World Wide Sport Extreme NOS Pumped energy drinks are meant to boost one’s motivation for working out and possibly increase performance and focus. These drinks come pre-packaged, so there’s no worrying about trying out serving sizes or mixing. The increased-energy effect comes from nitric oxide, along with other undisclosed ingredients.

Nitric oxide is a vasodilator. This means that it widens blood vessels in the body, influencing better blood circulation. In response to this, the body feels pumped and energized. Niacin is also contained in this product. Niacin is also called Vitamin B3. It has been associated with converting food into energy. Doctors sometimes recommend Niacin to patients with high cholesterol because it may assist with cleaning out arteries.

Though the drink does not contain an excessive dose, when taken in large amounts, Niacin can cause the body to turn bright red. A person’s skin would be left feeling hot and itchy.

Half of the bottle should be consumed 20 minutes before working out. The other half should be taken during workout. No more than 2 bottles should be consumed in a 24-hour period.

Benefits:
- may increase energy
- pre-packaged, no mixing

Negatives:
- potential side effects

Ingredients:
- Niacin
- Folic Acid
- Sodium
- Potassium Citrate
- Extreme NOS Pumped Complex

Optimum Nutrition Essential Amino Energy offers an interesting twist on a pre-workout mix. According to Optimum Nutrition, this product can be used for a simple amino acid boost, pre-workout fuel, or even post-workout recovery. The main ingredients (which can cause a tingling sensation) consist of Beta Alanine, L-Arginine, and Caffeine. Essentially, Beta Alanine is an amino acid that boosts energy levels and gives a person that “I want to work out” attitude. L-Arginine causes vasodilation, or the widening of blood vessels. Wider blood vessels allow the nutrients and other aminos of the product to be absorbed faster. Caffeine speeds up the metabolism and has been linked to increased alertness – and even reduction of muscle pain after working out (though this has not been scientifically proven).

Flushing and tingling are the only side effects that have been linked to consumption of Beta Alanine. L-Aginine is thought to be relatively not harmful in any way, though taken in excessive amount it may cause diarrhea. It is commonly known that while caffeine has many benefits, it has some side effects as well. Caffeine can cause trouble sleeping, anxiousness, increase nervousness, and may cause nausea for some.

Combine 2 scoops of this product with a glass of cold water. For an energy boost, take one or more servings first thing in the morning and between meals. Prior to working out, a person should take 1 to 3 servings (if a pre-workout effect is desired). For muscle recovery, take 1 to 2 servings immediately after your workout.

 Benefits:
- contains essential and non-essential amino acids
- multiple uses

Negatives:
- potential side effects of caffeine and other ingredients

Ingredients:
- L-Glutamine
- L-Arginine
- Beta Alanine
- Citrulline
- Caffeine
- Green Tea Extract

Muscletech claims that their naNO Vapor Hardcore Pro Series will make your work outs super intense, make you capable of massive pumps, and give you extreme energy. naNo Vapor is a pre-workout supplement, meaning it may get you in the mood for an extreme workout. Nitric oxide is the primary ingredient that will give you that adrenaline rush, while amino acids such as L-Taurine and L-Carnosine will have nutrients running through your body with haste.

L-Carnosine is a unique substance formed from two amino acids. It is believed that L-Carnosine can improve blood flow to the brain and even regenerate and repair old cells, making them look newer and function properly. L-Taurine raises the expression level of mRNA, which increases the speed in which proteins and nutrients are transported. Creatine gives muscles the ability to retain more water.

No side effects have been reported even with L-Carnosine taken in high doses. Lots of water must be consumed with Creatine, as it may cause dehydration.

Mix 1 to 3 scoops of naNO Vapor with 12 fl oz of water 30 minutes prior to workout. Tolerance level should be assessed first by only taking 1 scoop. At least a gallon of water a day should be consumed with this product. Do not take any other stimulant, mainly caffeine, while taking naNO Vapor.

Benefits:
- may encourage a workout mood
- may boost immune system

Negatives:
- shouldn’t be taken with coffee or caffeine
- may make some feel overly-hyped

Ingredients:
- Nitric Oxide
- naNO Vapor Proprietary Blend
- L-Arginine
- Taurine
- Quercetin
- Creatine
- Root of Dioscorea
- Caffeine
- L-Carnitine
- L-Carnosine
- L-Tyrosine

Muscle Tech Cell Tech Hardcore Pro Series claims to build 26 times more “rock-hard” mass than just regular Creatine. This claim is based off a physiology lab-conducted test in which half the experiment subjects were given placebos – and the other half Cell Tech. The key to this product is in the Creatine absorption. HPLC Certified Dextrose can be accredited to having the creatine spread throughout the body’s muscle fibers with haste. Muscle Tech suggests that each individual serving of Cell Tech contains 75 grams of this Certified Dextrose.

There has been much debate on the topic of Creatine. It is a fact, having been backed by research, that Creatine can cause dehydration if the consumer doesn’t drink enough water with the product. Creatine consumption has also been linked (though not scientifically proven) to causing mood swings, diarrhea, and cramps. The high dosage of dextrose is a contradiction to working out. Again, it is sugar in high doses that has been contributed to causing obesity and weight gain – according to some experts.

In the first five days, take 2 servings daily. After day five, take one serving immediately after working out. On days without working out, take one serving in the morning after waking up, then another serving 12 hours later. Mix the scoops with water, and then drink an additional glass of water to stay hydrated.

Benefits:
- potential muscle mass increase
- lab tested

Negatives:
- high amount of sugar
- possible side effects of Creatine

Ingredients:
- HPLC Certified Dextrose
- Vitamin C
- Calcium
- Iron
- Phosphorous (as Creatine phosphate)

Some workout enthusiasts prefer more natural ingredients that can potentially build muscle and benefit the immune system without the energy additives such as nitric oxide, caffeine, or green tea extract. With Optimum Nutrition Pre-Load Creatine Complex, the essentials – plus a little more – are added without any “intense” supplements.  Creatine, L-Taurine, and L-Glutamine are among the key ingredients in this product.

L-Glutamine is made naturally in the human body. It is believed to assist the immune system and increase the amount of water that can be held at one time in the body. In some studies, when given to sick people, a reduction of symptoms is visible (not too conclusive). It is suggested that L-Taurine may speed up the transportation of various proteins throughout the body. Nutrients are absorbed quicker. Creatine is also produced naturally in the body. It can be classified as a block for muscle building. Additional amino acids are present in the Pre-Load Creatine Complex that may boost the immune system.

It is advised not to take an excessive amount of L-Taurine with insulin and anabolic steroids, as it may cause brain damage (only one case ever reported). There are no recorded side effects of L-Glutamine, though long-term use has not been overly studied. Creatine may cause dehydration. Take Creatine with sufficient water.

On training days, mix 2 scoops of Pre-Load Creatine Complex with 12 fl oz of water 30-60 minutes before working out. Not all ingredients will dissolve. On non-training days, consume 1-2 scoops between morning and afternoon meals.

Benefits:
- may boost immune system
- may increase muscle mass

Negatives:
- potential side effects

Ingredients:
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Creatine Monohydrate
- L-Glutamine
- L-Taurine
- L-Leucine
- L-Isoleucine
- L-Valine
- Trimethylglycine

German American Technologies Nitraflex is considered a PWO, or pre-workout mix. This particular brand emphasizes the importance of testosterone boosting, although it offers some vasodilators in the mix as well. The predominant ingredient in this product is called calcium fructopyranose borate (CFB). Boron was once popularly used when working out because it was believed to boost testosterone, but  opinions on certain scientific evidence made it go out of style. New research suggests that boron can in fact help boost testosterone levels.

Calcium fructopyranose borate can be summed up in simple terms; it increases testosterone levels by inhibiting processes that break it down. It has been scientifically backed that while taking this supplement, within 6 days testosterone levels may be raised significantly. A person can benefit from this because testosterone is the building block of muscle. As a bonus, it can add stamina and performance during sexual activity.

Boosting testosterone could be a good thing, but there are some potential risks. When feeding ourselves additional testosterone (more than the body already produces), the body may become dependent on this level of hormone. As a result, when discontinuing the product, decreased sex drive and ability to build muscle may be hindered. Aggressive behavior and anxiety may be side effects as well.

When training, take 1 scoop of Nitraflex 30 minutes prior to working out. On off days, take one scoop in the morning. Mix scoops with 8 fl oz of water. Do not exceed one serving in the same 24-hours period.

Benefits:
- may increase testosterone levels
- possible increase in sexual performance

Negatives:
- must be taken continuously for results
- testosterone side effects

Ingredients:
- Vasoactive Arginase
- Nitraflex Proprieseutical Blend
- Endurance Complex
- Calcium Fructopyranose Borate

Cellucor M5 Extreme utilizes a split canister to deliver a customizable pre-workout supplement with two formulas: Build and Ignite.

The Build formula is contained in the bottom section of the container. This provides you with creatine nitrate, which is known to be one of the most soluble forms of creatine, ensuring you get the most out of its muscle-building effects – along with an increase in nitric oxide.

The Ignite formula, contained in the top part of the canister, is designed to ignite your workout. This supplement intends to provide focus with an adrenaline rush when you need the boost.

The variety of ingredients found in M5 Extreme may help to support muscular endurance. Beta alanine is meant to enhance carnosine levels, which prevents lactic acid build up. Mental alertness, amped energy levels, and focus are all supported by caffeine, N-acetyl-L-tyrosine, and rauwolscine. Creatine, pyridoxine phosphate, and betaine HCl all may contribute to muscle growth and repair. A nitric oxide boost for enhanced delivery of these nutrients and oxygen by the blood vessels is provided by citrulline malate, arginine AKG, and creatine nitrate. Be mindful that beta alanine and caffeine may have some minor negative side effects.

It is recommended that one scoop of the Build formula always be taken with one to two scoops of the Ignite formula about half an hour before a workout. Mix with a glass of water. There is an athletic disclosure label, so double-check the ingredients before using for a regulated competition.

Benefits:
- 2-in-1, customizable energy and strength supplement
- contains very soluble creatine product

Negatives:
- may need to avoid if under athletic restrictions
- minor side effects may occur

Ingredients:

Nutrex Research claims that this product “may be stronger than any pre-workout product you have ever tried.” If getting a tingling sensation before working out, having increased energy and focus, maximizing pumps, and growing bigger muscles is what you want, then Nutrex Research recommends you try their product. The active ingredients in this product are L-Arginine, Creatine monohydrate, Carnosyn Beta Alanine, and a “Hemorage Black Ultra Concentrate Propriety Blend” (the ingredients in the blend are not shown by the company). L-Arginine vasodilates blood vessels (meaning they are expanded) for improved blood flow. This increased flow of blood spreads nutrients throughout the body quickly. Creatine, a supplement used in several workout products, helps the muscles hold water. The additional water in the muscles delays fatigue and promotes a fast, strong recovery.

Hemo Rage Black Ultra Concentrate may increase energy too greatly for some users. Feedback by various consumers on such products suggests that the energy mix might be too strong. Side effects of Creatine include dehydration, upset stomach, increased aggressive behavior, and anxiousness – according to some experts.

Only one serving should be taken in a 24-hour period for desired effect. The serving should be taken with 4-5 oz. of water 30 minutes prior to workout.

Benefits:
- may increase willingness to workout
- possible muscle growth

Negatives:
- may invoke a jittery feeling
- other possible side effects

Ingredients:
- Sodium
- Chloride
- Creatine Monohydrate
- L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate
- Carnosyn Beta Alanine
- Taurine
- Caffeine
- 1,3 Dimethylamylamine
- Huperzine A

Cellucor N-Zero Extreme stands for zero creatine, zero sugar, and almost zero carbs. This supplement contains arginine nitrate, a combination of arginine and nitric acid that is meant to work as a powerful vasodilator. This maximizes blood flow, delivering oxygen and other components to your cells as efficiently as possible to amplify your training experience. Citrulline malate and L-Norvaline also work to increase nitric oxide levels in the body to promote vasodilation.

Beta alanine helps to fight fatigue because it is a precursor of carnosine, which reduces lactic acid build up, providing you with more endurance. The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, valine, and isoleucine may be key in preventing muscle wasting and promoting muscle strength. The combination of cinnamon bark, caffeine, theobromine, and other ingredients is designed to keep you alert and energized. Oxovanadium may help with glucose uptake from the bloodstream, ensuring your cells are never hungry for energy. Any one of these various components could cause a negative reaction in your system if there is too much for your body to handle. Keep this in mind when taking supplements.

Start out taking one scoop of N-Zero Extreme mixed with water or juice to test your tolerance level, upping the dose to two if necessary. This product can be taken on an empty stomach or with food. It’s recommended that you take N-Zero Extreme at least fifteen minutes before beginning training.

Benefits:
- only one gram of carbs
- zero sugar

Negatives:
- minor side effects may be an issue

Applied Nutricueticals Lit-up is believed to help build lean muscle tissue and stimulate the mind and body for a great workout – and enhanced endurance. Beta-Alanine is a vital ingredient in this pre-workout. A vitamin blend to help muscle recovery and natural caffeine for focus and energy is included too.

Some say that Beta Alanine is closely related to Creatine. But Beta Alanine works on sustaining the muscles for better endurance, while Creatine helps “power through” exercise. That burning sensation is caused from lactic acid building up. Beta-Alanine works on reducing the acidity levels in the muscles. University studies have suggested that regular exercisers benefited from taking Beta-Alanine with improved aerobic cardio.

Beta-Alanine is considered to be relatively safe. However, here has not been much research on how long-term Beta-Alanine users are affected, so caution should be taken. Caffeine is contained in this product for energy and focus. Caffeine may also cause sleeplessness, upset stomach, and light headedness.

Mix 1-2 scoops (once tolerance is assessed) with 8 fl oz of cold water. Consume 30 minutes before working out. Do not take close to bed time, as it may cause trouble with sleeping.

Benefits:
- vitamin blend for recovery
- may help build lean muscle

Negatives:
- long-term effects of Beta-Alanine unknown
- may cause sleeplessness

Ingredients:
- Vitamin B1
- Copper Citrate
- Calcium Poclinate
- Vitamins K2, B12, and D3
- Tissue Generation Complex
- Muscle Enhancement Blend

Twinlab Creatine Fuel Stack may provide you with explosive pumps and may help with building lean mass. While the product does contain a few essential amino acids such as Glutamine and Taurine, the intention is to provide the consumer with pure Creatine monohydrate for quick muscle recovery and boosted performance.

Creatine is subject to much controversy. Creatine is already in our bodies. The muscles in the body become fatigued while working out due to the using up of energy molecules known as ATP. Creatine is stored in the muscle and can be used as a “fuel” to reboot the depleted ATP molecules. Enzymes break off the phosphate from Creatine when in use; when this happens, energy is released and ATP is reformed. As a result, a person may be able to increase his/her pumps by as much as 10-15 seconds.

Creatine must be consumed with plenty of water, as it can dehydrate the body. In addition to this side effect, nausea, mood swings, and nervousness have been reported with the use of creatine (these side effects are not backed by strong scientific evidence).

Take 6 pills daily with meals after finished exercising.

Benefits:
- may help grow lean muscle
- essential amino acids included

Negatives:
- potential side effects of Creatine

Ingredients:
- Creatine Monohydrate
- L-Glutamine

Cellucor D4 is designed to help you preserve muscle mass and ensure your body is losing the right kind of weight; the fat. This weight-loss supplement aims to target fat cells through beta-2 neurostimulation, which causes an adrenaline rush for increased energy and focus. The amla fruit extract is responsible for this. It is a natural source of phyllemblin, an adrenergic stimulator that leads to the rush of adrenaline – and also acts as a vasodilator. This causes blood to flow more rapidly, allowing oxygen and energy-supplying nutrients to get to the cells more rapidly as well.

Octopamine HCl may specifically break down fatty tissue, helping to keep muscle tissue intact. White and green tea extracts, both with antioxidant properties, may increase fat metabolism, while preventing fat cells from forming. Evodiamine may also limit fat stores as well as sclareolide. White willow bark extract contains salicin, a milder form of synthesized salicylic acid, the main ingredient of aspirin. The salicin may help the body to metabolize excess glucose and burn more fat. It also may work to intensify the fat-burning effects of caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant that causes a temporary energy boost. The passion flower is added because it may lessen the side effects from the added stimulants.

Each of these ingredients may do much more than just help your body to burn fat. Many may have healthful properties like being an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or contribute to the maintenance of certain systems in the body. They also may have the potential for negative side effects. Those side effects that can come from caffeine are well known and vary in intensity depending on the individual. However, those of other compounds are not as well known, so it is important to exercise caution – and follow the recommended instructions for use.

It is recommended that Cellucor D4 be taken twice a day, with one two-capsule serving taken in the morning and one around lunch. If taken in the evening, it may cause sleeplessness from the caffeine content. It is not necessary to take with food, but tolerance should be assessed before taking the recommended dose.

Benefits:
- may help with weight loss
- natural herbal extracts

Negatives:
- possibility for negative side effects

Ingredients:
- Amla Fruit Extract
- Caffeine Anhydrous
- White Willow Bark Extract

Isatori Sports Nutrition wants the consumer to try their product for “the most intense workout!” PWR may get you amped for body building by using various stimulants and vasodilators. The primary ingredients (the ones that give you that tingling sensation) consist of Creatine nitrate, Beta Alanine, and caffeine.

A vasodilator is a substance that expands the blood vessels, allowing nutrients to flow through and be absorbed into the body quicker. As a result, faster recovery, bigger pumps, and higher performance may be achieved. Nitrate and Beta Alanine are both vasodilators. Creatine lets the muscles retain water. Caffeine on the other hand, gets you pumped by speeding up the body’s metabolic rate. In turn, the body burns more calories and potentially more fat.

Beta Alanine has only been reported as causing a flushing and/or tingling effect when taken in large doses. Creatine receives a bad reputation at times due to its risk of causing dehydration. This can easily be avoided by drinking plenty of water or sports drinks to stay hydrated. Caffeine can cause sleeplessness if taken close to bed time. Caffeine has also been known to cause nervousness – and sometimes nausea.

On an empty stomach, take 1 scoop of PWR mixed with 6oz of water 15-20 minutes before working out. It is suggested that half the serving amount should be taken when first trying out the product. Once the tolerance level is assessed, 1 scoop may be taken.

Benefits:
- may increase performance and energy
- only 5 calories per serving

Negatives:
- overly stimulating in some cases
- risk of side effects

Ingredients:
- Creatine Nitrate
- Beta Alanine
- Caffeine
- Arginine AKG
- Ultra-Concentrated Energy Blend

Beast Sports Nutrition Predator is a pre-workout supplement in pill form. Intense energy and focus, maximized pumps, and increased performance may be a result of taking this product. Like many pre-workout products, Predator contains nitric oxide as a vasodilator to spread nutrients quickly throughout the body. Creatine Magna Power and Gingko Biloba are other essential ingredients.

Nitric oxide expands the blood vessels to allow quick passage of nutrients. In accompaniment with Creatine Magna Power, which contains a unique formula for muscle retention and absorption, there is no telling how much muscle can be gained through intense workouts. Gingko Biloba has been used by the Chinese for years. Many believe it enhances focus and concentration.

There are no side effects of taking nitric oxide that have been reported. Creatine must be taken with large amounts of water. It promotes water retention in the muscles, thus requiring the consumer to drink more water.

6 to 8 capsules of Predator should be taken with 12 fl oz. of water 20 minutes prior to training for tolerance assessment. Up to a full 10 capsules may be taken once tolerance is assessed. 3-5 capsules should be taken in the morning and at night with meals. If taken too late, sleeplessness may occur.

Benefits:
- may increase energy prior to workout
- pill form, no mixing, no mess

Negatives:
- many pills to take
- potential side effects

Ingredients:

MHP X-Fit Trainer is a pre-workout product designed to get amped for working out, help lose fat, and encourage fast muscle recovery. This supplement has been tested and certified not to contain any banned substances. X-Fit Trainer relies on natural caffeine to get the body going. Additional key ingredients include raspberry ketones and Creatine.

Raspberry ketones regulate adiponectin, a protein in the body that regulates metabolism. Essentially, it is believed to break up fat cells to increase the effectiveness of burning fat. Creatine is a type of fuel for muscles that is assumed to promote lean growth and retain water in the body. Caffeine is used for speeding up a person’s metabolism. A speedy metabolism means more calories burned and more fat lost.

It is said by some that raspberry ketones, once taken, must continuously be taken to keep the fat off. Creatine can cause dehydration. Since it allows the body to retain more water, extra water is needed. Caffeine has been reported as giving people the jitters and causing headaches. People who discontinue taking caffeine may go through a form of withdrawal.

Take 1 scoop of MHP X-Fit Trainer with 8 fl oz. of cold water 30 minutes before working out.

Benefits:
- low amount of calories
- free of banned substances

Negatives:
- potential side effects
- may cause insomnia

Ingredients:
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Rasberry Ketones
- Natural Caffeine

The purpose of WS1 Extreme is to get fat moving into muscle cells to be burned for energy. Doing this creates a metabolism increase while boosting energy. This may be accomplished by the addition of carnitine and coenzyme Q-10. Both of these compounds help the body to metabolize fat. Carnitine has the added bonus of possibly suppressing appetite and contributing to muscle growth, while coenzyme Q-10 may be beneficial to the heart. Garlic and bitter melon extract both may work toward preventing insulin spikes, which can lead to fat storage. This way, WS1 Extreme helps to burn fat and prevent fat from settling in. Vitamins E and A are added for their health benefits, as they contribute to a number of bodily activities. Pterostilbene may have many benefits that are still being researched, but it seems to stay active in the body for a long time – and acts as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanism.

This energizing blend of fat-burning, metabolism-boosting herbs and compounds may be just the thing you need to get you the definition you’ve been craving. There are many possible health benefits offered by this formula, but some of the ingredients contained in this product may have caused mild to severe side effects in some users. Your reaction depends on the dose and your body’s sensitivity, and you may have no trouble at all.

WS1 Extreme should be taken twice a day, with one two-capsule serving taken in the morning and another serving in the evening. This product should be taken with food, and taken consistently every day for the best weight-loss results.

Benefits:
- may help with weight loss
- contains vitamins and antioxidants

Negatives:
- possibility for negative side effects

Ingredients:
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl
- Coenzyme Q-10
- Garlic Extract

True Athlete Training Formula is unique in the fact that the company made the product without banned substances that are often checked for in many sports. This can include hockey, baseball, football, soccer, boxing, wrestling, and others. The company claims that the True Athlete Training Formula is a superior pre-workout product that can enhance muscle growth and increase endurance and performance. Creatine is an active ingredient in this product. AstraGin is what separates this product from others. AstraGin is made from ginseng and astragalus. Nutrients are carried through the body by transporter proteins responding to mRNA expressions. AstraGin may increase the activity of these proteins by increasing the expression of the mRNA.

Arginine is also a main ingredient in this product. It is believed that Arginine keeps blood vessels open by dilation. This improves blood flow, which allows a person to work out harder for longer. Creatine encourages muscles to retain water. When muscles are supplied with a lot of water, they are able to function better and grow faster. Creatine has been known to cause dehydration if the consumer doesn’t drink enough water.

1 to 3 scoops should be taken with water 30-45 minutes prior to working out. Upon first using the product, try 1 scoop – then work your way up if needed. Do not try 3 scoops unless needed.

Benefits:
- may provide increased energy
- may contribute to muscle growth and endurance
- completely legal for sports

Negatives:
- possible side effects of Creatine
- can contribute to sleeping problems (if taken too late in the day)

Ingredients:
- Creatine Monohydrate

Muscle Warfare suggests that their product can trigger the body to gain mass, recover quicker, and add volume and growth to muscles. Many ingredients are contained in this product, but the most important include essential amino acids (BCAAs), glycerol, and testosterone.

BCAAs, or branch chain amino acids, are believed to prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue and increase the release of the body’s natural growth hormone. Glycerol may keep the body hydrated when working out. Glycerol has a high water-binding ability. When consumed, the body is able to hold more water, in turn delaying muscle fatigue and improving recovery.  Testosterone is the body’s muscle-building tool. It has been linked to boosting sex drive and muscle growth.

There are no listed side effects of BCAA consumption. Too much testosterone has been reported of causing aggressive behavior, and in some cases lowered empathy. It is advised by some doctors that supplements containing testosterone should be used with caution. The body may get used to the additional hormones and as a result, require the added testosterone which can become a problem when discontinuing the supplement.

1 to 3 scoops of Muscle Warfare Nuke should be mixed with a glass of cold water and should be sipped 30 minutes before working out, sipped while working out, and up to 45 minutes after working out. Start with 1 scoop when beginning to take this product. As tolerance builds up, take 2 to 3 scoops. Every 2 to 3 months, the consumer should cycle off the product for a full month.

Benefits:
- contains essential amino acids
- low calories and sodium

Negatives:
- must be cycled off for 1 month
- potential side effects

Ingredients:
- BCAAs
- L-Leucine
- L-Glutamine
- L-Arginine
- Testosterone
- Somatomedin
- L-Carnitine

Everyone wants to be fit and look good, but not everyone is motivated to do so. Pre-workouts may encourage a person to work out and build muscle. Purus Labs Muscle Marinade is a pre-workout supplement that might help maximize pumps, give focus, and encourage quick muscle recovery during post-workout. By revamping lost ATP molecules broken down during workout, a person is able to work harder for longer. Muscle Marinade’s Myocellular power and endurance enhancer aims to help with this.

