NEUPHORIC Pre-Workout | Full Product Breakdown | Updated Sept26

The industry-changing pre-workout, NEUPHORIC , may be seen as a newcomer to the industry, but don't let this fool you. Its formulation took years of perfecting to hand-pick every ingredient, include them at the right doses and ultimately make the best pre-workout on the market.

That being said, The Formula prides itself on its dedication to educating everyone, and providing a space where everyone can learn. Most pre-workout companies include certain ingredients but they don't actually explain why they have included them, or what they actually do.

Read this article for a full product breakdown of every ingredient in NEUPHORIC pre-workout and why it is essential to create the best workout you can have. Make sure to comment if you have any questions or share this with your friends to make sure everyone is clued up on what they're taking in their supplements!

L-Citrulline (Pure L-Citrulline, Not L-Citrulline Malate)

At the core of NEUPHORIC is L-Citrulline, a critical element for enhancing Nitric Oxide (NO) production , facilitating improved blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscles , a.k.a the pump. Unlike L-Arginine, L-Citrulline circumvents liver metabolism, ensuring an efficient metabolisation to Arginine and an elevation in NO levels^[1]. That's why including L-Arginine in a pre-workout is pointless - it may not make logical sense but L-Citrulline is more effective at converting into Arginine (the part of the NO Cycle that produces NO) than L-Arginine itself!

This mechanism promotes superior vascularity, unparalleled muscle pumps, and heightened physical performance . Clinical evidence supports L-Citrulline's efficacy in boosting muscular endurance by 52.92% and reducing muscle soreness by 40%^[2], making it a cornerstone ingredient in the NEUPHORIC formula.

In terms of dosing, the minimum effective dose is 3,000mg of pure L-Citrulline, with the maximum efficacious dose being 10,000mg ^[3]. NEUPHORIC delivers 9,000mg of pure L-Citrulline plus 2,000mg Citrulline Nitrate – bringing you 10,400mg total Citrulline (right at the top of the efficacious range) alongside 600mg of performance nitrates.

Why Not L-Citrulline Malate?

A lot of companies use L-Citrulline Malate in their pre-workouts. Whilst Malic Acid (the Malate part) can be useful, most companies include it simply to boost the appearing dose of L-Citrulline. Furthermore, most of these companies don't chemically bond the Malic Acid to the L-Citrulline, they simply mix it in a big vat. This doesn't provide the same benefit they are claiming it does.

Citrulline Nitrate

An update to the NEUPHORIC formula saw the inclusion of Citrulline Nitrate – a two-in-one molecule: it bonds L-Citrulline directly to nitrates, so you get the pump-driving benefits of citrulline plus a concentrated hit of performance nitrates in one ingredient.

Nitrates convert to Nitric Oxide via the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway – a separate route to the one L-Citrulline uses – so the two work synergistically to drive blood flow, vascularity and endurance rather than doubling up on the same mechanism. Crucially, Citrulline Nitrate is a far more concentrated source of nitrates than the beetroot extract most brands lean on, meaning you get a meaningful 600mg nitrates without a huge, label-padding dose.

Betaine Anhydrous

Betaine is one of the most under-rated performance ingredients out there – which is exactly why we’ve dosed it properly with 4,000mg. It works primarily as an osmolyte: drawing water into the muscle cell, driving cellular hydration and that full, pressurised feeling under load (the hyper-hydration effect!).

Beyond hydration, betaine has a genuine body of evidence behind it for raw output. Supplementation has been shown to support increases in power, strength anf training volume, and to aid body composition over time. It does this partly by supporting the body’s own creatine production and aiding methylation.

At 4,000mg per serving, NEUPHORIC uses a clinically relevant dose of betaine – not a pixie-dusted sprinkle like most other brands.

Despite that, due to the giant dose of 4,000mg, your NEUPHORIC may still be slightly clumpy/have sandy texture if you don't mix it enough. Make sure you stir/shake frequently to ensure a smooth drink.

Caffeine Anhydrous & Di-Caffeine Malate

The dual inclusion of Caffeine Anhydrous and Di-Caffeine Malate offers a comprehensive energy matrix. Caffeine Anhydrous rapidly mobilizes the central nervous system, enhancing alertness, improving power output, training volume and delays fatigue by antagonising adenosine receptors. Furthermore, caffeine increases energy expenditurewhich can lead to making it easier to stay lean.

