10x Athletic Extreme Stim Pre Workout FREE SHAKER !!

This supplement is not for the faint-hearted. With each scoop, 10X STIM is packed full of science-backed, premium ingredients to help you get the most out of your workout. Most brands will start by telling you what is included in their pre-workouts, but we want to tell you what’s NOT included in 10X STIM:

Taurine. Did you know some brands add Taurine to their caffeinated pre-workouts, and this actually makes their pre-workouts WORSE? Did you know that taurine and caffeine have opposite effects on your central nervous system? Here’s a little bit of science: Caffeine is a powerful stimulant, whereas taurine is an agonist for the inhibitory gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors.

The research shows that combining caffeine and taurine has NO tangible effect on your cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, power, or cognitive ability. If anything, it may have a detrimental effect on the pre-workout you are consuming! A 2017 study noted that combining taurine and caffeine actually INCREASED the feeling of FATIGUE. So adding taurine to caffeinated pre-workouts may not be the smartest choice for informed trainers looking for that pre-workout boost.

A Deeper Dive

So what is in 10X STIM?

8000 mg Citrulline Malate 2:1 Looking for better performance, recovery, energy, and more powerful pumps? Then citrulline is a ‘must’ in your pre-workout. Citrulline is a powerful (NO) Nitric Oxide boosting ingredient and has been found to be a more bioavailable and effective nutrient for boosting plasma levels of arginine than L-arginine supplementation alone. Before we go further, let’s put the l-citrulline vs. citrulline malate debate to bed once and for all. There’s only one winner when you’re looking to maximise high-intensity workouts and anaerobic performance. Unlike l-citrulline, studies have shown that when subjects consumed 8000 mg of citrulline malate, they improved their performances during chest and leg resistance training exercises, increased repetitions, and reduced their perceived exertion vs. consuming a placebo. Additionally, subjects experienced as much as a 40% reduction in muscle soreness when compared to subjects that didn’t consume 8000 mg of citrulline malate. Citrulline may also help your performance in the gym by reducing lactic acid accumulation in your muscles, as it plays an important role in ammonia buffering.

3200 mg Beta Alanine Supplementing with beta-alanine has been shown to elevate carnosine levels in skeletal muscle tissue by up to 80%. This improves a muscle's capacity to buffer hydrogen ions and offsets “the burn” sensation one experiences during intense exercise. Beta-alanine is an incredibly well-researched ingredient, and studies have shown that 3200 mg of beta-alanine supplementation can help reduce fatigue and significantly increase endurance. So what does all of this mean? Simply speaking, supplementing with beta-alanine can yield higher repetitions and superior performance in the gym. You might be wondering: if the goal is to elevate carnosine, why not supplement directly with carnosine instead? Studies have shown that beta-alanine supplementation is more effective at increasing carnosine levels than supplementing with carnosine alone. Beta-alanine is more bioavailable than carnosine, so it is more effective at elevating carnosine levels in your muscles. If you’re not used to supplementing with beta-alanine, please be aware of the ‘tingling’ (paraesthesia) sensation. Start with a lower dose and build up your tolerance.

3000 mg Creatine Monohydrate Quite possibly the most thoroughly researched and effective ingredient in sports nutrition. Creatine monohydrate is not only heavily researched, but it also has a tonne of evidence to support its efficacy. Creatine is an osmolyte that improves cellular hydration and ATP regeneration in your muscle cells. During exercise, ATP is broken down to produce energy. Creatine supplementation increases phosphocreatine stores, which means there is more ATP energy to fuel muscles during high-intensity exercise. As well as helping your muscle cells produce more energy, studies have shown supplementing with creatine monohydrate may lead to an increase in strength, muscle mass, muscle endurance, and aid recovery, amongst other benefits. Creatine monohydrate is the gold standard and is a must for any serious trainer. Creatine, like beta-alaine, is a saturation product and doesn’t require a loading phase. However, it is not uncommon for trainers to consume 3-5 g of creatine pre- and post-workout.

Caffeine Anhydrous 450 mg Simply speaking, caffeine is the king of (safe) stimulants and is the main energy-boosting ingredient in most pre-workouts. Research into the physiological effects of caffeine on physical and mental performance is very extensive. Caffeine levels in your body peak approx. 45–60 minutes after ingestion and can remain high for 3–4 hours before they begin to drop, so it’s not advisable to take caffeinated pre-workouts late in the day. Caffeine antagonises adenosine and GABA receptors (neurotransmitters that induce the feeling of tiredness and lethargy).