ATP, when broken down, increases the build-up of acidity in the muscles (more specifically, lactic acid). With Muscle Marinades ATP Resynthesizer, ATP molecules are given the fuel needed to reconstruct. Creatine is meant for maximizing pumps and hastening muscle recovery. Creatine increases the amount of water that can be retained in muscles. Since muscles need plenty of water to continue working, this may result in improved performance.

Creatine can cause dehydration, so when taking any supplement containing creatine, drink much water. Less commonly-mentioned side effects that could be caused by Creatine consumption include mood swings, increased stress, digestive problems, and nervousness.

One scoop should not be exceeded. Mix this scoop with a cold glass of water and drink 30-45 minutes before working out. Muscle Marinade may be taken on non-training days for energy and other potentially-beneficial effects.

Benefits:
- may provide energy for workout
- no calories or sugar

Negatives:
- potential side effects
- may cause sleeplessness

Ingredients:
- Ascorbic Acid
- Myocellular Complex
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Vitamin B6, B9, and B12
- L-Leucine

Cellucor R3 Extreme is a post-workout supplement that targets the immune system. Keeping this strong is key to maintaining a healthy body. Tearing muscle during training can compromise the immune system, and the last thing an athlete wants is to be out sick.

Cellucor utilizes potent antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce soreness and boost your post-workout recovery time. To offer the ultimate defense, Larch Arabinogalactan and Beta-1,3 Glucan may work to increase T-cell production for increased immune response. Anti-inflammatory components include N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, quercetin, curcumin, pterostilbene, and hyaluronic acid. Each of these has other unique health benefits. Curcumin, for example, also may help to maximize digestive absorption. Piperine, another ingredient, may make curcumin more bioavailable as well as offer metabolism support. The lipoic acid and vitamin C may work to fight free radicals in the body.

This blend of immunity-boosting ingredients may not sound like your typical post-workout supplement, but this may be even more effective at repairing muscle tissue and reducing soreness by boosting the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Side effects for some of these elements have been known to cause stomach upset, nausea, headache, and diarrhea, but you may have no problems at all. Talk to a health professional if you notice severe symptoms.

You can take a 5-capsule serving of R3 Extreme twice a day. It is not necessary to take with food. It is recommended that it be taken every day for best results – after a workout or right before bed.

Benefits:
- may offer immunity support
- contains potent antioxidants

Vega Sport Pre-Workout Energizer is used for enhancing athletic and mental performance. The company suggests that their product may do these things without the use of creatine, nitric oxide, Beta Alanine, or L-Arginine. Instead, the company has chosen to go with more natural ingredients, using things such as green tea leaves (which contain caffeine), ginseng, and even coconut oil.

Green tea is a healthy substance containing a good supply of caffeine. Ginseng is another form of stimulant that is believed to not only promote energy and vitality, but improve mood by stress relief.  Ginseng and Green tea together can increase metabolic rate, resulting in immediate weight loss. Coconut oil has shown promise in recent studies that it may have an impact on weight reduction, and can potentially help prevent diabetes, thyroid problems, and chronic fatigue.

The caffeine from the green tea leaves and ginseng, may have some side effects. If taken too late in the day, trouble sleeping may occur. Caffeine has been reported causing nervousness, anxiousness, and bitterness in some cases.

Vega suggests taking one scoop 20 minutes prior to working out. Mix with 8 fluid ounces of water.

Benefits:
- all-natural ingredients
- may prevent diabetes

Negatives:
- potential side effects of caffeine
- high calorie and sugar for some

Ingredients:
- Coconut Oil
- Yerba Mate
- Devil’s Claw
- Green Tea
- Ginseng
- Ginger
- Cocuminoids

According to Controlled Labs, White Flood is a cutting edge pre-workout formula that will rev you up for lifting and cardio like no other. Like other pre-workouts, White Flood uses a combination of nitric oxide and Creatine to promote sustained endurance and delay muscle failure. To make this particular product unique, there is an added dose of cocoa bean and caffeine which has health benefits not only associated with building muscle.

Cocoa bean is even recommended by some doctors because there’s a chance that it may lower LDL cholesterol. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, meaning it opens the blood vessels. Nutrient absorption may be improved due to increased blood flow. Caffeine is a metabolic enhancer. It speeds up a person’s metabolism, encouraging weight loss. Energy and focus may be a benefit of caffeine too.

Using Creatine is one of the most debated subjects in body building and sports. The truth is, it can already be found in the body. Dehydration is a risk when taking Creatine without sufficient water intake. Caffeine taken in excess amounts is believed to cause anxiety, unusual sweating, and even dizziness in rare cases.

To assess tolerance level, take ½ a scoop of White Flood mixed with a glass of cold water 30-45 minutes prior to workout. Once tolerance has been assessed, 1 to 2 servings may be used before working out. Controlled Labs suggests that the consumer drinks at least a gallon of water a day and eats a good amount of protein and carbohydrates.

Benefits:
- may “rev” you up for cardio and lifting
- may help reduce LDL cholesterol

Negatives:
- potential side effects

Ingredients:
- Calcium
- Potassium
- Folate
- Selenium
- Eno Food Complex
- Floodurance Complex

Cellucor’s Super Sport Protein is designed to be a high-performance, isolated whey protein supplement to support rapid muscle recovery and growth. The Super Sport Protein and Amino Matrix yields 30g of protein in each serving. Glutamine and the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine have been included, in addition to the whey protein – totaling over 10g per serving.

Whey protein isolate and whey protein hydrolysate are the two derivatives chosen for this supplement. Isolates contain a higher percentage of protein than concentrates, usually being around 90% protein. The hydrolyzed whey protein has been broken down, making it very easy to digest. Whey protein in general is quickly absorbed by the body, getting the amino acids it contains to cells quickly. This may prevent the body from unnecessarily breaking down muscle tissue for energy after an intense workout, which is why Super Sport  is meant to be taken after one. Glutamine is naturally made by the body, and is found abundantly in skeletal muscle. It can become depleted after intense physical strain, and it plays a very important role in muscular repair. The BCAAs are crucial in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, and also carry out repair of muscle tissue. Supplementing for these amino acids may ensure your body is functioning at its peak, and has all the components necessary for maintaining your muscle mass.

Whey protein may also offer some health benefits, in addition to providing a quick supply of protein. Evidence suggests that it supports immune health from its supply of glutamine, which has a vital role in the immune system. It may also support heart health by lowering bad cholesterol. However, be aware that whey protein can have some unwanted effects on the digestive system – and BCAA supplements can cause fatigue.

Super Sport can be taken as much as three times per day, depending on your nutritional requirements. Mix a one-scoop serving into water, milk, or juice, and for best results take in the morning as soon as you get up – or within half an hour after training.

Benefits:
- no fillers
- fast-absorbing protein

Negatives:
- possibility for negative side effects

Ingredients:
- Whey Protein Isolate
- Whey Protein Hydrolysate
- L-Glutamine
- L-Leucine
- L-Isoleucine
- L-Valine
- Natural And Artificial Flavor
- Soy Lecithin
- Sucralose

Lack of motivation is the leading cause of obesity in some people’s opinion. Pre-workout is an excellent way of banishing this problem. Muscle Warfare claims that their Napalm pre-workout product provides “battle raging energy, pumps, size, strength, raw power, speed, and endurance.” The company also uses no Creatine in its product. There are ingredients with themed nicknames for each phase of the workout; the pre-workout, during workout, and recovery. They rely on certain ingredients such as L-Arginine, nitric oxide, and protein.

Nitric oxide and L-Arginine contribute to opening blood vessels, promoting better blood flow. Protein is better known as food for muscles. Protein helps build healthy lean muscle and decreases recovery time. It has also been suggested that protein relieves muscles soreness after working out.

L-Arginine taken in excessive amount has been known to cause mild diarrhea; although, even in large doses, this is uncommon. Make sure to drink a lot of water with protein to help the body absorb it into the system. There have been no serious side effects linked to Nitrous Oxide.

Upon taking Napalm for the first time, try half a scoop mixed in a cold glass of water. Once you’ve found your tolerance level, you may use up to one scoop. Muscle Warfare Strongly suggests that no one exceeds one scoop, and that no one uses more than one scoop per day. After 2-3 months, cycle off the product.

Benefits:
- only 4 calories per serving
- little to no side effects

Negatives:
- may be too potent for some
- must cycle off the product for a month

Ingredients:
- L-Taurine
- Caffeine
- L-Arginine
- Beta Alanine
- BCAAs
- Protein
- Nitric Oxide

Weightlifting can be beneficial for a person’s health, muscles, life, and overall happiness. Pro Lab aims to help increase muscle size, muscle strength and power. It is a popular belief that, with the use of Creatine, a person can accomplish these goals. There’s nothing like a substance in its purest form. This is why Pro Lab offers pure Creatine Monohydrate.

Muscles fatigue when ATP molecules in the body break down. This happens during rigorous exercise. Creatine, which is already produced naturally in the body, can serve as a sort of “fuel” for rebuilding these ATP molecules. Phosphates break away from the Creatine to regenerate ATP; when this happens, energy is given off. The energy given off allows the body to have up to 20 extra seconds of muscle use before fatigue sets in. This is where the phrase “maximizing pumps” applies.

Creatine requires sufficient water intake to be effective. A user that does not consume enough water can  become dehydrated.  Other side effects, not backed by too much research, include digestive problems, mood changes, and headaches.

During the loading – or build-up – phase, take one teaspoon 4 times a day (spread out evenly) mixed with water. For muscle maintenance, take one teaspoon twice a day.

Benefits:
- may rebuild ATP molecules
- may maximize pumps

Negatives:
- known to cause dehydration
- other potential side effects

Ingredients:
-Creatine Monohydrate

AstraVar from Top Secret Nutrition is thought to promote a healthy living style. AstraVar could be classified as an absorption increaser. This is because it triggers processes in the body that promote nutrient absorption. The product’s label states that if taken correctly, absorption of amino acids, vitamins, and glucose will increase, sensitivity of insulin will increase, production of ATP will increase, and blood sugar will decrease.

AstraVar is a plant-based supplement. It is made from Notoginseng root extract and Astragalus root extract. With mild anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, the Astragalus root may benefit the immune system and respiratory tracts. Notoginseng contains many kinds of amino acids and minerals. Many of the ingredients in Notoginseng are the building blocks of adrenal hormones and reproductive hormones like testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. Used in China since old times, these ingredients were known to reduce illness symptoms and pain in some cases (though not scientifically proven).

Notoginseng should not be used by pregnant women, as it may have an effect on hormones. Astragalus root taken in high doses (more than 28 grams) may lower the immune system.

It is suggested that AstraVar be taken with protein workout supplements to benefit with its absorption properties. Take one capsule prior to taking protein.

Benefits:
- may promote nutrient absorption
- may boost immune system

Negatives:
- not to be taken by pregnant women
- potential Astragalus root effect

Ingredients:
- AstraGin
- Notoginseng Root
- Astragalus Root

Cellucor’s D4 Thermal Shock aims to deliver a metabolism boost and enhanced endurance, while providing energy and mental focus. Cellucor claims their formula is safe, natural, and effective. Amla fruit extract may cause a rush of adrenaline without the jittery side effects and also acts as a vasodilator – increasing nutrient uptake by the cells. Caffeine is also a potent stimulant. White willow bark extract contains salicin, an anti-inflammatory that may act to amplify caffeine’s thermogenic properties. Octopamine HCl may help to metabolize fat without breaking down muscle tissue. Yohimbe bark extract may also help to increase blood flow. Evodiamine may increase the body’s metabolism by increasing core body temperature, thus increasing fat burn. Sclareolide and N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine are added for their potential to possibly boost energy levels.

Passion flower extract is added because it may be able to reduce nausea, anxiety, and jitters associated with the stimulants contained in this supplement. Both caffeine and evodiamine are diuretics, so you may have increased urine output while taking D4 Thermal Shock. Make sure you stay hydrated.

A one-capsule serving should be taken in the morning, preferably with food to avoid a possible upset stomach. A second serving can be taken midday once tolerance has been established. It is recommended that D4 Thermal Shock be taken every day for best weight-loss results.

Benefits:
- thermogenic properties may boost fat burn

When the term “anabolic” pops up in a supplement title, the word “steroid” can unfortunately come to mind in today’s society. This is not the case with MRI Anabolic Switch. In reality, “anabolic” just means promoting constructive metabolism, or in simpler terms, having an effect on metabolism. Creatine is the primary ingredient, but is accompanied by an essential amino acid blend. MRI Anabolic Switch is called “the ultimate size formula” as it may enhance performance and help build strong, lean muscle.

Creatine is produced naturally in the body. It gets a bad rep, but mainly from people that don’t know this fact. Creatine can serve as a fuel for muscles. A muscle becomes tired when the ATP molecule is depleting, which happens during a workout. Creatine is able to branch out a phosphate to provide energy and regenerate this important molecule. Larger pumps can be achieved because Creatine extends the time before muscle failure is reached.

It is vital that a person consuming Creatine should drink a lot of water; taking Creatine could result in dehydration. Other side effects that are not proven, but reported nonetheless, consist of behavior changes, anxiety, anxiousness, and an upset stomach.

When taking Anabolic Switch, mix 3 scoops with 8 fl oz of cold water and drink immediately. Take 2 servings a day; one before working out and one after. On non-training days, take one serving in the morning and the other 12 hours later.

Benefits:
- may enhance performance
- may increase pumps

Negatives:
- potential side effects

Ingredients:
- Proprietary Anabolic Creatine Blend
- Proprietary Essential Amino Acid Blend
- CarnoSyn Beta Alanine
- Taurine
- Arginine

FRS Low Cal Energy Drink claims to have several immunity-amping antioxidants, all in a 25-calorie mixture. Catechins is the predominant ingredient in this product that may have energy-raising effects and immunity-boosting powers. Catechins are derived from Green Tea leaves. It is believed that this antioxidant is responsible for Green Tea’s protective qualities. In addition to this ingredient, caffeine and Vitamins B6 and B12 are present.

It has been suggested that vitamin B12 engages proper function of the brain and nervous system, and may assist in the production of blood flow. B6 has been credited to breaking down a harmful substance in the body called homocysteine, which damages blood vessels. Too much B6, however, has been linked to side effects such as photosensitivity, painful intestinal problems, nausea, and heartburn. Caffeine may speed up the metabolism which can be helpful when trying to lose weight, but can also cause increased anxiousness or nervousness.

This energy drink can be taken once a day. It is suggested that a person should consume the drink prior to working out or performing exercise. Directions say shake well because the ingredients may separate and settle.

Benefits:
- focused energy
- contains antioxidants that can boost the immune system

Negatives:
- excessive consumption could cause side effects
- ingredients may settle at bottom

Ingredients:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Thiamin

Creatine is controversial in the muscle-building world when in fact it is already produced naturally in the body. Creatine has been credited to the cause of lean muscle gain, extended endurance, and quick muscle recovery. Beast Sports Nutrition has paid attention to the listed side effects that may be caused by Creatine, especially indigestion. To combat these effects, they have modified Creatine into their own blend called Creature.

Creatine has two potential benefits for the body. First, it allows the muscles to hold extra water. Muscles stay hydrated, and they grow. This could be compared to a plant, though they are biologically different. Creatine is highly bondable to H2O. Therefore, more water consumption is needed when taking it. Secondly, Creatine is believed to increase pumps. When the muscle is used, ATP molecules disassemble and give off acidity (lactic acid). This causes muscle fatigue. Creatine donates a phosphate, and when the phosphate breaks away, energy is given off. This energy supplies the muscle extra time before fatigue sets in.

Creatine is known to cause dehydration. Drink plenty of fluids when consuming this product. Creatine has been linked to indigestion, though Beast Sports Nutrition may have addressed this problem. Creatine may also cause mood swings and aggressiveness.

Take 3 pills prior to working out and 3 pills immediately following workout. Consume with plenty of water. On off days take 3 pills in the morning and 3 pills 12 hours later.

Benefits:
- lean muscle may be gained
- possible chance of faster muscle recovery

Negatives:
- potential side effects
- some dedication needed

Ingredients:
- Creatine Anhydrous
- Creatine Magna Power
- Di-Creatine Malate
- Creatine Gluconate

Cellucor P6 Extreme is designed to target three specific areas in the body. Those three things are a rise in testosterone, prevention of estrogen formation, and blocking testosterone conversion to DHT. Accomplishing this may deliver leaner muscle mass along with enhanced metabolism, energy, and libido levels. Tribulus alatus is a relative of tribulus terrestris, which is commonly used as a natural testosterone supplement. The alatus version may have the same effect, and is one of the key ingredients in P6 Extreme. Other testosterone-enhancing components are the ovine placenta powder, stinging nettle root, and sclareolide. Estrogen formation is prevented by the agaricus bisporous through the inhibition of the enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens. Beta-sitosterol inhibits the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT.

Other ingredients are added for certain unique benefits. Black cohosh may aid in absorption of supplement compounds and may even prevent their breakdown in the liver, making sure you get the maximum intended effect. The wild yam root is added for its possible benefit in lowering cholesterol. Myricetin is an antioxidant with multiple possible health benefits as well.

P6 Extreme can be taken on an empty stomach, but taking with fatty foods will offer the best absorption of the product. It is recommended that it be taken every day, twice a day for maximum results, and may take up to a week before it begins working.

Benefits:
- natural testosterone boosters
- may help lower cholesterol

Negatives:
- may not work right away

Ingredients:
- Ovine Placenta Powder
- Black Cohosh Root Extract
- Agaricus Bisporous Extract
- Beta-Sitosterol

MusclePharm designed this nitric oxide supplement to improve your workout through enhancing muscle pumps, and increasing muscle fullness by maximizing vasodilation through its Hybrid N.O. formula. Agmatine sulfate is a form of arginine that may increase levels of endogenous nitric oxide synthase, which synthesizes nitric oxide. Citrulline malate is a precursor to arginine, which is used by the body in the process of making nitric oxide. It also may decrease muscle soreness due to its involvement in detoxification of ammonia. GlycoCarn is another potential nitric-oxide booster that also plays a role in creatine formation in the body. Creatine is stored in the muscles and helps to supply ATP, a major energy source for cellular function. The beet root extract and hawthorn berry may also together keep nitric oxide levels high and may reduce tolerance for it in the body.

All these components have been added for their potential ability to raise the levels of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide acts as a vasodilator, and this causes increased blood flow from the expanded blood-vessel walls. More blood flow equals more energy because oxygen and the other energy sources carried in the blood get to their destination more quickly and more often. When you’re in the gym, this equates to maximum muscle pumps.

Despite all these possible benefits, it’s important to note that agmatine and beet root extract may cause gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and nausea. Hawthorn can also cause this, along with additional potential side effects like headache and dizziness.

Take a four capsule serving of Hybrid N.O. about half an hour before beginning workout for best results. It is recommended that this dose not be exceeded in one day.

Benefits:
- increased blood and oxygen flow
- may increase muscle pumps

Negatives:
- may cause digestive issues

Ingredients:
- Agmatine Sulfate
- Citrulline Malate
- GlycoCarn
- Carnitine HCl
- Beet Root Extract
- Hawthorn Berry Powder
- Rutaecarpine
- Gelatin

MRI Black Powder has listed all the bonuses one may get from using their product. These bonuses include strength, intensity, stamina, energy, size, recovery, focus, pumps, and power. The company prides themselves with the NOS uptake and how effectively it responds. MRI has even ventured to say that the NOS hyper-dilates the blood vessels for extreme nutrient absorption. Nitric oxide and Creatine are the top ingredients in this powder, but other nutrients are supplied as well for muscle recovery and energy.

Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, or as MRI calls it, a hyper-dilator. This implies that the body’s blood vessels widen to increase blood flow. In turn, more nutrients are able to travel faster through the body and be absorbed quicker. Creatine is popularly used in pre-workout supplements. It promotes water storage in the muscles. This allows the body builder to have more stamina and increased pumps.

There has been no conclusive evidence to show that nitric oxide has any negative effect on the body. Creatine may cause dehydration if the consumer does not drink enough water while taking this product.

Add 1 scoop to 8-16 fl oz of cold water and drink immediately. This product is only to be used on training days. It works best on an empty stomach taken up to 30 minutes before working out.

Benefits:
- NOS hyper-dilation
- may help build lean muscle

Negatives:
- must be taken on empty stomach
- potential side effects of Creatine

Ingredients:
- L-Arginine
- Creatine Anyhydrous
- Carnosyn Beta-Alanine
- Vitamin B Complex
- Caffeine
- Taurine

With only 3 ingredients, muscle growth, speedy recovery, and heightened endurance may be achieved. These 3 ingredients are found in a product developed by Optimum Nutrition called CGT-10. A body builder and/or athlete can benefit from the effects of Creatine, L-Glutamine, and Taurine.

The 3 ingredients work in unison. Creatine is believed to raise endurance by providing the ATP molecules (what muscles use for energy) with fuel to stay active. L-Glutamine supposedly boosts the immune system and influences cellular hydration. In a hospital study, L-Glutamine was given daily to critically-ill patients. The majority of patients showed a reduction in symptoms. The mortality rate was reduced as well. Taurine may promote transportation of proteins and other nutrients.

Both L-Glutamine and Taurine have shown little to no side effects when taken continuously, as the body already makes these substances naturally. Creatine has been known to cause dehydration; plenty of water is a must when taking Creatine.

Mix 2 teaspoons of CGT-10 with 4 fl oz of cold water and take 45-60 minutes before exercise. Take one additional serving immediately following training.

Benefits:
- may boost immune system
- low calories per serving

Negatives:
- potential dehydration effect

Ingredients:
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Taurine
- L-Glutamine
- Inulin

EAS Phos Force is a pre-workout dietary supplement for those looking to build lean muscle. EAS made sure to test this product for banned substances. It is certified and completely legal in all sports. Instead of using nitric oxide, Phos Force contains caffeine meant to improve both energy and focus. It is packed with carbs for fast absorption and proper nutrition.

Creatine is used in this product. It allows the muscles in the human body to hold more water. This can assist with increasing endurance and delaying muscle fatigue. A full 34 grams of carbohydrates are thrown into the formula. Creatine should be taken with food to ensure quick absorption into the body. Caffeine is known for encouraging alertness, focus, speeding up metabolism, and may even improve digestive function.

While the 34 grams of carbs do quicken the absorption process, ingesting that many carbs in a dietary supplement may be a contradiction to some. If losing weight is the idea, cutting down on carbs may be more logical – according to some diet plans. Caffeine may increase metabolic function, but has been connected to causing upset stomach, nervousness, and restlessness.

Take one serving 60-30 minutes prior to workout mixed with 8 fl oz of water. Up to 2 servings per day may be taken if desired.

Benefits:
- certified against banned substances
- may promote building muscle

Negatives:
- loaded with carbs
- loaded with sugar

Ingredients:
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Taurine
- Beta Alanine
- Caffeine

NO3 Chrome by Cellucor is a pre-workout supplement with one specific thought in mind: more muscle pumps. Each ingredient works in some way to promote vasodilation for increased blood and oxygen flow. Arginine nitrate, citrulline malate, and Pycnogenol all may work to increase nitric oxide production, which causes the veins to enlarge. L-Norvaline may keep the body from limiting nitric oxide levels, while vitamin C may also keep the body’s tolerance low, when taking them as supplements. This allows them to have maximum effect to get you that extra pump in the gym. Lastly, grape seed extract is an antioxidant that may help to prevent the free radical effects of increased nitric oxide.

It is important to note that this product should not be combined with other supplements that also contain nitrate products. Also, be aware if you’re taking any medications that may contain nitrates. However, Cellucor claims NO3 Chrome stacks very well with other pre-workout supplements, amplifying their effects. Due to the increased blood flow, the nutrients in the blood get to their destination more efficiently, giving you the energy boost to stay strong throughout your workout.

NO3 Chrome should be taken on an empty stomach an hour to an hour and a half before workout for best results. No more than one 3-capsule serving should be taken at a time, but the dose may be increased up to 6 capsules based on body weight – once tolerance has been established. This product should be taken for up to 8 weeks, and then a 4-week break is recommended.

Benefits:
- ultimate nitric oxide boost
- contains potent antioxidant

Negatives:
- need to avoid certain products and medications when taking
- have to cycle on and off

Ingredients:
- Vitamin C
- Calcium
- L-Arginine Nitrate
- L-Citrulline Malate
- Grape Seed Extract
- Pycnogenol
- L-Norvaline
- Gelatin
- Magnesium Stearate

NeoVar from Applied Nutriceuticals is a supplement to be taken in pill form that is meant to speed up muscle recovery. The company claims that Neovar will make “muscles become fuller, vascular, and more defined.” There are two major ingredients included in the capsules centered around muscle repair, and they are Creatine and Bioprene.

Creatine is meant to increase the amount of water that is retained in the body’s muscle fibers. It is absorbed into the body and is highly water bondable. A large amount of water must be taken with Creatine to avoid dehydration symptoms. Bioprene supposedly assists the body with the absorption of nutrients, though this is not strongly supported by research. This effect comes in handy during post-workout when food is consumed.

