasing levels of dopamine and serotonin which are classified as the “feel good” hormones. PEA is very fast acting and could be responsible for the rapid spike in mood and energy experienced when taking PRE-HD BLACK. Myristica Fragrans can help further these feeling of well-being while also contributing to improved energy, focus and a sense of “euphoria” as toted by many users.
Bitter Orange Extract and Higenamine HCL – Bitter Orange Extract is highly concentrated with Synephrine, a powerful Alpha receptor antagonist and Beta receptor agonist known to dramatically increase energy and your metabolic rate. Higenamine is a powerful stimulant responsible for increasing production of noradrenaline/norepinephrine (your fight or flight response) which can enhance your mental alertness and focus.
Yohimbine HCL – A powerful Alpha receptor antagonist, Yohimbine is helps your body to more effectively burn more fat as fuel and can help promote longer lasting energy and endurance.
Astragin® – Each full serving of PRE-HD BLACK contains 50mg of Astragin® to enhance absorption of this powerful formula.
CAUTION: We urge all users to start with one scoop of PRE-HD BLACK to assess their tolerance to the product. Yes, we know everyone has tried a high stimulant pre-workout before but the formula is a very specific combination of heavy stimulants, cognitive and performance enhancing ingredients at exact doses and ratios and we highly recommend to start with one scoop before considering a full serving.
