FAQ

Caffeine

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system resulting in increased wakefulness and alertness, enhanced focus, and better general body coordination. Individuals vary in exact amount of caffeine needed to produce effects due to factors such as body size and degree of tolerance to caffeine. The effects are rapid and generally occur in less than one hour. Positive effects have been observed at levels as low as 32 mg.

B Vitamins

B vitamins help to support our body’s internal energy production pathways., More specifically:

  • Vitamin B2 – Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is an essential component of the coenzymes FMN (riboflavin-5′-phosphate) and FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) which are used in metabolism to help your body turn the food you eat into energy. They are also important for cellular function, growth, and development.
  • Vitamin B3 – Vitamin B3 (niacin) is part of coenzymes NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase) which are used in metabolism to help your body turn the food you eat into energy.
  • Vitamin B5 – Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is needed for the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein, which are involved in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.
  • Vitamin B6 – Vitamin B6 is needed for 100+ metabolic reactions in the body and is part of coenzymes PLP (pyridoxal 5′ phosphate) and PMP (pyridoxamine 5′ phosphate).
  • Vitamin B12 – Vitamin B12 is a cofactor for two enzymes: methionine synthase and L-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. These enzymes catalyze many of the reactions that impact protein and fat metabolism as well as protein and DNA synthesis. An adequate supply of B12 is essential for normal blood formation and neurological function.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water soluble antioxidant that is also a cofactor for enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of collagen, carnitine, and neurotransmitters.

Glutamine

Glutamine is the most important amino acid in the body and works with other amino acids to support muscle protein synthesis. Glutamine requirements may be increased in association with high levels of physical stress.

Taurine

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid found in high concentrations in the brain, retina, heart, and platelets.