Ultimate Nutrition Joint Renew is a product aimed at helping people with their joint problems. Often, people’s joints can begin to become painful as they age. This can sometimes be alleviated through supplements.

As is common among joint supplements, they use glucosamine as one of their main ingredients. Glucosamine is already found in the body, but this does not always guaranteed that the body produces enough of it. Many use glucosamine supplements to try and speed up proteoglycan production and collagen, both important parts of healthy joints. It also may help normalize the metabolism of the cartilage, helping to prevent the cartilage from breaking down.

Another key ingredient is MSM. This is an organic sulfur that can be found in many different foods including fruits and grains and dairy products – as well as in certain meats and vegetables. MSM may help our bodies maintain connective tissue structure and add strength to such areas. The sulfur has also been given credit for helping the body maintain health in a variety of other ways.

Vitamin C is always an important part of a person’s daily intake of nutrition. It is known to provide excellent support to the immune system, as well as performing as an antioxidant. Ridding the joints of harmful toxins may be another way toward joint health.

Users are directed to take six Joint Renew capsules each day, preferably three each morning and three every evening for best results.

Benefits:
- may improve cartilage health
- may help get rid of toxins

Negatives:
- contains few ingredients
- requires daily usage

Ingredients:
- Vitamin C

Nutrex VITRIX is a product whose main goal is to strengthen a man’s libido. They say that their ingredients offer superiority over many others, and that their capsules can be absorbed quickly by the body, as they are liquid capsules.

They include a form of the herb Tribulus Terrestris called German Tribulus Terrestris, liquified. Tribulus Terrestris is one of the most widely-used herbs when it comes to trying to boost testosterone levels in men. Countless men seek out this herb as they enter into their 40s and 50s, with many beginning to take it even as they remain in their 30s. Over time, if testosterone levels can be raised again, men may see their sexual inclination begin to return. It may also hasten hair loss, provide support for the health of teeth, and create more energy and vitality within the body.

Many formulas combine Tribulus Terrestris with Tongkat Ali, just like this formula does. This is because Tongkat Ali is known to accomplish many of the same things as Tribulus Terrestris, although in a different way. Using both of these may give men a better chance at raising their sex hormone levels.

They try to address the libido in another way as well, and that is by including Horny Goat Weed. This popular herbal extract is thought to stimulate sexual drive and help to allow more blood to flow into erections. This may help men who are struggling with erectile dysfunction.

Users are directed to take six liquid capsules one time a day, preferably between two meals. The company recommends taking them one hour before any activity that requires physical intensity – workouts or sexual activity.

Benefits:
- may increase the libido
- may boost testosterone levels

Negatives:
- short list of active ingredients
- may require some dedication

Ingredients:
- Liquified German Tribulus Terrestris
- Vitex Agnus Castus
- Avena Sativa

This, together with Horny Goat Weed, may provide an environment rich for helping sexual desire. They also may work together to provide better blood flow into the penis, making erections stronger and easier to maintain.

Tribulus Terrestris and Maca are another popular duo that can often be seen in the male-enhancement market. This is due to their presumed effectiveness at raising testosterone levels in men, when used over time. It is widely accepted that the loss of testosterone has a direct effect on the libido of men – as well as a number of other changes that are often not wanted.

By including Saw Palmetto, the formula takes a stab at addressing prostate issues, especially enlarged prostates. Countless men experience problems with their prostate as they age, and there may be no more popular herb for addressing this than Saw Palmetto. It is known to ease a number of symptoms, including nighttime urination and stop-start urination – among others.

It aims to improve sexual drive, help with erectile function, and help men gain more endurance during sexual intercourse. It also contains ingredients that are often used to help maintain the health of the prostate.

Many of the usual ingredients are here. The big names are Yohimbe and Horny Goat Weed in terms of aphrodisiacs that are known to be potent when high-grade ingredients are used. They are known to open up the penis to allow a proper amount of blood to flow into it, resulting in better, stronger erections. While both are typically considered to be safe, users must use caution when taking supplements that contain Yohimbe. It can be very powerful and people who are sensitive to stimulants might feel uncomfortable taking it. For this reason, it is recommended to speak to a doctor if you are considering Yohimbe intake.

Both Maca and Tribulus Terrestris are used to regulate sexual hormones in men. They may boost testosterone levels, often resulting in increased sex drive – as well as other benefits regarding masculinity. These two herbal extracts are also known to improve mood and overall vitality and muscle growth.

Some of the other ingredients in the formula are regarded as being useful in helping keep the prostate healthy. Zinc, Stinging Nettle, and Pumpkin Seed Extract are often used in such supplements.

Modern BCAA contains 10g of amino acids per serving, micronized to promote maximum absorption by the body. Their Proprietary Blend consists of an 8:1:1 ratio of leucine, isoleucine, and valine, the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Leucine is added in the highest amount because it is believed to be most responsible for stimulating one of the anabolic pathways leading to increase in muscle cell size and protein synthesis. Sustamine, the ingredient known as L-Alanyl-LGlutamine, is more water soluble and has better stability than free L-glutamine. This may result in higher levels of blood glutamine than when using the free form, allowing more glutamine to be available to the muscular system. Glutamine helps to supply nitrogen and carbon to the cells, especially during time of extreme physical stress, promoting cellular repair.

Modern BCAA strives to offer you the best BCAA product to get you the muscle building and recovery support you need for your workouts. The electrolyte blend seems to be a bonus, especially as this product is meant to be taken during training. There are some minor side effects associated with taking BCAAs, though you may have no issues at all.

One serving of two scoops in a large glass of water should be rigorously shaken for half a minute for best results. It is intended to be sipped throughout training, although additional servings can be taken post-workout or on non-training days for an amino boost.

Benefits:
- adds electrolytes
- very few fillers

Negatives:
- minor side effects may occur

Ingredients:
- L-Leucine
- L-Isoleucine
- L-Valine
- L-Alanyl-LGlutamine
- Sodium Citrate
- Potassium Chloride
- Citric Acid

BPI Sports 1.M.R Powder stands for One More Rep and this product aims to get you just that with their concentrated pre-workout powder. The Pre-Workout 1MR Energy and Pump Matrix contains a special blend of ingredients all specifically designed toward making each workout your best workout.

Arginine AKG is known to increase nitric oxide levels in the body. Nitric oxide causes vasodilation, allowing for increased blood flow to every part of the body, including the muscles. This should result in more nutrients and oxygen being supplied to your muscles, preventing them from tiring out. Beta-alanine also contributes to this by boosting carnosine stores in the muscles, which help to regulate pH levels, keeping lactic acid production in check. The addition of creatine attempts to ensure your muscles don’t run out of their share of energy supplies as well.

Pure caffeine anhydrous – along with a few of the botanical ingredients – all work toward providing the energy rush to keep you going strong throughout your workout, while the rest provide various health benefits. Combine all these together, and you may get exactly what 1MR promises: that extra rep you’ve been working toward.

All you need is a one-scoop serving per day taken about twenty minutes before starting a workout, blended with a small glass of cold water. It is recommended that no more than one serving be consumed per day, and that nothing be eaten for an hour after taking. 1MR should not be taken for more than 8 weeks.

Benefits:
- claims it has great flavor
- gets you pre-workout energy fast

Negatives:
- may react with some medications

MusclePharm BCAA 3:1:2 was made specifically for the purpose of promoting muscle maintenance and muscular development by providing you with fast-absorbing branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). This product contains 100% pharmaceutical-grade BCAAs, which are three of the essential amino acids leucine, valine, and isoleucine. MusclePharm has patented this 3:1:2 ratio just for this BCAA supplement. It is designed to release specific amounts of each one both before and after training. BCAAs may be the most efficient in promoting the repair of muscle tissue, thus preventing muscle breakdown. They may even help to incite muscle protein synthesis, allowing you to gain muscle mass.

Supplementing for BCAAs may ensure that the body has access to as much of these key building blocks as it needs when it is under the physical stress of a workout. The side effects associated with taking BCAAS are tiredness and sudden loss of coordination, so be careful about taking too much. You don’t want to slow down your performance in the gym by overloading your system on these basic protein structures.

One serving of eight capsules can be taken anywhere from one to three times per day, but it is recommended this dose not be exceeded. It should be taken in between meals and at least half an hour before a workout – or directly after one.

Benefits:

Performance Glutamine by S.A.N. chose only pure Japanese pharmaceutical grade glutamine to provide you with glutamine’s potential muscle-building benefits. Glutamine is synthesized in the muscles and made naturally by the body. It is supplied to cells that need it by being carried through the bloodstream. Glutamine is vital in supplying them with carbon and nitrogen for fueling protein repair and synthesis. This amino acid is very active during times of physical stress and can become depleted quickly, potentially causing the body to degrade muscle protein. Glutamine supplements aim to ensure your muscles are stocked with the tools it needs to prevent muscle tissue breakdown and get through the recovery process as quickly as possible.

Glutamine has many other benefits as well. It is sometimes used to alleviate symptoms of diseases affecting the digestive system, so it may play a role in promoting intestinal health. It is also used to improve mood, and may also support immune health.

Depending on your sensitivity to glutamine, there may be some side effects but it is generally considered to be safe by many experts.

A one-teaspoon serving should be taken each day with a meal or mixed with a protein shake. Performance Glutamine should be kept away from heat and protected from direct sunlight.

Benefits:
- may replenish natural glutamine stores

Negatives:
- may cause minor side effects

Ingredients:
- L-Glutamine
- NO Yeast
- Corn
- Wheat
- Sugar
- Salt

Universal Torrent is designed to trigger new muscle growth and provide anabolic support post workout. Torrent works to make the most out of the anabolic “window of opportunity” that may exist after a tough workout session. During this time, muscle protein synthesis may be able to reach its peak with the right stimulation. Directly after a workout, glycogen stores are depleted and the body enters a catabolic phase as well. The muscle mass activators in Torrent are intended to prevent your muscles going into this catabolic stage of breaking down muscle fibers for nutrients, and instead may help to trigger new muscle growth. It does this by supplying the body with the nutrients it needs.

The whey protein in Torrent has been hydrolyzed so that it can be easily absorbed by the body. Leucine may be one of the most muscle-synthesis triggering amino acids, and it is added in a variety of forms. Creatine has been added as well to replenish energy stores. A special blend of carbohydrates they call the Osmosulin Matrix may provide the glycogen replenishment necessary for your body to recover quickly.

Keep in mind that sometimes creatine can be hard on the digestive system, causing bloating and stomach aches. There are many benefits from taking whey protein, as it may support heart and immune health – while also providing a generous source of amino acids for building healthy muscle tissue.

One serving size is three scoops, and should be mixed with a large glass of cold liquid. It is suggested that consuming within half an hour after a workout will get the best results.

Benefits:
- carbohydrate boost for glycogen support
- low in fat

Negatives:
- may have to take a lot at one time
- minor negative side effects possible

Ingredients:
- Leucine
- Taurine
- Glutamine AKG
- L-Phenylalanine
- Citrulline Malate
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Tri-Methyl Glycine
- D-Glucose

BPI Sports claims BLOX contains the latest technology in amino acid supplementation. Their formula of silk amino acids may have the pro-anabolic effect you’ve been waiting for. BLOX claims only five silk amino acids have shown to be the most promising when it comes to muscular endurance and muscle enlargement.

These five silk amino acids are alanine, glycine, serine, valine, and threonine. Silk amino acids are derived from silk protein, also known as sericin. Sericin is a gel-like protein that binds the filaments in silk. It is widely used in hair and cosmetic products for its softening and strengthening abilities. These five amino acids may be present in sericin in the highest concentrations. It is this specific ratio that could be the reason silk amino acids may be more effective in promoting muscle recovery after workouts.

Even though these amino acids are derived from silk, they still perform the same functions in the body as amino acids derived from other sources. For this reason, there still may be the potential for minor side effects from having too much of a particular amino acid in your system.

Make sure ice cold water is used when mixing a one scoop serving of BLOX for workouts. In the morning, on an empty stomach is recommended if you want to take when you’re not working out.

Benefits:
- some experts say that silk amino acids may be better
- may help with muscle recovery

Negatives:
- potential for minor side effects
- dedication may be required

Ingredients:
- Alanine
- Glycine
- Serine

Hyper FX by BSN was created to be an intense pre-workout supplement for amplifying energy and supplying a power surge during training time. Hyper FX uses three special blends to provide you with the results you need.

The Neuro Power Composite contains ingredients like pure caffeine anhydrous and bitter orange extract to stimulate your system and give you the mental boost you need to focus – and the energy to intensify your workout.

The Myogenic Endura Infusion combines Peak ATP with beta-alanine and betaine, which may provide extended muscular endurance and strength. These components may work to prevent lactic acid build up and keep the muscle cells supplied with energy so they don’t tire out.

The Shock Force Spectrum contains Vitamin D, aspartic acid, and magnesium oxide, which all may support muscle growth – and may even offer a testosterone boost.

Hyper FX is a well-rounded pre-workout supplement, offering fat-burning support with ingredients that may have a thermogenic effect in the body. Red and black pepper both may stimulate metabolism by the heat production (thermogenesis) they cause in the body when they are eaten. Hyper FX offers prolonged muscular endurance with a mental energy boost along with it. It is also thought to be safe for competing athletes, as this product is geranium free. There is always the possibility for minor side effects from some of the ingredients, depending on your body’s sensitivity to them. Avoid taking caffeine a few hours before sleeping to avert possible insomnia.

About forty-five minutes prior to a workout, take a one serving scoop of Hyper FX mixed with a few ounces of water on an empty stomach. If you want to try a second scoop, it’s recommended you wait four hours after taking the first serving, and do not exceed more than two scoops per day.

Benefits:
- may provide prolonged mental and physical endurance

Elite Casein by Dymatize offers more than just casein protein. It also contains a proprietary enzyme blend, Zytrix, a blend of protease, lactase, and lipase. These are digestive enzymes that break down protein, lactose, and lipids, respectively. Adding these enzymes may increase the absorption rate of the protein blend, which is made up of micellar casein and milk protein concentrate. Casein is one of the main proteins found in milk. Micellar casein is very close to casein in its natural form. Milk protein can also refer to casein in its natural form. Casein molecules conglomerate together in water, forming micelles. This form retains some of the nutrients like phosphorous and calcium. The benefit to the natural form of casein is that it’s easier on our systems. It still acts as a slow-digesting protein because of the pH sensitivity of casein. In the low-pH environment of our stomachs, it clots together, rather than breaking down immediately. In this way, all the amino acids it has to offer are slowly absorbed by the intestines, allowing for greater retention of these muscle-building nutrients.

The slow-digesting nature of casein is what makes it important to bodybuilders. It is commonly thought that taking casein before bed helps to repair muscle tissue overnight, and it is also commonly used in this way. It can be beneficial to take at the beginning of the day too, supplying your body with long-lasting energy as you go about your activities before getting to a workout. Taking casein, although generally recognized as safe, may affect blood pressure; it is used to treat hypertension.

One scoop contains one serving of 24g of protein. It can be mixed with water, milk, or another type of fluid. Casein is milk derived and some people are allergic to dairy products.

Benefits:
- low in sugar and fat
- added digestive enzymes

Negatives:
- may cause side effects

Ingredients:
- Protein Blend
- Natural And Artificial Flavor
- Potassium Chloride
- Sucralose
- Lecithin
- Guar Gum
- Xanthan Gum

This creatine product by Betancourt Nutrition aims to cover strength, muscularity, insulin, and joint support all in one. The strength support comes from the three types of creatine, which are meant to provide energy at three levels. Creatine is made naturally in the body and gets converted into ATP during intense physical exertion. The different creatine derivatives are meant to aid in the different steps of this conversion process. Glycerol and tyrosine are found in the Muscle Volumizing Complex. Glycerol helps the muscles to absorb water helping them to stay hydrated, and tyrosine may be beneficial in helping the body deal with physical stress. The insulin support is offered by glucose polymers, waxy maize, leucine nitrate, and Banaba extract. Glucose polymers get glucose to cells fast to recover normal glycogen levels during training. Waxy maize raises blood glucose over time because it is a slow-digesting carbohydrate. Leucine nitrate may help to support blood flow while glucose is transported to cells in the blood. The Banaba may help to maintain normal blood sugar levels, which may aid the rate the added glucose is taken up by the cells. Finally, the joint-support complex may supply the body with the ingredients needed to make the cartilage that surrounds joints.

All four of these support complexes make up the Phosflex Blend, and 45,000mg of the blend is contained in one serving. There may be the possibility for side effects, though in the amounts given in this product, they are “GRAS” (generally recognized as safe). Glucosamine sulfate, one of the joint health components, can be derived from the shells of certain shellfish. The product label contains an allergy warning to shellfish.

Stay hydrated while taking this product. If you take this product every day, it’s important to cycle off for two weeks after every six weeks of taking. This may maximize the benefits from each complex. Combine one scoop with water and drink before, during, or after a workout.

Benefits:
- zero sugar

ISO-100 by Dymatize is a protein powder comprised of 100% whey protein isolate. ISO-100 has taken its whey protein isolate, hydrolyzed and instantized it, putting it through 5 quality controlled steps. Whey protein isolate usually has little to no lactose, and very little fat as well. ISO-100 contains zero fat and zero lactose. Hydrolyzing the whey protein breaks it up into smaller chains. This makes it easily digested and absorbed by the body. ISO-100 claims to be the most easily-assimilated and bioavailable source of protein you’ll find. Each serving offers 24g of protein, and is 86% protein by weight. Instantizing the whey protein is meant to make it more mixable in fluid. Whey protein isolate has the highest concentration of all the whey protein derivatives, and is considered to be the most pure.

Whey protein offers many benefits as a protein supplement. It may help boost your immune system, help support heart health, and provide a substantial amount of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). These BCAAs are specifically leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids may be the most efficient at supplying your body with muscle synthesis and repair. Taking whey protein may cause wanted side effects like decreased appetite, but it may also carry unwanted side effects on the digestive system – according to some experts.

ISO-100 comes in many flavors to choose from. One serving is only one scoop, but adding one heaping scoop to a glass of your preferred beverage and mixing for several seconds is recommended.

Benefits:
- several flavors to choose from
- no fat or lactose

Negatives:
- may have negative side effects

Ingredients:
- Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolates
- Natural And Artificial Flavors
- Sodium Chloride
- Soybean Oil
- Sucralose

Re-Con by MusclePharm aims to refuel, replenish, and rebuild your muscles with their 3:1:2 branched chain amino acid (BCAA) ratio in this post-workout supplement. Re-Con combines seven stages of recovery, each one a blend of supportive ingredients.

The first stage is Replenishment, with a Carb-Max blend that renews glycogen stores to provide sustained fuel for cells. The next stage is Rebuild, providing the BCAAs and some extra essential amino acids (EAAs) to support immediate anabolic muscle growth post-training. The third stage – Recovery – provides glutamine, which is used by the body to prevent muscle tissue breakdown.

Recharge is the next stage, with components that support healthy cortisol ranges and Vitamin C for its anti-stress properties. Refuel is stage five and offers beta-alanine and citrulline malate to increase muscular endurance for next time, and to allow maximum cellular energy replenishment from increased blood flow. The next stage is Reload, and it offers a blend of ingredients that may promote nutrient delivery for increased muscle growth. The last stage is Regenerate, and is a botanical blend meant to enhance muscle recovery and detoxify cells.

These stages aim to offer quite a “re-con” from an intense workout. This supplement really aims to cover everything in just one serving of their potent muscle supporting blend. Some of these ingredients may cause side effects, especially beta-alanine; it is known to cause tingling sensations in the skin the first few times your body is exposed to it.

For an extreme workout, use a full scoop, mixed with a glass of water immediately after working out. For an average workout day, only half a scoop is necessary to be taken directly after workout. Those with certain medical conditions may need to avoid this product.

Ripped Freak by PharmFreak is a pre-workout supplement designed to live up to its name with a concentrated formula, aiming to give you the strength, energy, and the intensity you need to maximize your workouts.

Pure caffeine anhydrous is partnered with TyroPure Instantized L-Tyrosine, which acts to enhance the adrenaline rush provided by caffeine. This may boost mental alertness and physical stamina. Oleuropein aglycone may trigger the release of adrenaline by the body, stimulating the nervous system even further. Beta-alanine may work to elevate carnosine levels, which in turn may enhance muscular endurance levels. Arginine AKG may bump up nitric oxide levels, leading to increased blood flow. AstraGin, a patented combination of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceous, is intended to increase the bioavailability and absorption of some of the ingredients.

PharmFreak stresses the importance of using this product very carefully due to its potency. Avoid consuming other products that contain stimulants when you take Ripped Freak. Depending on your individual sensitivity, any one of the main ingredients can have some side effects. Caffeine and the side effects associated with it are the most well-known. This product may provide you with exceptional mental focus and the physical fortitude to push the limits of your abilities to a whole new level.

One two-scoop serving is to be mixed with a glass of cold water and consumed about half an hour before beginning workout. It is highly recommended to start out with one scoop to test sensitivity and tolerance to the dosing.

AMINOx by BSN wants to unleash your body’s anabolic potential with their post-workout recovery supplement stacked with 10g of amino acids per serving. It is specifically micronized for maximum absorption. The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) isoleucine, leucine, and valine are included in the blend for their muscle-building potential. The BCAAS are metabolized in the muscle rather than the liver, which may make them more readily accessible by the muscle cells when protein synthesis or recovery is needed. Citrulline is added because it may boost nitric oxide levels in the blood, which causes blood flow to increase. This also increases oxygen and nutrient flow to the tissues. Taurine can also contribute to increased blood flow. Alanine may reduce muscle tiredness and help glucose get converted into energy.

These key amino acids all work together to supply your body with muscle-boosting ingredients that can maximize your potential in the gym over time. It may take three to twelve weeks before optimal results are activated by AMINOx. It is important to cycle off this product for four weeks after twelve weeks of use. There is the potential for side effects with amino-acid supplementation, and certain medications may cause unwanted reactions.

A one scoop serving of AMINOx should be taken with water, and it is recommended that drinking almost one gallon of water a day is necessary to get the best results.

Benefits:
- caffeine and sugar free
- mixes easily with no clumping

Negatives:
- may react with some medications
- have to cycle on and off

Ingredients:
- L-Leucine
- L-Valine
- L-Isoleucine

Elite Recoup by Dymatize offers you the key amino acids considered by many to be best for supplementing by bodybuilders and athletes. Elite Recoup contains the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) isoleucine, leucine, and valine. Glutamine is also added for its important role during times of bodily stress. The role of BCAAs in the body is to help stimulate protein rebuilding in the muscles and keep muscle tissue from breaking down. Supplementing them may enhance your training or workout time by keeping your body supplied with as many BCAAs as possible. The same reasoning for glutamine applies. Even though the body can make glutamine on its own, sometimes a deficit can occur – especially during times of intense physical stress. Ensuring the body’s stores of glutamine remain adequate may keep your energy up. Elite Recoup is not only an amino acid supplement, but it provides a helping of six B vitamins as well – along with your daily recommended dose of Vitamin C.

It is suggested that Vitamin C plays a very important role in keeping up the immune system and a variety of other bodily functions. B vitamins help to metabolize food, boost mood, energy, concentration, and memory. There are many benefits to making sure your body is not Vitamin-B deficient. However, there may be some minor side effects to overdosing on B vitamins. Other side effects that may occur from taking this product could be lack of coordination and tiredness. These are known possible side effects of taking BCAAs.

One serving is labeled as one heaping scoop of Elite Recoup and is directed to be mixed with a glass of water. However, if you weigh more than 150 pounds or take post workout, more than one scoop is recommended.

Benefits:
- contains B and C vitamins
- contains amino acids

Negatives:
- may have minor side effects
- may interfere with multivitamins

Ingredients:
- BCAAs
- Glutamine
- Citrulline Malate
- Hydrogen Citrate
- Citric Acid
- Acesulfame Potassium
- Sucralose

Beta-Cret by ProMera Sports labels itself as a pre-workout intensifier that is micro-concentrated for maximum results. Beta-Cret contains creatine HCl which may have fewer side effects on the digestive system than creatine monohydrate. Regardless of the form you take, creatine is stored in the muscles and converted to phosphocreatine when the body is in need of energy. Supplementing for creatine may increase your body’s energy output, and thus your workout performance. Beta-alanine is another key ingredient, and it contributes to the synthesis of carnosine, which works as an intracellular buffer. This means it helps to stabilize the pH of the muscles, which function best at a certain pH range. This also prevents the build-up of lactic acid, allowing the muscles to have a longer contractile ability – and for you to have a longer workout. Caffeine is the next major ingredient provided by Beta-Cret, supplying you an energy kick to keep your workout going strong.

Creatine is also sometimes used to gain weight. It causes the muscles to draw water from the rest of the body, so it is also important to stay hydrated when taking products with creatine. Beta-alanine is considered to be safe, and no known side effects. Caffeine is also considered safe, but with a few well-known possible side effects on the body.

A one-scoop serving should be mixed with a small glass of fluid fifteen minutes before a workout. It is important to assess your tolerance level of this product.

