✓No flagged ingredients detected
Chromium (as chromium nicotinate glycine chelate)200mcg
Disputed

A trace mineral marketed for blood sugar control and body composition; trials show small or no effects in healthy people.

Ashwagandha Extract (Withania Somnifera)(root)150mg
~ Likely

An adaptogenic herb with good evidence for reducing stress and improving sleep at 300–600mg of standardized extract; lower doses are less studied.

Rhodiola Extract (Rhodiola Rosea)(root) 5% rosavins150mg
Disputed

Cordyceps (from Cs-4 Paecilomyces hepiali and Cordyceps militaris extracts) (mycelia biomass)800mg
Disputed

A mushroom marketed for energy and endurance; human evidence is limited and mixed.

Beta-Alanine1500mg
✓ Proven

Raises muscle carnosine, which buffers acid; around 3–6g a day for at least 4 weeks improves efforts of roughly 1–4 minutes. Harmless tingling is common; split doses reduce it.

Senactiv Proprietary matrix (Panax notoginseng extract, Rosa roxburghii fruit extract)50mg
~ Likely

A blend whose individual ingredient amounts aren't disclosed on the label, so the dose of each can't be checked against the research.

ATProTM Matrix (Calcium Pyruvate, Sodium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Ribose)500
Disputed

A sugar involved in making ATP; studies haven't shown consistent performance benefits in healthy athletes.
