Active ingredients per scoop

One 13 g scoop contains 3 g of L-citrulline, 1.6 g of beta-alanine and 1.25 g of betaine anhydrous. L-citrulline is an amino acid found naturally in watermelon, for example, and beta-alanine is a naturally occurring beta amino acid. Betaine is found in foods such as beetroot and wholegrain cereals. Each scoop also contains 1 g of L-tyrosine, 1 g of taurine, Nitrosigine (750 mg), 250 mg of coconut powder and 125 mg of citicoline.

Caffeine is present in two forms: 130 mg of caffeine anhydrous and 32 mg of di-caffeine malate, a compound of caffeine and malic acid. The formula is completed by 25 mg of theobromine, which occurs naturally in cocoa, and Astragin (12.5 mg). With two scoops, all amounts are doubled.

How to use?

The manufacturer recommends starting with one scoop (13 g) to assess your tolerance. If needed, you can gradually increase the amount to two scoops. Add the powder to 230–350 ml of cold water and mix well. The container holds 40 scoops, which is 20 servings when using two scoops at a time. Do not exceed the recommended amount and take into account your total caffeine intake for the day, including coffee, tea and energy drinks.
