Ingredients Label
Active Ingredients
Beta Alanine
Beta Alanine, a beta-amino acid, increases the Carnosine levels in muscle.
This averts muscular fatigue by reducing both acid and free radical build-up caused by exercise (1).
The optimal dose is 2-5g daily.
L-Citrulline
L-Citrulline is an amino acid which increases pumps and endurance (2).
When consumed, it’s converted to Nitric Oxide. This dilates the blood vessels and increases blood flow, increasing the “pump” you get in the gym.
The most effective dose is 6-8g.
Arginine/AAKG
Arginine is another Nitric Oxide supplement that improves pumps and endurance through the dilation of blood vessels (3).
Nitraflex contains both the regular type and the “AAKG” type, which is better absorbed (4).
The effective dose is 3-6g.
Caffeine
Caffeine increases alertness as well as power output and athletic performance (5).
An effective dose varies with tolerance, but is usually about 200-500mg.
L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that can lower stress hormones and improve mood (6).
It is sometimes used to reduce jitters caused by Caffeine. The effective dose is 500-2,000mg.
L-Theanine
L-Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea, which also promotes relaxation and focus (7).
Paired with caffeine, it takes the “edge” off the stimulant effect, calming anxiety and maintaining focus.
The standard dose is 100-200mg.
Calcium Fructopyranose Borate
Calcium Fructopyranose Borate is a source of Boron, which has shown to improve free testosterone levels (8).
The effective dose has not yet been established.
Who Takes It?
Any athlete wishing to increase their workout quality, pumps, and testosterone can benefit from using Nitraflex.
How to Take
Mix 1 scoop (10g) with 250mL water daily, and consume 30-60 minutes before your workout.
Side Effects
The large dose of Caffeine could cause an upset stomach if taken without enough water.
You might feel a harmless tingling sensation throughout your body from Beta Alanine.
Pros
- A good mix of pump, performance and focus ingredients are used, most likely in good amounts
- Extra testosterone-boosting ingredient included as a bonus
- Large variety of flavours are available.
Cons
- It has no Creatine component.
Conclusion
Nitraflex is an excellent formula for massive pumps and focus, as well as increasing endurance.
It even has an extra testosterone-boosting ingredient, which very few pre-workout supplements include.
Unlike the majority of pre-workouts, it has no Creatine in it, but this can be fixed with additional supplementation.
