Post Workout

Kyowa Quality® is a premium-grade L-glutamine source made by microbial fermentation and purification. Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in human muscle and plasma; however, it is a conditionally essential amino acid for active gym-goers and athletes since intense and long-duration exercise can deplete glutamine stores in the body, thereby hampering recovery from training [1].

Studies show that glutamine supplementation helps replenish muscle glycogen stores, gut health, and immune function in active individuals, making it an integral component of post-workout nutrition [2, 3, 4]. Clinical research has shown that glutamine also plays a key role in protein synthesis despite being a non-essential amino acid [5].

Beta-alanine is an amino acid that functions as a precursor to carnosine, a molecule that accumulates in skeletal muscle tissue, where it plays a crucial role in buffering the acid produced during intense physical exercise. 

Supplementing with Beta-alanine has been shown to increase muscle carnosine levels, which are quickly depleted during intense exercise [6, 7].

Research shows that supplementing with Beta-alanine can significantly improve overall exercise capacity including maximal strength and power output, particularly in exercises requiring sustained maximal effort[8].  strength [9] 

Beta-alanine supplementation may also increase lean muscle mass [10] and delay the onset of neuromuscular fatigue [11, 12].

Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, plays a role in various physiological processes, primarily as an osmolyte (helping cells maintain fluid balance) and a methyl donor (assisting in biochemical reactions). Betaine supplementation has shown promise in improving muscle endurance and enhancing strength and power in trained individuals [13, 14, 15].

While the mechanisms are not fully understood, Betaine supplementation may promote athletic performance through regulating cellular hydration, supporting creatine biosynthesis and playing a role in ATP (energy) production. [16]

Carnipure® is a high-purity form of L-carnitine L-tartrate—a stable compound designed to support efficient energy production and athletic recovery. L-carnitine is an essential molecule that facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized for energy [ 17]

Research suggests that L-carnitine L-tartrate may help reduce muscle soreness and biomarkers of exercise-induced muscle damage, such as creatine kinase and myoglobin. Additional evidence supports its role in enhancing recovery, promoting lean body mass retention, and improving training performance by decreasing oxidative stress and supporting mitochondrial efficiency. [18, 19, 20, 21]

In short, Carnipure® helps your body convert fat into energy more efficiently and recover faster from intense training sessions.

VitaCherry® is a standardized extract of Montmorency tart cherry, formulated to deliver a high concentration of anthocyanins—natural compounds shown to support the body’s response to inflammation and oxidative stress following intense physical activity

Tart cherries have been shown in multiple studies in athletes and active individuals to reduce muscle damage and enhance muscle recovery after training. [22, 23].

These effects are thought to be due to anthocyanins’ ability to modulate oxidative pathways and inflammatory signaling, particularly after eccentric or endurance-heavy workouts [24].

BetaPrime™ is a trademarked nutraceutical formulation comprised of seed extracts from Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) and Celastrus paniculatus, along with the amino acid L-theanine. This unique ingredient is a beta-alanine protagonist that offsets the uncomfortable paresthesia (tingling/pins/needles) sensation commonly associated with beta-alanine supplementation.

BetaPrime does this by modulating the "itch " receptor (MrgprD), allowing users to consume larger doses of beta-alanine comfortably.

AstraGin™ is a water-soluble extract of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus, two promising adaptogenic herbs with longstanding medicinal use. The constituents in these plants, particularly ginsenosides and astragalosides, are suggested to selectively increase the absorption of molecules such as amino acids by modulating intestinal transporter expression and improving gut barrier integrity [25, 26].

In other words, AstraGin™ helps your body absorb the other ingredients in this post-workout supplement, making the overall formula more effective.
