Improves Time to Exhaustion
Our athletic energy stack contains highly concentrated forms of cordyceps and rhodiolarosea extract at dosages that make a difference.
A double-blind, placebo controlled human trial, demonstrated when taken together it resulted in a 27 seconds increase in exhaustive run time following a 2 week altitude training period.
Perform at a higher training intensity and maintain it for longer, you’ll simply have more ‘gas left in the tank’ to push further.
Increases Power Output
Power is a result of strength and speed combined and refers to the ability to produce the greatest possible output at a given time.
In particular beetroot extract boosts nitric oxide production and increases blood flow. This can result in an increased capacity available for power and overall an increased power output.
In a random, double blind, placebo controlled human trial, average power produced from 0-5 seconds was seen to increase by 9.5% following beetroot supplementation.
Improves VO2 Max
The VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen a person can intake and it is vastly considered the best indicator of cardio respiratory fitness.
Kaempferia parviflora extract may increase blood flow to the muscles, enhance nitric oxide production and provide anti-inflammatory effects. It may help remove lactic acid in muscles, thus improving endurance.
Following a 12 week double-blind place controlled human study this extract improved VO2 max from 45.09 ml/kg to 51.05 ml/kg. This was 8.75% higher than the placebo.
Increases Strength
Muscle strength plays a vital role in athletic performance and can have a large impact in power output along with reducing injuries.
Black maca contains a high level of polyphenol and antioxidants. A clinical study has shown it to reduce ammonia levels which may result in improved muscle function and some explanation to an improvement in muscle strength by 14.33% compared to a placebo.
Enhances Cognitive Function
Mental fatigue can affect your perception of effort or decrease your overall desire to train. When needing to push through physical barriers, your cognition may just be holding you back.
The antioxidant effects of panax ginseng extract may help by providing an anti-fatigue effect and improving concentration, reaction speed and overall mood. A clinical study has shown it can help with muscle recruitment and reduce perceived effort.