By preventing the binding of these neurotransmitters to their partner receptors, caffeine has been shown to increase mental energy, focus, and motivation, as well as enhance the feeling of alertness and improve reaction times. A recent study found that 4.45 mg/kg, or approx. 400 mg, of caffeine increased endurance in athletes and helped them burn more calories. Studies have shown that combining taurine with caffeine can have an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system and can increase the feeling of fatigue. Simply put, avoid combining caffeine and taurine in your pre-workouts.

400 mg Peak ATP Peak ATP is a patented form of Adenosine 5’-Triphosphate (ATP) Disodium. Peak ATP is identical in structure to the ATP produced and used in the human body. All living cells use ATP for energy. During exercise, the demand for ATP increases massively, and the rate of ATP turnover can limit high-intensity performance. In clinical studies, peak ATP has been shown to boost muscular power output, improve blood flow, increase the number of repetitions performed, increase lean body mass, and reduce fatigue versus placebo. Based on research, the recommended dose of peak ATP is 400 mg, the exact amount in your 10X pre-workout. Ideally, it should be taken (in your pre-workout) 30–60 mins prior to exercise.

2500 mg of Betaine Anhydrous Betaine is a heavily researched, safe, and highly effective performance-boosting supplement. Betaine is a natural osmolyte like creatine and promotes cell hydration. It also synergizes with creatine to enhance the biosynthesis of creatine in the human body. As an osmolyte, betaine enhances intracellular water, which encourages muscle volumization and muscle swelling. Research has shown that muscle swelling stimulates muscle protein synthesis and decreases protein breakdown, which ultimately leads to increased muscle size. Studies have shown that 2500 mg of Betaine supplementation may significantly increase anaerobic power, muscle protein synthesis, and lean mass gains in athletes.

1000mg L-Tyrosine Research has shown supplementing with tyrosine may increase levels of the neurotransmitters adrenaline, norepinephrine, and dopamine. These are important brain chemicals that affect alertness, mood, and your stress response. L-tyrosine is a dopamine precursor, a chemical that regulates the ‘reward and pleasure’ centres in your brain. Since reduced levels of dopamine decrease motivation and performance, increasing dopamine levels may have the effect of boosting brain function, mood, and performance under certain conditions.
1000 mg Beet Root Extract Beetroot extract is another powerful (NO) Nitric Oxide boosting ingredient. The nitrates found in beetroot juice and supplements have been shown to increase Nitric Oxide secretion. Human studies suggest that boosting NO may improve muscle pumps and performance in high-intensity interval training and prolonged aerobic training.

700mg Electrolytes Electrolytes are minerals that get electrically charged when dissolved in liquid and are essential for many important body functions. Like many other compounds in the human body, electrolytes need to stay within a certain range for proper health and function. During intense exercise, the body loses electrolytes and water through sweating. Depletion of electrolytes can lead to performance decline, fatigue, cramping, and an increase in the risk of injury. So we added Potassium, Magnesium, and Sodium to our pre-workout to replenish these vital minerals. These are three of the most common electrolytes that help support muscle contractions, nerve impulse conduction, regulating heart rate, and fluid balance in the body, amongst many other benefits. Research has shown supplementing with potassium and magnesium promotes vasodilation by increasing (NO) Nitric Oxide and prostacyclin, leading to improved blood flow and lower blood pressure.

B Vitamins Inc., 800 ug Folic Acid Folic Acid is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin B9. It plays an important support role in the production of dopamine and nitric oxide. B3 (niacin) plays an important role in energy metabolism and cell health. B6 (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate) may improve mood, reduce symptoms of depression, and improve brain health. Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) is an essential vitamin your body can’t produce. Supplementing with B12 may help support the normal function of nerve cells, energy production, and even help to minimize risk of cardiovascular disease. B12 also serves as an important cofactor in the production of dopamine.
20mg Bioperine and AstraGin Bioperine is a patented black pepper fruit extract used in pre-workout supplements to enhance nutrient uptake and absorption through its active component, piperine. Piperine is also a high-level anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and dopamine maximizer in the body (by stimulating the TRPV receptor in the brain). AstraGin is a patented, 100% plant-derived compound that also increases the absorption of many vital nutrients. Bioperine and AstraGin work synergistically to increase nutrient absorption and nutrient uptake; this can help you get more from your pre-workout.
