5% NUTRITION Full As F*ck 360g

5% Nutrition Full AF – caffeine-free pre-workout drink

5% Nutrition Full AF is a food supplement in powder form that is mixed with water to make a drink taken before training. One scoop, or 18.5 g, contains 8000 mg of L-citrulline, 2000 mg of L-taurine, 2000 mg of glycerol powder, 2000 mg of betaine anhydrous and 750 mg of inositol-stabilised arginine silicate, known under the trademark Nitrosigine®. Together these five ingredients make up 14.75 g, the greater part of each serving. There is no caffeine in the ingredient list, so Full AF suits those who want a pre-workout drink without caffeine or who use caffeinated products separately. The product was developed by the American sports supplement brand 5% Nutrition, founded by Rich Piana.

Ingredients per serving

Full AF is based on amino acids and other compounds that occur naturally in food. L-citrulline is an amino acid named after the watermelon – watermelon is one of the best-known natural sources of citrulline. L-taurine is a sulphur-containing compound that we get from food mainly from animal products such as fish and seafood. Glycerol is a three-carbon compound that is part of all fats; Full AF contains it as a powder with 65% glycerol, so 2000 mg of powder provides about 1300 mg of glycerol. Betaine, or trimethylglycine, is a natural compound whose richest source is sugar beet, but it is also found in spinach, for example. Nitrosigine® is a complex of the amino acid L-arginine, silicon and inositol, in which inositol keeps the arginine silicate stable.

How to use?

Mix one scoop (18.5 g) with 240–350 ml of water and drink it about 30 minutes before you start training. The less water you use, the stronger the flavour of the drink. The recommended daily dose is one scoop – do not exceed it. As the powder may settle during storage, shake the container before use and tap it a few times against a hard surface. If you use other pre-workout products on the same day, take their ingredients into account so that the same ingredients are not repeated in large amounts.