Also, due to caffeine's inhibition of the adenosine receptors, it also indirectly affects the release of:

Increases Norepinephrine: increases blood flow throughout the body, simulating stressful situations and stimulates glycogenolysis which increases blood glucose levels and creates readily available energy.
Increases Dopamine: results in increased feelings of pleasure, satisfaction and motivation.
Increases Glutamate secretion: responsible for shaping learning and memory.
Decreases GABA secretion: prevents the reduction in neurotransmitter excitability and allowing nerve transmission, which is essential for activity.
Increases Serotonin: responsible for learning, memory and happiness.
Increases Acetylcholine: triggers firing of motor neurones and affecting voluntary movements in nerve transmission.

Di-Caffeine Malate complements this with a buffered, sustained energy release, mitigating the potential for post-workout crashes. This synergistic blend not only maximises cognitive function but also supports increased energy expenditure for a more efficient workout.

This ingredient is a case where using Malic Acid has positive effects on the actual chemical composition: the Malic Acid is chemically bound to 2 molecules of caffeine to inhibit/slow down the release, leading to the buffered, sustained energy.

L-Theanine

L-Theanine is incorporated to balance and refine the energetic impact of caffeine, fostering a state of relaxed alertness, improving focus, and mitigating stress without inducing sedation^[6]. This balanced approach ensures a smooth, sustained energy level conducive to intense training sessions, enhancing cognitive functions essential for a focused and productive workout.

CDP Choline

Disclaimer: CDP Choline used to be Alpha GPC however due to changing legality in the UK you can no longer use Alpha GPC inside pre-workouts. That being said, we have equated the choline content using CDP Choline so even though Alpha GPC would be our first choice, you're still getting the same amount of choline.

CDP Choline (Citicoline) is a highly bioavailable and premium form of choline, known for its ability to quickly deliver choline to the brain by crossing the blood-brain barrier. It supports enhanced cognitive functions, such as memory, learning, and focus, while also promoting neural health and energy metabolism. Additionally, CDP Choline plays a key role in the synthesis of acetylcholine, a critical neurotransmitter for cognitive processing and mental clarity.^{[7][8][9][10]}

Proven to improve attention, mental endurance, and overall brain performance, CDP Choline integrates cognitive enhancement with sustained mental energy, making it an essential ingredient in the NEUPHORIC formula.^[11][12]

L-Tyrosine

L-Tyrosine is essential for synthesizing critical neurotransmitters, promoting improved cognitive flexibility, mood, and concentration, particularly under conditions of stress or fatigue^[14][15]. Furthermore, a study with the use of 2,000mg L-Tyrosine provided results that it increases cognitive flexibility^[16], so it can be useful outside of the gym too!

These effects occur because L-Tyrosine is a direct precursor to Thyroxine and to the neurotransmitters Dopamine, Epinephrine and Norepinephrine.

L-Tyrosine ➡️ L-DOPA ➡️ Dopamine ➡️ Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline) ➡️ Epinephrine (Adrenaline)

This ensures sustained mental sharpness and motivation throughout the most challenging workouts.

Why L-Tyrosine And Not N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine?

Great question! L-Tyrosine is the most bioavailable form of Tyrosine and where we aren't constrained by suspending it in liquid form, a powder is a perfect place for pure L-Tyrosine

Huperzine A:

Huperzine A, by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, elevates acetylcholine levels, thereby enhancing cognitive function and muscle contraction. This dual-action benefit is pivotal for ensuring optimal performance where mental and physical demands intersect.

It has been shown in studies to enhance memory, focus, overall cognitive function and learning performance^[17][18][19].

Furthermore, despite acting on choline transmission, some evidence from a rodent model study has suggested that it may also influence levels of other neurotransmitters, such as Dopamine and Norepinephrine ^[20].

Black Pepper Extract

The inclusion of Black Pepper Extract is strategic, enhancing the bioavailability and effectiveness of each ingredient within NEUPHORIC, ensuring maximum absorption and sustained impact of the supplement's potent components.

It achieves this by being a very effective CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor. Basically, these enzymes that it inhibits break down molecules in the body, so by inhibit thyme it can prolong the effects of the increases.

In addition, as Black Pepper Extract is an MAO inhibitor, it is also believed to help manage and treat feelings of depression as well as other neurological illnesses due to MAO breaking down neurotransmitters like Dopamine, Serotonin and Norepinephrine. So by inhibiting its activity, it can allow the effects of these neurotransmitters to be retained in the body.
