Creatine monohydrate is a naturally occurring compound that helps supply energy to muscle. By increasing energy availability to muscle, creatine supports weight lifters’ efforts to lift more weight longer and sprinters’ efforts to run faster, longer. This can result in an increase in muscle mass, power, strength, and speed (1, 2). There is also evidence that creatine helps improve recovery from intense exercise (3).*

L-citrulline is a naturally occurring amino acid that increases nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide boosts athletic performance by increasing blood flow and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles during activity while also supporting cognitive performance by increasing blood flow to the brain (4). In addition to increasing the production of nitric oxide, L-citrulline has been shown to improve anaerobic exercise performance and stimulate muscle protein synthesis by activating muscle-building pathways (5-8).*

Nitrosigine® is a unique patented form of arginine, a metabolic precursor to nitric oxide. Nitrosigine has been shown to be more bioavailable than plain arginine alone, making it a powerful ingredient for boosting nitric oxide levels and blood flow to active muscle (9).* The benefits of Nitrosigine start in as little as 30 minutes after consumption and can last at least three hours. Nitrosigine has also been shown to support increases in mental acuity and focus as well as pre-workout energy levels (10, 11).*

Caffeine helps promote alertness, wakefulness, and cognitive performance. Caffeine also helps relieve fatigue, promote endurance, and improve motor performance (12). It has been shown to enhance athletic performance in various types of high-intensity exercise, such as resistance training, sprinting, and team sports (13, 14).* One serving of AMPED Nitro provides 100 milligrams of naturally sourced caffeine from tea leaves, similar to the amount of caffeine provided in a 12-ounce mug of brewed coffee.

Beta-alanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that combines with histidine to form carnosine in the body. Carnosine helps create a buffer in muscle to inhibit the buildup of lactic acid, which contributes to early fatigue and exhaustion. Studies show that supplementing with beta-alanine can help extend time to fatigue and improve endurance by providing an intramuscular buffer against lactic acid accumulation (15, 16).*

Betaine is a molecule that is shuttled in and out of cells and affects cellular hydration. Supplementation with betaine has been shown to increase total repetitions and volume load while supporting increased power and force in resistance exercise (17, 18). Having increased intracellular concentrations of betaine promotes resilience against stressors (19).*

Taurine is an amino acid that has been shown to be an important factor in improving performance and protecting against oxidative stress during exercise (20). Taurine may have benefits for enhancing exercise capacity because of its cellular protective properties (21).*

Beta-alanine, an ingredient in AMPED Nitro, may cause a mild, temporary tingling or prickly sensation in some users. This is a normal, harmless sensation and is a well-known sign that the ingredient is working. The sensation is typically felt on the face, neck, or back of the hands and should subside within 60-90 minutes after supplementation. Not everyone will feel the tingling due to individual differences and dosage sensitivity.

The temporary tingling sensation should not be confused with an allergic reaction. As with any food or dietary supplement, if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, please discontinue use and seek prompt medical attention.

Depending on your goals, you may incorporate all three products — AMPED Nitro, AMPED NOx, and e+™ — into your pre-workout regimen.

AMPED Nitro contains 100 milligrams of naturally sourced caffeine from tea leaves. You should be aware of your personal level of caffeine tolerance before combining e+ with AMPED Nitro. Using AMPED Nitro and e+ together may provide more caffeine than you desire.

AMPED Power and AMPED Nitro use many of the same ingredients, so there may not be any added benefit to using the two together prior to a workout. AMPED Power is an excellent choice for those who don’t want the added caffeine or for days when you have a lighter workout planned.

AMPED NOx works to support blood flow in a different way than AMPED Nitro. It can be taken any time before a workout and can be combined with AMPED Nitro for added support.

AMPED Nitro is intended for use before intense physical activity, which is not recommended on Cleanse Days. Because of this, AMPED Nitro is not recommended for Cleanse Days. For a lighter exercise regimen, you may use e+ and AMPED NOx before your workout.

Studies have shown that a modest intake of easily absorbed carbohydrates, including simple sugars, can support better exercise performance in athletes. The use of sugar also provides a pleasant flavor without the use of any artificial flavors or sweeteners.

Yes, AMPED Nitro is an effective addition to your daily exercise routine.

Many athletes perform two workouts in one day — one in the morning and one in the afternoon. For these athletes, it’s safe to use a serving of AMPED Nitro before each workout. Keep in mind that because of its inclusion of caffeine, AMPED Nitro may interfere with sleep if taken in the evening hours before bed.

AMPED Nitro is an effective pre-workout supplement for anyone participating in intense physical activity.
