Cluster Dextrin is a patented form of highly branched cyclic dextrin, an atypical carbohydrate made from waxy maize amylopectin using branching enzymes that introduce extensive branching into its molecular structure. In turn, highly branched cyclic dextrin has a molecular weight of ~400,000 g/mol, far exceeding that of dextrose (180 g/mol) and maltodextrin (400-2,000 g/mol) found in most carbohydrate supplements [1].

The high molecular weight of highly branched cyclic dextrin imparts high water solubility, very low osmolality, and resistance to retrogradation. As such, Cluster Dextrin® is easier to tolerate for athletes and won’t cause the gastrointestinal discomfort of conventional sports drinks [2]. 

Numerous clinical studies have shown that athletes given highly branched cyclic dextrin pre-workout experience significantly greater peak performance capacity and reduced rates of perceived exertion (RPE) compared to those given sports beverages with dextrose/glucose or maltodextrin [3, 4]. 

Supplementing with Cluster Dextrin® after training helps replenish muscle glycogen and create a more anabolic environment for maximal recovery, especially when combined with a quality protein source like grass-fed whey isolate [5, 6].

Peak ATP® is a clinically researched, patented form of disodium adenosine 5’-triphosphate structurally identical to human ATP. Using purinergic receptor signaling, Peak ATP® stimulates vasodilation and enhances calcium influx directly within working muscle cells [7].

By increasing extracellular ATP levels and muscular excitability, Peak ATP® can help promote athletic performance (e.g., peak power output) and support lean muscle hypertrophy. Peak ATP® is also a fast-acting performance booster that helps prevent fatigue and sustain work capacity during intense exertion.

RedNite® is a clinically researched, highly soluble beetroot extract derived from fresh beet juice. It provides bioavailable dietary nitrates and antioxidant betalains to fuel the body’s nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway.

Through supporting nitric oxide production and optimizing muscular oxygen efficiency, beetroot extract can help promote endurance performance and lower the oxygen cost of high-intensity exercise [8].

Calcium is an essential mineral for enhancing the integrity of bone and promoting the growth, proliferation, and differentiation of bone cells [9]. It’s also associated with mitochondria in muscle cells to stimulate ATP synthesis [10]. 

To ensure optimal efficacy and absorption, TL Hydrate features TRAACS chelated calcium and dicalcium phosphate, two highly bioavailable forms of supplemental calcium [11].

Extracted from red algae, Aquamin™ is a natural source of magnesium and 72 other trace minerals. 

Aquamin® Magnesium provides magnesium in its native ionic state for optimal biocompatibility.

Consuming adequate amounts of bioavailable magnesium is imperative for active individuals to support muscle contraction during exercise [12]. 

Sodium is the primary positive ion (cation) in the fluid outside cells. It modulates the amount of water in the body, and the movement of sodium into and out of cells is essential for proper cell-to-cell signaling.

As a counterpart to sodium, potassium is the primary cationic (positively charged) electrolyte inside cells. The balance of sodium and potassium is particularly important for cellular hydration, and potassium is necessary for intra- and intercellular signaling, as well as being a substrate for skeletal muscle contraction.

Coconut water powder removes the sugary and fatty constituents of coconut water while retaining the essential electrolyte micronutrients, such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and sodium. Due to its abundant electrolyte profile, coconut water can rapidly rehydrate athletes after intense exercise, making it ideal for pre-, intra-, and post-workout supplementation [13].
