Kill It Pre-Workout

L-Citrulline - 2,500 mg / 5,000 mg
L-Citrulline is a non-essential alpha-amino acid that the body converts into l-arginine, which stimulates nitric oxide (NO) production for huge pumps. The key here is that arginine does not absorb as well as citrulline, which bypasses digestion and goes right to the bloodstream. In effect, citrulline does a better job of increasing arginine levels in the blood than arginine itself. ^(1,2)

Creatine Monohydrate - 1,250 mg / 2,500 mg
Kill It has always contained creatine. That demonstrates the kind of forward-thinking Rich Piana had towards this pre-workout. Too many companies make “creatine-free” pre-workouts when in fact creatine is one of the most effective supplement ingredients on the market. It’s the original cell volumizer, plus it extends endurance and improves strength.⁽³⁾

L-Taurine - 1,000 mg / 2,000 mg
Technically, taurine is a non-proteinogenic amino-sulfonic acid. That simply means it has a different structure than typical amino acids and is not a “building block” of protein. So what does taurine do? It has cognitive benefits and acts as an osmolyte. That means it pulls water into the muscle cells which increases muscle cell volume (water-based pumps). It supports creatine, glycerol, and betaine in this process.^(4,5)

HydroPrime® Glycerol Powder - 500 mg / 1,000 mg
Glycerol is a somewhat newer supplement ingredient that has taken the supplement market by storm. That’s for good reason. It’s a powerful osmolyte that hyper-hydrates the muscles and improves exercise endurance. In Kill It Pre-Workout it works synergistically with taurine, creatine, and betaine. Plus, we aren’t using some generic version, we’re using HydroPrime®, a state-of-the-art branded version.⁽⁶⁾

Betaine Anhydrous - 1,250 mg / 2,500 mg
Betaine can be found naturally in beets. It is the amino acid glycine with three methyl groups attached. It’s on the list of newer supplements and has become a standard pre-workout ingredient. Why? Because betaine is an osmolyte. See where we’re going with this formula?

Betaine also supports the body's production of creatine, thereby increasing strength and endurance.⁽⁷⁾

Beta-Alanine - 800 mg / 1,600 mg
Beta-alanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that combines with histidine, another amino acid, to form the dipeptide carnosine. By increasing carnosine levels, beta-alanine indirectly promotes training endurance by blocking acid buildup in the muscles. However, beta-alanine causes a temporary and harmless tingling and itching sensation. For this reason, we used a smaller but still effective dose. This gives lifters fewer tingles while still extending endurance.^(8,9)

L-Tyrosine - 500 mg / 1,000 mg
This amino acid is involved in creation of neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Dopamine plays a key role in the brain’s reward system, which controls desire, motivation, and cravings. Norepinephrine helps the body and the brain prepare for action, or the “fight or flight” response. It also supports alertness, attention, and memory.^(10,11)

Caffeine Anhydrous - 150 mg / 300 mg
We all know how effective caffeine is, right? Caffeine anhydrous is caffeine with all the moisture removed. This results in a more concentrated caffeine powder. Now Kill It Pre-Workout gets serious with a stronger dose of caffeine (when you use 2 scoops).

Alpha GPC - 150 mg / 300 mg
Alpha-glyceryl phosphoryl Choline is a type of fat that contains high amounts of choline. That's a B vitamin that helps maintain cell membranes. It’s also used to make acetylcholine, the “learning” neurotransmitter. It has a primary role in regulating brain function and muscle control.^(12,13)

Caffeine Citrate (50% Caffeine) - 25 mg / 50 mg
Caffeine citrate is a fast-acting form of caffeine. 50% of the total dose is caffeine, for that reason, it’s combined with caffeine anhydrous and brings the total caffeine content to 325 mg for 2 scoops. What if you don’t want that much? Easy - 1 scoop gives you 162.5 mg of caffeine.

Toothed Clubmoss (1% Huperzine A) - 200 mcg / 400 mcg
This ingredient enhances focus and indirectly increases levels of acetylcholine, which means it works with Alpha GPC to improve cognitive function.⁽¹⁴⁾
