Pre-Workout

Citrulline has recently become a MUST HAVE in all pre-workouts. That’s because research shows this nonessential amino acid helps boost performance, reduce fatigue and increase strength during exercise.

As a vasodilator, citrulline helps your body produce nitric oxide (NO) for pumping oxygen-rich blood to your muscles for more energy, strength and endurance.

But not all citrulline are created equal. There are different types of citrulline and some forms of citrulline are better than others - especially when it comes to exercise performance. That’s why after reviewing the compelling evidence, our team of exercise researchers here at PrimeGENIX chose a high-quality L-Citrulline Malate for the Pre-Workout formula.

L-Citrulline malate is a unique combination of l-citrulline and malate. Malate is an important component in your tricarboxylic (TCA) cycle, a critical source of energy for your cells (and also important for aerobic respiration). Research shows that when malate levels increase, energy levels increase as well.

The incredible performance-boosting effects of l-citrulline malate have been published by highly respected journals such as the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, the European Journal of Applied Physiology, and the British Journal of Sports Medicine to name a few.

But that’s just the beginning.

In order to “ramp up” the strength and energy-boosting benefits of l-citrulline malate, we threw a potent dose of L-Arginine HCL into the mix.

As you may know, arginine is an extremely popular pre-workout ingredient because it’s the amino acid your body converts into nitric oxide (NO). Research shows that elevated arginine levels are associated with higher NO levels.

Perhaps the most exciting news is that researchers discovered combining citrulline and arginine has a powerful synergistic effect. One study showed that the combination of l-citrulline and l-arginine increased nitric oxide MORE than either of them alone!

That’s why we combined l-citrulline malate and l-arginine HCL to the Pre-Workout formula.

Beta-Alanine (3-aminopropanoic acid) is a non-essential amino acid.

The scientifically-backed benefits of this wonderful workout nutrient are:

• Explosive strength & power output
• Increased lean muscle mass
• Improved endurance
• Boosted exercise capacity.
• Delayed fatigue

These amazing benefits can help you experience better exercise performance for achieving better overall results.

But that’s not all.

You see, Beta-Alanine is such an effective pre-workout nutrient because it significantly increases muscle carnosine. This is a big deal because when you train, hydrogen ions (H+) build up which lowers the pH in your muscles causing FATIGUE. Essentially, carnosine “blocks” hydrogen ions from building up in the first place, delaying fatigue, so you can work out harder, longer.

Athletes and competitive bodybuilders routinely rely on BCAA’s for awe-inspiring performances, muscle-pumping workouts and jaw-dropping results. But you don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from Branched-Chain Amino Acids during your exercises.

You see, BCAA’s are made up of 3 essential amino acids:

• Isoleucine
• Leucine
• Valine

And studies show BCAA’s can help you boost energy, lose fat, build muscle, improve exercise performance, reduce recovery times, and more!

This triple performance-boosting team also helps your body remain in an anabolic state during longer workouts. This is crucial for performing your best whether you lift weights or enjoy endurance sports.

BCAA’s are also known for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. This metabolic process helps your muscles grow faster. So you get better results from the same workout.

Another major benefit is reducing post-exercise soreness. So you’re not in too much pain directly after exercising or for days to come.

A unique factor of BCAA’s is how fast they travel to your bloodstream. Bypassing the liver and gut these energy-boosting soldiers march directly into your blood plasma immediately boosting energy levels - especially during high-intensity workouts. If you want more energy when you exercise, high-quality BCAA’s are a great pre-workout option by themselves!

Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a naturally occurring amino acid. It gets a bad rap because it’s found in common energy drinks. But this performance-enhancing superstar is seriously underrated.

Here’s the deal: Several studies conclude Taurine can help:

• Improve your reaction time
• Reduce the feeling of exercise fatigue  
• Boost your mental focus 

But not only that, Taurine is also known to elevate your mood - which some say creates an intense motivation to exercise. 

So if you’re looking for something to help you get-up-and-GO! then Taurine could do the trick. That’s why we put a whopping 1,000mg dose of high-quality Taurine in PrimeGENIX Pre-Workout. So you’ll feel more motivated to work out along WITH the performance-enhancing benefits of this amazing amino acid.

Niacin is a critical B vitamin that helps your body turn food into daily energy. It’s also essential for your body to create nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a special molecule shown to increase physical energy levels and boost mental performance - two critical elements for a great workout.

Vitamin B12 also helps convert nutrients into energy. That’s part of the reason why people who are deficient in vitamin B12 suffer from extreme fatigue. But not only that, vitamin B12 plays a role in the production of red blood cells which are crucial for transporting oxygen to your muscles while exercising. 

As you know, Vitamin C is the most notorious vitamin on the planet for good health and a strong immune system. But did you know that vitamin C deficiency can cause weakness and lead to a lack of energy? That means, without enough vitamin C, you could start feeling lethargic (making it virtually impossible to feel motivated to exercise) and even weaker in the gym. And that’s why bodybuilders keep their vitamin C supply sky-high. 

According to research, not only can vitamin C supplementation potentially boost your energy and improve athletic performance, but another reason why vitamin C is so crucial for your workouts is because it helps keep your testosterone levels optimal. In fact, several studies report vitamin C boosts testosterone. And we ALL know how important testosterone is for building muscle and keeping fat OFF our bodies!

No. Sodium and chloride are NOT “throw away” ingredients. These two unassuming super heroes actually help the ingredients in our Pre-Workout work even better for you. For example: Beta-alanine is only effective if it can travel from your bloodstream into your skeletal muscles - which depends on the availability of sodium and chloride in your body. Therefore, this one-two punch combo actually helps Beta-alanine “charge” your muscles with energy for a fantastic workout.

Think of a difficult exercise. One you really struggle with.  Now imagine breezing through that same exercise easier than before. Sounds amazing, right? Well, it might sound hard to believe, but that’s what research is beginning to show about Red Beets.

You see, Red Beets have natural vasodilating effects because of the high nitrate (CO3) content. Vasodilation improves blood flow which provides an array of health benefits, including improving athletic and cognitive performance.

And now, it seems like study after study are reporting the same thing: Red beets can boost mental performance while making difficult exercises easier. These studies are being performed at top universities like Wake Forest and being published by the Journal of Applied Physiology and others.

With all the new evidence backing the performance-enhancing benefits of red beets, the PrimeGENIX team of health researchers believed wholeheartedly it deserves a spot in this essentials-only Pre-Workout.