Benefits:
- may be an effective pre-workout energy boost
- may help with building muscle

Negatives:
- may need to stay hydrated
- some are very sensitive to caffeine

Ingredients:
- Taurine
- Beta-Alanine
- Creatine HCL
- L-Tyrosine
- Caffeine Anhydrous
- L-Histidine
- N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
- Silicone Dioxide
- Natural And Artificial Flavors

MHP T-Bomb II aims to offer maximum strength testosterone optimization, production, and utilization while lowering estrogen at the same time. T-Bomb II’s Five Phase Hormone Optimizing Blend works toward boosting natural testosterone levels by preventing testosterone from converting to estrogen and blocking estrogen receptors. This may support free testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone with an anabolic effect, which is why strength trainers seek to increase it. It may increase muscle mass and protein synthesis, and may help the body get rid of fat. T-Bomb II also may prevent testosterone from converting to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), another androgen sex hormone, to keep regular testosterone levels high. Tribulus Terrestris is included for this reason, and this herbal extract may also increase sexual desire in men.

Both estrogen and DHT have important functions in both males and females. This product may promote increased levels of free testosterone leading to positive effects when it comes to muscle building and strength, but negative effects if it leads to unhealthy levels of these other important hormones this product aims to restrict.

T-Bomb II can be taken with or without food, and MHP recommends two servings be taken a day. If you’re taking any medications, talk to a health professional to find out if it will react with T-Bomb II.

Benefits:
- boosts testosterone
- may increase muscle mass and strength

Negatives:
- not for those with certain medical conditions
- may interfere with normal hormonal secretions

Ingredients:
- Tribulus Terrestris
- Fenugreek Extract
- Tongkat Ali Extract
- Red Clover Extract
- Chrysin

Magnum Nutraceuticals Heat Accelerated is designed to be a high-strength stimulant blend to help you burn fat. A total of thirty ingredients are added, all designed to create a thermogenic effect in the body. Some of them may have natural fat-burning abilities, and some may be natural stimulants. These effects may help to raise the body’s core temperature, which may promote fat loss. Some of these ingredients are also adaptogens, which may support body fat reduction as well. Adaptogens have the bonus of being anti-oxidants, supporting immune health, and the endocrine system, and help the body deal with stress factors. This product may enhance your metabolism and burn fat at the same time.

The WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) has a ban on an ingredient that is sometimes listed as geranium extract, which this product contains. If you’re competing in a tested sporting event, you may need to check with the rules before using Heat Accelerated.

It’s possible that due to the sudden possible change in your body composition or fat loss, a hormonal imbalance can occur that tends to give users of fat burners a “funny feeling”. Heat Accelerated claims the added adaptogens in their product can help to regulate this and support hormone balance. Heat Accelerated also claims that despite the caffeine content, you should not experience any jitters or crash.

Two servings a day are recommended on both workout and non-workout days. Take a serving fifteen minutes before breakfast. For the second serving, take it fifteen minutes before training or thirty minutes before lunch when not training.

Benefits:
- energy booster and fat burner

ON claims their Platinum Hydrobuilder is the advanced all-in-one protein supplement you’ve been looking for to get optimum recovery and rebuilding of muscle size, strength, and power. This protein mix boasts a Creaprep protein complex that delivers in stages: 5g of micronized Creapure creatine monohydrate, 2.5g BetaPower natural betaine, 2g of micronized amino acid matrix, and even an enzyme complex.

The Creaprep protein blend includes both hydrolyzed whey protein isolate and concentrate – and hydrolyzed egg albumen. Hydrolyzed means they are broken down into small peptide chains, and this makes them very easily digested, getting amino acids to your muscles quickly. The whey protein concentrate takes a little longer, and the micellar casein is very slowly digested, allowing amino acids to be absorbed over time. This provides lasting energy for your body. Next, the creatine may ensure your muscles have an adequate supply of creatine to convert to ATP for cellular energy. Betaine may improve energy and strength levels, while the amino acid matrix provides an added boost of muscle-building components.

The enzyme complex of beet root fiber, amylase, protease, cellulase, lactase, and lipase may all work to aid in the digestion of these protein and amino acid complexes.

Negative side effects can arise from allergies to betaine or some of the milk protein derivatives. Also, some experts say that it is inconclusive whether taking creatine has any effect. It’s probably worth it to the bodybuilder to make sure muscles stores stay high, but since it is naturally made by the body, only so much creatine can be processed into energy at a time.

Platinum Hydrobuilder is said to be “instantized”, so the protein powder mixes more easily in the fluid of your choice. One scoop carries a 30g serving of protein and comes in the basic flavors: strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.

Benefits:
- low in sugar and fat
- “instantized” to mix easier in fluid

Negatives:
- may have side effects

Ingredients:
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Natural Betaine
- Micronized Amino Acid Matrix
- Protein Blend
- Creamer
- Natural And Artificial Flavors
- Gum Blend

CRAZE by Driven Sports is a performance fuel aimed at providing the ultimate pre-workout boost. This product claims it will allow you to push yourself beyond your limit with energy support that will last throughout your workout. Creatine monohydrate is used to make sure your muscles are fully stocked with creatine so that when you get to your workout, your body will be churning creatine into immediate energy at its maximum capability. Creatine may also increase muscle size. L-citrulline is added because it reacts with the arginine already in your body, creating nitric oxide as a byproduct. This helps to increase blood flow. Vitamin C is added to increase the body’s ability to keep nitric oxide levels high. In order to increase mental alertness and motor control, CRAZE combines four different key ingredients to provide a central nervous-system boost. Using caffeine, Dendrobex, Citramine, and PEA, mood may be enhanced, fatigue may be lowered, and this may lead to a better workout performance.

CRAZE aims to give you the opportunity to train your hardest every time because hard work in the gym is ultimately what will give you increased size and strength. It’s possible that loading with creatine before a workout won’t always help, but the possible benefits may outweigh the risk for you. Staying hydrated when taking creatine is necessary because it can pull water from the rest of your body, which may be why muscle size seems to increase when taking creatine.

One serving size is one scoop of this candy grape-flavored supplement. One to two can be taken mixed with cold water, preferably half an hour before training begins. Do not take more than two scoops in one day. It is also suggested that it not be taken for more than 12 weeks.

Benefits:
- no fillers
- carb-free

Negatives:
- not for long-term use

Ingredients:
- Vitamin C
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Betaine Anhydrous
- L-Citrulline
- Dendrobex

MuscleAmp from EliteImpact Labs is a product designed to be one of the top supplements concerning producing muscle that can be found legally. They use ingredients that are known to be powerful at doing just that, while eliminating some of the unnecessary ingredients that some other formulas include. This has the potential of doing the right job effectively while maintaining proper focus.

There are four key factors that MuscleAmp addresses. The first of these is expanding muscle thickness and volume. Having the proper level of nutrients and fluid in your muscle cells is crucial when it comes to building your muscles and maintaining a good muscle definition. MuscleAmp strives to make sure this happens.

Obviously, a key factor in muscle growth is improving overall power and strength. The appearance is great, but actually getting stronger is the ultimate goal of most weight lifters. If the supplements that a lifter takes can help him or her to grow stronger quicker, the supplement has succeeded, more or less. The ingredients in MuscleAmp are thought to help people do just that.

Thirdly, accelerating the time it takes to recover between workouts is another important element of weight training or body building. By including certain key ingredients found in MuscleAmp, builders can hope to get back into the gym (or wherever) quicker, helping them to continue their program with only a brief interruption.

Lastly, MuscleAmp aims to prevent the breakdown of muscle, a problem that some people can run into if they are not training properly – or if they are not taking the right supplements.

The key to reaching these goals lies in the ingredients of the formula, including components like creatine monohydrate, Beta Alanine, and L-Taurine – just to name a few.

Benefits:
- may accelerate recovery time
- may help body builders become stronger faster

Negatives:
- must remember to take product when suggested

Ingredients:
- Vitamin B6
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Beta Alanine

IsoM3 is a supplement for men that aims to be a significant source of protein for people who train rigorously. It uses a process of filtration in which the subfractions of the highest quality are kept and used properly.

They divide up their system into three sections, with the first being in the morning. In the morning, the body is said to need protein right out of the gate in order to ensure that muscle breakdown does not occur. Taking IsoM3 at breakfast may help to raise levels of amino acids and get the body ready to build muscle – not lose it.

The second stage of the day is right before the workout, or “pre-workout”. The goal of taking such a product right before training is to make sure that a high level of training intensity can be maintained, hoping not to waste any muscle or get tired too soom.

Finally, there is the post-workout period of time. This is a very important time, as the muscles will need plenty of protein to help them rebuild and [eventually] show maximum results from the workout. During all these stages, it is recommended to take IsoM3.

Users are directed to mix one full scoop of this product with water or milk (or any other beverage with similar characteristics). It is best to drink it approximately one to two hours before your training activities, as well as one serving directly after the workout. They say that it is appropriate to take IsoM3 two or three times a day on days that you are not training.

Benefits:
- provides much-needed protein
- can potentially help maximize muscle gains

Negatives:
- mild dedication required

Ingredients:
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Valine
- Arginine
- Lysine
- Cystine
- Methionine
- Glutamine

Cyclo Bolan NT, designed by Infinite Labs, claims to offer dramatic strength increase, muscle growth, and muscle firmness using natural testosterone boosters. One is Tribulus Terrestris extract, which contains two steroidal saponins that may raise testosterone levels or act as androgen hormones – and stimulate the same processes as testosterone. Increased testosterone may improve your athletic performance. Nettle root may also affect hormone levels. Horny Goat Weed may increase nitric oxide levels in the blood, which would cause increased blood flow from vasodilation. Yohimbe bark extract may increase blood flow as well. Cordyceps extract may increase stamina, acting as a stimulant. DHEA is a natural hormone that bodybuilders can supplement to possibly increase muscle mass and energy. Bioperine may be able to increase the bioavailability of some nutrients, a helpful trait for the athlete.

One thing to note is that DHEA supplementing is not approved by the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). Also, several side effects may be linked to Yohimbe bark extract, and if you’re taking medication – especially for depression – double check with your healthcare provider to see if this supplement is a good idea for you. However, any one of these ingredients could cause side effects if you take too much, but are considered to be safe at small doses.

It’s recommended to take three one-capsule servings a day. Two servings can be taken at once if you miss one, but do not take more than two at a time. You have to cycle off Cyclo Bolan NT for twelve weeks after using for twelve weeks.

Benefits:
- may raise testosterone levels safely
- may have positive effects on the male libido

Negatives:
- have to cycle on and off
- not 100% hormone free

Ingredients:
- Tribulus Terrestris Extract
- Horny Goat Weed
- Nettle Root
- Cordyceps Extract
- Yohimbe Bark Extract
- L-Histidine

NOW’s T-Lean Extreme is designed to promote ideal body composition and amplify energy production throughout your day. This product offers a variety of ingredients that are known for their potential thermogenic effects on the body. Cayenne pepper may increase metabolism and cause the body to burn fat by the heat production caused in the body when it’s ingested, and cinnamon bark may cause increased blood flow. The main component, however, is green tea extract in this supplement. Green tea also may have thermogenic effects, but the flavonoids it contains that are responsible for these effects seem to have a low bioavailability. T-Lean Extreme adds a special ingredient, GreenSelect Phytosome, to enhance this bioavailability. This substance is basically a green tea extract and phospholipid complex that may allow this to be accomplished. T-Lean Extreme works toward helping you burn fat even when you’re not in the gym.

Green tea is known for its use as an antioxidant. Antioxidants support the immune system’s defense mechanisms and help to prevent oxidative damage in the body. Caffeine is also added to this supplement to stimulate the nervous system, increase blood flow, and provide an energy boost. There is a chance that some of these herbal extracts can cause a side effect or two.
Only one two-capsule serving is needed per day. It is recommended that only adults take T-Lean Extreme, and it’s possible that it may interfere with medications regarding blood pressure, blood thinning, or the heart.

Atomic 7 by Universal offers a strategically-enhanced 2:1:1 ratio of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) performance supplement. Atomic 7 is designed specifically to be taken pre- or post-workout to provide superior recovery. Along with the BCAAs, this supplement offers citrulline malate, glutamine, and taurine to enhance their potential muscle-building effects even further. Citrulline malate may trigger the increase of nitric oxide levels in the blood, causing vasodilation resulting in increased blood flow. This can maximize nutrient and oxygen delivery to cells. Glutamine stores can become depleted during times of extreme physical stress, and they play an important role in supplying muscle cells with the nitrogen and carbon they need to stimulate repair. It is suggested that taurine can cause the muscle cells to hold water, providing increased hydration support.

There may be some definite benefits to supplementing for these ingredients, but they may also come with some negatives. BCAAs have been known to cause fatigue and coordination loss, but this may not happen to everyone. Staying hydrated is also very important, due to the possible effect taurine has on muscle cells to draw water from the rest of the body.

A one-scoop serving should be mixed with several ounces of a cold beverage. It is recommended to add the powder to the liquid rather than vice versa. Taking Atomic 7 both before and after a workout may provide the best results.

Benefits:
- few to no fillers
- aims to provide increased muscle recovery

Negatives:
- minor side effects are possible

Ingredients:
- L-Leucine
- L-Valine
- L-Isoleucine
- L-Glutamine
- Citrulline Malate
- L-Taurine
- Citric Acid
- Artificial Flavor
- Acesulfame Potassium

Cytosport Muscle Milk is a protein powder that packs 32g of protein into each serving. Several sources of protein are blended together to provide variety as well as varying rates of absorption to ensure sustained energy during training. Casein, milk protein, whey protein, lactoferrin, and taurine are all used. Casein acts as a slow-releasing protein, to help keep your energy up hours later. Whey and milk protein derivatives are quickly and easily absorbed by the body, giving you immediate energy. Lactoferrin may play a role in helping the body to absorb iron and deliver it to cells, which may maximize oxygen delivery. Taurine works to improve heart function by assisting the movement of potassium and calcium ions in and out of the heart cells. These two latter proteins could aid in increasing your energy and ability in the gym. The large protein content also comes along with a Lean Lipids Blend and a carbohydrate boost, providing some bonuses to taking this protein product. The lipid blend contains sources for all the major omega fats; 3, 6, and 9. Medium-chain triglycerides are quickly metabolized by the body and burned as energy for the cells.

There are 20 added vitamins and minerals in Muscle Milk as well, rounding out this protein supplement. However, keep in mind there may be side effects from taking products with concentrated ingredients due to the fact that toxicity levels for many substances like lactoferrin and taurine have not been determined. These are found naturally in our bodies, so it is considered safe to supplement for them as long as you don’t overdo it – according to some experts.

Two scoops comprise one serving of Muscle Milk and should be mixed with water an hour before a workout and within one hour if taken after a workout. It is recommended to take with low-fat milk for more of a milkshake taste.

Benefits:
- many flavors to choose from
- added omega fats and vitamins

Negatives:
- high in fat for some
- possible side effects

Ingredients:
- Protein Blend
- Lean Lipids Blend
- Maltodextrin
- Vitamin Mineral Blend
- Natural And Artificial Flavor

Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass is designed to provide serious weight gain by supplying a substantial amount of calories in one serving – 1250, to be exact. This supplement is meant to be taken with intense physical training. Serious Mass aims to get you the calories you need on the go, when a whole foods diet just isn’t getting you enough. There’s 50g of protein, 250g of carbohydrates, and 25 vitamins and minerals. The protein blend includes protein derivatives from fast-digesting whey to slow-digesting casein, and nutrient-packed egg – ensuring you have immediate and lasting energy. Creatine and glutamine are added just to round out the supplement. Creatine is important for supplying your muscles with energy during intense physical strain, while glutamine is important in preventing muscle tissue breakdown. Supplementing for them may keep the body’s natural stores from running out. This product covers all your bases when it comes to amassing muscle and strength.

Taking creatine can have effects on the digestive system from stomach cramps to bloating. Serious Mass also contains a pretty large amount of nutrients at once, so this may cause some stomach upset at first, which is why you should start off slow. This product is for serious weight gainers looking to pack on muscle, increase size, and maximize muscle recovery time. It can be taken post-workout and between meals, half servings at a time to stretch it out throughout the day, and about an hour before going to bed for rebuilding muscle overnight.

One serving of two heaping scoops should be blended with a large glass of water, though low-fat milk is recommended for more of a shake-like consistency. It may be best for a new user to start with a half serving and gradually increase the amount over a week or so.

Benefits:
- massive supply of calories
- less than five grams of fat

Negatives:
- may cause digestive trouble
- some ingredients may be unfamiliar to many users

Ingredients:

Essential AmiN.O. Energy made by Optimum aims to provide an increase in energy through pumping up the level of nitric oxide in the blood, while also supplying natural stimulants like caffeine by adding green tea extract. Citrulline may provide the nitric-oxide boost by reacting with arginine that is already in the body. Nitric oxide is a byproduct of this reaction, and it acts to increase blood flow by causing vasodilation. Increased blood flow is important for getting energy flowing throughout your body. Beta-alanine is a precursor of carnosine. It has many functions in the body, one of which may be to improve muscle function. The amino acids are micronized to allow for a swifter uptake by the body. Supplying extra amino acids may increase muscle-building strength. Amino acids, specifically the branched chain amino acids (which are included in this supplement), work to build and repair muscle cells.

There are only a few side effects to be concerned with here. Beta-alanine can cause tingling sensations on your skin that usually disappear with prolonged use. It is normal, and beta-alanine is considered to be safe by most experts. Caffeine is another one that may cause mild side effects like increased heart rate, mild anxiety, and increased urine output.

AmiN.O. Energy can be taken for many purposes. If you want an amino acid boost, take one to two servings in the morning and then between meals. To get a pre-workout lift, take one to three servings about half an hour before your workout. For maximum recovery, take one to two servings right after your workout.

Benefits:
- low in carbs
- only ten calories per serving

Negatives:
- may cause unwanted side effects

Ingredients:
- Amino Blend
- Micronized Citrulline
- CarnoSyn Beta-Alanine
- Caffeine
- Green Tea Extract
- Green Coffee Extract
- Natural And Artificial Flavor

MusclePharm designed CLA Core with one goal in mind: to help you burn fat without losing muscle mass – especially for those on low carbohydrate diets. This supplement is meant to support healthy body composition. There are only three ingredients in CLA Core. They include conjugated linoleic acid, extra virgin olive oil, and avocado oil. Conjugated linoleic acids, or CLA, are used to reduce body fat, although they may not help you lose pounds on the scale. Linoleic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid, and CLA makes up some of the components of linoleic acid. Extra virgin olive oil is considered by many to be a powerful antioxidant that may help the immune system, suppress the appetite, and regulate blood sugar levels. Avocado oil can help to suppress appetite as well by acting to maintain cholesterol that is at a healthy level. These last two added oil components may help to enhance the effects of the CLA to burn more of the fat that you already have by keeping cravings in check.

Keep in mind that there is a possibility that taking too much can cause negative side effects on the digestive system. Also, there may be evidence that taking conjugated linoleic acids can cause diabetes if you have metabolic syndrome, and worsen diabetes if you have it already. Each serving of one capsule contains one gram of fat.

This is recommended to be taken with three meals a day in the morning, afternoon, and evening – unless a health care professional recommends otherwise. Up to two can be taken at a time, depending on your individual dietary needs.

 Benefits:
- natural fat burner
- many prefer these ingredients to synthetic ingredients

Negatives:
- few ingredients
- may have side effects

Ingredients:
- Conjugated Linoleic Acids
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Avocado Oil

MuscleTech Neurocore is a super concentrated pre-workout formula aimed to stimulate your body and mind, and supply you with the energy you need to keep your workout performance solid from start to finish. Neurocore works toward providing you with energy, focus, and muscle strength during your training. The energy and focus is supplied by caffeine and geranium extract, both stimulants that can increase your mental alertness and delay fatigue. Beta-alanine contributes to the process of carnosine synthesis, which in turn maintains the pH balance of muscle cells, giving them longer contractile ability. L-citrulline may boost nitric oxide levels, which triggers vasodilation, increasing blood and oxygen flow. Vinpocetine may increase blood flow levels as well. Creatine HCl may be easier on the digestive system than the cheaper version, creatine monohydrate. Creatine is stored in the muscle and helps in the process of supplying energy to the cells when the body is under stress.  Rhodiola extract is an adaptogen that may enhance both mental and physical capabilities.

Geranium extract may be banned by the WADA (World Anti-Doping Code) due to a specific ingredient it contains, so if you are worried about athletic testing, you may need to avoid this supplement. It’s possible that any one of these ingredients could cause you some minor negative side effects, so keep this in mind as well. Some symptoms associated with caffeine use are anxiousness, irritability, and sleeplessness if taken before going to bed. It is also recommended that Neurocore not be taken for more than six months.

Mix a one scoop serving with a few ounces of cold water and take about half an hour before you begin training. It is recommended that you figure out your tolerance level before consuming more than one serving.

Benefits:
- may supply energy to both mind and body
- very few additives

Negatives:
- may interfere with some medications
- may contain a banned ingredient for competitions

Ingredients:
- Beta-Alanine
- L-Citrulline
- Creatine HCl
- Geranium Extract

Gluta-Tren by ProMera Sports aims to improve your total overall workout experience by promoting cell volume, protein synthesis, and fast muscle recovery. Gluta-Tren contains their own Proprietary Blend of amino acids all designed to amp up your gym performance and keep your cells replenished with the nutrients it needs for repair. One of these amino acids is glutamine, which is naturally abundant in the body, but can run out during times of intense physical stress. Adding this extra glutamine may ensure your muscles stay stocked with glutamine for fueling cellular processes. Beta-alanine is a precursor to carnosine, which helps to regulate muscular pH ranges. By increasing carnosine, your muscles resist lactic acid build up. When the presence of lactic acid does increase, the creatinol-o-phosphate kicks in, as it may prolong anaerobic glycolysis when lactic acid is in excess. This combination may increase your reps by providing prolonged muscular contractile ability. The branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine are also added to promote muscular protein synthesis.

Gluta-Tren intends to saturate your muscles with the building blocks it needs for muscle repair so that there may be no chance of your body running out of these important fuel sources. Bear in mind, though, that beta-alanine has been known to cause tingling sensations in the extremities, but this is usually temporary. Also, glutamine may cause some side effects as well when too much is taken. For these reasons, do not take more than is recommended at one time.

Mix a one scoop serving into a glass of water (shaking vigorously to get it to mix), and take fifteen minutes before workout. It is recommended that it be continually sipped through the first fifteen minutes of the workout as well. No more than two servings should be taken per day.

Benefits:
- may promote muscular endurance during exercise

Negatives:
- may cause minor side effects

Ingredients:
- Niacin
- Vitamin B6
- L-Glutamine
- L-Taurine
- Beta-Alanine
- L-Tyrosine

Lean Pro8 by Labrada Nutrition offers a super premium protein blend that claims to give you bigger, stronger, and leaner muscles faster. One scoop offers 25 grams of the Lean Pro 8 blend of eight fast, medium, and slow-release proteins that may provide a sustained flow of amino acids during your workout or your day. These include whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, egg albumin, micellar casein, calcium caseinate, milk protein isolate, milk protein concentrate, and glutamine peptides. Egg albumin contains a similar nutritional value to egg whites. This is a healthy protein that contains lots of vitamins. Casein is a slow-acting protein, so it has a sustained release effect on the body, providing the boost you need later. Milk protein isolate and concentrate are more easily digested and can give you the amino acid boost you need now. The different whey proteins also have different rates of absorption by the body, also contributing the to the sustained-release effect this product claims to attain.

The 13 grams of carbohydrates, with only 3 grams of sugar, help fuel the body’s energy needs for full post-workout glycogen support and muscle recovery. This should not be used as a meal replacement shake. There are only 4 grams of fiber, and no added vitamins and minerals.

It is recommended to mix one scoop (one serving) with a glass of ice-cold water for best-mixing results, up to two times a day. It comes in three flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream. If you’re allergic to milk or soy, you may want to avoid this product.

Sorenzyme D.O.M.S by Labrada Nutrition is a collection of enzymes specifically designed to reduce muscle soreness, or the D.O.M.S (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) created by the company and nutritional biochemist Dr. Mark J. Tallon.

Minimizing muscle soreness after physical activity will decrease the time it takes for you to get to your next workout. This will allow you to workout more and improve your athletic performance and muscle mass. A blend of 11 different enzymes – protease, trypsin, bromelain, lysozyme chloride, chymotrypsin, papain, amylase, lipase, beta-sitosterol, beta-sitosterol glucoside, and piper nigrum – are meant to work together to achieve this result. Most of these enzymes can also be found in digestive-enzyme supplements. For example, protease degrades protein, amylase degrades starch, and lipase degrades fat.

There is not enough research done on products like these to know for sure if it will work for everyone, but many of those who have tried these types of products say it works for them. Some studies studies suggest that some of these enzymes may reduce inflammation and accelerate wound healing, thus reducing D.O.M.S. Talk to your doctor if you’re not sure.

Each bottle has one month’s worth of servings. It is recommended to take four capsules (one serving) once a day at least forty-five minutes before a meal – or as recommended by your doctor. If you are very active, take one serving twice a day.

