Features
Natural fructose to build energy levels
Vital electrolytes to keep blood chemistry in line and hydration levels stable
Calcium for muscles and caffeine for an extra kick to your power
Complex carbs in the form of maltodextrin (70-80% of the complex/simple carbohydrates blend) help maintain glucose levels
Citrates (potassium citrate, sodium citrate and citric acid) help speed the conversion of carbs into energy molecules and mitigate performance-sapping acid build-up in muscles
Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine, serve as another fuel source, aid in recovery and can improve mental performance and reduce fatigue by limiting the central nervous system's production of serotonin
Histidine, an essential amino acid, acts alongside the citrates as a buffer that helps neutralize lactic acid build-up in muscles
Antioxidant vitamins C & E defend muscles from assault by free radicals
Chamomile works as an anti-inflammatory and aids in recovery
