Condense
is a novel approach to preworkout
performance-enhancement designed to expand performance capacity,
utilizing
patent-pending nutrient technology and peer-reviewed, human- validated,
orally
efficacious dosages, rather than merely and temporarily increase acute
performance as with most short-sighted, stimulant-laden products
currently on
the market. Purus Labs has revolutionized the preworkout category, once
again,
by actually achieving what other companies only claim: that is,
eliciting
extreme vasodilation through truly enhancing endogenous nitric oxide
production. This, in turn, causes a cascade of welcomed anabolic and
physiologically enhancing benefits to athletes of all cloth through
enhancing
blood-flow, heightening substrate utilization (i.e. better nutrient
absorption), preserving ATP stores, propelling oxygen delivery to
myocapillaries, and reducing overall exercise oxygen cost allowing you
to
handle greater workloads (e.g. more weight) and exercise longer before
exhaustion (e.g. more reps).
Nitrateneâ„¢
Inorganic
nitrate found in beets, spinach,
etc…proliferates nitric oxide through a novel biological pathway,
nitrate?nitrite?nitric oxide, converted through entero-salivary
circulation as
opposed to the more traditionally known arginine?NO synthase?nitric
oxide
pathway. Although nitrate, as related to exercise performance, is still
in its
infancy, the results on performance parameters are nothing short of
salivary
(pun intended)!
Nitrate
has been shown to be a powerful aerobic and
anaerobic ergogenic aid by reducing the oxygen cost of exercise,
translating
into lower perceived exertion and/or a greater maximal workload
capacity.
Astonishingly, the increased work comes without an accompanying
increase in
blood-lactate, meaning your muscles actually become more energetically
efficient. This increase in mitochondrial efficiency (P/O ratio) is due
to the
reduced cost of ATP (muscular currency) to produce muscular force.
Beta
alanine
This
non-proteinogenic amino acid is a constituent of
muscle-carnosine (beta-alanine-l-histidine), however, myocarnosine
content has
been shown to be significantly increased through beta alanine
supplementation
alone. Carnosine, which supplemental beta alanine enhances the muscular
concentration of, helps stabilize muscular pH levels by buffering the
hydrogen
ions produced through intense exercise. Intuitively, this stacks nicely
with
nitrates as they synergistically work through different modalities to
achieve
the same endurance effect.
Betaine
anhydrous
Betaine,
or trimethylglycine, is an interesting
compound found in beetroot juice as it serves as an osmolyte
(protecting cells
against dehydration), an antioxidant, and a methyl group donor serving
to lower
homocysteine levels. Human performance studies involving betaine found
it
increases power and force performance measures amongst trained
individuals and
was elucidated through these exercise protocols: bench press throw,
bench press
force, squat force, and vertical jump power. Another larger study
concluded
betaine aided in high intensity anaerobic training, allowing
individuals to
achieve more squat repetitions at 75% of their 1-RM with more
repetitions
achieved at =90% peak power.
1,3,7-trimethylxanthine
Obviously,
caffeine is a widely used and highly
efficient aerobic and anaerobic performance stimulant. Its effects are
as
highly acute and pronounced as they are vast. Caffeine improves
cognition and
alertness, antagonizes adenosine receptors, inhibits phosphodiesterase
(PDE),
increases epinephrine/norepinephrine/dopamine release, and enhances
intracellular sodium/potassium pump activity.
Electrolytes
Ionized
salts are abundantly found within our bodies
and serve the chief primary function of maintaining specific
concentration and
charge balances across cell membranes. We include the electrolytes
sodium,
potassium, and chloride within Condenseâ„¢ to aid in maintaining optimal
hydration status and blood volume during strenuous physical activity
thereby
blunting a rise in cortisol and quickening recovery.
