The Breakdown
Stimulated Euphoria:
Caffeine when paired with Theanine may be beneficial for improving performance on cognitively demanding tasks. Alpha Yohimbine, also a stimulant, mechanism of action involves blocking alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenergic receptors which aids in increasing adrenaline and dopamine as well as decreasing serotonin. Then to further boost Dopamine we’ve added Mucuna Pruriens and Tyrosine. Mucuna Pruriens contains L-Dopa a precursor of dopamine in the body. Tyrosine also plays a role as a precursor to Dopamine as it increases plasma neurotransmitter levels.

Mind Muscle Connection:
Including a full spectrum of electrolytes leaves nothing to be desired. Electrolytes are minerals found in the blood that help regulate and control the balance of fluids in the body. These minerals play a role in regulating blood pressure, muscle contraction and keep your system functioning properly. We’ve also included Vitamin D3 to aid with electrolyte homeostasis. Two Choline donors, Choline Bitartrate and Alpha GPC play a role as precursors to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine functions in the brain and body as a neurotransmitter. A chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells, such as neurons, muscle cells and gland cells. Alpha GPC specifically is a cholinergic compound found in the brain. It rapidly delivers choline to the brain across the blood-brain barrier. It increases the chemical acetylcholine in the brain which helps improve memory and learning. It is also often used to enhance power output in athletes.

Increased Blood Flow (Pump):
Shadow Advanced Pre-Workout attacks “pump” from 2 angles. First with Nitrosigine®, a patented complex of arginine and silicon. It can help performance with unique benefits important to the training athlete. It significantly improves blood protein levels that represent a large range of important physiological functions and play critical roles in a variety of cellular processes. It is clinically shown to significantly increase vasodilation, cognitive function, and much more. Then our second patented ingredient HydroMax™ is a highly-concentrated—65 percent—yet stable form of powdered glycerol in a proprietary blend of glycerol and silica. As a dietary supplement, HydroMax™ may help to support healthy cellular hydration and metabolism. It helps to prevent dehydration during exercise and to increase muscular pumps during resistance training.

Miscellaneous:
Beta Alanine and Taurine are also included in the formula as well studied ingredients. Beta Alanine may help improve muscle performance and endurance during high-intensity exercise. Also, research suggests that taurine may help improve energy levels, combat exercise-related fatigue, and reduce muscle damage.
