Ritual Pre-Workout
BETA-ALANINE
Beta-Alanine IS a non-essential amino acid, beta-alanine combines with the amino acid histidine to form carnosine. In muscle cells carnosine buffers against the hydronium ions and lactic acid which forms during exercise and can lead to muscle fatigue. Supplementation with beta-alanine can support strength, endurance and recovery.* Each scoop of RITUAL™ contains 1.6g of beta-alanine.*
CITRULLINE
Citrulline - The 'pump' amino acid, has been clinically researched and is suggested to enhance nitric oxide levels better arginine.* Studies suggest that citrulline increases the rate of ATP synthesis during exercise and greater phosphocreatine recovery after exercise.* Citrulline also reduces lactic acid and ammonia levels, which leads to better muscle performance and increased endurance.*
CREATINE MONOHYDRATE
Creatine monohydrate is critical to the energy replenishment cycle of muscle. Regular use of creatine can enhance power, endurance and energy levels while exercising allowing you to train harder longer and amplify results.*
TRIMETHYLGLYCINE
Trimethylglycine is also known as betaine anhydrous, this amino acid analogue helps reduce homocysteine levels in the body and stimulates production of creatine in muscle cells.* TMG can act as a methyl donor to help prevent dehydration of cells. As a supplement TMG can also amplify power output and training volume.*
AGMAPURE™
AgmaPure™ is a patented form of ‘green’ agmatine sulfate is not chemically synthesized, rather derived by fermentation, making it the highest purity material available. Agmatine has several functions in the body including: amplifying nitric oxide production, supporting the release of catecholamines, increasing GnRH levels and even potentially testosterone levels.*
XANTHAURINE
Xanthaurine is the active ingredient from Styphnolobium japonicum – a powerful antioxidant. Its effects have been extensively studied for the promotion of enhanced endurance. Less known however is its ability to help amplify nitric oxide levels 300% acutely after ingestion, making it core to the ‘pump’ properties of RITUAL™.*
N-ACETYL-L-TYROSINE
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine is a highly soluble form of the amino acid L-Tyrosine, and an important precursor in the production of epinephrine, dopamine and norepinephrine. These hormones contribute to elevated energy, mood and mental alertness.*
DN1000™
This trademarked form of Dendrobium nobile extract is concentrated 1000%. Traditionally dendrobium is used for its antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties, and has been studied for its ability to support the immune system.*
PEA (PHENYLETHYLAMINE)
PEA is a monamine alkaloid that can support mood, mental acuity, energy and focus.* Although relatively short-lived, when combined with Hordenine, the effects may be prolonged.*
HORDENINE
This stimulant help to extend the effects of monoamine compounds.*
HIGENAMINE
Naturally occurring in plants like Nelumbo nucifera, higenamine (or norcoclaurine) is a powerful bioactive alkaloid that acts as a beta-adrenergic receptor agonist, and can trigger an elevated thermogenic and anabolic response.*
ASTRAGIN™
This patented combination of Astralagus and Panax notoginseng amplifies the absorption of amino acids and vitamins. This maximizes the impact of the full-dose RITUAL™ formulation.*