Benefits:
- may reduce D.O.M.S
- may improve workout regimen

Negatives:
- not loaded with ingredients

Ingredients:

Kre-Alkalyn by Labrada Nutrition is a pH-corrected creatine concentrate made up of buffered creatine monohydrate. This product claims their special Kre-Alkalyn has the concentrated creatine needed for big results, and a product that absorbs easier than regular creatine monohydrate. The body makes creatine and stores it in the lungs and muscles. We can also get creatine from eating animal products like fish and meat. It plays an important role in supplying the body’s cells with ATP when the body is undergoing strenuous physical activity. ATP is the cell’s fuel source. The body keeps the creatine in the muscles so that after it is converted to ATP, it can be immediately transferred to those working muscle cells. Many bodybuilders and athletes supplement creatine to improve their performance in the gym. More creatine, however, does not necessarily equal more energy, so its benefits are unclear.

The fact that Kre-Alkalyn is pH-balanced may mean it is more easily absorbed by the body, and thus able to provide more benefit. This reason may also make this creatine product more easy to digest and help the user to avoid the unwanted upset stomach – a problem that can be associated with taking creatine. Staying hydrated is necessary while taking creatine because it causes water from the body to accumulate in the muscles. This can make it seem that you’ve gained weight while taking creatine.

One serving is two capsules and contains 1500mg of Kre-Alkalyn creatine concentrate. It is recommended for use as a dietary supplement taking one to two capsules with 12 oz. of water once a day on an empty stomach – or with a meal. Making sure you drink at least 64oz. of water throughout the day is also recommended for best results.

Benefits:
- mixes easily
- pH-corrected

Negatives:
- may have side effects
- must stay hydrated

Ingredients:
- Kre-Alkalyn
- Maltodextrin
- Magnesium Stearate

Stim-Force by Labrada Nutrition is a pre-workout stimulant concentrate formula that aims a boost to the central nervous system – as well as enhane performance. The GlycoCarn blend is a nitric-oxide synthesizing agent aiming to elevate blood nitric oxide levels. GlycoCarn (glycine propionyl-L-carnitine) is known to be a powerful catalyst, a nitric oxide synthase that converts the arginine already in your body to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a blood vessel-widening agent, or vasodilator. Nitric oxide also has an anabolic effect, which means it promotes muscle protein synthesis. Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid and acts as the CarnoSyn ingredient. It may help to increase your muscle strength and mass, increase anaerobic and aerobic endurance, and delay muscular fatigue – allowing you to stay in the gym longer.

Stim-Force contains caffeine, which provides the stimulant to the central nervous system, supplying you with an energy kick to push yourself in your next workout. Caffeine can cause some minor side effects like increased urine output, agitation, and occasional stomach problems.

Stim-Force comes in three flavors: fruit punch, watermelon, and sour apple. There are also chewables available as well in the same flavors. It is recommended to mix one scoop with 8 oz. of water and drink thirty minutes before workout. You may have trouble sleeping if taken in the evening.

Benefits:
- zero sugar
- may provide extra energy

Negatives:
- artificial sweetener added
- not for those who are sensitive to caffeine

Ingredients:
- Stim-Force Blend
- GlycoCarn
- CarnoSyn
- Creatine Monohydrate

Speed Shot by ABB Performance offers two energy shots in one, without added sugar or calories. The 8.5oz bottle contains a speed shot blend with 250 mg of caffeine from both natural and added sources – along with a list of herbal extracts. Other ingredients like beta-alanine, DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), taurine, citrulline malate, N-acetyl L-tyrosine, and evodiamine may all improve your mental and physical performance in the gym. Besides providing caffeine, the herbal extracts may have extra bonuses such as helping you lose weight and enhancing your mental efficiency.

Many athletes use caffeine to give them an energy boost during physical activity because it acts as a stimulant on the body. Caffeine can increase your heartbeat and your blood pressure, which may be why some people feel “jittery” when they have too much coffee. Depending on your sensitivity to caffeine, it may cause sleep problems, give you a stomach ache, or make you feel irritable.

It is recommended to drink a Speed Shot about half an hour before your workout for energy. If you drink a Speed Shot for extra energy throughout the day, make sure you drink it between meals. It may be best to keep consumption to one per day – and to avoid drinking it on an empty stomach.

Benefits:
- sugar-free blend
- may provide great energy

Negatives:
- may not be ideal for those sensitive to stimulants
- Yohimbine has come under some criticism

Ingredients:
- Advantra Z Bitter Orange Extract

MyoBuild by MuscleTech  has been made as their most powerful growth accelerator for post-workout recovery. This product is super-concentrated to deliver recovery, size, and strength. MyoBuild is packed with the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, valine, and isoleucine. These specific amino acids may be best for heightening muscle recovery. Glutamine, a nonessential amino acid that your body can run out of during extreme exercise, is also added to ensure you’re functioning at your highest potential. L-Carnitine is made naturally in the body and plays a role in muscle movement and function. Creatine HCl (hydrochloride) is more soluble than creatine monohydrate, allowing the body to absorb more of it. Creatine HCl may also have fewer of the side effects usually associated with taking creatine, like stomach cramps and bloating – while all the benefits remain, and are possibly even amplified. Creatine acts to supply your cells with energy during intense physical activity. Betaine, another substance naturally made by the body, helps to make carnitine and aids in cellular reproduction. Ashwagandha extract may be beneficial in helping the body to cope with stress by acting as an adaptogen. Rhodiola extract may improve your level of endurance as well.

All these key ingredients are meant to work together to provide the user with an effective, ultra-concentrated post-workout supplement to maximize muscle recovery – and also help to build your muscular strength, endurance, and size. MyoBuild also aims to improve cortisol and testosterone balances within the body through the addition of the amino acid complex.

One scoop is one serving for this mix. However, if you want the effects MuscleTech says you’ll get, take two scoops at one time. It is not recommended to take more than two servings a day,.

Benefits:
- zero sugar
- no known side effects

Negatives:
- artificial sweetener added

Ingredients:
- L-Carnitine Fumarate
- Creatine HCl
- Betaine Anhydrous

Gold Standard offers a casein-only protein product with the added benefit of a complete amino acid profile – with 100% Casein. Essential amino acids (EAAs), conditionally essential amino acids (CAAs), and non-essential amino acids (NAAs) may cover the twenty basic amino acids needed to build every protein in a living thing on earth. Each serving offers 24g of protein, all delivered by a blend of slow-digesting, casein-based proteins. Micellar casein is anti-catabolic, decreasing muscle-tissue breakdown by supplying the muscles with needed energy to keep repair going at optimum levels. It is also called a muscle-sparing protein because of its ability to spare the muscles from breakdown. However, it is not helpful when it comes to synthesizing muscle protein, despite the amino acid contribution. Interestingly, casein is sensitive to pH levels; when in the stomach, it forms a gel, due to the acidic surroundings. This allows it to be slowly broken down over the course of several hours.

Casein is said by some experts to hold the standard for the best protein to take for sustained release. The best times for delayed protein delivery, and thus the best times to take casein protein, are usually between meals and right before going to bed. Since casein is derived from milk products, if you suffer from an allergy to lactose, there isn’t as of yet an equal alternative. There may be possible links to a rise in blood pressure with casein consumption, but this is uncertain.

One heaping scoop is considered to be a serving size for this casein product. Mix it with a glass of water or another fluid.

Benefits:
- may be good sustained release protein source
- only 1g of fat

Negatives:
- may not be helpful if you need a fast-acting protein before or after workout
- contains some artificial ingredients

Ingredients:
- Micellar Casein
- EAAs
- CAAs
- NAAs
- Lecithin

Gaspari Nutrition MyoFusion Probiotic Series combines their patented GanedenBC30 Probiotic with their protein blend from six different sources. Whey protein concentrate, brown rice protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, casein milk protein isolate, egg albumin, and whey protein hydrolysate all work together to provide a sustained release of energy to your muscles. The whey protein contributes a substantial helping of both essential and non-essential amino acids. These help to keep your body supplied with the protein-building nutrients it needs to provide you with endurance and strength.

Casein is a very slow-digesting protein, while the hydrolysate is quickly digested. By providing proteins with varying rates of absorption by the body, you can get a steady supply of amino acids rather than overloading your system. Egg albumin is basically egg white protein, which provides a helping of all essential amino acids. The probiotic contains bacillus coagulans, which may improve your digestive health and may even contribute to the easier digestion of the concentrated protein mix.

Probiotics are meant to replenish the good bacteria normally found in the gut. These microorganisms help us to digest food, help make vitamins, and even help out our immune system. The reviews are mixed when it comes to whether probiotic supplements actually have an effect, but the possible benefits may outweigh any risk as they are generally considered safe.

One scoop will get you 24g of protein, so you have the option to double it if your dietary need calls for more. Add to a fluid of your choice; the more scoops, the more fluid. There are many flavors available for this product.

Benefits:
- low in sugar and fat
- added probiotic formula

Negatives:
- artificial sweetener added

Optimum designed Opti-Men to be more than a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement. This product is engineered specifically for men, combining five special performance blends into a single solution. First, the Opti Blend contains 25 vitamins and minerals to cover the multi-vitamin aspect of this pill. Next is the Amino Blend, which contains 8 free-form amino acids that include the three branched chain amino acids along with arginine and glutamine. Amino acids are crucial in building and repairing muscle. The Viri Blend is a mix of botanical herbs and raw oyster concentrate, all geared toward intensifying your male performance.

The Enzy Blend contains 4 enzymes, papain, bromelain, amylase, and lipase. This blend may aid in digestion and promote maximum absorption of all these nutrients. Lastly, the Phyto Blend comprises more than 20 plant concentrates that are rich in antioxidants to give your immune system an edge.

Along with all this, there are even a handful of extras that include the antioxidant-rich phytochemicals lycopene and lutein. Rather than take several different supplements for amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, and herbal extracts, taking this product may provide you a with a well-rounded dose in one shot.

This supplement needs to be taken three times a day with meals to get the maximum serving size. This product also contains a shellfish ingredient, so be mindful if you have allergies to this food.

ON Performance Whey contains only protein derived from whey. Whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, and hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate are all blended together to optimize your performance in the gym. Whey protein isolate has a higher concentration of protein – between 90 and 95% – compared to whey protein concentrate at usually around 80% protein (but can be lower). The remaining percentage is made up of lactose, fat, minerals, and water. Hydrolyzed whey protein is whey protein that has been broken down at the molecular level from long to short peptide chains. This makes it easier to digest, but does not sacrifice on protein content. One scoop delivers 22g of protein – about 5g of the essential branched chain amino acids – and around 3g of some non-essential amino acids (glutamine and glutamic acid). These amino acids may be the most beneficial to supplement when the aim is to build muscle and help muscles recover more quickly after a workout.

Whey may have some added benefits when taken as a supplement. All of those amino acids listed above come as part of the package and may help to provide you with endurance during physical activity by stimulating the synthesis of muscle protein and minimizing the breakdown of muscle tissue. Whey protein may even have an added benefit for your immune system by limiting the stress on the body normally inflicted by high levels of exercise. However, since this is a milk-based protein, depending on your sensitivity to lactose, you may need to find another option. Also, even though this product contains one-third the daily recommended intake of cholesterol, whey protein may help raise your good cholesterol levels.

This product is supposed to mix easily with even a few ounces of water or milk, for use as a concentrated shot-like boost. To make a shake, just mix one scoop in a regular glass of fluid. It is recommended that for either option, mix for at least 20 seconds.

Benefits:
- low in sugar and fat
- may help with endurance

Negatives:
- may not be for those who are lactose intolerant
- contains artificial flavors

Ingredients:
- Protein Blend
- Creamer
- Medium Chain Triglycerides
- Natural And Artificial Flavors

This pre-workout matrix designed by MusclePharm is specifically aimed for those dedicated to strength training to help them tackle their plateaus and push the limits of their potential. Assault’s main intent is to cause a nitric-oxide boost through its anti-fatigue adaption matrix which contains beta-alanine and citrulline malate – both of which can increase the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide acts as a neurotransmitter and can cause increased blood flow. This can help get you going and give you the extra pump you’ve been working toward during training. Each serving also contains a 3:1:2 ratio of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), with leucine having the highest ratio, followed by valine and then isoleucine. The 6g-dose of these amino acids may fight the breakdown of muscle tissue and get muscle protein synthesized more quickly.

Assault even has Creapure and ConCret, basically creatine monohydrate and creatine HCl. Creatine is involved in the process of making energy in muscle cells, so it may increase exercise performance. Finally, two specially formulated ingredients, Astragin and Cinnulin, are meant to aid in the absorption of the B vitamins, amino acids, glucose polymers, and creatine for maximum nutrient delivery to the muscles.

The body makes creatine naturally in the body, and supplementing for it may not have any benefit due to the possible saturation point of the chemicals responsible for converting it into energy. Having too much in your system may cause side effects such as irregular heartbeat and water retention. Staying hydrated is especially important when taking this supplement. The BCAAs may also cause some side effects, but are generally considered safe.

One serving is only half a scoop. However, it is recommended to take one full scoop for a workout that may take you to your max. Mix in a large glass of water and drink about half an hour before beginning exercise.

Benefits:
- zero sugar
- well-rounded pre-workout supplement

Negatives:
- does not contain protein
- may have side effects

Ingredients:
- Assault Proprietary Blend
- Beta-Alanine
- Citrulline Malate
- Rhodiola Rosea Extract
- Creatine
- Notoginseng Root Extract
- Astragalus Root Extract

MusclePharm claims its Combat Powder can supply your muscles with its technologically-advanced protein super-food for up to 8 hours. This product aims to provide the user with optimum muscle growth for the strength trainer. They designed an advanced time-released system by combining several protein sources, each one digesting at a different rate, into one blend. Hydrolyzed whey protein has had its peptide chains broken down into smaller peptide chains. This makes it very easy to digest. Whey protein isolate is also absorbed rapidly and being comprised of at least 90% protein. Egg albumen is also easy on the digestive system, and carries with it a bonus of nutrients with its protein contribution. Whey protein concentrate is digested similarly to whole foods, and micellar casein is slowly absorbed, taking several hours to digest. The digestive enzyme blend contains protease and lactase. These help to break down protein and lactose, two ingredients that can be hard on the digestive system. Adding these enzymes may increase the nutrient bioavailability of the supplement.

The branched chain amino acids are L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. These were added as well, as supplied by the multiple protein sources along with L-Glutamine. Together, they may have the largest contribution to establishing the rebuilding of muscle tissue after strenuous activity. The possibility of side effects arises when supplementing for amino acids, though. Most of the ones in this product come from the protein sources. They are considered generally safe, but it is possible BCAAs may cause tiredness and coordination problems.

One scoop gets you 24g of protein and is considered to be one serving. However, for men it is recommended that two scoops be mixed with a glass of cold fluid, 2-3 times per day to reach maximum muscle-growth potential.

Benefits:
- low in sugar
- low in fat

Negatives:
- may cause possible side effects
- some may not want a time-release system

Ingredients:
- Micro Filtered Whey Protein Blend
- Micellar Casein
- Egg White Albumen
- L-Glutamine
- BCAAs
- Inulin
- Sodium Chloride
- Acesulfame Potassium

Cytosport Monster Amino lives up to its name with monster sized amounts of amino acids per serving. It contains a complete amino acid profile, covering all the most basic amino acids, both essential and non-essential for maximum saturation. It is especially concentrated in the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), L-Leucine, L- Isoleucine, and L-Valine. It contains an 8:1:1 ratio of BCAAs, with leucine packing the heaviest punch at 3.5g each of L-Leucine and PepForm Leucine Peptides per serving. The Leucine Peptides are meant to increase the bioavailability of leucine to increase the synthesis of muscle protein. An entire gram of citrulline malate is included in this matrix as well to enhance the delivery of nutrients to the muscles by aiding in nitric oxide synthesis. In this way, citrulline malate may also increase your endurance level in the gym by fighting fatigue and muscle tissue breakdown. Vitamin B6 is included as a key factor in the metabolism of BCAAs at the cells where they are needed.

It is possible that taking amino acid supplements can cause side effects. They cover a wide range depending on the amino acid, so keep this in mind when taking Monster Amino. L-Leucine is given in the highest dose and may cause symptoms that mimic hypoglycemia, ammonia accumulation in the body, and vitamin B3 deficiency. However, taking L-Leucine is generally considered safe, so these side effects may be rare.

This supplement can be taken before or after exercise. One scoop is one serving and should be mixed with a glass of water. There are five flavors to try.

Benefits:
- zero sugar and fat
- loaded with amino acids

Negatives:
- may have side effects

Ingredients:
- Monster Amino Matrix
- Citric Acid
- Natural And Artificial Flavors

It’s important to replenish after a workout especially when trying to bulk up fast. MHP claims Dark Matter will supply you with nutrients that will be quickly absorbed so muscle growth and repair can start immediately. The Waximax-C3G blend provides carbohydrates for glycogen support while contributing only 10g of sugar per serving. The Hydrosize blend consists of three kinds of creatine meant to ensure the natural stores of creatine in your muscles stay saturated. Creatine is naturally produced in the body and keeps your cells supplied with ATP, or energy, during exercise. The Prosynthagen blend is a matrix of amino acids to support protein synthesis for muscle building and accelerated muscle repair. Amino acids are the necessary components in protein building. The branched chain amino acids are included here along with lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, histidine, and methionine. These all play a part in building muscle and making sure your muscles fully recover from the stress of intense physical activity.

Each of these special blends were developed using a new type of nano-technology, High Velocity Nano-Physics. This technology is supposed to increase the bio-effectiveness of each blend during anabolism, the phase of metabolism where tissue growth occurs. The purpose was to maximize the effects of Dark Matter during this phase by speeding up the occurrence of the phase and delivering nutrients fast.

Two scoops comprise one serving of Dark Matter and should be taken mixed with a large glass of water. It is recommended it be taken immediately following your workout before any other shake or food is consumed.

Benefits:
- glycogen replenishment
- could provide maximum bioavailability for key ingredients

Negatives:
- low protein content

Ingredients:

GlutaLean Plus by Labrada Nutrition claims to offer the workout recovery support you need with one 5-gram serving of pure Ajinomoto brand pharmaceutical grade glutamine (as L-glutamine and glutamine peptides) product. It has no added calories, carbohydrates, or sugar, and does come in two flavors: fruit punch and grape. The regular GlutaLean does not contain the glutamine peptides and is unflavored, so you can mix it easily with your favorite drink.

Glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in your body. It is made primarily in the lungs, which means it is not an essential amino acid since it can be synthesized by the body – and most often, it is stored in the muscles. However, during very excessive physical activity – like marathons, etc. – glutamine stores in the body can run out. Since glutamine is important for removing wastes like ammonia from the muscle – and its role in supporting the immune system – high-endurance athletes may need to supplement for glutamine.

There may be some negative side effects to taking glutamine that affect the lungs and gastrointestinal tract, but they are not common.

There are one hundred servings per container. It is recommended to mix one scoop (one serving) of GlutaLean or GlutaLean Plus in water or juice three times per day. Heat may inactivate the glutamine, so make sure you mix it with cool drinks. Don’t take more than is recommended, and talk to your doctor to make sure this product is a good idea for you.

Benefits:
- no additives or sugar
- pharmaceutical-grade quality

Negatives:
- may have side effects
- one active ingredient

Ingredients:
- L-Glutamine

This weight-loss product by Cellucor claims its combination of thermogenic and nootropic ingredients offers a boost of mental clarity and energy in high-definition proportions. The Super HD ThermoSculpting Blend contains IFAS503, an ingredient that contains three herbal extracts: camellia sinensis leaf, tuber fleece flower root, and Chinese mistletoe stem. Each one acts as a fatty-acid synthase inhibitor. This may interfere with the body being able to store fat. Capsimax, Super HD’s patented form of capsicum extract (the phytochemical that causes peppers to taste spicy), may provide the thermogenic benefits of traditional capsicum extract with less stomach issue. Some of the other ingredients in the blend may have fat-burning effects or may sharpen mental acuity – and some may do both. The vitamin B blend acts to support energy metabolism in the nervous and muscular systems.

Caffeine has the benefit of stimulating the central nervous system so that you feel you have more energy; however, it can also give some an upset stomach, make them anxious, and cause lack of sleep if they take it too late in the day. This product can only be taken up to 8 weeks, and then a minimum cycling-off period of 4 weeks is required before you can start taking it again.

It is recommended you determine your tolerance level for this product. This may be done by taking one serving on an empty stomach in the morning and another serving mid-afternoon. When you can handle it (this may take several days, initially), continue taking Super HD in this manner, but take two servings in the morning so you end up with a total of 3 servings per day.

Benefits:
- herbal extracts
- mental energy boost

Negatives:
- may have side effects
- requires cycling on and off

Ingredients:
- Caffeine Anhydrous
- N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
- Toothed Clubmoss

SciVation Xtend is designed to do just what it sounds: extend your workout. This product aims to improve the overall workout experience by helping you to build muscle, burn fat, and increase recovery time with a supplement you take intra-workout (while you train). The large dose of vitamin B6 is important for the absorption of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). It has many functions in our body, and this specific one may make it a good pairing with any BCAA supplement. The citrulline malate increases blood flow, which may contribute to the increased fat-burn effect of Xtend. Citrulline malate may help to trigger the synthesis of nitric oxide which relaxes the blood vessels, allowing for increased circulation. Glutamine is not an essential amino acid like the BCAAs, but it is stored in the muscles and so may be critical to promoting synthesis of muscle proteins. BCAAs are considered to be helpful in reducing the repair of muscle cells after intense physical strain, making them the ideal candidate for this supplement. Xtend offers them in a 2:1:1 ratio, with leucine having the highest ratio – and isoleucine and valine at equal ratios.

An electrolyte blend of potassium, chloride, and sodium has been incorporated into this product for optimum hydration of your muscle cells so you can function at your peak as long as possible. This is an important feature for an intra-workout supplement because staying hydrated is vital during training. BCAAs have been known to cause some mild side effects that can affect your balance or cause tiredness.

Though meant to be an intra-workout supplement, Xtend can be used pre or post workout – or even on days you don’t train. There are six different fruit flavors to try. Mix one scoop, which is one serving, into water and sip throughout exercise.

Benefits:
- sugar and fat free
- replenishing electrolytes

Negatives:
- may cause possible side effects
- no protein content

Ingredients:
- Vitamin B6
- Citrulline Malate
- L-Glutamine
- BCAAs

CreaLean by Labrada Nutrition is a one-hundred percent pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate product. CreaLean claims it will give you more lean muscle mass, a longer workout, and better muscle recovery with one 5-gram serving of their pure creatine monohydrate product. It has no added calories, carbohydrates, or sugar and is unflavored – so you can mix it with whatever you like.

Creatine is a protein building block produced in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas of humans, but it is stored in the muscles. When the body experiences short-term (but high-intensity) activity, it converts that creatine into ATP, which is what gives energy to all the cells in the body. Many athletes and body builders supplement creatine to build muscle mass, hoping that it will enhance their athletic performance – but studies are inconclusive on its actual effects. It is probable that a saturation point gets reached during the chemical conversion process so more creatine does not necessarily equal more ATP or energy. However, it may be worth it to the competitor to ensure that his/her muscles reach their peak.

Creatine can cause weight gain, which may be explained by the fact that it causes the muscles to take in water from the rest of the body. Some negative gastrointestinal side effects can occur because it may be hard on the digestive system of some individuals – or because they are allergic to creatine.

It is recommended to mix one scoop with water or juice four times a day for five days for the loading phase. After this phase, take one scoop twice a day. Again, drink plenty of water when taking this supplement and don’t take more than is recommended.

Benefits:
- no additives
- pure pharmaceutical grade product

GNC’s Pro Performance Whey Isolate 28 protein powder claims to have the fast-acting quality protein you need at an affordable price to deliver muscle-building support when you’re in the gym. Each scoop contains 28 grams of protein, so you may want up to two scoops depending on your individual needs. The source of protein for this powder comes entirely from whey protein isolate, an even more concentrated version of whey protein concentrate, which is about seventy-five percent protein. Whey protein isolate has had most of the fat and lactose removed, leaving a substance that is more than ninety percent protein.

One benefit to using whey protein is its plentiful source of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), nutrients that are essential to the body. These amino acids are important because they stimulate muscle-protein building, and may even be able to keep muscle protein from breaking down. Whey protein may end up having beneficial side effects like lowering your blood pressure and bad cholesterol, and increasing the effectiveness of your immune system.

This product is a protein supplement. It contains a miniscule amount of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals with absolutely no fiber. It comes in four flavors: chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and cookies and cream. It is recommended to mix one scoop with 8 oz. of cold water, blending well immediately before or after a workout. One to three servings per day is suggested.

Benefits:
- no added sugar
- only 1 gram of fat per serving

Negatives:
- not a meal replacement
- contains artificial flavoring

Ingredients:
- Whey Protein Isolate
- Potassium
- Calcium
- Natural & Artificial Flavors

Power Carb by Labrada Nutrition claims to increase your muscle glycogen stores 1200% faster than pasta, rice, or bread. It also claims to allow you to exercise harder and longer, and increase the effectiveness of other supplements you may be taking. Each scoop offers 20 grams of carbohydrates in the form of their Power Carb blend. If you want maximum post-workout muscle recovery, your body needs the charge that carbs offer. This supplement, offering a handful of electrolytes in their Gametime Electrolyte Blend, aims to give you that extra hydration support you need during your high-endurance workout. Power Carb is made to be a carbohydrate superfood by dramatically increasing the glycogen stores in your muscles. It may give your body an energy increase that will help you get that extra push in the gym. Glycogen may give your muscles a more defined look because it causes your muscles to take in water from the rest of the body.

