Active Ingredients
Citrulline Malate
Citrulline is an amino acid which increases levels of nitric oxide in the body.
This results in better vasodilation effects during exercise – a widening of the blood vessels which improves blood flow, pumps, and physical performance (1).
Arginine is also known to have a similar effect.
Beta Alanine
Beta alanine is a well-known compound for its fatigue-reducing effects.
It does this by counteracting the build-up of acid and free-radicals during exercise (2).
The effective dose is about 2-5g.
Betaine
Betaine, not to be confused with beta-alanine, is a compound found in sugar beets.
Research shows that it may improve power output, and possibly body composition too (3).
The effective dose is about 2.5g.
Tyrosine
Tyrosine is an amino acid that’s known to reduce stress hormone levels.
This is especially effective in stressed or fatigued people, for whom it can improve mental and athletic performance (4).
An effective dose is 500-2,000mg.
Taurine
Taurine is also an amino acid.
It can improve pumps and also reduce fatigue during exercise.
An effective dose is about a gram.

The effective dose depends on the individual, but is usually around 200-500mg.
