Ingredients Label
Active Ingredients
The ingredients in Dust v2 are listed on the label as a proprietary blend.
That means that we don’t know how much of each individual ingredient is included in the mixture. This is a breakdown of the main active ingredients:
Creatine Monohydrate
A naturally occurring acid, Creatine Monohydrate is able to provide greater energy (1) and strength while working out (2).
Creatine lends a phosphate group to ADP, turning it into ATP, which is the muscle’s prime form of energy.
Beta Alanine
Beta Alanine increases your endurance.
It does this by buffering the acid that comes from lactic acid (3).
This will delay the burning sensation in your muscles that will bring your set to a halt.
L-Taurine
L-Taurine improves cell hydration.
It will also enhance your muscular power output when combined with caffeine (4).
L-Taurine will also boost nitric oxide levels to give you more of a pump during training.
L-Tyrosine
Tyrosine is able to increase your levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter which helps control the brain’s emotional responses.
This will give you more adrenaline to boost your training energy and endurance.
In addition, it can level out the jittery reaction that some people get when taking caffeine (5).
Citrulline Malate
Citrulline Malate is a potent nitric oxide booster.
It will allow for vasodilation of the blood vessel, bringing on a great pump effect while training (6).
Caffeine Anhydrous
Caffeine is a very popular stimulant that will boost your energy and endurance (7).
It will also make your metabolism faster and enhance mental focus temporarily (8).
Who Takes It?
Dust v2 is designed for hardcore bodybuilders who are intent on getting the maximum energy, mental focus and muscle pump for their workout.
How to Take It
Dust v2 should be taken as one 10 gm scoop mixed with 250 ml of water.
You should take it a half hour before your workout.
Side Effects
Although all of the ingredients in Angel Dust are completely natural, this is a very potent pre-workout formula.
It is recommended on the label that you begin with a half scoop and work your way up to a full scoop.
Some people may experience over stimulation, as characterized by jitters and hyperactivity. Women should be especially careful about taking this product.