Power Carb comes in two flavors: fruit punch and lemon-lime (and unflavored). It is recommended to mix one to two scoops, depending on your individual need, in 20 oz. of water and drink slowly 15-20 minutes before a workout or game. Mix one to two scoops in 20 oz. of water and drink immediately after a workout to maximize glycogen replenishment and recovery. It is important to drink plenty of water when taking this supplement.

Benefits:
- zero sugar
- one gram of fat per serving

Negatives:
- artificial sweetener added
- need to make sure you incorporate this into your daily nutritional requirements

Cellucor’s L2 Extreme product acts strictly as a diuretic. Cellucor claims you can lose up to 10 pounds of water weight in five days. This can be helpful if you have a body building competition coming up to give you that extra definition – or some event that you want to lose a little extra weight for. You could use it to kick off a new diet or weight-loss plan, but the weight will come back on when you stop taking it.

The product uses a diuretic blend of prickly chaff flower extract, uva-ursi extract, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and L-taurine. The extracts are plant based and both claim to have strong diuretic properties. SOD is an enzyme that may play a supportive role in antioxidant protection. L-taurine, an amino acid, may contribute to a healthy metabolism and support of healthy blood pressure that is already normal. Dandelion extract is another key diuretic ingredient, popularly known for its natural diuretic properties. The other ingredients are added to help support the electrolyte and mineral balance in the body, probably to offset the extreme water loss.

Take 4 capsules twice a day with food and water. It is recommended you drink at least 6 glasses of water a day when taking this product, due to possible dehydration. You may feel weak and tired as well, due to the loss of nutrients and electrolytes. You can only take it for 4-5 days at a time with at least a week break in between.

Labrada Nutrition Lean Body Mass 60 is designed for weight gain. This product claims to give you the lean muscle mass you need by providing the protein mass you need. Each serving contains 60 grams of a time-released blend of proteins which include whey protein concentrate, hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate, calcium caseinate, glutamine peptides, and creatine. Creatine may help get you the muscle mass you’re looking for because it causes the muscles to pull water from the rest of the body. The calcium caseinate is digested slowly, while milk protein isolate is easily and quickly digested. Having both proteins gives the benefit of having energy now and later. Whey protein provides an excellent source of branched chain amino acids, which may help to prevent muscle tissue from breaking down as quickly, allowing you to sustain more energy during your workout. Combining various protein sources may be beneficial for achieving maximum results.

There are 77 grams of carbohydrates, with only 5 grams of sugar, making sure you achieve full post-workout muscle recovery. This product also contains 19 vitamins and minerals to ensure your body isn’t missing anything. This could be used as a meal replacement, but it is very low in fiber with only 5 grams per serving – so make sure you’re getting your recommended daily amount elsewhere.

It is recommended to mix four scoops (one serving) of Lean Body Mass 60 in 16-20 oz. of water or other beverage – blended well – three times a day between meals for best results. It comes in two flavors: chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

Benefits:
- no added sugar
- contains only 2% lactose

Negatives:
- low in fiber
- may not be perfect as a meal replacement for everyone

Raspberry Ketones by Labrada Nutrition is a metabolic enhancer. Raspberry ketones are found in many weight-loss supplements. The ketones are phenolic compounds derived from red raspberries. Usually this is done synthetically in a lab from chemical intermediates because the natural occurrence of the phenolic compounds is so low. These compounds are responsible for the distinctive raspberry aroma and are commonly used in fragrances and food flavorings. As a dietary supplement, these same ketones may increase fat loss due to the chemical effect they have on the body. Each serving in this product contains a 100-mg dose of raspberry ketones and claims to stimulate fat loss, inhibit fat absorption, and increase fat burning or fat oxidation in the body. Interestingly, raspberry leaves have been used as an herbal remedy for centuries to treat issues of the GI tract and respiratory system.

There is not enough research done on raspberry ketone supplements to know for sure if it will work for everyone. It is suggested that raspberry ketones are completely safe. Talk to your doctor to make sure this product is a good idea for you.

Each bottle offers enough servings for thirty days. It is recommended to take two servings a day – or whatever your doctor may recommend.

Benefits:
- may improve metabolism
- may help burn fat

Negatives:
- may not be strong enough for everyone
- dedication is likely required

Pro V 60 by Labrada Nutrition is a multi-purpose protein blend that is specially designed to help your body repair at night. This product claims its unique protein matrix will not fail to provide the nutritional support your muscles need by supplying a slow, steady stream of 60 grams of superior protein per serving while you sleep. This blend includes whey protein concentrate, agglomerated egg albumin, calcium caseinate, whey protein isolate, and ion exchange whey protein isolate. This combination of various protein sources is what may ensure you get the amino acids you need throughout the night to reach your body’s maximum-muscle repair rate. Each one of these proteins has a different rate of digestion by the body, giving your muscles a steady supply of the building blocks for protein synthesis during rest. Supplementing amino acids, the building blocks, may increase muscle recovery time.

There are 12 grams of carbohydrates, with 5 grams of sugar, to supply extra fuel needs for full glycogen support and muscle recovery during the night. This should not be used as a meal replacement shake. It is a protein supplement. There is less than 1 gram of fiber, and no added vitamins and minerals.

It is recommended to mix two scoops (one serving) with water or another beverage up to three times a day. It comes in three flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream. If you’re allergic to milk, please avoid this product.

Benefits:

The Cookie Roll by Labrada Nutrition is a high-protein snack bar that is designed for dieters or athletes in the gym. Each bar contains 25 grams of their Lean Pro protein blend, which includes soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, and wheat protein isolate. These three protein sources each contribute different benefits. Soy is a significant protein source and has the added benefit of having no cholesterol and being low in saturated fat. Whey protein has lots of the branched chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids may be the best for aiding in muscle recovery. Wheat protein is low in fat, carbs, and calories while still providing large doses of protein per serving. The 34 grams of additional carbs round out this supplement to ensure full post-workout muscle recovery.

The bar may be a great snack in between meals to ensure you’re getting enough protein to match your activity, but think twice before using it as a meal replacement. If you do, make sure you’re getting your daily amount of fiber from your other meals. The fat content is 11 grams per bar.

The bar comes in five very different flavors, so you can find your favorite. The Lean Body Bar by this company is similar and claims to have half the sugar, but comes in different flavors. Some recommend microwaving the bars for 10-15 seconds for best taste. Possible allergens are soy, milk, wheat, and egg in this product.

Benefits:
- convenient if on the go
- healthier snack alternative

Negatives:
- low in fiber

BCAA-Power by Labrada Nutrition is a one-hundred percent branched chain amino acids (BCAA) drink mix that is designed to stimulate quicker and easier workout recovery. The BCAA blend is a 2:1:1 ratio of pharmaceutical grade L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine; these are the only three amino acids that fall under the category of BCAAs. This product claims these are the best muscle-building amino acids there are to help prevent muscle breakdown and fatigue.

By supplementing amino acids, muscle recovery may increase after intense physical activity. The amino acids can be oxidized by the skeletal muscle, which aids in preventing muscle breakdown. They are the building blocks of all proteins, and thus are key factors in protein synthesis. BCAAs are in the group of essential amino acids, which means we only get them through our diet. This product is best for those who are very active – the athlete, body builder, etc. – to help make sure muscles have a steady supply of the amino acids they need. BCAA-Power is also specially designed to mix easily with no gritty taste.

BCAA-Power comes in two flavors – tangy citrus and fruit punch – offering a total of 5000mg per serving of BCAA amino acids. It is recommended to mix one scoop into 6-8 oz. of water and drink after a workout (for best results). Do not take more than two scoops at a time. You may need to consult a doctor before taking this to ensure it is a good choice for you.

Benefits:
- no sugar
- mixes easily

Negatives:
- artificial sweetener added

Ingredients:
- Maltodextrin
- Beet Root Powder
- Natural and Artificial Flavors
- Citric Acid
- Malic Acid

Lean Body in a Jug by Labrada Nutrition is a meal-replacement shake offering 35 grams of a protein blend with whey protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate, and glutamine peptides Each of these protein sources offers varying concentrations of protein, and brings their own individual benefits along with it. Soy protein may play a part in protecting you against certain cancers, along with being an excellent source of protein that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Whey protein is known to be an excellent source for branched chain amino acids. These amino acids may be the most beneficial when it comes to supplementing for increased muscle recovery time. Milk protein isolate is actually low calorie, low sugar, and surprisingly low in lactose. This makes it more easily digested by the body.

The 21 grams of carbohydrates – with only 5 grams of sugar – may offer the support your body needs for full post-workout glycogen support and muscle recovery. This product checks all the boxes for a meal replacement with essential fatty acids provided by the EFA Plex blend, 21 added vitamins and minerals, and 7 grams of fiber per serving.

It is recommended to mix two scoops (one serving) with 10oz of ice-cold water for best results, mixing up to two times a day. It comes in three flavors: chocolate and vanilla ice cream,and strawberry crème. If you’re allergic to milk or soy, you may want to avoid this product.

There are days when even the most dedicated weight lifting enthusiast doesn’t want to work out. Cellulor C4 Extreme Pre-Workout aims to assist with this problem. The makers of this product claim that it will produce highly-explosive energy using NO3 pump technology that gets rapidly absorbed into one’s system. This explosive burst of energy can be credited to the NO3 – or Creatine Nitrate – present in this product.

Creatine Nitrate is a combination of two powerful muscle-building ingredients. Creatine, which helps the body maintain water in muscle fibers, allows a person to lift harder for longer. It is important to stay hydrated when using creatine so that the body may recover properly. Nitrate contributes to vasodilation (the widening of blood vessels) and vascularity (making the veins in the body become visible); it is the reason body builders get that tingling sensation prior to working out. Nitrate and creatine together may generate the desire and focus to work out, increase pumps, and allow the consumer to build muscle faster.

Creatine has been a hot topic over the years. Though it has not been scientifically proven (except for potential dehydration), some users have reported  mild side effects such as mood swings, increased aggressive behavior, stomach upset and cramps, and diarrhea. Nitrate is regarded as one of the safer muscle-building ingredients on the market. There are no reported side effects at the time of this review.

Take 1 scoop with water initially to see how the body responds. Once assessed, take 1-2 scoops 20-30 minutes prior to workout.

Benefits:
- only 60 calories per serving
- may provide long-lasting, high-explosive energy

 Negatives:
- potential dehydration (without consuming enough water)
- reported side effects from creatine

Ingredients:
- Vitamin C
- Niacin
- Folate
- Vitamin B12
- Beta Alanine
- Creatine Nitrate
- Arginine AKG

Labrada Nutrition Humanogrowth is a growth-factor formula that offers increased positive nitrogen balance and increased protein efficiency. The formula contains a blend of pharmaceutically-standardized extracts that are designed to increase the body’s own production of testosterone and human growth hormone. When these two hormones increase, it increases the body’s muscle-building and fat-burning ability. It may also boost post-workout recovery time, which will allow you to train more frequently.

Humanogrowth claims to do all this plus increase your sex drive, help you sleep better, increase immune health, and reduce inflammation. Each serving contains a 100-mg dose of Humanofort and a 200-mg dose of their Lean Muscle Accelerator. The Humanofort contains an embryonic peptide matrix that yields six different growth factors, while the Lean Muscle Accelerator contains biologically-active plasma albumin peptides yielding immunoglobulins, growth factors, and cytokines. There are no known side effects as of yet.

Testosterone is anabolic, which means it builds up muscle and bone mass. Studies suggest it may be linked toward more aggressive behavior, but this is uncertain.

One serving size is four capsules, and there is a month’s worth in each container if taken every day. It is recommended to take four capsules at bedtime. You should also check with a doctor before using this supplement to make sure it’s a good choice for you.

Benefits:
- may increase testosterone
- may increase fat-burning ability

Negatives:
- long-term effects uncertain
- may require some dedication

Ingredients:
- Humanofort
- Lean Muscle Accelerator

ABB Performances Speed Stack energy drink may just be the boost you need to get you through your next workout or just through your day. Each 18-oz. serving comes in a variety of flavors and packs a punch with 250mg of caffeine, provided by a variety of natural sources – as well as just pure dehydrated caffeine to get the desired amount. The product is stacked with almost a full gram of their proprietary methxanth blend which includes quite a list of herbal extracts. It also includes dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), taurine, citrulline malate, N-acetyl L-tyrosine, and evodiamine. This blend of ingredients is all meant to work together to increase your overall athletic performance. Some of the herbal extracts may have an added benefit to increase your mental acuity and burn fat.

Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant, which is why it can be used by athletes to improve mental alertness during physical activity. It does have some side effects, like increased heart rate and blood pressure – because it acts as a stimulant. Some other common issues can be trouble sleeping, stomach aches, and increased urine output. Everyone is different, so make sure you know your reaction to caffeine when taking supplements that contain the stimulant.

If you want to get an energy boost during your workout, it is recommended to start drinking Speed Stack several minutes before you start.

Benefits:
- sugar free and 5 calories
- convenient energy boost for on the go
- lots of natural herbs

Negatives:
- may not be for those who are sensitive to caffeine

Ingredients:

Labrada Nutrition Hica-Max is a muscle-growth stimulator that is non-hormonal and a natural stimulator of muscle growth. Hica-Max claims to give you combustive muscle gain and strength to rapidly accelerate your workout recovery and reduce soreness. All these things may help you train harder, longer, and more often. Leucic acid – or alpha-hydroxy-isocaproic acid (HICA) – is one of the end products of leucine, one of the branched chain amino acids. Muscle cells produce more muscle protein when leucine is present. Because HICA is a metabolite of leucine, when it is present it tells the muscle cells they are burning amino acids and it increases their anti-catabolic processes. This means it keeps muscle protein from breaking down.

This product is designed to work during intense physical activity, so casual lifters may not notice any benefits. HICA may be the best non-steroidal muscle growth stimulator out there, and this product claims it is just that.

There are no known side effects at this time. One serving is one chewable tablet, and there is a three-month supply in each container if taken every day. Each one gives you a 500mg dose of HICA. One tablet is recommended up to three times a day on an empty stomach, and immediately after exercise.

Benefits:
- not expensive
- no hormonal interference

Negatives:
- may not be perfect for casual lifters
- some may be unfamiliar with all the ingredients

Ingredients:
- HICA
- Xylitol
- Malic Acid
- Magnesium Stearate
- Stearic Acid
- Citric Acid
- Natural and Artificial Flavors

The ABB Performance Steel Bar offers convenience and portability with a protein bar that will give you 20g of protein, 36g of carbohydrates, and only 4g of fat per serving. For many, it is a much better option than a candy bar. There are three flavors, covering the basics: chocolate crisp, chocolate peanut butter, and cookies and cream. This bar also claims to have 19 vitamins and minerals, so it could be used as a meal replacement.

However, it’s probably best to use this product as a post-workout snack. There are only 2g of fiber and a whopping 23g of sugar. The protein blend consists of six different protein sources, which include calcium caseinate, soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, wheat protein isolate, and egg albumen. This combination of various protein sources may ensure you get the amino acids for the muscle support you need. Each one offers a little something different – some more than others. Amino acids are needed for protein synthesis, and so supplementing for amino acids may quicken muscle recovery. The carbs add the fuel your body needs for full post-workout muscle recovery.

This nutritional supplement contains milk, soy, wheat, egg, peanuts, and tree nuts (almond, cashew, pecan, walnut, coconut, and hazelnut). So if you’re allergic to any of these, please avoid this bar. For best results, it is recommended to eat one bar after a workout – or eat as a healthier alternative to the vending-machine snacks.

Benefits:
- convenient if on the go
- only 4g of fat per serving

Negatives:
- high in sugar
- low in fiber

Ingredients:
- Protein Blend
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- Corn Syrup
- Soy Crisps

BA-Endurance by Labrada Nutrition is a one hundred percent pure, pharmaceutical-grade, beta-alanine product. BA-Endurance claims to increase your muscular endurance and stamina, delay muscular fatigue, help you stay in the gym longer, and increase your athletic performance. Beta-alanine is an amino acid that in the body gets converted to substances that can have effects on the muscles. Each serving of BA-Endurance contains 1600mg of beta-alanine that is designed to combine with histidine, another amino acid, in the muscle tissue to boost muscle carnosine stores. Carnosine is naturally found in the body and is important in many normal body functions. It is especially found in concentrated amounts in working muscle. Thus, carnosine may delay muscle fatigue. Interestingly, this supplement is also used to prevent aging, which may be why it is used for increasing muscle strength and physical stamina.

There is not enough research done on beta-alanine supplements to know for sure if it will work for everyone. It is suggested that beta-alanine is safe when used correctly for a short time. There is not much known about moderate use of this amino acid as a supplement. However, high doses may cause flushing and tingling. The product label warns that tingling of skin will occur in first-time users due to nerve stimulation and will stop with continued use. Talk to your doctor to make sure this product is a good idea for you.

This product contains a total of sixty servings. It is recommended to take two capsules (one serving) with 8oz. of water three times a day. On workout days take one, serving  half an hour before your workout.

Benefits:
- no additives
- may prevent premature aging

Negatives:
- may tingle the skin at first
- may not be safe for long-term usage

- Gelatin
- Beta-Alanine
- Magnesium Stearate

GNC Pro Performance AMP Amplified Mass XXX was designed to increase lean muscle mass as well as increase weight, strength, and stamina. This specific mixture claims to do this with their unique blend of 124 grams of different carbs and 50 grams of slow, medium, and fast-absorbing protein with micronized aminos per serving. These amounts are supposed to increase when taken with 2% milk. The protein blend includes whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, and soy protein isolate.

Micronized amino acids have been reduced in diameter to the size of a few microns. The smaller particles are supposed to increase the rate of absorption by the body, increasing the fuel needed to get to the muscles. This blend specifically includes glutamine, arginine, and leucine, all three of which are known to increase muscle bulk by triggering protein synthesis.

Three grams of a creatine blend also contribute to the formula for improving muscle protein synthesis and an improved experience during training. The Tri-MG infusion, an anabolic blend of betaine (trimethylglycine) and HMB is also included and claims to create an anti-catabolic effect for your muscles. Betaine is a methyl donor and therefore helps along chemical processes in the body by donating a methyl group. Studies suggest that HMB increases lean muscle gain.

For best results, take every day, immediately after workout or first thing in the morning on days when you’re not working out.

Benefits:
- claims to build muscle and quicken recovery time
- users say it boosts energy

Negatives:
- may not work for everyone
- some users report stomach issues

Ingredients:

A2-Pump by Labrada Nutrition is made of one hundred percent Arginine Ethyl Ester HCl. Each serving offers a 1590mg dose of this esterified form of arginine that is designed to penetrate the plasma membranes of muscle cells and increase nitric-oxide production. A2-Pump claims it can increase muscle pumps, escalate vascularity, and improve muscle hardness and definition – and do all this in just days. Arginine is a semi- essential amino acid and is a precursor to nitric oxide, which is a blood vessel-widening agent (or vasodilator). It may also trigger the body to make protein. Your body may have all the arginine it needs, so supplementing may not be effective for you.

Taking arginine supplements may cause side effects or allergic reactions. Some of these include bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. It also may increase the risk of bleeding, and may affect blood sugar levels. It is important that when taking this supplement you talk to your doctor to make sure it won’t interfere with any medications or medical conditions.

One serving is 3 capsules and each container has forty servings. It is recommended to take two servings worth each day. On training days, take one serving with 12 oz of water twenty minutes before working out, and take one serving thirty minutes after workout. On non-training days, take one serving in the morning and the other serving in the afternoon/evening on an empty stomach – or with a meal.

Benefits:
- no additives
- may improve muscle condition

Negatives:
- may have side effects
- may not be right for everyone

- Arginine Ethyl Ester Hydrochloride

ABB Performance’s Pure Pro protein powder claims to have the fast-acting quality protein you need at an affordable price to deliver muscle building support when you’re in the gym. It comes in three standard flavors: chocolate malt, strawberry-banana, and vanilla praline. Each scoop contains 20 grams of protein, so you may want up to two scoops – depending on your individual need. The source of protein for this powder comes entirely from whey protein with a blend of both a whey protein concentrate and isolate. Whey protein concentrate is made up of protein fat and lactose, but is still around seventy-five percent protein. The whey protein isolate is an even more concentrated version of whey protein concentrate because it has had most of the fat and lactose removed, leaving a substance that is more than ninety percent protein.

BCAAs, or Branched Chain Amino Acids, can be found in whey protein – usually in significant amounts. BCAAs may be able to prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue, which may result in increased athletic performance. Amino acids are needed to make proteins and can increase muscle recovery time. This Pure Pro protein claims to have 4 grams of BCAAs per scoop. Some bonus benefits of whey protein may be a calcium and immune boost, and may even prevent conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

This product should be used as a supplement for protein. It is recommended to drink one serving immediately following a workout for best post-workout recovery.

Benefits:
- no added sugar
- cheaper than ready-made shakes
- less than 5 grams of fat per serving

Negatives:
- not a meal replacement
- need to make sure you incorporate this into your daily nutritional requirements

GNC Men’s X-TraFen is a supplement specifically designed for men who are looking to improve their sexual health. This can mean a number of things, from eliminating erectile dysfunction, improving stamina during sexual intercourse, and solving the problem of premature ejaculation. The formula consists of 600mg of Fenugreek seed extract, commonly used to treat such issues.

Fenugreek is found growing naturally in areas around the Mediterranean Sea. Many countries in that area have been using Fenugreek in their cooking and in health practices. Medicinally, tradition states that ancient Egyptians used it in healing processes, as well as to embalm the dead. Other ancient cultures also used it in similar ways, believing it could help with digestive problems, liver function, and mild cold viruses.

These cultures – as well as more and more cultures today – were/are also aware of Fenugreek’s ability to act as an aphrodisiac, strengthening the libido. Keeping the kidneys healthy is known to directly affect sexual health, and this is stressed in Chinese medicine. Detoxification is also a primary goal. Fenugreek contains many essential vitamins and minerals, making it a very nourishing herbal extract.

Other benefits related to sexual health that Fenugreek is thought to provide are helping with the circulatory system and blood flow. This can be extremely important when considering that proper blood flow is crucial to the man’s ability to achieve and maintain an erection for any beneficial period of time.

Benefits:
- may improve sexual health
- may provide many other health benefits

Negatives:
- contains only one active ingredient
- requires some dedication

reZerect is designed to bring a certain kind of youth back to men, especially concerning sexual health. The ingredients in this supplement are known for their effectiveness in addressing both sexual health and the health of the prostate – two things that are directly related to each other. It also contains a variety of other ingredients that may deal with keeping cells healthy and improve a man’s concentration.

Regarding the sexual benefits, reZerect contains Muira Puama, Maca, L-Arginine, Tribulus Terrestris, and Horny Goat Weed. All of these extracts are well known in the male-enhancement community. Muira Puama, Maca, and Tribulus Terrestris are all said to improve the condition of the sex hormones in a man’s body. They are known to stimulate more testosterone production. Losing testosterone is one of the main reasons that men begin to see a decline in their sexual interest and capabilities.

Including both Horny Goat Weed and L-Arginine is a common tactic among sexual formulas for men. Both of them are considered to be effective at helping the proper amount of blood to get into the erection during arousal. This effect is extremely important when considering size and strength of the erection. Horny Goat Weed is also considered to be an effective aphrodisiac, helping to improve libido. L-Arginine may also help with stimulating nitric oxide (important for erections) and helping to improve semen quality.

The product also contains ingredients like Saw Palmetto and Lycopene that are known for their benefits at keeping the prostate healthy – as well as helping to curb symptoms of prostate problems.

Benefits:
- may improve all-around sexual health
- may address prostate health

Negatives:
- potency of all ingredients not agreed upon by all experts
- daily dedication required for testosterone increase

Ingredients:

DreamBrands Xdrive is a product that aims to help men in their drive to perform better sexually. The formula consists of herbal extracts that have been popular in many parts of the world that are now starting to get recognition in the United States.

One of the main ingredients is Cordyceps Sinensis. This is a mushroom that is known for providing quite a number of health benefits when used regularly. First, it is used to promote proper sleep, helping people relax and rest better. It is known to affect the nervous system in such a way as to reduce stress and anxiety. This certainly can transfer over into sexual health; many men unfortunately can begin to approach sexual intercourse with a great deal of anxiety, often becoming a circle of self-fulfilling prophecy regarding their performance. Cordyceps Sinensis may help with this over time. The mushroom also is known to work with men’s hormones to increase all-around sexual vitality. This can also be seen in more energy, something else that the extract is said to provide.

Two other ingredients – Maca Root and Tongkat Ali – are known to have been responsible for helping many men overcome the problem of testosterone decline over the years. If the right grade of these extracts is used, they are thought to stimulate the body’s natural system into producing more of this male sex hormone. This can have a number of benefits, including helping hair and teeth grow – as well as providing men with a natural increase in their sex drive and performance.

Finally, ginseng has been included as well. This herbal extract is known to give users boosts of energy, something that can help a man perform for longer periods of time without getting exhausted.

Xdrive also comes in performance tablets and a lubricant.

Benefits:
- may stimulate the libido
- may help with performance issues

Negatives:
- potency of all ingredients not known
- boosting testosterone can take some time

Ingredients:
- L-Carnitine
- L-Taurine
- CoQ10
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Cordyceps Sinensis
- Fenugreek Seed

Hardknight Hightest is a gel that is meant to intensify the sexual experience. It contains a variety of ingredients that, when absorbed into the skin, are known for their enhancing abilities.

Two of the key ingredients in this product are Tribulus Terrestris and Horny Goat Weed. The first – Tribulus Terrestris – has been used for ages to address problems with hormonal imbalance. Sexual health can be a tricky issue, as there can be a number of problems that need to be addressed. In the case of hormonal imbalance, testosterone can drop quickly, leaving men with a much-decreased sex drive, potentially causing relationship problems. Men are known to be interested in sex, and when this stops, problems may ensue. By giving the body Tribulus Terrestris on a daily basis, it is thought that these levels can be raised back to healthy levels.

As mentioned, Horny Goat Weed is another key component of this formula. It is easily known as one of the world’s most effective aphrodisiacs, when used and delivered correctly. It is known to enhance sexual feelings, promoting a healthy libido. It also may act in a manner to increase the flow of blood into the penis. If this takes place, a man may realize a stronger and more intense erection. Soft or ineffective erections can be a major problem as men approach their 40s. Taking daily supplements – or applying daily gels, etc. – is said by many experts to be an effective way to combat this.

Ginseng is also known to be a healthy alternative to taking large amounts of caffeine. There is not the crash that is associated with caffeine, and people feel that it is a much more natural energy boost. Also, ginseng may help blood to flow more freely into the extremities, helping the forming erections to get more blood and become stronger.

The other ingredients may complement the ones we’ve mentioned above to varying degrees, especially when using the product properly.

Benefits:
- may enhance the libido
- may improve overall performance

Negatives:
- gels can be messy
- potency not known

Ingredients:
- Water

- Squalane
- L-Arginine

Max Goldenrod is a product for men looking to help them sustain themselves during sexual activity and intercourse. Often, men wish they could last longer in order to sexually fulfill their partners’ sexual appetites. Yet they often feel like they fail and would like to have more endurance. Products like Max Goldenrod aim to help with this situation, as well as try and provide sexual support in other areas.

There are a few key ingredients in this formula that, while not standard in all male-enhancement formulas, are certainly regarded as somewhat popular. The first of these is Panax Ginseng. This versatile herb has been used for quite some time in various cultures to provide users with short boosts of energy. This may be effective in helping men regain some of their endurance during sexual intercourse. Ginseng is known to provide energy without the crash that can occur when taking caffeine. Ginseng is also known to sort of kickstart the metabolism, helping blood to flow better throughout the body – especially into the extremities; in this case, the man’s erection.

Perhaps the other main ingredient in the formula is Schizandra berry. This is another extract that has been popular in many areas of the world, seeing a popularity boost in the Western world in recent years. One of its main uses has been to raise the sexual drive in both men and women, as well as help with different kinds of sexual dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can be a major problem for men as they age, and it can cause fear and embarrassment toward the act of sex. This in turn can lead to immense anxiety, which can cause problems over time.

The normal suggested usage of this product is to take one or two capsules at least two hours before commencing sexual activity.

Benefits:
- may raise libido
- may help with stamina issues

Negatives:
- likely needs to be part of a daily routine
- ingredient list may be unreliable or incomplete

Ingredients:
- Panax Ginseng
- Schizandra Fruit Extract
- Lyceum
- Ligustrum Lucidum
- Chinese Yam
- Gorgon Fruit
- Glycyrrhiza

Doc Johnson Spanish Fly Mints are meant to enhance the libido. They come in a container and are available in peppermint, chocolate, and berry flavor.

It is stated that the mints contain amino acids that are known for improving the libido. The lone amino acid that is listed – at the time of this review – is L-Arginine. This is not to say that L-Arginine cannot be effective on its own; rather, the contrary. But we pride ourselves on getting complete ingredient lists, and unfortunately none was found.

So let’s approach the product as if the only active [sexual] ingredient is L-Arginine. This amino acid is certainly well known, and is responsible for a number of processes within the body, especially concerning sexual functioning. For starters, it is known to play a role in the beginning stages of forming an erection, as it may stimulate production of nitric oxide, crucial in achieving an erection through natural means.

Another role that L-Arginine is thought to play is helping the flow of blood into the penis caverns. An erection can essentially only be as good as the amount of blood it gets, as this determines the size and strength of it. If L-Arginine can help this blood flow into the penis, one can hope for a larger, more rigid erection. This can provide both parties with more satisfying sexual intercourse.

Lastly, L-Arginine is known to play a part in the production of semen. If couples are trying to conceive, having higher-quality semen is something that is sought after, as well as being able to produce more of it. Not only that, but if there is more semen during an orgasm, this may cause the orgasm to last longer, adding to the pleasure of the sexual experience.

Benefits:
- may improve erection quality
- may enhance sexual drive

Negatives:
- ingredient list may be incomplete
- may not be nearly as powerful as taking a daily supplement

Ingredients:
- L-Arginine

Client 9 Male (Client 9 Enhanced Male Virility Formula) is meant to provide men with better sexual health. It addresses this through the inclusion of a number of non-prescription, herbal remedies. Some of these have been used for ages in various cultures around the world.

They address the male libido by including Maca, Tribulus Terrestris, Horny Goat Weed, and Cnidium Monnieri. All of these herbal extracts are known to have the possibility of enhancing men’s sexual drive. This can be important as men get older, since the libido is known to begin to diminish over time.

Two of the herbal extracts – Maca and Tribulus Terrestris – are also said to address the problem of hormonal imbalance. They may stimulate the body’s testosterone production. This can also be very important, as men can drastically lose testosterone as they age. This process can begin earlier than many may think, as some men are said to begin losing the sexual hormone as early as their late 20s. Many experts agree that supplements containing these herbs can have a dramatic effect, helping men with this issue.

Having energy and stamina during sexual intercourse can be an important element as well. Many say that the effects of ginseng can help with this situation. The advantage of taking a supplement containing ginseng – over those with caffeine – is that ginseng is not likely to cause a “crash”, as well as very unlikely to have many side effects that are commonly associated with large amounts of caffeine.

Benefits:
- may strengthen the libido
- may provide endurance

Negatives:
- ingredient list may be unreliable
- testosterone production is not always guaranteed

Ingredients:
- L-Arginine
- Maca
- Tribulus Terrestris
- L-Theanine
- 5-HTP
- Rhodiola Rosea
- GABA
- Horny Goat Weed
- Cnidium Monnieri

Dr. Boss Penis Rejuvenator is a product for men that aims to enhance the total sexual experience. It may help men who are looking to make sexual intercourse more pleasurable by stimulating the erection and making it more sensitive. It also contains ingredients that are known to be aphrodisiacs, helping men increase their libidos and sexual performance.

Yohimbe and Horny Goat Weed often work together to help blood flow into erections, as well as provide a sense of sexual desire. They are both regarded as potent aphrodisiacs, depending on the amount that is used as well as the grade of the ingredients. Yohimbe tends to be more potent, and some even say that it can cause problems if people are too sensitive to stimulants. Thus, people may want to use some caution when taking this extract. Horny Goat Weed, like Yohimbe, is known to help relax the smooth muscle of the penis to allow this blood to flow into its caverns more freely. L-Arginine also may provide added benefits, helping these two herbs accomplish these goals.

Damiana and Ginseng may help to provide nice complements to the above potent ingredients. Both of these herbal extracts are commonly used to pursue better blood flow, with Damiana also being considered a mild aphrodisiac. Damiana is often used by both men and women to help strengthen sexual desire in many different cultures. Ginseng is known to provide energy and stimulate the metabolism. It is regarded as a healthy alternative to caffeine, as it typically does not offer the crash that can occur from large amounts of caffeine.

Zinc is used for a number of important processes with the human body, being such an important mineral. It is known to help keep the prostate healthy and to help produce quality semen – as well as more semen upon ejaculation. If there is more semen present during ejaculation, there will theoretically be more contractions, leading to more pleasure.

Benefits:
- may increase pleasure during sexual activity
- may help with sexual problems

Negatives:
- Yohimbe may cause discomfort
- no clear long-term studies

Ingredients:
- Yohimbe

ABB Performance’s Pure Pro 50 protein drink claims to offer muscle recovery support after a workout with a good dose of 50 grams of their milk and whey protein concentrate blend. Whey protein is a significant source of BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids).  Amino acids are known to be integral in protein synthesis. Many experts suggest that supplementing for amino acids can help muscles recover much quicker, something that can be very important to those who are part of intense workout routines.. Whey protein may help in boosting the immune system, lowering what is referred to as bad cholesterol, partially reducing high blood pressure, and provide a source of calcium to varying degrees.

This should not necessarily be used as a meal-replacement shake on a daily basis. There are only 9 grams of carbohydrates, very little fiber, and only a few added vitamins and minerals. However, it is a very convenient, on-the-go protein drink to take with you for before or after a workout.

Many of these supplements are very similar regarding their ingredients, with occasionally only a few grams of this or that separating them. The key is to find what works best for you at the price you want and the flavors you want.

It is recommended to drink one serving immediately following a workout for best post-workout recovery.

Benefits:
- no added sugar
- less than 5 grams of fat per serving

Negatives:

Caffeine may help you stay awake, increase your mental sharpness and may even help you to lose weight.

Each 18-oz. bottle is one serving and comes in two flavors: fruit punch and grape. It contains 30g of protein derived from a whey protein isolate.

Maxx Recovery also provides 60g of Stacked Carbs, a combination of simple and complex carbohydrates that offer the necessary fuel your body needs for full post-workout muscle recovery.

Whey protein is known to be a significant source of BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) as well, which may add an anti-catabolic effect. This product claims to contain about 4 grams per scoop.

Glycerol can have some side effects if you take too much or if you have a sensitivity to it. Keep this in mind when seeking out supplements containing this ingredient. While most are generally safe, one must watch the doses. There is also 15g of sugar per serving and  30g of carbohydrates.

Gluta-Force by ABB Performance claims to offer the workout recovery support you need, with one 5-gram serving of their glutamine (as L-glutamine and glutamine peptides) product. It has no added calories, carbohydrates, or sugar – and is unflavored so you can mix it with whatever you like. It does have added hydrolyzed wheat protein, which is a source of glutamine peptides, so you may need to avoid if you have a gluten allergy. Glutamine is an amino acid produced by the body and can be found in many foods. It can also by made synthetically in the lab. It acts to support immune health, and both the digestive and nervous system. It is also important in regulating cell growth and function. By supplementing, you can ensure that low levels are replenished due to stress, injuries, or sickness.

Taking a glutamine supplement may cause a cough or hoarseness, more frequent bowel movements, or straining while passing stools or other symptoms. It is important for you to talk to your doctor to make sure it won’t interfere with any medications or medical conditions.

It is recommended to mix one serving of Gluta-Force with 8oz. of water or other beverage. It should be taken right after a workout and/or before you go to bed for most effective results. Keep in a cool, dry place.

The Extreme XXL Powder by ABB Performance claims to be the weight gain supplement you need to pack on the size you want by providing the calories you need.

The protein blend contains whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, egg albumen, and sweet dairy whey. This combination of various protein sources may ensure you get the amino acids you need.

The carbohydrates offer the necessary fuel your body needs for full post-workout glycogen support and muscle recovery.

This product could be used as a meal replacement. They’ve added an assortment of vitamins and minerals and even trace elements. However, it contains zero fiber, so make sure you’re getting your recommended daily amount elsewhere.

The flavor choices are chocolate and vanilla. It is recommended to add milk to this supplement because it will increase the amount of calories, protein, carbohydrates, and sugar that you get per serving.

ABB Performance offers their Diet Turbo energy drink in three flavors: Tea, Lemonade, and Punch. Each 18-oz. serving is packed with 90mg of caffeine provided by added caffeine anhydrous (or dehydrated caffeine) and the guarana extract (except in the Green Tea flavor). Caffeine anhydrous tea is the main source along with the guarana. Caffeine is known to increase mental alertness and to provide energy. It also encourages bowel movements to some degree. With all of its benefits, people still need to be aware that too much caffeine can cause some discomfort concerning the taking of these supplements. Personal biology comes into play to a large degree here.

Crea-Force by ABB Performance claims to offer strength and recovery support with one 5-gram serving of their pure creatine monohydrate product. It has no added calories, carbohydrates, or sugar – and is unflavored, so you can mix it with whatever you like. Creatine is a chemical found in the body naturally, usually in the muscles. It can be made by the body or absorbed from certain foods. Synthetic creatine can also be made in a lab. Creatine is commonly used for improving athletic performance and gaining muscle mass. Creatine plays a part in making the energy necessary for muscles to work. The muscles have a “saturation point” for creatine, so taking more than is necessary usually has no benefit. However, making sure your muscles have reached that point may be worth it to the athlete or body builder to make sure the body is functioning at its peak.

Creatine can cause stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea and muscle cramping. Taking too much may cause harm to the kidney, liver, or heart – but this is uncertain. It is important to stay hydrated while taking creatine because it causes the muscles to draw water from the body. This is the reason for possible weight gain while taking creatine.

It is recommended to mix one to two servings with water or a protein or carbohydrate supplement beverage every day. Keep in a cool, dry place.

Benefits:
- may prove to have great benefits
- contains no additives

Negatives:
- may have side effects
- contains only one active ingredient

Ingredients:
- Creatine Monohydrate

Each 18oz bottle of Carbo Force by ABB Performance comes in two flavors: fruit punch and grape – and offers up an intense helping of Stacked Carbs at 100g per serving. This supplement is geared toward boosting energy during high-intensity activities. Offering 5g of glycerol and a handful of electrolytes may give you the hydration support you need during your high-endurance workout. Glycerol is an alcohol that can have a hydrating or dehydrating effect. It also can be used as a sweetener. Glycerol may offer better water retention, increase blood volume, and help you to perform better during exercise. The Stacked Carbs, which is a combination of simple and complex carbohydrates, offer the necessary fuel your body needs for full post-workout muscle recovery. There are 15g of sugar in each bottle, but considering the amount of carbohydrates you get, this should be a welcome compromise.

Glycerol can have some side effects if you take too much or if you have a sensitivity to it. This may include mild headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, thirst, and diarrhea. This supplement contains a low amount, but keep this in mind if you decide to try it. The purpose of this supplement seems to be providing maximum energy and glycogen support during more aggressive and demanding physical activity.

For a pre-workout boost, start drinking 20 minutes before the workout – and continue drinking throughout the workout. To use for post-workout recovery, drink one bottle  immediately following your workout. Shake well and keep refrigerated.

Benefits:
- very convenient
- zero grams fat per serving

Negatives:
- may be too intense for some
- daily dedication likely required for maximum benefits

Ingredients:
- Triple-Filtered Water
- Maltodextrin
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- Natural and Artificial Flavors
- Grape Skin Extract
- Preservatives

ABB Performance’s Blue Thunder combines a protein shake with an energy boost designed to give you that extra stamina in the gym as well as provide some post workout recovery. Each bottle serves up 22 ounces of a protein, carbohydrate, and energy blend that comes in one flavor: fruit punch. Blue Thunder provides 30g of protein derived from a whey protein isolate. Whey protein is a significant source of BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids). Amino acids are the ingredients needed for protein synthesis; thus, it is suggested that supplementing for amino acids may quicken muscle recovery. The added amino acids taurine, tyrosine, and glutamine in the 2,510mg of Proprietary Thunder Energy Blend have the same effect. The energy blend also includes herbal extracts that may have an added benefit for weight loss and may also help to enhance your mental efficiency. Many of them also provide a natural source of caffeine, which totals 100mg thanks to the added caffeine anhydrous (dehydrated caffeine) to give you that promised energy lift. The 40g of carbohydrates provide the necessary fuel your body needs for full muscle recovery.

Caffeine is known to be beneficial for a number of reasons. However, too much may cause nervous problems, going so far as to cause heart problems if too much is ingested. This, of course, depends on the person, so it is advised to pay attention to what your body is telling you when taking such products.

For post-workout recovery, drink one bottle of ABB Performance Blue Thunder immediately after workout. Shake well for best taste.

Benefits:
- convenient for some
- natural herbal extracts that are known to be effective

Negatives:
- may be too much caffeine for some
- need to make sure you incorporate this into your daily nutritional requirements

Ingredients:
- Taurine, Tyrosine and Glutamine
- Caffeine Anhydrous
- Cocoa and Guarana Extracts

Ripped Force by ABB Performance claims to get you ripped by offering a caffeine boost of 200mg from both natural and added sources, while also providing 23g of carbohydrates – the necessary fuel your body needs for full muscle recovery. L-Tyrosine may increase mental performance and is an important amino acid that plays a key role in protein synthesis. Supplementing amino acids may also prevent muscle tissue breakdown. Octopamine and bitter orange extract are thought to provide a thermogenic effect on the body. This effect is thought to increase your metabolism and help you burn fat. Guarana contains caffeine and may help to boost weight loss and energy, helping to enhance your athletic performance. This may be the product for you if you need that extra stamina in the gym to get in that extra set you’ve been working toward.

Caffeine may help you stay awake, increase your mental sharpness, and may even help you to lose weight. It also acts as a mild diuretic.

Nite Rider Pills are for men who are looking for a non-prescription way to enhance their sexual drives, correct premature ejaculation problems, and improve erection quality. This includes both men who suffer from erectile dysfunction and men who simply are not achieving the strong erections they once did – a common problem as men age.

One of the main areas of attack that this product tries to address is blood flow. This can be a big problem as men get older, noticeable in the hands and feet – as well as in the erection. Man can often still get erections, but they pale in comparison to the erections they could achieve when they were in their 20s. Ingredients like Damiana and Siberian Ginseng are known to address this problem to varying degrees. Damiana is considered an effective aphrodisiac as well as a way to get the blood flowing better, especially when it comes to the erection. Similar things are said about Siberian Ginseng, with more focus on its ability to provide more energy. This can be a very positive thing when it comes to maintaining a certain level of energy and stamina during sexual intercourse. Likewise, if the erection is stronger, this can mean more pleasure for both the man and his partner, stimulating areas that might not be stimulated when a man only has half an erection.

The next strongest ingredient in the formula may be Horny Goat Weed. It too focuses on the proper amount of blood flowing into the erection. It even takes it further by hoping to dilate blood vessels in the reproductive area, both encouraging the blood to flow in and potentially creating more pleasure during sexual activity. Horny Goat Weed is easily one of the world’s most functional and popular herbal extracts for sexual purposes.

Dong Quai is another that has a focus on the sexual drive. Many think that this herb is primarily for women, but many men have stated that they have seen improvement from taking this herb over time.

Benefits:
- may strengthen the libido
- may address blood flow into erections

Negatives:
- likely need to take for a period of time to see maximum results
- not all ingredients regarded as potent

Ingredients:
- Damiana
- Dong Quai
- Black Cohosh
- Vitex
- Evening Primrose
- Siberian Ginseng
- Horny Goat Weed
- False Unicorn Root
- Red Raspberry
- Hops

Phuk Herbal is an herbal pill containing ingredients that are used for improving sexual health. It aims to improve a man’s sexual stamina, give better and stronger erections, and improve the libido. It claims to work for up to three days with just one dose.

There are a few key ingredients in this interestingly-named supplement. The first of these is Wolfberry, also called Goji Berry. This has been a popular herb for sexual treatment for quite some time in Eastern areas of the world. Not only is it known for its ability to be a good aphrodisiac, Wolfberry has also been linked to helping with the health of the heart and to prevent too many overt signs of aging.

Another key ingredient is Rhizoma Polygonati. While said to have some direct sexual benefits, it is more known for improving other areas of health, such as helping with some of the symptoms of diabetes – as well as improving the health of the lungs, stomach, and spleen.

Going back to the direct sexual aspects, they include Horny Goat Weed, one of the most popular herbal aphrodisiacs on Earth. Improving the flow of blood to the penis is one of the main things that this extract is known to do. It is said to do this by relaxing the smooth muscle in the penis area, as well as expanding blood vessels. This should give the blood more room to pass, flowing easily in the caverns of the penis.

Velvet Deer Antler and Cnidium Monnieri are the last two ingredients we’ll mention here, as they are arguably the two most potent that are remaining. Velvet Deer Antler is linked to sexual vitality, typically taken from the antler during mating season. This may help regulate hormonal levels in men, strengthening their sexual desire and prowess. Cnidium Monnieri is another aphrodisiac that many experts say can increase the levels of nitric oxide in the body, helping to form proper erections.

Benefits:
- may enhance levels of desire
- may enhance the erection

Negatives:
- likely needs to be taken daily for full results over time
- some ingredients somewhat unproven

Ingredients:
- Wolfberry Extract
- Rhizoma Polygonati
- Horny Goat Weed
- Velvet Deer Antler
- Chinese Yam
- Rhodiola Rosea
- Cnidium Monnieri
- Cyanotis Vaga

Stiff One Pills are designed for enhancing male sexual capabilities. They contain ingredients that are known around the world for helping with some of this, from addressing the problem of erectile dysfunction to improving the libido.

May formulas use plenty of herbal extracts that are well known in the Western world. While a couple of the ingredients in Stiff One Pills are somewhat known in the United States, they have chosen others that can be described as somewhat obscure in comparison. This of course does not mean that they do not work; rather, that maybe more studies can be done and reported widely so more men can take advantage of their benefits.

The first ingredient worth mentioning is Wolfberry. It works much in the same way as many other aphrodisiacs, helping to improve the flow of blood into the penis. It is said that daily use of Wolfberry can relax arteries, allowing a larger area of room for the blood to flow in.

Smilax, also called Sarsaparilla, is known to be effective at treating countless conditions in the body. In the case of sexual health, it is said that it can be a good way to improve the libido and keep hormonal levels balanced. Sex drive, of course, plays a large role in the functioning of erections. Hormonal levels are important as well, as the sex hormones are an integral part in overall sexual health.

Finally, we’ll mention Rhodiola Rosea. This plant grows in very cold areas on Earth, also helping to improve sexual drive. Some early studies have also suggested that it can help men who are having problems with premature ejaculation, another problem that can be debilitating for many men.

Benefits:
- may help with erectile dysfunction
- may help improve the libido in men

Negatives:
- may take some time for clear results
- some ingredients unfamiliar to many men in the Western world

Ingredients:
- Wolfberry Extract
- Smilax Regelii
- Rhizoma Polygonati
- Rhodiola Rosea
- Cyanotis Vaga
- Cortex Cinnamon

SexVoltz aims to help men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction, as well as to improve erections in men who are simply looking to maximize their potential. It also claims to help intensify orgasms and improve recovery time between sexual sessions.

There is not an overwhelming number of ingredients in this formula, but that does not mean that it can’t be effective. Many formulas include so many extracts that the potency ends up becoming reduced; there is only so much room in one small capsule. So they try and make the most out of their ingredients, including L-Arginine as a key player. This amino acid is already produced in our bodies, but that does not always mean that there is a sufficient amount. If levels become low, many of the essential processes may not end up being carried out. One of the processes that L-Arginine is involved in is dilating blood vessels near the penis to allow blood to pass through. Blood flow into the penis is essentially what an erection is, so if this is not happening on a high level, erections cannot become maximized. L-Arginine may also play a role in sperm production, and some say that it can increase sex drive and make orgasms more pleasurable.

Fenugreek is another popular extract found in many other formulas. This is due to – in part – its reputation for being able to mimic the effects of the male sex hormone testosterone in the body. This may lead to improved sexual vitality and a stronger sex drive, something that men often strive for as they age.

Lastly, Horny Goat Weed is one of the world’s most popular herbal aphrodisiacs. If taken daily, it may work in a similar way to L-Arginine, dilating the blood vessels and helping the flow of blood. It is also known for helping to relax what is called the smooth muscle of the penis.

Benefits:
- may improve erections
- may enhance orgasms

Negatives:
- short ingredient list
- full ingredient list may not be disclosed

Ingredients:
- L-Arginine
- Fenugreek Seed Extract
- Horny Goat Weed

3 KO Male is a pill for men that has an emphasis on increasing the libido. The ingredients contained within the pills have long been used to treat sexual problems, including a lack of sexual drive and other functions like erectile dysfunction and poor stamina.

One of the key ingredients in this product is Cordyceps. This extract is known to be useful for a number of things. In this case, it acts as a sex hormone and may help rejuvenate men’s sexual vitality. It is also commonly used for regulating blood pressure, helping with breathing issues, and remaining youthful.

Another sexual booster that finds its way into 3 KO is Dong Quai. While it is more known for being helpful in increasing the libido in females, many experts are now recommending it for men, especially men in their 40s and 50s who have seen desire decrease.

Possibly the most potent of the ingredients in this formula is Cnidium Monnieri. It is known to be effective in relaxing the smooth muscle of the penis. If this happens, it may allow for the flow of blood into the penis caverns to be more plentiful. When more blood pools into these areas, it can create an erection that is stronger and – essentially – larger.

Finally, sexual stamina is addressed by the inclusion of Schizandra Berry. This berry may be helpful in increasing men’s stamina during sexual intercourse, helping him to more completely control how long he can last before ejaculating. It is also known to help people who have problems concentrating.

Benefits:
- may improve sexual response
- may improve stamina

Negatives:
- few potent ingredients
- likely will take some time for full results

Ingredients:
- Walnut
- Asian Ginseng
- Cordyceps
- Astragalus
- Dong Quai
- Cherokee Rose
- Cnidium
- Flat-Stem Milkvetch
- Ligustrum
- Schizandra

Chainsaw Pills are designed to maximize a man’s sexual potential. It contains ingredients specifically formulate for men to help improve erections, increase sexual desire, and help men last longer during sexual intercourse.

Formulas that want to help men overcome erectile dysfunction often include ingredients that can help give a boost to the way that the blood flows in the body, and this formula approaches it in a similar way. They include two key ingredients for this: Yohimbe and Horny Goat Weed. These two extracts are considered “Big Dogs” in the male-enhancement supplement community – especially Yohimbe. They are known to relax areas of the penis to allow this blood to freely flow in, something that older men eventually can have problems with – as well as men of younger ages. Blood vessels may be dilated by the workings of these extracts, allowing this blood to enter the chambers of the penis.

Testosterone decline can cause various sexual problems as well. For this reason, they have included Tongkat Ali in their formula. This extract is known to be successful at raising levels of testosterone in bodies that are lacking this critical hormone. If this can take place, there is much hope that men can regain some of their sex drive that has been lost – as well as some of their sexual functioning and vitality.

Benefits:
- may help with erection quality
- may help with sexual drive

Negatives:
- requires daily dedication
- Yohimbe can be potent; not for everyone

Ingredients:
- Yohimbe
- Horny Goat Weed
- White Willow Bark
- L-Arginine
- Ginkgo Biloba
- Cnidium Monnieri
- Rhodiola Rosea

Vivid Virility is a product for men that concentrates on erection quality. It contains a host of ingredients commonly used for this purpose, as well as for elevating testosterone levels and restoring sexual prowess.

Improving blood flow to the penis is certainly one of the objectives of this formula, and that is evident by the inclusion of Yohimbe, Cayenne, and two types of Ginseng – American and Asian. Yohimbe is known to be very potent when a high-grade extract is used, as it may help improve the amount of blood that flows into the penis – while increasing sex drive. Cayenne is also known to help get the blood flowing properly throughout the body; many don’t realize that a simple household spice can do this, while at the same time also offering libido-enhancing benefits. Ginseng is another that may help to circulate blood well throughout the body, as well as provide extra energy. This extra energy may help men perform for longer periods of time during sexual intercourse.

If a man who has seen his sex drive wane can boost his testosterone levels, he may see some improvement in this area. There are a few ingredients in this formula that are known to address this issue. They are Maca, Catuaba, Muira Puama, and Tribulus Terrestris. Maca and Tribulus Terrestris are typically regarded as the most potent of this group, encouraging more testosterone production – especially when taken over a few months’ time. The others can be effective as well, making good complements to the two just mentioned.

The prostate is also addressed in the Vivid Virility formula. The health of the prostate is key to sexual health, of course, as it is directly involved in many of the processes. Stinging Nettle and Pumpkin Seed are both very popular ingredients concerning prostate health. Nettle may help to take away some of the symptoms that are present when a man’s prostate becomes enlarged. Pumpkin Seed is thought by many cultures to prevent the onset of prostate cancer, something men always need to be careful of as they age.

They say that users can take three of their tablets about half an hour before sexual activity.

Benefits:
- may improve sexual pleasure
- may help with a variety of sexual issues

Negatives:
- Yohimbe may cause side effects
- boosting testosterone levels can take some dedication

Ingredients:
- Yohimbe
- Maca
- Catuaba
- Muira Puama
- Tribulus Terrestris
- L-Arginine

Hergra is a male-enhancement product claiming to help men who are experiencing erectile dysfunction. It also aims to address the promoting of more virility and better sexual performance. Users with premature ejaculation issues may also experience positive effects from taking this formula.

They say that their formula should not cause any side effects. While that may be true, people should still be careful with formulas that contain Yohimbe; it can be very potent. This is, of course, usually a good thing; users should just be careful not to take too much of this extract. It is known to stimulate the body and open up blood paths into the penis, allowing there to be more blood in the caverns when achieving an erection. This makes the erection stronger, tighter, and – ultimately – “larger”.

As essentially a complement to Yohimbe, Horny Goat Weed has also been included in Hergra. This extract works in similar ways, dilating the blood vessels around the penis and relaxing some of the smooth muscle, potentially allowing for more blood in the erection. Unlike Yohimbe, Horny Goat Weed is a very passive herb, so it is not likely to cause side effects.

Losing testosterone during the aging process is known to be one of the reasons that men can end up suffering from sexual issues. They have included three key ingredients meant to address this: Tribulus Terrestris, Muira Puama, and Maca. All three are known to impact the creation of testosterone in a positive manner, with Tribulus Terrestris and Maca known to be especially effective over a period of time.

Benefits:
- may increase erection capacity
- may improve users’ sex drive

Negatives:
- must be careful about not taking too much Yohimbe
- short ingredient list

Ingredients:
- Muira Puama
- Yohimbe
- Horny Goat Weed
- Maca
- Tribulus Terrestris

UroStar, from SunVita Nutrition, is a product intended for use by males who are looking to provide support and nourishment for their prostate. As men age, the prostate problems can begin to set in, and many men seek out supplements such as this one to naturally and safely provide benefits.

Both this product and another prostate product from SunVita Nutrition – Peenuts – use Saw Palmetto/Beta Sitosterol as main components of the formula. Beta Sitosterol is taken from the berries of the plant, one that grows in warm climates like the state of Florida. It may help curb much of the problem of nighttime urination, as well as some of the other problems that an enlarged prostate can cause. While not known for actually shrinking the prostate, it may help to make this problem much more bearable.

Stinging Nettle, Pygeum Africanum, and zinc have been included in this product as well. Stinging Nettle and Pygeum have been considered as working well together to alleviate some prostate problems. Some experts have gone on record claiming that the usage of Pygeum may help to reduce the size of the prostate, but also say that they are doing more studies to verify these claims. It is known that zinc deposits are found in the prostate and help to create semen. This is why many supplements contain this vital mineral.

Other ingredients in the formula work in unison to try and deliver nutrients to the prostate, as well as offer support for detoxification of the prostate. There are a wide variety of ingredients in UroStar that may provide real benefits over time.

Benefits:
- may help with nighttime urination, etc.
- contains vitamins

Negatives:
- may take a month or so to see results
- must take care when taking product alongside a multivitamin (zinc)

SizeMatters is a natural supplement designed to help men maximize the size of their erections. They include a few key ingredients that have been backed by some experts as being able to accomplish this, especially over time.

Two ingredients certainly stand out in this product, especially when they are used together. Yohimbe and Horny Goat Weed work in similar ways to each other. They both are known for affecting the penis in such a way as to allow the maximum amount of blood to flow into a forming erection, provided there is no other medical reason for a lack of blood. As men age, getting proper blood flow into the extremities can be a problem. If used correctly, these two herbal extracts may effective in accomplishing this goal. That said, users are directed to carefully study the effects that Yohimbe can have on the body, as some people do not respond well – especially those who are very sensitive to stimulants.

While many men are unconcerned about the strength of their erections, some have significant problems achieving the desired results. Thankfully, there are herbal extracts that many experts say can work. Aside from the ones mentioned above, L-Arginine is known for helping to get the erection process starting. What matters is the quality of the ingredients.

Cnidium is also a reproductive herbal extract. It too may relax the smooth muscle of the penis and promote health sexual function.

Benefits:
- may improve erections
- may improve all-around sexual fcuntion

Negatives:
- short list of ingredients
- Yohimbe may cause side effects

Ingredients:
- Horny Goat Weed
- Yohimbe
- L-Arginine
- Cnidium Extract
- Xanthopermelia Scarbrosa

Mandingro is a product specifically designed to try and help men in their quest for sexual health. It may help increase performance levels during sexual intercourse, give more energy, and stimulate the libido.

Starting relatively small concerning ingredients, they include caffeine. Caffeine is known to stimulate the nervous system, providing energy. While not necessarily a sexual ingredient, it certainly may help with energy levels during the initial rush.

L-Arginine, however, may prove to be important for this formula. It is known to be a crucial part of the erection process, helping to stimulate the nitric oxide that is needed to form a proper erection. It also has various other uses concerning sexual and all-around health.

Although listed last on the ingredient list, Yohimbe may be the strongest ingredient in their formula. Certainly, it gets a lot of recognition for its effectiveness in increasing sex drive and making erections stronger. When many companies say that they can “make erections bigger”, they typically mean that they try and help the maximum amount of blood flow into the penis, which is what Yohimbe is known for. This essentially is making the erection bigger, without tampering with Mother Nature.

Horny Goat Weed works in a similar way to Yohimbe, only is not really ever thought of as producing side effects. It is much more passive in its ways, and may need to be used over a period of time to really show results.

The other ingredients in Mandingro may help to boost testosterone levels, provide energy, and give attention to all-around sexual health.

Benefits:
- may improve sexual stamina and drive
- may help with erection problems

Negatives:
- Yohimbe may cause side effects
- may take some time for results to be seen

Ingredients:
- Cnidium Monnieri
- Cuscuta
- Caffeine
- Dong Quai
- Horny Goat Weed
- Korean Red Ginseng
- L-Arginine
- Tribulus Terrestris

e-LONG-ate is a formula that claims to help men increase their penis size, claiming that men can average a 29% growth. They say that their formula may begin to work in as little as 14 days, and that some of the results can be excellent.

The ingredients they use to accomplish this are seen in many other formulas designed for similar things. In this market, you tend to see many of the same players. Rather than get into all of them, we’ll discuss a few of the main and arguably most-effective ones.

One of the most important ingredients in their formula is Yohimbe. It is known to have excellent results when used appropriately and within a proper dosage range. It can stimulate the body, getting blood to flow better. Yohimbe may cause some unwanted side effects, generally stemming around the function of the nervous system and heart, but some people swear by this extract. They say it has made their penises larger because there is a maximum amount of blood in the caverns.

On the other side of things, men can lose a lot of their testosterone, causing libido problems. It stands to reason that if a man is not sexually charged, he cannot expect to get an erection that has the same quality as when he is really looking forward to sexual activity. By incorporating Tribulus Terrestris into their formula, they may be addressing this testosterone issue. Over time, it may boost these levels and restore some of the lost libido.

The other ingredients can often be effective at providing sexual benefits as well, provided the right grade of ingredient is used. Also, some of these ingredients take time to start working within the body, so it’s not always wise to expect immediate results.

Benefits:
- may increase erection size and quality
- may help with libido issues

Negatives:
- Yohimbe may produce side effects
- zinc may interfere with some multivitamins that also contain zinc

Ingredients:
- Zinc
- Yohimbe
- Maca
- L-Arginine
- Cat Straw
- Catuaba
- Muira Puama
- Nettle
- Oyster Extract
- Orchic Substance
- Cayenne
- Tribulus Terrestris

Meraplex is a sexual-enhancement formula aiming to accomplish a number of things: increase pleasure during orgasm, improve a man’s sexual performance, boost the libido, and assist in nurturing the prostate. The ingredients in Meraplex have a long history of being used all around the world for these purposes.

For starters, they rely heavily on Swedish flower pollen, an herbal extract that is extremely popular in certain cultures. It is said to increase the intensity of orgasms, adding contractions to the experience. The logic here is that if there are more contractions (or “ropes”), the orgasm will last longer, thereby making it more pleasurable. It may be said that this can help with libido as well, because if a man is looking forward to a more pleasureable orgasm, this can be stimulating.

Zinc has countless uses in the body, and in this case may be very effective at addressing sexual health and prostate health. The prostate contains zinc already, and a healthy, functioning prostate will continue to keep these levels adequate. But if they start to drop, problems may ensure. For this reason, many experts recommend taking supplements to ensure the health of the prostate. Also, zinc supplements may help increase the amount of sperm that is made, thereby potentially increasing the pleasure of the orgasm.

Another potential prostate benefit is the inclusion of Saw Palmetto, a plant whose berries contain Beta Sitosterol. Arguably, there is no other herbal supplement that eases enlarged-prostate problems better than Beta Sitosterol. This is why countless prostate formulas include it.

Benefits:
- may improve orgasms and sexual health
- may help in the upkeep of the prostate

Negatives:
- likely needed to be taken daily
- contains only four ingredients

Ingredients:
- Swedish Flower Pollen
- Zinc
- Saw Palmetto
- Pine Bark

Dymatize Joint Repair is a formula designed to help people who are having trouble with their joints. This can happen at any time during a person’s life, but especially as they approach and pass the age of 50. Wear and tear on the body can do some serious damage over time, and many people seek out herbal supplements to help with their woes.

They include glucosamine in their formula, similar to a number of other products. This is because glucosamine is known to help with the lubrication of joints, helping them to move better. It is found naturally in the connective tissue of our bodies, but the levels can get low as we age. It may be important to keep these levels high to prevent damage, and many experts say that taking supplements can be an effective way of doing this.

Chondroitin is another ingredient that is no stranger to the joint health arena. Many researchers say that it can stop some of the enzymes in the body whose “goal” is to hurt the cartilage. It too is found in the body even without supplementation, but levels can get low. These two ingredients also may work together to repair some of the damage done to the cartilage, but more studies are needed before this can become anything factual.

MSM is a sulfur that may help fight against abnormal inflammation. It has a variety of uses, and can be found alongside the other two ingredients in this product.

Benefits:
- may help with pain
- may fight inflammation

Negatives:
- contains only three ingredients
- may take some time to see results

Ingredients:
- Glucosamine
- Chondroitin
- MSM

Maca and Tribulus Terrestris are often seen together in supplements like MaxEjaxxx.

KRK Libido Male is a supplement for men designed to increase a man’s libido and assist in all-around sexual functioning. It contains popular ingredients for the homeopathic treatment of sexual problems.

The most powerful ingredient in this product is arguably Yohimbe. It is known to be quite powerful when the right grade is used, as well as the proper dosage. Yohimbe can give some people a much-enhanced libido, with a better opportunity at achieving an erection. It may open up some of the blood vessels and relax some of the muscle in the penis area, allowing for more blood to flow in. This essentially is how an erection works. Things like age and improper blood flow can inhibit the erection process over time, and herbs like Yohimbe may help reverse this process – at least temporarily.

Horny Goat Weed can work as a nice complement to Yohimbe in certain circumstances. It essentially is thought to work much in the same way as Yohimbe, but is more subtle. It may take a little longer for Horny Goat Weed to begin working, as it is more passive; it can take time to build up in the system. This is one of the complaints about Yohimbe; it can stimulate the body, and some people find this to be uncomfortable. It can be so effective, in fact, that more and more weight-loss supplements are using Yohimbe in their formulas to help curb the appetite. This is one reason why Yohimbe must be respected and used with care.

The phenomenon of losing testosterone is addressed in this formula as well. The herb known as Tribulus Terrestris is at the top of the list of extracts used for boosting the male hormone. Many sexual problems are attributed to the loss of testosterone as a man ages, especially concerning his lack of libido.

Other ingredients in the product are added to address nitric oxide in the body, help with libido, and perform all-around sexual functions.

Benefits:
- may help with erection strength
- may improve sexual drive

Negatives:
- Yohimbe may cause side effects
- may need to be taken daily for maximum results

Ingredients:
- Yohimbe
- Saw Palmetto
- L-Arginine
- Catuaba
- Horny Goat Weed
- Tribulus Terrestris

Tribestan is a supplement for men looking to address a few different areas of men’s health, yet particularly of the sexual nature – or in that spectrum. It contains Tribulus Terrestris, an herb that is commonly used in these situations.

As men age, they can begin to see a marked decline in their testosterone levels. They can begin to notice it through a number of symptoms: their hair can start thinning, they can start to feel depressed or full of anxiety, and their libido can start to wane. When the libido starts to go, erection quality can be negatively affected.

It is during these times that cultures all over the world have turned to supplements containing Tribulus Terrestris for help. For ages, herbalists have recommended it for its ability to change some of the aspects of a man’s body, naturally. While prescription drugs likely work from time to time concerning hormonal balance, many men are turning away from the potential side effects that these medications can bring.

Some experts say that if the right grade of Tribulus Terrestris is used over time, men can see a 300% increase in their testosterone levels. For many men, this can mean the difference between a strained sexual relationship with their partners and a fully enjoyable sex life.

Benefits:
- may boost testosterone levels
- may help with erection quality

Negatives:
- contains only one active ingredient
- may require weeks or months of dedication

Ingredients:

The Men’s Club Enlargement Formula is designed to improve men’s sexual performance, stamina, and erection size. It offers to be an herbal alternative to things like prescription drugs or potentially dangerous surgery for men who are looking to rid themselves of these sexual problems.

The product is loaded with herbal ingredients, and a few of them stand out as likely more potent than others. The first of these is Yohimbe, the main ingredient. Yohimbe acts as a stimulant, getting the blood in the body flowing. It also may help relax the penis area to allow more blood to flow into the chambers when a man becomes aroused. For this reason, Yohimbe is easily one of the most popular herbal aphrodisiacs in the world. That said, one must take care when using products containing Yohimbe, as it can be quite powerful. Some people report that its stimulating capabilities can be too much, causing heart palpitations.

There is also a dose of L-Arginine in The Men’s Club Enlargement Formula. This amino acid is known to be responsible for stimulating the production of nitric oxide, eventually helping to develop a proper erection.

Another important ingredient is Tribulus Terrestris, although this formula uses far fewer mg than it does Yohimbe. Over time, this herbal extract may encourage more testosterone production, helping to balance these hormonal levels. This in turn could improve a man’s libido, as well as have a variety of other man-related benefits.

The other ingredients in the formula have been included to do similar things and to complement the above-mentioned extracts.

Benefits:
- may help with erection quality
- may improve sexual drive

Negatives:
- must use Yohimbe with caution
- not for vegetarians

Ingredients:
- Zinc Gluconate
- Yohimbe
- L-Arginine

X-ROCK is a product for men containing organic compounds, designed to increase men’s sexual potency, specifically targeting the erection. Over time, men can start to lose the intensity of their erections, making sexual intercourse less pleasurable for both them and their partners. This formula combines a wide variety of herbal extracts that have been used for this purpose for quite some time.

A popular herbal ingredient, Horny Goat Weed is listed first. It’s one of the most widely-used natural aphrodisiacs, gaining much in the way of popularity in recent years in the United States. It also may relax some of the muscle in the penis to allow for a higher amount of blood to flow in. In theory, this should provide for a stronger erection.

Cordyceps and Mucuna Pruriens are both included to act as aphrodisiacs. While not nearly as popular as Horny Goat Weed in the Western world, they are nonetheless growing a following, especially in sexual-health supplements.

Often, one of the main reasons men begin to experience sexual issues is a decline in testosterone. When hormones become unbalanced, men may see a decline in libido that translates to weaker erections. The herb known as Tribulus Terrestris is used often to boost these levels and help men regain balance.

The formula also contains an array of ingredients like white willow bark and ginger (among others) to address other areas of health outside of the sexual spectrum.

Benefits:
- may boost libido
- may help intensify erections

Negatives:
- daily use required
- may be too many herbs for some

Ingredients:
- Horny Goat Weed

RigiDerm is a product for men that aims to help men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction, and for those looking to maximize their erection potential. The product comes as a topical cream and is to be spread on the penis before sexual activity. Also, it is thought that if a man can maintain a harder erection, the intensity of his orgasm can increase.

Libidron is a sexual enhancement formula specifically designed for men who are over the age of thirty. It is during this time in a man’s life in which he can start to exhibit sexual problems, including lack of stamina, erectile dysfunction, and erections that are not as strong as they once were. While there are prescription medications for this sort of thing, many men prefer to go the natural route to avoid unwanted side effects.

The Tribulus Terrestris plant is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels, helping to restore some hormonal balance during this time. This may help with a variety of problems, especially sexual ones. It is known to be an aphrodisiac, and is administered to people who are trying to conceive.

Saw Palmetto is another common ingredient in such formulas, being used to help promote proper blood flow and circulation. It is found in a variety of prostate-support formulas, as it contains Beta Sitosterol, a plant sterol. This plant sterol may help to keep the prostate healthy and reduce many of the symptoms of an enlarged prostate.

Another important ingredient in the Libidron formula is Siberian ginseng. This root may help to instill potent sexual energy in men, something that can be lost as a man approaches his 40s. Similar things can be said about guarana, one of the world’s most popular energy-boosting herbs.

ErectZ is a male-enhancement formula dealing with performance and virility. The ingredients have been used across cultures and countries for ages to provide benefits concerning sexual health.

The first of these ingredients is Tongkat Ali, often used to address hormonal issues. Testosterone levels can drop as men age, causing a ripple effect concerning sexual performance – at times, even erectile dysfunction. By supplementing the hormones, some of these problems may eventually go away. Maca root is another herb that is often used to boost men’s functioning, being used as a sexual tonic for eons.

Another is Horny Goat Weed. Consistent with its name, this herbal extract is known to instill desire in users, acting as an aphrodisiac. If men can begin to feel more sexual desire, they may be able to achieve stronger erections and perform at higher levels.

Ginkgo Biloba is yet another ingredient that is seen in this and other sexual supplements for men. It is said that it can boost the metabolism, helping to give men the energy they need to perform. It also may help to detoxify the system, removing harmful toxins that prevent the body from operating to its full potential.

Ying Yang Huo, while not quite as commonly used as some of the other ingredients listed here, may help to stimulate the libido and help with making erections firmer and stronger.

Benefits:

The ingredients Tongkat Ali, catuaba bark, and Tribulus Terrestris are all used to improve male functioning. While thought to be effective for many people, they are known to be especially helpful to men. Tongkat Ali and Tribulus Terrestris are both known for boosting testosterone levels.

L-Arginine and ginseng are often seen alongside each other in male-enhancement formulas. L-Arginine is known to help stimulate the production of nitric oxide, which is a crucial stage in a man naturally gaining an erection. Ginseng is known to provide circulatory support, theoretically helping to allow more blood to flow into the forming erection, making it firmer and potentially larger.

The prostate is also addressed in the Axtyle formula. Including ingredients like nettle, pumpkin seed extract, and cayenne pepper is a common tactic of prostate supplements. Nettle may help with urinary problems, pumpkin seed extract may be a mild deterrent to becoming stricken with prostate cancer, and cayenne pepper is known to be an adequate herbal antioxidant.

Super Prostate Formula is a prostate formula aiming to help provide support to the prostate. As men age, prostate problems become a big concern, and preventing problems with herbal supplements is becoming more and more common.

One of the main ingredients in Super Prostate Formula is Beta Sitosterol. This is a plant sterol taken from the Saw Palmetto plant, found in heavy concentration in the berries. This plant grows in warm climates, particularly in subtropical and tropical regions, such as the state of Florida. Beta Sitosterol is thought to help ease a variety of uncomfortable symptoms associated with enlarged prostates, including stop-start urination, frequent urination, and nighttime urination. Along with Beta Sitosterol, this formula also includes a Soy Phytosterol Complex.

Pumpkin seeds are known to have a number of health benefits, especially concerning the prostate. There are experts who advise men to snack on pumpkin seeds throughout their lives to help avoid the possibility of acquiring prostate cancer. While this is still largely unproven, some studies – and personal experiences – suggest that this is true. Men in certain areas of Europe traditionally will eat pumpkin seeds for just this reason. This formula contains extract from such seeds.

Lycopene is popular among prostate formulas due to its ability to assist in detoxifying the body. If the prostate is full of toxins, eventually there may be problems.

Bioperine has been added to the formula to help the body absorb the ingredients and use them effectively.

Benefits:
- contains a variety of ingredients
- may provide prostate support from various angles

Negatives:
- daily dedication required
- must take care when ingesting zinc, as too much may be toxic

Ingredients:

Prost-10 is a product for men who are looking to address prostate health. It contains ingredients that experts say may have positive effects on the prostate, providing upkeep and prevention of problems.

One of the ingredients that is known to be an essential part of keeping the prostate healthy is Beta Sitosterol. It is a plant sterol that is found in the berries of the Saw Palmetto plant, a plant that can be found in tropical and subtropical climates. Beta Sitosterol may provide some relief from common symptoms of enlarged prostate, including nighttime urination, stop-start urination, and the feeling of having to use the bathroom all the time.

Nettle and Pygeum Africanum are two other ingredients commonly found in such products, used for their combined effectiveness at keeping the prostate healthy. Pygeum Africanum has received some recognition for having the possibility at actually helping to shrink an enlarged prostate, although many experts agree that more study is required.

Lycopene can also occasionally be found in herbal supplements that try and support the prostate. Just like with other parts of the body, it is said that the prostate needs detoxifying from time to time, as toxins can build up and try and destroy organs. Lycopene is a natural antioxidant that can be found in vegetables, especially in red tomatoes.

Benefits:
- may help with prostate problems
- may help detoxify the prostate
